Chapter 6 - Back to the Party
"What the hell are they doing? The night is falling, and they are still inside the school…" Ron complained, looking at the school entrance.
"There are two options to what is happening… Option number one: they are shagging each other senseless! Option number two: Ginny killed him for good, and is trying to find somewhere to hide his body…" Hermione joked.
The Weasley boys all looked at her with shock and worry on their faces, but Hermione, Julie and Joanne all laughed amusedly.
"My bet goes to the first option!" Joanne and Julie said at the same time, laughing even harder.
"My bet goes for that one, as well!" a female voice said behind them.
"Ginny!" all her brothers screamed at the same time, when they saw her standing close to the tent entrance with Draco holding her in his arms.
"I'm glad someone was having fun, while I have to wait until later tonight!" Joanne joked, pecking Harry's cheek.
"And I promise it will worth the wait…" Harry said in a seductive voice, kissing her gently.
"So, have you talked? What have you both decided?" Molly asked, worried with her baby daughter.
"Yes, Draco told me what happened, and from there I took my decisions… Draco will come back to our house! Cassie has spent two years away from her father, and they both have the right to be close to each other. I asked Draco to give me some time to decide what's happening next in our relation…" Ginny explained, smiling.
"What's there to decide? You were the one to say you were both doing it all day, today!" Hermione said, stunned.
"Well, we were both really needing to be close again… I'm sure you guys don't understand what it's like to be two years away from the most sexy woman on the face of the earth!" Draco laughed, kissing Ginny's cheek. "But she's right… She needs time to recover from the shock, and I'll be there to support her, and to make sure our relation starts all over again!"
"Oooh, that's so romantic…" all the women sighed, dreamily.
"What is? Not being able to sleep with your own wife until she wants to?" Harry asked, amused when all the women tried to slap him in the head, for being cruel.
"Harry, you better not say much more, or you won't have any for the next couple of months…" Joanne said, with a scowl on her face.
"Fine, fine… I take it back, ok!" he said, quickly, with his face purple with embarrassment.
"Well, if you are willing to take him back, then I conclude that all this death fake was not his fault…" Arthur Weasley asked his daughter.
"No, it wasn't… That was Minister Fudge's fault…" Ginny said, looking serious. "And he's going to pay for what he has done to my family and to my psychological health…"
"Well, all I have to say is, Fudge be careful, because here comes the Weasley family, ready to kick your but!" Fred laughed, and soon all the other joined him.
"Daddy… Are you going home with me and Mommy?" Cassie asked, hugging Draco's legs.
"Of course, sweetie… Daddy won't leave you again, ok? I promise!" he told the little girl, holding her in his arms and kissing her cheek.
"That's good… Can you tell me a bed time story, tonight?" she asked him, with her silver-grey eyes wide open in excitement.
"I would love to, Cassie!" he smiled, as the girl kissed his cheek and giggled.
"Well, now that everything is ok, I'm dying to eat something! I'm starved…" Ginny laughed, kissing her daughter, and going to a table full of food.
"Oh, Draco, I'm glad you are back! She hasn't been eating properly for the last couple of years. You're doing good to her!" Molly Weasley said excitedly, as she hugged her son-in-law.
Draco hugged her back, and joined Ginny on her quest for food.
"So, when's the wedding?" Ginny asked Hermione, as they ate surrounded by the whole family.
"In a couple of months… I'm already taking care of everything!" Hermione said, with a huge smile on her face.
"That soon? Wow… You guys should have been married for a while now! I can't understand why you waited for so long!" Draco said in a friendly tone.
"Me neither…" Ron laughed, hugging Hermione closer to him. "Malfoy, when will you tell us what happened?"
"Ron, I've already told that story once, today… Can you all come at our place tomorrow for the long explanation?" Draco asked, sipping his wine.
"Sure… We'll be there tomorrow after dinner…" Ron agreed, and then stood up. "Mione, I'm tired, can we go home now?"
"Ok, Ron… My poor baby is tired, and I must go home to put him to sleep!" Hermione said with a wicked smile on her face.
"What's wrong with these women today? They are all talking openly about their sex lives, as if we wanted those pictures in our minds… YUK!!!!" George complained, looking disgusted.
"Oh, by the way, Hermione, you were right… The Astronomy Tower floor really has a Cushion Spell on the stone floor, and it really is comfortable…" Ginny whispered to Hermione, giggling.
"Ah ah… I knew it! I'm thinking about going back there one of this days to give it another try…" Hermione laughed, along with Ginny.
"Hermione, you are talking dirtier everyday that goes by… I guess that's the bad influence from my brother…" Ginny replied, hugging her friend to say good-bye.
Soon, all the guests were gone, except for Ginny, Draco, Cassie, Mark, Julie and Alex. Draco, Mark and Harry were talking quietly on a near-by table, while the girls were on another table, with Cassie sleeping in Ginny's arms, and Alex playing with his toys on the floor.
"I haven't seen you this happy for some time…" Julie said, smiling at Ginny.
"I haven't been this happy for a long time, Julie!" Ginny replied, caressing Cassie's face with tenderness. "He's back, Julie… He's alive!"
"I know, darling, I know! I'm very happy as well…" Julie said, whipping away some tears.
"Ginny, now that we are the only ones hearing you, how was the really coming back?" Joanne asked, curious.
"Well, I shouldn't discuss my sex life, but it was spectacular… Two years full of tension and hurt, dissolved in the most amazing love making I ever had!" Ginny said with a dreamy expression.
"Wow… Your face shows how much you liked it!" Julie laughed at her friend's red cheeks. "Why do you want time, Ginny? I mean, you slept with him today, why can't you go back to your old life with him?"
"Yeah, good question, Julie! Why?" Jo agreed, curious.
"All that sexual tension between us had to be released… We wouldn't be able to be close to the other if we didn't make love… And it was awesome! But now, I need time to know what to do next. Remember, according to the law, I'm a widow, and Draco is dead! We need to make the Minister correct Draco's situation, he needs to be alive according to the law, so that we can decide if we get married again, or if we just live together, we need to know if he has his job back… We have so many things to do, before we can think properly of our relation! And, the most important of all, I need to know this new Draco… He is changed; I can see it in his eyes, in his face… He went through a lot, and I need him to help me know him again!" Ginny explained, looking to the love of her life, across the tent.
"So, it will be like dating again?!" Jo concluded, and Ginny nodded her agreement. "Good… So, tell me, Ginny, will you sleep with him on the first date?"
"JO!!! What's going on with my friends? They are all getting dirty minds!" Ginny laughed, like she hadn't laughed for a long time.
"Well, will you?" Julie asked, laughing as well.
"Probably…" and the three of them laughed together again.
**~~**~~**
"It's great to see her laughing again, mate! She has been so off, lately… It made my heart ache each time I saw her!" Harry said, watching the three laughing girls.
"It's good to see her, period!" Draco corrected, watching them as well. "She was the only thing keeping me going, for all this time. Each time I thought about giving up, because the situation was getting too complicated, I would think of her, Cassie and our baby, and I would gain new strengths to fight!"
"After she lost you and the baby, she was so depressed… She locked herself inside her old room at our apartment, crying and screaming in pain! I thought she was going to be crazy for the rest of her days!" Mark said, sadly. "I'm glad you're back, Draco! I just can't understand why Harry and I never knew you were alive! We work at the Auror Headquarters as well!"
"Fudge had it all planned… There was a specific group of Aurors in charge of my undercover! But, that's past, now… All I want from now on, is think about my life with Ginny, Cassie and, hopefully, a baby, really soon!" Draco said, smiling happily. "A baby to make up to Ginny and to my self… A proof of our love!"
