1. Stay

Ginevra Malfoy apparated into her bedroom, tears flowing down her cheeks. She and Draco had just gotten into a huge
fight, and Ginny had decided it was the last straw. She couldn't believe what he had said to her.

***flashback***

"Are you coming home soon, Draco?" Ginny asked, following him about his office.

"I'll be home later Ginny. I still have a lot to do. I'm sorry." Draco said through clenched teeth, very annoyed. She
had been showing up at his work place every day this week, bothering him about dinner.

"This is the fifth time this week!" Ginny yelled. Throwing the papers he held in his hand on the floor, Draco spun on
his heel so his was facing his wife, his face red with anger.

"Listen Ginny, I have to work to pay for all the expenses you build up. You don't want me to work late, stop buying
everything in sight!" Draco bellowed.
Ginny's lip quivered, a small tear escaping her eye.

"I'll tell you what Draco, I'll do you one better. Goodbye." Ginny said quietly, before apparating away. An overwhelming
feeling of dread set upon Draco as he watched Ginny aparate out of his office.

***end flashback***

"If I'm such a nuisance, and force him to work so much then I'll leave." Ginny decided, opening her closet door. With a
wave of her wand her trunk flew out and her cloths started packing themselves. Just as she was about to levitate her
trunk to the fireplace and floo to the burrow, she heard a small 'pop' and a second later a strong pair of arms wrapped
around her.

"Don't leave." Draco whispered into her ear.

"Do I really have a reason to stay? It's obvious I'm just a nuisance." Ginny said quietly.

"Well, there's me... That's a start... Isn't it? And you're not a nuisance. I was just stressed, I didn't mean it Gin."

"Oh gods, I'm so sorry Draco. I've just really missed you these past weeks." Ginny sobbed, turning around in his arms.

"I know Gin, and I'll try to be home more. Things are really hectic right now. Come on, let's go eat dinner." Draco
said, kissing Ginny's forehead. Ginny just nodded, burying her head in his chest, breathing in deeply his scent.

"You know, I'm really not all that hungry anymore.....for food." Ginny said smiling at him cheekily. Draco leaned in and
kissed her, picking her up in his arms and carrying her to their bed. He dropped her on the bed, but before joining her,
he turned and flicked his wand, causing all of her cloths to arrange themselves back in her closet once more.
