Later that night around dinner time, Draco was just waking up from the attack he had earlier and looked around the small den that he was lying in. He couldn't help but think about the angry look on Ginny's face right before he passed out and was glad she was nowhere around at the moment, especially with the throbbing headache he had. He sat up from the couch and rubbed his eyes and was about to get up when a mass of red hair was suddenly before him.

"Oh great, your up."' Ginny said a little too cheerfully.

"Uh, yeah, I really need to use the bath-"

"That can wait" Ginny cut him off and pushed him back down onto the couch as he attempted to get up.

He let out a frustrated sigh and went to say something when Ginny cut him off again.

"Just be quiet, I swear if you say something to justify what you did out there I might just slap you." she snapped.

His eyes went a bit wide and he was taken aback at how Ginny was scolding him and just sat there quietly like a child in trouble.

"Over and over I have tried to tell you that we are a team, it's you and me and when I am able to help, you never let me and quite frankly Draco, it's starting to piss me off. Do you think I'm too weak to handle it?" she asked him; getting in his face suddenly, causing him to sit back a bit.

He opened his mouth to answer her, but she went on.

"Because I'm not and I am most certainly capable of handling it. We are going to be married soon and you need to be able to trust that I can handle things, especially when it comes to trying to help you. You look at me sometimes like I'm this weak, fragile child and I'm not....... stop pushing me away even when it comes to relieving you of any pain. I mean...... do you know how hard it is to watch you suffer and know that I'm able to help you, but you refuse to let me?................DO YOU?"

"I.....I..."

"JUST STOP PISSING ME OFF!" she yelled suddenly and then fled from the room.

Draco waited until she was gone to let the breath of air he had been holding in out. He very rarely had seen Ginny flip out on him, but when she did, he couldn't help but have a lump form in his throat. He knew she was just angry right now and that she was also right in everything she said, but having her endure pain like that when HE could do something to prevent it was hard to ignore. He ran his hand through his hair in frustration and relief that she was finally done yelling and then made his way to the bathroom.

_______________________________________________

Ginny woke up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat and breathing heavily after having a rather alarming nightmare. She turned to wake Draco up, but decided not to after seeing how peaceful he looked and instead she quietly slipped out of bed and out of the bedroom. She thought about her not so sincere apology she gave Draco after dinner about the way she went off on him after realizing he was just trying to keep her safe. It still irked her beyond anything that he never accepted help from anyone, but more so from her too. She gave a light sigh and made her way downstairs and saw the kitchen light on and knew it was more than likely her Mother having some tea to try and help her sleep. She slipped into a chair at the table without looking up and rubbed her eyes and put her head down in her hands.

"I can use some tea also." she mumbled.

"Of course, Miss Weasley."

Ginny snapped her head up at the sound of the voice and was surprised to see Kingsley standing there.

"Oh, sorry, I thought you were my Mother." Ginny said with a small smile.

"No worries, here you are." he said, sliding a cup of tea over to her.

She gave an awkward smile and saw him take a seat at the table across from her.

"I thought it best I stay here instead of traveling back and forth; this way I can avoid drawing any more attention to us than there already is." Kingsley explained after seeing Ginny's expression; one of which seemed to be questioning why Kingsley was here at this time of night.

"Oh.... makes sense." she said in a small voice; blowing gently on her tea.

They sat there in silence with just the occasional sound of them sipping on their tea. All Ginny could think about was that awful nightmare she just had; it was mostly about her reliving the moments of when she was fighting off the curse she had been under. Ginny suddenly felt Kingsley's eyes on her and she was starting to feel quite uncomfortable, so much so that she was about to excuse herself when he finally spoke.

"What is on your mind Miss Weasley, I can tell you're bothered by something."

She stared at him for a moment and then let out a long sigh; she didn't know why she was about to confide in Kingsley of all people, but she rather not worry Draco with some silly nightmares.

"It's just that..... I had a...... bad dream is all." she hurried the last part up when she heard how childish she sounded and quickly looked at the cup of tea in her hands.

"I take it that.... by answering me.... it could only be about-"

"Yeah," she cut him off; taking another small sip of her tea.

He nodded.

"Miss Weasley, do you know why the curse was lifted? Why this darkness finally decided to leave you?"

She shook her head.

"Well, I won't sit here and pretend that I know for certain, but if I had to guess, I think it felt threatened, so when you so bravely put your own life on the line it didn't see any more use for its...... pardon my words...... for its host. It knew that you would stop at nothing to protect the ones you love....... even if it meant taking your own life."

Ginny thought about what he said, part of her understood and another part didn't, but she wasn't even sure if she wanted to know anything further.

"Ginny...... there has been Dark magic used these past few months that even I have never seen before....... something completely new to the Wizarding world. It could very well be that we will never know all the answers to this particular curse." he said, giving her a small smile.

She nodded again before wrapping her hands tighter around her mug to warm her cold hands. "Do you think we're going to win?" she asked suddenly.

Kingsley looked at her; a small grin crossed his lips. "I like our chances and if not we certainly will go out with a bang."

Ginny gave a small giggle. "That's one way of putting it."

"Seriously though, I have been doing some recruiting myself and Mr. Longbottom will be arriving tomorrow as well. I think we will be in for some surprises, but I think we have a chance and a good one at that." he said confidently with another small smile.

Ginny smiled back at him and then gave another small laugh. "Well, thanks for the tea, Sir. I suppose I'll get back to bed." she said, getting up from her seat.

"Of course, Goodnight Miss Weasley."

Ginny quietly crawled back into her bed beside Draco and felt him automatically pull her closer to his chest as he let out a soft breath and continued to sleep. She propped herself up on her elbow and just stared at him; noticing how calming it was for her to watch him sleep and she suddenly realized it was Draco Malfoy lying beside her. She bit her lip to stop herself from letting a giggle out and just shook her head at the thought. Never in her wildest or far off dreams would she ever think the blond Slytherin beside her would be the man she was madly in love with..... engaged to and the Mother of two of his children.

She gently brought her hand up to his face and moved a strand of hair out of his it before softly caressing his cheek. She felt so happy at this moment, regardless of the raging war that awaited them, just being in this room hearing the gentle breathing of her babies and the man beside her was all she cared about right now. She suddenly felt such peace and an overwhelming emotion that had her teary eyed. She leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Draco's lips and when she pulled back, she saw his mercury eyes staring back at her accompanied by a warming smile.

Draco felt a stray tear hit his face that fell from Ginny's cheek and he gently took her face in his hands and kissed her forehead before pulling her tightly to him. He didn't need to ask her what was wrong, he could just tell she needed him to hug her right now and he was more than happy to hold her in his arms. He held her close as she gently dozed off into a light sleep and he took her hand in his and felt the ring on her finger graze his thumb; reminding him that his future wife was lying beside him right now. This thought made him smile even wider and then he buried his face in her hair and took in her scent as he too fell asleep.

_______________________________________________________

"Draco...... Draco..... wake up"

He cracked his eyes open a tinge to see Ginny's smile beaming over him and he then looked at the clock and noticed the sun wasn't even up yet.

"Ginny's its like 5am, go back to bed." he mumbled.

"Come on," she whispered with a bit of excitement as she grabbed his hand and yanked him out of the bed.

He groaned as he let her lead him downstairs and then soon outside to the backyard and was surprised to see Harry, Ron, Hermione and Luna also standing outside, who were also rubbing their eyes and yawning.

"What's going on, Gin?" Ron asked through a yawn.

"This," she said with a giant smile throwing Ron a broom.

"Whoa, where did these come from?" he asked, forgetting how tired he was suddenly.

"Who cares" she yelled; not wasting any time and soon threw herself on one and zoomed off into the air.

Draco couldn't help the smile that stretched across his face as he saw Ginny fly through the air, which prompted him to jump on one himself and follow her. It wasn't long before the rest of them also followed and let the morning air hit them as they just flew as fast as they could all around the ward and as high as they could. Draco was impressed with Ginny's ability to ride a broom, she was even better than he was which oddly made his love for her grow even more. He hadn't seen Ginny be......well be Ginny in so long. The competitive smile she wore as she raced them and the sweaty pieces of hair that stuck to her face after she put everything she had into the stunts and tricks she performed on her broom before beating them all made him want to snog her senseless.

She suddenly zoomed past him and he watched in awe as she left a fiery trail behind her as she flew about making him smile and shake his head at her.

"SHOW OFF!" he yelled to her.

"I SEE YOU ALL HAVE FOUND MY THANK YOU GIFTS!" yelled Kingsley from below.

They all came to a stop on the ground and waited for Kingsley to further explain.

"I thought you all could use a little something to get your minds off the more serious matters awaiting us........ and also as a thank you for all you guys have done for the Order." he finished with a smile.

"About bloody time we-"

Hermione elbowed Ron hard in the ribs to cut him off. "Thank you, Sir." she smiled at Kingsley.

"Yes, thank you, it was quite an experience." Ginny smiled, looking at Draco, who was smiling back at her.

"Wonderful, I will let you all get back to your fun and see you for breakfast shortly." Kingsley said happily before heading back inside the house.

"Why is he being all extra nice suddenly?" Ron scoffed; getting back on his broom.

"It's probably his way of saying "Oh hey sorry in advance if you're all killed in the battle" " Draco drawled.

"OR maybe he is just being nice." Ginny countered.

"I guess" Draco mumbled.

Ginny gave a soft giggle before mounting her broom again and kicking off the ground. She was at the very top of the ward in a matter of seconds and soon Draco was beside her; he watched her just taking in the view of the town in the distance. He watched her smile fade slowly and her eyes drop down to the broom beneath her.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"They go into hiding tonight." she said softly.

Draco let out a soft sigh. "I know...... its going to be tough."

She looked up at him and he gave her a half smile and then hovered beside her on his broom.

"Seems silly........ to be riding on a broom at five in the morning." she said, shaking her head at how ridiculous the whole thing seemed to her.

"You mean having a good time? Or to be enjoying ourselves because death could be just days away? Are suppose to just sit around and wait for it then?" he said with some amusement. "You're not like that, Ginny." he said, grabbing her chin lightly and turning her face up to his.

"It does feel good to be on a broom again doesn't it?" she smiled widely at him.

"Watching you on one is more thrilling to be honest." he chuckled and then leaned over and gave her a soft kiss.

"ALRIGHT YOU LOT GET DOWN HERE FOR BREAKFAST!" Mrs. Weasley's voice rang out into the air.

They all made their way back to the ground and Draco watched Ginny take one last dive through the air before she joined the rest of them. The way her hair whipped around her face as she flew through the air and how it resembled the dancing flames he had seen so many times ignite from her was quite a sight. He held onto that image as he made his way inside with the rest of them for an early breakfast to start off a long day of practice.

___________________________________________________

She felt debris fly into her hair as she ducked down further behind a bale of hay. Her perfect tightly braided hair was coming undone and strands of blonde hung all around her face.

"Minerva sure wasn't kidding when she said this practice would be intense." Narcissa said sarcastically; crouching lower as another blast hit right beside her.

McGonagall and Kingsley had wanted to see them all work as a team during today's practice and conjured up some dummy like test subjects to attack them. None of them thought it would be this intense being that they were fighting a bunch of fake enemies.

"Yeah, and correct me if I'm wrong, but some of these "practice" charms she's using are Dark magic." Charlie joked, pulling Narcissa towards him as a piece of debris missed her by a few inches.

"CHARLIE..... YOU GUYS HAVE AN OPENING!" Draco yelled over to them, who was taking cover behind a stack of firewood across from them.

He heard his Mother let out a small giggle and saw Charlie saying something to her through a laugh of his own.

"CHARLIE! I SAID YOU GUYS HAVE AN OPENING, GO NOW!" he yelled a bit louder with annoyance in his voice.

Draco saw Charlie give him a quick nod and then take a peak over the hay bale he and Narcissa were behind before he slid his hand around Narcissa's waist to guide her to go on. Draco was about to yell something out to Charlie when a flash of flames caught the corner of his eye. Ginny had been surrounded by a crowd of McGonagall's cursed dummies and over did it with her powers and found herself surrounded by a mass of flames. She quickly climbed on top of the small storage shed nearby and went to run across it to jump down when a blast hit the top of the shed and sent her flying through the air. She braced herself for the bone breaking impact that awaited her, when she felt herself hit something cold. She saw Draco form an icy slope that made her slide down safely to the ground and gave him a thankful nod before running behind a tree for cover.

After seeing Ginny make it to a safety point he turned to Luna beside him. "Alright, let's go." he said running out from behind the wood pile and throwing a curse at one of the dummy's that made its way towards him.

"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT, TIME OUT EVERYONE!" McGonagall shouted, making all chaos seize and every dummy to fall to the ground.

They all returned to the center of the field where they were covered in scratches and dirt from the exhausting practice they just went through.

"You all work quite well together, but some of you weren't focusing........ Miss Weasley, you know you can control fire, there should be no reason why you had to outrun your own source of power." McGongall said sternly, looking at Ginny.

"Yes, Professor." she said in a small voice.

"Alright, let's take a few minutes and then I'll split you up into two teams and we will continue practicing for a bit more."

They all groaned and then scattered about to take a breather.

"Hey, we need to talk." Draco said, taking Ginny by the arm and pulling her aside. "What happened out there with you?"

"I'm sorry Draco, I just keep thinking about having to say goodbye to our babies tonight...... and then I kept thinking about if we never get to see them again and...... and..." she trailed off and started breaking down completely.

"Oh Ginny, come here." he said, taking her into his arms as she sobbed.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm so emotional suddenly...... I'm just...... I'm scared."

"Listen to me Ginny." he said, grabbing her arms firmly and looking into her eyes.

He opened his mouth a few times to say something, but suddenly couldn't think of anything to say. He let out a defeated breath when he realized he was getting choked up over the goodbyes awaiting them later that night between him and his children. Ginny looked at him as she waited for hopeful words that would make her feel better, but they never came. He grabbed her to him and just hugged her for a while until McGonagall called them all back to the middle of the field.

"Alright, this time, I don't want the three of you using your powers at all."

"WHAT? WHY?" Draco shouted.

"Because Mr. Malfoy." said Kingsley, cutting in."With the amount of Dark magic that Lucius and his followers will be using, I can assure you one of them will be a disabling charm. This curse will temporarily make you unable to use any wandless magic you may possess so it is imperative you are prepared to fight when your powers are worthless." he explained.

Draco locked eyes with Ginny for a moment and saw her let out a nervous breath; he couldn't help but think if he had been relying too much on his powers during battles and practices and hoped he would still be as great with a wand.

"Alright, you half on one side and you lot on the other." McGonagall said.

Draco took note that Ginny was on the opposite team this time and he would be dueling against her. He gave her a small smug smile and she rolled her eyes at him before taking her position across the field.

"Want to see me wipe that smug look off my son's face?" Narcissa asked, gripping her wand tightly before smirking at Ginny.

"Yes, please." Ginny giggled.

As soon as they heard McGonagall count down from three and gave the go ahead, spells went flying in every direction. Ginny went running to take cover behind the side of the shed she climbed on top of earlier when a spell missed her face by a few inches and she followed it to the caster.

"NEVILLE?" she shouted in surprise.

"Sorry Ginny" he called to her with a look of regret.

"You little...." she trailed off as she ran after him throwing a spell ahead of her that made him trip over his own feet and fall to the ground.

She jumped over his fallen body and went straight towards Hermione, who was busy dueling against Charlie. Ginny was about to throw a spell when Hermione blocked it without even turning around. She lifted her wand to throw another spell when she felt someone grab her and drag her to the ground with them.

She saw it was Ron who tackled her and was pinning her down to the ground while Hermione continued to duel against Charlie.

"Sorry, Gin" Ron said with a half smile.

"Me too," she said before kneeing him between the legs.

"FUCKIN BLOODY HELL GINNY!" he cried out in pain as she scrambled out of his grasp and got to her feet.

She couldn't help but smile triumphantly before running off towards another victim.

Draco was up against Luna, who was putting up quite the fight against him, which was surprising in his eyes. She always seemed so far off in some distant land mentally, that he didn't expect her to be so alert and fast when it came to casting spells and blocking almost everyone he threw at her. He finally managed to quickly cast a body binding charm on her which made her drop her wand to the ground. He went to cast another spell on her when it was blocked suddenly by Narcissa, who was now in front of him with her wand ready.

"Well, well...... here we are." he drawled.

"Indeed we are." she smirked squinting her eyes ever so slightly.

She suddenly moved her wand so swiftly that Draco almost didn't even see it happen and before he knew it he had a cut across his cheek.

"You cut me Mother?" he said in shock as he dragged his thumb over the tiny cut on his face.

"Aw, come on now, stop being a baby." she teased him and then threw another spell at him that hit him in the chest and sent him flying flat on his back.

He quickly got to his feet and placed the famous Malfoy sneer on his face before casting spells left and right at his Mother. He knew getting a spell past his Mom was going to be tough since she was quite gifted when it came to protection charms and defensive spells. They went back and forth for a good ten minutes when he suddenly saw one of his spells finally hit her, causing her to drop to one of her knees. He immediately felt bad for hurting her and ran over to see if she ok, but as he made his way to her, she shot a rope from her wand around his leg and pulled him to the floor making him once again fall flat on his back. Before he could even try to get up, she was standing over him with her wand to his throat and a giant smile.

"I win," she said smugly.

"That was cruel, I thought I hurt you." he said, taking her extended hand and letting her help him up.

"Next time don't hold back." she said through her heavy breathing.

"I didn't hold back." he snarled at her.

"Yes, you did; You were too concerned about hurting me the whole time, but then I caught you off guard by making you bleed....... because you didn't expect it." she said smugly. "Don't worry though, you still would've ended up on your back." she teased, pushing him lightly.

Draco just shook his head with a small smile and joined the rest of them at the center of the field.

"Alright, that's enough for today everyone. Let's call it a day and head in for dinner." McGonagall said to them; watching them start to head back towards the house. "And go see Madame Pomfrey and Mrs. Weasley with any injuries you have." she called after them.

Draco made his way over to Ginny, who was limping and leaning on George as they made their way back inside.

"Hey, you ok?" he asked her, gesturing for George to let him finish helping her inside.

"Oh, yeah, just twisted my ankle is all. Madame Pomfrey will have it fixed before dinner I'm sure." she said to him with a smile. "What about you? That's a nice cut you got there." she teased.

"Yeah, apparently my Mother plays dirty....... and judging by the smile on your face you two were enjoying yourselves at seeing me lose against her."

Ginny gave a small chuckle that quickly faded when she saw Fleur greeting Bill ahead of them. Seeing her finally arrive this evening made her think about how she would be saying goodbye to her children tonight. She looked down and focused on trying to walk, but she pulled away from Draco and just let herself kneel down in the grass and buried her face in her hands.

"Come on, Ginny" Draco whispered to her; scooping her up in his arms and carrying her the rest of the way to the house.

_____________________________________________________

She started stuffing everything into a large bag, just stuffing everything faster and faster until she couldn't fit any more into it. She muttered a quick enlargement charm on the bag and grabbed another pile of baby clothes and placed them inside; tears threatening to fall down her face. She heard Draco call to her a few times, but she ignored him and just focused on packing up the rest of Scorpius and Ember's things. She said a quick shrinking charm on each crib and placed those inside the charmed bag as well and then felt Draco's hand on her shoulder; making her tense up.

"Please don't........ please don't try and say something positive because I won't believe you. I'm sorry..... but this is too much...... I don't know what to do with myself right now." she whispered, sliding to the floor in a heap of sobs.

He kneeled down in front of her and placed a hand on her back as she cried. He didn't know what to say to her, there really wasn't anything to say when you have to say goodbye to your children knowing you possibly would never see them again.

"I'm sorry Draco, I know I'm not the only person suffering right now..... I.... just...I..." she trailed off into another round of fresh tears; her body shaking from both unbearable sadness and anger over the whole situation.

She threw her arms around Draco and let him hold her tightly as she continued to cry, letting tears of his own silently fall into the strands of red hair lying against his chest.

A light knock suddenly was heard and Hermione stuck her head in the room. "Hey guys....... they are waiting for you downstairs." she said with a small smile.

Draco gave her a nod and then turned Ginny's face up to his. "You ready?"

She shook her head and wiped her wet face off with her sleeve. "No, but it needs to be this way for now." she breathed out through her trembling lips.

Draco stood and pulled her up and walked with her downstairs to join the others. Mrs. Weasley handed Ember to Ginny and Bill handed Scorpius to Draco and then everyone left the small family in the living room to give them some privacy. There was silence for a few moments as they both rocked each child in their arms. Ginny always smiled every time she looked at her children; Ember's silver eyes and Scorpius' blonde hair were images she could always close her eyes and see perfectly in her mind.

"Daddy and I will see you guys soon........ we just need to take care of some grown up stuff." Ginny said with a bright smile while running her fingertips through Ember's orange hair.

Draco smiled at Ginny's words; he was happy that she didn't say goodbye and that she seemed more confident suddenly in making her way back to their children.

"We're going to win........ right?" she asked suddenly; looking up at Draco.

Draco stared at her for a few moments and just looked into her pleading eyes to answer with something positive. "Yeah........ we're gonna win." he smiled at her.

She gave a tearful nod and then hugged Ember close to her face and placed a small kiss on her forehead. After a few more moments they shared goodbyes with everyone else and Mrs. Weasley was a frantic mess. Ginny could only imagine what her Mother was feeling, having to leave all her kids behind to fight in this battle while she was safely in hiding with the twins and Fleur. Ginny let her Mother hang onto her for as long as she wanted until her Mom couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and quickly made her way over to the Port Key waiting for her.

"Now are you sure having them Port Key is safe at their age?" Ginny asked.

"Yes, Miss Weasley, Narcissa put a charm on both of them that would greatly diminish any effects of the Port Key experience." McGonagall reassured her.

Ginny and Draco looked at Narcissa, who gave them a small smile. Ginny nodded to her Mother for them to go ahead and with a small whooshing sound they were gone. Ginny immediately buried her face into Draco's chest and let the tears once again fall freely.

_____________________________________________

She lay there wide awake with only one thing on her mind and kept looking at the empty space beside her bed where the cribs once were. She felt Draco shift next to her and then turn over again and then let out a frustrated sigh.

"Can't sleep?" she asked him.

"This sucks," he said, turning on his side to look at her. "You would think we would be in for the best night's sleep in a while since we were baby free." he lightly joked, pulling her closer to him.

"Right? Gosh, if only it was for better reasons, then I would be happy to have a baby free night and take full advantage of sleep............ and your body." she laughed.

"You already take advantage of my body."

She laughed against his chest and lightly slapped him. "Ugh, I miss them, normally I would be getting a bottle at this time."

"You could always go get me a drink instead."

"You're such a jerk." she laughed before slipping out of the bed. "But fine, I'll be right back."

She made her way towards the staircase and saw Narcissa quietly making her way out of one of the rooms down the hall.

"Mrs. Malfoy?" Ginny whispered out to her.

Narcissa jumped at the sound of Ginny's voice and turned to look at her. "Oh, Ginny...... you startled me." she breathed out with a nervous smile.

"Sorry, I was just getting Draco a drink-Uh, isn't that Charlie's room?" She asked, pointing to the door Narcissa had emerged from.

"Oh, uh, yeah, I just had to..... um...... discuss a matter with him is all." she said nervously and fidgeting slightly.

"At three in the morning?"

"Well.... it was rather important- you know what Ginny, I'm really tired, I'm going to head to bed....... I'll see you in the morning." she said quickly and hurriedly made her way down the hall and into her bedroom.

Ginny stood there for a moment and then silently mouthed the words "oh my god" before turning around and running back into her bedroom. She quickly closed the door and hopped back into bed beside Draco.

"Hey, where's my drink?" Draco asked her; sitting up.

"I think Charlie and your Mother are sleeping together." she blurted out.

"WHAT?" he laughed.

"I'm not kidding, I just saw her leaving his bedroom."

"WHAT?" Draco yelled, jumping out of bed.

"Shh, sit down," she said, pushing him back onto the bed.

"I thought something was off with the two of them earlier when I saw his hand on........Oh god I can't even think of this.... do you really think-"

"She seemed pretty flustered when I was talking to her."

"I'm going to kill Charlie."

"Charlie? What makes you think he's behind this whole thing? I think they are equally involved in this." Ginny said defensively.

"Yeah, but come on, my Mother with a Weasl-" he stopped talking when he saw the deadly glare Ginny shot at him.

"What was that?

"Uh, nevermind."

"That's right, nevermind." she said, poking him in the ribs.

"I need to go talk to her." he said, getting up from the bed.

"NO!" Ginny snapped, trying to grab him before he left the room, but only caught the leg of his pants and accidentally pulled them down a bit.

They both burst with laughter at the scene.

"See I told you that you take advantage of my body, but if you wanted me naked all you had to do was ask." he said, kicking his pants off the rest of the way.

He was on top of her suddenly and they both hungrily kissed each other, but they both started to slow down and eventually stopped altogether.

"Let me guess, all you can see right now is your Mom and Charlie going at it?" Ginny said, through her heavy breathing.

"Yep" he answered, rolling off of her and onto his back beside her.

"Ugh, so let me get this straight; our first night baby free and we can't sleep AND we can't have sex?" Ginny stated.

They both just laughed for a few moments and it soon died down. Draco turned to Ginny and saw her starting to overthink and he pulled her closer to him.

"Don't do that."

"Do what?" she whispered.

"Start questioning everything; you tell me not to do it and yet you're doing it right now." he lightly teased her.

"Sorry, I just can't stop thinking about them....... I miss them."

"I know Ginny...... I know." he said softly, placing a kiss on the top of her head.

"I also can't stop thinking about-"

"DON'T....... say it." Draco pleaded.

"About your Mom and Charlie snogging." she said quickly before Draco could cover her mouth.

He grabbed at her sides and started violently tickling her until her laughs filled the room. "What did I say Weaslette?" he teased, continuing to tickle her.

He stopped after another moment and suddenly pressed his lips against hers. Hearing Ginny laugh made him smile and he was happy to hear her sound happy for a few moments and get her mind off of the twins. He couldn't stop thinking about them either, but he knew Ginny was having a harder time dealing with the separation than he was. It wasn't that he missed them any less, but he knew he had to stay strong for Ginny at this time and seeing her feel so much pain and sorrow killed him.

"Come on," he said, abruptly getting out of bed.

"Where are we going?" she asked, sitting up.

"Let's go do some flying." he said, throwing on his clothes and some shoes before leading the way out of the room.

A giant smile spread across Ginny's face as she quickly followed behind him down to the back porch.

_______________________________________________________________________

Draco got up the next morning and made his way to the bathroom and planned on going back to sleep after the sleepless night he and Ginny had. He heard someone down in the kitchen and instead made his way downstairs to see who it was. He was surprised to see it was his Mother and she was........ cooking?

"Mother? Are you..... making breakfast?" he asked in surprise.

"I sure am, Molly isn't here to do it, so who else is there?" She smiled brightly at him while flipping a pancake onto the plate beside the stove.

"I suppose." he said slowly before taking a seat at the table.

He listened to her hum a bit as she continued making breakfast and his thoughts went back to what Ginny had told him last night.

"Uh..... Mother, are you and Charlie.......uh..... seeing each other?" he asked cautiously, wincing a bit at how wrong it sounded.

"What do you mean?" she asked with her back turned.

"Are you um....."

"Are you trying to ask if the Weasley boy and myself are dating Draco?"

"I guess," he answered, making a disgusted face.

"Well then, no, but we are-"

"Please don't say it."

"Fooling around if that's what you're trying to get at."

"GOD MOTHER!"

"Well, you asked dear."

"But he's A LOT younger than you and your-"

He stopped talking when she turned to face him with a threatening glare. "I'm what?"

"Nevermind." he mumbled.

Harry and Bill had come down suddenly and took a seat at the table.

"We're in the middle of a private conversation can you guys get lost." Draco snarled.

"Oh ..... he found out about Charlie?" Harry asked casually as he grabbed a few pancakes off the plate Narcissa had just set down on the table.

"It's about time, that's been going on for how long?" Bill asked.

"I don't know seems like-"

"WOW WHAT? HOW DOES EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS?" Draco shouted, running his hands over his face at the horrid images that invaded his mind.

"Oh, stop being so dramatic Draco; it's nothing more than mindless sex." Narcissa said so casually, but somehow it sounded so proper the way she said it.

"PLEASE STOP IT, PLEASE DO NOT EVER USE THAT WORD IN FRONT OF ME AGAIN." Draco was practically whining as he covered his ears and buried his face in his arms.

"Seriously though Draco, Charlie's an adult and so is your Mother, who cares what they do." Bill said shrugging his shoulders.

Draco groaned in frustration. "Excuse me, but I need to...... to just get out of this room and away from this conversation" he said quickly and ran back upstairs.

"Morning Draco." came Charlie's voice from down the hall.

"I knew I should have went back to sleep this morning." Draco mumbled to himself and ignoring Charlie; making his way into Ginny's room.

He threw himself on the bed, letting his thoughts go anywhere else than the conversation taking place downstairs. He didn't know why he cared as much as he did about it, after all it was his Mother's decision and they both were adults....it was just...... weird. He thought it was even more weird that his Mother of all people would be the fool around type, but with everything going on these past few months he wondered if it was as weird as he thought it to be. He gave another sigh and buried his face into the pillow beside the sleeping redhead next to him and drifted off into some much needed rest.
