Epilogue

"Ow! That hurts!"

"It's called physical therapy..."

"Yeah, physical therapy, not beat Ginny to death...again."

Draco heard the commotion long before he arrived in the PT room. Ginny was on her back and Mary, her physical therapist was leaning over her as she did something that looked like it would break bones.

Ginny, hyper aware of his presence since the incident, looked over instantly, a smile brightening her mismatched eyes. Since the manor things had changed. Ginny's appearance was one of them. Her hair was still its usual bright red but there was a streak of dark, wine red that ran from her left temple. Her freckles were gone and one eye was purple while the other had faded back to its original brown. In all, she was half Adriana and half Ginny and he loved every part of her.

"I guess that's good enough," Mary said reluctantly.

"Thank you," Ginny said, bounding to her feet. She stumbled slightly, another change. She'd never been clumsy before but now her reflexes were slower and she fell often. Her unbridled power was gone as well, replaced by what he assumed were her natural abilities.

"Isn't it bad luck to see a bride before the wedding?" he asked.

"The wedding isn't until tomorrow," she said, going on tip toes to kiss him.

"How right. Mary, thanks again. I'll bring her back after the honeymoon."

Mary nodded with a smile.

Ginny wrapped her arms around Draco's waist and matched his step as they walked out. "Is everything all ready?"

"I think your mother and mine have finally stopped bickering and decided on a color scheme."

"Oh dear. It's going to be like Sleeping Beauty, isn't it?"

He gave her a look. "I'm sure they won't put you under a sleeping spell," he said.

She giggled. "That's not what I meant. I'll rent the movie and you'll see what I mean."

"When?"

"Tonight if you like."

"I thought we were spending tonight apart? You know, make the honeymoon that much more special."

"Forget that shit."

He laughed and kissed the side of her face, right beside her purple eye.

"How's Coriander?"

"Thrilled over everything. You know her."

"I hear Teddy's quite taken with her."

"Potter's god son is four. He hasn't learned yet that some girls are out of limits."

Ginny giggled again. "I love you, you know that right?"

"I wouldn't have saved your life if I didn't," he joked.

"Yes you would," she said with absolute conviction and she was right. He smiled and kissed her on the lips this time.

THE END

(A/N: Ah, gotta love it. And look! I stuck to my New Years Resolution which was to finish at least one fic per month!
