One Last Chance

Chapter Three

When Ginny got down stairs into her and Harry's bedroom,he was waiting for her on the bed.His arms were crossed and he didn't look too happy.Ginny went to explain,but Harry stopped her.

"Shh,"He told her."you listen first.I do not want Malfoy here,and your parents won't want him here either,they haven't been too pleased with him since he left you sixteen and pregnant.I want him out ASAP.He's a little git that needs to be disposed of.He can go back to Malfoy Manor for all I care,I just don't want him here."Harry looked relieved after he spoke,as if he'd wanted to say if for a long time.

"First off,"Ginny began."I was seventeen.Secondly,I remember what he did to me,I haven't forgiven him,but I'm over him,"She made her way towards the bed and wrapped her arms around Harry's neck."I'm with you,remember?I love you,he won't change that."She made to kiss him,but Harry jerked his head back and pushed her arms off of him.

"So why can't he go back to his damn manor?"He asked,angrily.Ginny was begining to lose her temper.

"Didn't you see all those injuries on him?"She asked,annoyed.

"Yes,I saw them.Your point?"

"His father hurt him.I don't know why or anything,but he did.Draco told me.I know you don't like him and you probably won't understand but I have to help him.Don't you remember how accepting he was of me having Trixie?"She reminded Harry.He stood up and walked away from the bed.

"Well,he didn't exactly take responsibility,remember?"Harry said."Whn you told him he shrugged you off so you had to hunt him down and trap him just to realize she could be his.And you had a one night stand anyway,you know how irresponsible that was?"

"You're one to talk about irresponsibilities,"She retorted,raising her voice slightly."remember when we were screwing around behind Dean Thomas' back?Remember that,Harry?Trixie could have just as easily been yours."

"Well I'd still like to know who's child I'm being a father to."Harry said,raising his voice as well.Ginny rolled her eyes.

"Oh not this again!Why do we always have to come back to this?I just don't want to know who the father is,alright?You're the one who's being a father to Trixie,who cares if you're not her biological father?"

"Ginny,cut the bullshit,alright?I know she's Malfoy's.She has his eyes,and her hair's so light.Face it.So now how am I supposed to be a father to the child of the wizard I hate most next to Voldemort?"Tears began to well up in Ginny's eyes.

"How do you think I feel?"She cried."I'm her mother,I'm supposed to love her!How am I supposed to love her when she looks so much like someone I hate?"Ginny collapsed onto the floor.Harry rushed over to her and sank down to the floor,as well.He wrapped his arms around his girlfriend and held her.

"Shh,it's alright,"Harry said,rocking her back and fourth."I'm sorry I yelled at you.I know it's hard for you.You know what,I want to be Trixie's father.I guess I can try a little bit harder.I do love her,you know I do.The two of you are my life."This calmed Ginny down a little bit.

"I know,it's just hard,"Ginny sobbed."I love her too,but she just looks so much like him.Her eyes,her eyebrows,the shape of her face.I just hate him so much for what he did to me.And I would've turned him away tonight,I wanted to just slam the door right in his face,but I couldn't.I don't know why,but I just couldn't."

Harry held Ginny in silence while she cried herself out.When she was finished he carried her over to the bed and tucked her in without a word.He then kissed her on the forehead and got into bed himself.

Ginny rolled over the next morning to find Harry not in the bed with her.She got up,having not gotten much sleep the night before.It took her a while to remember why she and Harry had fought.It all came flooding back to her in one big,ugly flow.How Draco had arrived,beaten,late at night and how Harry and her had fought about him and about Trixie.The memory saddened her.

Ginny got up from bed and made her way upstairs into the kitchen.She could smell her mother cooking bacon and eggs.She loved her mother's cooking.

When Ginny arrived in the kitchen her mother and Harry were both there.Mrs.Weasley was setting a new seat at the large table and Harry was eating his breakfast and reading the Daily Prophet.Trixie was in a high chair eating some toast.Neither looked up as she sat down but Trixie smiled.

"Mama!"Trixie exclaimed happily as Ginny picked her up out of her high chair and sat her on her lap.

"'Morning."Ginny greeted them when no one said anything.

"Good Morning."Harry replied as Mrs.Weasley looked at Ginny with pursed lips.

"Something wrong,Mum?"Ginny asked.Her mother didn't look one bit happy like she normally did.

"Harry tells me we got an unwanted visitor last night."It was more of a statement then a question.

"Oh yes...that."Ginny said,slightly angry that Harry would have the nerve to tell on her.Mrs.Weasley put some food on her daughter's plate then turned to face her.

"Do you not remember what that insufferable boy did to you,Genevive Weasley?"Ginny cringed.She hated it when her mother used her full name.

"Yes Mum,but-"

"No buts.That boy abandoned you and your unborn child.He was irresponsible and I do not want him here."

"But Mum,he's hurt!His father hurt him and he needs me.I know he left me,and I haven't forgiven him for that,but please,don't send him out into the cold."Mrs.Weasley sighed.Blimey,she gave up easily when it came to Ginny.

"How long must he stay?"She asked,defeated.

"I'm not sure,"Ginny told her.She noticed Harry give a disaproving grunt."but that does remind me,I'd best be getting him up.And please,at least try to be nice to him."And with that Ginny stood up and made her way to Ron's room,Trixie on her hip.

"Draco?"Ginny asked as she knocked on the door to Ron's room where Draco had slept.Not getting a response,she cautiously opened the door.She saw a figure in Ron's bed,so she walked slowly towards it.

Draco's clothes lay scattered on the floor,so Ginny refrained from pulling back the blanket which was covering only his lowers.She was not at all surprised to see he still had an amazing six pack.His skin was pale ivory and his normally slicked back,platinum blonde hair was all over his face.She had to admit,he looked amazingly sexy sleeping.

Trixie began to struggle so Ginny set her down.As soon as she was free,Trixie ran over to the bed and and climbed up on Draco's chest.

"Ba ba ba!"Trixie screamed,pounding her tiny fists on her biological father's chest.Draco's eyes snapped open and he awoke with a start.

He groaned loudly as he began to sit up,causing Trixie to slid down his body and giggle.

"Ugh,what time is it?"Draco asked,seeing Ginny standing in the doorway,smiling.Ginny checked her watch.

"Nearly ten o'clock."She told him as he groaned again.

"Why's you get me up so early?"He asked he,picking Trixie up into his arms.

"Because this isn't the Malfoy Manor,you can't sleep so however long you-Oh my!"Draco had just stood up,revealing his black silk boxers.Ginny felt her face go red as she covered her eyes.She heared the bed squeek,indicating that he'd sat back down so she uncovered her eyes.She saw a smirk implanted on his face.

"Don't be so modest,"He told her."you've seen it all before."True,she had.

"You're such a pig!"Ginny told him playfully,making him smile a little.She noticed it wasn't a smile as he used to put on for her,but a forced smile.

"So,"Draco said,placing Trixie on his knee and bouncing her up and down.Ginny had to admit,he seemed great with her.She wondered if he could tell she was his."how old is this one now,gotta be about one?"

"Nearly two,"She told him."she'll be two in about two weeks."

"Close enough."Draco replied.Trixie giggled and grabbed at his face.

"Do you have any children,Draco?"Ginny asked,she needed to know why he seemed like such a natural with their baby.

"Merlin no,"He told her.The look on his face made both Ginny and Trixie laugh."actually,Pansy and I were set to be married..."His voice trailed off.

"Is that what you and your father fought about?"She pushed him,walking fully into the room and stopping just infront of her ex.Draco hung his head.

"Kind of...but it's all over now,"He assured her."I didn't love Pansy...actually,I hated her.A lot."Ginny laughed.

"Is she still how she was in Hogwarts?Because if she is then I can understand why."Ginny remembered Pansy Parkinson very well.In her opinion,Pansy was an insufferable little bitch who needed to be hit in the face.Or at least pushed out a window.

"Yes,but now she's even more power hungry.And she loves money.She never loved me either,she loved my money.But now I have neither power nor money,so she stopped pursuing me."Draco explained.

"But enough about that,"Draco said,standing up,putting Trixie on his hip.He then quickly covered himself with the blankets."I'm famish,let's go eat.If I do recall correctly from how you used to boast,you're mother is an excellent chef."

"Alright,we'll go eat."Ginny agreed,then stopped halfway to the door.

"What's wrong?"Draco asked,stopping just behind Ginny.

"Pants."She answered simply.

"Oh,right,"Draco said,remembering he was half nude."good thinking."Ginny and Trixie both laughed.
