"Mum? Mum, wake up."

Ginny cracked her eyes open a bit to see Riley standing over her.

"Hey sweetie," she said as she pulled herself up.

She noticed she had fallen asleep on the couch in her bedroom and then looked at the clock on the wall.

"Geez, it's six already, I have to start dinner," she said as she went to get up.

"It's already done," said Riley with a smile.

"What? Dinner is done?"

"Yeah, Dad came home from work and saw you were sleeping so we made dinner for a change."

Ginny gave her a bright smile before she pulled her into a hug. "We better get down to dinner then."

"Are you sick Mum?" Riley asked.

"No, why sweetie?"

"You just... look sick." she shrugged before she headed downstairs.

Ginny walked over to the mirror and took in her appearance before she closed her eyes tightly at the sight before her. She had dark circles under her eyes and her skin was paler than normal. Around her eyes were all puffy and her pupils a shade darker. She put some makeup on and a few concealment charms for now until she figured out what was going on with her body.

She went to head downstairs when she almost ran right into Draco.

"Oh hey, I was just coming down. I'm sorry I fell asleep, I-"

She was cut off when he pulled her into a kiss. She felt her body completely melt in his arms as the taste of his lips seemed to intoxicate her. Every time he kissed her it was so easy to get completely lost in the moment.

"Stop apologizing," he said quietly against her lips before he covered her mouth with his again.

She could feel herself falling deeper and deeper into an unfamiliar place and the thought of possibly losing control made her pull back from the kiss.

"Riley said you made dinner?" she asked.

"Well, I'm no Molly Weasley, but I've learned a thing or two over the years from you and your mother," he said smugly.

"Well, let's go find out," she said with a small giggle before they both headed downstairs.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dinner that night was completely silent, nobody spoke a word. Scorpius and Ember barely ate a thing and Harper just stuffed her face as fast as she could so she could get back to flying.

Ginny dropped her fork loudly on her plate making everyone at the table look up at her.

"Listen, guys, I know things are going pretty shitty for us right now. It's been one thing after another and I'm so sorry you all have to go through it. However, with all of that being said I want you guys to try and get back to some kind of normal life again until we figure things out. So that means, Scorpius and Ember, I want you both at work tomorrow and the rest of you I will homeschool in the meantime until we figure things out with McGonagall and Kingsley. Understood?"
