Prologue
The war was over, that was all that mattered. Harry and Hermione stood in the back as Weasleys cried over the body of Percy. Molly Weasley, the witch who brought down Bellatrix was sobbing in her husband's chest. There was nothing they could do now to save their son. Bill was holding Fleur who had tears on her beautiful face. He had one hand over her stomach. Maybe she was pregnant but now was not the time and place to disclose it.
Hermione looked around. George and Ginny held Percy as they cried. Fred sat a bit away from his hands holding his face. Harry left her side and sat in front of Remus and Tonks, promising them that he will take care of their son. Just then a distinct person shadowed the Weasleys. The person's platinum blond hair were dirty and grey eyes were sad.
Everybody looked up to see Draco Malfoy, George and Ron stood up, their wet eyes glaring at him.
"What are you doing here?" Bill spoke softly.
"I am here to say that I am sorry for your loss" He said sincerely.
Everybody was shocked, Ron was going to speak but it was Ginny who spoke,
"Ron don't, he saved my life today, even Fred's"
Nobody said a word. Fred just nodded to confirm it. Hermione looked at him. Fred looked beaten, everybody did but the look on Fred's face tore her heart.
Molly stood up and engulfed Draco in a mood crushing hug. He wasn't expecting that, nobody was. He put his hand on her back and patted it softly.
Just then Kingsley who was now the Minister came to them and spoke in his deep voice.
"Arthur, Molly please go home and rest. Take your family with you. I will take care of your boy here" He sighed and looked at Percy. He turned towards Draco, "Mr Malfoy since you were underage and your mother testified that you were forced to take the Mark you are free to go now but your trail will be held soon. Your parents are now been carried to Azkaban"
Draco swallowed a lump and nodded.
He knew this would happen. His father being carted off to Azkaban was no surprise to him but his mother, his strong caring mother. He felt like killing someone. Again he felt the darkness that had plagued him since few days. He tried to control himself, thinking of the blonde girl he talked just one hour ago. He took deep breaths and nodded.
"Narcissa Malfoy saved my life. I would like to testify for her. Without her victory would have been impossible" Harry opened his mouth probably for the first time after he killed Voldemort.
Kingsley thought for few seconds. "I am sorry, I can't let that happen. There will be a trial for Mrs Malfoy. If she is cleared of all charges then she is free to go"
Draco looked at Harry Potter, the Boy who yet again lived, and muttered thanks and went in search of his mother to at least say good bye
"Come on everyone, let's go home" Molly said looking at her family.
Harry and Hermione stood next to each other unsure of what to do. Molly noticed that and held her hand towards them and with a pop they Disapparated.
