Nothing belongs to me.
LXXX: Waiting
"Master," Tinky the house elf bowed respectfully, "a woman comes to see you, sir and I sends her to your study. She is waiting now, master."
Draco thanked the elf, wondering who it could possibly be.
Surely not Mother…The house elves knew better than to shunt her to his study. Astoria wouldn't be back until tomorrow…and there were wards to keep Pansy out.
"I'm sorry for any inconvenience." he called to the waiting visitor, shutting the office door behind him.
"That's quite all right."
Draco froze, his heart stopping. He turned around violently.
"Get out of my chair!" he snarled, glaring at the woman sitting behind his desk. "And out of my house!"
Ginny Weasley – well, he supposed she was still a Weasley – smiled at him sweetly. "No."
She looked the same as she had the day he last saw her, but, of course, now, she was wearing clothes.
"So – " he said, trying to get the image of a naked Ginny out of his mind. " – you disappear for five – "
" – Six."
" – six years and now you've come back."
She nodded, her smile never faltering.
"Did it ever occur to you that I might be happily married?"
Ginny's eyes narrowed. "Well, did it ever occur to you that maybe I'm not here to beg you to take me back?"
That wiped the satisfied smirk off his face.
"Well, then – " he recovered, "please enlighten me, Ginevra, on this." Draco waved a hand at the desk she now occupied. " Go on!"
Ginny sighed, breaking her gaze. "I've decided to return – "
"Obviously."
" – for good, and I'm staying at my parents house with – " She lifted her eyes up. " – your son." Ginny smiled weakly. "Our son," she breathed.
