Hey, it's CherryBlossomAngel-225 under a new name! Sorry I haven't updated anything in forever. Life has become overwhelming and my style of writing I feel has improved since I last wrote. So here is the same old story with written better then before!

I also forgot to replace the old chapters when I updated! Sorry about the awful writing! 3

Summary: Draco fell in love with Carmen in his last year of Hogwarts. Carmen loved Draco but she could never love him as much as Hermione. This is the journey of Draco and Carmen's daughter. Her journey to reunite her father with his first true love.

A dark blanket of clouds shadowed the Malfoy cemetery as a young man with blond locks stood in the newly made grave of his wife. His eyes downcast, staring at the base of an angel statue. There written were the words that would haunt his memory: "Here lies Carmen Victoria Malfoy. Loving Wife, Friend and Mother. Her loving memory will never be forgotten"

"Will you be my friend?" the wind whispered in his ear reminding him of their happy life together. Small drops of water fell from the heavens as the memory of that beautiful sunny day of their wedding, flooded his mind. He could remember the sweetness in her voice and the happiness in his own as they said "I do"

.

Only five months after did she surprise him with the news would later lead to her own death. A small smile graced his lips at the irony of it all. Who would know something that could bring so much happiness could also bring so much pain and suffering? He could still remember her exact words; she was filled with so much joy:

"Draco, I have to tell you something?"

"What's wrong, Carmen?"

"I'm-I'm-"

"What is it?"

"I'm pregnant!"

Her screams of pain still echoed in his ears. His eyes threatened to spill with the tears he had yet to shed, although his heart already had. Slowly, his sliver eyes closed as the scene played in his mind's eye. Seeing himself, sitting helplessly, outside the room in St. Mungo's, (sp?) listening to the screams of his wife within the room.

"I hope she's going to be ok," he prayed in his mind his hands clasped together in his lap, his head laid against the wall and his eyes closed. His eyes flew open as the woman's screams died and soft cries of a baby girl sliced through the quiet. The mediwitch walked out of the room and he stood up stiffly meeting her halfway.

"Mr. Malfoy, I'm so sorry. We saved the baby, but Carmen has internal bleeding, if we try to stop it we could instantly kill her. We told Carmen there would be complications, but she knew how much you wanted this baby." The mediwitch placed a comforting hand on the shoulder of younger version of himself pausing briefly. "Your mother is in there now, you may go in when she comes out." The mediwitch's hand slipped off his shoulder as she walked away with her head hung low. For the first time in years he had wept, slowly walking to the doorframe of the hospital room. He could hear the precious voice of his mother and wife as they spoke.

"Mother?" Carmen had called weakly opening her eyes to call her mother-in-law.

"I am here my child." Narcissa replied wiping away her own tears.

"My time is short. I wanted to thank you for being like the mother I never had-I am sure you will bring up this child for me and give her the love that I cannot. I beg of you do not allow darkness overcome the good in her heart." An almost unnoticeable tear fell from Carmen's eye that Draco had seen before she swiftly rubbed it off her face and continued.

"I have written her ten letters that have my memories in them and will be sent to her on her birthdays. But on her eleventh birthday she will receive a package, when she gets it she should be alone. I know this is a lot to ask of you but please help her-and love her as your own child."

"Carmen, of course I will. She will always be loved. I'll never let her miss you. I'll send in Draco." His mother hugged her daughter-in-law for the last time and walked out slowly passing Draco, her eyes welling again with tears. Draco walked into the room after calming himself down although not bothering to wipe his crestfallen, tear stained face. "You are very bad, very bad"

He could tell by her voice she had expected him to act this way. "Draco, don't cry you look really bad," she joked pulling him to sit on the bed.

"How can you tell me not to cry when the one woman I loved more then anything is dying right in front of my eyes?" He cried, letting more tears spill out of his eyes.

"Come here" Carmen said before motioning for him to lie down next to her. He gladly obeyed her and cuddled up to her crying into her chest.

"Will you be my friend?" She asked him.

"No, I don't want to be only your friend," he cried as his eyes lifted to meet hers.

"Draco, be strong for me and for our daughter. I need you to promise me two things." She told him before her tears began to fall.

"Anything" He promised her.

"Promise me you will never cry and please name our daughter Hermione. For my sake name our daughter Hermione." He could still feel the tears as they fell off her face and onto his hands that were held in hers. Draco had looked at her questioningly. "Please for me?" She begged as she fell into his chest crying. He still felt warmth of her body in the cold fall rain. And as he promised her, she let out her last breath.

Draco's eyes opened feeling the cold rain falling hard on him; dousing his numb form with the tears of the sky. She was gone. I will never see her again. But I must keep my promise. I will never cry again.

There it is the prologue. I am doing major revisions on everything! So everything is gonna be revised and post at the same time. Maybe with a few new chapters! ;) Look forward to it!
