If It Hadn't Been For Her I Would Be Lost
You know how a book is judged by its cover without knowing what's inside it. Well that's how it is with me I am judged by people because they only see me as an evil prat who's a death eater. But do they know the real person inside of me? No. As far as I know only my Blaise has seen that true side of me. No longer can I speak with him about how it is that I feel for he is no longer here in the world of the living.
As I stand here in front of his grave I remember the times that Blaise would calmly listen to what I had to say with the war or how I despised being the son of Lucius Malfoy and on how people seemed to think that I was a death eater or about what was happening in my life. It's been five years since the death of Blaise and slowly I've gotten over it especially with the help of my wife. When Blaise died in the war I thought I would never be able to get over his death and also I felt as if no one would ever be able to understand me since he was the only person I considered as family.
But then she entered my life and I will never regret being with her because she has been the best thing in my life and I'm grateful for that. She gave me the chance I thought no one would ever give me. She helped me during my depression after the death of Blaise. I guess Blaise was right when he said " You'll never live life unless you decide to give yourself a second chance ". After everything I had gone through I thought it impossible for that to ever happen. Since everyone hated me it would have never occured to me that she would be the one to give me the second chance especially since I had insulted her from the time we had entered Hogwarts. My wife and our son have helped me realize that no matter what there are such things as second chances.
As I realize that my wife is standing next to me, a hand on my shoulder, I turn towards her and I realize that if it hadn't been for her I wouldn't have been able to go on with living my life. After I've said good-bye to Blaise's grave, I turn to my wife and tell her " Thank you for giving me a second chance and know that I will always love you Hermione ". She leans towards me until our lips touch and as she retracts herself from me she breathes " Draco, you shouldn't say thank you to me because you were the one who decided to give yourself a second chance and know that I will always be there for you and that I love you ". I give her a final kiss on the lips right before we disapparate to pick our son Blaise from the Burrow.
AN: I just want everyone to know that this is the first story we've written and that we'll accept any reviews even if they are flames and thank you for giving this story a chance.
