Chapter 7 - Planning Revenge
Soon Ginny, Draco and Cassie Flooed to the fireplace, closest to their house, in Muggle London.
"She's so beautiful!" Draco sighed, holding a sleeping Cassie in his arms. "She's such a good girl… You've done a great job educating her, Ginny!"
"Thank you… I've had a great help from my whole family!" Ginny smiled, caressing the girl's hair, while they walked home. "My brother Ron is starting to teach her how to fly a broom! Mom says she's a natural on a broom…"
"Really? Well, she takes after both her parents… You were a Chaser and I was a Seeker!" he smiled proudly, truly acting as if he was her father.
"We need to have a serious talk with Cassie… I have a few questions to make her!" Ginny said, thoughtfully. "How did she know we were going to see you today? She cried this morning, because she wanted the green dress to please you… She's knitting a grey scarf because it's your eyes colour! How did she know all this time, that you're alive?"
"I have no idea…" he replied, thoughtfully, as they walked inside the house. "Merlin, I've missed this place…"
Ginny closed the door and watched as Draco paced the whole house with a smile on his face. It really felt good to have him back.
"Why don't you make us some tea while I dress Cassie with her pyjamas and put her in bed?" Ginny asked, taking the little girl from his arms.
"Ok… Good night, Princess!" he whispered in Cassie's ear, kissing her softly.
Ginny went to Cassie's room, and while she undressed the sleeping girl, she couldn't help but think how happy she was today… Draco was back in her life, he still loved her, and they would be a happy family again!
Dressing Cassie with her pyjamas, and placing her inside the bed, Ginny kissed the girl's forehead and went to the living room where Draco was waiting for her with a gorgeous smile on his face.
"Cassie's worse than you, when it comes to sleep!" Ginny joked. "You can be in the middle of a thunder storm and she doesn't wake up!"
"That's my girl…" he laughed, as she sat close to him on the couch.
"Draco, tomorrow I want to go to the Ministry of Magic and have a conversation with Fudge…" Ginny said, looking extremely serious. "I want to know if you're willing to make him pay for what he did to us!"
"Yes, I am… I'm not the only Auror to whom this whole thing happened… I've heard of more people faking death and having to obey to Fudge's blackmail!" Draco said, sipping his tea. "What are you planning to do?"
"Demand a public apology, a public explanation of what happened, the correction of your file… You are not dead and I'm not a widow, so I would like if that information was erased from our files! I want to take Fudge on court and make him lose his Minister position! He should have left that position a long time ago!" Ginny said, playing with the hem of her dress.
"Very well, we're on this together, and we will be victorious!" he smiled, holding her hand in his.
"I sure hope so…" she sighed, tiredly. "Draco, I wanted to tell you that I'm extremely happy that you're alive, and most of all, I'm happy that you left us against your will… I love you, and I will be here for everything you need, if you promise you'll never leave me again!"
"Ginny, you know that one day we all die! All I can promise to you is that I'll love until the day I die, Virginia Malfoy!" he whispered in her ear, nibbling her ear lobe. "Do you blame me for the loss of our baby?"
"I used to blame myself, Draco! I've never blamed you… I've blamed my self for not being stronger. But now that's in the past… I want to build a brand new life with you and Cassie, and forget what happened! But first of all, I want revenge from those who took these two years and our baby from us!" Ginny said, trying hard not to cry. She really was sick of so much crying, lately.
"Do you want to have a baby?" he asked, full of hope.
"There's nothing I want the most than have a baby with you, Draco!" Ginny smiled, happily. "And you?"
"That's my biggest wish as well… As soon as you feel ready to restart our marriage, I'll be right here, waiting for you, ok?" he said, smiling happily.
"Oh, I think I'm ready…" she laughed as she hugged him.
"Boy, that was a quick decision!" he laughed as well. "I guess I'm still irresistible, uh?"
"I've really missed the Draco Full-Of-Himself Malfoy!" she smiled, caressing his beautiful face. "Come, let's go to bed… Tomorrow is a big day!"
Draco leaned against the bedroom's doorframe, while Ginny opened and closed several drawers.
Their bedroom looked exactly the same. Their wedding picture was still on top of the chest of drawers, the book he had started to read 2 years ago, was still on top of his bedside table, as if waiting for him to come back to finish reading it, and apparently, his clothes were all still there.
"Here, take your boxers and t-shirt and go have a nice shower…" she said, giving him the said clothes.
"Don't you want to share?" he asked, with a sexy smile on his face.
"Why not?" she replied with a wink.
That truly was the sexiest and most enjoyable shower they ever had. After the shower, they both fell asleep in each other's arms, on the soft white silk sheets.
The morning sunlight was coming through the window of their room, making Draco wake up.
`I can't remember when was the last time I've slept so well…' he thought, looking at the redheaded angel sleeping on his chest. She looked as beautiful and innocent as she had the night he met her at Julie's apartment, and that was part of the things that made him love her so much.
Running his fingers along her soft hair, Draco sighed with happiness. That's when he heard a girlish giggle. Looking up he found an amused Cassie, standing by the door, wearing a cute little green summer pyjama.
"Hello, Princess! You're up early! Come here…" he called, with a wide grin.
"Good morning Daddy!" she yelled, running to their bed and jumping on top of it, to kiss her father.
"Ssshhh, you're going to wake up Mommy!" he laughed, as Cassie lay down on his free side, with her blond head on his pillow.
"She already has…" Ginny mumbled, opening her chocolate brown eyes. "Good morning, Blondie! Good morning, Blondie Senior!"
"You call her Blondie?" Draco laughed.
"Well, she is your daughter, isn't she?" Ginny smiled, covering herself with the bed sheets.
Draco kissed her gently on the lips, and then sat up in bed.
"It's great to have both my girls in the same bed!" he joked, receiving a slap in the harm from Ginny, as she laughed.
"Pervert!" she whispered in his ear, as she sat as well, and Cassie placed herself between them. "Cassie, Mommy and Daddy need to talk with you about a few things… Is it alright with you?"
"Yes, Mommy… But, it wasn't me!" the girl said, pouting.
"Oh, oh… I know that pout! Fred and George do it whenever they've done something bad! Cassie, what have you done?" Ginny asked, laughing at her daughter's surprised face.
"Well… I was flying on Uncle's Ron broom and I hit a vase, and it crashed! Do you think, Grandma will be sad with me?" Cassie asked, with tears shinning in her eyes.
"No, she won't be sad with you, but you have to tell her the truth, ok? You must always assume the wrong things you do…" Ginny said gently, as her daughter hugged her strongly.
"Ok, Mommy… I'll tell her!" Cassie said in a soft voice.
Draco watched all this with an enormous smile on his face, and pride in his chest, as he watched the wonderful education that Ginny was giving to little Cassie.
"Well, Princess, we wanted to ask you how did you know I was going to the wedding yesterday?" Draco asked, caressing Cassie's arm.
"I've dreamed about it, Daddy! And once I've dreamed that your face was changing to an ugly man's face, and you had an ugly mark on your arm… It was a really bad dream!" Cassie explained, making a disgusted face.
Draco and Ginny looked at each other in shock. How could Cassie know anything about Draco taking the Polyjuice Potion and having a fake Dark Mark on his arm?
"Alright, darling… That was all we had to ask you! Now, let's get up and ready to leave!" Ginny tried to smile. "You'll stay with Grandma today…"
"Yes, Mommy! I'm going to say I'm sorry… Can we take her a new vase with flowers?" Cassie asked with a smile full of hope.
"That's a great idea, Princess!" Draco smiled, as Cassie left their bedroom. "It's amazing how sweet she is! She's a perfect copy of yourself!"
"Thank you… But, I'm worried about these dreams she's having! We need to find out what's going on!" Ginny sighed, as she hugged Draco.
"I agree, but today, we're going to worry about Fudge…"
