Only Because I Have To.

'Thank you everyone for joining us today.' Kingsley Shacklebolt said from the podium.
'Yea like we had a choice.' Ron snickered.
'When the war ended we had hoped the wizarding world's population would grow without us having to get involved but… We have pondered a solution and we have come up with Decree # 7283-62442. Where each wizard will get two wives.' That comment got whistles and woops from all of the men. 'Both wives will be required to have two children.' That had all of the women hissing. 'But we have decided that any woman already in a master's program have until after the masters acquisition before they need to fulfill the requirements. Then we also give allowances to the ladies that are in the quidditch league a four year pass,' that comment got cheers from the female quidditch players. 'And the ones that are already enrolled in the national tryout teams, will have one year to get picked up by a team.' Ginny cheered with this proclamation. 'We tried to keep all matches within your age range. You have six months to marry. And there is a weekly "date" night required for all couples, for all masters and team members, you will have a monthly "date" night requirement to maintain the bonds. 'So here are your matches.' as envelopes appeared on the tables. There were cheers and screams among the crowd.
'Well Mione who will be your sister wife?' Ron said as he opened his. 'What… Lavender and Millicent? I was supposed to be matched with you Mione.'
'Well, Ron, you always did run to Lavender when you were mad at me so…' Hermione quipped.
'I'm paired with Harry and... Oh… Mione, we are paired with…' Ginny started to cry.
'Draco.' Hermione finished Ginny's sentence. 'Well who did you get Harry?'
'Pansy and Daphne…' Harry looked up and around the room to find his matches.
'No, you're supposed to be mine.' Ginny snarled as she watched his fiancées walking over and spotting Draco walking their way too. 'Great he's on his way over.'
'Ladies, can we go somewhere and talk?' as he offered his hand to help Hermione out of her chair.
'Only because I have to.' Ginny snarled.
~o~
'Welcome Ms. Granger, Ms. Weasley. I'm glad you could come over today. Draco said your first dates went well. I was hoping we could start planning your wedding.' Narcissa spoke as she escorted them to the sunroom.
'Well I want a big and fancy do.' Ginny quipped.
'I'm happy with a small wedding to be truthful, just a few friends and what little family I have.' Hermione added. 'I went shopping the other day and found my dress.' as she pulled out a pictures.
'But Mione that dress is so plain.' Ginny drawled. 'You need something like this.' as she opened the magazine on her lap, to some poufy dress with lots of sparkles.
'May I?' as Narcissa reached for the photos. 'Oh my… that dress looks absolutely gorgeous on you.' she gushed. 'Accentuates your curves beautifully, the color is marvelous. Ginny what do you have in mind?'
'This one.' as she opened to her pick of dresses.
'Oh, that is quite large…' Hermione saw a small shudder in Narcissa's demeanor. 'What do you see Draco wearing?'
'I really don't care it's my day.' Ginny quipped.
'Well, I kind of saw him in a muggle tux, like in the picture.' as Narcissa looked again.
'Yes he would look handsome in that.' she smiled. 'What colors are you two thinking?'
'Well green unfortunately goes well with my complexion and as the gold goes well with Mione's.' Ginny grinned. 'I want a horse drawn carriage too.'
'Your parent's can afford that?' Narcissa asked.
'What?' Ginny sputtered. 'But Bill and Fleur's wedding was beautiful.'
'Paid for by the Delacour's no doubt as he is also very rich man.' Narcissa said with a grin. 'Well the bride's parents pay for the wedding and the groom's parents pay for the rehearsal dinner.' Narcissa spoke with the normal calm tone, getting a nod from Hermione.
'What! They can't afford that, and you know it.' Ginny got up and stormed over to the corner. Hermione followed. 'That's not fair, it's my wedding. Why can't they pay for it they can afford it. If I have to marry that ferret they need to pay for it. I'm planning for them to rebuilding the Burrow, Mione, bit by bit.'
'Ginny you can't do that, maybe ask for help but you can't just take money from them.'
'Why not? We will get access to the family vaults, they won't notice.' Ginny smiled mischievously. She turned and returned to the sofa, just as Draco entered the room.
'Ladies, how is the planning going? And as my gift to you two here is… ' as he pulled two small bags of coins out of his pocket. 'Some money for your dresses, fifty galleons each should help cover the cost.'
'Thank you Draco. But I don't need it I already have my dress.' Draco's eyebrow shot up. 'I have a trust fund from my parents to cover the costs of a wedding. So Ginny can have mine if you don't mind?'
'Um, yea if she needs it. You already have a dress?'
'Yes, I went out looking last week after the meeting and found one I liked.' Hermione blushed.
'Oh Draco, it is beautiful and looks gorgeous on her.' Narcissa added.
'Oh, ok, well I will let you three get back to it. I would like to take you two to dinner tonight, I'll pick you up at seven?' getting nods from the girls.
'Well, I guess I could pass on the carriage and a small family and friends sounds great.' Ginny said dejectedly. 'Can we go dress shopping tomorrow?'
'Yea we can go to the shop where mine is and see if they have something for you.'
"I know the cutest little shop in town. If they don't have anything you like.' Narcissa added.
~o~
'Ms. Granger, Ms. Weasley, Draco I was just wondering if you're planning to rent for now and then rent, buy or build when the time comes?' Lucius asked as he sat down in front of the fireplace. 'You have seen what we have here. We can join the rooms on either side of the main suite, if you want.'
'Well it would be nice if we would build a house.' Ginny smiled, as she grabbed a piece of paper and roughly drew floor plans.
'That will be very nice when you get your team salary.' Narcissa said with a drawl, looking at the large expansive plans.
'What? Can we not use the family vaults?' Ginny whined.
'Oh, no, we have set up a vault for the three of you. Your salaries will go into that and pay all of your bills.'
'But… Draco is rich.' Ginny's eyes welled up with tears.
'No, I'm rich and when I die Draco will get access to the family vaults, but until then you will get an allowance to help cover expenses. Hermione has her salary from the apothecary, you have a salary from the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, and will have your quidditch salary and Draco's from his job. So you will be fine money wise.'
'But...' Ginny cried.
'You can rent the east wing if you like until you get picked up by a team.' Narcissa spoke.
'That would be fine with me, oh look I need to go mum needs me to…' as Ginny got up and walked to the floo.
'What was that about?' Draco asked.
'Well, Ginny…' Hermione whispered.
'Sorry but I overheard her talking about wanting us to pay for her getting stuck with you, she plans to use the Malfoy vaults to pay for her parent home repairs.'
'I'm sorry, I didn't think she was that … She was hoping to get matched to Harry.' Hermione's eyes dropped to her lap.
'It's ok. Just so you know we are not holding you to the same rules. Your wand will have access to the main vault... So I'm thinking for now rent the east wing and if and when she settles down, we will be more than happy to financing your new house build in due time.' Lucius smiled.
~o~
"Wow, it's big and sparkly." Was all he could think of as he watched Ginny climb out of the horse drawn carriage and walk down the aisle to his side, he turned to see Hermione walk towards him. 'Wow! She looks gorgeous.'
'What was that Draco?' Ginny asked.
'Oh nothing, just mumbling.'
~o~
They apparated to the villa on the Caribbean island the Malfoy's owned.
'Well we are married now so let's get this over with.' Ginny said as they entered the main suite. 'Can you unzip me?' as she presented her back, she shimmied out of the dress.
'Ready.' as she bent over the bed. 'I just want to get this over with.'
'Ginny, your wedding night is supposed to be romantic.' Hermione admonished her.
'I didn't want this, I was told to do this, so get this over with.'
'Fine.' Draco knelt behind her and licked her quim to warm her up.
'I don't need that, just fuck me.' she mumbled a spell. 'I'm lubed up just do it.' she snarled.
'Ok.' as he thrusted into her without thought.
'There, I've been fucked.' as she pulled away and grabbed a robe and left the room.
'What was that?' Draco asked.
'Well, a temper tantrum Ginny style. I'm sorry, she …'
'Well, with that attitude she will never get special treatment. What are we supposed to do with this?' as he kicked her dress out of the way. 'Well with that out of the way, I have all night to show you a good time.'
'Um, lucky me.' Hermione turned her back to him. 'Zipper please?'
'Did I tell you how beautiful you looked today?' as he peppered kisses along her back at the newly exposed skin.
~o~
'You didn't tell me you were a virgin.' as he kissed her shoulder. 'Are you ok to go again?' as his morning wood poked her backside.
'I'm fine, might not be out running laps with you this afternoon but yes another round sounds good to me.' as she rolled over and straddled him. He bucked into her.
~o~
'Morning Ginny, you're up early.' Hermione spoke as they entered the kitchen.
'Yea, I got my morning run in and I was thinking about going out to the beach and sunbathing for the rest of the day.'
'Ginny, I was wondering if you wanted some private time in the bedroom later?'
'Nope, I only have to bed you once a month so I will see you next month.' as she got up to leave the room. Ginny spent most of the vacation on the beach studying the play books or running. Draco and Hermione spent time on the beach, in bed or curled up in front of the fireplace talking.
~o~
'Welcome back you three. We had them put in a full apartment suite, three connecting bed rooms, living room, and a full kitchen. We still want your company down here but when you want your privacy you have it.' Narcissa said.
'Thank you, Narcissa.' Hermione said as she poured her, Ginny and Draco a tea.
'So what are your plans?'
'Well I have practice, so I will back late tonight.' she said as she stuffed a slice of toast in her mouth and left.
'I'm not sure I can handle watching her eat like that.' Narcissa grimaced.
'Well then never invite her brother over for dinner, he's worse.' Draco smiled as he sipped his tea.
'How did the honeymoon go?' Narcissa asked.
'Well… we had a good time,' he wiggled his eye brows. 'Ginny spent most of her time studying the playbooks.' Draco quipped.
'Is she that bad?' Narcissa asked.
'She could have been better if she had wanted to be there. I was told to just do it ... and she will do it once a month as required.'
'Oh, I'm sorry, at least you and Hermione had a good time?'
'Oh yes we did.' Hermione grinned.
~o~
'Why have I been summoned by the ministry?' Hermione asked Draco.
'I don't know, I got one too. So you ready?' as they floo'd to the ministry.
'Thank you for joining me today.' said a small round ministry worker. 'We have looked over your … Um… "dates"' she blushed at the mention of the dates.
'Oh… we have been dating every week.' Hermione blushed too.
'No, Ginny and Draco?' she said
'Oh, yes. I have scheduled one for every week and she cancels them. I schedule one every month and she has failed to show up for them too.' as he pulled out his calendar and handed it over.
'What is this?' as she flipped thru it. 'Oh I see, what are these?' pointing to the initials.
'I remind her the morning of and if she comes up with some excuse to cancel I have witness to verify it.' as he taps on of the squares. It unfolds to read.
6pm-Wimbourne Wasps-dinner
Can't has practice* NM
'The NM is my mother Narcissa Malfoy. I have tried my best to accommodate her schedule. I even got all of the team captains on a schedule for the same days off for date night so nobody misses a practice.'
'Is this true Ms. Malfoy?'
'Yes, he tries but she just wants nothing to do with him.' Hermione felt bad that she was ratting out her best friend.
'Thank you, for your time.'
~o~
'How dare you turn me in for not showing up? Ginny screamed as she stormed into the library.
'Why pray tell are you screaming?' Lucius asked.
'Your ferret of a son turned me in for not sleeping with him and now I have to pay a 300 galleon fine.' As she threw the paper into Draco's lap.
'I did not turn you in they called me in too. I showed them the calendar of all of your cancelations. I told her that for the last six months I moved my schedule around to suit you and you still failed to show so this is all on you.' as he threw the paper back at her. 'And no I'm not paying your fine as well.'
'Ginny you only need to visit him once a month is my son that bad in bed you don't want to visit him?' Lucius asked.
'She wouldn't know what I can do in bed, the only time she has been there was for the honeymoon and all she did was bend over long enough to break the spell.' Draco snarled.
'Fine, let's go, and get this over with it looks like I only need to visit every six months.'
~o~
'Ginny I have a date planned for this weekend, we would be leaving this afternoon.'
'Sorry I have a game practice so I can't. Matter of fact I need to go, team meeting.' as she rose from the table.
'Ok well Hermione I know you really don't like quidditch but I have tickets to the Spanish Quidditch Cup Finals of you would like to join me?'
'Um, do I get a kiss out of this?'
'Maybe I could spare a kiss for you.' as Draco rose to give her a kiss.
~o~
'Push Mrs. Weasley, push.' the mediwitch said. 'Ok now push again… and here comes baby number two.' The nurses bustled around and got everyone cleaned up. Lucius, Narcissa and Draco watched as the babies were cleaned up.
'I'll be back in a little bit I need to get something taken care of at Gringotts.' Draco kissed Hermione and left.
~o~
'Griphook, can you tell me if I have been cuckolded?' Draco asked.
'I'm sorry to report but yes.'
'Can you tell me who?'
'Yes sir.' as he wrote a name down on a piece of paper.
'Well can you write up a bill for Ginny's care for the last nine months?'
'Yes sir, I can do that and do you wish for her to be removed from the family vaults?'
'Obviously.' Thank you Griphook she should be released from St Mungos tomorrow afternoon.
'And what about her personal vault?' Griphook asked.
'She has a personal vault? When was it opened?'
'Just after her marriage to you, half of her paycheck goes into it.'
~o~
'Miss Weasley, these are for you.' as he put some boxes on the foot of her bed.
'What's this?' as Molly looked thru the boxes.
'Her stuff and the babies furniture. I'm tired of you spending my money but not yours, yes I know you have a second account. There is no reason to spend a 200 galleons on a crib' as he pulled out a crib and resized it.
'Oh, that is…' Molly gasped at the sight of the very expensive crib.
'No baby needs this … too much.' Draco snarled.
'Draco why are you being so…' Ginny asked.
'I tried my hardest to accommodate you for the last three years. Yet that wasn't good enough for you.'
'But she said you… kept changing the dates.' Molly asked.
'No, I changed my schedule to suit her and she still canceled every time...' as he pulled out his calendar for Molly to see.
'How do you know it's not yours?' Molly asked.
'I have not had sex with her in the last two years, wedding night and then six months later after you had to pay the fine. You figured out how to get around it, by having sex elsewhere?'
'And all Malfoy first born are boys.' Lucius stepped forward. 'And all babies are some shade of blonde not red.' he huffed at Ginny.
'Ginny Weasley you have been cheating on him? How could you disgrace us like that?' Molly screeched.
'But... the date was horrid and I couldn't continue to be …'
'Yes, the first date was a bad choice but I wanted to show you what we could have. The second date if you had gone on it was a picnic basket on the Wimbourne Wasps pitch. Our one year anniversary trip was to go to a broom manufacture to get you a personal broom made for you, you canceled.' Ginny huffed at the news. 'Then I had made arrangements to have a full custom kit made for you at the outfitters.' She huffed again at the loss. 'And then back in March in had the owner's box for the Spanish cup finals, here again you canceled so I took Hermione and low and behold she comes up pregnant after being thoroughly fucked up against the front window.' As he rubbed Hermione's very large belly.
'Draco.' Hermione slapped his arm.
'What, she went elsewhere that weekend and forgot to use the contraception charm. She doesn't realize what I have done for her… I had the rules changed so she wouldn't miss any practices' as he pulled out a paper. Molly grabbed up the paper to read it.
'Oh, no games or practice on the 4th weekend of every month so the marriage law mandatory date night can be observed.' Molly read out.
'I paid for her to have the horse drawn carriage and not even thanked for it. I tried repeatedly to give her one on one time to train her for the seeker position that she wanted. She couldn't even give me the time of day.' He ran his hand thru his hair. 'I bought four quidditch teams and the stadium in Spain so we had something in common.' his voice rose in anger. 'I had planned to have her take over as manager, I was giving her something to do after she retired. Even after she stopped visiting my bed, at least she could have tried harder not to get pregnant by another man. Ginny I tried my best to do right by you and that wasn't enough so you are free to find your own way in life.' as he handed her papers.
'What you're divorcing me?'
'Yes and I've have a bill for the father for your living expense.' just as Susan, Tracy and Oliver Wood came in the room.
'Congratulations Ginny, Draco.' as he put flowers and balloons on the table.
'No congratulation to you, Oliver.' Draco handed him the papers. 'Enjoy your whore and babies.'
'What have you done?' Susan screeched as she read the paternity papers. 'Babies? And a bill for her expenses?'
'Yea, twin girls.' Draco pointed to the bassinets.
'Well as I'm no longer needed here. Have a better life Ginny.'
'What you are just leaving me here?'
'Well you can move back in with your parents or in with Oliver if his wives will let you. You're not my problem anymore.'
'You can live with him, you have disgraced the name of Weasley.' The normally quite man spoke from the back of the crowd.
'But Daddy?' Ginny whined.
'We have only just got back in good graces with the Malfoys and you go and cheat on him.' the normally quiet man, Arthur growled at his daughter. 'I'm so sorry Lucius, please forgive us, I did not raise my children to disgrace the family in this way.'
'Hey Draco can we borrow the owner's box in Spain?' George asked trying to lighten the mood.
'As long as you clean the boob marks off of the window.' He grinned at them.
'Of course we will.' Fred answered.
'I will send over the schedule so you can pick a day.'
'Oh, no.' as Hermione looked down to the puddle at her feet.
'Great, the stress you have caused has caused my wife to go into labor.' Draco snarled at Ginny.
'Oh dear come lie down over here.' as Molly guided Hermione over to the other bed in the room. 'Call for the healers.'
'Mum?'
'What you are supposed to be resting, Hermione needs me now.' cutting Ginny off.
~o~
'Look the first girl in centuries, Thank you Hermione.' as Lucius leaned in to kiss the top of her head.
'Have you two thought of a name yet?' Narcissa asked.
'Well, I was thinking Lucinda...' Hermione spoke.
'And I was thinking Jean, for Hermione's mum… So it would be Lucinda Jean Malfoy.' Draco added.
'Oh, Lucinda, is perfect.' as Lucius stood tall holding the baby. The baby was passed around for the family to hold.
'Look at my beautiful grandbaby, look at all of that blonde hair.' Molly gushed at the new baby in her arms. 'You will still come over to visit?'
'Of course we will, Scorpius loves coming over to nana and papaw's.' Draco spoke with a smile. 'Where else do I need to watch everything I eat in fear of sprouting feathers?' getting claps on the back from the twins.
'He Draco can we talk you into getting us tours at the broom and outfitters? We have the money to get our own stuff just need your clout to get in?' asked Fred.
'Yea, I can, just let all of this settle down and we can go?' getting grins from the twins
