In the Eyes of the Eagle

Chapter Four: Part 1: Purebloods

“Who gave her what?” Draco shouted in anger towards Ginny.

“Don't you dare yell at me Draco Malfoy,” Ginny said. “Our daughter, is dating Michael Potter and he gave her a promise ring, a beautiful one at that if I don't say so myself.”

Ginny smiled at the thought of how beautiful the ring was when Lizzie had described it to her in her last letter, but kept her smile to a minimum at the reasoning of her husband on the edge at the moment.

“But Gin, he's a Potter,” Draco said. “He's not even pureblood!”

“Why should that matter?” Ginny asked in a rage.

“It's important to me that our children don't break the line of the purebloods in our society and our family. I won't stand for the Malfoy line to be broken by some half blood!” Draco growled.

SLAP!

Ginny slapped Draco harder than she had ever before.

“How dare you! You'd sacrifice your own daughter to somebody who is pureblood whom she doesn't even love in order to keep the line clean? I must have been wrong to let you know of your heir almost six years ago!” Ginny sneered and then raised her hand again to strike again.

Instead, Draco took a hold of it tightly and then took a hold of her other hand as she tried to do the same again. He looked into her eyes and spoke.

“You know damn well that I would. If it hadn't of been for Colin convincing you to come back to me then we wouldn't be here right now. You wouldn't have me in your bed every night, you wouldn't have Adrian right now, you wouldn't even have the clothes that are on your back right now if it wasn't for me,” Draco said, as he watched Ginny's face and emotions convert to anger and hatred.

Then without warning, Draco leaned down and aggressively kissed her, to the point where he was bruising her lips and she him also. They fought like this for the next few minutes, hard and demanding, until Draco released her from his grasp and looked to see tears in her eyes.

Draco let his guard down and then realized what he had done. He had taken control and yet, even though Ginny fought back he still overrode the situation. Ginny was having a hard enough time trying to cope with the words Draco had said to her, let alone keeping the tears back as he faced her in silence.

“If you'd rather me leave and leave you alone, then good-bye,” Ginny said as she turned around and left the room, with a single tear rolling down her cheek as she went along the corridor to her study.

Ginny stayed there for hours before a house elf had visited her asking her if she was hungry. In reply, she had said no. The house elf went out of the room as Ginny had ordered it to. She doubted if Draco would come and find her and settle this between the two of them. She wasn't even sure if he knew she hadn't left the manor yet.

In the meantime, Ginny pulled out one of her favorite classics, Jane Eyre, a Muggle classic story. It was about a girl who grew up in her deceased uncle's house with his mistress that treated her cruelly and then one-day, she was taken to all girls' school that wasn't much better than where she was before but it was an improvement. Over the years, she had gotten a job as a teacher at the school and then went to a house as a governess and ended up falling in love with the master of the household.

Even though the story was mixed with sadness and also happiness with love intertwined together, reading this tale had always soothed her, or at least helped her to relax.

Again, a few hours later, another house elf had come.

“What is it?” Ginny asked, aggravated.

“The Master is requesting your presence in his study milady,” the house elf said.

“Tell the Master as you call him, I refuse. If he wants to act like a git to his own wife, then he can do without me for a while. Tell him that if he doesn't apologize for his actions and hurtful words then I am leaving with his three heirs in the next few days,” Ginny said. “You may go.”

The house elf cringed at her words and then went as she had said.

Draco of course, had been in an uproar and had tried to storm into her study. But unfortunately for him, Ginny had set up protection around her against him. He wasn't allowed in her study. They could only communicate through the house elves. Even they didn't want to participate in this quarrel. They knew it could get ugly.

“Ginny!” Draco roared outside of Ginny's study, pounding on the door.

Ginny jumped at the sudden alarm of the door sounding as if it was going to be beat down at any second.

“You are not allowed to leave this place ever!” Draco shouted from the other side of the door out in the hallway.

“You want to bet?” Ginny muttered to herself and then yelled, “Yes I can!”

“Not without my consent Ginevra Molly Weasley Malfoy!” Draco shouted in return.

Fuming with anger, Ginny got up out of her chair and stormed towards the door, opened it quickly and rapidly had Draco against the wall on the other side of the corridor and spoke volumes to him.

“I shall if I please to Malfoy,” Ginny said, still fuming with rage in her system. “This is sure of a way to let you in on this Malfoy but I'm leaving with your three heirs in the next two days unless you pull your act together and fix what you've messed up.”

With those last words she apparated away to a place that Draco had no clue about.
