Hey ppl sorry it took me so long but I've been busy a lot lately lol lol hope you liked the last chapter because here comes chapter 24 ok enjoy love yazz!!!! -DM17
Ginny stared at Draco with disbelief, she couldn't believe was she was hearing. But seeing the look on Draco's face she knew that he was actually serious. Ginny swallowed hard and shifted uncomfortably.
"Uh, Draco...I....I don't know what to say-"
"Say yes" Draco said.
"Say....yes?" She repeated.
"Ginny, do you love me?" He asked
"Of course I do....but Draco don't you think-"
"Don't you think this is going a little to fast?" Mr. Weasley said cutting Ginny off.
"Look, I understand the love you bare for our daughter, but this....this is just all to much, your still kids after all, you know nothing of the responsibilities of a marriage." Mr. Weasley said. Draco stood up from off his knee and smiled at Mr. Weasley.
"Your right Mr. Weasley, after all I was born into an unloved marriage, and I may not know what a real marriage looks like, but I think I have a clue after looking at you and Mrs. Weasley the past few weeks." He said. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley both stared at each other then looked back at Draco.
"You two share a bond, a bond no one can ever brake and it's strange, but interesting to watch. Sure you can get into arguments, but in the end you kiss and make up afterwards, and in away it's very strange to me... when my mother used to get father angry he would always hold a grudge. Sometimes he would beat her. But not once have I ever seen him kiss her or make up for his behavior. Afterwards...I knew then that this wasn't a normal relationship so I got use to it because I knew it can never change unless somebody tried to change it....and I always hoped it would be mother to do it, but who was I kidding, mother was shit scared of him as much as I was when I was younger." He said. Everyone stayed silent they really didn't know what to say to him. Draco sighed.
"Look, I don't want to make you all feel sorry for me, that's not why I'm telling you this, I'm telling you this because I can learn from my parents mistakes. I can give Ginny anything she needs, and I can show her the love you two show for each other Mr. Weasley" Draco said
"But-"
"Mr. Weasley please, let me do this, I can do this, let me show you.... let me prove to you that I can give Ginny a good life, I can be a good father and a good husband as well.....I can... I really can...just...please" Draco pleaded. Mr. Weasley can see the determination in his eyes. He sighed.
"I don't know if this is the right thing for you to do but..." Mr. Weasley then looked at Mrs. Weasley for approval. She nodded at him and sighed. Mr. Weasley sighed too and looked back at Draco.
"You have our blessing. But it's not up to us, Ginny never made her decision yet" He said. Draco faced Ginny. She looked at him for a moment then sighed.
"If you mean it, if you really mean what you say-"
"Ginny you know I do, I wouldn't do anything to hurt you ever.... I promise you that, I promised your brother that" He said then chuckled at the end. Ginny smiled at him. She then gently placed her hands on both sides of his face and kissed him gently on the lips.
"Draco Tristan Malfoy....yes...I'll marry you" She said. Draco beamed at her then lifted her up in his arms. Although Ginny looked heavy, she really didn't feel that way to Draco at all when he picked her up, she felt light as a feather floating on air. They both laughed and everyone got up to congratulate them once again... even Ron. When the Christmas surprise was finally over, everyone was too tired to sort out wedding arrangements that night, so they all decided to go to bed except for Draco. Draco sat on the couch in the living room as he stared at the fire.
"Everything went according to plan, they actually gave us their blessing" He thought. "Now the only thing to do is get Ginny as far away as possible from letting that prophecy from ever coming true. He might know where she is when she's in labour but he will never get to her. I refuse to let him take her and my baby away from me....I won't let that happen. I can't let that happen...."
"Draco?" Draco snapped out of his thoughts and turned his head towards a familiar voice. Hermione came out from the kitchen with two hot cups of tea in her hands. She gave Draco one as she sat across from him. Both of them sat in silence as they stared into the crackling fire.
"Something isn't right" Hermione said now breaking the silence. Draco looked at her to find her staring at him.
"You know something, don't you?" She said. Draco said nothing but just continued to sip his tea.
"Draco something isn't right... and I know you know what it is, so just -"
"And what makes you think something is wrong Granger?" He said cutting her off. Hermione sighed.
"You don't have to go back to your old Malfoy ways just so you won't tell me anything. Draco....I know something is wrong, at first I just thought it was a regular accident but-"
"Are you talking about Ginny's pregnancy?" He said.
"I'm talking about everything Draco, the pregnancy, the marriage, I mean, I could handle you two being together that's fine since Ginny is your protector and all-"
"What makes you think that just because of some prophecy it's the reason why Ginny is my girlfriend?" Draco snapped at her. Hermione was about to continue but Draco had cut her off before she could.
"I loved Ginny before I even knew about that stupid prophecy, before that stupid prophecy ruined everything I..." Draco caught himself and he can feel the curse inside him start to burn. Draco closed his eyes to ignore the pain and suddenly the burning pain vanished.
"You what?" Hermione said leaning a little out of her seat to look at him. Draco sighed.
"It's nothing"
"Yes it is Draco there is something, fine, you two being together was fate but....somehow I don't think the rest isn't" Hermione said. Draco laughed.
"And you think the prophecy has something to do with Ginny being pregnant and me proposing to her?" Draco said laughing again. "Very smart Granger really, this one is your best work yet" He said. Hermione glared at him.
"Draco I'm serious"
"And I'm serious too" He said. "Look, you said it yourself that the great,great,great,great grand child of Irma Black will be able to defeat Voldemort, and that person is me right?" Draco said. Hermione got up and then walked across towards the window. Hermione crossed her arms as she watched the snow fall outside, then she turned and face Draco.
"Draco, do you believe that your still the one to defeat Voldemort?" She asked. Draco hesitated at first he really wanted to say no, he wanted to tell her everything but he just couldn't.
"Yes, yes I do" Draco lied. "Why, you don't think so?"
"I just think I'm looking at the information wrong, I don't think you're the one that is suppose to kill him." She said.
"So, what are you really trying to say here, we all thought Harry was suppose to kill Voldemort, turned out we were wrong weren't we, and Harry doesn't even know does he?" He asked. Hermione looked away.
"No" She said. Draco laughed.
"C'mon Hermione, if you were really worried about this prophecy you would've told Harry and Ron and the rest of the family on the spot instead of you and Luna keeping all this stuff to yourself, this just shows how much you really don't care about this-"
"But I do care!" Hermione shouted defensively. "I just can't really do anything about it without anymore information..."
"That never stopped you before" He said. " I can count loads of times where information or not, the golden trio always takes on action wether if it's not fighting Voldemort, it's taking out a bad defense against the dark arts professor, or battling a three headed dog just to get to some stupid stone, or killing a humungous snake with just a puny little sword-"
"But all of that took evidence and information Draco, and I was never alone I had people to help me" She said as she rested her hand on his shoulder but he shrugged it off. Then he got up and faced her.
"Look, I'm fine and so is Ginny, this whole prophecy thing was stupid okay, so just forget about it, stop worrying about things that do not concern you. And even if there was a problem, I'm pretty sure I can handle it on my own, Ginny and I don't need you , or Ron, or Harry for that matter to help us. I'm going to take care of Ginny from now on, so all of you don't need to worry about her, she's in safe hands" He said. Hermione said nothing but just stared at him.
"You sure about that?" She finally said. Draco then set the cup of tea on the wooden table near the fire, he then turned around and headed upstairs.
"There is something wrong....isn't there?" She asked. Draco stopped walking but didn't turn around.
"Goodnight Granger." Draco said ignoring her question then continued to walk up the steps. Hermione sighed then looked at the crackling fire, watching the burning flames dance.
The next day everyone sat at the table eating breakfast. Ginny was so happy she can finally stop wearing those baggy secondhand clothes and into her regular but a little looser clothes and show her huge stomach to everyone. Now and then, Mrs. Weasley would give Ginny more food than normal and help her get around the when she wanted to go somewhere. Ginny thought it was annoying but since Draco said she needed the help she had no choice but to just let her mother do it. Everyone was so excited about the baby and the wedding that they couldn't stop talking about it at the table. Ginny looked up at Hermione who was silent and kept giving Draco glances across the table. Ginny raised an eyebrow at this, then nudged Draco in the ribs. Draco looked at her.
"What?" He said
"Did you say anything to Hermione?" She asked. Draco then looked at Hermione. Who stared at him for a moment then continued to eat her bacon.
"See, she keeps staring at you, so there can only be one reason for that...you must've said something mean to her."
"Oh c'mon Gin, do you really think Granger cares about what I say about her?" He asked.
"You may not think so, but girls do have feelings Draco, she may not had said anything to you about it but her expression shows it all" Ginny whispered to him so no one can hear her conversation.
"Trust me Gin, I don't think Hermione would be upset for something I said" He said. Ginny rolled her eyes.
"So Ginny, Draco, have you decided how you want your wedding to be?" Mr. Weasley asked. Ginny was about to reply but Draco got to him first.
"Actually Mr. Weasley, I've already taken care of it" He said.
"You have?" Ginny said as she looked at him. "When was this?"
"Well, I wrote a letter to the wedding planner who did my parents wedding" He said calmly as he ate his scrambled eggs. Ginny stared at him with disbelief.
"Without saying anything to me at all?" She said. Draco then looked around at everyone who just stared at him.
"Is...Is that a problem?" He asked.
'Yes, it's a problem Draco, how could you?" Ginny said.
"Look Gin, everything is under control I can take care of it myself.... you don't need all that stress to handle anyway. You being pregnant is enough for you to handle....."
"What, so just because I'm pregnant I can't do anything else?" Ginny said angrily, "Draco I appreciate the help really but this is just ridiculous, I'm part of this relationship too and-"
"Ginny please, that's enough, I know what I'm doing so just relax and leave it to me-"
"But I-"
"Ginny" Draco said frustratedly. Ginny looked at him then kept her mouth shut. She sighed and continued to eat her breakfast.
"By the way, the wedding ceremony will be held in two weeks" Draco drawled. Ron spat out his pumpkin juice across the table.
"Ew Ron!" Luna shouted wiping the juice off her face but Ron ignored her.
"Two weeks?!" He said. Draco stared blankly at him.
"Yes"
"But thats just too soon!" Ron shouted.
"I don't think it's too soon, I think it's perfect. The quicker I marry Ginny the better, don't you think?" Ginny stared at Draco in disbelief.
"Uh, Draco, It's nice that you want to be married to Ginny as soon as possible, but there is one thing you have to know about being in a marriage, sure there's love and commitment, but being in a marriage also means making decisions together, you can't just go and do things on your own without letting Ginny know about it." Mrs. Weasley said. Draco shrugged his shoulders.
"She knows about it now, doesn't she?" He said. Ginny rolled her eyes then got up from the table in anger.
"I'm going up stairs" Draco suddenly got up to help her but she gave him a sharp glare.
"By myself!" She shouted. Draco slowly sat back down in his seat. Staring at Ginny's back as she walked away.
"She'll get over it" He said. Hermione shook her head in disbelief. Draco looked around at everyone who looked very disappointed in him, he sighed .
"Look, everything is under control , let me at least take care of things" Nobody said anything but just continued to eat their breakfast. Draco took this as a yes then got up from the table and left the kitchen. Suddenly a scream was heard from upstairs. Draco rushed upstairs and busted into Ginny's room.
"What's wrong, what happened, are you alright?!" Draco shouted as he looked at Ginny then looked around the room. Ginny held her big stomach as she started to pant.
"I-It's all right Draco, I'm fine, it was just the baby.....it kicked" She said. Draco sighed with relief then walked over to her and helped her sat down on her bed.
"Wow, that was really painful" She chuckled as she rubbed her stomach. This was actually the first time the baby kicked her since she got pregnant. Draco then gently placed his hand on her stomach, suddenly he felt a hard kick, Ginny winced at this, Draco quickly reacted as he jumped up. He couldn't believe that there was life inside of her, his child.
"It's so strong" He whispered
"Like it's father" Ginny said as she looked up at him. He nodded then smiled at her. "I promise I'll protect you, I won't let anything happen to you or the baby" He said. Ginny placed her hand gently on the side of his face. She smiled at him.
"You seem so tense and worried lately, tell me what's wrong Draco, cause I know there is something wrong, so tell me....please" She said. Draco gave her a faint smile.
"It's nothing you need to worry about Ginny, all you need to know is that from now on I'll protect you" He said. Ginny smiled at him then kissed him more passionately on the lips.
"This will be a brighter future...for all three of us" He said as he lightly kissed Ginny's swollen belly. She giggled at him.
Today is the day. Ginny stared at herself in the mirror. Her red hair was beautifully curled and pinned up leaving some of her hair falling at the side of her face. Her face had a little bit of make up, blushed with the color of pink roses and her lips lightly glossed. Her beautiful velvet cream dress was a sheer chiffon edged with gold trim and lace edging draping from the biceps of her puffed sleeves. The gown also accented with a cream/rose jacquard trim belt at her waist she also wore glass heel shoes that fit her feet gracefully. Her stomach was as big as the moon and obviously showed through her wedding gown but she didn't care, all she cared about was marrying the love of her life.
"Everything is perfect" She whispered. Suddenly a knock was heard from behind her bedroom door.
"Come in" she said. Hermione walked in the room, she took one look at Ginny and gasped.
"Oh Ginny you look amazing!" Ginny smiled at her.
"Thank you"
"Are you nervous?"
"Surprisingly.....no, not at all" Hermione walked up to her hen hugged her "I can't believe this is happening to my best friend"
"Me neither" Ginny whispered as She continued to stare at herself in the mirror. Hermione then gave a little frown. Ginny noticed this in the mirror and turned towards her friend.
"What is it?" She asked.
"I'm scared for you Ginny, something....something just doesn't feel right about all this" Ginny laughed.
"I figured you say something like that" Ginny said. She walked past her and sat down on her bed.
"And to be honest with you I feel the exact same way"
"You do?" Hermione said looking at her confused. Ginny stayed silent unable to look at Hermione for a minute. "Its not the marriage I'm afraid of, its my future, and Draco. For some reason I've been getting weird feelings around him like there is something I should know but he just won't tell me, so then I start to wonder, will it be like this for the rest of my life....all these secrets?"
"Do you think there are secrets?" Hermione asked. Ginny stayed silent for a moment looking back at herself in the mirror than she turned to her friend
"I...I don't know...but I feel it, you believe me right Hermione?"
"Of course I do Gin" Hermione said as she gave Ginny a tight hug.
"C'mon we should probably get you ready for entering the wedding" Hermione said as the both left the room. Draco stood nervously in the back yard. He wore a black tuxedo, his hair was slick back but left little stand fall into his face. He rocked slightly back and forth waiting as he stood by the beautifully set altar. As a matter of fact the whole backyard looked incredible with the help of Draco's wedding planner.... and Mrs. Weasley of course. Everything in the back yard looked like a castle, where it was laced with the most finest silk all over the trees and hedges, candles delicately floating above the air. The a white silk spread was laid down the aisle covered in red rose petals, the both sides of the backyard were full of white chairs that were seated with family and friends. Draco sighed again as he continued to rock slightly back and forth.
"Nervous?" Draco turned around to face his best man. Blaise smiled at him and Draco smiled back.
"You bet, I can hardly stand it. What if this doesn't work out?" Draco asked. Blaise placed a hand on his shoulder.
"It will, just trust that it will" Blaise said smiling at him. "You're a good person Draco and I know you would make Ginevra happy"
"Did you ever think I would be the one to get tied down to one girl" Draco said as he gave a nervous chuckle.
"If anything I knew you would be the one to get tied down to Ginny, I always knew that since that day she enrolled at Hogwarts" Draco smiled at Blaise then Ron appeared with Harry, Fred and George all of them wearing black tuxedos.
"I never thought that my baby sister would be the one to marry a Malfoy, I always thought it would be Harry" Ron said with a serious face. Draco gulped.
"Uh look Ron I-"
"But for some reason I'm glad that its you, she loves you a lot mate, and she sees a lot of greatness in you... I see it too" Ron said. Draco sighed with relief
"We're all proud of you Draco, your about to marry a great girl... don't lose her" Harry said.
"Trust me I wont, she means everything to me more than you can imagine, and I'm glad you guys accept us.....I'm glad you accept me" Draco chuckled. They all smiled at him then placed them selves behind him in a line. Music began to play and the whole back yard was filled with people. Luna appeared first slowly walking down the aisle in a navy satin strapless dress holding a bouquet of white roses, Hermione came down the aisle after her in the same dress holding a bouquet of red roses, Lavender was next down the aisle then Pavarti. Draco's heart started to pound hard, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment when he opened them his mouth dropped to the floor. There stood the love of his life smiling at him under the glow of floating candles. Ginny started to walk gracefully down the aisle holding the bouquet of red and white roses Mr. Weasley was also accompanying her. Draco let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding, to Draco it felt like the whole place went silent and no one was there...just Ginny. When she finally reached him she smiled widely at him, her eyes sparkling with joy, she then kissed her father on the cheek and he gave her a comforting smile and motioned her towards Draco. Ginny linked her arm through his and he gently kissed her on the cheek.
Ginny gave her bouquet of roses to Luna, her maid of honor, then faced then they both faced the preacher. As the preacher began to speak, Draco lightly leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "You nervous?" Ginny gave a small smile, "No, you?" She asked back.
"Now that I've seen you...no I'm not nervous at all" Ginny gave his arm a little squeeze.
"Do you have the rings?" The preacher said referring to Draco. Draco then took the rings from blaise and gave one ring to Ginny while he held the other ring.
"Now you shall both say your vows" The Preacher said. Draco took Ginny's hand in his while he kept his eyes on her. He smiled warmly at her and she smiled back, he took a deep breath and began his vow.
"I, Draco Tristan Malfoy, take you, Ginevra Molly Weasley, for my lawful wedded wife,to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part." He said as he then slipped the ring on to her finger.
"Ginevra, I believe it's your turn now, will you please say your vow?" The preacher asked. Tears slipped down Ginny's cheeks as she began to say her vow.
"I, Ginevra Molly Weasley, take you, Draco Tristan Malfoy, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part." She said the last sentence in a whisper as she slipped the ring o n Draco's finger as well. The preacher smiled at them then put their hands together and then took them in his.
"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take pleasure in other peoples sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Cherish each other deeply and take care of each other, protect each other from the good and the bad no matter what"
"Don't worry, I plan on doing just that" Draco whispered looking at her. Ginny smiled at him.
"So by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Draco pulled Ginny into him and kissed her passionately, Ginny squeaked in joy and then wrapped her arms around him. Everyone began to clap loudly for them. When the ceremony was over, the wedding reception took place in the same back yard only their was now tables on each side of the yard leaving a wide space for a dance floor. Everyone took their seats and began to eat the food that was placed in front of them by the house elves. Draco and Ginny sat by a long table that was placed in the upper center of the backyard. Ginny stared at her family and friends and watched them happily but she then frowned and realized that this was the only family from her side that came to her wedding. Not one of Draco's relatives didn't showed up, she remembered him saying that he had send out invites to them but he wasn't going to get his hopes up and that she shouldn't either. Ginny knew this but she couldn't help but hope they'd come to their wedding. She sighed. "I know it's because of me the reason why Draco's aunts and uncles aren't here, it's because I'm a Weasley...I guess some families will never change" She thought. Draco glanced at her and saw the frown on her face. He kissed her on the forehead and she looked up at him.
"I don't think it's the Bride's job to frown on her wedding day" Draco said. Ginny chuckled at this then leaned over and lightly kissed him on the lips.
"Of course it's not"
"Want to tell me what you're thinking then?" Ginny hesitated for a moment then gave a heartily laugh.
"The only thing I'm thinking about, is me and you finally being together and not trying to keep us a secret anymore, I mean, it was so hard for us to be together. and I never liked keeping secrets from my family, I just- I don't know I'm just glad I get to be with you for the rest of my life to actually be with some one I love and some one that love's me back is such a blessing. I don't know what I'd do if I had ever lose you. You're my everything" Draco Lifted her chin to him and gave her a warm smile.
"Listen to me Ginny, You will never lose me, you'll always have me here" Draco said as he rested his hand over her heart. "And I promise you that I will never leave you lonely I'll always protect you no matter what, because I am your husband and your friend and I care for you so much that I would die for you...and that's the honest truth so you better believe it...I promise you I will never let anyone hurt you, never...okay?" He said. Ginny nodded her head and rested her hand on his cheek.
"You've changed into a better man Draco Malfoy, always stay that way"
"I have you to thank for that"
"I believe the mother of the groom should be getting a kiss" Ginny and Draco both turned slightly around to see Narcissa Malfoy standing there before them. Just as how Ginny saw Draco's mother the last time she was still beautiful, a little thinner but was still a sight for sore eyes. Narcissa smiled at both of them.
"Mother?!" Draco shouted in shock.
"Nice to see you too dear, now can I get a hug or are you just going to stand there looking at me as if I'm some kind of pale ghost?" By that time Draco stood up and almost leapt into his mothers arms. He buried his face into her neck and inhaled her flowery scent.
"Mother" Draco said breathing out her name as he said it. Narcissa hugged him tightly as tears began to fall down her face. "Oh my Draco how I've missed you so!" Ginny smiled lovingly at them. She thought Draco almost looked like a 6 year old child holding on to his mother for dear life. When they separated, Draco got a closer look at his mother. She looked beautiful, her long floor touching, black satin dress fit perfectly on her and her long locks of blond hair cascaded down past her shoulders, the ends curling under neatly but you were still able to see her natural rosy face.
"Mother I still can't believe it's you, what are you doing here?" Narcissa raised an eye brow at him.
"What do you mean what am I doing here, I am your mother after all, wether your married, or not married. Besides I heard about your little wedding ceremony and decided to come the groom cant have a ceremony without his mother being there, now cant he?" Draco felt a little guilty about this he was so concentrated on protecting Ginny and preparing the wedding, that he forgot to send and invite to his own mother! Draco sighed at this.
"I'm so sorry mother that I did not send you an invite, I mean I would have if I wasn't so caught up in the wedding arrangements, you would have been the first person on my mind to invite, you have to believe me on that and-
"Shhhh, it's fine I understand, your still my son and I still love you no matter what" She said as she rested her hand on his cheek. Draco gave a sigh of relief.
"I thought you were being protected by the order?"
"I am, and it just so happens that they wanted to attend the wedding too" She motioned for him to look behind her, Draco looked up and saw everyone from the order sitting in one of the tables. Snape, McGonagall, Mad- Eye Moody, Tonks, Sirius, Lupin, Kingsley and Dumbledore all waved at him smiling. Draco looked back at his mother.
"You have no need to worry I am well protected" Narcissa then noticed Ginny who was smiling at them both. "And this lovely young lady" She said as she approached Ginny. "I assume this is the bride, how beautiful you are my dear" Ginny smiled then stood up. Narcissa gave a surprised look as she stared at Ginny's stomach. "And pregnant?" Narcissa said as she let out a breath. Ginny looked down at her bulging stomach then looked back at Narcissa with a 'You caught me' look. She almost forgot about her pregnant belly showing through her dress.
"Um, Mother let me explain-" Draco started to say but Narcissa lifted up a finger and silence approached him. Narcissa gently touched Ginny's stomach and then suddenly a kick met with her hand. Narcissa reacted quickly and pulled back. She gave a heartily laugh and then hugged Ginny. Ginny looked at Draco with confusion but all he did was shrug his shoulders. He was just as confused as she was. Narcissa let go of her and smiled at her euphorically.
"A baby my dear girl, oh how wonderful for the both of you!"
"Thank you Mrs. Malfoy"
"Oh please dear your my daughter in law now, from now on you'll refer to me as mother" Narcissa said. Ginny smiled at her then chuckled.
"Well, thank you once again mother" Ginny said. Looking satisfied Narcissa hugged Ginny again then turned back to Draco. "I need to talk to you" She whispered to him. Narcissa looked at him with a concerned look and he sighed.
"Does it have to be right now?"
"No, later but right now you go and spend some time with your new wife" She said as she gave him another hug. she then left and sat next to Professor Snape. Draco made his way back to Ginny and took her hand in his. Suddenly a familiar song started to play. Ginny smiled warmly at him and he smiled back.
"Our song Draco" Ginny said. Draco placed out his hand in front of her.
"Can I have this dance?" Ginny placed her and in his and he then led her out on to the dance floor. Ginny wrapped her arms around his neck and he gentle held her waist then they both started to sway to the music.
We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you........
"I can not believe you would choose this same song for our wedding"
"Well I have impeccable taste so obviously I knew you would want the same song we dance to at the Winter Ball to play at our wedding" Draco said. Ginny laughed at this. "Oh really now?"
"Yes really " He said as he spun her around then guided her safely back into his arms.
"You amaze me everyday Draco Malfoy"
"And I'm glad I'm the only one who can, I wanted this to be special Ginny for both of us, something like this needs to be remembered forever" Ginny then laid her head on his chest.
"Don't worry it will, I'll always remember this" Then she looked up at Draco. "Never leave me" she said.
"Never" He whispered back to her. Suddenly Narcissa appeared in front of them.
"Draco, you have a minute?" She smiled as she said it. Draco sighed.
"Gin, I'll be right back ok, I need some time with my mother" He said. Ginny nodded.
"Of course, I'll be here when you get back" She said. Draco smiled at her then walked over to his mother who led him back into the house where they can be alone. When they reached inside she motioned for him to take a seat on the couch. Draco did what he was told and sat down gracefully on the plump couch. Narcissa had her back on him for a while then turned around and faced him.
"I know what's going on Draco"
"How much do you know?" Draco asked
"Enough to know what's going to happen to my new Daughter-in-law and her child, Draco does Ginevra even know about this?"
"Ginny knows enough to know that I'm here to protect her"
"So she doesn't know, how long do you plan on keeping this up Draco, sooner or later that girl...your wife, will know the truth and she will detest you for never telling her the truth, for hiding things from her, trust me I should know."
"Mother there are some things that needs to be taken care of on my own, Ginny doesn't need the stress she's already trying to cope with having a baby why make this even more difficult for her. And how did you know what was going on?" Draco said raising and eye brow.
"I'm your Mother, I'm suppose to know these things, besides, I know how your father is and it was obvious that he would use you and that curse to manipulate that poor child and her baby just to please the Dark lord" She said. Draco sat silently on the couch, his face frustrated as he looked at his mother.
"Draco this is serious, Ginny may be pregnant but that doesn't mean you should leave her out of these things...especially when one of them involves her life-"
"Mother that's enough" Draco said then he gave a large sigh. "Look, if you're so worried about us, would it make you feel better if I told you I was moving back into Malfoy Mansion?" His mother gave a shocked look.
"By yourself Draco?"
"No of course not Mother, I'll be moving in with Ginny, and I want you to come back too" He said giving her a serious look.
"Uh, Draco I don't think-"
"Mother please, you wouldn't have to worry anymore, I'll take care of you and Ginny, I'll make sure nothing happens. I know all the protecting and barrier spells, the hardest ones, even father doesn't know about them" He said. He then got up gently and walked gracefully towards his mother. "Mother, please, come back to Malfoy Mansion. We'll be the same again once your back, We'll be a family again...don't you want that?" His mother smiled at him and gently placed her hand on his cheek.
"No matter where we are Draco, we'll always be a family... you know that" Draco roughly moved his face away.
"But it won't be the same. I can't live with myself if I knew I was the one to leave you alone this time. You're being protected by the order mother, but that does not mean you're happy. You know you would be happy again if you were with me, if you were living in Malfoy Mansion with me. I can take better care of you than them I know I can-"
"Shhh, of course you can my son" Narcissa gave a large sigh. "Fine, I will discuss with the order about me moving back home. But I can't make any promises dear. You know how Dumbledore is now that your father is out of Azkaban and is helping the Dark Lord. Dumbledore has become very protective since he heard about the news" Draco nodded then hugged his mother tightly this time, afraid that if he let go she'd vanish. Narcissa smiled at him and gently hugged him back.
"I'll make things right this time mother, you'll see" He said. Narcissa frowned at this.
"My poor boy" She whispered, but Draco did not hear her.
