Ginny heard the sound of distant laughing hit her ears, making her stir in her sleep. The laughing became louder and she opened her eyes and looked around her bedroom at the Burrow.

"GINNY, BREAKFAST!" she heard her mother yell out.

She climbed out of bed and looked out the window, the sun was shining brightly and she thought how nice it would be to ride her broom today. She headed downstairs and heard laughing again, except it was more a small giggle......a baby's giggle. She walked into the kitchen and saw her mum place a plate down in her usual spot and motioned for her to sit.

She went to walk over when she stopped and saw her father sitting at the head of the table.

"Dad?" She ran over and threw her arms around him.

"Well, good morning to you too, Ginbug, I wish I got Good morning hugs like this every day," he laughed. "Right, Lily?" he said, making the baby sitting in on his knee giggle again.

"Lily?" Ginny whispered out, her eyes welling with tears.

As soon as Lily saw Ginny, she started whining for her to pick her up as she stretched out her little arms for Ginny to take her.

"Looks like someone wants their mummy," Arthur said, passing her off to Ginny.

Ginny took the baby in her arms and looked at her, she was perfect, and she had Harry's eyes of course. She couldn't believe she was holding her daughter, the feeling of having her daughter in her arms made everything in her life good again. Lily took her little hand and placed it on Ginny's cheek and just gave this little babble before she smiled. Ginny hugged her little body to her and felt her soft ginger strands tickle her nose as she took in the smell of her hair.

"Ginny, what's wrong, dear?" asked her mother, seeing the tears in Ginny's eyes.

Ginny looked at Lily's little face, "Nothing, I'm just happy," she said, placing a kiss on Lily's forehead. "I love you, baby girl....mummy loves you so much."

She heard Lily's giggling start to fade and she suddenly opened her eyes and was staring at the bedroom she had been staying in at the Zabini's. She just smiled at the memory of her dream; she finally got to hold her while she was so full of life. Even if it was just a dream, it was something more than she could ever hope for.

She saw it was pretty early still and decided to get up and made her way downstairs to the kitchen where she found her mother already starting breakfast. Molly stopped when she saw Ginny enter the kitchen, she had been trying to talk to Ginny since she found out what happened but she hardly said a word to her.

"Do you want some help?" Ginny asked, giving her a small smile.

Molly happily nodded. "I would love that."

Ginny started to mix some pancake batter and looked at her mother's face. She was so heartbroken over losing her father; her parents were the happiest couple she knew. They loved each other so much; she knew how heartbroken her mum was.

"I dreamed of Dad and Lily," she said.

Molly looked at her and gave a wide smile.

"Of course you were cooking breakfast in the dream and Dad was in his usual spot," she laughed, making Molly give a light laugh also.

"I miss him so much, Ginny."

"I know, me too, Mum......me too."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ginny made her way down the hall after helping her mum with breakfast and gave a quick knock on Draco's bedroom door.

"Come in," he called out before she walked inside.

She watched him for a moment going through his drawers.

"Breakfast is ready," she said, leaning against the door frame.

He slid his shirt off and threw it aside before throwing another one on, his hair was still wet from his shower as it hung around his face. "Just trying to find something decent to put on, I miss my wardrobe," he said, taking his shirt off once more as he looked for another.

Ginny couldn't help but stare, it had been a while since she and Draco were intimate and the mere thought of being that way again with him scared her. She felt wrong for even thinking of him in that way after the recent events. She quickly looked away from his bare chest as he turned to look at her.

"I guess this will have to do," he said, sliding his final decision over his head.

"Perfect," she said.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"It's fine, it's not sore or anything anymore," Harry said.

"Let me see," Pansy said with her hand on her hip.

"No"

"I said let me see it," she demanded, attempting to lift his shirt as he fought to keep it down.

"I told you, it's all healed."

Pansy reached forward and pinched his side.

"AHH, FUCK! WHAT THE HELL, PANSY?" he growled out.

"Yeah, see I knew you were still in pain," she said, giving him a smug smile.

"You're a psycho."

"You have no idea baby, now, here take this," she said, shoving a pain relief potion in his hands.

"Um, hey," Ginny called from the doorway.

They both snapped their heads over to her.

"Oh, hey Gin," Harry said, looking at her forgetting him and Pansy's playful banter.

She gave a small smile. "Uh, can I talk to you for a moment.....in private?" she asked, as she fidgeted with her hands.

"Yeah, sure," he said.

"Actually......I was talking to Pansy." Ginny said, locking eyes with Harry.

He just looked at her; he assumed she wanted to talk to Pansy about what happened to her. "Oh, of course," he said before he left the room and closed the door.

"What's up, Weaslette?" Pansy asked, taking a seat on the bed.

"Um.....this is actually really awkward."

"Just say what's on your mind," she said, urging her to go on.

"Uh, how long....how long after everything that happened to you.....how long was it before......you know..." she trailed off.

"Before.....what?" Pansy asked.

"Before.....you were.....you know-"

"Oh," Pansy finally caught on. "Had sex again?" she blurted out.

"Yeah," Ginny said, her hands were shaking at this point from the uncomfortable conversation.

Pansy seemed to pick up on this and patted the spot beside her for Ginny to sit. "Listen, Ginny.... everyone is different. I didn't have a need or want afterward because I wasn't with anyone. Harry was the first person I was with after all of that and that was a while later. Now that doesn't mean I wouldn't have done it sooner. I'm assuming and hoping that we're talking about Draco and not Longbottom?" she teased.

Ginny just laughed. "Yes, definitely Draco," she felt a bit more relaxed after Pansy's casual and open take on the situation.

"Well, when I was finally with Harry in an intimate way I was worried how I would feel after it.....during it......even before. But, when it was happening.....it just felt right and I wasn't nervous and somehow, I felt safe," she said, her tone more serious and full of emotion.

Ginny just nodded, she completely understood what she meant. Her mind went back to that day in Draco's bedroom when she accidentally took the Veritaserum and how amazing her experience with Draco was.

"Besides, Draco would NEVER initiate things probably after what happened and even if he did, he would make sure you were ready for that," she said with a smile. "He loves you too much."

"Thanks, Pansy," she said with a small smile.

"No problem Ginny, I'm here if you ever want to talk."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ginny took a seat at the table beside Draco and gave him a small smile before they both turned their attention to Harry. She saw Luna was at the meeting today and was happy to see her up and about; she was still her quirky self but not as much as she once was. Ginny hoped after she continued to heal, she would be back to normal......well Luna's version of normal.

"I called an emergency meeting because this just came a little while ago," Harry said, holding up the letter. "It's just addressed to the Order and I haven't opened it yet."

Everybody stared at Harry in anticipation. He opened it up and looked to see who it was from first and his eyes snapped over to Draco. "It's from Narcissa."

Ginny could feel Draco's body tense up just by sitting next to him, she instinctively put her hand on his.

I don't have much time to write this, but I just wanted you all to know I have not gone mad. I just want Chamberlain and his men to think I have and to think I'm on their side. I will be safer this way as well. I overheard Will talking to Joe about one of their brothers.....Ethan, I think his name is. He IS NOT here and from the vibe I got he doesn't know of any of the horrid things his brothers have done...I don't think they speak. They also mentioned a girl's name.....maybe a sister, but from what they said she is supposed to be in hiding......they seem quite protective over her.....Elizabeth I think. I don't know the details, but maybe you can find Ethan and use him or this girl against them?

Narcissa

"Finally, something of advantage to us," Ron said.

"Even if we find Ethan or this Elizabeth girl, we don't know that Chamberlain will even respond the way we think, he might not care," Hermione explained.

"Yeah, but it doesn't seem like we really have much choice right now," Lucius said. "Having Narcissa on the inside is a huge advantage to us alone. If she could figure out where she is then we could finally find where Chamberlain and his men are hiding out."

"Will mentioned something about a sister when he told me about his family, but he said she was killed. So Elizabeth can't be his sister. Unless, she's not really dead and she really is in hiding, then he must want to keep her protected," Ginny said.

A few people were surprised to hear her speak up; she had barely spoken a sentence since she got back.

"That's very true Miss Weasley, however, are we suggesting or about to stoop to their level and hold someone against their will?" McGonagall asked.

"Nobody said anything about kidnapping or abducting anyone so all of you need to calm down. First, let's try to find Ethan and see if he'll talk to us, maybe he knows about Elizabeth." Harry said, holding his hands up to stop anyone else from talking. "The other bit of news that Mrs. Zabini gave me this morning is this," he said, throwing a copy of the Daily Prophet in the middle of the table.

Ginny was the first to grab it when she saw Harry's picture on it. "YOU'RE BEING ACCUSED OF MURDERING KINGSLEY?" she yelled out, anger rising in her voice.

"That's how Will was able to drive me out of the Ministry and gain control," Harry said.

"So technically, anyone of us can walk in there without being killed or attacked?" Draco asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, yes, it's still the Ministry....there are still laws and rules that are somewhat in place. Not all Aurors will follow Chamberlain. He has crooked Aurors working for him most definitely, but he would be stupid to do anything there." Harry explained. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, there is probably a file on Ethan or Elizabeth, maybe someone could-"

"NO!" Harry cut him off. "If Will was to catch any of us stealing....we might as well consider us all dead."

"What about Polyjuice Potion? If one of us could look like Will or Joe, we could look through as many files as we wanted," Hermione suggested.

"That's a great idea, but we would need someone to get close enough to them to get a hair sample," Ron chimed in.

Draco and Ginny exchanged a quick look and he shook his head no at her, already knowing what she had in mind. Harry also saw her from across the table and slammed his fist down in anger.

"DON'T!" he yelled at her. "Don't you even think it," he practically hissed at her before he quickly left the room.

Ginny got up and followed him out into the hall, she just watched him run his hands through his messy hair.

"Harry-"

"Do you actually think I would EVER let you near him again? Promise me you won't do anything stupid, Ginny."

"But, Harry-"

"PROMISE ME!" he screamed at her, making her jump.

She quickly nodded.

He grabbed her and pulled her into a hug, she could hear his heart racing against her. The mere thought of her even doing something like that had him frantic. He grabbed her face with both hands and looked at her.

"I love how brave you are Ginny, and I love that you will put your own life and well-being on the line to help someone else, but please.....PLEASE.....don't do anything stupid."

"I promise."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ginny appeared outside of the gates to Hogwarts and took in the giant castle for a few moments. When McGonagall suggested they take a look through the school files to see if any of the Chamberlain family had attended she and a few others wanted the opportunity to get out of the house and revisit their old school. McGonagall thought there might be an address they could look into in hopes of finding at least Ethan.

It had been so long since Ginny had been back here, sure she had a few bad memories but the good ones outweighed the bad. She hadn't smiled this much in so long it seemed and when she looked at Harry, Ron and Hermione it made her smile even wider at their reactions. She turned to look at Draco, he glanced at her and gave her a small smirk.

"Does seeing this place remind you of how much an arse you were to us?" she teased.

He gave a small laugh, "Ah, yes the good old days." he joked as Ginny slapped him on the arm.

They stuck together and walked around a good part of the castle just reminiscing of their Hogwarts days. Draco walked into the Gryffindor common room with the rest of them and looked around.

"So this is where the famous trio partook in recreational activity?" he said.

"This is where we came to curse the bloody hell out of you," Ron laughed.

Draco threw a pillow from the couch at Ron's face and Ginny went over and picked it up with a small giggle. She looked out the window over to the Quidditch pitch.

"Guys, I have an idea."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

He was breathing heavily as sweat dripped from his forehead and he grabbed a bottle of water and downed most of it. He looked over at Harry who was in the same state he was and he shook his head.

"We're fuckin pathetic looking right now," Draco said, wiping his forehead off.

"Tell me about it, I'm not as limber as I once was....she's putting us to shame," Harry said through his heavy breaths as Ginny came to a halt on her broom in front of them with the snitch in her hand.......again.

"Come on you guys, we've only done three games. Do you need a break?" she said, her hair sticking to her sweaty face, but her smile was as radiant as ever.

She looked over at Ron, who was lying on the bench with his head in Hermione's lap after the first game was over. She gave a small giggle and then looked at Harry and Draco again. "Come on grandpas'.....are you upset because you're losing to a girl?"

Draco got up and got on his broom again. "Alright Weaslette, this time I'm not holding back,"

"Oh, wow really? So this time I can actually expect a mediocre performance from you?"

Draco gave her an angry sneer before he pushed off the ground and went in search of the snitch. Ginny just sat on her broom with her feet on the ground still and watched him.

"You better get up there before he finds it," Harry said with an amused smile.

"Oh, he's not going to find it," she said.

"Why's that?"

"Because I still have it in my hand," she laughed, holding out her palm to reveal the snitch.

They both erupted into laughter before she finally let it go and then took off after it.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Draco finished drying his hair and threw the towel aside and stood in the middle of the Head Boy room in the Slytherin common room. He walked over to some pictures on the wall of previous Slytherin students from past years. There were a few Quidditch team ones where his eyes landed on one of his team. He just gave a small smirk at what a slimeball he was before he sensed someone's eyes on him and turned to see Ginny standing there.

"Nice! This Head boy room is way bigger than the Head boy and Girl's ones in the Gryffindor common room."

"Don't get too jealous, the water pressure sucks, look at my poor hair," he said as he attempted to fix it.

"Oh, my water pressure was just fine," she teased, waving her washed ginger locks back and forth making him give a small smile.

"Did McGonagall find anything?" he asked.

"Yeah, actually, all of them went here, except for this Elizabeth girl....there is no record of her, but she's looking for addresses and some other stuff so....so far so good," she said.

He nodded and found himself just looking at her. She was absolutely stunning in every way possible. Her smile was contagious, he couldn't help but feel anything but happy when he looked at her smile.

"What?" she asked, noticing his eyes on her as she walked over to him.

He just shook his head. "Nothing," he said, looking back up to see her eyes locked on his.

She could tell it was something more than nothing, "You're lying," she whispered.

He reached up and tucked her hair behind her ear before he gently ran his thumb over her bottom lip. The smell of her hair reached his nose and the feel of her breath hitting his thumb drove him crazy. He felt horrible for thinking of how badly he wanted her right now, but he couldn't help the way she made him feel.

Ginny heard the conversation she had with Pansy the other day ring through her head. She looked up into those mercury eyes, the feel of his hand on her face and his body against hers made everything seem ok. She didn't feel scared....she felt safe and she knew she wouldn't be able to stop once she started to kiss him.

Draco grabbed her face with both hands and pulled her to him and hesitated for a moment before she closed the distance between them with her lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled herself closer to him as he held her close to him. The taste of her kisses was intoxicating and he heard her let out the tiniest of moans that drove his hands to travel down to the small of her back and push her even closer to him.

He felt her hands slide under his shirt and the feel of her hands on his bare chest made him slide hers off over her head. He barely had it over her head when she had her lips on his again. He was surprised by her aggressiveness and took it as a sign to get a little rough with her. He unclasped her bra as she undid his pants then his hands went to her waistline where he unbuttoned her pants. They were both completely naked at this point and had their lips locked with one another as he backed her up onto the bed.

His body was on top of her as his hands traveled her naked form and his lips traveled down to her neck. She let out a pleasurable moan and ran her fingers through his hair and her other hand along his back. His hand traveled down to her thigh when he suddenly felt her entire body tense up. The hand she had on his back dug into him and he stopped to look at her.

"Are you ok?" he asked her.

She nodded before she pulled him back down to kiss him. After a few moments he was convinced she was ok to keep going he started to let his hands travel again. He let his hand travel between her legs when she tensed up once more and he stopped again and looked at her.

"I'm so sorry," she said through her heavy breathing. "I really want this.....I just...." she trailed off.

He looked at her, why was she apologizing to him, he should be the one apologizing. "Hey, you don't have to apologize for a damn thing. I will stop, the last thing I want to do is make you feel uncomfortable or unsafe," he said, caressing her arm.

"I don't want you to stop.....and I do feel safe," she said in a small voice.

"Are you sure?"

She nodded before she took his hand and guided him down to her thigh before she let go and let out a shaky breath.

"Hey, you actually let me be on top this time," he smirked at her making her laugh. "It's always a fight to see who gets to be on top."

"You get to be on top all the time."

"Are you kidding? Once maybe, all the other times you're always so controlling," he said, making her slap him playfully.

He started kissing her again, she relaxed a lot after Draco changed the subject to get her mind off of her uncertainty. She let him between her legs this time and suddenly felt his erection against her begging for entrance.

He looked at her, still a bit of uncertainty on her face. "Hey," he said making her eyes lock with his. "I love you and I would never hurt you, Ginny."

She smiled at his words before she pressed her lips to his once more and felt him push into her. She was so worried about how she would feel during this moment, but the only thing she felt right now was how incredibly in love she was with the man on top of her. This thought and feeling made the moment that much more pleasurable and she soon let out a loud moan that had Draco rocking harder into her.

She rolled him onto his back as her hair wildly fell around her face and over her bare shoulders. She felt his hands on her hips pulling her down harder onto him, every thrust becoming more and more pleasurable. She felt him kissing her chest; his tongue running over her nipple and he gave it a tiny nip making her give a satisfying smirk.

He felt her orgasm around his throbbing cock and felt her practically collapse in his arms as he turned her on her back once more and was on top of her again. As soon as he felt her climax he released his soon after. He just looked at her to see if she was still ok, he was so relieved to see a smile on her face.

"See, I told you-you're always on top," he said through his heavy breathing.

She let out a light giggle. "I let you get some top action, you won in the end." she laughed against his lips as he kissed her once more.

He looked down at her, "Are you sure you're ok?" he asked again, he was worried she regretted everything that just happened.

He started questioning everything in his head and cursed himself for not holding off. Ginny seemed to pick up on his thoughts because she grabbed his face with both hands and looked him straight in the eyes.

"I promise, I'm ok......I really am."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"So what exactly is the plan here? We're just going to knock on this person's door and be like "Oh, hey do you know where the family that used to live here is now because they are a bunch of psychotic murders?" Ron said, walking up the street with Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Draco beside him.

"Obviously not, Ronald, but it's a start so let's try something," Hermione snapped, shooting him a glare.

"Someone's got mood swings-" He stopped when she gave him an even deadlier glare.

They all stopped in front a large suburban house and just stood there for a few moments admiring it.

"It's hard to believe someone like Chamberlain lived here at one point," Draco said with a sneer.

"Alright, well all of us can't go up to the door, we'll look mental.....Hermione....actually you seem to be a bit snappy today, Ginny, come with me," Harry said.

"What about us?" Ron asked as he and Draco stood in the street as Harry and Ginny walked up the driveway.

"Um, no offense, but neither of you guys is very personable," Harry shrugged with a smirk.

Ron scoffed at his comment and turned to Draco, "Do you believe that?"

"Yes, Weasley, I do, now fuck off," he said, walking away from Ron.

Harry and Ginny made their way up to the front door and rang the doorbell.

"You think this is a waste of time?" She asked him.

"It's a long shot, but I'm willing to try anything," he said with a small smile.

The door opened and they both stood there completely caught off guard. The man was definitely from the Chamberlain line, he had the same features and looked almost identical to Will.

"Harry Potter?" he asked.

Harry and Ginny exchanged a quick looked.

"I'm sorry, do we know-"

"Know each other? No, but who doesn't know who you are? You did defeat Voldemort after all....it's really an honor to meet you in person," he said with a bright smile.

"Oh, um....thanks. Uh, so....are you Ethan?" he asked.

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Is it possible we could take a few minutes of your time?" Harry asked.

"Absolutely, come on in," he said, opening the door all the way for them to walk inside.

"Uh, I have some friends waiting for us, do you mind if they join us?" Harry asked, nodding to Hermione, Ron, and Draco waiting in the street.

"Not at all, any friend of yours is a friend of mine," he said happily.

Harry gave him a forced smile as he whistled down to the others to join him and Ginny.

"This is getting really weird," Ginny whispered to Harry.

"You're just jealous because he's a fan of my work," Harry joked, making Ginny give him a hard pinch.

Ethan led them all into the living room where most of them took a seat. The house was cozy and clean and quite inviting. Ginny paced the room a moment and took in some pictures on the wall. She felt uneasy being inside of this house and being so close to a man that resembled Will so much was starting to make her stomach turn. She was pulled from her thoughts when a woman walked into the room.

"Alice, this is Mr. Potter and a few of his friends, they just had a few questions. This is my wife Alice," Ethan said.

She gave them all a warm smile and then excused herself to go pour some drinks.

"So, what kind of questions do you have for me, Mr. Potter? I know you work at the Ministry so is this questioning coming from-"

"No," Harry said, cutting him off. "This has nothing to do with the Ministry or any case,"

"We were hoping to ask you some questions in regards to your brother......Will." Hermione cautiously asked.

"William?" he whispered out, his entire persona changed at the mention of his brother's name. "He's alive?" he asked, unsure of what the answer would be.

"Yes, why would you think he was dead?" Harry asked.

"I haven't spoken to William or any of my brothers for years now.....ever since......" he trailed off.

"Ever since what?" Ginny asked, she needed to know what was at the end of that sentence.

Ethan cleared his throat, it was apparent the topic had become personal. "Please know, the only reason I'm agreeing to share any of this information with you is that I'm grateful to you and your friends for stopping Voldemort. My family had suffered some horrible things during those dark days....my parents were murdered....so needless to say I feel somewhat indebted to you," he explained.

Harry just nodded as he waited in anticipation for more information.

"After our parents were killed during a Death Eater raid, naturally Will and I as well as my other brothers and sister were filled with anger. My brother William was desperate for revenge and one night......he talked some of my brothers, myself included, into taking out a few Death Eaters, but things went south and Will and our sister Jessica were taken. This particular group of followers wasn't keeping prisoners and so my sister was..... brutally raped and murdered right in front of Will."

Ginny felt her body stiffen as she listened to what Will's past really held. It was hard to hear and somehow so easy for her to imagine since she had met a similar fate not too long ago. She felt Draco's hand on her back and gave her a comforting rub as he picked up on her emotions.

"After Jessica was killed, for some reason they let Will go, we weren't really sure why at the time, but that night when he went home to his wife-"

"Wife?" they all said in unison.

"Yes, William had a wife...her name was Elaina," Ethan said.

"Had? So she's...."

"Dead? Yes.....that night my brother was put under an Imperius curse and he was forced to kill her and his two children."

Ginny hated herself for feeling any kind of sympathy for Will right now, the man who raped her and killed her child and father.....how the hell did she feel an ounce of sympathy for him right now. Perhaps it was understanding more than sympathy? Was she justifying his actions? Definitely not, but she could definitely understand what drove him to become the man he is today.

"After that happened, Will disappeared for a few weeks and then turned up at my doorstep one day with this plan for vengeance. As much as I wanted justice I couldn't follow him and so we never spoke since. I have a wife and a kid of my own that I need to think of first and he was too overcome with anger to understand.....he really is a good man.....all of them are." he explained, a sad look on his face. "I heard of my brother Thomas' death from Joseph a few years ago, but never knew what happened and never heard from any of my brothers since."

"I killed him," Draco said suddenly.

"Excuse me?" Ethan asked.

"DRACO!" Harry yelled out.

"Screw this guy, I don't give a fuck what any of these bastards went through, what about what we're going through? What his scumbag brother has done to all of us?" Draco shouted, his anger rising.

"What has Will done?" Ethan asked, a look of genuine concern on his face.

"WHAT HAS HE DONE? MORE LIKE WHAT HASN'T HE DONE!" Draco yelled, flipping the coffee table over getting ready to jump on Ethan before Harry held him back.

"Draco, we need answers.....calm down," Harry pleaded with him.

Draco just shook his head, he looked over to Ginny, who had tears in her eyes from the overwhelming information they all got.

He turned back to Ethan, "Your brother......brothers, may have been good men at one time, but they are nothing more than killers now. A good man doesn't kill unborn babies or almost murder pregnant women. A good man doesn't slaughter someone's father before their eyes... A GOOD MAN DOESN'T RAPE A DEFENSELESS WOMAN. A GOOD MAN DOESN'T HANG A PREGNANT WOMAN BY A NOOSE FROM A TREE!" he bellowed, gesturing towards Hermione making Ron look at her with a shocked expression.

Harry didn't bother holding Draco back any longer, he was right.... it was about them now not Will and his past.

Draco grabbed Ethan roughly by the shirt and threw him up against the wall. "I killed Thomas...I killed Johnathan and I'm looking forward to the day I kill that bastard Joe....and as for Will.....he'll get what's coming to him," he said with a sneer before he released him.

The room fell silent.

"Who is Elizabeth?" Ginny suddenly asked.

Ethan looked right at her, he could see all the pain in Ginny's face.

Ginny could tell he didn't want to answer her, but she could tell he was in shock over the horrid news he heard about his brothers. "She's Will's youngest daughter.....she was almost killed by him that night, but the curse was lifted before he did any more harm to her. She was sent away to live with relatives and from my understanding, Will hasn't seen her since.......he won't go near her after what happened."

"Do you know where she is?" Harry asked.

Ethan reluctantly nodded.

"Good, because you're going to help us kidnap her."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Draco knocked on Ginny's bedroom door twice before he opened it and saw her looking out the window. She turned to look at him and then turned back to the night sky.

"Where is he?" she asked, looking at the moonlight shine across the Zabini's front lawn.

"He's staying in the room across the house near my father's, he'll keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't take off," he said, walking over to her.

When they forced Ethan to come with them so that he could take them to Elizabeth tomorrow, Ginny felt quite uncomfortable. He resembled Will a lot and then to have him sleeping under the same roof as her made it feel that much more uneasy.

"I'm sorry I flipped out earlier-"

"Don't be.....I almost felt bad for that prick," she said. "Yeah, it's horrible what happened to him, but that is no excuse for what he has done to us," she choked out.

He gently grabbed her shoulders and looked at her for a moment before he pulled her to him and wrapped her in a tight hug. "Get some sleep, Ginny, it has been a long day," he said, placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

She watched him give her a small smile before he pulled away and started heading towards the door.

"Draco?"

He turned back to her, "Yeah?"

"Can you stay with me tonight?" she asked, her eyes piercing into his.

He was surprised by her request, he was expecting some distance from her after everything that happened today, but instead, here she was asking him to stay with her.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I just want to feel safe tonight," she said in a small voice.

He smiled at her words, he felt so happy at this tiny moment, it was always these small moments with Ginny that made him the happiest. He suddenly scooped her up playfully in his arms and carried her over to the bed and then plopped her down harder than he meant to.

"Ouch! So romantic of you," she mumbled as she rubbed her hip.

"Well, if it was romance you wanted," he said as he slid into bed beside her and nuzzled into her neck and gave her an over exaggerated cuddling session making Ginny start to giggle.

He stopped finally and just watched her laugh for a moment. He put his arm around her and pulled her close to him. He never officially slept with Ginny like this unless it was after sex and he loved every second of it. The feel of her body against his made everything alright.

They both lay there in silence for a while, he could feel Ginny's light breath hit his chest as her other arm was draped over him. He could smell her hair and focused on the feeling of being able to hold her right now. He thought back to just a few days ago when she wouldn't let him near her and how heartbreaking it was for him to give her the space she needed.

"I got to hold Lily," Ginny softly said.

"What?" he asked, confused by her sudden statement.

She propped herself up on her elbow and looked at him with a smile. "I had this amazing dream where I saw my father holding her. In the dream when she first saw me she wanted me to hold her.....she cried for me......for her mum," she explained as she got lost in the memory of the dream again.

He studied her face as she spoke about her daughter. "How was it? To hold her?"

She locked eyes with him and a bright smile stretched across her face. "It was amazing.....it was so fulfilling."

He smiled at her.

She lay back down against him again.

"Do you think you might want to have a baby again someday?" he asked.

She propped herself up again and looked at him and he quickly cleared his throat as he realized what he asked.

"Sorry, I don't know why I even asked that." he stammered for words as he grew uncomfortable with the conversation.

"Draco, it's ok," she said with a smile, making him relax a bit. "So, by asking me about kids is this like a general question or like us, as in you and I having kids together?"

"Whoa, first off I said A BABY, no kids as in plural," he said, making her slap him playfully. "I suppose we could entertain that idea of you and I having some sort of offspring," he said, making her laugh at his choice of words.

"Yes, I would definitely want my own family someday," she said.

He could tell her mind started to wander as she laid her head down again on his chest. "What do you think this offspring of ours will look like?"

"Well, my ginger hair will probably take over so definitely a redhead," she giggled.

"Great and it will probably have your stubbornness-"

"And your arrogance."

"And let's not forget all the sass that comes along with being Ginny Weasley," he added.

"Or that narcissistic nature of yours."

"And they'll be defiant as fuck and go against everything we tell them."

They both just looked at each other after hearing all the traits they possessed.

"Well, fuck, our kid is going to be a real asshole," Draco said, making him and Ginny fall into a fit of laughter.

They lay there in silence again for a few moments.

"Do you think this whole Elizabeth thing will work?" Ginny asked.

"I don't know, it could end up just pissing him off that much more, but we have to try something. We just need to have the upper hand for once and I think this just might be what gives it to us," he said, squeezing her a little tighter before they both settled down and fell asleep.
