I own nothing of the Harry Potter world, it is owned by the wonderful JK Rowling and her minions. I am making absolute no money from this.
Chapter 3
A/N Thank you to all of you that are reading, and leting me know what you think. It really motivates me to keep writing. I promise, we\'ll be getting into some more plot here in the next couple chapters. Draco has to stop mooping around, he has a son to look after. Anyways, on to...
Chapter 3
“Everybody\'s talking
But they don\'t say a thing
They look at me with sad eyes
But I don\'t want the sympathy ”
Low - Kelly Clarkson
Draco stopped in front of the closed parlor doors; breathing a sigh. He had only become civil with Potter after the war, and everything was sorted out. If it hadn’t been for Hermione, he won’t be here right now; and as much as it pained him now, he wouldn’t have it any other way. He leaned in and listened quietly to the soft whispering that seeped out through the crack in the door. Sighing again, he slide open the doors.
“Good morning, I wasn’t expecting anyone so soon” He greeted with a small smile. Out of habit, his eyes shot to the painting of him and Hermione above the fireplace. It didn’t move as many paintings do in the magical world; No, this one was painted in the muggle world by Hermione’s request. Seeing her smiling face and bright eyes pulled at his heart and he had to take a deep breath to stop the tears that brimmed his eyes. He pulled his eyes away from the portrait, and looked at Harry and Ginny.
Ginny had her hands folded at the base of her large belly, already pregnant with their second child. Like her mother, she wanted a large family and with Harry’s lack of parenting he wanted a large family so he could be the parent he never had. Harry ran his hand through his untamable hair and looked at Draco sadly; his eyes were puffy and red, clearly showing a night crying. ‘So I wasn’t the only one up last night’ Draco thought as he sat down across from them.
“How have you been?” Ginny spoke softly, “This must be so hard on you.”
Draco laughed uncomfortably “That’s one way of putting in; I assume you got my letter then with the funeral arrangements?”
“Yes, have you informed Hermione’s parents?” Harry asked.
Draco nodded, “It took a little work to track them down, they gone another vacation.”
An awkward silence filled the room, making everyone uncomfortable. Draco, feeling like he couldn’t breathe stood up suddenly “Excuse me, I’m going to see what’s keeping the tea”
Ginny stood up just as quickly when the doors closed “What’s the matter with you?” She looked shockingly at Harry as she started to pace the room. ‘For someone so pregnant, she had a lot of speed’ Harry thought
“What do you mean ‘what’s the matter with me?”
“You just sit there and not saying anything at all, can you not imagine what he’s going through? He just lost his wife the same day he’s given a child. I can’t believe he’s managed this far” She said, hitting him lightly in the arm.
Harry shot up like someone pinched him on the bum. “What he’s been through?!” He nearly shouted at Ginny
“I just lost my best friend of nine years, Gin! It’s not like I haven’t lost enough people in my life!” He stepped past her and went to the window, trying to calm himself again.
Ginny sat down again, burying her head in her hands. “I’m sorry Harry; it’s hard on all of us.” He looked at her, and saw tears running down her cheeks.
“Oh, Ginny” He moved away from the window and sat beside her and took her in his arms. They held onto each other, for dear life.
Neither noticed Draco standing in the doorway; he cleared his throat. “I’m sorry guys, but some stuff came up with the house elves, and I have to take care of it. Ninny here will show you the way out. Thanks for dropping by” He turned and left; going back upstairs.
Again let me know what you think.
