Chapter One: A Funeral and Wedding Plans
"Rest in peace."
"Good bye mate."
"You were the best kind of friend."
"See you when it's my turn."
"Don't forget me."
The group slowly dwindled until the last person left. Draco stepped out from the shadows and walked up to the monument. The body was believed to have been completely destroyed and what ever remains that were found were placed inside the monument.
Draco stood there as a blue moon rose above him still trying to come to terms with reality. In his hands was a funeral handout. At the top it read:
In Memory of:
Harold James Potter
Complete Funeral and Farewell to our beloved savior of the wizarding world. This Friday, August Thirteenth. Formal attire required. Admission by invite only.
We say good bye to The-Boy-Who-Lived and good friend to all beings whether they be creature, muggle, half-breed, or wizard; the one who brought down He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and restored peace and hope to us all. Rest in peace.
Reading once more, a single tear fell as Draco realized that it was all real and whispered his own farewell.
"I love you."
:Seven Months Later:
"Please, Draco!"
"No."
"Please!"
"I said no, woman!"
"Draco!" Deep breath. "It's not like your ever going to find anyone else! You're so cold and calculating that everyone avoids you! I am the only one that stayed by your side the entire time! I even acted like your girlfriend to keep others away for you! All I want is to have it down in writing! It's not like anything is going to change! Please!"
Draco sighed. This was the zillionth argument they have had this month. He still could not figure out why the woman was pursuing the issue still. His answer from the beginning was no and it would continue to be no.
"Um, let me think." Draco paused for effect and saw that he was not disappointed. "No."
"Gah!" The man has no sense!
Draco laughed. "Why do you keep persisting that I marry you? I told you before that I did not intend to ever get married. " He saw silent tears making their way down the woman's soft cheek. "Come now, Ginny. You know that I am gay. So getting married to a woman is far from my mind, even one as beautiful and charming as you." He finished rather hastily.
Ginavine Weasley pouted. She had been with Draco for the past seven months after the love of her life died. Her feelings had slowly transferred to her dead lover's secret friend and she had played the part of a lover to the public and a friend behind closed doors. She began to believe in her lies and soon asked Draco to marry her, but he said no and no matter how had she tried, he always said no.
"Please." It was quiet, barely a whisper, but Draco had heard it.
"I can't Ginny. "
Ginny got up and started toward her room. Draco watched her go, sad that he could not fulfill her wish. Ginny paused before she was out of his sight.
"I love you."
Draco staggered. Ginny loved him? How? He could have sworn the woman was in love Zabini, or at least, he thought she was. He had thought the whole engagement was just to make Blaise angry. He had not thought that she had actually fallen in love with him.
Draco pressed his fingers to his temples. He wished he could disappear and leave everything behind. He would have just settled to have Harry back, to hear his laugh and feel his touch.
Draco closed his eyes. Harry was gone, dead. He would never see the bloody git again.
"Harry. My Harry."
Draco looked at the letter in his hand and shook his head. Really, did they have to make such a big deal out it? Could not they just have a small wedding? Not that he wanted to get married in the first place.
Blaise Zabini stood next to him with a scowl on his face.
"Why her, Draco?"
Draco sighed. He was not pleased about getting married and Zabini had not stopped complaining for the last hour.
"I did not choose her." Draco rubbed his temples. You think with all the times that I message my temples I would know by now that it does absolutely nothing. "The bloody woman blackmailed me! How many times do I have to tell you this?"
Zabini pouted a little more before sighing in defeat.
"It's going to be a big wedding, is it not?"
"Unfortunately."
"I always wanted a big one. Flowers every where and a huge musical sensation…"
Draco tuned him out. Why can't Ginavine and Blaise get married? They were a match made in heaven! Draco's thoughts drifted off toward Harry. He had always imagined him and Harry having a small private wedding, nothing too fancy.
"Oh, Draco!"
Draco inwardly cringed as Ginny came running up to him. He almost forgot to plaster a small fake smile since they were in public. Ginny engulfed him in a hug and squealed in delight, rendering Draco deaf for a few seconds.
"The wedding plans are going along smoothly, love! Hermione suggested that we all go out to that hot new muggle restaurant. They say that they have the best bartender there! His drinks are supposed to be magical and since we don't have any plans for tonight, I said that we could go!"
"That's nice dear."
Ginny seemed to be unfazed by Draco's snide remark and went on about the restaurant. "There is supposed to be tons of music! Herm said that the restaurant is even connected to a dance club! Just think Draconis! We could go dancing after dinner!"
Draco cringed at the name Ginny had given him. It's not like it was actually his name, no, the bloody woman thought it would be nice if they both had longer, exotic names. He hated the name with his very being.
Blaise looked between the two. He knew Draco did not want to marry Ginny and for that he felt sorry for his friend. Draco also knew how much Zabini loved Ginny and yet he was still going to marry the girl. For that, Zabini could not forgive his friend.
"Hey Draco, weren't we going to that club tonight? You know, for a guys night out?"
Draco shot his friend a murderous look before bracing himself for what was to come.
"What do you mean 'a guys night out'? Draconis, you weren't really thinking of going out with the guys, alone, without me, did you?"
Draco gritted his teeth. 'Women! I can't bloody stand them!' "Yes. A guys night out would mean that I am going out with some people who are all guys. You, being a girl, would not have been included."
Ginny huffed in anger. 'How dare he mock me! I am his fiancé, for Merlin's sake!' "Well, in that case, I don't think it would be wise for you to go. In fact, I do not believe you should be going out with the guys alone without me. I do not want to even think of what could happen." Ginny leveled her glare on Draco, daring him to oppose her.
Zabini was shocked. Draco had not been kidding. Ginny was taking control of his friend's life and it was slowly wearing down the platinum blond right before his eyes.
"Don't worry Draco," Zabini praised Merlin for granting him his quick thinking and used his gift to save his friend from a night of hell. "I'm sure the boys won't mind a change in plans. We could all go to the restaurant tonight."
Draco relaxed a bit. "Sure. I'll leave you to inform the boys and make sure that they are on time."
Ginny was seething. This was NOT what she had in mind! She wanted to keep Draco from the boys as much as possible. She knew where they went and what they did. Every time Draco said that he was out with the boys, reality would sneak in and Ginny would remember that not only was her fiancé gay, but she had to blackmail him into marrying her. She hated it and was going to do her bloody damnedest to make Draco straight!
Before Ginny could say anything on the matter, Zabini apperated away, presumably to tell the boys the change of plans.
"Draconis!"
Draco recoiled from Ginny's tone. He knew that Ginny wasn't going to be happy, but he would rather be slave to the deceased Dark Lord than to spend the evening alone with the bloody harpy standing next to him.
"How could you! I had an evening all planned out for us and you had to go and invite them! How could you do this to me? I am your fiancé! Your soon-to-be wife! You have to start thinking about me! Not about guys!"
Draco was becoming furious. "How could I? How could I! How could you! You know I am gay! And you know that I did NOT want to get married! You're the one who is dragging us through this! Besides, why would you want to marry me if it is going to be in name only?"
Their heated whispering was in danger of becoming full out screams, but was defused when Blaise Zabini apperated right next to Draco.
"It's all set Dray. The guys will be waiting for us at the restaurant and afterwards we hit the club!"
Draco gave his friend a look of relief. "Shall we get ready?"
Without looking at his wife to be, Draco apperated away. Zabini gave Ginny a shrug before following after his friend. Ginny huffed, spun around, and stormed away thinking of all the ways she could torture her 'one true love'.
