Battle Scars BOOK 2 in The Weasley in Green and Silver series

Chapter 2: The Talk

Draco

I was at the three broomsticks 5 Minutes before 12. Because if I was even a minute late I bet clove would leave. That is if she's coming at all. At 12 sharp I saw her walk in. She was wearing a white healers coat. I'm  guessing she came from work.  When saw me and came over. Me being a gentleman stood up and pulled out the chair for her to sit down. Once she say I pushed the chair in.

"So do you want anything?" I ask sitting across from her.

"Just a butter beer. " she responds.

I nod and order two butter beers.

"So what's your explanation." She says flatly.

"Oh um. You get right to the point." I laugh nervously.  " I uh still wanted to make my
Father proud-"

"I thought you said you didn't care. You only cared about making me proud." She cuts in.

"Yes well I might've lied. Anyway the dark lord invaded my mind when I was making my choice and if I stayed with you. He'd kill you and my parents. So I did it to protect you." I gulp.

"That's your answer for everything. I did it to protect you. " clove sighed. "Any even if it was to protect me why didn't you come back. If you did love me you would've ignored what I said before and looked for me. You also would've broken the engagement a hell of a lot sooner. " she snaps.

"After the war my family was taken into custody at the ministry because of the side we were on. We for sure thought we were going to jail until Potter vouched for us. My mother and I got let off with a month on house arrest and my father for two years of house arrest. I wanted to find you but i was scared on how you would react. I also didn't know where to look. Until one night I was out at the leaky caldron and I heard the bar tender say how wealsey was a great waitress and how he felt sorry she had to work there and at st. Mongo's. " I explain.

"How did you know it was me and not my sister."

"Easy. There was a little article on the prophet talking about the new healers at st. Mongo's and your one of them. I asked pansy if she knew anything since she's a healer too and she said you were living with your brother so I went to find you yesterday." I explain.

Our butter beers arrive and clove takes a swig of hers.

"Ok." She smiles. "Now answer the question about Fairchild. "

I smirk "I broke it off with her as soon as I was off house arrest. She however to forever to accept it. She kept insisting we were together. Until last week I saw her sucking faces with some dude at a pub. I confronted her and she finally caved in and broke it off. "

"Ok. One more question and then you can ask me some. " clove says. "Who's the mystery girl?"

"Oh come on. It's you." I smile.

She opens her mouth to say something but I stop her. "Ah ah aha. My turn how are you, the girls, and Blaise?"

"I'm fine besides working all the time. Amber is getting married to Charlie next month. Amber is also 6 months pregnant. T. J is a designer. Very big in the muggle world. Owen and Tommy are still together and going strong. Owen is an auror in training and Tommy tames dragons. Blaise is working to become a healer." She finishes.

"Your brother and Amber having another one already?" I ask.

"Um yeah" she says biting her lip.

"Your cousin is adorable by the way." She says.

"Thanks. She's the little sister I never had. Say don't you have a few Nieces and nephews now?" I ask.

"Yeah. There's Jason he's 9 months, bill and Fleur had a girl on the anniversary of the battle. Her name is Victorie and she's 6 months now. Then Harry's godson Teddy Lupin is just over 1. Teddy was Tonks and Remus Lupins son. They died in the battle. Harry and Ginny watch him. He's practically family." She explains. "Then of course there's Amber and Charlie's baby on the way. "

"And I'm sure you'll have more. " I smile.

"Me to. Enough for a Quidditch team maybe several. "

I laugh. "Enough for a Quidditch team."

"What are you doing?" She asks.

"I work in the ministry." I smirk.

"Whatever happened to becoming s healer?" She asks.

My smile falls and I look at the ground. "It's not a respectable job. I mean not for a Malfoy. My father insisted I work in the ministry. "

"Ah still doing what your father wants I see. " clove smirks and looks at the clock.

"My breaks over I got to go." She says and stands up to leave.

"Wait clove. I had a good time."

"Me too. "

"So can we-"

"No we can't go back to before at least not yet. For now your just a friend nothing more. Bye Draco." Clove says and walks out.

Time skip

Clove

I didn't work at the pub today so at eight o clock I went home.

"Hey." I say walking in. The smell of garlic hitting my nose. "Where are you?"

"Kitchen. " I hear George call.

I take my shows off and walk into the kitchen. "What are you doing?" I ask and pick up Jason who is in his high chair.

"Making dinner. I was thinking spaghetti." George responds.

"Sounds good. Don't screw up." I say and take Jason into my room. George's old one. George moved into Fred's after the war.

I sit on my bed and set Jason on my lap.

"Guess who I saw today. Jason." I say picking his hair back and kissing his forehead.

He looks up at me won his blue eyes and his hand in his mouth.

"I saw your daddy today. " I state. "And it scared me. He was just liked I remembered him. And that scares me because that means I could easily fall in love with him again. And I e already gotten my heart broken twice. I don't need it again. " I explain and kiss Jason on the cheek.

I pick him up so I'm holding him so he's facing me. "You are one of he only boys I love in my life. I'm doing all this for you." I tell him.

Jason looks at me smiles and them gurgles.

"You're my beautiful baby boy." I says and tickle his belly with my nose and he laughs.

"We don't need your dad we'll be just fine. " I say to myself more then Jason.

"Dinners ready." George calls.

"Alright be right there. " I call and pick up Jason and walk to the kitchen.
