Weeks passed after Hermione's disappearance. Draco had taken it hard. He just couldn't believe what she had done. He read the letter she had left so many times hoping that it would make her come back. He tried to keep a brave face in front of Daniel but even the little boy knew that daddy was upset because mummy had gone. They both tried to get back on track with Draco taking time off work to be with him. However Draco soon would have to go back to work since even though the malfoy fortune was large enough for them to live without lifting a finger the malfoys had always worked and given back to the community in some way. The result was Daniel either being placed in the care of Narcissa, Molly or Ginny.
They were both distraught with no one seeing the slytherin prince like this before, he stared at the picture of the three of them taken on christmas day that he had on his desk, or reading the journal as often as possible. It became almost like a habit that he couldn't shake, an addiction. The two boys would read it every night before going to bed or before they curled up to watch Dumbo – her favourite. They both sniffled when baby mine came on, both imagining her singing it to them. They slept in the double bed together, both curled up taking in her scent left on her pillow and the nightgown she always wore.
Yes Hermione's sacrifice had hurt everyone around her. Harry worked longer hours as minister trying to crack on down on the Dearhearts and find his best friend while Ginny heavily pregnant became so stressed that she fell ill and became confined to her bed with regular checkups from the healers. Neither could forget the day that they had come to Winnards to find Draco zombie like, the house a state and Daniel eating his breakfast, porridge which wasn't being eaten but instead being thrown against the wall as he cried asking for his mummy and asking why she hadn't said goodbye.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHES GONE?"
"I mean it Potter she's given herself up to them. She made me sign the adoption papers making me legally Daniel's father. She left in the early hours of the morning before I woke up"
"And you didn't try to stop her the night before! Why did you sign the adoption papers?" Harry screeched.
"Harry..." Ginny pleaded. She was sitting down on the sofa crying. She tried to reach out to her husband who had his wand raised at the slytherin. Draco stared hard at harry before getting his own wand out and backing harry up against the wall.
"What do you think I did Potter?" Draco spat "I begged her to stay. I told her that she didn't have to do this! I signed those damn papers against my wishes not because I didn't want Daniel because I love that little boy as if he was my own. I signed those papers because he would have gone into an orphanage. She wasn't going to leave him with saint pothead the boy who can't die. I promised to keep them safe. I will do anything for them. I failed to keep her safe and so I'm trying to keep Daniel safe and get her back just like you! You don't know what happened" Harry faltered and looked Draco with sadness and anger in his eyes. Draco's mirrored his.
"Boys come on" Draco sighed and moved away sitting down to place his head in his hands sobbing. Ginny was rubbing his back in reassurance. Harry was shocked at the scene before him. Malfoy was crying. Malfoy had begged her to stay. He knew one thing and that the slytherin did not beg at all. Malfoy loved her. The broken look on the blondes face said everything and harry had just blamed him for what happened when it wasn't his fault at all.
Everyone was trying to live their lives without her. They didn't know where she was and whether she was safe but every night as he kissed his son's head goodnight he prayed that she was and that she still had an inkling of who her son was, The little boy who was heartbroken that his mother had left him to keep him safe.

It was Valentine's Day and Draco was miserable. He would be spending today with her but instead he was at the office as usual. Daniel had joined him today for the first time and was playing with his trucks on the carpet in front of the desk. He tried to get some work done however every time he tried the picture of Hermione smiling up at him caught his eye and made his thoughts turn back to her. He missed her so much.
The sound of Daniel playing and the chatter of diagon alley from the open window filled the room as background noise and Draco picked up the old fashioned phone. He had had it installed pretty quickly when he first joined Gringotts so that he could communicate easily with the different floors as well as sending memos via magic.
"Yes Mr Malfoy?"
"Ah Becky I was wondering if those files came up from resources as well as the files on the vaults that I asked for? "
"Yes Mr Malfoy of course. I'll bring them in right away" the young girl's voice replied.
"Thank you" Draco placed the phone down and went over to Daniel who was looking out of the window sipping his tea. Diagon alley was always a spectacular sight when any holiday came around. The street was filled with red and pink balloons pink heart shaped butterflies flew through the air, many love notes going to their special someone. Even the air had a pungent smell of roses. To Draco it just reminded him what he was missing. Usually on valentines he picked up a girl and gave her the night of her life or his fleeting girlfriends would celebrate with him, this year was just the boys.
"Look daddy look at all of the pink!" Daniel cried in the blondes mind as he pointed and waved down to the people below. There was a knock on the door and Becky came in. She was blonde 18 year old who had just graduated at Hogwarts. She knew all about Mr Malfoy and so flirted with him as much as she could. Let's not forget Draco was Britain's most eligible bachelor.
"Mr Malfoy... oh hello who are you?" the two boys turned around. The girl was obviously looking at Daniel. The little boy waved and looked over the girl before turning to his father.
"Oh Becky yes this is my son Daniel. Daniel this is Becky my assistant." Draco replied. Becky placed the files on Draco's desk a little put out however she then broke into a big smile and crouched down.
"Hello Daniel. How are you? Do you like daddy's office?" Daniel nodded and Becky looked at draco.
"I didn't know you had any children Mr Malfoy"
"Yes I do. Two peas in a pod aren't we Danny..." Draco was about to say something else however the commotion of the street cut him off.
"Miss Granger, Miss Granger where have you been for the past 4 years?" called the reporters. "Ambassador Dearheart, miss granger over here!" Draco dropped his tea. She was here in front of Gringotts. He faintly made out the top of her styled head. He quickly ran out of the office and down the stairs. He had to see her.
When he reached the main floor he burst through the crowd gaining pace. People protested as he pushed past them. Hopefully she hadn't gone. He reached the large doors and could see her standing on a small stage opposite the large building which was the American embassy.
Hermione was standing proud with a large smile on her face. She was wearing a red suit dress with her hair flowing gracefully down her back. Her arm linked with a tall handsome dark haired man. The flashes of photos were everywhere.
"Mr Malfoy what is it?" asked Becky panting holding Daniel. The little boy instantly saw his mother and jumped down and into the crowd.
"DANIEL COME BACK!" shouted Draco. However Daniel was long gone. Draco started to make his way to the crowd.
"Calm down everyone and we will answer all of our questions" boomed the man's voice.
"Ambassador Dearheart how is the policy with America going?"
"It's going very well thank you. We are making great progress in uniting Britain and the US than ever before."
"Miss Granger where have you been all these years? Are you in a relationship with the Ambassador?" Draco stopped. He could see Daniel in the distance however he could hear her sweet voice.
"Well after Hogwarts I went to the US where I carried on with my writing as well as being in a part of the talks in uniting Britain and the US further to keep world peace with William here. " Hermione replied sweetly. It didn't sound like the real her. It was false. Draco knew exactly where she had been the past 4 years.
"And if miss granger and I are in a relationship then I'm bloody lucky! Well I think that this will show you" replied William Dearheart flashing a grin again before kissing her. Draco wanted to throw up and anger boiled up inside of him. He wanted to hex that slimy bastard into a million. The crowd surged again towards the podium and Draco got swept away. He couldn't see Daniel anymore. He knew that the boy however would be as close he could get to his mother. Draco carried on trying to get to the front of the crowd and when he found Daniel tried to pick him up.
"Daddy its mummy! She's back! MUMMY!" Daniel cried trying to undo Draco's grip.
"Daniel we can't." Draco pleaded. They were at the front row now and had a good view of her. She was looking around the crowd and when she spotted them her expression changed only for a second. Draco didn't know whether she remembered them.
"Daddy let me go! Please daddy I want to give mummy a hug"
"Not yet Danny keep still!" the little boy didn't listen and kept squirming. Finally Hermione and William walked of the podium after answering more questions. Daniel got so angry that suddenly Draco was thrown off him and Daniel ran up Hermione hugging her legs. Draco on the floor got up quickly. Daniel had used magic to get what he wanted. He showed more signs of magical ability
"Mummy you're back. I missed you so much mummy. Don't ever leave daddy and I again" he said through her mind. The crowd awed not knowing the situation while Hermione looked worried at first but then plastered a big smile on her face. William boomed in his English/American twang.
"It seems we have a little supporter here. Mione love I think that someone was jealous of that kiss and wants you to be their valentine!" the crowd chuckled and William ruffled Daniel's hair. The little boy pulled a face at him "Well son I'll make sure that we get that vote in the US ok?" Hermione bent down and hugged Daniel. She hoped that the hug didn't look like to the others a hug to a mother and her son.
"Daniel come back here now" draco said sternly. He didn't want a Dearheart seeing Daniel at all. Hermione looked Draco and nodded
"Yes Daniel you are the people that we are changing the world for. I think great things will come of you" Hermione said. She then slipped a piece of paper into Daniel's hand and shook it.
"It was lovely meeting you Daniel. I hope that we will meet again. Happy Valentine's Day. You are my valentine" Hermione replied. William then shook the little boys other hand and the couple carried on walking. The flashes of light was blinding and the crowd swallowed them up leaving Daniel and Draco standing there where Hermione once was but now wasn't. Daniel took Draco's hand.
"Daddy mummy didn't know me. Why did mummy go again?" Daniel asked. Draco looked down at him. Daniel looked broken, his little fingers fiddling with the piece of paper.
"She did Daniel she just had to go away again. What have you got there?" Daniel handed him the piece of paper.
I have not forgotten. Meet me at the Falcon hotel. Midnight. Alone. M xx
A smile started to creep on his face. She still knew them. She hadn't been obilvated yet. She was a good actress he had to admit. She wanted to see him.
"Come on Danny lets go home. Daddy is going out tonight and so we better get you ready because someone is going to a sleepover at nana Cissy's" Daniel immediately started to jump up and down. Nana Cissy's was his favourite place. She gave him ice-cream whenever he wanted and let him do whatever he wanted. The boys walked hand and hand down the street.
