Draco's P.O.V

Grangers stormed out. I am not going after her. I look up to see that the woman whose name I forgot, staring at me with a wide grin. She has a husband for god sake but it's still funny when Granger gets annoyed, its only flirting, it's as if she is jealous. I don't really care if she is annoyed or not, I want to make her upset and annoyed and everything because that's how she made me feel.

I know that this woman is trying to speak to me but I am not listening, she is a very uninteresting person, but I know that John didn't marry her for her intelligence but for her big boobs and slim body. I ignore her and turn my head to see that this Zac guy has got up to follow her. He looks at me and shakes his head, I don't care what he thinks, I am not following her, she decided to run off for no real reason. I sit there staring after him, the door closes behind him and I know he is going to look for Granger. I don't really trust him to be alone with Granger so I get up and ignore the woman and shove the big heavy doors open. I look around the big foyer and see them both standing at quite close proximity. I catch Granger smiling at what Zac has said to her. He has his hand on her arm. No, I am not letting her flirt with him; I don't like this guy one bit. Anyway, she moans at me for flirting but yet she goes ahead and does it herself, hypocrite. Zac turns away and I see him slightly grinning and then he sees me and his grin drops and he shakes his head again. I swear if he shakes his head again I will knock his fucking head off. I storm past him and shove my shoulder into his and I walk up to Granger not caring if I hurt Zac.

'You moan at me for flirting yet you go and do the same.' I huff.

'For your information Malfoy, I have gotten him to meet with me because he said he can tell me about what he does and apparently he can't say it here. So it's going to be something important. So my so called flirting actually got us somewhere.' She says angrily.

'Yea, but like you said, if John catches you flirting he's going to get suspicious.' I says as I begin to turn away. She stops me.

'So you are saying that I will get us done for? If you haven't noticed, I am the brightest witch of our age, I helped in the defeat of Voldermort, I think I can do this Malfoy.' Now she turns to walk off.

I drag myself to follow her as I know she is going to the house we have to call ours. I walk slowly as I am in no rush to be alone with Granger. She cannot be annoyed with me or even angry, I should be the one to be annoyed and angry, don't get me wrong because I am, but, she can't be upset over that. I don't even know why I am bothered. I think I am just going to ignore her when I get back and I really can't be arsed with her shit.

I arrive back at the house to hear sobbing, great. Because I am nosey, I walk to our bedroom to find out what the matter is with her. I find her sitting on the end of the bed looking at some sort of book with images.

'Whats that Granger?' I ask, not actually caring.

'A photo album of our daughter.' She replies.

Interesting. Im going to see if I can have a look, surely she will let me, but before I can ask her she speaks.

'I am sorry. I know that sorrys not good enough but you are going to have to understand my reasons...'

'I dont think there is a good enough explaination with or without reasons that not telling a father that they are the father.'

'I-I know but just listen to me. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't know how you would react to this situation, especially with what happened with your family and with the struggles of staying out of Azkaban, I didn't want to burden you with this, I wanted you to have time to get your life on track.'

'My life has been on track for nearly 5 years now, no one is in Azkaban, I have a great job that I love, so why did you, knowing that my life was great and that I had the money to support our child, not tell me about our daughter? You didn't even tell me I just came too quickly so you didn't have the chance to hide her. Would you have told me?'

Granger doesn't answer and keeps sobbing, this gives me my answer. I knew she wouldn't have done it in a million years, I do kind of understand what she is saying, however she still could have told me.

'You could have told me, you never gave me a chance to be the father that I would have wanted to be. Now I have missed out on the most important years of her life. I will never forgive you for that.'

'I don't expect you to forgive me for that, but I did want to tell you but I didn't want to risk yours and our daughters' life. There are still some death eaters that want to take revenge on us for us killing the Dark Lord and if you knew about her you would be taking her places and hanging around and they would target you and her and I didn't want to risk losing her. Please understand.'

'I kind of do however, I am not stupid enough to make her obvious to the world. I know the dangers and I knew back then what they were, do you think that I would ever risk my daughter's life?' I said angrily. How dare she assume that I would be stupid enough to risk my daughter's life.

'No.' She replies sadly.

'There are no excuses for what you have done. However, I am eternally grateful for her existence in my life now. I will make it up to her the best I can and I appreciate that you will let me be a part of her life, I am glad that you didn't refuse me to be the father that I want to be.'

'I think you will be a great dad and I know that she will love you just as much as you love her.'

'I hope she does.'

'I know she will.'

'You didn't answer my question earlier about if you were ever going to tell me. I don't think you would have done.'

'For your information, Malfoy, I am not that kind of person, I would have told you when I thought was the right time, I would not have tried to hide her from the world just because I didn't want you to know she existed, that wouldn't be fair on any of us. I know she deserves to have a Dad and I have always regretted not telling you straight out but it was hard for me. I was actually going to tell you-' She throws the photo thing at me and I catch it and it has a message on it that I want to read but Granger is still talking- ' I even made this and I had it packed ages ago before you even knew about her and I made this for you and I was going to give it to you this week, but because you know now there was no point but I guess you should have it.'

She storms out and slams the bathroom door behind her. I move towards the bed and sit down on it. I look down to see the message that she has handwritten on it.

Draco, this is a handmade book for you of the pictures of your daughter growing up. I know this might come as a shock for you, but, you have a daughter. I am sorry that I never told you straight away. I had my reasons and the most important one was her safety. I think you would have done the same.

Rosalie Jane Granger.

Birthday: February 1st 1999.

I hope you want to be a part of her life.

I turn to the first page which has 3 images of moving scans. She looks so tiny. The first one just looks like a lump but, it's still my baby. In the next two scans, I can start to see different features like the fingers and toes, they are so small. I turn the page to a double page spread, one is a weird non-moving image of Granger and Rosalie, she looks small in Grangers arms. I wish I could have been there to see the birth of my child. The other photo is a normal one which shows the baby wiggling around happily, my little girl. On the next page there is an image and a description. The image is of Rosalie crying. The description said:

Rosalie when she had to be put in her crib and be away from me. She started crying loudly acting like she didn't want to be away from me. Be a mardy and stubborn girl. She's like you Draco, not just the facial features.

I quickly scan the rest of the images and they are of holidays and of her birthdays. She has grown into a beautiful little girl, like her mum and dad. I put the book down on the bedside and change into my silky green bottoms and get under the covers on the right hand side, remembering that Granger sleeps on the left. Why do I remember such an unimportant thing? Granger walks back into the room in her pyjamas.

'Thanks for this Granger.'

'You're welcome.'

She smiles at the bed and gets in and faces away from me so our backs are towards each other. 'Thanks for remembering that I sleep on the left.'

I grunt in response.

She turns off the light with the flick of her wand. Silence. It's a very awkward silence. I know she is staring at the wall like me, thinking about what to say.

'Draco?'

'Mmmmm?'

'I'm honestly sorry.'

'I know, but I'm not someone who will forgive anyone easily especially on what you kept from me. But I accept your apology knowing that our daughter wants me in her life.'

'Thank you.' She whispers quietly.

Im sorry that this update has took a while, I have been very busy with the last of my exams and prom and photo shoots. Busy, busy.

Anyway, I hope you like this chapter, I know its a short one because I didn't know what to write and I'm not good at writing arguments and speeches but I did my best and I hope you enjoy. Also, I hope you follow my story all the way til the end.

Thanks muchly. X
