Winning the Heart of An Almost Seven Year Old

Chapter 15: Home Away from Home

Ginny landed safely by the edge of their bed, as she was fuming with anger from head to toe. She quickly said a spell that gathered all of her belongings and personal items, that magically appeared in a suit case that magically shrunk, so it'd fit in any pocket.

Ginny then went down to , did the same thing for her belongings and personal items. Took her hand and apparated to her old flat where she once hid.

"Mummy, where are we?" asked.

hadn't called Ginny 'mummy' since before had come back into their lives.

"Hush sweetie, let me spruce my home away from home place, a little bit," Ginny said.

Ginny then quickly said, “Lumos,” and found her old couch from quite a long time ago.

"Here, sit on this while I clean up a bit," Ginny said.

"Ok," said, trying not to read between the lines of what was being said.

Ginny turned the light on a dim, so could sleep. She then waddled through her old home, going from door to door. She decided to work her way from the back and then to the front.

First room visited: her room; it had a girly atmosphere to it but yet a mature teenage like one. The walls were painted English Rose, a.k.a., raspberry color, in her opinion.

There was one bed in the room. This was one of the only bedrooms in her flat. Or at least for now, it was.

Ginny unpacked her things from the tiny suitcase and set things in place. She magically cleaned the curtains and bedding. She sat down on her bed.

Ginny rubbed her hand gently over her swollen belly that had her baby inside. Instantly, she thought of .

No, Ginny thought. I can’t think of him right now. I won’t.

Ginny got up and went to the next room. The guest room a.k.a. ’s new bedroom. She did the same thing with ’s tiny suitcase and set things in place, just as she had done with her’s. Ginny did the same with the bedding and the curtains.

She then pulled the bedding back, so could slip right in and go to sleep instantly.

Ginny went back to and said, “Sweetie? Wake up for me.”

gradually woke up as her mother spoke to her.

“Come with me,” Ginny said, taking her hand and leading her back to her room.

followed.

Ginny helped her into bed and under the covers and said, “ dreams sweetie.”

“Mummy?” said, as Ginny stopped at the door.

“Yes,” Ginny answered.

“Why are we here instead of at home with Daddy?” asked.

That was one question that Ginny couldn’t answer. Or at least, not yet.

“Go to sleep sweetie,” Ginny said, turning the light off. “ dreams my sweet.”

Ginny left the room.

Ginny finished cleaning the rest of the place that she called, ‘home away from home’. The study room, the kitchen and dining room, the living room… all of which she cleaned until at least 1 in the morning. She cleverly said a spell to make nobody find her, or this place while they were here, a blocking spell.

Ginny then went to her bedroom and got in bed and went to sleep.

After the next couple of days after Ginny had disappeared from , thought it was high time that she be home, with him.

He went to his other study, which had been kept secret, even from Ginny and went to his detector.

then said aloud, “Virginia Elizabeth Weasley Malfoy & Elizabeth Malfoy.”

The radar came blank.

Damn it! thought. She apparently cast a blocking spell on her, , and their surroundings.

“Ginny, darling…Where are you? You don’t need to be alone in your condition at this time. It’s too dangerous for you,” said aloud out to the silence around him, realizing that he had just made the biggest mistake of his life so far.

Ginny, please come back to me, thought. I love you. I’m sorry.
