Sometimes I have some fun imaging how Ginny's family would react if they found out about a relationship between Draco and Ginny. I mean Ginny has 6 older brothers for a reason
I'd like to know how Mr and Mrs Weasley would react as well. Do you think they would die from a heartattack or kill Ginny?

And what about Draco's parents? I mean as there aren't that many pure-blood woman available anymore they might be glad. On the other hand a Weasley......

Could you imagine their wedding? The Weasleys on the right side of the church, the Malfoys on the left side and a fence between them?

I think Mrs Weasley would react like she reacted to Fleur. She'd have her prejudices at first, but once she sees that Draco really cares for her daughter and that they're happy together (and when she finally forgets the idea of her daughter marrying Harry Potter) I'm sure she'll welcome him into the family. I don't know how Arthur would react... Probably with more tact than Molly but it would take longer for him to really truly accept Draco.

As for the Malfoys... I think Lucius is a lost case. Narcissa would probably be happy that her son has met his match in mettle. If Ginny can earn her respect and treat her son well I'm sure she'd be accepted.

Anyway, methinks both sides (apart from Lucius...) would accept a Draco/Ginny couple if they brought them grandkids .

As for the wedding... They'd probably have to have a small private wedding with a few trusted friends and almost no family members, lest war ensue (that could be fun, too, i guess...)

Considering their past history, I think the Weaslys would just about have a cow if they found out Ginny was to marry Draco. I can't really blame them though because of the hate and cruelty the Malfoys have put them through.

Draco's family would flip too because the Weaslys are of the lower class witches and wizards. Because of Lucius's constant need to put others down to make himself feel better, he'd probably disown Draco.

Obviously, I've thought about this before....

I think it's fairly obvious that neither side would like it, especially at first. The Weasleys would eventually soften up to it, I'd think, since they seem to want their children to be happy. Narcissa I can see accepting it much later, but eventually. Lucius -- not so much. But I mean, if it keeps the Malfoy line, and after all, Weasleys are pureblooded.



I don't think it's entirely fair to place the blame solely on the Malfoys, as the Weasleys haven't exactly tried to shower them with love in return.

Both families see each other as mud. it would be great to read their reactions I think. I could see the Weasleys accepting it eventually though it would take a great deal of time and work on Ginny and Draco's part. Same goes for the Malfoys. I think the Malfoy's will just be happy it's pure blood and not muggle.

Well, Lucius is not that evil.
I always saw Draco as a Death Eater's son, but in HBP I finally realized, that Lucius was Draco's father. He's the father of someone, the husband of someone, he has a family and he cares about them. And they love him back. When Draco breaks Harry's nose, he just says: "That's for my father." He has sooo many reasons to hate Harry, but he just says "That's for may father." I don't have to like Lucius, but in that scene and a couple of others in HBP I saw them as father and son, and in the second chapter I saw Narcissa and Lucius as husband and wife. And Narcissa and Bella are sisters. They may be Death Eaters, but very much more than that they're just humans!

In short: I really don't see Draco running away from home, because his father is so something of evil and after a while finding love with the Weasleys.
Draco has something of Sirius, but he is NOT Sirius. Other than Sirius, he has a family he cares about, a lot.

And I don's see the Weasley's as very tolerant people either. What do you think Molly would do when her daughter falls in love with someone who is responsible for having disfigured her oldest son forever? For almost having killed her youngest son? The son of the man who almost killed her only daughter? The boy who made the death possible of the only man who could stand up to Voldemort? Do you really think she just would be a little bit prejudiced against him like against Fleur? In contrary, I think every fear would come up, also the old story about her brothers who where killed by DE's in the first war.
Then Arthur: I just have to think at Percy. Percy is not assumed anymore as part of the family (except by Molly) because he was too ambitious. And Arthur has started with this, because Percy was involved with the wrong people, in his opinion. On that topic, he's not exactly better than Lucius...

But there is something else. The Malfoys and the Weasley's have something in common:
They. want. Voldemort. death.
Because, Voldemort tries to kill them and/or their family.
In a way, under certain circumstances, they could work together, because they have the same enemy. The enemy of your enemy may not be your friend, but he's certainly your ally. And D/G would be possible then. Even more, I see it as the only way the vanquish the hatred between the two families: Lucius and Arthur may never stand each other, but their grandchildren would grow up together and, well, it would sort of would prove Dumbledore's statement, that love is stronger than hatred...

And about Lucius disowning Draco... No, I don't think he would do that. That would be the most stupid thing he could do!! I mean, he's a known Death Eater and when he gets out of Azkaban, it will hardly be on a legal way. Therefore he would be a fugitive. Not exactly the kind of life he likes...
But his son involved with the daughter of a family who was friends with Dumbledore... for someone so very much of a Slytherin like Lucius, that certainly would be useful, for himself, for becoming a free man again, He could offically accept it and prove that he as changed or something like that.....

I think Arthur would have a total cow and be rather angry...Think about how much he hates Lucis, but I do think that after a while he would learn to accept it.
Molly would be in shock, but once she saw her daughter was happy would be ok with it.
Lucis, will be fighting until his dying day-unless he unhappily settles because Ginny is pureblood.
Narcissa I think will be upset at first, but once she realizes Draco is really happy then she'll be fine with it..

Just my opinion...

No, I agree that the Weasleys are not very tolerant. The way Molly and Ginny treated Fleur was pretty appalling. But Molly is a mother, and I think her compassion and motherly instincts are stronger than her hatred in this case. Yes, she has lost siblings to the DEs. But Draco is not a Death Eater. He didn't have it in him to kill Dumbledore. She wouldn't see him as a fully fledged death eater, but a man child who hasn't been given the option to be anything other than what he was brought up to be: a death eater's son.


You're right, Draco loves his family. He's loyal to them, and it's because their life was at stake that he was prepared to follow Voldemort's orders. When she learns about this, Molly will see that Draco is, as you said, a human being. And that he is capable of loyalty.

Draco's a DE, he's got the Dark Mark! Everyone believes that he wanted Dumbeldore's death - everyone, except Harry! I agree with that what you wrote, but the Weasley's don't know this. Hence Draco would have to prove that he doesn't want to be a Death Eater. And that means, that he would have to fight for Ginny against their prejudices!

I interpret Molly as a person who wants the best for everyone, but she already KNOWS what's the best for everyone! I suspect, that she's decided, that Harry's the best boy for her only daughter and if her daughter suddenly shows up with half a Death Eater and son of the worst enemy of her family she's going to proclaim her daughter as misleaded.




I have a hard time to see Molly - all the Weasleys! - so unbiased! - Again, your view is mine too and it's a view Hermione could have and certainly Lupin and Dumbledore. But Molly wont see it before she has to - because her daughter leaves no choice for her!

Then, more important: Draco loves his family more than anything else. So why should he leave them for a girl, he declares vehement as not suited and he would have to fight for? Draco's very good at keeping his emotions down (--> he's a gifted occlumens) and proved several times that he can deny things he don't want to be!
If Draco had to decide between his family and Ginny, I think he would decide for his family. And even if he would decide for Ginny - that fact that he had to sacrifice his whole family for her, would always stand between the two of them!
But then, Draco's a Slytherin an he could find a way to get both - because it would make a lot of sense in the whole plot of HP! It would finish a family war for ever!

At this point I can't argument for D/G as such, because what's the sense of it?! It's a story about Harry, after all. But D/G makes astonishingly much sense in the whole plot: The Order wants to get ride of Voldemort, but there are other people who wants to get ride of him even more badly - the Death Eaters! Dumbledore says very clearly that they would give their life to know how to finish him of (= knowing about the Horcruxes)!
I think that the Order and the Death Eater are going to work together at a point. Obviously Harry's going to play an important role to unite them, but he's only a half. The order stand behing him, but he needs someone who the DE's would help. That would be the main plot. D/G would be a side plot: They would unite an Order-family with a Death Eater family. (And Draco would be the one which has the DE's behind him: Lucius, Bellatrix and Snape - high ranking DE's who could use their influence to unite all the others.)
Seen this way, D/G is part of HP and makes sense, but it only works when not just the Weasley has to overcome their prejudices...

hmm... that's not hard to tell! Both sides would probably freak at first! imagine... Ginny bringing Draco at home to announce that they're getting married! ... and then all the Weasleys spitting fire and everything, ears turning red and all... probably a little hilarious! although the little swearwords won't be gone.

as for the Malfoys, I take it to be much more darker. Since the book doesn't tell much about Narcissa except that she cares a lot for her son, probably she'll be the first to be able to accept it makes him happy. As for Lucius, well... let's say it won't be pretty, he'll probably end up disowning Draco... or worse.

Well, there will be a lot of emotions, i bet. Confusion, anger, and (for the Weasleys) fear. but hey, they have to learn to accept it... it's love

I agree. Both families will be VERY angry at first but I guess they will eventually accept that Ginny and Draco love each other.

After the Weasley and Malfoy ancestors turn over in their graves, the living Weasleys and Malfoys will simultaneously pop veins and contemplate whether it would better serve humanity by killing their son/daughter in their sleep or slaughter the other family in an "accident".

All in all, it will be a very messy, unpretty affair. But hey, love triumphs in the face of adversary, they say. Or else Juliet drinks wonky poison, then Romeo thinks she's dead... wait... I've got them mixed again, didn't I?

They would freak out, but eventually get over it.

I agree. Both families would definitely freak out. I can definitely imagine just how explosively Ron will react to the news that his little sister is with his biggest enemy. Draco may hate Harry, but he seems to have a little extra venom just for Ron. It was Ron, afterall, that he got into a fist fight with during their first year.
It will be very interesting to read though.

Well, the circumstances have to first be examined.

1. If they are just two crazy kids wildly in love:
The Weaselys will hit the roof, recollecting on how Ginny nearly died, thanks to a certain longhaired blonde with a cane and a knack for kicking around helpless house elves. All 6 of the Weasely men (excepting Percy because he probably just yell. He isn't quick to fistycuffs, our Percy) will dive at poor Draco, a large brawl will ensue. Molly will have throw water on them, and Ginny will spend the rest of the evening kissing poor Draco's ouchies. Soon, Molly will remark on how pale and thin Draco is and will probably force-feed him food. The weasely men will glare and reject Draco until he marries Ginny, if they stop then.
The Malfoys will be furious, Lucius, because of aforementioned reason, and Narcissa because she stands by her husband. A softer image, "Cissa! Malfoys do NOT have red hair!!!". Hee. Narcissa will probably come around, but, depending on whether Lucius is in Azkaban or dead or whatever, he probably wouldn't ever forgive Draco. Ever.

2. If Draco knocks Ginny up:
Ditto. Except with more blood from the Weasely brawl.

i agree with what you have said

Yeah That is very honest. Narcissa is not in the books enought to know how she would actually react. But the again I love this ship even though I could care less about Ginny. I really want Draco to be good in book 7 and Ginny is the best way to make him good.

well said my vp

I think that both families will FREAK at first. Especially the Malfoys!
But I think that the Weasleys will eventually accept it. After all, they really love Ginny, and in time they would accept her choices.



Yeah - Ron will probably be the last one to accept

i think that mrs weasley would be very upset at her daughter for her choice but will soon realize that ginny is the most happiest with draco and learn to live with it.

Well, i think Mr. and Mrs.weasley would be angry with Ginny at first, acting all disapointed, but eventualy be able to accept Draco. maby he'd even get a weasley jumper?
Ron would compleatly freak out, having a go at Ginny and calling Draco names, then Draco comes onto the scene saying
"Now, is that anyway to speak about your brother in law?" Ron would hate that.
Narcissa would act all distrought about it, but as soon as she learns about the future grandkids she'll calm down enough to say "well at least she's pureblood"
as for Lucius, he'd just about explode.

I think there would be some shocked gasps from both parties at first, followed by some residual hatred. I'm not sure the Weasley men would ever really be able to accept Draco, and the Malfoy definetly wouldn't ever be able to accept Ginny. I think Mrs. Weasley would come around (I think he would get a Weasley sweater eventually XD Man, would I love to see the look on his face when he opened that!)
