My life had never been normal. It had always been danger, adventure and mystery. Nothing had ever been perfectly normal. And I didn't expect it to start being normal now.
Draco and I had been married for 3 years now, we had lived in a wonderful bliss that never left a single moment of boredom.
He was still as beautiful and smart as ever. We were 24 now, 2 lovers still loving one another and going about life normally. He was an auror, working with Harry, who was married to Ginny and had 1 son, Ginny pregnant with another, on capturing all the former death eaters still causing havoc in the world.
I had been working for the Department for the Control of Magical Creatures for a few years, before last year, I was promoted to Deputy Head of Law Enforcement Department. I was the brains behind the action, Harry and Draco did.
Life couldn't have been more normal. And that was the problem, the death eaters had been dormant for too long. Not only was it unnerving but, it gave the sense of always having to be on guard. There was a big storm that was about to brew.
But there was also something else coming, something big. I could just feel it. Besides the odd quiet the death eaters were leading, something bigger was coming our way, but we didn't know what.
Something bigger than me or Draco. Something that would rock our whole world and take an upturn for the better or worse.
I had always known what self sacrifice was. I'd seen Harry do it one too many times in his childhood and now manhood. I too, knew what was worth dying for. Some things were more important than my whole life. There were many people I would die for, Draco being number one.
I had also always known what had to be done for the greater good and for those I loved and wanted to protect. I had gone to the worst to protect my parents during the second war. I had risked my life being Harry's friend through school and when we hunted horcruxes. I had risked without a doubt, becoming involved with Draco.
And I wouldn't take back any of it.
But this was more, this was bigger and more than my whole life. I would do anything, name it and it was yours.
Draco and I had talked and we had always decided that this was the outcome we were willing to pursue if it meant forever. But not for us. This was bigger than both of our lives.
We had decided nothing we would ever do was more important than this. That we would readily lay down our lives if it meant saving this.
But if we couldn't save this, if we failed, more would be lost than you would ever know.
But I refused to think like that. I was ready to die for what I loved again, and doing it one more time, really wasn't that much more.
If anything, it was more worth it. Everything I fought for, lead to this, and no death eaters would take this away.
Draco and I knew what was at stake, and we would not let anything harm what we had. Even if it meant dying in the process.
Some things were worth dying for. And this was definitely one of them.
