Note: Well, it's your lucky day. I didn't think I would be able to update for another few days, but because you all are so awesome, I made time. Your support through these hard times is very much appreciated. I love you guys. So unfortunately, this is the last chapter. I hope you all have enjoyed the story.

After the questioning from the aurors, Harry and Ginny took me home, by home I mean Grimmauld place of course. What I really needed was a good sleep for a while. And I actually could now. It was over. Malfoy was caught and he and his family thrown in Azkaban. I'm not sure how long the sentence is.

I laid down in my bed ready for the well deserved sleep I was deprived of for the last year. Welcome sleep.

Almost a year later, I was healing- slowly. Things were getting back to normal. I could sleep easy. I could have fun. I could live life.

I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl. I decided to give up her to a wonderful couple who were stable and loving enough to give her a wonderful life. I do miss her of course. Giving up that baby was the hardest thing I ever had to do- to turn around and walk away pretending I didn't love her.

Not even Ginny knows that I regret it. I wish I had kept her. I could have provided a life, but part of me knows the one she is getting will be better. The couple let me choose her first name though. I named her Emilia. I always loved that name... They chose the middle name Zoe.

Her name is Emilia Zoe Carter. She will grow up a nice normal witch in a wonderful wizarding family.

That night I gave her up though, the strangest thing happened. I still don't know if it was magical or a figment of my imagination.

"Where am I? How the hell am I in Malfoy manner?" "So you're joining me tonight, Granger?"

"Malfoy? What the hell is going on? I know I am asleep."

"Yes. You are. But no, this isn't impossible, considering this happens every time I fall asleep, only I see the horrible things I dod to you. I need to tell you some things, Hermione. First-"

"Wait a second. You just called me 'Hermione'"

"Yes, is it a crime to use your first name?"

"For you it should be..." I mumbled. I was so confused.

"Anyway, I have to tell you that, that, that I'm sorry. What I did to you- I can't really apologize can I? All the words I could say to make excuses or attempt to say really mean nothing. No matter how I try to calm my conscience, this happens. I havent slept right in a year, not just because I'm in Azkaban, but because all I can think about is what I did to you.I had these dreams before I came here so I know it's not the dementors. I tried to write them off and keep my awful exterior. I know this is out of character for me, but I am exceedingly sorry."

He breathed in deep.

"Is this magic or in my head, Malfoy?"

"It's magic, Hermione."

"I don't know if I believe you. But, Draco, yes I used your first name, I have learned a lot- through therapy mostly, but I learned that if I don't forgive you on some level that I can never be happy with my life. So I guess, if this is a dream, my sub-conscience forgives you. If this is magic and I am talking to you, I guess I really do somewhat forgive you."

"Tell me about our baby."

"I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Her name is Emilia Zoe Carter. She was 6 pounds 2 ounces. She doesn't have generic blue eyes like most babies. She has steel gray- like her father. Barely any hair, but I think it was brown- like her mother. She has all ten fingers and all ten toes. Perfectly healthy. Perfectly beautiful."

"Emilia Zoe Carter? Beautiful name. You gave her up?"

"I had to."

He simply smiled at me. Not a smirk, a real smile.

"You have to go now, Hermione."

"I know. I have to go back to life."

It's been 2 years since the dream. I am happy. No, I'm not seeing anyone. But, still, life is good. The Carters send me one picture of Mia a year from her birthday. She has those steel gray eyes of Malfoy's, my curl brown hair, and a very good mix of his and my facial features.

Ron and I made up. We decided on being friends. We're just not right together. In fact, he found the love of his life six months ago, Allison Hamilton, a sweet muggle girl who he is going to propose to tonight. Boy was she in for a shock when she found out we were wizards.

Harry and Ginny have twins- one boy one girl, James Sirius Potter (of course) and Hermione Casey Potter. Couldn't believe it when they gave her my first name.

We are all still friends. I know this is a sappy way to end the story of my life to you all, but I can't hink of any way different I would want it to end, except to have my daughter Mia with me. Oh, my Mia.

Note: So this is the end! What did you think? Also, I am thinking possible sequel. What do you guys think?
