At Least It's a Pureblood

Chapter seven: Malfoy honour!

The Malfoys went to the Burrow. This time all the Weasleys were there, even Penelope, Percy's widow. She was definitely pregnant. Ginny noticed it in a second. She congratulated Penelope with her pregnancy. It was time to tell the rest of the family what had happened the past months.

It went pretty much like Ginny had expected. Her brothers, at least the younger ones were furious. Only Hermione could stop Ron. Fred was held back by Angelina en George by Alicia. But they were calmer than Ginny had expected. She was rich. She had a wealthy husband.

But then something happened that made everyone go into a state of shock! As they were leaving Ginny fell. Instantly she grabbed her stomach. It hurt. She had to be rushed to the hospital.

~~~~~

Ginny woke up in the hospital later that day. Her husband sat by the bed.

"D-Draco..." she managed to get out.

Draco's eyes flew open.

"Ginny, thank Merlin! You're awake!"

"What happened? Where am I?" Ginny asked with a weak voice.

"You're in the hospital. You fell and..."

Ginny knew what he was going to tell her. They had lost the baby!

William Daniel Ryan Malfoy was gone...

Ginny cried. She had wanted this baby. Would she lose her husband with this baby too?

Draco put his arm around his wife and tried to comfort her as well as he could. It wasn't easy, being a Slytherin...

~~~~~

When they left the hospital they went to organise the funeral for their child.

They buried him not at the cemetery where all other Malfoys lay, but it Godric's Hollow. Next to the house they had built for themselves, when they had lost their memories.

They stood there. Ginny sobbing uncontrollably on her husbands chest.

When she finally found her breath again. She looked up to her husband and asked: "You will leave me now, are you?"

"What makes you say that?"

"Well, the only thing that really brought us together when we got our memories back was William and now that he's gone..."

"It's Malfoy honour to stick by your wife! Even I remember the nights we had in this house. If you wish I can have another house built here."

"If that's possible... We were happy here. But don't throw down the house that stands there now. Let it stand for what we've been through!"

"Ok," Draco answered. "And besides if we live here I can annoy Potter with my presence..."

"Must you relate everything to annoying Harry?" his wife asked him.

"No, but it's a nice side effect." He kissed her. "Lets make another baby, Gin! I love you, and when I saw you lying there after you just lost our baby... I could have lost you too. And I don't know what I would have done if I lost you!"

"Oh, Draco! You would have found another wife in no time!"

"But how many of them would have your temperament? None! None of them would want to spend the time together like we did right here!"

"Ok, but we should never forget about Will!"

"Never!"
