Narcissa shot up and screamed in Pain and in came Poppy rushing to her aid she thought, but instead blonde hair fell on the side of her face as she faced her husband leaning over her making sure she was okay.
"Lucius…no, it's not possible! Harry even said you died!" she started screaming and squirming out of his grip.
"Shhhh! Narcissa stop stressing yourself I will explain everything later for now just concentrate on our baby girl," he smiled down at her and she pulled him into a kiss as she felt another contraction and dropped her head back into the pillows. Draco came over and stood on the opposite side of his Father, but instead of looking at his Mother he took in his Father's features. All along he was dreaming of his Father in his dream and not of himself, so his Father was alive all along, at this moment he felt content and happy as he pushed his thoughts of the Dark Lord out of his mind. Behind him he heard Hermione stir in her bed and went over to her.
"Hermione…," he breathed.
"Draco," she smiled and then looked over at the man standing over his Mother "Your Father is alive?"
"I know! He'll explain everything later right now he just wants to calm my Mother down."
'I guess that's why Voldemort kept talking like he was alive,' she thought to herself.
In a few minuets Draco went to wake everyone up for Madame Pomphrey said his Mother was about to give birth so he rallied everyone up in the lobby. After a half and hour passed in came Lucius holding his new baby girl in his arms beaming at everyone while everyone stood there with their mouths wide open in shock, but decided to shake off the questions and congratulate him and introduce themselves to the new Malfoy member. Dumbledore and Snape pulled him to the side and had to do a security check on him to make sure he wasn't under any spells or charms. When they were done they interrogated him while everyone was listening in.
"So once I cast that spell at Narcissa to be sent here to Hogwarts my wand flew out of my hand from when the killing curse hit it and my wand was still shooting out the beam that sent her away and hit me and sent me somewhere I don't know of, all I knew was I needed to get here to my family," he paused "The Lord knew I was still alive, he had my wand so that's why I couldn't apparate anywhere and if I were to die he would've made it known in the Daily Prophet for if he killed his right hand man then that would prove to the world he would even kill people dear to him."
After they registered the story again and again Lucius took his Daughter who McGonagall was holding and went to check on his sleeping wife.
"Draco!"
"Yes," he got up from sitting next to Hermione who was feeling much better today and went to aide his Father who handed him his baby sister "I want you to meet your sister Faith Malfoy," he handed her over to Draco who cradled his sister in his hands as he watched his Father lay next to him Mother and fell asleep next to her. 'I bet a bed must feel good after awhile,' he smiled inside for once in his life he felt complete his Father was never dead his Mother wouldn't be depressed anymore and here was his sister in his arms beaming up at him. He returned to the bed Hermione was sitting on and held his sister up to her.
"Hermione meet Faith, Faith Meet my Girlfriend Hermione," Hermione laughed as she touched Faith's little hands.
"Faith? I thought your parents were going to name her Destiny."
"Yeah they were, but Mother I guess thought Faith was more appropriate 'for all you need is a little Faith'," he smiled.
"Well Faith is beautiful," she started to laughed.
"What?"
Hermione pointed at Faith's mouth "She's already developing the famous Malfoy smirk," Draco laughed. Pansy and Ginny came over and asked to hold her when Pansy held Faith she looked up at Draco and Hermione.
"I hope you two don't get any ideas!" she squealed.
"We'll we may not have a kid, but-" Hermione smacked him "How dare you even think that of us! Were appalled!"
"Draco…" she shook her head at him "I really love you," she laughed.
"I know," he leaned in and kissed her.
"Get a room you two!" Blaise and Ron chanted.
"No more like Harry and Cho get a room! They haven't parted for awhile now," Ginny pointed over to them who were in a lip locked that seemed would never be opened, not even for air. Harry felt their stairs and pulled apart and Cho laughed as they made their way over to Faith.
"Awww Draco you have a beautiful sister," Cho cooed.
"What can I say it runs in the Malfoy blood," he stroked a hand through his hair "Blaise what's wrong with you?"
"I'm just overwhelmed that your Father's back…I wish mine was," he half smiled.
"He is basically your Father," He clapped him on the back "My families always been there for you, brother."
"Thanks."
Ginny saw their interaction and Hermione too it brought little tears in their eyes as they watched on. Then the bell sounded.
"Oh no," Hermione started to run out of the lobby "Classes!"
Everyone groaned and followed Hermione out except for Draco who stayed back with his family. Being an older brother meant you had to baby-sit.

The boys received many detentions that day for falling asleep during class, but Hermione explained to the professors about what happened this morning and decided just to give them a warning. As they were all making their way to Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid someone pulled Hermione into an empty classroom. At first she was scared, but as the person started kissing her neck she turned around and found Draco staring dreamingly at her.
"What do you want?"
"Gee Hermione I can't be sweet to my lovely girlfriend?" he questioned "Where are you off to anyway?"
She grabbed him by the hand and dragged him towards Hagrid's "We're going to class!"
"Oh come on Hermione! Haven't you ever heard of skipping," She was still dragging him along.
"No I'm sorry that's not in MY dictionary."
Draco smiled from behind her as they reached the class 1 sec shy of the bell. Hagrid entered and started lecturing the class, but Harry and them were not listening at all and motioned for Draco and Hermione to join in.
"Harry that's crazy there is absolutely no way you could do that!"
"Pansy anything is possible," Ron cued in.
"What's up?"
"Oh Harry here wants to go and defeat He-who-much-not-be-named alone," Pansy announced nonchalantly.
"HARRY! That's crazy!"
"Draco, assure your girlfriend I can take care of myself if I do this mission he's not going to stop! We got you by a miracle everyone knows he wants me," Harry sighed "I'd die to save our world."
Draco sat there taking in Harry's words it wasn't just Harry he wanted, it was also him so he could continue on as his heir when he becomes fragile. Draco didn't speak once through out the discussion and thankfully know one noticed, once class ended he excused himself from everyone and went to check up on his Father. As he entered the hospital wing he looked over at his Mother holding Faith in her arms and his Father holding the two of them 'They could be happy without me. Mother has Father now,' he smiled. He then crept back into the hall and made his way to the Heads Dorm.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Hermione was sitting on the floor sorting out her homework from hardest to easiest she liked getting the hard stuff done with so she could relax her mind when it came to the easy stuff. Draco made sure not to step on any of her papers as he made his way over to the couch he picked up the pile next to him.
"History of Magic?"
"Draco put that back in the easy pile! Please don't mess things up," she begged.
"Easy now, its advance history…I wonder what's on your hard list," She tossed a paper at him.
"You've got to be kidding me the potions essay for Snape."
"No it's the whole brewing a potion by myself thing."
"Oh I can help you with that," he set it aside and sat next to Hermione "Hermione, remember when you said you didn't want any secrets," she nodded still staring down at her paper "Well I'm going to see the Dark Lord…" she dropped her papers and looked at him.
"I'm sorry say that again, because what I heard was YOU'RE going to see the Dark Lord himself."
"Hermione the night we rescued you he talked about how I was the one he was wanting also besides Potter for I was to be his heir that's why he was so mad at my Father and I for turning our backs on him. We were his most loyalist followers…well my Father was I was supposed to be one," he looked down.
"And you shouldn't be ashamed that you weren't. Draco what's this mainly about?"
"Voldemort's not going to stop-"
"Until Harry defeats him!"
"I know, but if I'm there he'll waist his time with me teaching me all he knows which will buy everyone time to think of a plan to destroy him," he watched Hermione's eyes fill up with tears as she shook her head.
"Draco that's so stupid! Why would you do that when Dumbledore is here and the order-"
"Trust me Hermione I know this is right," he sighed "I'll be the most closet person to him since he no longer trusts my Father. I can get him to trust me!"
Hermione's tears started falling freely down her cheek. She didn't want him to go and play 'Hero' when it was already giving to Harry as his prophecy predicted, along those lines at least. Draco looked at the girl in front of him and promised himself to never forget her no matter what happened. He walked past her and headed to the headmaster to tell him of his plan. When he left Hermione broke down crying even more there was a knock at the door and Hermione waved her wand to open it. In came the group of friends Pansy and Ginny rushed over to her and started comforting her while Harry, Blaise and Ron stood by and asked the questions.
"Did you and Draco break up?" Blaise asked. She shook her head.
"Did a family member die?" Ron asked. She shook her head again.
"Draco did something didn't he or said something?" Harry asked and Hermione shrugged her shoulders.
"Oh wait till I get my hands on him!" Ron yelled as he balled his fists up "Did he take advantage of you?"
"Ron it's not like that," she mumbled through her sobs "He's leaving me!"
Everyone stood there shocked they really did not understand where this was going and really wanted to get to the bottom of things. Everyone stayed by Hermione's side and waited for Draco to get back, but Blaise decided to go out and find Draco himself. He stumbled upon the platinum blonde just descending down the stairs from the Headmasters office.
"So what's up with you and Hermione?"
"On our way to Hogsmeade I'll explain everything," Blaise nodded and didn't even bother asking why they were going there no matter what his best friend decided to do he would support it the best he could. On the way there Draco filled Blaise in on what he was planning to do and Dumbledore had told him Snape was an order member who was a spy for him so he'd make sure to keep a watch out for him. At first Dumbledore didn't agree at all, but after Draco reasoned with him and assured him he would not turn to the Dark side for he loved Hermione more then anything in this whole world. When that was said Dumbledore nodded and put his trust in him and that's when Draco changed his mind about the old man. They looked around in a couple of shops until Draco found the thing he was looking for.
"So you're really going to go through with this."
"Yeah… It's almost March and we graduate in May so hopefully the Lord will be killed so I can be able to attend Graduation with everyone, but if I'm not present remind everyone about me."
"Of course and if I won't Hermione sure as hell will…once she gets over the whole ordeal."
"Yeah I know, but I have something for her," he held up the little bag and Blaise smiled.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
"Hermione listen I am so sorr-"
"There you are!"
Harry and Ron grabbed Draco and pushed him onto the couch "Are you out of your mind!" Harry said.
"Hermione told us everything after she calmed down a little bit," Ron noticed Draco looking for her "She's in her room sleeping."
Blaise took a seat next to Ginny and Pansy and watched on.
"Just trust me I wouldn't do this if I was stupid," he growled as he pushed pass them and made his way to Hermione's room and closed the door.
"Just leave him alone. All the years we've known Draco he does what he wants and we all know that," Blaise said sarcastically.
"Yeah, but when he got together with Hermione he put some things on the back burner," Harry said which caused many confused looks "Never mind."
They stayed and talked for awhile until the clock chimed 11 o' clock and they all left to their rooms.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Hermione lay in bed staring out of the window, but once she heard someone coming in she turned and faced Draco. He took his attire off leaving him in his pajama bottoms he left in her room and got in bed and pulled her close to him.
"I'm sorry about earlier."
"Don't worry about it just promise to come back to me," Draco smiled as he pulled the bag off the night stand and handed it to her "What's this?"
"I don't know open it," she sat up and Draco followed.
As she lifted the small box up from the bag she smiled and opened it. Inside was a platinum silver ring with and big emerald in the middle of it with two white diamonds on the side of it. She sat there gawking at it and Draco took it from the box and held it up along with Hermione's left hand and stared into her eyes as she stared into his.
"Hermione this is my promise to you that I will come back to you," she started to cry tears of joy as he said that part "There is no one else in this whole world I'd rather be with other then you and I haven't met everyone in the world I know, but I don't need to because I have you. You've taught me so much like how pure blood doesn't really matter even though I still think that's why I look so good," she laughed as she cried "I love you Hermione Granger and I want you to trust me that this will all turn out right," he slipped the ring on her finger and smiled at her.
"I trust you more then anyone Draco."
"More then Harry and Ron and-"
"Draco shut up," she pulled him on top of her and started kissing him passionately "I love you too Ferret."
Draco laughed and kissed her with all the passion he had they broke apart catching their breath and as she laid there under him she moved a piece of his hair out his vision.
"Hermione…are you sure you want to-"
She held up her finger to his mouth and captured his lips with hers, she pushed him over and straddled him as she took off her top and smiled down at him. Draco grabbed her by the hips and pulled her forward she could feel that a certain part of his body enjoyed this very much so she just kept going. She felt like tonight was the right night and so that night Draco and Hermione made love for the first time.
