The Dragon's Egg
Thats So raven
Chapter Six: Say It Ain't So
Draco and Ginny sat down on a park bench as Skylar played on the playground with other children. This had become a weekly activity. Once a week, usually Saturday, Ginny and Draco would take Skylar out together.
Skylar had grown accustomed to switching house every so often. Even though most children her age lived in one house with both parents, as far as Skylar was concerned she was getting the best of both worlds; living a young witch's life with her father and a semi Muggle life with her mother.
As for Draco and Ginny, they took the time to get to know each other, for Skylar's sake. Even though they spent a lot of time together, they refused to call what they had a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. Ginny didn't want to become something serious because, what if they broke up? Everything would be awkward and she wouldn't feel comfortable. "As if things aren't already awkward?" Draco had told her.
Draco on the other hand would often press the issue of them dating. Since she refused to entertain the idea of marriage, he supposed he would have to take the slow route. If only his parents could see him now, he was far from being considered a loyal Malfoy. He had a daughter and was not married to the wife, the number one rule in his father's book.
'To hell with Lucius,' Draco thought, Lucius was in Azkaban, where he belonged.
Draco was still getting used to dealing with a small child. After a few fights and tantrums, he and Skylar were getting on much better. Skylar found it funny when her father was irritable with her. She also adored it when he would do magic for her. As the weeks went by, Draco discovered more and more similarities between himself and his daughter, and they were steadily growing to love each other.
"Draco," Ginny said breaking his train of thought, "I've been thinking…"
"That's something new."
Ginny poked him in the side, "I'm being serious." She made sure he was paying attention before she continued, "Before you came along…I was happy with my life, but I always felt something was lacking in my and Skylar's life Draco turned to face her, "Skylar was lacking a father figure, and I was lacking someone there to help me when things were rough, and a shoulder to lean on."
Draco raised an eyebrow, "Just where are you going with this?"
Ginny ignored him and went on, "I thought about what you said…the whole dating issue…and I think…I think I'd like to give it a try."
Draco smirked, 'You always, always get what you want,' he thought to himself
When he didn't say anything Ginny spoke up, "You still want to do that, don't you?"
Draco nodded, "How does dinner next Friday sound?"
"Great, it's a date." Ginny smiled
~*~
Draco and Ginny continued to see each other, taking things slowly. They had been dating for four months now, and it couldn't have been better.
Tonight was a rather important night for Ginny, there was a banquet being held and all the owners of hotels or any successful Muggle business were invited. Ginny went, to make some useful contacts, Draco was supposed to be her date for the evening, but he might not be able to make it, he had things to do discuss with someone.
Ginny sat at a table with a lot of boring, stuck up rich people and it was annoying the hell out of her. She excused herself from the table, though no one was listening. She stood and went to get a drink. "Pepsi," she told the man behind the counter. She could have done with a bottle of butter beer, but this was a Muggle gathering. The man standing next to her turned to face her.
"Virginia Weasley?" Ginny saw the co-worker that she had gone out with, "How nice to see you." He smirked.
'Oh-My-God, what is he doing here!?' Ginny thought.
"I would like you to meet my fiancé." He said as he put his arm around the girl beside him, "Nirvana, this is Virginia."
"I know, we've met."
"Nice to see you again, Nirvana. Congratulations." Ginny said, "When did this happen?" Ginny moved her hand back and forth between the two.
"Bryant and I have been together for quite a while now. He proposed about a month ago. I was so excited!"
"You must have been!" Ginny said putting on a false smile, "Bryant, when did you start a business?"
"I own a restaurant, actually. We serve nothing but French Cuisine, Antonio Rassi, the owner of one of the best restaurants in this world, ate there once, and he said it was absolutely brilliant." Bryant said, obviously trying to make Ginny jealous.
"Bry, I heard he was going to be here tonight." Nirvana said.
"Yes, I think he is." Bryant said, not really paying attention to Nirvana, "Virginia, where is your date?"
"Um…he...is...um..." Bryant said.
"He's running a little late." Draco said coming up behind Ginny and placing a kiss on her cheek, "Sorry my meeting was longer than expected."
"Its quite alright, I was just talking to Bryant and Nirvana, they're engaged."
"Bryant? The Bryant something-or-other?" Draco asked.
Ginny nodded, "Nice to meet you um..."
Draco held out his hand, "Malfoy. Draco Malfoy."
Bryant shook his hand, "Draco, I left Skylar with mum tonight; you can pick her up tomorrow if you would like." Ginny told him.
"Skylar?" Bryant asked, "Is Skylar his daughter?"
"She's our daughter." Bryant nodded and looked down his nose as them in a superior way.
"You know the Antonio Rassi might be here today, I'm very close with him."
Draco smirked, "Without a doubt." At that precise moment Antonio Rassi entered the building, followed by security guards and paparazzi. "Anto!"
Antonio turned towards Draco and smiled, making his way over.
"Hi sir, I'm Bryant Johnson, one of the newes-"
"Draco! How nice to see you again! Who is this lovely lady?"
"This is my girlfriend, Virginia." Draco said.
Antonio picked up Ginny's left hand and kissed her knuckles, "You have wronged me, by not telling me about this magnificent beauty." Ginny blushed, "You must bring her by the manor some time. Good day to you both." Antonio gave a curt nod towards Draco and left.
"I didn't know you were that close with Antonio." Bryant said smiling brightly.
Draco smirked again, "Sucking up gets you no where." He took Ginny's hand and led her to the dance floor.
Ginny put one arm around Draco's neck and kept the other locked in his own, "Thank you Draco, I was so nervous."
"All in a days work." He said putting a hand on her hip.
"I can believe that, coming from a man who's life goal was to make everyone's life a living hell."
Draco grinned, "Just for that I'm not going to tell you how beautiful you look this evening."
Ginny blushed, she had on a forest green dress that hugged her skin tightly, and ended just above her knees. To top it off she wore her hair crimped, and a diamond necklace, which Draco had given to her.
They continued dancing along the floor when Draco took the opportunity it dip her, yet again. "Draco Malfoy! You dare to dip me? After you so bluntly told me that dipping is a sign of fore play?"
Draco smirked, "Body movements are my specialty."
Ginny smiled as she placed her hand on the back of Draco's neck and did her best at dipping. When she brought Draco back up his eyes were wide, "Well, I certainly did not expect that."
She leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on his lips, "How much longer do you want to stay here?"
She stopped moving and looked up into his eyes, "Let's go."
"What?"
"Let's Go!" She took his hand and they walked out of the building, to the most secluded spot she could find.
She squeezed his hand as they apperated to his manor. The instant they were in the manor, Ginny's lips were on Draco's. Ginny backed up to the couch and sat down. Draco leaned down and put his hands on the back of the chair.
"Bloody dress," Ginny said as she tried unzipping it.
'Maybe I shouldn't do this, it could ruin everything.'
"No..." Ginny stared at him puzzled as he rested his hands on her hips.
"What?"
"No, don't take your clothes off." He dropped his hands from her hips.
Ginny smirked, "You want to try it with this on? I've never done that. Maybe I should hike this up a little." Ginny started to lift up her dress.
"No...I mean don't take off your clothes or anything." He stood up and Ginny followed in suit, "Go home."
"What? Why?"
"Ginny its...I just...I can't explain it...Go home."
Ginny stared at him. She kissed him and he kissed her back, "Are you sure?"
"Yes..." Draco let go of her, "No...Go."
Ginny moved closer to him, "Yes I need to go home before I start saying really naughty things."
"Yes, naughty...now go home!" Draco put his hands on her hips again but pulled them back.
"You sure?"
"Ginny really just go."
Ginny gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and apperated back home.
She made her way towards her room and sighed, "Damn it!" She stamped her foot like a five year old wasn't getting their way.
She started walking off when she heard the familiar apperation pop. She turned and saw Draco.
"Draco!" She said as he took her hand and walked upstairs to her room.
Just before Draco laid her down on her bed, he unzipped her dress and slid it down her body, kissing her shoulders. He picked her up and slowly laid her down on the bed.
In one quick movement Ginny got on top of Draco and straddled his waist. She lowered her head and began to untie his tie with her teeth, keeping eye contact with him the entire time. He moved his hands from her waist to her bra strap and unclipped it. He slowly pulled the straps down her shoulder as she moved down to his trousers.
She bit down on the top and moved her head up to undo the button. With her hands she unzipped his zipper and pulled down his trousers.
Draco flipped over so he was on top of her. "Sorry, I just can't take this much longer."
Ginny brought his face down to hers and kissed him, until he pulled back and placed chaste kisses down her neck, causing her to purr.
"Oh Gods." He said as her hands went down to his boxers. Draco pulled off his boxers so fast, that if you blinked, you would have missed it. (A/N: thought why would you be watching them!? Bad…tsk tsk)
Draco rummaged through Ginny's nightstand drawer to find her wand. He found it and said a contraception spell. He held both of her hands in one of his hands and used the other to pull off her knickers.
He kissed her quickly and positioned himself on top of her. He stared into her eyes to make sure it was all right. He kissed her on the forehead and she wrapped her legs around his middle. Keeping eye contact with her he slowly entered. She let out a small yelp at the renewed feeling; after all it had been about four years.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes it's just been a while. Keep going."
"Are you sure?" Ginny nodded, Draco kissed her again and began to move faster. Ginny would move her hips with his. As he was thrusting in and out of her she dug her nails into his back and arched her back up towards him. After Draco too climaxed he had slowly laid his body over Ginny's, not putting his full body weight upon her and caught his breath.
He kissed her once more and rolled off of her. He pulled her back to his and whispered, "Night Gin,"
~*~
It was around 7:30 and Ginny had just put Skylar to bed. She brought a couple of blankets down on the couch because it could get really cold in the Family Room.
Draco walked out from the kitchen and asked, "Is Skylar asleep?"
"Yeah, I had a bit of trouble with her."
"Oh yes?" He put his hands on her waist and brought her closer to him.
"She said something about red eyes and blood?"
"Childhood nightmares. She'll be fine." Draco bent down to kiss her. Ginny kissed back but then the doorbell rang and he stepped back. "I still don't know why you're making me stay here."
"Its part of the whole dating thing, you have to spend time with my family and friends." Ginny said as she opened the door.
"Hey Gin, Malfoy." Ron said as he walked in and kissed her on the cheek, Luna walked in next, followed by Hermione and then Harry.
"Hello, have a seat, are you thirsty? We have loads to drink." Ginny closed the door.
"No thanks Ginny, we're fine."
"Well you might be fine but I'm great!" Hermione said.
"What's got into you?" Ginny asked as she sat on the couch by Draco. Hermione and Harry sat on the couch across from them and there was a couch to the right of Draco which held Ron and Luna.
"Well that's the news we have to tell you!" Hermione beamed.
"Well?" Luna asked impatiently, when Hermione didn't say anything.
"We're going to have a baby!" Hermione said and basically jumped out of the seat.
Ginny and Lavender stood to hug Hermione and tell her congratulations. Draco stood up and shook Harry's hand, as did Ron.
When everyone was back at there seats Hermione said patting her stomach, "I hope Harry Jr. plays quidditch. Do you think he's going to have a scar too?"
"Harry Jr.?" Harry asked, "How do you even know if it's a boy or not?"
"I don't know for sure, but I have a feeling about it."
"I don't want him to be named Harry if it's a boy."
"If it's a girl what about Harriet?" Hermione laughed at her own joke.
"I've always liked the name James, Remus, and Sirius."
"How sweet." Luna said.
"Err...right..." Harry said, not knowing how else to respond.
"All I know is, if it's a boy, keep him away from Skylar," Draco said
Ginny shoved Draco, "What?"
"You do realize that Skylar will be five years older than him?"
"It could happen."
"So Ron, Luna...any news from you two?" Ginny asked.
"Well...there is a possibility....but I've got to see a healer."
Draco stood up and made his way to the kitchen, "You sure about those drinks?"
"I'll have one." Ron said.
Draco walked into the kitchen and came back soon after with six wine glasses and a bottle of Elderflower wine. 'If father could see me now, serving wine.'
"Oh, no thanks, I want this baby to be as healthy as possible." Hermione said patting her still-flat-stomach again
Draco nodded and gave everyone one else glasses.
"Congratulations again, lets make a toast." Ron said as he put his glass in the air
"To a new child," Harry said putting his glass up in the air.
"To a Healthy Baby." Hermione held hers up.
"To all of our children being friends," Ginny put her glass up.
"To many more children to come," Ron put his glass up.
"To all of you," Lavender put her glass up in the air.
All eyes turned to Draco, "To…Skylar, Ginny and finally speaking with you all again."
Everyone's glasses touched and then they drank the contents.
"You know," Draco said after he finished his drink, "I never actually understood why they called it a toast; I mean...its glasses, with something to drink in it. Not actually toast..."
"One of the great wonders, 5 galleons says Dumbledore knows," Harry joked.
They continued talking about their jobs and other random things.
"It's freezing in here." Ginny picked up a blanket, lied back down on the couch, with her back to Draco's front. She put the blanket over the both of them. "Sorry, if you need a blanket they are right there." Ginny said pointing to the blankets on the back of a chair.
"Anyone have a funny joke?" Draco asked looking at Luna.
"Hey, my joke was funny; you just didn't…understand it."
"No, Luna, a pig jumping over a man, is not funny."
Luna 'humphed' in response.
They continued on with their conversation for a while longer. This including Draco quizzing Hermione on various famous Wizards. He must admit, she was a clever woman, though he never did voice this thought.
"Look at the time it's nearly 10:00, I didn't know we'd been here that long." Luna said looking
at her watch.
"We better get going." Harry stood up and helped Hermione off the couch, Luna and Ron got up and they all headed for the door.
"Thanks for having us over," Luna said kissing Ginny on the cheek, "It's been great seeing you again."
"You too."
"Yeah, see you soon Gin," Ron kissed her on the cheek and left the house, the others followed after him. As soon as Ginny had shut the door she was up against the wall next to it and Draco's lips were on hers. He had his hands placed on either side of her head and was keeping her against the wall with his body.
He trailed kisses down to her neck; finding just the right spot to suck on. He sucked on it and left her a nice red mark, "Hey, that won't go away with a simple spell you know!"
Draco grinned as Ginny stood up on her tiptoes and left him a mark on the right side of his neck, "At least you can put makeup over yours."
"You could too."
"I'm not gay, men are not supposed to wear make-up." Draco kissed her again and this time forced her mouth open with his tongue. He started to pull the straps off of Ginny's shoulders.
She pushed him off of her looking worried.
"What?" He asked, puzzled.
"I just have to check on Skylar! I got this odd-mothery vibe!" She turned around and ran up the stairs.
~*~
After Ginny left upstairs Draco put the wine glasses next to sink when the doorbell rang. He went to go answer it, "Well, um...hello Nirvana, what brings you by at this hour?"
"Oh, my phone lines went dead and I need to call and tell Bryant something very important."
"Of course, you can use Ginny's, come on in," Nirvana walked in and saw a telephone on the wall; she picked it up and dialed a number.
"Draco!"
Draco looked down the hall and saw Ginny running towards him, she ran into him and he wrapped his arms around her, "Gin, what's wrong?"
Nirvana said a couple words into the receiver and hung up the phone, "What's wrong!?"
Ginny had tears coming out of her eyes and she was breathing hard and uneven, "Skylar!"
Draco got a look of concern in his eyes, "What about Skylar? Where is she? Gin, talk to me! What is wrong?"
"Skylar's missing!"
************
Chapter…Six, or what? I don't really know anymore! I think seven, but six if you don't count the prologue! Anyway don't be angry with me for the TERRIBLY NICE Draco!
