The Second Wizarding War did not have to happen. The Dark Lord has long been defeated since Harry Potter was saved by his mother's love from Voldemort's killing curse. The orphaned Boy-Who-Lived attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where he met his bestfriends Hermione and Ron, the Weasleys, and of course his nemesis, Draco Malfoy. To finally end generations-old feud between the Malfoys and Weasleys, Draco and Ginny's grandfathers had a magical agreement that entails Draco and Ginny to marry each other or else lead Lucius and Arthur to their deaths. Will hate persist or perhaps love will bloom?Category: Works in Progress
1 WEEK!!! YES!!!
*cough cough* yeah *awkward* hehehehehe...
I cannot explain how excited I am. You did a great job combining the parts from the drama and your creativity. It's awesome.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER.
Author's Response: Thank you. I hope I can keep up with your expectations. 😂
Please do continue. There are so many amazing stories here that are left as WIP. It is heartbreaking. I really liked the first chapter and it is a great plot!
All the best :)
Author's Response: The works-in-progress actually motivated me to write my own Draco and Ginny fanfiction because I want a completed work. Thank you fo reading.
My first kdrama was Princess Hours! Really! I swear!
And having a story inspired by that drama with my all time favourite pairing is like...#_#
Thank you so much for updating. I love their chemistry and I am eagerly waiting for the moment when they will know about their arranged marriage.
Please update soon.
Author's Response: I am pleasantly surprised that there is someone else who knows Goong/Princess Hours here. It is as classic as our favorite pair. I have been thinking of Asian dramas that could work with Draco and Ginny. Princess Hours has been on top of my list. Hopefully, I can experiment with the other plots after I complete this story.
Hi! How are you doing?
Now Harry is interested in Ginny. I liked that you are setting a parallel show of both Draco and Ginny's lives. I just can't wait for them to know about the will and their marriage! b25;b25;b25;
The dads knew!
I hope they marry soon. And the story will show their married life more! Like in Princess Hours?
Thank you so much for the new chapters :*
Author's Response: Thank you for tuning in! Of course there will be chapters of married life soon. They have been plotted in the story board since the start. Sending you virtual winks.
You made me nostalgic with the scenes...
I am glad she informed Harry. Will they get married in the next chapter? If so, I am VERY excited.
Thank you!
Author's Response: Narcissa Malfoy wishes to inform you that based on Ginny's schedule, yes. 🤗
Hi! I loved the details of their honeymoon. And they have a beautiful chemistry for sure.
You are a great tour guide and I love this chapter.
Though I am sad to say...I really did not get the hints :'(
But I know you will work on these hints later in this story so I guess I will match them then! I'll be like "Ahhh...she had said this in that honeymoon chapter!" That will be cool too!
Take care and update soon! No pressure though XD
It is really sweet chapter. Ginny did a great job. And I loved their chemistry!
I know what it feels like when your laptop breaks down. It has happened to me many times. But I am really happy that you are back!
Now, where can they go in France...?
Southern France? I mean I have only seen the part in movies, tv shows or read about it. And the descriptions are always amazing!
I think they will enjoy themselves there!
Author's Response: Yes. It is going to be in Southern France. The exact location will be in the next chapter. Thank you for the support!
YES.
I was waiting for this chapter. I quite believe you know that XD
Given the circumstances they got married in, the whole wedding was beautiful and I can see their chemistry growing slowly. Really liked that it is not instant. Or it would have been weird!
Let's see how their student life and married life will be! They have announced the marriage, right? Cuz there are Dumbledor and the Minister at the wedding? Btw will there be Voldemort later in the story??
Author's Response: Narcissa already made sure that everyone would know about the marriage except Voldemort who is already dead. This is an Alternative Universe where the Dark Lord did not rise again. I hope that is okay with you.

Malfoy was curious. Curious and angry. “So, what do you want from me, Weasley?”
It was the admission of his defeat. Ginny felt the taste of victory - and it was bitter.
“I want influence. I want protection. I want safety.” She stopped, giving him time to assimilate her words, before she played her final card. "I want your name. " When saying the last sentence, however, she could not help the blush that spread across her face.
Malfoy's countenance changed several times in a very short time. Annoyance turned into wariness, then into confusion, and finally, when he really understood what Ginny had implied, his face showed only a profound horror.
I want your name.
I want a marriage.
Oh! Okay! You are a brilliant writer and I trust you. You do you. No problem
Author's Response: Ooooh, you're so sweet! Thank you so much for you trust. See ya soon
I slapped my forehead reading this chapter.
#Fact
Author's Response: hahahaha, I'm not sure why but I really could visualize you doing that! =P
Ginny had so many chances to reveal her pregnancy to Draco!!
*groans*
Author's Response: Yes, this is true.
But remember, she is VERY frightened mother-to-be, alone, with no one to support her. I think in this case her first maternal instinct is to hide because secrecy means safety.
I'm sorry for her, in fact
This character Mrs. Olivia, she is quite interesting. But is she good, or bad? Good for whom and bqd for whom? Is she and her husband secret spies for Trashos I mean Duo and team (You know who I mean)? Or is she baiting Ginny?
Also, where and who is her husband?? Is he involved with whatever she is doing?
I mean it seems he is at a very top post. Yet, he is only mentioned by others. Never read him talk or anything.
Author's Response: Ah, I really enjoy writing Olivia.
I imagine she is what Ginny would become after a few years of living in that society. Someone who, despite having their own ideas and convictions, has adapted to the rules of the game. She's a good person and really can relate to Ginny, even though she's not sure why exactly at this point.
Her husband is the Minister for Magic, but he's being controlled, that's why Olivia has to fight to be the sweet and perfect wife, so they don't harm her husband. I suppose he will appear more as the story progresses.
(I always laugh at the depth of your resentment towards the golden trio. And you're not alone in this, hahaha)
I think Draco will come to save Ginny. She might need a doc. And then he will know!
Author's Response: I think he will, right? I cannot resist the cliche of the gentleman saving the girl.
About him finding out... It's not now, hahaha. Sorry to disappoint you, but it will really take a while.
I REALLY need to develop some points before it. I dont want them to approach because of a child and I think you dont want it as well. It's so... forceful, maybe?
I need them to become closer by themselves.
I am sorry but Ginny was a bit...asking for it to happen.
I am worried about Draco jr but I caanot say the same for Ginny.
Given all her flaws being realistic and all...Ginny is quite annoying, no?
Author's Response: yes, she is hahaha
Of course, I'm saying this from the comfort of my couch, safe and sound.
She's a big pain in the neck with some things, but I couldn't say that I'd act differently in her shoes. She's a mother and is trying to protect her children.
She kind of sacrificed herself to protect James. And she can only think about her new baby, not even about herself.
She was dumb, sure, but I think stressful situations tend to bring out our dumber side, haha
Oh, dear, I LOVE your comments, really. Thank you for everything you've been doing for this story. Hope you continue enjoying it!
See ya very soon
I am so glad Mommy Weasley and Ginny met. I truly hope she does not have to go through this pregnancy alone. I am worried about her mental and physical health. Emotional health too.
Author's Response: Hello, dear.
You know, the scene between Molly and Ginny is one of these kind of things I did not know that I needed until it is alive in front of me. I think I miss my mum, hahaha (living in two different continents right now)
Yes, I agree. Nobody should be alone in a pregnancy. It will be corrected very soon.
I really liked Ginny's perspective here. And she acted really well.
Though I do not know why I imagined Voldy dancing in the black tutu this whole time! Don't ask me why. It might be that time of the month( mine has always been irregular) (sorry for the tmi) *awkward*
Author's Response: I was kinda afraid of this chapter because writing Voldemort is bloody difficult! Everytime I have to make sure it's not too over or too bland. Glad you enjoyed it.
OHHHMY now I cannot take this imagem of my head, THANK YOU hahhaha
black tutu! I'm laughing so hard right now. I'll never see him the same way

Tbh I think Lestrange is one of the biggest loser/useless fellows in fiction. Atleast in those I have ever read. Like why does he even exist? What's his purpose? Why a character like Bellatrix is married to him?! Ok, pure-blood rules and all. But why stayed married after that?
Author's Response: I completely agree! I tried to give him more relevance because he is Draco's uncle but MAN, it's hard, haha
Even more after the Cursed Child (sometimes I want to forget this thing exists), where we see that the 'connection' between Bellatrix and Voldy was much more... ahem, deep that we thought first.
What is Lestrange's issue? Yeah I know power play politics etc. But why is he so bothered? He is not young. He is childless. So, no heir (pureblood's most favorite treasure *gross*). Then what's he gonna do with Draco's position?!
Nuisance!
Draco will be on a trip!
Will Ginny be able to tell him sooner?? I am gettin nervous!!! Argggghhhhh....
I just don't want Ginny to go through this pregnancy alone! She does not even have her fam with her.
This is so scary!!
Author's Response: hahahah, Draco will be away for a while, but I promise you she will tell him before it's too late. Dont be nervous!
Yes, absolutley scary! I would not do that with our favorite girl! (and baby)
Ginny actually doing awesome with legilimens. Draco still does not know.
James is a sweetheart!!
As for what Draco saw in her memories, I definitely do not blame her!! I mean no matter what and who it was, it was part of her life and memories. So, yrah, I hope it does not deter Draco for long!
Author's Response: I totally agree with you. Draco has nothing to do with what happened in Ginny's love life in the past. To be honest, he doesn't have much to do with it the present either, given the nature of their relationship (but that's about to change! hahaha)
Malfoy is just a jealous little creature, poor thing. He's not used to sharing what he thinks is his.
As usual, I loooove your comments. Thank you for everything.
The next chapter should be up in the next few days.
See you soon
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! *cough*
Excuse me...
I have decided I will not talk about anyone of the trasho...I mean 'trio' till Ginny learns their bullshit...Sorry, I mean secret.
Author's Response: hahahahaha, it's only fair! Sometimes I don't feel like writing about them as well, pff!
Let's hope Ginny doesn't get (too) mad at them when she learns their bullshit ... sorry, secret =P
Okay what was I saying?
Oh yes! Mwahahahahahahah!!!
Good news for the Malfoys XD
The funny thing is Ginny did not take any precautions! She would have never think of having to carry Malfoy's baby given EVERYTHING. And the irony is she is an ace potion master!
It is clever and funny.
Author's Response: Oh, you're absolutely correct! Poor Ginny should've known better, being that good at potions like she is. This kind of thing just needs one chance to happen and well... Now she has a problem.
I'm so excited to keep writing about how she'll react. Ginny is very human and compassionate, I love her so much
I somehow knew she would get preggo! And I think this pregnancy will be different from her first one. Cuz the FATHER is there.
It will give them a lot of scope to bond!
Author's Response: hahaha, I tried to surprise you but you threw me a curve ball here! Damn! =P
Yes, they need this little help to bond. (when Ginny decides to tell him the truth, that is).
I've always imagined Draco and Ginny's relationship that way, they take two steps forward, then one step back. The pregnancy will force them to cooperate, to help each other.
As always, thank you for your lovely comments. They are very dear to me.
See ya very soon
The 1st chapter is interesting...
Harry has already broken up with Ginny right?
Which is great btw.
I really liked the concept. It is very true that in between the class of good and bad, light and darkness, there is a state.
I am happy that you plan to explore it.
Author's Response: Thank you for your kind words!
Yes, in that part of the story Harry had already broken up with Ginny. (poor girl! =P)
I'm so happy you liked the concept. It's very very very important here. I don't like the black-and-white, simplistic view where we can clearly distinguish the villains from the good guys. Here, everyone makes decisions of dubious morality.
It is a story about consequences. I hope you continue following it.
Thanks again!
