Tale of A Forbidden Love Revealed
7. Trouble With the Malfoy Clan
She held tightly as she came back into her new home, their home.
“Ginny? Here, let me take before you squeeze her to death,” said.
But before could get in his hands, I turned away from him towards the nursery and went there.
followed me.
watched me as I entered the room and set down in her crib. Something was wrong, he could tell. Something just wasn’t right. And no, I really didn’t think it was at the moment either.
“Ginny? What’s wrong?” asked.
Before he knew it, she was overflowing with tears.
“, I went to the Burrow today,” I told him as I sobbed.
“Oh, I see. Did it go as planned?” asked.
“Oh, it went as planned. I accepted that they would freak when they found out. Well, one did, one didn’t. My brothers exploded at me with questions with unexplainable answers and my mum jumped to my rescue and flared her temper at them. Needless to say, I told them I’d be back with you next time. It’s not as bad as it was with Percy but then again it’s not the best it could be right now,” I said as Draco put his arms around me.
“Uh… Ginny? Don’t you think it might be wise if we don’t go back?” asked.
“Oh no, I’m not going to let them treat me like that. I’m not going to let them treat you like that. Even if I have to stay between you and my brothers the whole time we’re there. No point in arguing with me, you won’t win the argument. At least they know about us and our daughter and what about your parents? Do they even know you have a finance’, let alone a daughter?” I asked staring cold into his eyes.
Right now was not a time to make me madder than I already was. Even a stranger from a distance could tell that just by looking at my flaming red hair and a look on my face to scare anybody off the edge of the earth. No, this would not be a good thing to mess with me in my state of being.
wouldn’t look at me for a moment, probably hoping that when he did look back, the scary evil glare on my face and my flaming red head temper of mine would be gone.
I took his hand and led him out of the nursery and into the study.
“, look at me and answer me!” I said demanding an answer.
Oh, great, thought, the temper is flarin’ now.
still didn’t answer me.
“!” I yelled with no patience at all.
What in the world is taking him so long to answer me? I thought. What I wouldn’t do for one of his kisses about right now, if only he’d answer me!
“No, Ginny I haven’t. I’m sorry. When do you want to go?” asked with his head down.
“How about tonight?” I asked, cooling down a bit.
“Sure that’s fine,” said.
I stepped closer to him.
I tilted his face up and then kissed him.
Ok, now I can loose myself in his kisses. I thought. This could be dangerous.
Later that night, I was getting dinner ready when suddenly came up to me from out of no where and kissed me gently, but yet passionately.
“How about we go to your parent’s house later?” I asked, hinting at the obvious. Cause, I want you right now. I thought.
“Sure, whatever you wish my fair lady,” said as he began kissing me again.
She always does loose herself when I kiss her. That’s not so bad, but I really just want her. thought.
I then deepened the kiss.
Need to get out of kitchen, I thought.
I took a hold of his hand and apparated to my bedroom.
We had separate bedrooms until we would get married, but we both ended up in the other’s bedroom before dawn came the next morning.
“Sneaky, little thing aren’t you? Didn’t want to stay in the kitchen did you?” asked with a grin on his face.
“You know it,” I said as I pulled him into a kiss.
This went on for a couple of minutes until we heard ’s cries.
“I’ll go get her,” said.
kissed my forehead and then left the room.
We still need to go visit his parents, I thought. I really didn’t want to see them at all but for our daughter’s sake, I needed to.
then came in with in his arms, fussy as ever. I noticed she was just fussy because of the way he held her. handed her over to me.
“You do realize that we should go ahead and go to your parent’s, right? I mean I know they don’t like me but still they need to know about at least,” I said. “They have a right to know that they have a new heir.”
“I know. We can still go tonight if you want,” said.
“Ok,” I said. “?”
“Hmm?” asked.
“Do you smell something burning?” I asked, thinking that something didn’t seem quite right. “Here take . I’ll be right back.”
I handed to then left the room and went to the kitchen.

About five minutes later, heard a scream.
Ginny! thought.
went running into the kitchen with in his arms. He looked to see Ginny on the floor knocked out and his mother and father looking straight at him.
Lucius had escaped from the prison of Azkaban, just like Sirius had done in their fifth year. And to this day, his appearance had been kept secret.
“Nice to see you, son,” Lucius said, “and who might that be in your arms?”
“What did you do to Ginny?” asked as he went over to Ginny’s body on the floor.
Ginny was unconscious, but still alive.
“Oh, I took care of her. What were you doing with some piece of filth in your house ?” Lucius asked.
“Get out,” said, “mother you can stay if you wish.”
“What?” Lucius asked.
“You heard me. Get out of my house. We were going to come visit you two later tonight for you to meet your new granddaughter but now I see that she will never step foot in that house as long as you live. Mother will be the only one who’ll be allowed to see her. Now get out!” yelled at his father, Lucius.
“Very well,” Lucius said, “nice knowing you son. Let’s go Narcissa.”
“I’ll be along soon. You go ahead. I want to have a chat with alone,” Narcissa answered.
Lucius snarled at his wife’s words and apparated out.
“Mum, do you realize you just made him madder than who knows what?” asked.
“Yes, ,” Narcissa said, “but I made a promise to her mother when we were younger and I’m not going to break that promise. Even if your father depises the Weasleys, that doesn’t mean that I do.”
“What was that promise? Could you hold while I carry her to the bedroom?” asked.
“Sure,” Narcissa said as she received into her arms.
then carried Ginny into their bedroom, Narcissa followed him.
“Mum, what did father do to her?” asked.
“Oh, that,” Narcissa said.
looked at her and asked, “What do you mean by ‘that’?”
She didn’t answer him for a while.
“Mum? Please answer me?” asked.
“, he…”
“What did he do? Mum? What did he do to my finance’?” asked.
“Finance’?” Narcissa asked.
“Yes, finance’. What did he do?” asked again.
“When is the wedding?” Narcissa asked.
“In a couple of weeks... But there won’t be any wedding if I don’t know what father did to her!” said.
“Oh , relax. He only knocked her out after she insulted him after he insulted her. She has quite a temper really. I guess that comes from being born to two parents with red hair... Beautiful hair, it is… just the Weasley temper is threat to anyone if their in the path of it,” Narcissa finally answered him.
“So, I just have to wait until she wakes up?” asked.
“Yes. What did she have going in the kitchen?” Narcissa asked.
“I don’t know. She went in there because she smelled something burning,” said.
“Oh, that’s why it smelled funny in there. Well, you just let me fix you three dinner,” Narcissa said.
“Mother you can’t cook,” said.
“! You can not say that. You have never had my cooking. Or at least that you remember. Perhaps you have forgotten my own heritage that I come from, the Blacks’. I will not dishonor my own family name by just not cooking when my son tells me that I cannot cook. I’ll show you can’t cook,” Narcissa said.
“Yes Mother,” said.
Narcissa then left alone in the room with Ginny unconscious and asleep in his arms.
About three hours later, Ginny finally became aware of her surroundings. She looked up to see not , but ’s mother.
“Easy Ginny. You’re safe. Don’t panic just because I’m here. I insisted that get some sleep while I watched you. No worries needed, Lucius won’t get near you again,” Narcissa said.
“How long have I been out?” I asked.
“For a couple of hours, maybe 4 or 5 give a take or so. So your ’s finance’?” Narcissa asked.
“Yes I am. I do love him. I only regret leaving him while I was pregnant with . I was so scared and felt all alone. I was afraid of what his reaction would be, what my brothers’ reactions were, and most of all, my mother’s reactions; which they didn’t go as well. My brothers ended up giving me questions that were all so negative that Mum had to rescue me. She sure has the Weasley temper. says I have it the worst. I wouldn’t disagree with him,” Ginny said.
“Ginny, how did your father react to this, union?” Narcissa asked.
I stared in silence. I missed my father. I wondered what he would have done or even said to me and being together, let alone having a child together.
“Ginny?” Narcissa said.
“My father is dead,” I said softly and in a low voice as I looked away.
My eyes watered just at the thought of my own father’s last words. He had meant for them to keep me and Mum safe. I felt the tears coming on but yet I wasn’t crying yet.
“He died saving and from Voldemort. His last words were, ‘Take care of our sweet fiery angels,” I added, then… a tear strolled down my cheek.
“Oh dear, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you cry,” Narcissa said.
“It’s ok, that’s why I never look back to past, especially to that. If at all possible,” I said.
“Dear, that’s not really healthy for you. You need to grieve for him and then move on,” Narcissa said.
I didn’t answer to that. I figured that I didn’t want to look back on the past. I didn’t want to open up my hurtful past. Losing my own father, was …. Painful, hurtful… I couldn’t stand that subject… death… I hated it. It took every body away without a thought.
“My mother accepted it with open arms. My brothers’, was the only one that accepted it. Or at least that I know of. I told them before I left with that I’d be back. And I’d be back with . I told them that our little dispute wasn’t over yet. They didn’t like it but they’ll come around, I hope at least,” I continued, ignoring her last comment to me.
“Um, Ginny…I know this may sound a bit awkward but would you mind if we went to see your mum right now?” Narcissa asked.
“Uh… ok,” I said. “What about and ?”
“Oh, don’t worry about them. can take care of her,” Narcissa said. “It’s high time that your mother and I explain talk about our promise we made to each other.”
I looked at her in shock.
Narcissa, noticing this said, “Ok, where is the nearest floo network in this house?”
“In the living room, it’s by the kitchen,” I said, coming back to my sanity of saneness.
Narcissa then took my hand and led me out of the room.
I stopped before we went through the door and said, “Wait, I’m sorry but if does wake up and so does . Then I’ll need with me in case she gets hungry.”
Narcissa nodded and I then went over to , who had in his arms asleep as well as him, fast asleep. I gently pulled to me as began to stir, but didn’t wake up.
“Don’t worry, he’s a sound sleeper. Not even I could wake him up if I needed to,” Narcissa said.
I nodded and followed Narcissa to the fireplace.
“Dear, how about you go first. It might shock them if I went first,” Narcissa said.
“Right, ok. Here goes: The Burrow!” I said as I took a pinch of floo powder and threw it into the fire as I spoke.
