AN: I do not own anything other than Hydra.
Harry POV
I was feeling a little trepidation as I watched Draco and my daughter walk away hand in hand. But she's his daughter too. She deserves to know her other father. I waved as they left the Great Hall and then I got up to go to my meeting with Minerva.
I gave the password and waited on the revolving staircase in my own thoughts about Draco and how well Hydra had gotten along with him. I didn't expect her to be as friendly with him as quickly as she has been. It was so nice to see them together, both my blonde angels. They were both so alike, in more ways than I could count. I wish I hadn't left. I wish hed had a chance to know her from the beginning. He's missed everything. All of her firsts. The first time she was ill, her first word, her first tooth. Everything.
I got to the top of the stairs and knocked on the door. At Minerva's 'enter' I went in and smiled at her. She got up and walked round her desk to give me a hug. I returned the hug tightly. We parted and then I sat down in front of her desk.
'How are you doing Harry? Are you settling in?'
'Were fine Minerva. Were settling in well and Hydra seems to really like it here. Shes coming out of her shell a bit and I truly believe that itll be a good experience. She needs a female influence in her life, other than Hermione and Andromeda'
'And what about Draco? Are you coping being so close to him again?'
'Its okay. Theres not much I can do really. Hydra has taken a liking to him it seems.'
'Is she?'
'Yes Minerva, she's his daughter too. But no, he has no idea.'
'Don't you think you should tell him. Why didn't you tell him?'
'He's never asked. She was better off not knowing the guy he was when I left him'
'Is that why you left?'
I nodded at her. She could see I was getting a bit teary and anxious. She got up and hugged me again. We then discussed what was planned to happen with Hydra while I teach my lessons, and then she told me I was okay to leave, but had to let her know if I needed any help with anything.
I then set off to go and find my daughter. It didn't take me long to find them. But they weren't alone. There sat on a picnic blanket with my little girl and my Draco was Pansy Parkinson. But Dracos not yours, is he? They look like a cute little family. But Hydra's my family! I went over towards them and smiled as Hydra looked over at me. She jumped up and ran towards me holding a chain of flowers.
'Papa, look what Miss Pansy taught me to do. It's a daisy chain' She squealed at me. I laughed as I picked her up and swung her around.
Pansy and Draco stood to greet me. I smiled awkwardly at Draco. Pansy held her hand out to me to shake my hand.
'Pleasure to see you again, Mr Potter. Its been too long'
'Come on Pansy, really? Were resorting to last names again?'
'ok Harry, I was just trying to be polite'
'You can be polite and still call me Harry'
'Ok Harry. Your daughter is beautiful by the way'
'Thank You'
We continued to talk for a while whilst Draco charmed a toadstool to bounce like a trampoline for Hydra. I smiled as I heard her giggling like mad. I looked at my watch to see it was time for dinner. I told Hydra to say goodbye and then led her back into the Great Hall.
