1. Prologue: The Party
----------------------

**Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except the plot and other things that you don’t recognize!**

**The Dragon’s Egg**

Virginia Weasley checked to make sure she looked fine. She was getting ready to go to a
Christmas party, though her parents had no clue. It was 10:30 and the party started at 11:00, a few
last-minute touches and she’d be read to go!


She had on a strapless black dress that came to rest just above her knees. Her hair was half in
a pony tail and half down. She left to curly strands hanging in the front, to frame her face.


She sighed, got up from her chair and grabbed her father’s car keys off of her dresser. Just in
case her parents came into her room, she left a note saying a friend called her over because there
were in some sort of dilemma. She hated lying, but really wanted to go to this party.


On her way out of her room she turned off the lights. Quickly and quietly, she walked down the
stairs, careful not to wake anyone.


She got in her car and took out the napkin she wrote the address on. "Lets just hope I
don't get lost," she said to herself, as she put the car into reverse. Ginny had been at
first quite hesitant about taking her father’s replacement car, but after all, hadn’t her brother
got to drive the first one? Not only that, but she didn’t think her hair could withstand the wind
in it. She certainly did not want to arrive at a party she’s been dying to go to with a wrinkled
dress and messed up hair. No, this was a night for enchanting good looks and enchantingly good
looking boys. Having the one, she slid the gear shift into drive to go off searching for the
other.


~*~



When Ginny finally got to the house it was only 11:15, the perfect time. Neither too early or
too late. She knocked on the door and waited for it to be answered. Lavender Brown swung the door
open and said "Hey Gin! Glad you could make it. Come in, drinks are over there, don’t mess up
any of the furniture and be careful what doors you open! Have fun!"


She left Ginny all by herself. Ginny looked around, crazy, horny teenagers dancing on the floor
and getting drunk. "This will be fun," Ginny muttered sarcastically, again having doubts
about her most recent decision.


She slowly walked over to the bar that was set up in the house and sat on a stool. "Hay,
what can I get for you?" the man asked.


"I don't know. Never really had alcohol before. What do you suggest?"


"Whatever you get, mix it with some Coke and it will taste good," he growled at her,
sending tiny shivers down Ginny’s spine, not only in anticipation of her drink of adulthood, but
the ear splitting intonation of his voice.


"Oh, okay. Well I'll have some of the...Bacardi? And Coke" Ginny said unsure what
coke and Bacardi were. After all, her father’s Muggle love did not spread as far as alcoholic
beverages.


She found out that she liked it and began to order drink after drink, unaware of the price she
may pay later.


Eight glasses and two shots later Ginny was a little...tipsy. She looked at the bartender and
asked, "I don't have to *Hiccup* pay for any of this do I?"


"No. all on the Browns," he poured her another glass. The bartender’s voice no longer
bothered Ginny, so she wobbly glanced to her left and saw someone else walking over to her.


"Do I know you from somewhere?" she asked as she took another drink from her cup
(Luckily the cup stifled most of her most recent hiccup).


"Yes Weasley, you do," he sat down and ordered some Odgen’s Old Fire Whiskey.


"Malfoy?" Ginny asked. He nodded, "*Helloooooooo* Malfoy."


Draco looked over at Ginny, "I think you had too much to drink Weasley"


"Has anyone ever told you, you have really nice eyes?"


"Erm...no." He looked around a bit uncomfortably. Ginny was looking at her cup and
didn’t notice his uncharacteristic display of emotion.


"Well then, you have really nice eyes," Ginny grinned at him with her eyes sliding in
and out of focus that it was a wonder she could see at all.


"You need to stop drinking," Draco said, turning around.


Ginny heard a song come on, "Oh my God. I love this song! Dance with me, will
you?"


Draco just stared at her, "Excuse me?" Ginny grabbed Draco's hand and led him to
the dance floor. She put his hands on her hips and started to dance.


"Come on you over grown ferret! Dance!" Ginny said moving faster, grinding her hips
against Draco.


Draco realized she smelled extremely good; strawberries. He wasn't going to get her to stop
anytime soon, so he just danced with her, figuring it was all they would do.


They were dancing to a song by some Muggle singer named Ginuwine. Draco actually liked the song,
the beat was very strange, and the lyrics were even weirder.



*I'm just a bachelor, I'm looking for a partner, Someone who knows how to ride,
Without even falling off, Gotta be compatible, Takes me to my limits, Girl when I break you
off

I promise that you won't want to get off

If your horny lets do it, Ride it my pony, My saddle's waiting, Come and jump on it

If your horny lets do it, Ride it my pony, My saddles waiting, Come and jump on it

Sitting here flossing, Peepin' your steelo, Just once if I have the chance, The things I would
do to you, You and your body, Every single portion, Send chills up and down your spine, Juices
flowing down your thigh .

If your horny lets do it, Ride it my pony, My saddle's waiting, Come and jump on it

If your horny lets do it, Ride it my pony, My saddles waiting, Come and jump on it.

If we're gonna get nasty baby, First we'll show and tell, 'Till I reach your pony tail,
oh

Lurk all over and through you baby, Until we reach the stream, You'll be on my jockey team
Oh.

If your horny lets do it, Ride it my pony, my saddles waiting, Come and jump on it.*


Ginny looked up at Draco and saw him smiling at her. She placed her head on his shoulder as they
moved to the music. Draco couldn't take it anymore he needed some way to get her off of him.
She was doing things to him, that he didn't want to happen on the middle of a dance floor. He
especially didn’t want her to realize it, as she soon would with her constant grinding and close
contact.


As if his prayers were answered, everyone was asked to clear off the floor, because a group of
girls were going to be doing some sort of dance.


Draco walked Ginny back over to the bar and they sat down on stools. Draco ordered a drink, and
drank it watching Ginny the whole time. She looked even better than the last time he had seen
her.


He must admit, he did have a **VERY** small liking for her, when he was at Hogwarts. But he
had graduated and she was still in her seventh year.


The lights dimmed and music started playing. The girls started dancing but Draco was too busy
watching Ginny. Why did he have the feeling that something was slipped into his drink?

Ginny closed her eyes and then opened them. She looked at Draco and said, "I want
you."


He was a little shocked but said, "I think all that alcohol is starting to get to your
head."


She did the puppy dog eyes, "Don’t make me do something that you don't want me
to!" She began walking her fingers up from his knee, closer to his belt.

"Oh yeah?" Draco smirked, "What might that be?" He eased back in the chair
to welcome her touch, and increase the time her fingers caressed his leg.


Ginny got off her stool and sat on his lap, she moved around to the music until Draco jumped out
of the seat. He grabbed her hand and pulled her upstairs in search of a room.

They went up two flights of stairs and finally found an empty room. Draco walked in and slowly
closed the door. He walked over to Ginny and smashed his lips onto hers. He backed Ginny up onto
the bed and lowered her onto it.



He got off her just to take off his shoes while Ginny did the same. Ginny lay back in the bed and
Draco got on top of her. They kissed again, but this time with more passion. Draco placed his hands
on either side of her head. He pushed himself up and looked down at her, his eyes searching her
face for the answer to why he felt this way towards her.


Ginny grinned, put her hands around his neck and brought him closer. As they kissed Draco tried
to get her dress off, but it proved to be a difficult task.

She tried to sit up a bit but with Draco's weight on her, it was hard. She got up just enough
for him to pull the zipper down. Draco took his mouth off hers again, so he could get his shirt
off.

He pulled Ginny's dress all the way down, slowly revealing and staring at her marvelous body.
He looked at Ginny's face and saw her smiling, and he could not stop himself, he smirked.


Once again, Ginny pulled his face down to hers and started to unbuckle his belt and pulled his
pants down. Next she reached for her boxers but Draco moved back.


"What?" Ginny asked breathing heavily.


"Are you sure?" Draco asked, his concern only confirming in Ginny’s heart what her
bodied already desired. She nodded, pulled him back onto her and she slowly pulled his boxers
off.


Ginny pressed Draco's head closer to hers as she felt his full body weight against her and
her black knickers *(A/N: Made out of lace from Victoria Secret)* being pulled off.


Draco pulled his mouth off of hers and looked. "Are you really sure?"


Ginny wrapped her legs around his waist as her answer. Draco let out a soft, sort of demonic
growl before he gave in to what they both had wanted for so long, but neither dared to admit
it.


Ginny let out a soft cry of pain, Draco stopped, and looked at her, "Are you
alright?"


She locked eyes with him and slowly nodded as a small tear slid down her face. Draco began
moving as slowly in and out of her.


Ginny dug her nails into his back and slowly began to move away. Draco kissed up and down her
neck and she relaxed.


When Ginny screamed out his name, Draco new she had reached her climax. She arched up toward him
and Draco released his seed. He pulled himself out of her, put his boxers back on and lay back down
in the bed.


Ginny had slowly drifted off to sleep, but Draco was still awake he turned to look at her and
began playing with her hair.


"I know you can't hear me right now, I just...don't want you to think I took
advantage of you because truly, I didn't. You and I both wanted it and don't you try to
deny it," Draco sighed at how stupid he was being, he turned over, put an arm around Ginny and
fell asleep.

~*~



The next morning when Draco woke up he expected to see Ginny, but the bed was empty. All he saw
was a note on the pillow; he opened it up and read it.



*Draco,

*

*You don't know me too well do you? I am not going to try and deny that I wanted it,
because I was the one who said it...was I not? I have to admit I never would have actually said it
to you if it wasn't for the eight glasses and two shots of Bacardi.*



Draco smiled as he read the note.



*Sorry I could not wake up with you, but I had to go. I'm not sure how this makes things
between us. I don't want to sound extremely rude but I'm going to ask you not to contact
me, if I'm ready to see you again, I will owl you.

*Virginia Weasley.

2. Chapter One: Meeting Again

**The Dragon’s Egg**

**That’s So Raven**

**Chapter One: Meeting Again**


**Three Years Later:**



Ginny sat in her office, looking over a new deal that was being offered when there was a knock
on the door, “Come in.”

The door opened and Claire stepped in, “Ms. Weasley, there is a guest who is requesting to see
the manager.”

Ginny stood up, “What’s the problem now? It wasn’t Skylar was it?”

A tiny girl with fiery red hair stepped from behind Claire, “I didn’t mean to mummy,
honest!”

Ginny opened her desk drawer and took out the key that opened every room door, “What room was
it?”

“Room 205, Ma’am.”

“What did she do?”

“Somehow, she got into the room and apparently scared the man half to death, or so he claims,
and he says we gave him dirty towels! He must be out of his mind!”

Ginny sighed and made her way towards the door, “Skylar, your coming too.” Ginny grabbed her
daughters hand and left her office, closing the door on her way out. They walked out of the room,
through the staff’s lunchroom, and out from behind the clerk desk. “Thank you Claire, would you
mind staying and watching over the desk? I don’t know where Chet is.”

Claire nodded, “I don’t mind.”

Ginny thanked Claire again before walking into the back of the hotel and into the laundry room.
She took out clean, fresh towels and folded them neatly. She stacked them on top of each other,
just barely blocking all of her vision. “Sky, lead the way.” Ginny moved her head to the side to
step up all the steps, “Gah, I need to put a lift in here.” When they reached the door Ginny looked
down at Skylar, who was behind her, “Now Skylar, you are going to apologize to this man, alright?”
Skylar nodded sweetly, “Knock on the door.”

Skylar knocked on the door and stood at her mother’s side. The door opened and there stood in a
man in black dress pants, a white button up shirt, with the sleeves rolled up and buttons undone,
and his hair was pointing in all different directions.

“I’m sorry for the inconvenience, sir. There must have been a mix up or something.” The man
stepped to the side and let Ginny enter the room. “Skylar, you know what you’re supposed to do.”
Ginny said as she walked into the bathroom, not looking at the man.

She heard Skylar from in the bathroom say, “I’m sowee for commin in your woom, wiff out asking.”
She was using her cute baby voice that got her out of anything.

The man stared down at the little girl before smiling, “It’s alright.” He frowned for a minute,
looking at her; there was something familiar about her…he just couldn’t point it out!

Ginny walked back towards the man whose back was facing the door, “Again, I’m sorry about all of
this. I really don’t know how she got into your room.”

The man turned around and smirked, “It’s quite alright, *Virginia*.”

Ginny’s head snapped up at the sound of his voice, “What are you doing here, *Malfoy*?”

“I had a business meeting in London, and I had to stay at a hotel. What are *you* doing
here.”

Ginny stood up straight, “I *own* this place.”

Draco snorted, “That’ll be the day.”

Ginny glared at him, “I refuse to argue with an insufferable git in front of my daughter! Come
on Skylar, let’s go.” Ginny picked up Skylar and went back down stairs into her office.

‘*Holy Cricket!* *What in the bloody hell is he doing here!?*’ Ginny asked
herself.

“Mummy, that man looks familiar.”

Ginny looked down at Skylar, “Hmm, he does doesn’t he?” Ginny kissed Skylar on the forehead,
*‘Are you **ever** going to tell her?’*

There was another knock on the door, “I’m sorry to bother you again, Ms. Weasley.” Ginny opened
the door, “Would you mind if I took a break?”

“Not at all, who’s watching over the desk?”

The girl bit her bottom lip, “Chet hasn’t come back yet…”

Ginny sighed, “Alright, but could you be back in ten minutes? I need to take Skylar home.”

Claire nodded her head, “I won’t be a minute longer!” She spun around and walked out of the
room.

“Skylar, we’re going out to the desk, alright?” Skylar nodded and took off from Ginny’s office
and behind the desk. Which wasn’t really a desk. More of a counter, made of marble with three
sides. With a lot of room for Skylar to play.

Ginny sat down in the chair and Skylar spun around in the middle. “Be careful, Skylar.”

“I will, mum.”

Ginny turned back around to see Draco smirking down at her, “Can I help you with something.”

Draco nodded, “I came to check out of this room.” Draco sat the key on the counter top.

“Thank you.” Ginny said through gritted teeth. When Draco didn’t leave she said, “You can go
now.” Ginny’s eye’s widened when there was a lot of jingling going on. “No Skylar, don’t shake
that!”

Skylar was shaking the key rack; she stopped suddenly and turned around, “Hullo!” She said to
Draco.

“Cute little girl, who’s daughter is she?”

“Mine.” Ginny said as she saw Claire walking back towards them, “It’s time to go, Sky. Run and
get your bag out of my room, and grab the car keys.” Skylar took off into Ginny’s room.

“Must be Potter’s.” Draco muttered, “So, what have you been doing all these years?”

“It’s only been three years, and what I have been doing should be pretty obvious.” Skylar came
back out of the room and handed Ginny the keys and her bag. Ginny put the bag on her shoulder and
walked out from behind the counter, holding Skylar.

“Ms. Weasley, you almost forgot your briefcase!”

Ginny took the suitcase, “Thank you Claire, do try to find Chet, page him?”

Claire nodded and went to the desk to use the intercom.

“You look like you’re having some trouble.”

“I’m *fine*.”

“I could hold her for you.” Ginny shook her head, stubbornly, even though she did need the help.
“Would you like me to carry you, Skylar?”

Skylar turned around to look at the man and smiled, “Yes, please.”

Draco took Skylar out of Ginny’s arms and before she could protest, began walking out of the
Hotel.

They walked to the parking lot and to Ginny’s car.

“What charity foundation gave you this?”

Ginny glared at him, “I bought it myself.” She opened the boot to her white BMW, for the past
few years, Ginny had taken to living as a Muggle.

“You can drive one of these?”

Ginny nodded and put her suitcase and Skylar’s bag into the boot, “Seriously Draco, what do you
want?”

“You.”

“Me?” Ginny asked, shocked.

“No, the other red head woman standing behind you.” Draco drawled, “Yes you!”

“But…why?”

“Why? I thought it would be self explanatory.”

“It’s not.”

“Mummy! I’m tired.” Skylar complained.

“I have to take her home…”

“You know, I waited for your owl.” Draco said, surprising Ginny.

“You don’t seem like the type to wait for an owl from me.”

Draco smirked, “I know…but there’s something about you, that made me want to see you again…and
I’m determined to find out what it is. But it seems that I don’t have a chance with you.”

“Why not?” Ginny arched an eyebrow.

“You have a daughter, there must be someone else.”

Ginny closed the trunk, “Get in, I want to show you something.”

Draco walked to the passengers’ side of the car and got in. “Where have you been all of these
years?” Draco asked once she had started driving.

“Well…I finished school and after I graduated, I had this little bundle of joy.” Ginny said
looking over at the sleeping Skylar, cuddled up to Draco’s chest.

Ginny felt a pang in her heart, was it, guilt? *No! Don’t be ridiculous!*

The rest of the car ride was silent, aside from the light pitter patter of rain on the window,
and the occasional movement of the windshields.


Ginny parked the car in the drive way, and they made a run for the house.


When Draco was inside he put Skylar down on the sofa. He put both of his hands in his hair and
made it real messy.

"Hold on, I'll get some towels," Ginny said walking out of the living room.

When she came back, she had two towels, she handed one to Draco.

"So, what did you want to show me?" Draco sat down on the sofa and played with Skylar’s
hair.

A small tear went down Ginny's face, but she covered it up by wiping her face with the
towel.

Draco turned to look at her. She had on a small pink shirt with dark blue jeans. She still looked
pretty, just like on the night of the party.



"Come here," Ginny said to Draco. He picked up Skylar and they started walking down
the hall. Ginny opened a door and they went into the room. The walls were painted pink and there
were toys put up neatly around the room. There was a twin sized bed in the middle of the room with
pink sheets.

Draco looked around the room, confused as to why Ginny brought him here. "Why am I in
here?" Draco asked.

Ginny took Skylar out of his arms and put her under the covers on the bed. She kissed her forehead
and looked back at Draco. She sighed not knowing how to tell him.


Draco looked at Skylars nightstand. He saw a picture of Ginny, what he saw next to it surprised
him.

"Why is there a picture of me in here?" he asked.

Ginny took in a big breath, slowly let it out and said, "She wanted a picture of her
father."

That’s the Second Chapter! I hope you all liked it! I changed it around a bit from the normal
version, but I hope it’s okay. And if things are confusing, it will be explained later! No doubt!
And I’m also trying to work on getting the British Slang correct! I used boot, instead of trunk! Go
me! Thanks for reading!

3. Chapter Two: Explanations
----------------------------

**Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except the plot and other things that you don’t recognize!**

**The Dragon’s Egg**

**Thats** **So Raven**

**Chapter Two: Explanations**

Draco stood still for a moment, his eyes fixed on Ginny, letting the bitter reality of what
Ginny just said sink in, “She’s my daughter?”

Not knowing what else to say, Ginny nodded her head.

*‘Three years, Draco, you’ve had a daughter for three years.’* Draco’s eyes flickered with
anger.

“If that’s my daughter, why didn’t you ever tell me about her?”

“Listen, Draco I-“

“Forget it Weasley.” Draco turned around and began to walk out of the room, *‘She’s lived
three years of her life without a father, looks as though she’s fine without me.’*

“Draco Malfoy, if you don’t turn around right now, I swear you will never have anything to do
with your daughter again.”

Draco spun around, “Again!? I never had anything to do with her in the first place!”

“If you would just give me a minute to explain!”

“Explain!? Explain what!? How you got pregnant and didn’t bother to tell the father?”

“Mummy?” Skylar’s small voice distracted the two.

“Yes Skylar?” Ginny said moving over to her bed.

“I don’t like it when you shout, mummy.”

Ginny kissed Skylar on the forehead, “I’m sorry Skylar, I won’t do it again. Go back to sleep,
alright?”

Skylar nodded and snuggled back under the blankets.

Ginny stood up and walked to Skylar’s door. She held it opened and motioned for Draco to walk
out. She followed him into the living room, trying to keep her eyes from traveling further down his
back.

“Alright Virginia, tell me your side of the story, I’m all ears.” He crossed his arms in front
of his chest.

Ginny sighed, “Good. After the Christmas holidays I went back to school, and a few weeks later I
was feeling horrible. I was in the hospital wing every morning before classes. It was then that I
worked it out and realized I was…erm…*late*.

“Madam Pomfrey did a test and sure enough, she told that I would have a daughter sometime in
August.”

“That still doesn’t explain why you didn’t owl me.”

“I didn’t know what you would do. I wasn’t sure if you would blow it out of proportion and say
that it was my fault and then leave.” Ginny sat on the arm of the couch.

“I wouldn’t just leave. You don’t even know me.”

Ginny bit her bottom lip; he had her there. “Draco, I’m sorry.”

“You’re sorry? Everyone is bloody sorry, change the record Weasley,” Draco spat.

“Would you even be able to take care of her? You probably haven’t taken care of a thing in your
life.”

Draco walked towards Ginny, “Yes I would. As I stated before, Weasley, you know nothing about
me.” When Ginny said nothing he continued, “I’ve been living my life for three years not knowing I
had a daughter. I missed out on a lot Weasley, you know that isn’t right.”


“Draco, I’m really sorry.”

“It wouldn’t have been like this if I had known.” He took a few steps back and stared at Ginny,
face blank.

“Draco, I was only seventeen!” Ginny stood up too as Draco looked at her. It seemed as though he
looked through her rather than at her. “Let’s be reasonable about this. I don’t want to loose
her.”

"I feel like I've already lost her! Well I can't say that because I never even had
her!" Draco said angrily.

"I said I was sorry, and I am! I thought you would do something irrational!"

"No, you were the one being irrational, not telling me about her!"

Ginny lost her temper, "Draco!" she screamed, "I told you I’m sorry, how many times
do you want me to tell you again?!"

After a moment of silence, Draco looked at Ginny lazily, "What are we going to do?"

"I don't know."

"Well that really helps. Have some of her clothes packed by Friday."

"What! Why? You’re not taking her!”

”Who are you to stop me?” Draco said taking a step towards Ginny.

Ginny looked up into his stormy gray eyes, “You wouldn’t really take her, would you?”

"I want her to stay at my manor.” Before Ginny could say anything he continued, “She needs
to learn the Malfoy ways and you don’t think I can take care of her. On Monday we'll have to
get this all worked out. I want to spend time with her. Since I never did..."


"Draco stop that! Stop it now!"

Draco smirked, "Okay Virginia, I’ll be back Friday at mid-day." Draco began to walk to
the door when he stopped, “Apparition,” Again he smirked, “Tell Skylar I said Good Morning, Good
Afternoon and Goodnight." And with a wink, he disapperated.


"Did he just wink?" Ginny asked herself. "I will never understand him...he goes
from being furious to winking?" She sighed and walked into her room.




****************

Chapter Three! Sorry it’s so short! Next one will be longer, promise! I hope you liked it, I
went through and tried to make Draco seem, more Draco. If anyone has any erm, what would you call
it? Those things to help write characters, ahh…I have *no* idea what I’m talking about. I’ll

4. Chapter Three: Family Time
-----------------------------

**The Dragon’s Egg**

**Thats** **So Raven**

**Chapter Three: Family Time**

Ginny tucked Skylar into bed and set her packed bag under her bed. She walked out of Skylar’s
room into the living room and lay down on the sofa, closing her eyes.

It was as if everything from her past had decided to come back now. Draco was back, not that he
ever went anywhere, and she would have to face her parents.

She had left The Burrow in fear of what her family would say once they found out that she was
pregnant and the father was Draco Malfoy, of all people. Yes, they loved her a lot, but having a
baby at seventeen was not acceptable. They wanted her to have the best future she could possibly
have, and a baby would not help her at all.


Ginny got up off of the couch and went to kitchen; she opened the drinks cabinet and pulled out
a bottle of Elderflower wine. She had had the wine only once, on a special occasion, the opening of
her hotel. She took out a wine glass and watched as the wine slid down the side until it filled up
the glass. She lifted the glass to her lips and drank the contents, letting it burn her throat on
the way down. She drank glass after glass until she felt she had had enough. She put the bottle
back in the cabinet and stumbled back to her room. When she got into her room she plopped down on
her bed and instantly fell asleep.


The next morning she woke up to Skylar was jumping up and down on her bed, "Mummy, Mummy!
You have to wake up and make me breakfast!"

"Skylar, what did I tell you about jumping on beds!?" Skylar stopped jumping on the bed
and sat down, cross legged. Ginny walked into the kitchen and made toast and eggs.

When Skylar finished eating Ginny told her to go into her room and find any remaining toys she
would like to take.


Once she heard Skylar shuffling about up stairs, she got the bottle of wine again. She
didn't even bother to get a glass, she drank straight out of the bottle. She closed her eyes as
the pain in her head felt slightly better, when Skylar came running back into the living room.

"Mummy! What time will Mr. Draco be here?”


Ginny growled, "I do not know Skylar! He’ll come whatever time he bloody feels like it!”
Ginny rolled her eyes and put threw the empty bottle into the bin.

Skylar took a few small steps back, tears forming in her eyes; she turned around and ran up to her
room.

"Bullocks! What in the name of Merlin have I done?" Ginny quickly stood up, which she
realized was a mistake. She let her head stop spinning before she walked to Skylar’s room.


"Skylar..." Ginny said as she slowly opened the door. Skylar was on her bed, hugging
her teddy bear, eyes still red but no tears falling down. Ginny picked up Skylar from her bed,
"Skylar, I'm so sorry. A lot of things are happening in Mummy's life right now, and
she is having a hard time dealing with it." She kissed the top of Skylar’s head, “Mummy won’t
shout at you again.”


Skylar’s arms went around her mums neck, “Mummy, I wuv you, I weally do!”

“I know, Sky, I know.” Ginny sat Skylar back down on her bed and brushed some hair out of her
eyes. The door bell rang and Skylar hopped of the bed to go answer it. “Sky, don’t answer the door.
You don’t know who it is yet.”

“Yes I do!” Skylar challenged her mum.

“Oh really, who is it?”

“Mr. Draco!”

“How do you know?”

Skylar shrugged, “I dunno, I just know.”


“Well, go and get your bags from your room, alright?” Skylar nodded and left to her room. Ginny
opened the door and sure enough, it was Draco. “Wow,” she muttered under her breath, Skylar was
right…but then again, who else would be coming to the house?

“Miss me that much?” Ginny stepped away from the door and Draco came into the house.

“No!” Ginny glared at him and he closed the door.

“Where is she?” Draco asked. Not waiting for an answer he continued, “That’s alright, I’ll call
for her. Skylar!” He bellowed, his loud voice bouncing off the wall, Ginny’s head catching the
rebound.

“Ow!” Ginny put a hand over her head, “Don’t shout!”


"What happened to you?" Draco asked, “Surely, you weren’t drinking, no responsible
mother would do that.”

“Shut up, you.” Draco smirked, “So…I had a little to drink; what’s it go to do with you?”
Knowing that Draco was probably going to say something witty, she continued, “Don’t answer
that.”


"For starters you should rest until your headache goes away. I don’t suppose you have a
hangover potion, because why would the world’s best mother need one of those?” Draco said
sarcastically, “Once your headache is gone, you should think about going to tell your parents. They
have the right to know. It is their grandchild after all.” Draco shuddered at the thought.

Ginny eyed him suspiciously, “How did you know I never told my family?”


"I would vaguely remember receiving nearly ten howlers."

Ginny grinned as Skylar came back down the stairs with her bag. She handed the bag to Draco who put
it on his shoulder, “What in Gabriel’s name is Barbie?”

Ginny laughed, “It’s a toy, one of Skylar’s favorites. Who’s Gabriel?”

“We’ll see how long that lasts.” Draco said aloud, “Gabriel is a great, great, great, great,
great, you see where I’m going?” Ginny nodded, “Grandfather.”

“I see…”

Draco turned to Skylar, “Are you ready to come home with me?”

She nodded her head shyly, “Is mummy coming too?”

Draco looked up at Ginny and then back at Skylar, “No, it’s just me and you.”

“How did you get here?” Ginny asked.

“I drove, believe it or not.”

Ginny shook her head, “No, I don’t.”

“Come and look for yourself.” Draco opened the door and led Ginny and Skylar outside to his car.
“I figured Skylar was used to Muggle transportation.

The car that met Ginny’s eyes was a black Jaguar, “Nice…”

Draco frowned, “Nice? That’s all you have to say?”

Ginny rolled her eyes, “I’m sorry, Mister Malfoy. Your car is absolutely extravagant! I like it
ever so much.”

Draco ignored Ginny and sat Skylar in the back of the car with her bag. He buckled her seat belt
and turned to face Ginny again.

“When is her birthday?”

“August 31st, less than a fortnight away.”

Draco nodded as he got in the car, “Alright, we’ll be going now.” He put the car in reverse, “See
you in a few years.” He winked. “Goodbye, Virginia.”

He pulled out of the driveway, Skylar in the back seat waving frantically at her mother.

~*~


When Skylar entered Malfoy Manor, she tilted her head all the way back and looked around.


"Do you like it?" Draco asked, Skylar nodded, "I’ll show you to your room.” Draco
took her hand in his and walked up the stairs.

A few flights later they reached a landing and walked down the hall. He opened a door, and
Skylar immediately ran to the bed. She jumped on it and exclaimed, “Nice and jumpable!” She got
down from the bed and scanned the room, “I think this will do.”


Draco smirked, “How about we go and get some lunch?”


Skylar nodded and held her hand in the air, Draco picked her up instead, “You can’t tell your
mum what I’m about to do, alright?” Skylar nodded as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Draco
closed his eyes and apperated into the Three Broomsticks.

Skylar gasped as she looked up at all the strange grown ups and their children, who were staring
at her and her father the same way. “Mr. Draco…” She started, “Where are we?”

Draco walked Skylar to *his* table and sat down on one side of the booth, Skylar on the
other. “What did you call me?”

“Mr. Draco.”

“Skylar, you know who I am, don’t you?” She nodded, “So what should you call me?”

Skylar shrugged, “Fewwet?” Draco scowled, “Daddy?”

“All of my life, I never would have thought that someone would call me that,” Draco said in
disbelief.


~*~


Ginny stepped out of the shower, feeling 100% better. She dressed casually, with no make up; she
knew her parents didn’t think she needed make up. After checking how she looked once more, she
stepped into the fireplace and yelled, “The Burrow!”


She felt the familiar lurch in her stomach as everything spun around. She landed one her hands
and knees in the living room of the burrow. She stood up and dusted herself off.

“Ginny?” Her mother said in a shocked tone.


"Yes mum, it’s me.”

"Arthur! Get in here! Quickly!" Molly shouted.

"What?" He asked as he walked into the room. “Ginny?” He stared at her in
astonishment.




Ginny smiled nervously, "I know you’re both surprised to see me but...I...err...well you
see..." Ginny didn't know where to start. Before she could continue, she felt someone
hugging her.



"Oh Ginny, we missed you so much! Why didn’t you ever owl?”



"I missed you too mum.” Ginny stepped back from her parents and looked at them, they still
looked the same, “I have something really important to tell you. It has a lot to do with why I left
and...I don't know how you’re going to react." Ginny said honestly.



"Come into the kitchen dear. I'll make a spot of tea and you can tell us all about
it." Ginny nodded and walked into the kitchen with her mum and dad.

*How should I put this? **What’s the easiest way**? There* is *no easy way. **Hullo,
Mum, Dad, I know I’ve been gone for three years now, but it’s alright I’ve been fine. I have a
daughter, Skylar, oh her father you ask? Draco Malfoy, isn’t that nice?*** Ginny put her head
in her hands, trying to stop the on going battle.


Molly sat down next to Arthur, across from Ginny, “Gin, you can tell us now.”


"Well...” she started.

*‘Just say it! **I can’t!** You have to some time! But**...what will they say?** That’s
what you were afraid of in the first place. Just say it already!’*

“For the past three, almost four, years you two have been grandparents. Well, grandparents to my
child anyway." Ginny looked down at the table as her parents were in silence.

"Who's the father? What’s her name? What does she look like?" Arthur asked.

Ginny lifted up her head, "Her name is Skylar Rose. She looks like me but her nose is pointy.”
Ginny laughed, “Her hair is nearly the same, and she has grey eyes.”

"She sounds beautiful!” Molly said.

"And that she is! She's a regular bundle of joy! Extremely clever, for a three year
old." Ginny looked over at her dad who wasn't smiling like Molly.

"Who is the father, Gin?"

Ginny took a deep breath. "You have to promise you won't go mental on me." Molly
nodded; Arthur continued to stare at her. "Draco Malfoy." Ginny said and closed her eyes
tight shut waiting for the yelling and shouting but it never came.

She heard a chair scraping on the wooden floor. She opened her eyes to see her mum pouring tea into
the cups.

Arthur was beside himself in rage, "Draco Malfoy? Did I hear you clearly? Draco Malfoy. The
son of the man who has hated our family since...forever!?"

”Daddy, please stop shouting! It was all a..." Ginny stopped. She didn't know whether to
tell her parents the truth or to lie. A lie seemed to be much better in this situation, "Draco
and I love each other, very much! If you two can't cope with it then...I don't know, I
suppose we just won't come anywhere that we are not welcome."

"Oh Ginny you’re always going to be welcome here no matter what!" Molly said handing
Ginny the cup of tea, and glaring at her husband.


"Thanks mum. That means a lot."

*‘See, you left for absolutely nothing. **Shut up you!**’*

“I have an idea…”


"What might that idea be?” Her mum asked.


"Well, you’ve never met Skylar before or really got to know Draco for who is, and Skylar’s
fourth birthday is in a fortnight. It would be a really good chance for her to meet her family and
for you to talk with Draco, if that’s alright with you.”

”Of course it’s alright!” Molly face beamed, “Let’s start planning!”


"Is it alright with you, daddy?”


"Yes, Yes, I just...don't understand it Gin. I just don't understand."

"I'm sorry if I disappointed you in any way dad. I can't do everything that you want
me to!”


"No Ginny...But why Malfoy? I'm willing to bet the two of you aren't even married.
Seeing as how there is no ring on your finger."

"Dad I'm sorry. But I promise everything will be explained later! I promise!" Ginny
reached over the table and hugged him.

"Okay Gin, we can have a party here." Ginny looked at her dad and smiled. He smiled back
at her.

"Do you want it to be a surprise party?” Ginny nodded, Molly began telling her the ideas that
came rushing into her head, when something occurred to her, "Wait...where is she?"

"With Draco.” She answered simply, “Thursday is the exact day of her birthday, so we should
have it on Thursday. We can get Fred and George to do fireworks; they still have their joke shop,
don’t they?”

Molly nodded and sighed, “Oh Gin, it’s been so long!”

Ginny smiled, “I know, mum, I know.”

"Wait, Gin, how are we going to pay for all of this?" Arthur asked.

"Oh it’s alright; I'll pay for the extra things. The food will be home made
though."

"But how are *you* going to pay for it?"

"You see, after I had...err left home I ended up trying to get a job, but no one wanted to
give a job to a pregnant seventeen year old. At first I used up all of my savings to rent out a
flat for a couple of months until I had Skylar. That’s an entirely different story though. I ended
up working in a hotel, the owner and I were close and when she passed away, she had no children. On
her will it said the hotel was left to me, I had the right to do whatever I wanted with it. That’s
basically it.”

"What’s the name of it?"

"It’s the Virginia-Sky Suites. I used my name and part of Skylar's." Ginny told her
mum.

"Arthur we should stay there sometime!" Molly said.

"Yeah, of course. Now if you two don't mind. I'm going to go and finish my afternoon
nap! And let you finish your planning!" Arthur said as he stood up and left the room.


Ginny turned back around to look at her mum. They grinned at each other and started to plan
where the tables and everything was going to go.

~*~


After lunch in the Three Broomsticks, Draco and Skylar walked to Madam Malkin’s Robes for All
Occasions.

“Mr. Malfoy! How wonderful to see you again!” Madam Malkin said as they entered the store, “What
can I do for you today?”

“I need someone to be fitted.”

Madam Malkin nodded, “Whom?”

“Skylar.” Skylar stepped in front of Draco and smiled.

“She’s beautiful! Is she your cousin? Niece?”

“She’s my daughter.” Draco smirked at the look on her face.

“Well, right this way.” She led them to a room in the back, and began to measure Skylar, “Is
there a specific color you would like?”

“Black, forest green and dark blue.”

“Won’t be a moment.” Madam Malkin said and walked out of the room.

“What am I getting?” Skylar asked.

“A robe.”

“Like the kinds you wear out of the bath?”

Draco shook his head, “Not that kind.”

“Well! What kinds!”

Then it clicked, “Has your mum told you about Hogwarts?”

Skylar nodded, “It my night-night stories. She told me about Hoggywarts, and Dumbleedore.”

Draco sighed, “We have a lot of talking to do. If you are to be a true Malfoy, we’ll have to
start from the very beginning. To commence: do you know what your last name means?

“Which one? Weasley or Malfoy.”

“You only have one last name, Malfoy.”

Skylar frowned, “But mummy said-“

“That’s what your mother told you. Now this is what I’m telling you, okay?’

“Yes sir.”

Draco eyes locked with the silver orbs like his own, she called him sir. He was not a sir, he
was her father.

Draco kneeled down by Skylar, “Your mum and I are living in two different worlds, you may not
like it but you will have to adapt to both environments.” He told her, *‘Oh great’* he
thought, *‘just talk to her like she’s an animal.’*


Madam Malkin walked back into the room, with three robes in her hand, “Are these alright, Mr.
Malfoy?”

Draco raised an eyebrow, “Alright for what?”

“Your daughter, sir.”

“Where did you get these?”

“In the back, sir. We had some this size and-“

“This is a mockery! Am I not Draco Malfoy?”

“Yes you are sir; I don’t seem to understand the problem.”

“Malfoy’s do not wear robes that you found in the back; they are to be hand made to fit the
wearer, perfectly. With a silver M sewn into it, and the lining made of the finest silk!” Draco
complained to her.

“I am sorry sir, I will get to work on that, immediately.” She said through gritted teeth.

“Good, I’ll be back in a week to pick them up.” She nodded and held the door open for the two to
walk out of the room.

How Draco loved being a Malfoy, being respected unquestioningly by the Wizarding world.

After leaving the shop Draco picked up Skylar and they apperated home. The house elves already
had dinner on the table. They ate in silence, except for when Skylar would ask a question and Draco
would answer it as best he could.

After dinner Draco walked Skylar up into her room and sat her down on her bed. He called for
Syria the house elf.

“Yes sirs, what can Syria do for you?”

“Get some bath water ready, and give Skylar a bath.” The house elf nodded and disappeared.

“But mummy always gives me a bath.” Skylar pouted.

“Pouting won’t always get you your way.” Draco said, sounding like his father, *‘Maybe*
*Virginia* *was right, you don’t know how to raise a child’.*

“Mummy always gives me a bath!”

Draco sighed, “Alright, come on.” He held out his hand, and she took it, smiling. They walked to
the bathroom across the hallway to the bathroom where Syria was adding bubbles to the water.

She turned around and screamed, “Oh! Mr. Malfoy, sirs, you gave Syria such a fright!”

“I’ll be giving Skylar her bath tonight; you can go back to your chambers and have the night
off.”

Syria smiled, “Thank you sirs, so much, thank you!” Syria then left the bathroom.

“Umm.” Draco nervously licked his lips, “Well…get in.”

“I wish mummy was here.”

“Well your mother won’t be with you every minute of your life, so get used to it.” Draco
snapped.

Skylar’s face was blank as she took off her clothes and got into the bath. Draco took off his
robe and rolled up the sleeves of his white, button up shirt. He took a towel out from under the
sink and wet it. He picked up bar of soap and rubbed the towel against it.

After washing her up he washed her hair, making all the simple mistakes, getting shampoo in her
eye and water up her nose. *‘When do normal children learn to wash themselves?’* He thought as
he wrapped a towel around Skylar.

He carried into her room, and put her night gown on. He tucked her into bed and began to make
his way out of the room when a voice called him back.

“Will you open the window?” She asked, “Mummy always leaves it open.”

Draco turned around, walked to the window, and opened it up, “Happy?” Skylar nodded and snuggled
back under the covers.

Draco closed her door and walked into his room; he took a quick shower and got into bed around
nine, exhausted by having looked after Skylar all day.

He slept for at least an hour, he guessed, when his door opened and Skylar walked in,
crying.

She stood at the side of his bed, holding her arms up; she was too small to climb into the bed by
herself.

Draco picked her up and placed her on his bed next to him, "What’s wrong?"

She sniffled, “I had a bad dream.”


Draco awkwardly patted her on the back, “It’s okay, and you’re as safe as you’ll ever be in this
manor.” It seemed to help calm down, “You can sleep here for tonight."

Skylar nodded and got under the blankets, “Goodnight, Daddy.”

“Goodnight, Skylar.” He lay back in the bed and closed his eyes, soon falling into a peaceful
slumber next to his daughter.

5. Chapter Four: Skylars Birthday

**Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except the plot and other things that you don’t recognize!**

**The Dragon’s Egg**

**Thats** **So Raven**

**Chapter Four: Skylar’s Birthday**

The next morning Ginny woke up, at The Burrow, in her old bed. She stretched, lazily and smiled.
She stood up quickly and walked out the door, the smell of bacon and eggs filling her nose enticing
her downstairs.

She walked down the steps slowly, taking in all her surroundings. *'Oh Merlin, I’ve missed
this place,'* Ginny thought. When she entered the kitchen her mum was putting butter on some
toast, “Morning Mum.”

"Oh Good morning Gin! Sit down, have some breakfast! Today is going to be a big day!” Molly
beamed.

"What...why?"

"I wrote to your brothers and told them that you were back! Percy is the only one that
can’t make it, he’s still the same as ever.”

"Oh, how fun." Ginny pouted once her mum turned around and sat down. She began
thinking how her brothers and sisters-in-laws would react, Harry and Hermione included.

**~*~**

Draco woke up the next morning to an empty bed, “Bloody hell.” He got out of his bed and checked
her room, she wasn’t there. He continued looking for her, but he didn’t have to look very far. As
he entered the dining room he saw Skylar sitting at the table eating bacon, eggs, and toast.


"Morning!" Skylar said happily while stabbing her fork into her pancake and putting it
in her mouth.

“Good morning,” Draco said taking a seat at the other end of the table. “Chives!”

A man came into the dining room, “You rang, sir?”

“Yes, get me some eggs and toast, no bacon.”

“Right away, sir.” Chives bowed causing his shaggy brown hair hanging in front of his face. He
then turned around and left the room.

Skylar picked up her glass of pumpkin juice and drank from it, spilling some of it down the front
of her night gown. She looked up at Draco, tears forming in her eyes.

“Don’t tell me you’re going to cry?” Skylar said nothing, “It’s just pumpkin juice!”

"I’ ‘posed to be a big girl!"

"Big girls don’t cry.” Draco said as he made his way towards her. “Go up to your bathroom
and wash off.”

Skylar nodded her head, “Yes, father.”

**~*~

**

Bill and Fleur, Charlie and Tawny, Penelope, Fred and Angelina, George and Zoe, Ron and Luna,
Penelope and last but not least Harry and Hermione were all in the Weasley's living room,
awaiting Ginny's news. They all sat impatiently, after they had smothered Ginny with hugs,
kisses and dozens of questions.


Ginny decided to go with the same news breaking tactic that she used with her parents. The worse
response would probably come from Ron, so she put a silencing Charm on him.

"What did you have to tell us Gin?" Charlie has asked.

Ginny glanced at her mum who nodded her head encouragingly. "Well, I just wanted to tell
you all that you’re aunts and uncles." Ginny knew that didn't sound good. "Well what
I mean is-" Ginny didn't get to finish because Charlie had walked up to her and hugged
her. He placed his hand on her stomach.

Ginny blushed, "No Charlie, I'm not pregnant. I already was, three years ago."
Ginny looked down at Charlie’s hand as he slowly moved them away. Ginny sighed, "I'm sorry
I never told you," She looked up into his eyes, water forming in her own.

"Oh Gin, don’t cry.” Bill said as he hugged her.

"I'm sorry," Ginny hugged him back. "I'm sorry for being a terrible
sister!”

“Ginny, you were never a terrible sister.” George assured her.

Ginny, sobbed into Bill’s shoulder, “Yes I was. I left without telling you, and disappointed all
of you.”

Ron stood behind Bill moving his hands around frantically.

"Gin, you never disappointed us."

Ginny nodded her head before lifting it off of Bill’s shoulder. She looked at Fred, "Yes I
did. I got pregnant by Malfoy."

"You did what?" Fred asked.

"I'm sorry, I'm Sorry!" Ginny cried.

"Gin, it’s okay," Charlie said as he hugged her.


"I would have preferred it to have been someone else, but if this is what you wanted,
I'll be okay with it." George said. “It is what you wanted, right?”

Ginny wiped her face, "Yes, George, it is.”

Ron eyes looked as though they would pop out of his head. He glared at Ginny and pointed at his
mouth. Ginny took the silencing spell off of him, "Malfoy Gin!? Malfoy are you serious!?"
Ginny looked at Bill, Fred and Charlie for help.

"Ron, don't make her sadder, just forget about it," Bill said.

"What? I can't forget about my sister liking a Malfoy and having a niece or nephew who is
part evil!"

Ginny glared at Ron and raised her hand to smack him. Bill grabbed it before it could reach his
youngest brother’s face. “She is not evil! I don't *ever* want to hear you say that
again!"

When Ron said nothing Bill punched him on the arm, “Ow!” Ron glared at his brother,
"I'm sorry, Gin. Family is family." Ron looked at Ginny and tried his best to
smile.


Ginny smiled up at him and hugged him, "I better get home. Draco and Skylar should be back
today or tomorrow."

"Where did they go?" Ron asked.

"Um...they went to do some…father daughter bonding, this weekend and I told them I was going
to come home and explain the whole...situation."

"And you have explained the *whole* situation, haven’t you?" George asked.

"Well not the whole situation but, the more important parts.” Ginny told her brothers who
were now eyeing her, suspiciously, “But now I really have to go."

"Bye, Gin,” Was chorused as she apperated to her house.


**~*~**

Ginny sat on the living room couch waiting for Skylar and Draco to arrive. She stood from the
couch when she heard a small knock on the door. She walked to the door and knocked back.

Skylar laughed knocked again. Ginny let out a small chuckle, she knocked on the door four once
more.


“Come on Virginia, open up.”

Ginny unlocked the door and let them in, "Mummy!" Ginny picked up Skylar and kissed
her on the forehead.

"Hey! How is my favorite daughter?"


"Mum, I'm your only daughter."

"I know that’s what makes you my favorite. Did you have fun at your father’s
house?"

Skylar nodded, "We went to lunch and I got new robes!”

Ginny smiled, but looked at Draco when Skylar mentioned getting a robe. "Skylar, will you go
in your room and wait for me to give you a bath? I have to talk with your father about
something."

Skylar nodded and looked at both of her parents before going upstairs to her room.

Ginny motioned for Draco to sit down on the sofa. She took a seat on the sofa across from
him.

"I talked to my family this weekend. I told them about you and Skylar and I thought it
would be a good idea to have Skylar’s birthday party at the burrow. With you there of course."
Ginny told him.

“Is that all?"

"Well...I didn't tell them how Skylar came to be, with Lavender’s party and
everything." The tile on Ginny’s floor had never seemed so interesting before now,
"And...I kind of told them we were together and...Err...um...I told them that I...err...love
you." Ginny blushed.


Draco smirked at her reddened face, “I see…if I went you would want me to act as though I were
in love with you?"

Ginny nodded, "Wait...what do you mean *if*?"

"I haven’t exactly accepted your invitation, have I?"

“*What?* Malfoy, you have to!” Ginny glared at him.


"Correction, I don't have to do anything." Draco stood up and walked into
Skylar's room.

She turned around when she heard the door open. Draco picked her up, and sat her on her bed.

"Skylar. I have to go home. I'll be back on Thursday."

"Pwomise?" Draco nodded.

"Goodnight Skylar, see you on Thursday.” Draco kissed the top of her head and went back down
stairs.

"Good Bye Draco. You better be here on Thursday."

"It’s not my fault you lied to your parents."

"I can not believe you, Malfoy.” Ginny said to Draco as he apperated home.

**~*~
** Ginny sighed and leaned back on her feet as she sat on the floor. "Skylar put it on
for mummy. Please?"

"Uh-Uh! Daddy said I could wear pwetty robes!"

"Maybe he did say that, but the robes are with father and he's not here. Is
he?"

Skylar pouted, “He’ll be here as soon as you break that cup in the kitchen.”

"Okay, let’s just wait until he gets here and I won't be breaking any cups in the
kitchen."

"Okay mummy." Skylar put on her best smile for her mum.

Ginny walked into her room to get dressed. She put on a green dress that came just above her
knees with black high heels and her hair up in a sloppy bun.

When Ginny heard the kettle go off she went to the kitchen and took out a cup. She mad a cup of
tea and took a sip; just as it entered her mouth it burned her tongue. She dropped the cup, causing
it to hit the ground and break. “Bugger.” She said as she looked down at her stained skirt.

Just then she heard the door bell ring. She went to go answer it and then stopped. "No, it
can't be." She opened the door and saw Draco, "Bloody Hell."

"Now, that’s not a nice way to greet your *love*." Draco said stepping into the
house.

"Skylar’s in her room. I have to go and get changed." Ginny went to her room to look for
clothes. “Washing on Friday’s, damn it.” She looked through her wardrobe and couldn’t find anything
but one dress, ‘*How embarrassing,*’ she thought as she took out the dress and put it
on.

When Draco walked into Skylar’s room, she jumped off of her bed and hugged his leg, “Happy
Birthday. “

Skylar smiled, sweetly, “Thank you.”

Draco looked down at her clothes, “Is that what you’re wearing?”

"No, mummy wants me to wear a dress, ‘Cause she said we are going to see my family."
Skylar stopped talking and looked up at Draco, "I've never seen my family."

"Don't worry, you'll love them." Draco assured his daughter, “Are you wearing
your new robes?”

“Did you bring them?”

Draco’s teeth clenched, “No, I didn’t. I forgot.”

Skylar frowned, “Its okay, I think.”

"How about you wear the nice dress today and then tomorrow when you’re with me, you can
wear the robe." Draco told her. As of today Skylar was four years old, and she already like
fashion.

"Okay!” Skylar jumped out of his arms and grabbed a dress off of her bed.

It was red and frilly at the bottom and it stopped just below her knees.

She walked to her dresser and pulled out red dress socks that had white ruffles on the end when
they were folded down. "Can you help me wiff this?"

Draco looked around for any sign of Ginny, “Skylar, I don’t really know how to get those things
on.” Skylar frowned and Draco sighed, “Okay, okay. Do…whatever it is that you have to do before you
put this…thing on.”

Skylar giggled and took of her trousers and top. Draco picked up the dress, “Arms up.” He
slipped her arms through the arm holes and pulled it down. Skylar stepped back and sat on the floor
to put on her socks. After her socks she put on her shiny, black shoes, “I like these shoes.”
Skylar said as she stood and she and Draco began to walk out of the hall.

"Why is that?”

"They click when I walk down the halls!" Skylar beamed.

Ginny walked back into the living room and told them it was time to leave. She took Skylar's
left hand and Draco took her right. Ginny locked the door as they walked out the house.

They sat in the car, listening to soft music. Ginny instructed Draco where to go. They would have
flooed, but Skylar had never flooed before and Ginny didn't want Skylar’s dress to get
dirty

When they reached the front door Ginny looked down at Skylar, her red hair in two curly pig
tails. Skylar looked up at her mum and smiled.

Ginny did the *code* knock on the door. When she opened it the whole place was dark. Skylar
grabbed Draco's hand and he picked her up as Ginny shut the door behind them.

"Mummy, Daddy it's too dark in here. I don't like it." Draco lowered Skylar’s
head to his shoulder.

“Surprise!”

The lights turned on and Skylar looked around the room, smiling. It was filled with people she
had obviously never seen before.

"Happy Birthday!" They yelled again.

Molly Weasley quickly walked over to Skylar and took her from Draco’s arms, “Hullo! I’m Molly, your
Grandma, but you can call me Grams.”

The family took turns walking up to Skylar and introducing themselves. Draco took a seat and
watched them all. One of Ginny’s brothers made his way towards Draco and he straightened up in his
seat.

"Draco, I’m Bill," he said, extending his hand.

"Bill, it’s nice to meet you.” Draco shook his hand and forced himself to smile.

Bill pulled Draco up to his feet and introduced him to the rest of the family. Everyone seemed
nice, with the exception of Ron, of course.

"Malfoy," he said.

"Ronald." Draco smirked.

"If you harm her in any way, I swear you'll regret it."

"Do you think I would actually harm the mother of my child? What do you take me for? And
idiot?" Draco asked.

"Actually I-" Ron was cut off by Luna.

"Ron, don’t answer that. Let’s go, everyone is heading outside."

Once they all were outside Fred and George used fireworks to light up the sky and spell, “Happy
Birthday Skylar.” In red and green sparks


A little while later everyone sat down at a rather large table. It had to be enormous to fit all
of the children and their parents.

Nearly everyone had children, though Molly was still waiting for Ron and Luna, George and Zoe,
and Harry and Hermione to deliver her some good news.

Bill and Fleur had two children: Honest and Heaven, twins, whom Fleur got to name. Charlie and
Tawny had one daughter, Ariel. Percy and Penelope were the parents of two fraternal twins, Justin
and Julia. Fred and Angelina had one daughter, Victoria.

All children, except for Skylar and Victoria, were older than six. Victoria who was five and
Skylar, who of course was now four.

Dinner went along smoothly, everyone making light conversation, “So Draco, where do you work?”
Charlie asked him.

"Well, being the only heir to the Malfoy fortune, I am now the director of Malfoy Inc. We
own several businesses. Though I am actually trying to start a new business myself.”

“What kind of business would that be?”

“A quidditch shop, where everything is about Quidditch.”

Ron snickered, earning a punch in the ribs from his wife, “Ron, be nice!” Luna scolded.

After dinner soft music began to play, and Skylar was taken by her mischievous twin uncles.

Skylar giggled as her Uncle Fred handed her a wand. She wrapped her small hands around it and
walk towards Draco.

"Hi daddy," she tugged on his trousers and smiled up at him. He turned away from his
conversation with Bill.

"Hi," Draco said.

"Daddy...can I practice somefin on you?" She asked sweetly.

"Depends on what it is." Skylar took the wand out from her back and motioned for Draco to
lean down and he did. She placed the tip of the wand on his nose and a lady bird appeared, she then
placed them all over his face.

Draco ended up swatting them all away in the end. He picked Skylar up and walked to the dance
floor, “Silly little girl.”

He put Skylar down on the floor and she stepped on his shoes. Inside Draco grimaced, *‘Damn, I
just bought these!’* He placed his hand on her back and they moved around the dance floor.

"Skylar, Skylar!" Some of the other children called and she ran over to them.

Draco walked towards Ginny and put his right hand on the small of her back and brought her
closer to him, “There is something oddly familiar about that dress.” He whispered in her ear.

Ginny leaned back and smacked him on the arm playfully. "Malfoy!"

He let out a small chuckle, “There is, I thought I saw it in Witch Weekly.”

"Let’s dance!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him onto the dance floor.

They slowly moved together across the floor, when out of nowhere Draco dipped Ginny. When he
brought her back up her face was red, “Next time you could give me a warning, you know.”

Draco smirked, “In some places dipping is considered a form of foreplay.”

Ginny blushed, “What’s with you tonight? Did you use some sort of nice potion?”

“Something like that.” Draco said as the song ended and they were called into the house to open
presents.


After presents had been opened and the cake was eaten, Draco, Ginny, and Skylar went home.

After tucking Skylar in, Ginny walked Draco to his car, "Thanks for coming
Draco."

"What, you didn’t think I would seriously miss my daughter’s fourth birthday party, did
you?”

"No." Draco stopped at his car door and turned around to look at her.


"Are you doing anything this weekend?" Draco asked.

Ginny shook her head, "No, why?"

"Do you want to go out to dinner? We could leave Skylar with your mother.”

Ginny blushed. She had been asked out on dates before but it just felt strange being asked out
by the father of her daughter.

Ginny raised an eyebrow, “Just last week I could have sworn you hated me, and don’t think Skylar
didn’t tell me about your weekend, because she did. And now you’re asking me out to dinner?”

Draco nodded his head, “Basically….yes.”

Ginny shook her head, “I’ll have dinner with you, but this is in *no* way a date. We need
to set some ground rules about Skylar.”

“Saturday at seven sound good?” Ginny nodded, “It’s a date.” He smirked

”It’s not a date!”

“Keep telling yourself that, Weasley.”

“You are the most infuriating person I know!”

Draco smiled as he got in his car, “Glad I could be of some use.”

Ginny glared at him as he pulled out of the drive way. After watching his car go down the road
she went back into the house to take a nice, long bath.

****************

Chapter five, I believe. I hope you liked it and Draco seems a bit soft, but he did have to put
on an act for the Weasley’s after all. But the asking her out bit, that was from the last time I
wrote this story, and for the story to make sense he has to ask her out at this point and time. So
I’ll try and etch him up a bit. Do you think he’s too soft, or what? Sorry if the spacing is weird
too :-/

6. Chapter Five: The Date
-------------------------

**Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except the plot and other things that you don’t recognize!**

**The Dragon’s Egg**

**Thats** **So Raven**

**Chapter Five: The Date**

Saturday night came around quickly and before Ginny knew it she was dropping Skylar off at
Percy’s house. Ginny found out that the aunts and uncles took turns looking after the children,
leaving Molly and Arthur to have some time alone.


"I'll be back tomorrow about mid-day to pick her up, thank you again. And Penelope, may
Merlin be with you tonight!”


Penelope laughed, "Don't worry, I love children, have fun tonight."

Ginny kissed Skylar on the forehead then left back to her house to get ready.

*‘What to wear, what to wear?'* Ginny thought. *'Hmm, casual? Dressy? Classy? I
don't know.'* Ginny sighed. She looked through her wardrobe again until she found a
short grey skirt and a white blouse to go with it.

She put on a very small amount of make up again. She never really liked it that much, it hides the
real beauty. If you cover your face with loads of make up, you must be extremely ugly, like Pansy
Parkinson for one. Ginny put on a little bit of blusher, so that when she blushed it wouldn’t be as
noticeable.


Ginny was tapping impatiently on the table in front of the long sofa, when she heard the door
bell ring. *'Gods and Goddesses what am I getting myself into?'* Ginny asked herself
as she opened the door.


Draco was there with a white rose in his hand, which he handed to her. "Thank you,"
she let him come in.


"Are you ready?"


"One moment." She said as she looked for a vase, poured water in it and placed the
rose inside of it. She grabbed her handbag off the worktop and they both left the house.


Draco opened the car door for her, "Thank you." Ginny said as she sat down. Draco
walked around to the other side of the car and got in. He put the key into the ignition and they
drove off.


When they arrived, Draco opened the door for Ginny, earning another thanks. Ginny looked up and
saw the name on the restaurant it read: The George and Vulture. They walked in and were almost
immediately seated. Ginny sat down on one side of the booth, expecting Draco to sit on the other
side, instead he slid in right next to her. She tried not to be noticeable as she inhaled and
smelled his aftershave.


"G’day," a girl with an Australian accent said. "The name’s Nirvana. What can I get
you two to drink?"


Ginny looked up at the girl, "Um...sorry do I know you from somewhere?"


"Virginia Weasley?" she asked, Ginny nodded. "Oh so sorry, I didn't recognize
you! I'm your neighbor! Nirvana Reynolds."


"I thought I knew you from somewhere. You just moved in down the road, is that right?"
Nirvana nodded and she and Ginny talked for a little bit.


"Sorry sir, what can I get you to drink?" Nirvana asked again.


"I'll have pink lemonade please,"


"And you?"

"Same," Ginny said.


"I'll be right back with your drinks," Nirvana wrote it down and then left to go
and get the drinks.


Ginny began to laugh; Draco looked at her, puzzled. "What?" He asked.


"I just find it funny that *'The great Draco Malfoy, Slytherin
Extraordinaire'* drinks **pink** lemonade of all things. It’s not a very manly drink, or
color."


Draco glared, "Would you rather I drank Bacardi and Coke instead?" He smirked.


"Fuck off," Ginny told him.


"I’d rather not," Nirvana came back with the drinks.

“Thank you.” Ginny said as she set her drink down in front of her.

"You’re welcome. Would you two like a starter?”

Draco looked at Ginny, "What are you looking at me for?"


"Do you want a starter or not?"


"Oh, no thanks I'm ready to order."


"Alright then, what can I get you?" Nirvana took out her notepad so she could write
down the orders.


"I'll have the Shrimp with the Fettuccini Alfredo," Ginny said.


"And I'll have the salmon."


"What kind of side would you like?"

"Mashed potatoes."


"Alright, I'll be back in a few minutes with your food."


Draco and Ginny nodded as Nirvana walked away, “About Skylar…” Ginny began.

“Yes, about Skylar…I’ve been meaning to tell you something.” Ginny turned in the booth so she
could look at Draco. “As you know, I am a Malfoy.”

Ginny rolled her eyes, “Has there ever been a day where you let me forget it?”

Draco smirked and continued, “In the Malfoy family it’s not exactly proper to have a child and
not be married to the mother-“

“Absolutely not!” Ginny shook her head, “I am not marrying you.”

“Do you really have a choice?”

“Do you really think you should even have to ask me that?” Ginny glared at him before
continuing. “Malfoy, I came to have dinner with you, talk about Skylar, and maybe get to know the
father of my daughter better, please don’t make this any harder than it already is.”

Draco stood and sat on the other side of the booth, “What about Skylar do you wish to speak
of?”

“For one, I have never taken Skylar to Diagon Alley. I would have appreciated it if you had at
least asked me if it was alright.”

“I don’t feel the need to ask *you* if it’s okay for *me* to take *my* daughter
to a place she should have been introduced to since day one. Not in some bloody story you told
her.”

“She’s *my* daughter too. I need to be aware of where she is!”

“Do you not trust me with her?” Draco arched an eyebrow.

Ginny shook her head, “I wouldn’t be shocked if she told me she felt safer around you.” She then
sighed, “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I tend to worry about her more than I should.”

“She’s a clever girl; she’d know what to do if she were ever in danger.”


Ginny nodded her head in agreement, "She is clever, especially for someone her
age."


Draco smirked, “That must be from my genes." Draco said.


"Don't kid yourself."


"I’m not kidding. The clever genes come from me. She must get some of her good looks from
her mother, though.” Ginny began to blush as Nirvana set their plates down in front of them.


Draco chuckled, causing Ginny to turn even redder, "It’s not funny."

"Why are you blushing?"


"Well…I don't get complimented often."


"Come on, I bet a lot of your male employee's compliment you often."


"Yeah, but I can't tell if they’re being serious, or if they just want a pay
raise." Draco chuckled, again, "Well there was one guy that I did end up going out with.
He taught me never go out with employees.”


"Why what happened?" Draco asked, while cutting his salmon.


Ginny wrapped some of the fettuccini around her fork and said, "He was a really nice guy,
his name was Bryant. He had short black hair that was a little curly and he had the most gorgeous
blue eyes I have ever seen. He was the tall, dark, handsome, and mysterious type of
guy."


"I asked what *happened* not what he looked like." Draco said.


"Right, sorry. Well we went out for like a month or two and before we knew it rumors were
flying around like crazy about me being pregnant by him, him only going out with me to get a pay
raise and other idiotic things like that. It got to the point where I just suggested we stopped
seeing each other and that he find a new job. Ever since then I think he's hated me and maybe
even vowed for revenge. He thought I was in love with him or something."


"Did you really sleep with him?" Nirvana walked by the table to see if they needed
refills, Draco looked up at her and could have sworn that for a second her eyes were red. They told
her no and then she left.


Ginny glared at Draco, "I hardly think that is any of your business."


"Seeing as how you are the mother of my daughter, I think your business is my
business.”

“Yes, when it comes to Skylar, not of my personal business.”

“Right…sorry,” Draco said not sarcastically and went back to eating his food.


They ate in silence until Ginny spoke up, "No."

"No what?"


"No, I didn't sleep with him."


Draco grinned, *‘I always get my way.’*


Nirvana came back and said, "Are you both finished?"


"Yes," Ginny answered.


"Great!” Nirvana started to pick up the plates and place them along her arm,

"Would you two like a desert?"


"We’ll get back to you." Nirvana nodded and went into the kitchens.


“Do you want some ice cream?" Ginny asked.


"I don't know. Depends what kind they have." He picked up the menu and looked
through it. "Hmmm I’ve found what I want."


"What?"


"Chocolate cake with chocolate syrup and then vanilla ice cream comes with it."


"Okay, get that and we can share it, as long as you don’t care about catching any Weasley
filth," Ginny joked.



”I’d say I got enough of that about four years ago.”

Ginny tried her best to hide her blushing, “Infuriating git.”

Draco smirked and told Nirvana what they wanted once she walked by again.


~*~


Skylar had just finished eating her dinner, spaghetti, with her cousins. They were upstairs in
the bonus room playing games. Then the subject of quidditch came up.


"I like quidditch too it’s wicked." Justin said.


"So I do! I'm going to be the best quidditch player there ever was!" Victoria
exclaimed.


"No you can't be because you’re a girl."


"Yes I can!" Victoria shouted standing up and dropping one of her dolls.


"Anything boys can do girls can do better," Julia yelled at her twin.


"No they can't, girls are stupid!" Justin said standing up and pushing
Victoria.


"Stop fighting!" Heaven, the oldest, yelled.


"Honestly, don't you know fighting will get you no where?" Honest said.

Heaven then added, “But you all need to stop fighting, it’s really pointless and I don't
even like quidditch. I think it’s stupid."


"Well no one asked for you two knuts!" Justin yelled. "Just because you don’t
like quidditch means we have to stop liking it too!"


"I never said you had to stop liking it! I just said I didn't." Heaven said trying to
stay calm, she really did love her cousins, but sometimes they could get very annoying.


"It’s alright for her to think diffewntly than you all," Skylar said, "It’s sort
of like me liking macaroni and cheese, and Ariel likes Macaroni and beef."


"Skylar that’s not quite it, but close." Heaven said.


"Alright munchkins time for bed." Percy said as he walked up the stairs.


"Awwww," they chorused as they walked into rooms to prepare for bed.



~*~



Draco and Ginny both got in the car and drove to Ginny’s house.

Draco walked around the car and opened up Ginny's door, "Thanks."


"You’re welcome." He said as they walked to the front door. "Well..."


"I had a really great time Draco."

"Yeah me too. Tomorrow, are you picking up Skylar...?"


Ginny's eyes widened for a second, "Oh I forgot she was going to stay with you. It’s
nearly been three weeks and I still can’t remember.”


"It’s all right, I'll pick her up. I can just drive...or floo right?"


"You can floo, I’ll tell Percy that you’ll be coming instead of me.” Ginny turned around
and opened her door. "Sit down." She walked over to the fire place and threw in some floo
powder, "J & J’s White Rose!"


Seconds later, Percy's head appeared in the fire place, "Hullo Gin. Home from your date
already?”


"Hey, Perce. Tomorrow Draco is going to pick up Skylar instead of me, okay?"


Percy's flamed head nodded, "That’s great. By the way, how was your date with him? He
didn't do anything to you did he?"


Ginny blushed, "No he didn't. But he is sitting on the couch behind me." Ginny
took a step back.


"Oi, Malfoy didn't see you there."


"Nice to see you too."


"I'll be seeing you tomorrow. Good night." And with that his head
disappeared.


"Still over protective I see." Draco said.


"No” Ginny shook her head, “he was just asking." She turned around to look at
Draco.


Draco took a few steps towards Ginny so that he was in front of her, "I had an alright time
with you tonight, Weasley. Surely we will do it again, sometime?"


Ginny blushed and nodded, "Believe it or not, I enjoyed myself too. It would be nice to get
to know you more."


"I'll owl you sometime. And I really will owl you, unlike *someone* I
know."

Ginny laughed, "Oh, Shut up."

Draco smirked and kissed Ginny on the cheek, “I better get going," He said and made his way to
the door. "I'll see you soon."

Ginny watched him as he walked to his car and drove off; she looked at the house to the right of
hers and looked away but did a double take. *'What the fuck was that?’* Ginny blinked, she
must have been seeing thins, ‘Y*ou did not just see a pair of red eyes staring out the window
alright? You’re just hallucinating.'*

She closed the door and walked off into her room.

~*~



Draco woke up early the next morning; he took a shower, got dressed and then ate breakfast. He
checked his watch and saw that it was 10:30, "Time to get Skylar." He said to
himself.

He walked to the fire place that was in the library, grabbed some floo powder, and stepped into the
flames. "J & J's White Rose!"

Seconds later he was on the floor of Percy's living room. "Hullo Draco," Penelope
said as she helped him up.

"Hi, thanks. How are you?"

"As good as you can be when you have about eight children running around your
house."

"I hope Skylar wasn't a problem."

"Oh no, she's just the sweetest little thing!”


Draco heard a stampede of footsteps on the next floor, "That’ll be the children now."
Draco turned to look at Percy who entered from a different room. "Morning Draco."

"Good morning Percy."

"Daddy, Daddy!" Draco saw Skylar running into the room.

"Hello." Draco said as he picked her up and kissed her on the cheek, “Do you have your
things ready?"

She nodded, "It’s up stairs."

"Run and get it then." He put her down and she was off. When Skylar came back Draco put
her bag strap over his shoulder and took her hand in his. “Thank you again, Penelope.”

“Your welcome, Bye Skylar!” Penelope said as they walked towards the fire.

Draco saw the floo pot, grabbed some powder and yelled, “Malfoy Manor!”

Chapter six, a lot shorter, I know. But the last time I wrote it I had this whole swimming
incident which didn’t fit with my new Draco, so I took that out, if it was in it would have been…19
pages, I think. And it is now only nine. Also from time to time when D/G Are alone together and
Skylar is at someone’s house I will show a little of what Skylar is doing, because there’s so many
fun things that can happen with her! I love doing little kid stories, maybe I could do happily
married D/G Fic! This is all for now, Thanks to everyone for reviewing again!

I made a mailing list, so if you want to know when I update, join it!

7. Chapter Six: Say It Aint So

**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! It seemed very wrong when I
wrote, and sorry. This chapter is very important to the fic, and I didn’t know exactly how to
change it for it to fit this one…so sorry if Draco’s too OOC. I say this a lot though, heh! I
haven’t exactly gotten Draco’s character down pact (In my opinion). Petunia said this was good, and
I trust her so I’m going with her opinion! =P

I made a mailing list, so if you want to know when I update, join it…really! Not many people
have…I only e-mail when I update this fic, never any other time!

**Thats** **So raven**

**Chapter Seven: Desperation**

Draco looked at Ginny as though she had grown a second head, he had forgotten to breath. Nirvana
walked over to him and slapped him on the back, "Breathe Draco! Breathe!"

Draco took a shuddering breath, "Ginny are you sure? Did you check the other
rooms?"

"Yes I'm fucking sure Draco. I looked in my room, the bathroom; she is nowhere to be
found!”

"Would you like to me call the police?" Nirvana asked moving towards the phone.

"NO!" Ginny shouted, Nirvana looked at her, shocked. "I mean, I think you should go
home and let us handle this ourselves, thanks for your help though."


"Okay, if you need me, just come over." She opened the door and left.

"Draco what the *hell* are we going to do?"

"We need to go The Burrow and from there we can contact the Ministry. Stay calm," Draco
said, sounding as though he was telling himself, rather than Ginny.


They apperated to The Burrow. No one was in sight.

“They’re probably in their room,” Ginny said as she rushed to the back of the house. She knocked
on the bedroom door, “Mum! Dad!”

Mr. Weasley opened the door, “Ginny? Draco? What brings you two by at this hour?”

Ginny let her hand slip out of Draco’s and ran to Mr. Weasley. She threw herself at her father,
wrapping her let her hand slide out of Draco's and ran to Mr. Weasley. She rapped her hands
around his neck, "Oh Daddy...Daddy, she's gone!" He could not understand her because
of her sobbing.

"What? Draco what is she trying to say?"

Draco sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "Its Skylar, she's gone
missing."

Mrs. Weasley appeared behind her husband, "What!? Are you absolutely sure!?"

Draco nodded, "We wanted to come here first then contact the Ministry."

Molly nodded, and stepped around Arthur, “Let’s get to the fireplace.” Draco, Ginny and Arthur
followed her into the living room. She kneeled in front of the fireplace and threw in a handful of
Floo Powder, "Ministry of Magic, Department of Missing Persons!"


A woman’s head popped into the fireplace, "Hullo, Ministry of Magic, Department of Missing
Persons, this is Margie how can I help you."

" I would like to report a missing child."

Margie took off her glasses that were connected to a necklace, "Well obviously, hence the
name." She said as she stared at Molly as though she were remedial.

"Listen, *Margie*,” Ginny had never heard her mother talk so rudely to a stranger, “this
is no time to be sarcastic, my granddaughter is missing! Now are you going to help me or
not?"

Margie smacked on her gum and rolled her eyes. "Merlin I hate my job. Are you the legal
guardian?"

"No, that would be her parents." Molly turned from the fire and motioned for Ginny and
Draco to come towards her.


"Great, it’s a party." She said being sarcastic again, "If you two don't mind
I'm going to need you to floo here and sign a few papers."

Molly stood up and moved back from the fire place as Margie’s head disappeared into the flames.
Ginny and Draco stepped into the fireplace, “Be careful you two.”

“We will, mum.” Ginny said as Draco grabbed her hand and yelled, “Ministry of Magic Department
of Missing Persons!”


They landed on the floor near Margie’s desk, they stood up, brushed themselves off and took a seat
in the chairs opposite of Margie.


"Hello, your names?”

“Ginny and Draco.”

“Ginny and Draco?" They nodded, "Good, I'll need to get some information and have
you sign these papers to begin a search."

"What do you need to know?" Ginny asked, her face red from her crying.


"What is the child’s name?"

"Skylar Malfoy," Draco told her

"A detailed description of her.”

“Red hair, grey eyes…”

“That is hardly detailed.”

Draco and Ginny both glared at Margie, “Would you rather have a picture of her instead?” Draco
reached into his robe pocket and pulled out a picture of Skylar. He kept at least one with
him.

"Thank you,” Margie said, pushing the glasses up the bridge of her nose, “How old is
she?”

"Four.”

"What time, approximately, did you find out that she was gone?"

"Why does that matter? You just need to find her!"


"Calm down, Gin.”


"The reason if you must know, *Mrs. Malfoy*, is so that we can check and see the
apparitions and floo's around that time. That way it’s easier."

"I’d say around 9:45 to 10:00," Draco told her, not bothering to correct her with the
Mrs. Malfoy bit.

“In the morning or evening?”

Ginny’s mouth hung open, “Do you honestly think it would have happened this morning and we would
have just come now!?”

“Mrs. Malfoy, please do control your temper.”

Ginny bit her tongue to prevent herself from saying anything else.


Margie wrote down the given information on a piece of parchment, "All I need you to do is
sign these papers to begin a search." She pushed the paper towards Draco and he signed it, he
passed it to Ginny who signed it with a shaking hand.

"Great, we will contact you as soon as we have any information. Please, do stay
calm."


They stepped into the fireplace again, "The Burrow!"

"Ginny, Draco dear, how did it go?"

“How do you think it went?” Draco snapped. He let go of Ginny and sat on a couch away from the
family, who had gathered while they were at the Ministry. He put his head in his hands. Ginny went
over and put her hand on his shoulder.


"Are you okay Draco?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your eyes are all red...like you’re about to start crying."

He looked away from Ginny, "This is entirely my fault."

Ginny sat down next to him, "Don't say that Draco, it’s no one's fault. You can't
blame yourself."

Draco got angry, "Don't tell me what I can and can't do, if I want to blame it on
myself then I will damn it!" He said loud enough for her to understand that he was angry, but
not so loud as for everyone to hear.

Ginny put her hand on his leg, "Calm down Draco, this isn't your fault."

He shoved her hand away, "It is my fault, you told me that she was scared, and we both know
how Skylar is. I chose to ignore it. It is my fault Gin and don’t try to tell me anything
different."

Ginny stood up, "Draco what are you talking about! None of this is anyone’s fault!" Her
family heard her shouting and turned to look at the two.

He stepped away from her and stormed to the front door.

“I KNOW this is my fault!” he yelled. Without a backwards glance at Ginny he left, slamming the
door on his way.


Ginny looked at her brothers and sisters-in-law who were staring her, wondering what happened.
“I’m sorry.” She turned away from them and ran to her room.

Draco walked up the dirt road from The Burrow, kicking the pathway in anger.

"This is entirely your fault Malfoy," Draco said to himself.
*
'No it’s not, it could have happened to anyone.'*

"But it didn't happen to just anyone, it happened to me!"

*’She’ll be fine.'
* "I suppose I wasn't a good enough father."

*'You are a great father Draco. Better than the one you had. All you need to do is start
looking for her yourself. Tell Ginny you know where she is, and then Ginny won't hate you
anymore.'
* "She never said she hated me, but I get your point." Draco continued talking
to himself.


He walked to the end of the road before apparating home, going to his office where a nice bottle
of Fire whisky waited for him.


~*~



Ginny was lying on her bed when someone knocked on the door, "Come in!"

The door opened – it was Ron. The bed squeaked as he sat down on it next to her, "You alright
Gin?"

Ginny stared at him, blankly, "What do you think? My daughter is gone, and Draco is blaming
himself for everything!”


Ron leaned over and hugged Ginny, "I'm surprised at how calm you’re being, and
don't worry about Draco, he'll come around sooner or later."

Ginny looked Ron in the eyes, "But that’s it, I need him here with me, I don't know if I
can do it with out him."

"Just know that I'll always be here for you, Gin. No matter what, I love you."

"I love you too Ron. But right now I need to be alone."

Ron nodded and got off the bed, "That is perfectly understandable," He kissed Ginny on
the forehead and left her room.

~*~


Ginny was sitting in the living room with her mum when someone knocked on the door. Her mum
stood to answer it, “Draco? Are you alright? You look terrible, come in, come in.” She moved to the
side and Draco stepped into the house.


Ginny got up from the couch and ran towards Draco, "Oh Draco, you had me so worried!"
She hugged him. Draco hugged her for a second and then pushed her off of him. "Not again
Draco...no..."

"I have some news to tell you about Skylar."

"Yes?"

"I think I know who has her.” Draco said and began to explain his whole idea. About how
certain things didn’t piece together.


"That makes sense. But shouldn't we get help from the Ministry?"

"No! We don't need their bloody help; if they aren't helping us now then...obviously
they can’t be bothered."

"Fine...Draco you don’t look well." She slid the back of her hand down his cheek.

"No bloody wonder, I haven’t had any sleep in five fucking days!" His eyes were red, and
he looked paler then normal and his hair was dirty and untidy.

"And you think I have? Why don’t you stop feeling sorry for yourself and think about getting
our daughter back!"

"I am not feeling sorry for myself; you asked a damn question so I answered it for
you."

This was new to Ginny and Draco; they had never got into an argument before, just minor
disagreements.


"Both of you stop it!" Molly intervened, "I will not have that language being
used in my house!” She shook her finger at them, “All you need to worry about now is getting Skylar
back as soon as you can. Whether it is, today, or right now, just get her back.”


Draco nodded and looked away from Ginny, "I think we should do it this
Saturday."


"You two need to prepare, or whatever is you need to do. Do try and get some sleep Draco.
If you would like, you could always stay here." Molly offered.



"Thanks but no thanks.” Draco looked at Ginny to see if she had anything to say about him
choosing Saturday, January 29th, his birthday. She said nothing and he shrugged, “See
you Saturday.”


***Saturday*

**

Draco arrived at The Burrow around 4:30.

"Happy Birthday Draco," Molly said as she opened the door. She gave him a present.

Ginny walked down the stairs with a black robe on, "Happy Birthday," She too gave him a
present.

"You actually remembered.”

“Of course I did, Draco.”

"Let’s get going.” Draco said.

“Where is this place that we are going anyways?”

Draco held her hand, “Don’t worry about it.” He apperated them to a manor that Ginny didn’t
recognize.

When they arrived at the place Ginny was shocked. She squeezed Draco’s hand, she looked at the
table they stood in front of. One person sat at either end, and Skylar was seated in the middle,
not wearing the white night gown Ginny had put her in, but a dark blue dress.

"Mummy!" She yelled.

Ginny began to move towards Skylar but within the blink of an eye the two people were standing in
front of Draco and her.

"Bryant?" Ginny said.

"Nirvana?" Draco spoke at the same time as Ginny.

**Chapter Eight: The Usual Suspect**

Nirvana let out a low, dry laugh. "Yes, yes."

Ginny looked at her, shocked, “What? How? *Why*!?”

"Ginny dear, Draco love," Nirvana began, "Why don't you come join us for
dinner?"


"We'd rather not...thank you though." Draco said never forgetting his
manners.


“I suggest you sit down. Or will we have to resort to unnecessary tactics.”

Ginny looked at Draco and shrugged as she walked towards a chair on the side of Skylar, Draco
taking a seat on the other side. Skylar smiled at both of her parents as Ginny leaned over and
kissed her on the cheek, “Are you okay, love?”

Skylar nodded, “I missed you mummy.”

“I missed you too.”


"What put you two up to this? Is it money that you want?” Draco asked.


"Answers will come soon enough, now eat some food. I can assure you its going to be a
*long* night," Bryan said motioning to their plates, "Or maybe even week, or month.
Who knows?"


Ginny and Draco stared at the food, "Go on Mummy its good food." Skylar said smiling
at them.


"Skylar...are you sure you’re alright?" Draco asked.


She only nodded and ate some Macaroni. "Have you done anything to our daughter?" Ginny
asked Bryant and Nirvana who were now seated.


Bryant sighed and rolled his eyes, “There has been no harm inflicted upon Skylar."


"As for you, we can’t say the same. Stupefy! Stupefy!" Nirvana yelled, pointing her
wand at both of them.

“Mummy!” Skylar screamed at seeing her parents stiff bodies laying on the ground.


Bryant slapped a hand on his forehead, "Ana! You weren't supposed to do that
yet!"

"I'm sorry! I'm new at this whole being evil and taking over the world thing!”


Bryant sighed, "Give me your wand."


"Why? You’re just a half blood. You don't even deserve a wand."


"Give me your damn wand, Nirvana!" Bryant was getting angry.


Skylar looked at her parents who were on the floor and got out of her chair. She shook her
mother, “Mummy! Wake up, we have to leave now!”

Nirvana threw her wand across the table at Bryant and he stood up. He pointed his wand at her
and shouted, "Petrificus Totalus!"


Her body went stiff and she slid off of her chair under the table.


*************

Draco let out a low moan and rubbed his eyes. He couldn't see anything, he blinked a few
more times, letting his pupils adjust to the darkness, yet still registered.

He felt the ground by him for someone else when his hands cam in contact with something.
“Ginny?”


”Obviously, who else would it be?” Before Draco had the chance to respond Ginny spoke again, “Do
you still have your wand? I believe mine was taken from me.” She dug in her robe pockets but felt
nothing.

"If yours was taken away, what makes you think I have mine?"


"You’re a Malfoy; slick and cunning." Ginny became skeptical when she heard the zipper
of Draco’s trousers. “What are you doing?”

“I’m getting my wand, you dunce.”

"Don't call me a dunce! Why is your wand in your trousers?"


"Because if someone were to search me for it, they would think it was a…well…you know what
I’m trying to say.”


"No, Draco, I don't. I'm a dunce remember?" Ginny joked.


Draco chose to ignore her and instead pointed his wand at the ceiling and said, "*Lumos
Solem*." A bright white light came out the tip his wand, and reflected off the ceiling,
lighting up the tiny room they were in. and went up to the ceiling.


"How are we going to get out of here?"


"Do you just assume I know everything?”

“You were supposed to be the brains of this operation.”

Draco glared at Ginny before walking towards the door. The room was dark again as Draco said,
“Alohamora.” Nothing happened, "They've got a locking charm on it."


"Do a destruction spell."


"Okay, stand back," Draco ordered.

"*Destructo*!" The door shattered, the pieces flying outwards.


Draco looked to his left and saw that it was a dead end. The only way to go was right. They took
a right and walked down a long hall until they came to two oak doors. Draco pushed them open and
walked through. They were in a sitting room of some sort.

“What idiots, you’d think they at least lock their prisoners in a place separate from the rest
of their house.”


“And you have personal experience in this area?”

Draco turned around to glare at her, again, yet he said nothing. They continued on their way
through the house until they reached black doors, with voices coming from behind them.

“How are we going to get in there without them seeing us!?”

“Invisibility spells?” Draco suggested.

“You know how to do those? I thought only Aurors and a few other people could do those.”

“Are you forgetting who I am…and who my father is?” whispered Ginny.

Draco said an incantation and looked down at his hands to make sure he could not see them. Ginny
grinned, “This is wicked.”

Draco rolled his eyes, “Your turn. How are we going to get in there, genius?”

“How should I know? You’re the Slytherin.”

Draco sighed, “Apperate.”

“They’ll hear the pop.”

“The spell prevents them from hearing it.”

“Fine.” Ginny closed her eyes and apperated to the other side of the wall, which she guessed to
be the same one they were in last night.

She opened her eyes to see Nirvana and Bryant standing over Skylar, clad in black robes. Skylar
was on the floor, staring at a something which Draco and Ginny both could not see.

Nirvana crouched down and said to Skylar, "Come on sweetie concentrate for us."


Draco took a step towards Skylar but stopped when Bryant looked directly at him. Before they had
time to move Bryant was in front of them, his hands on their throats; the spell had worn off.

Nirvana stood up, pulling Skylar with her.


"How did you two get out?"


"Anyone could have escaped from that excuse for a dungeon." Draco said, his face
growing red from the pressure around his neck.


"I suggest you stop being sarcastic if you don’t want anything to happen to your
daughter."


"You won't hurt her because; obviously you need her for something." Ginny said
prying at his hand around her throat.


"What do you need Skylar for, anyhow?”


Bryant sighed, “Well...with you both being her parents I suppose you have the right to
know."

"Yes we do."


Bryant let out a dry laugh and took his hand off their throats. He walked towards the right
corner of the room and sat in a black chair. "Hmm...Where to start?" Bryant leaned back
in his chair and put his feet up on the desk. “Neither of you really know who I am…”

Draco raised an eyebrow, “That has to be the worst start to an explanation I have ever
heard.”

“Did I ask for your comments, Malfoy?” Draco smirked and let Bryant continue, “I must say that
the both of you knew my father very well before his untimely death.”

Ginny looked over to Draco who shrugged, “My father, was the one and only, Lord Voldemort.”

Ginny looked to her left and right, waiting for someone to jump out and say that he was joking.
When no one did she began laughing, hysterically.

“What, may I ask, are you laughing at?” Bryant asked, standing up to look at her as she doubled
over in laughter.

“Who would sleep with Vol-Vol-Voldemort!” She said through her giggles, which were turning into
loud guffaws.

“You saw him when he was sixteen, he was quite the charmer, eh, Virginia?” Bryant asked as Draco
frowned at Ginny.

Ginny stopped laughing and looked up at Bryant, “I still don’t believe you.”

Bryant smirked and rolled back his left sleeve. He showed Ginny the Dark Mark, causing her to
gasp, “Do you believe me now?”

“Anyone could get the Dark Mark!”

‘The one that I bear has been there since birth.”

Ginny stood up straight and crossed her arms over her chest, “That still gives me no reason to
believe you.”

“Whether you believe me or not, I am the only heir of Lord Voldemort.”

Draco sighed, “Could we *please* get on with why you took Skylar. Ginny, if the bloke says
that Voldemort is his father, just let it be.”

Bryant nodded and turned to look at Draco, “About Skylar…there is no easy way to tell you this
but…as long as I am alive, a part of me will be with her.”

"How so?” Ginny asked, glancing at Skylar, who was still standing next to Nirvana.


"If you don’t interrupt me, this will be over with, much sooner." Bryant sat down and
leaned back in the chair and put his feet on the desk again.


"Skylar was born on August 30th, 1999, correct?" Ginny and Draco both
nodded, "In the eight month, a child will be born. This child would have the power to become
the greatest wizard of our time. Even though the Dark Lord has vanished, another can rise. What
would make this child so easy to find is that, it would be born of Fire and Ice.” Bryant did a
trumpet sound, "Ta-da, Skylar!

"The only reason I went out with you, Virginia, was to be closer to Skylar. Well…that and I
thought you’d be a good shag.” Ginny gasped and Draco glared at Bryant, “But you had to be a
Gryffindor and have morals.” He put his feet on the floor and rested his arms on the table so I
could be closer to her. “The first five years of their life are crucial, if they will live up to
have full potential."

"Their, they?” Draco questioned.

"Yes they….super-wizards if you will. There are three that I know of; Skylar, myself and that
great prat Dumbledore.” Bryant looked over to Skylar and smiled sweetly, “Every time I went to your
house, Virginia, I would do simple mind spells on Skylar. You’ve noticed how clever she is?” Ginny
and Draco nodded, “Surely you didn’t think it was down to your tutoring?”


Ginny glared at him as he laughed, "There is no way to sop her from receiving her powers.
Even if I am killed, by the age of 13 or 14 she will be able to do anything she wants."

"If she's getting her powers, what do you want her for?"


"To speed up the process, of course. Two super-wizards together would just be madness…chaos
would ensue!"

"Where does Nirvana fit into this plan?" Ginny asked.

"Well I figured I needed to be closer to you. I asked for her help…and she agreed."

"Nirvana why would you do that?” Ginny asked, turning to her neighbor.


Nirvana sighed and dropped Skylar’s hand, "I hate being at the bottom of anything. I can
not deny that my heart has desired to be on top of the wizarding world." The room went dark
and there was a green glow surrounding Nirvana, "For in place of a Dark Lord you will have a
Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the see, stronger than the
foundations of the earth! All shall love me and despair." The light flickered off of her and
the room was again lit by candles. (A/N: From Lord Of The Rings, Heh, slight humor, I couldn’t help
myself!)


Bryant put his head in his hands, "Damn it Nirvana, will you cut the Lord of the Rings
shit!?"

"Don't use that language around Skylar!" Ginny shouted, earning a glare from
Bryant.


"I shall diminish into the west corridor." Nirvana said and began to leave the
room.


Bryant opened a desk drawer and pulled out a knife, though Nirvana got out just before the knife
came in contact with her back.


"Damn that woman. I can’t stand her."


Ginny looked over at Skylar who was left standing by herself. Skylar looked at Bryant before
running to her mother.

Bryant chuckled and shook his head, “Silly girls.”

"Bryant, why couldn’t you have found some other *'super-wizard'* to get to do
this?" Draco asked.

"You do not address me as Bryant, Malfoy. It's Lord Voldemort."

"I wouldn’t call you Lord if my life depended on it. I do not worship the ground you walk
on…you aren’t even a Lord! No one knows you exist, and you know what…I pity you."

"You pity me?" Draco nodded, "Is that so…why?"


"Your father was a half blood, that must have been terrible. And here you are, following in
his footsteps, preparing to kill Mudbloods. None of it makes any sense, your not worthy of hate,
only pity.”


"You'll wish you never said that." Bryant stood and pulled out his wand from his
robe pocket; "Avada Kedav-" Before he could finish, the same killing curse was shouted
from the entrance door.


Ginny stepped in front of Skylar as she turned around to see Nirvana entering the room, eyes
blazing red.

Draco turned from staring at Bryant’s lifeless body to see Nirvana making her way towards them.
Draco took a step in front of both Skylar and Ginny.

"Draco do something." Ginny whispered, gripping on the back of his robe.


"Do what? Kill her?"


"No, you can’t go to Azkaban! Stun her…body bind!"


Draco took out his wand, "Petrificus Totalus!" Nirvana's body went stiff and she
fell to the floor.

"What do we do with their bodies?" Ginny asked moving forward a little.

"Contact the Aurors some how and they'll come and get them."

Ginny nodded, "The fire place!" Ginny went to the fire place, found some floo powder and
used to contact the Aurors.


Within minutes Aurors were at the manor. “Hello Ms. Weasley, thank you for contacting us. You
three should get home, we will hand everything else. If we need you for questioning, we’ll owl
you.”

Ginny and Draco nodded. Draco picked up Skylar, "Come on, let's leave this place."
Skylar wrapped her arms around Draco's neck and hugged him tightly.

“I never thought I would use such a simple spell to stop a mad woman.”


Ginny chuckled and stepped into the fireplace first, Draco following after, "The
Burrow!"


"Oh Ginny, dear, thank heavens you’re safe!" Molly screamed as she kissed them each on
the cheek.


Ginny said, "How long have we been gone?”

“Today would be the third day.”

Ginny nodded, “Well, it's great to be back.” Ginny took Skylar from Draco’s arms and walked
up to her room


"Thank you again, Mrs. Weasley." Draco said, his grey eyes shining with something that
Molly couldn’t put her finger on. He watched Ginny go up the stairs, as a million thoughts ran
through his head.


“Before I forget,” Molly moved towards the couch which held quite a few presents, “These are for
you. From the family.”

Draco smiled, “Thank you.” Draco put a shrinking spell on the presents and put them away in his
robe pocket. "I've got to talk to Ginny." Molly nodded, and Draco turned around and
walked up to Ginny’s room.

"Hey Gin." He sat on her bed by a sleeping Skylar, bending down he placed a soft kiss on
her cheek. Draco sat up straight and tried to avoid Ginny’s gaze, "I need to talk to
you."


Ginny eyed him suspiciously, "Okay…talk?"


"Outside," Draco said, making Ginny feel uncomfortable and worried.


She stood up and began to leave the room. Not wanting to leave Skylar alone he picked her up and
carried her to the couch by Molly. “Where are you two going?”

“Outside Mum, we’ll be back soon.”

“Alright, be careful.”

Ginny went outside, Draco following behind her. She stopped walking and leaned against the pig
pen, “Talk.”


Draco ran a hand through his hair, “Gin…after everything that’s happened I…Right now I,” Draco
sighed and stopped talking to gather his thoughts. “Ginny, I don’t think I can do this right
now.”


"Do what?"


"This…you, me…us. We’ve been dating for just five months and already I feel things that a
Malfoy is not supposed to. I need time to sort some things out.”

"Draco you can't do this! No, you can't we need you. I need you!" She stood up
straight and crossed her arms over her chest.


“You can’t be selfish, Weasley.”

“So it’s Weasley again?”

Draco looked away from her, “Don’t make this any harder than it already is.”

“So that’s it? You’re just going to leave me and Skylar?”

“Ginn-“

Before Draco could finish, Ginny cut him off, “You’re a cold, bitter, nasty, and heartless
bastard.” Ginny slapped him and stalked(Is this the right word?) towards the house, tears coming
out of her eyes.

”For fucks sake!” He yelled. Draco didn’t even bother to soothe his stinging cheek before aperating
home.

-------------------------------------

**Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except the plot and other things that you don’t recognize!**

**The Dragon’s Egg**

**Thats** **So Raven**

**Chapter Nine: Happy Birthday, Gin**

Draco hadn’t spoken to Ginny, or anyone for that matter, in three weeks. He sat at his desk and
wrote a letter to Ginny and sent it off with his owl. He looked over at his couch and saw his
unopened presents.

He began to open them; Ginny’s present was a picture of him, Skylar and her. On the back it
said, “Our family, forever and always.”

The last present was a card from Ron, wishing him a Happy Birthday and telling him not to hurt
Ginny…too late!

~*~

Ginny woke up to the sound of and owl tapping her window. She opened her window and let it in.
She took the letter off its extended leg and it flew off.

*I left my baby girl a message,*

*Saying I won’t be coming home*

*I’d rather be alone*

*You didn’t fully understand me*

*Coz I’d rather leave than to cheat*

*If you give me some times*

*I can be the man you need*

*But there’s a lot of lust inside of me*

*And we’ve been together since our teenage years*

*I really don’t mean to hurt you*

*But I need sometime*

*To be alone*

*But when you love someone*

*You just don’t treat them bad*

*Oh how I feel so sad*

*Now that I want to leave*

*And she’s crying her heart to me*

*“How could you let this be?”*

*I just need time to see*

*Where I want to be*

*Never did I imagine*

*That you would play a major part*

*In a decision that’s so hard*

*Do I leave? Do I stay? Do I go?*

*I think about my life*

*And what matters to me the most*

*Gin the love that we share is real*

*But in time your heart will heal*

*I’m not saying I’m gone but I*

*Have to find what life is like*

*With out you.*

A small tear fell down Ginny’s cheek she grabbed a jacket and stomped off downstairs.

“Morning Gin,” Ron said

Ginny crumbled the parchment in her hand, “Morning this!” She threw the parchment at Ron and he
caught it before it could hit him in the face.

“Gin what’s wr…”

She went outside slamming the door on her way.

Ron opened the parchment and read it. He let out a grumble and with a faint *pop* apparated.

He reappeared in front of a house and rang the door bell.

“Hullo, Ron.”

“Don’t ‘Hullo, Ron,’ me *Malfoy*!”

Ron pushed passed Draco and walked into the house, “What did I do?” Draco closed the door and
sat on the couch.

“What did you do!?” Ron yelled, “I told you not to hurt her!”

“Weasley, I’ve got other things to deal with…and I still can’t forgive myself.”

“Forgive yourself for what!?”

“Letting all of this happen to Skylar. I can’t be with Ginny okay? I just can’t!”

“Why can’t you be with her? No one is stopping you, but yourself!”

“Because this happened while I was with Ginny, if I’m with her again…something else may
happen.”

“Do you love her?”

“What?” Draco looked up at Ron, who was in front of the coffee table looking down at him.

“Do you love her!?”

Draco stood up and walked next to Ron, “Yes I love her, but that doesn’t matter!”

“If you love her, like you say you do, then that is all that should matter. What the hell is
wrong with you!?” Ron lowered his voice, “Really Malfoy.”

Draco sighed, “I’m just…” He turned around, his back facing Ron, “Scared.”

Ron stared at him; he smacked him in the back of his head, “What in the bloody hell are you
scared of?”

Draco spun around and glared at Ron as he put his hand on the back of his head, “You right
now!”

Ron rolled his eyes, “Why don’t you just ask her to marry you ?” Ron never thought he would ever
say that to Draco Malfoy about his baby sister.

“Yeah, I should…shouldn’t I?”

Ron smiled, thinking he was getting somewhere, “Yes you should!”

“But I can’t.”

Ron rubbed his temple, “I’ve got a wife to get home to. Malfoy just think about it. If you love
her, and want to spend the rest of your life with her, ask her. But if you’d rather see her marry
someone else, and Skylar have a step father…” Ron shrugged, “It’s up to you.”

Draco nodded, “Since when is everyone’s life in my hands?”

Ron shrugged again before apparating home.

Draco did as Ron suggested and thought about it. He waited a few days before going to Ginny’s
house.

He apperated outside her front door and knocked. No one answered the first time, so he knocked
again. This time it opened.

“Sorry, I was in the middle of a shower.” Ginny said with her head down so she could wrap a
towel around her wet hair.

“It’s quite alright.” Ginny’s head snapped up at the sound of Draco’s voice.

“What are *you* doing here?”

“I need to talk to you and see Skylar.”

“Come on in,” Ginny said with a sigh, “Skylar’s upstairs brushing her teeth. I’ll send her
down.” She turned around and walked down the hall and up the stairs.

A few minutes later Skylar came running down the hall, “Daddy!” She jumped onto Draco’s lap who
was now sitting on the couch.

He hugged her, “Hello Sky.”

“Where have you been?” Skylar said looking up at him, frowning.

“I had some things that I needed to sort out. Sorry I didn’t come to visit you.”

Ginny walked down the stairs fully dressed with her wet hair in a pony-tail. She had on black
jogging trousers and a red shirt.

“Sky, why don’t you go and get a bag ready so you can come to my house?”

Skylar smiled, hopped off his lap and ran back up stairs.

Ginny sat down on the sofa across from Draco.

“Gin…I’m sorry.” Draco said looking at her.

Ginny let out a dry laugh, “You’re sorry? That’s it?”

“I’m sorry for breaking up with you the way I did. I didn’t intend on hurting you.”

“It doesn’t matter what you didn’t *intend* on doing, it’s what you *did*.”

“I really am sorry, Gin. How can I get you to see that I am?”

“I want to forgive you so much Draco, but…what if I just get hurt again.”

“I swear to you…I would never do anything to hurt you, intentionally, and for what I did, I am
sorry and I promise it will never happen again.”

“You can’t promise for something like that not to happen again. Today you’re asking for my
forgiveness, tomorrow you could meet some woman who you think is better than me, and would prefer
dating her!”

Draco stood and moved to sit down next to Ginny. He took her hands in his, “Virginia, there is
no woman in this world that I would rather be with than you. You and Skylar are the best thing that
has ever happened to me. Please don’t take that away from me.”

Ginny stared at Draco, wanting to accept this, but not saying anything. “How about I take you
out to dinner this weekend?”

“What’s today?”

“Tuesday, February 2,” Draco told her.

“This is just dinner, remember that.”

Draco smiled a nodded, “It’s a start though. I’ll pick you up at 6 on Saturday.” He kissed the
top of her head and walked upstairs to get Skylar.

~*~

Draco and Ginny went on continuous dates, trying to get things back to the way they were. As of
now, they had a pretty steady relationship, everything wasn’t back to normal, but life was
good.

Tonight was Ginny’s birthday and Draco decided to take her out to Covent Garden.

**~Ginny’s*Birthday~**

Ginny was having a good time, shopping in the different shops. As they exited a hat store she
saw a man in a funny black suit, and a black top hat.

“Oh Draco lets go over there!” Ginny pointed at the man. “Come on!” She grabbed his arm and
pulled him towards the small stage. She was staring at the man as he did something with his
hands.

Draco looked up at the man and winked. The man grinned and finished his trick. When they got to
the stage the man said, “And for my next trick I will need volunteers from the audience.”

“Oh! Draco this is a magician! My dad told me all about them!”

“Aye, how about you two?” He looked at Draco and Ginny. Ginny grinned and walked around to the
stairs of the stage, Draco followed her up.

Ginny blushed, she was rather nervous being in front of a large group of people. She looked more
at the magician and thought the face looked familiar, but couldn’t tell because of the hat and the
large moustache.

The magician clapped his hands together and a deck of cards appeared. “Pick a card, any card.”
He held the deck of cards towards Ginny.

She randomly picked a card and looked at it, “Show it to the audience, but not this young man or
me,” the magician warned. “Remember that card okay?” Ginny nodded, “Now place it back in the deck.”
Ginny put the card into the deck.

The magician clapped a hand onto the deck and it disappeared again. “Young sir if you would be
so kind as to reach into your back pocket.” Draco raised an eyebrow but reached into his back
pocket anyway. He pulled out a card and showed it to Ginny, “Is that your card?”

Ginny grinned from ear to ear and nodded, “The Queen of Hearts, yep!” Everyone in the
medium-sized audience applauded.

Once the applause died down Draco discarded the card and took both of Ginny’s hands in his,
“Ginny, we’ve known each other for most of our short lives and we haven’t even been seeing each
other for a full year yet.” The magician took a few steps back, leaving Ginny and Draco standing,
center stage. “I know to some that may seem like a short time, but we have our past.” Ginny grinned
at Draco and giggled.

“I want you to know that I love you with my entire being.” Draco got down on one knee, pulled a
box out of his pocket and opened it up to reveal a 14 kt diamond ring, and Ginny brought her right
hand up to her face to wipe away a tear. “What I’m trying to say is that you are the Queen of my
Heart. Virginia Weasley will you make me the happiest man alive and become my wife?”

Ginny had tears streaming down her face and the audience stared in anticipation. Ginny looked
into Draco’s eyes before nearly shouting, “Yes, yes, yes!” The crowd gave them another round of
applause. Draco slid the ring onto her finger; stood up wiped the tears anyway and kissed her,
hard. Their lips were connected for what seemed like an eternity but was really thirty seconds or
so.

When they pulled apart Draco hugged her, “I love you Ginny.” He kissed her on the cheek and
pulled back.

“I love you too.” She stepped back and marveled at her new engagement ring. “I love this too. Do
you think I should write with my left hand now so everyone can see it?” she joked. Ginny turned to
look at the magician as he took off his hat and removed the moustache, “Ron!”

“Congrats Gin!” Ron gave her a hug.

“Thanks, you bugger. I didn’t know you were in on this.”

“If you knew I was in, it wouldn’t have been a surprise now would it?” Ron said patting the top
of her head.

“So, Draco…what are we doing next?”

Draco held her left hand, “Whatever you want Gin, whatever you want.”

“Whatever I want?” Ginny asked with an evil grin.

“Except elope,” Draco turned Ginny so she was facing him and he put his hands on her hips.

Ginny sighed, “Okay I really don’t know what I want to do. I just feel like shouting to the
world that I’m engaged to the most handsome man in all of Europe.”

“Well, almost everyone here at this moment knows that we are engaged.” Ginny turned to look at
the forgotten crowd and grinned.

“Thank you!” She shouted to them as they told her congratulations.

“Hey Gin, Draco, Congrats again but I have to go now.” Ron kissed Ginny and nodded towards Draco
before turning to walk leave.

“Hey Ron, hold on a minute,” Draco gave Ginny a quick kiss and caught up with Ron. “I know we
don’t have plans for the wedding or anything yet, but would you be my best man?” Ron looked at him
and grinned.

“Of course I will.” Ron then shook his head, “Who would have thought? Ronald Bilius Weasley,
being the best man at Draco Malfoy’s wedding?”

Draco immediately began laughing, “Bilius!”

“Well, what’s your middle name!?”

“Xavier, a lot better than Bilius.”

“At least my name doesn’t start with least used letter of the alphabet.”

“Your middle name, sounds like a disease you would catch from kissing a toad!”

Ron glared at Draco, “I’ll take my leave now.” Ron felt a tug at his waist and jumped back.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Ron began to breathe really quickly, “Hermione…baby…now!”

“How do you know?”

“Spell,” Ron whispered, leaning on the nearest thing he could touch, “Sharp pains! Don’t ask
questions! We have to get to the hospital now!”

“Ginny!” Draco yelled at Ginny who was sitting on the edge of the stage, staring at her
ring.

“Yes.”

“Hermione’s going into labor. We have to go now!”

Ginny’s eyes opened wide in surprise and she hopped off the stage, following them as they made
their way out of the mall. “We have to apperate!”

“There are Muggle’s all around us, do you realize how big a fine we could get!?”

“Just do it!” Ron yelled, as he closed his eyes and apperated to St. Mungo’s, Draco and Ginny
following.

They arrived in the waiting room; Ron ran to the Front Desk and asked, “Where is the delivery
room?”

“Fourth floor, third door on you right. Mr. Weasley.” Ron raised an eyebrow, “You’ve been
expected.”

They all found the stairs and ran up to the fourth floor, then to the third door on their right.
Ron stopped to catch his breath and started to turn to the door knob but was stopped by a nurse
holding out a blue suit of some sort.

“You are required to put these on. All three of you,” She handed them the suits and they ran
into the bathrooms to change.

They all came out at the same time and ran back to the third door. “Ready?”

“Just hurry and go in before Harry and Hermione both kill me!” Ron pushed the door open.

They all walked in and heard an ear piercing scream. “Hermione are you okay?” Ron asked.

“Look at me Ron. Does it look like I’m okay?” She shouted.

“Sorry,” He walked to the side of the bed by Harry and said to him, “Harry I’ll kill you for
putting that spell on me!”

“It was the only way I could be sure that you knew.”

“Harry get me a god dammed potion!” Hermione yelled.

“Ginny!” Harry screamed as Hermione squeezed his hand. Ginny made her way through all the
commotion to Harry, “Get a pain reliever potion for Hermione.”

Ginny nodded and left the room.

Ron was handed a wet towel by one of the nurses, “What do I do with this.”

“Wipe the perspiration off my forehead you idiot!” Hermione glared at him as she felt another
contraction.

“Sorry Hermione.” Ron began to pat her face in various wet spots.

“Malfoy don’t just stand there like a dope! Help me!” Hermione yelled and then pushed as the
doctor told her to.

“What do you need me to do?” Draco asked.

“I swear men are so fucking stupid!” Hermione yelled again.

That was the first time Draco had ever heard Hermione swear. He went to the opposite side of the
bed and held Hermione’s hand.

If Lucius could see him now, in a hospital bedroom with Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Hermione
Mudblood Granger, and his fiancé, Ginny Weasley. At least he wasn’t there to disown him.

“We don’t mean to be stupid, but none of us have been through this before.”

“What about Skylar’s birth?”

Draco’s mouth got dry, but thankfully the doctor chose now to speak,“Come on Hermione, give me
another push.” The

Hermione pushed and squeezed Draco’s and Harry’s hand. If possible, Draco’s face got paler and
Harry’s grew red.

“I don’t know how Ginny put up with this! She was younger than me, and still developing.”

A look of sorrow flickered through Draco’s eyes but disappeared as he looked up to see Ginny
enter the room with a potion.

“I’ve got it Hermione!”

“Tell us Ginny, how you got through this.”

“Keep thinking of the wonderful child you’ll be having and everything you think he or she may be
interested in. Just concentrate on happy thoughts.”

“Now Hermione, the baby is ready to come out. We are going to have to go through a series of
pushes, just as we practiced before.”

Hermione nodded, “Alright.”

“Push,” The Doctor said and Hermione gave a big push and began breathing in and out very
quickly.

“Push,” The Doctor yelled again and again and every time Hermione would give a big push.

“I see the head!” The Doctor shouted. “Okay Hermione, we’re almost done!”

Hermione smiled up at Harry, “You know I still love you right?”

Harry nodded and kissed Hermione’s sweaty cheek.

“Push,” The Doctor said until the baby was all the way out.

Once the umbilical cord was cut, the baby was taken and cleaned up before being handed over to
Hermione. “He’s beautiful.” Hermione said as she looked at the crying baby.

A nurse came over to the new parents, “Do you know what you want to name him?” Hermione looked
at Harry.

“How about Harry?”

Harry shook his head, “Not a junior, what about Remus James-Sirius Potter?”

“Harry listen to yourself…that doesn’t sound right and it’s too long, Sirius James Potter?”

Harry smiled, “Yeah………That’s great.”

The nurse began to write “So, Remus James Potter was born on March the 12th at 8:30 in the
night, to Hermione and Harry Potter.”

Harry and Hermione grinned as she said that.

“Harry look!” Hermione said the Sirius had begun to open his eyes; they were the new-born-baby
grey.

Harry picked up the baby and instantly he stopped crying and locked eyes with Harry. Harry
smiled and kissed his son. “I love you, Sirius.”

~*~

Once Draco and Ginny had congratulated Harry and Hermione they walked outside the room, “Gin,
I’m so sorry.”

Ginny took off her gloves and threw them in the bin, “For what?”

“Not being there for you.” He looked at her sadly, “After seeing Hermione, I know you must have
needed someone and I don’t think I can be forgiven for that.”

“Draco you didn’t even know, it’s not your fault.”

“No, no, Gin whatever I can do to make this up to you, just let me know.”

“Nothing as of now, Draco. Let’s just go home and figure out this wedding.”

Draco laughed, “It’s not going to be that easy. We take one night and get the whole thing
planned out?”

Ginny nodded, “Merlin, you have a lot to learn about us female Weasley’s.”

Draco smirked, “I’m not in the mood for learning. I know what I *am* in the mood for
though.” He bent down and placed a chaste kiss on Ginny’s lips. He then scooped her up in his arms
and apperated them to Malfoy Manor

**That’s So Raven**

**Chapter Ten: The Big Day**

Ginny sat on a mahogany bench looking into an exquisite vanity mirror. She pushed one of her
long, curly bangs out of her eye and sighed. *‘Are you sure you want to do this?’*

*“Of course I am. I couldn’t be any more positive!”*

*‘You don’t look like it.’*

Ginny looked into the mirror again. Her coffee brown eyes showing more trouble than she would
ever let people know, making her seem older than her 22 years of age.

She picked up her wand and twirled a piece of her hair around it, she wanted to look
perfect.

She turned around once she heard her dressing room door open, “Hey Gin.” She saw the faces of
Hermione and Luna.

“Hi.” She said facing the mirror once again. She put her elbows on the table, her hands propping
up her face.

“Cheer up Gin. You should be happy! It’s your wedding day.” Hermione and Lunar sat on either
side of Ginny in their lavender colored bridesmaid gowns.

Luna looked over at Ginny, “Pre-marriage dilemmas?” Ginny nodded, “its okay. Hermione and I were
the same way before our weddings.”

“It’s just…I’m not sure if…” Ginny sighed and put her head down on the table, “*Am* I ready
for this?”

“Only you can be sure of that. But…to me it seems like you and Draco are more in love than
anyone I know. Well…anyone that’s not married yet.” Hermione winked at Luna.

“After this I won’t ever be able to look at another man’s body again!” Ginny sat up straight and
looked at her friends.

“Yeah, I thought the same thing. It’s just as if you were dating, but not really.” Ginny raised
and eyebrow at her friend, “It’s alright to look at other guys. I mean…granted they are going to be
everywhere. I’ve even checked out Draco a few times.” Luna joked.

“Hey!” Ginny retorted, poking Luna in the ribs.

“So have I, he has a very nice body. But me, being me I have to say that Harry’s is better of
course.”

“Alright you’re supposed to be helping me! Not telling me about men’s bodies! Come on!”

The door opened again and George’s head popped in, “Gin you need to get out here. They are about
to start.”

“She’ll be out in a minute George!” George nodded and closed the door.


All three women got up from the bench and looked into the mirror, “Gin, you can do this.”

“Yes,” Ginny smiled, “I love him, and he loves me. This is right; everything is going to be
perfect.” Ginny turned around and stared into her friend’s faces, “This is it girls! I’m getting
married!”

Hermione gave Ginny a kiss on the cheek, “We can all get through this.”

Luna kissed her on the other cheek and pulled her veil down over her face, “Together we can do
*anything.*”

Ginny gave both of them a hug as her eyes started to well up, “Thanks you two. I love you so
much.”

“We love you too Gin. Now get out there and go to your man!” They gave her a little shove out
the door.

**~Draco’s Dressing Room~**

Draco ran a comb through his hair to keep it down in front of his face. He didn’t want it all
gelled back today. His dressing room door opened and Ron walked in. “Nice hair, Malfoy. Are you
aiming for the Billy Idol look?”

Draco glared at Ron, who laughed, “So, today’s the big day.”

“Yes,” Draco put the comb down and checked to make sure nothing was on his face.

“Are you ready? It’s a big step.” Ron stood by his side.

“I’ve been waiting for this my whole life.”

“You’ve been waiting to marry my sister your *whole* life?” Ron raised an eyebrow, “Tell
me, friend…what were you thinking all those times you were staring off into space in potions?”

Draco nodded, “How much I wanted to kiss my Gin. To hold her and-“

“Okay, Okay! I shouldn’t have asked.” Draco smirked.

The door opened up, “Draco hurry up you need to go to the altar.”

“Okay Fred!” He yelled over his shoulder.

The door closed and Draco put one the traditional Malfoy Marriage robe, “Well then, I’ll see you
out there Bilius.”

Ron glared at Draco’s back before shoving him into the door.

“I’m going to pretend that didn’t just happen.” Draco stood up straight and took a deep
breath.

~*~

“Gin, you look beautiful,” Her father said as she walked towards him.

“Thank you, daddy.”

“Now Gin, you’re positively sure you want this? No one is forcing you are they?”

Ginny smiled, “No daddy. I’m doing this out of my own free will, I promise.”

Ginny’s stomach flipped as she heard the music begin to play.

She and her father walked arm-in-arm down the isle. Everyone stood as they walked towards the
altar.

Ginny looked up at her husband-to-be. He looked very handsome. His blonde hair was falling down
in front of his face, moving with the soft wind.

*‘I love him.’*

~*~

Skylar had just laid rose petals down the isle and was next to Justin, who was the ring-bearer.
Draco looked at Ginny as she walked with her father up to the altar.

His mouth opened slightly. Her dress was simple enough, strapless and pure white with pristine
lace edging, but on her body, it became one of the most erotic sights his eyes had ever seen. Her
hair was loose and flowing, matching the swishy ending of her gown. She glanced up at him shyly
through her veil as she got closer, and Draco could feel his heart hammering in his chest. Ginny
looked...radiant. His face broke into an amazed smile, and next to him, Ron gave a
snort/growl.


"Pop your eyes back in Malfoy, she's here."

Arthur lifted Ginny’s veil, kissed her on the cheek and shook hands with Draco. Draco and Ginny
smiled at each other and looked expectantly at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore cleared his throat and began speaking, “We are gathered here today to unite Virginia
Weasley and Draco Malfoy in marriage. This celebration is but an outward sign of an inward union of
heart, mind and spirit. This is a celebration of the joining of two souls already attuned to each
other. When such a true bond already exists between a man and a woman, it is fitting that an outer
acknowledgment be made. We are here to bear witness to the entry into the closer relationship of
husband and wife of these beloved friends who are already one in spirit. Who gives this woman to be
married to this man?”

“Her mother and I do.” Arthur said,

“Draco and Virginia, it is this day you take a giant step of courage and commitment to love,
understand and grow. When a commitment this strong is made by two people, the force of that
commitment, of that love, of that courage, reaches out and touches all of us around you, so that
our lives are changed and we share a part of your love. Like a stone dropped in a still pond, the
ripples of the love from this celebration extend and change the world we live in.

“You are now taking into your care and keeping the happiness of the one person in the entire
world whom you love best. You are adding to your life not only the affection of each other, but
also the companionship and blessing of a deep trust as well. You are agreeing to share strength,
responsibilities and to share love.

“It is my personal hope and prayer that those of you who have already taken the vows of marriage
will witness the love of these two people, and as you listen to them share their vows, perhaps it
will strengthen for you the memory of your happy day, and remind you of the meaning of the vows you
yourselves once took.” He looked at Harry, Hermione, Ron and Luna. “Perhaps it will even strengthen
just a little bit the bond of love that has been growing between you, and if any of this should
happen, it would certainly be the greatest gift that Virginia and Draco could offer all of us on
their wedding day.

“Virginia and Draco please take hands.” Ginny gave her flowers to Luna and turned back to face
Draco. He took her hands in his and rubbed her knuckles.

Dumbledore turned to Draco and said, “Draco, do you take this woman to be your wedded wife? Do
you promise before this company that you will love her, honor her, comfort and keep her in sickness
and in health and that forsaking all others for her alone will you perform unto her all of the
duties and respect that a husband graciously bestows upon his wife?”

Draco grinned, “I do.”

Dumbledore smiled and then faced Ginny, “Virginia, do you take this man to be your wedded
husband? Do you promise before this company that you will love him, honor him, comfort and keep him
in sickness and in health and that forsaking all others for him alone will you perform unto him all
of the duties and respect that a wife graciously bestows upon her husband?”

“I do.”

“And now these two have their own vows, which they would like to share.”

Ginny smiled up at Draco and said her vow, “Draco, since we have been together, you have
provided me with strength, security, confidence, honesty, love and plenty of much needed guidance.
Where there has been cold, you have brought warmth; where my life was dark, you have brought light.
In my darkest trouble, in my coldest silence; I looked for you and you were there. You are truly my
knight in shining armor. You may not realize it but you have helped me and saved me in so many ways
and I love you for that. I am honored that you will have me as your wife and I am proud to have you
as my husband. I believe that we were meant to be from the start and I will always love you with
all my heart.”

Draco then said his vow to Ginny, “I, Draco Malfoy, take you Virginia Weasley, to be my wife, my
partner in life and my one true love.I will cherish our friendship and love you today, tomorrow,
and forever.I will trust you and honor you; I will laugh with you and cry with you. I will love you
faithfully, through the best and the worst, through the difficult and the easy. What may come I
will always be there. As I have given you my hand to hold so I give you my life to keep. So help me
God.”

Ginny sniffled and fought back the tears that were begging to be released.

Mrs. Weasley sat in the audience, crying up a storm, her only daughter, the one she loved so
much, was finally getting married.

“Draco, take your ring for Ginny and as you do repeat after me.” Dumbledore told him.

Draco repeated after him. Once done Ginny picked up her solid silver ring for Draco and put it
on his hand, “Draco, my love: With this ring, I thee wed, and say to the world *“This is my
husband, whom I cherish above all others.”* In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Ghost, Amen.”

“Now that you have joined yourselves in holy matrimony, may you strive always to meet this
commitment with the same spirit you now exhibit. We all bear witness to this ceremony you have just
performed, I know announce you Husband and wife. May God bless this union. Draco, you may now kiss
your bride.”

Draco put his hand behind Ginny’s neck and brought her head to his. When they kissed, if felt as
if they were moving through time and everyone in the audience, the bridesmaids, best man and
Dumbledore had all disappeared.

When Ginny felt Draco’s tongue in her mouth a tingling feeling went down her spine, *‘This is
my first kiss as a married woman.’* This kiss was different than all the others. They weren’t
just dating anymore; they were really a family now.

Ginny pulled back from Draco and wiped some of her lipstick off his lips.

“Ladies and Gentlemen I take great pleasure in presenting you Mr. and Mrs. Draco Malfoy.”

Everyone stood up and gave them a round of applause.

~*~

Ginny and Draco had the first dance, cut the first piece of cake together, and drank a glass of
wine. They had done everything except open their presents.

The adults sat around Ginny and Draco as they opened their presents, the children were still
dancing. “The first one is from Hermione and Harry.”

“Um…actually I had another thing in mind to get you but Hermione insisted on getting you that.”
Harry took a step away from Ron.

Ginny ripped of the paper and opened the box, in it laid a pair of black lacy knickers with a
whistle attached to it, and a bra to match.

Ginny blushed and shoved it back into the box, “Thanks ‘Mione and Harry.’

“Gin, what was it? We didn’t get to see?”

“Trust me George; you probably don’t *want* to see.”

“I do.” Draco said as he took the box and pulled out the lingerie.

“Oh gods. Draco put that back in there!”

Everyone laughed and Ginny’s whole face was red, “We’ll have to try these out on the honeymoon
won’t we?”

“Draco Malfoy you put those back in there or you won’t be seeing what I look like in them, or
getting any *tonight!*”

Draco raised an eyebrow, “Of course I will. It’s our wedding night.”

“We’ll just see about that.” Ginny said, her face going back to its normal color.

After they opened the presents it was time to apperate to the hotel. They thanked everyone for
coming, kissed Skylar good-bye and told her to be good. “Fred! DO NOT let her eat all the candy she
wants, okay?”

“Yeah, yeah…whatever you say Gin.”

Draco picked Ginny up and apperated to The Ritz.

~*~

Draco opened the door and closed it with his foot, “It’s a good thing you don’t eat much
Gin.”

He dropped her down on the bed and saw that their bags were already there. He looked for
Hermione’s present, “Do you think you want to put this on?”

“No, I told you I wasn’t going to wear it, and you didn’t believe me.” Ginny stood up and turned
her back to face Draco. She began to pull down her zipper when Draco came up behind her and kissed
her neck.

She shivered and turned around, “I’m not in the mood.” She tried her best not to smile but
failed.

Draco pushed her up against the wall and pulled of her veil, completely. He kissed up and down
her neck and whispered into her ear, “I love you.” He pulled down the zipper on her dress and
pushed it down to the floor.

Ginny kissed him and took out his tie, “Aww, no biting?”

She grinned up at him and moved him back to the bed. He sat down and pulled her onto him. She
licked his ear and blew on it, making him shiver, “I love you too Draco Malfoy.”

While Draco and Ginny were away…

Skylar sat down on the couch next to a sleeping Mr. Weasley. She shook him, “Huh…what?

“Grandpa…I’m bored.”

He looked down at her, “Well what do you want me to do?”


”Let’s play a game!” Heaven and Honesty came running down the stairs.

“Hey Grandpa, hey Skylar!” They both yelled, “We’re going to go play outside, you want to come
with us Skylar?”

Skylar sat and thought about it, she looked from the twins, to her grandfather. “Its okay…If I
go with you then Grandpa will be lonely and he might cry.”

Arthur sat up and shook his head, “No it’s okay Sky, if you go I think I can manage.”

“No, Grandpa I’m going to stay with you.” Skylar smiled down at him.

“Okay, see you later.” Heather and Honesty walked out the house.

Mr. Weasley lay back down on the couch and closed his eyes Skylar crawled over to him and
pinched his nose, “Grandpa! Wake up.”

He sat all the way up, “I’m up.” Skylar moved back on the couch, put both of her feet on it and
turned to face him.

“Grandpa?”

“Yeah Sky?”

“What do doctors do?” Skylar asked out of nowhere.

“They deliver babies.”

“But babies come from The Stork.”

“No the babies come from the mummy.” Skylar shook her head, stubbornly.

“Oh yeah…well where do they come from?”

“The Stork!”

“Where does the stork get the eggs from?”

“Heaven!” Skylar beamed.

“Oh really?” She nodded, “Why does the mummy’s belly get big?”

“Because she eats to much.” *Where does she come up with this stuff?*

Arthur thought for a minute, “How does The Stork know what egg goes to which mommy?”

“It’s like at the baker when you get a number.”

Arthur laughed, “Well how come the doctor hears a heart beat when he puts his ear to the mommy’s
tummy?”

“That’s not a heart beat…its gas.” Arthur had enough; he laughed and stood up from the couch,
“Let’s get you some lunch.”

~*~

Skylar had just walked in the house with her Aunt Luna; they had just come home from shopping.
Luna went straight up stairs but Skylar was detained by Ron.

“Hey Sky…Come over here.”

Skylar walked over to him, “Yes Uncle Ron?”

“What present did your aunt get me?”

She thought about it for a second, “Hmmm I don’t know if I should tell you…but I’ll give you a
hint.”

She looked both ways to check if anyone was around. Ron waited, “What’s the hint?”

“A wet moose walks backwards at night.” Ron raised an eyebrow, “But…BUT, a buzzard whistles in
his sleep.”

“That makes no sense!”

“Maybe not, but I know what your present is!” Skylar hopped off the couch and ran up to her
mum’s old room.

~*~

Skylar had just put on her sky pajamas, with the clouds magically moving on. She walked down
stairs to kiss her Uncle Ron goodnight.

She walked up to him and grabbed his chin, she gave him a kiss, “I have a question.”

“Ask away!” Skylar sat on the couch.

“Why did Auntie Luna leave…because she ate too much?”

“No…she just needed to get away for a while.”

“But Heaven said that she left because she was *fed up*.”

Ron laughed, “Oh, well you see it means that she was irritated and annoyed about something.”

Skylar nodded, “I’ve been there.”

“When?”

“Well I get *fed up* when people tell me to do things. I just go up to my mummy’s room,
press my face against the window and puff until it gets foggy.”

Ron laughed, “Well when I’m on my way to work, I get *fed up* with some of the
traffic.”

“Oh I know what you can do!” Skylar put a serious look on her face, “When you get angry, you
should go in the backyard and dig a hole.” Ron nodded, “Pour water into the dirt and squish it with
your hands. If that doesn’t work, stick you feet in it. Good-night Uncle Ron!” She hopped off the
couch and ran to her mum’s room again.

~*~

Ginny packed up her clothes and sighed, “This was a really great trip. So sad we have to go
home, but I miss my baby.”

“I’m right here.” Draco said walking up behind her and kissing her neck.

“Stop it, Draco. We need to get packed or we might miss the portkey’s set time.”

“Ginny…the portkey is for tomorrow.”

“Exactly…but if we don’t pack now then tonight…if anything shall happen,” She grinned, “We
wouldn’t have time to pack before it, so hurry and pack so we can go out for dinner.”

Draco nodded and began to pick up his clothes up off the floor from him and his wife’s random
nights of love making.

He grinned at the underwear with the whistle, “Here Gin. Don’t want to forget this, now do
we?”

Ginny blushed, “Of course not.”

Draco walked over to her again, “Why do you still blush? Jesus It’s not like I’ve never seen you
in them.”

“Once again, if you don’t stop trying to embarrass me you will never see me in them again!” She
turned around and snatched them from him. He slowly backed her up into the wall and kissed her.

She wrapped her arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss. She shook her head and pushed him
back, “Draco we have to get packed! Really!”

“Oh come on Gin, its only 2:30, dinner isn’t until 6 or so! Don’t we have time to do
*something*?”

“Why did I have to get stuck with a horny husband?” Ginny asked.

Draco shrugged, “Oh come on…please?” He pouted, “I love you?”

Ginny shook her head, “I want to get some shopping done, buy everyone some souvenirs and then
take a shower for dinner.”

“Well for all of that before dinner it would only be 4:30 or 5:00. Please Gin. Pretty please. We
can use the body candy.” He winked.

Ginny sighed, “Maybe alright!? Stop being an arrogant bastard and let me pack!”

Draco grinned, “I love you sweetie.” Ginny rolled her eyes.

~*~

When Draco and Ginny came back from shopping, Draco almost shoved her onto the bed, “Draco wait!
I have to put these things away.”

He sighed and got off of her. “Can you hurry?”

Ginny rolled her eyes and put the shot glasses, teddy bears, shirts and other things away in her
already packed suitcase. “I hope Sky likes this bear.”

“I bet she will, its way bigger than her. Be sure to put a better shrinking spell on it, so it
doesn’t regrow inside the suitcase.”

“Okay.” Ginny had to put one of her knees on the suitcase to close it all the way, “Thanks for
the help.” She said climbing back onto the bed.

“Thanks for your help with this.” He pointed at his erection.

Ginny giggled, “I can’t help if I’m dead sexy.” She winked as she lay on top of him and kissed
him on the lips. “Hey Draco.” Ginny said lifting up his shirt. She kissed her way down his stomach
and then back up.

“Hmmm?”

“Can I be on top this time?” She lifted herself up and pouted.

“Gin!” he whined, “Not this time, please. Next time.” She began to pull his pants down, with his
boxers.

“There might not be a next time, depending on if I’m on top or not.”

Draco rolled over, putting himself on top and glared down at his wife, “Virginia! You’ve made me
wait all day for this and now it’s going to go my way!”

Ginny sighed and put her arms over her chest, “This could be rape you know.” Draco grabbed her
wrists in each hand and held them above her head as he kissed her. Ginny kissed back, knowing she
would always give him what he wanted, and he should never worry.

He nipped at her neck and she giggled, “That tickles, you know.”

“I know.” He held both her wrists in one hand and picked up his wand from the nightstand drawer.
He did a spell to make both of their clothes disappear.

“Oh well you took away the fun part.” Draco smirked and got ready to enter her.

He looked her in the eyes, “Gin…you’ll never know how much I love you.”

Ginny grinned and pulled his face down to hers as he pushed himself into her, “Draco?” She asked
as they moved in sync.

“Yes, Gin.” He let go of her wrists and put his hands on the side of her face.

“How many more kids do you want to have?” Draco lowered his head onto one of her nipples and
began to suck on it; he moved his tongue around it until Ginny pulled his head up, “How many?”

“Three…four? Who knows, not me. I just know we’ll have fun making them.”

~*~

“Draco?”

Draco rolled off of her and turned his head to look at her, “Yes Virginia?”

“What do you want to name our three or four kids?”

“I’m not sure…how about Melanie? Zach? Elizabeth? Sebastian?” Ginny laughed.

“You mean the little crab from the Little Mermaid?” Draco nodded, “Skylar loves that movie.”

“Ginny…I’d miss you so much if anything ever happened to you.”

Ginny raised an eyebrow at her husband, “Where did that come from?”

He shrugged, “I don’t know. It’s just so you’ll know in the future.”

She nodded, “I’d miss you if anything ever happened to you too.”

“I think I’d die. Kill myself even.”

Ginny’s face went blank, “Now I think your talking crazy, Draco. I would never want you to kill
yourself for me. You’d have to stay alive to take care of all our children.” Ginny wrapped her arms
around his neck and brought him closer to her. She kissed him on the lips and then moved back, “I’m
going to go take my shower now alright? I love you.” She got off the bed and went into the
bathroom.

A few minutes after she was in she was joined by her husband. “Long time no see.” He joked.

“Yeah.” She rolled her eyes and turned her back to him. She pulled out the soap and began to
wash up. Draco turned around and kissed her, “Gods, why do you always start something?”

He shrugged, “I thought you loved me, I must have thought wrong.” He lifted her up and she
wrapped her legs around his waist.

“Didn’t we just have sex about half an hour ago?” Draco nodded.

“But see…I have a problem again.”

Ginny looked down and saw what he meant, “God damn it Draco. You’re lucky I love you.” Ginny
leaned back against the wall.

“I bet I am.” He kissed her one more time and then entered.

**~ One * Year* Later~**

Ginny had just cooked breakfast for Skylar, “Mummy, mummy!” Skylar came running down the stairs
yelling.

“Yes Sky?”

“Look what I just drew for you!” Skylar handed her a picture of three stick figures outside on
the grass, “See? That’s me, you and daddy!”

Ginny grinned, “I’ll put it on the refrigerator!” She took it and placed it on there.

Draco walked into the kitchen, “Gin…can you help me with my tie?” She walked over to him.

“See Draco honey, you have to loop it around and then pull it down.” He nodded and rolled his
eyes, “I’ve got a business meeting today so I could be home early or late.”

“Okay.” She made a mental note of this.

“When I get back would you mind having something ready? Though I know you don’t know what
time.”

She stepped back, “Oh just assume I have nothing better to do with my life besides cook for
you!”

*Well hot damn! That was the fastest mood swing I’ve ever seen!* Draco thought.

“Are you kidding, Gin?”

“I bloody well am not!” Draco stared at her and kissed her on the lips.

“Hopefully I’ll see you around noon. I love you.” He turned around and kissed Skylar on the
forehead, “See you after school, Sky. Love you!”

“I love you too daddy!” Skylar smiled eating a piece of toast.

~*~

When Draco got home from work Ginny was laying on the couch rubbing her stomach, “Hey sweetie,
how are you?” He kissed her on the forehead.

“I’m doing well.” She sat up, “want to go out for ice cream?”

Draco nodded, “Yeah.”

They both Apperated to the nearest Ice Cream parlor. They each got a vanilla ice cream cone and
went walking, “Take me shopping, Draco?”

He nodded, “Okay.” He began walking in the direction of Ginny’s normal shopping store when he
felt a tug on his hand, “What’s wrong?”

“I was thinking of a store more back this way.”

“What store could that be?” Draco brought Ginny close to him, their noses touching.

“Draco…there’s something I have to tell you.”

Draco moved back at the serious look on her face, “What is it Gin.”

“Oh well…it’s nothing bad. We’ll I’m happy about it at least.”

“Gin! What is it!?”

“I’m pregnant.”

Draco said nothing for a while…his face cracked into a smile, “Are you serious!?”

Ginny nodded, tears coming out of her eyes, “Yes.”

Draco picked her up and spun her around, “For how long have you known about this?” He set her
back down.

“A month.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“With these constant mood swings, I never knew when a good time to tell you would be.”

Draco grabbed her face and kissed her, “This is great! Let’s go get him or her some
clothes.”

“The doctor said it will most likely be a boy. He’s not positive though.”

They began walking towards a baby clothing store when Draco suddenly stopped walking, “Does this
mean we can’t have sex anymore.”

Ginny grinned, “If I told you yes, you’d probably still try.” He nodded, “But…no this doesn’t
prevent us from having sex.”

He smiled and grabbed her hand and almost ran to the baby store.

~*~

When they got home they put the clothes away and already began getting a room organized. Skylar
flooed home from her school and ran to find her parents. She saw them on the couch drinking
tea.

“Mummy, daddy! Guess what I learned in school today!”

“What?” Ginny asked smiling.

“A told B and B told C 'meet me at the top of the coconut tree D, E, F, and G all went up
the coconut tree. Chicka, Chicka Boom, boom will there be enough room? H, I, J and tag-along K went
up all the way. L,M,N,O and P told Q,R,S, and T,U,V, 'meet me at the top of the coconut
tree!'. Chicka chicka boom boom will there be enough room? W and X told Y and Z meet me at the
top of the coconut tree! CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM!!”

Draco and Ginny were laughing when she finished, “That’s great Sky! Who taught you that?”

“Mrs. Witchfield!”

“Litchfield.” Ginny stood up and took the tea cups into the kitchen.

**~ Nine *Months* Later ~**

“Draco, I’m never letting you come near me with that, that…*thing* of yours again!”

“Push!” The doctor instructed, “He’s almost out!”

Draco was constantly switching hands for Ginny to hold, in fear of her breaking his fingers.
“God Ginny! I never new you had such a grip!”

“Shut up and get me more fucking medicine!” Ginny said pushing without having to be told.

“That won’t be necessary,” Ginny was too caught up in yelling at Draco that she didn’t hear a
baby crying in the distance.

Draco kissed her sweaty for head then he cut the umbilical cord. Ginny jerked at the pain when
she put her legs down. “It’s heard to believe that something as angelic as this, can comb from down
there.” Draco said as he walked over to Ginny, carrying his son. He handed him to Ginny.

Ginny kissed him and said, “Yes…from down there…where you’ve done so many things.” They both
laughed when they saw the nurse heading there way. “So what should we name him?”

“How about…Tim?”

Ginny thought about it then smiled, “Timothy Draco Malfoy.”

“I like it.”

The nurse walked over, “So what will it be.” The nurse asked as Skylar was let in the room.
Skylar hopped onto the bed and looked at her mom.

“Can I hold him? What’s his name?”

“Yes Sky, his name is Timothy.” Ginny gave Tim to Skylar.

The nurse looked at them, “His full name please.”

“Timothy Draco Malfoy.” Draco announced proudly.

“Timothy Draco Malfoy was born on December 7 at exactly 2:15PM to Mr. and Mrs. Draco Malfoy.”
She wrote it all down.

Skylar held her little brother in her arms, “Hello Tiny Tim, I’m you big sister Skylar.”

Mrs. Weasley came running into the room with a camera, “Let me get a picture!”

Draco leaned on the bed and put an arm around Ginny, Skylar sat in Ginny’s lap holding Timothy.
“On the count of three say Tim! One, two, three!”

“Tim!” They all said.

Draco kissed his wife and two children, “I love you all so much, and my love for you only grows
day by day. And it will continue to grow until death to us part.” He smiled down at them.

Skylar kissed her baby brother and then looked up at her daddy, “I love you too daddy. I love
you too mommy. Tim probably loves you all too, though he is wondering who you all are.”

Draco and Ginny laughed as Molly took another picture which was given to them a few weeks later.
They had it framed and at the bottom was a golden plaque which read, “*The* **real**
*Malfoy family.”*

**The End**
