So a few people have commenting about wanting a different ending so here it is. I hope you all enjoy this.


Alternate Ending

"Draco?"

The man sat with his back to her. Was it him? She wondered. What if it wasn't? Ginny moved to walk down Diagon Alley, sighing sadly.

But the man moved suddenly, slowly. He turned to see Ginny Weasley staring at him, a little boy by her side. So she had a kid. He stood and made his way over to her.

"Ginevra," Draco said with a slight smile, trying to the pain he felt as he looked upon the small child.

She stared in silence at him for what seemed like hours but could only have been minutes. "Draco...". She threw her arms around his neck and he could hear her crying.

He pushed her away gently and could see the tears in her eyes. "Why are you crying?"

Ginny held back her tears and smiled. "I thought- I thought I'd never see you again."

"What made you think that?" he asked her, a little puzzled.

"Nobody's seen you since the war ended."

"Oh, that. I left for a while. Went to America for a few years to, you know, let things blow over."

"You left? To go to America? But, why didn't you tell me?"

Draco shrugged. "Would it have mattered?" he asked, looking down at the boy beside her.

Ginny's eyes followed his own and she saw that he was staring at little Teddy beside her. She bent to pick Teddy up, pulling him up into a tight hug. "Draco," she said. "I'd like you to meet Teddy. Teddy Lupin."

Draco's eyes widened at the mention of the last name and his eyes went back to her deep brown eyes. "You mean... he isn't?"

"Mine? Merlin no."

"So you aren't... I mean, you and Potter didn't?"

"No, Draco." she said quietly.

Draco's heart pounded in his chest. He never could have imagined that she wasn't with Potter. When he left for America, he left thinking that she would be happier without him, safer without him. "Why?" he asked her.

Ginny looked away for a moment. "Harry wanted to get back together." she explained, looking back at him. "And we tried for a while." she continued. "But- but I couldn't do it. It wasn't Harry that I wanted, Draco. It hasn't been him for a while."

Draco stared at the young red hair woman. The woman he thought would never be his again. The woman who waited for him when he left her alone for years. "If I had known..."

Ginny smiled and kissed him.

The little boy beside them giggled and Draco looked down to see that his hair had suddenly become the same shade of platinum blonde as his.

"His hair..."

Ginny grinned. "He does that. Changing his appearance, I mean."

Draco smiled at the boy who now had his hair and Ginny's eyes. He could almost be their child. Their child. The words swirled in his head until they morphed into an idea that he couldn't stop from consuming him. "Ginevra," he said suddenly.

Ginny looked up at him. "Marry me, Ginevra."

"Marry you?"

"Yes. Marry me."

"Are you out of your mind Draco?" she asked him skeptically.

"No." Draco said firmly. "You were the first person to make me feel love. The only woman I have ever loved. The only person I want to be with. Marry me."

Ginny's eyes widened as she realized that he was not joking. "Yes." she said.

Draco pulled her into his arms and kissed her, putting all of the feelings he had left untouched for years into this one kiss. "I love you Ginevra."
