A year has gone by. I have been Alexandra Tasso Malfoy for a year now and I couldn't be happier. I know you are wondering, what happened after the war? Well, Draco and I were married five months after the war. Hermione returned back for her seventh year, Harry and Ron began training to become Aurors. Ginny and Harry were engaged and got married last month once she graduated from Hogwarts. Ron and Hermione got married about two and half months ago.
Draco had a great job at the ministry and I walked alongside Hermione in the ministry as well. After the war, my father fled to America with my mother. I never really heard from them. Draco was given Malfoy Manor while Lucius and Narcissa moved into another Manor. I sold Tasso Manor to Hermione and Ron. So, now it was Weasley Manor. Life has been great minus one little thing. Actually, it was a huge deal even though Draco kept telling me it would happen one day.
We have been trying for about five months now to have a baby.
"Mrs. Malfoy?" I glanced up and smiled at the smile witch. "I'm sorry, but the test was negative again." I sighed and nodded. "Maybe next month." I muttered picking up my purse. The mid-witch folded up my field and left the room. My lunch break was almost over, so I hopped into the fireplace and floo back to the ministry. I stumbled out of the fireplace and brushed off the soot from my dress. I walked up to the desk and held up my wand for them to scan in. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Malfoy." I gave the elderly woman a smile and took my wand back. I walked as quickly as I could to Draco's office. I still had about ten minutes till my break was over and I really needed to see him. I needed him to tell me it wasn't my fault, and that it just wasn't meant to be yet.
Of course, we could afford children. Draco and I received a lot of family money once we turned eighteen. We had very good jobs and even a great marriage. The only problems we were having was having a baby. I knocked lightly on his door and heard a muffled come in. I pushed open the door and peeked my head in. He was hunched over his desk looking over documents with a look of confusion on his face.
"Draco?" His head shot up and a grin appeared on his face. "Alex!" He jumped up and rushed towards me. He walked me over to a leather couch and sat down next to me holding my hand tightly. "Well, what did the doctor say?" He seemed so excited.
"I'm not pregnant." His smiled dropped off his face and he smiled sadly. "It's going to happen, perhaps, you're under too much stress." I shook my head and placed my head in my hands. "The doctor said I'm perfectly fine." He wrapped me up in his arms and held me tight. I just wanted a little Malfoy running around the house. I was getting so frustrated and I knew this was going to eventually put a strand on our marriage.
He told me the familiar, it's going to happen when it happens and that's when I made my cue to leave.

I walked in to see Ron leaning over Hermione's desk looking worried. I was starting to notice that a lot of people were looking off today even Draco. Something must have happened when I left. "Alex! Thank Merlin, you're back." Hermione said rushing over to me and helping me take off my cloak. She paused and went to open her mouth, but paused when she saw the look on my face. She gave me a light pat on my back and a weak smile.
"So, what's going on? Everyone seems on edge." Ron pushed himself off of Hermione's desk and sighed. "Draco, didn't tell you?" I shook my head and crossed my arms over my chest. Well, whatever this was, he was going to get an earful out of me later. Ron picked something off of Hermione's desk and I noticed it was the Daily Prophet. He gestured for me to take it and I hesitated before I took it from his hands.
Massive Breakout of Death Eaters out of Azkaban.
No one is entirely sure on how the breakout happened, but it did. Many Aurors are afraid that the said Death Eaters that escaped are possibly going after old Death Eaters, who were not found guilty after the war.
I stopped reading and slowly sat down behind my desk. I dropped the Daily Prophet on my desk and rubbed my forehead. Why had Draco not told me about this? "Harry has sent men to protect the Malfoy's and your family. I am about to have a talk with Draco about have you two protected." I nodded and held my hand on my lower left forearm. I knew there was a scar from the Dark Mark that I used to have. Ron continued talking, but I ignored him and stared down at the large diamond ring that was on my left hand. I looked up at the picture frame that was sitting on my desk.
It was a picture of me in my white wedding dress and Draco looking handsome as ever in a tux. He spun me around and then gave me a small little kiss on the lips. It was one of my favorite pictures. Life was incredible and now this was happening. I was furious. Who would have let them out? There was someone on the inside that was trying to make the wizarding world crumble again.
