ALT: “What if it’s something stupid?” Draco mumbled.

“It won’t be.”

“I don’t want to be embarrassed—”

“Draco!”

He took a breath. “Okay.” He thought of summer days spent with Ginny, of the warmth of her smile. “Expecto Patronum!”

A shimmering phoenix erupted from his wand. #drinny #microficmay

Ginny leaned back onto the crisp white sheets, Draco’s weight settling over her and sending delicious shivers down her back. Outside, the lights of New York City glistened down below.

“Happy anniversary, love,” Draco whispered before pressing his lips to hers.

She wanted this to never end. #drinny

“And then I think we’ll take those leather greaves—”

“Draco, really, this is excessive.”

He winked at her. “I’m about to show you that you don’t know the meaning of the word excess. Now, I think we could get these in brown, and then maybe a black set—” #drinny #microficmay

Draco leaned against the sill of the Astronomy Tower, the crimson light of the sunset staining his platinum hair blood-red.

“How am I ever going to be able to fix what I’ve done?”

Ginny stood beside him. “It starts by showing up. You’re here now, right? Make it count.” #drinny #microficmay

“Are you ready to see your surprise?”

Ginny giggled, Draco’s hands blocking her vision. “Yes. Don’t keep me in suspense.”

He removed his hands, and Ginny gasped. They were standing in an art gallery… and those were her paintings on the wall.

“Welcome to your very own gallery, Ginny.” #drinny

“This is amazing!”

The lights of Paris twinkled below Ginny, the wind whipping through her hair from being so high up on her broom. Behind her, Draco leaned close to her, and she smiled as she inhaled his rich pine scent.

“It’s beautiful, but not half as beautiful as you.” #drinny #microficmay

“Where do you think this one comes from?”

“What do you mean?”

Draco smiled, turning the shell over in his hand. “My family used to come here on holiday. My mother would make up stories about seashells coming from faraway places. So where do you think this one’s from, Ginny?” #drinny #microficmay

“I’ll take a… uh… a, um…”

“I don’t have all day, Malfoy.”

Draco flushed as Ginny Weasley glared at him, hands on hips, from behind the counter of the cafe. He was normally so composed, so well-spoken… why couldn’t he order a single bloody coffee?

“Make me whatever you like.” #drinny #microficmay

They did not live in Malfoy Manor, nor in the Burrow— places that held memory and family legacy. They did not live in Diagon Alley, nor Hogsmeade— places where prying eyes lurked around every corner.

They lived in a cottage by the sea. It was small, and safe, and perfect. #drinny #microficmay

“Your champagne, madame.”

Ginny laughed. “Champagne? Draco, I think you and I have different ideas about picnics.”

She reached into the basket and pulled out a rustic ham sandwich. Draco blinked, looked down at his hundred Galleon champagne bottle, and laughed.

“Oops. I’m still learning.” #drinny

As so often happened when she was concentrating, Ginny stuck her tongue out before carefully moving her paint brush. Why were his eyes so hard to get right? Like molten silver… or like the pale light of the moon, coalesced into human form.

She painted him bathed in moonlight. #drinny #microficmay

“Draco, they’re beautiful!”

“Aren’t they? This is my favorite part of the grounds.”

Ginny grinned, looking down on the meadow where butterflies flitted between the flowers. Malfoy Manor’s lands extended so far… Draco wrapped his arms around her.

“This could all be yours… if you want it.” #drinny

“And on this Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, I, Draco Malfoy, take you, Ginevra Weasley, to be my lawfully wedded wife. May our love shine as bright as the sun above us, for today and always.”

Cheers echoed, but Draco hardly heard as he kissed his wife. #drinny #microficmay

“It’s weird to be back here again.”

Ginny pushed the hair out of her face, staring at Hogwarts. “Yeah, but now you can terrorize the first years just like Snape did.”

Draco laughed. “Those are big shoes to fill.”

“Come on, Professor Malfoy— we’re going to be late.” #drinny #microficmay

Draco lay in his cell, staring at the ceiling.

When he got out, he would tell her.

When he got out, he would fly to her window, hovering outside, confessions of love pouring from his lips. She would smile, and—

The clang of a cell door opening broke the illusion.

Ginny slipped the door to the Room of Requirement closed, her heart pounding, uneasiness in her stomach. Was she really doing this?

“Hey.”

Malfoy was leaning against the opposite wall.

“Hey.”

“Come on, Malfoy, it’s a party.”

Draco tried to listen to Blaise’s words, but his eyes were drawn across the room, to where Ginny Weasley was dancing wildly with Potter by her side.

Far from him. Jealousy simmered, hot and bitter in his stomach.

“Yeah. What a great party.” #drinny #microficmay

Draco smiled, the sand warm against his skin. He lay next to Ginny, who was on her stomach, hoping to get a tan from this tropical paradise.

Draco thought she was beautiful just as she was. He lazily traced a finger over her freckles, marveling at her sun-kissed skin.

“Please tell me you have Rocky Road.”

“Sorry. Fresh out.”

Draco put his hands on the counter and leaned forward. “Listen to me. My wife is very pregnant and very angry. I will give you all of my Galleons for a pint of Rocky Road.”

Ginny needed ice cream desperately. #drinny #microficmay

“There once was a terrible and fearsome dragon,” Ginny whispered to Scorpius, cuddling him close, “callous and cruel to all he came across, until one day… the dragon met a witch.”

“Did she slay the dragon?”

“No. She loved him. He learned, from her, how to be kind. To love.” #drinny #microficmay

Draco sat on the shore of the Black Lake, squinting from the sun’s glare on the water. Across the way, Ginny sat with her Gryffindor friends, her laughter brighter than any sunlight. Draco sat perfectly still, heart aching at the distance between them. Did she ever yearn for him too? #drinny

“That’s my wife! That’s my wife!”

The crowd didn’t know where to look— at Ginny Malfoy, scoring a pivotal goal for the Holyhead Harpies, or at her husband Draco, bellowing praises from his box seat, his voice echoing across the stadium.

Ginny rolled her eyes. “Shut up, Malfoy. You have all the charm of the back side of a toad.”

“I bet I could charm you,” Draco said, eyes dancing. “If you give me a chance.”

Ginny’s heart rate quickened.
