The Marriage Law

Ride Or Die Chick

Ginny watched from the crowd with bated breath as Gabrielle and two other girls waited to hear who was going through to the finale. It's been a tough almost two months for Gabrielle but the support for her had been non-stop. Everyone that knew her would watch her either live or on TV. She had been through such a journey and her confidence in herself and her singing had grown so much.

Speaking of growing, Giovanni and Evangeline were now three months old and literally the happiest babies alive. They still looked more like Blaise than her which bugged Ron to no end but was funny to everyone else. They were definitely hitting their milestones for twins which was a relief for them.

Their favorite person even when their parents are in the room is Gio. Of course his name sake would be his favorite but it surprised them when Evangeline who was obsessed with her dad became obsessed with Gio as well. Of course they loved their biological grandparents but they don't see them every day.

Gio and Amelia were total badass godparents and we're very protective of the twins even more protective than Blaise who after everything that had happened the day of their birth wouldn't let the twins or her (mostly her) out of his sight until she had enough and told him that she wasn't going anywhere and to stop hovering so much. He backed up after that and it's been bliss ever since for the Zabini family.

Ginny took Blaise's hand as Baxter told his team how hard this decision was every season.

"I think I have to go with someone who has shown the most improvement and who I couldn't bare to part with and that's going to be... Gabrielle." He said making her fans lose their minds and Gabrielle smile. Gabrielle wished the others the best of luck before they left the stage.

"What do you have to say to your coach?" The host said.

"Thank you for believing in me and helping me become a better singer." She said with tears in her eyes.

"You deserve this" he said.

A little while later, the Zabinis, the Malfoys, the Potters and the Weasley and all of their babies plus a recently invited Baxter were all at Giovanni's restaurant to celebrate. They were currently telling stories around a larger table.

"It wasn't that funny" Hermione said trying to feed five month old Scorpius baby food.

"Yes it was" Harry said through his laughter. "She was like I really hate flyyyyingg" Everybody was dying from laughter while Hermione continued to get Scorpius to eat his peas.

"All of you are jerks, it's a genuine fear and you are all going to h-e- double hockey sticks for this." She said before looking at Draco.

"And if you really think you are sleeping with me tonight then you are out of your mind." She said making Draco's eyes widen and every one going ow.

"Mione, I'm sorry" Draco said.

"Oh sure you are" Hermione said.

"Gabrielle was right, you guys are hilarious." Baxter said. Ginny got a really weird feeling from him. She thought it was a bit weird that he said that he couldn't bare to be apart from Gabrielle. As she watched the others talk to him, she noticed that his eyes would always find their way to Gabrielle and linger just a little too long. It hit her immediately that this guy was either in love with her or falling in love with her. Ginny looked at Gabrielle who was watching Harry with such love and fascination that she knew it was one sided.

"So Baxter, have you got your ministry letter about the marriage law yet?" Ginny asked. "I know you were away in America due to the war and not wanting to be apart of it, but I bet that they are pressuring to do it now that you are back."

Blaise gave her a look that said what are you doing but she ignored it. There was no way in hell that she was going to let some guy come between Gabrielle and Harry. She was going to remind him that he doesn't get to have a married woman and to go find his soulmate.

"Yeah I have, I've been busy with work and hadn't gotten the chance to do it yet." Baxter said a little nervously.

"You shouldn't wait too long since you know what will happen." Ginny said trying to sound considerate and supportive. Blaise's hand squeezed her thigh telling her that he didn't believe her for a second.

"The ministry has given me a little leeway since I am so busy with the voice and my business." Baxter said clearly uncomfortable with the conversation.

"Sweetheart, why don't we leave the poor man alone." Blaise said.

"I was just wondering" she said innocently. "I mean living as you do must be lonely so why not find out your soulmate."

"He can find out when he's done with the show." Blaise said before Harry changed the topic. Blaise leaned closer to her so he could whisper in her ear.

"What do you think you are doing?" He asked so only she could hear him.

"He's into Gabrielle and I'm trying to make sure he steers clear of her and finds his own soulmate." She whispered back.

"It isn't your place beautiful"

"It is when it comes to protecting my friends from heart break." She said making Blaise sigh in annoyance/surrender.

"I would rather you not focus on them but on how that dress you are wearing is making me feel. Your breast are begging me to suck on them."

"Behave yourself" she said fighting back a blush. She then turned her attention back to the group where Gabrielle was getting up to go to the bathroom. Ginny excused herself to before following her to the bathroom.

"Gabby" she said when they were in the bathroom.

"What's up Gin?"

"Be careful with Baxter"

"What do you mean?" She asked confused.

"I have been watching him since he said that he couldn't bare to be apart from you." She said. "Gabby, that man is either in love with you or falling in love with you."

"Baxter and I are just friends"

"For you it might be but for him might be something else." She said.

"I would never cross that line Gin, I love Harry more than life itself."

"I know that, I only bring this up because I love you both."

"Thank you Ginny"

"You're welcome"

Not the most exciting chapter but stuff has been going down in my life and wasn't able to fully put my full attention into it.
