A/N: Yay, you made it! Just a few hundred words to go. A few quick things, I wrote this part first actually, hence the title, but then realised that the majority of the story was before this point. So this was actually to be part of an epilogue or part 2 or something. There is about a fifteen year time jump between the last chapter and here and a great deal of stuff went down in-between, but I'll try to explain as much as I can in the summery down below. Just in case you forgot, this was written before Book Six was released, just in case you get a bit confused. As always I do not own Harry Potter and receive no monetary profit from fanfiction.

Chapter Four - The Proof
Harry Potter couldn't believe what he was seeing, it was him. The proof. Him with that white hair and brown eyes, his mothers' eyes. His fathers' hair and mothers' eyes, Harry sneered at the irony. He watched the boy running through the alley, laughing. Had his father ever acted like that? No! He must of got it from his mother. And there was his mother laughing and running trying to catch her son. Her red hair flying behind her, her robes catching the sunlight, and her mouth unable to not smile. Harrys' breath caught and he moved back bumping into something.
"Alright Harry?" Ron steadied him and looked out to where Harry was staring when he didn't answer. Ginny was just kneeling down and wrapping her arms around her son, both were laughing. "Oh." Was all he could think to say and stood beside his friend to watch his sister.
"Is that-"
"Snape." Harry growled the word and Ron was reminded of when they first met Sirius. But it was indeed Snape that the boy was running to. Snape who knelt down, dropping his purchases on the ground, spreading his arms wide for the boy, then closing them around him and picking him up laughing. Then Ginny was beside them touching Snapes' arm causing him to smile and throw back his head laughing in mirth. Then Ginny was carrying the packages and Snape was carrying the boy on their path through the alley still too far away for Ron and Harry to hear their conversation. But they could see the comfort with each other and it triggered in Ron's mind that Snape was the boys' Godfather and distinctly saw Ginnys' lips form the word 'Severus'.
The boy struggled to get out of Snapes' arms and when he was back on the ground off and running again to a man standing in front of Madam Malkins. He was tall and broad and the boy jumped into a hug before being set back on the ground. His mother followed suit and hugged the man though her small frame was defined even more by his sheer mass. He smiled down at her and embraced hands with Snape when he came up and seemed to be explaining why he was standing infront of Malkins.
"Did you ever think you'd see the day my sister would be laughing and hugging Severus Snape and Gregory Goyle? Not to mention being the mother of Draco Malfoy's son."
"No, can't say any such thought ever came into my head." Harrys' voice was tinged with disgust and anger and Ron had an idea that it might be best if Harry wasn't around this scene.

No, seriously that is where it ends. Continue reading only if you want to know how this story went in my head.
It actually would of started on the train to Hogwarts in Ginny's first year, Draco's second, (Remember Harry and Ron took the car so no one was there to really watch over little Ginny) where she would of received her first kiss by Draco. He was a constant source of torment to her, along with a few other things, that year. Yes I know it's young, but kids eh, what are you going to do? Moving on, Ginny and Harry start dating all naturally and in a moment of stupid he breaks up with her, leaving her easy prey again, only she's got a bit more experience now and a certain pretty Slytherin lurking about. Dumbledore sees this as an opportunity for the Order to have Ginny go deep undercover. She actually breaks completely from her family moving in with Draco, not at Malfoy Manor, but at one of Voldemort's mansions, which are being used for DeathEater residences all over, with Voldemort himself moving between them at his desire. Ginny basically gets used by all involved, insert explicit content here, for over a year. Even Snape gets a little, but that's more because he's her only connection to her old life, her only clue that everything she's doing now is a lie, and he's a bit lonely and pervy. But it's ultimately Draco realising that he actually cares for and wants to spend the rest of his life with Ginny that he seeks to keep her safe. He even kills Lucius when he walks in on them, Voldemort thinks Draco was keeping Ginny safe for him and promotes him in the ranks. Along comes Goyle, seeing that Draco actually loves Ginny and Ginny is slowly loosing her mind. Goyle is the one that makes contact with Dumbledore, in exchange for him being a double agent he wants Dumbledore to get Draco and Ginny out. Snape is then revealed to Goyle to be a double agent as well and they work together from then on, Goyle also becomes good friends with Ginny, after it becomes clear that at least one man in her life doesn't have a desire to take her to bed. Voldemort then orders the marriage of Draco and Ginny, but in name only, he has a desire for Ginny to carry his son and pass it off as Draco's to keep it safe from harm until old enough to defend himself. But Draco being in love with Ginny doesn't follow orders, he gets her pregnant himself and seeking to protect her from the Dark Lord takes her back to her parents to keep her and their unborn child safe. He starts thinking that the only way his child will ever be safe is by defeating Voldemort. Snape and Goyle have no idea what Draco's done with Ginny and can no longer report on her safety to The Order, her own parents also keeping the secret of where she is and her condition. Harry sort of loses it at this point, he's been handled by all of the adults in his life by this point, Dumbledore even confessing that Ginny was undercover to him, but now that she's disappeared he finally takes it upon himself to go after Voldemort, sure that he's finally taken Ginny to bare him a heir. In a somewhat intense battle with not so many deaths of beloved characters, (Crabbe still dies, Crabbe is a bastard) Harry is victorious, he searches high and low and still doesn't find Ginny. He does find Draco though and at the moment he's getting ready to kill Draco, Ginny rushes in, noticeably pregnant Ginny rushes in and saves Draco. She confirms that Draco is the father of her child but can't say for sure that she loves him, and also can't say that she loves Harry. Harry holds in though, at least until Ginny goes into labor and calls out for Draco. Perhaps it is a bit of Stockholm Syndrome, but knowing that she was placed in harms way in the first place by The Order she can never quite forgive them, Snape and Goyle become her closest friends and like uncles to her son. Draco spends the rest of his life doing his best to be a man that deserves the love of Ginny, she in return recognizes that he kept her safe, on more than one occasion, and knows that he will never allow harm come to his son. She doesn't hate him and in time, away from life and death decisions, she comes to love him. She wants to forgive Harry for not rushing in and rescuing her when he found out about her operation but just can't get over the way he looks at her son, and knows that he will never be okay with her and Draco having a lasting connection.
