The Letter by 3sth3r
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
She had sent the letter moments before she stepped out the door knowing full well that by the time it reached the manor she would be somewhere in muggle London getting ready for the flight that would send her to the States. She chooses a white owl one of the many that the Weasley's had, to send her letter. This owl would make sure the letter gone to the Manor by noon, for it was still very young.
She thought about staying with the Ron and Harry. She did well hiding the morning sickness, but it was getting harder and harder to hide the small bump forming under her shirt. By as soon as she start to show they would begin asking questions. She never told them what exactly happen at the Manor. She made broad statements about what happen, but knowing Hermione the boys knew to leave it alone. No matter how much she knew they would miss her, she had to leave because it was no longer her life anymore. It was her and her unborn child. She needed to protect it even if it meant leaving everything she held dear, she would leave.
It had been silent when she left the Weasley's household, picking up her bags she left into the early morning and at first light she apparated away and into a new life. All that was left on that was left of Hermione Jean Granger was series of letters on the kitchen table, one for every member of the Weasley's family and one for Harry. Each letter would be read over and over before Hermione came back.

The Manor, as it had been for the last few days, was silent. Now that is had been that way for a while, ever since the war the Manor has never been quite the same. Draco's father, Lucius Malfoy, would be for trial in the next few months to come but for now, has been under lock and key inside the Manor until his trial.
Lunch was quiet until a white owl came in through the window, dropped it letter onto Draco's plate, but not before causing a bit of chaos flying to Lucius' hair. "Blasted, bird!" Lucius said trying to fix his long hair.
Draco smiled as he picked up the letter on the table. And turn it over to see Draco Malfoy wrote in simple calligraphy. As he expression turned form happiness to fear, he opened the letter and read:
Malfoy,
I wanted to tell you I forgive you for what happened at the Manor during the war. You were only following your aunt's orders. And over these last few months I realized no matter how cruel had have been towards me it was a result of other influences during your younger life.
Soon in less than seven months I'll be a mother and you, a father. I may have not wanted to be a parent so soon and unmarried but I guess life had other plans. I write to tell you personally that you will not have to care for the child. I release you from your parental duties. I have planned to live in the muggle world for a while.
I hope that you find happiness, peace and love in your life.

It took a few minutes for the words to play over in Draco's mind. A father. "Draco?" Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy asked. "Is very thing ok?" Draco slowly handed the letter to his mother and took for the stairs, and up to his room.
He was going to be a father. And Hermione Granger was going to be the child's mother.
To be continued…
