So I probably should have been a little more specific about the two stories that I'm writing. The story with Sirius and Lupin is not a boy/boy story. It is a story that involves them as characters. Plus, there's this girl...I don't want to give too much away, but it's kind of awesome. Also, the story with Charlie is awesome too. Both stories are like four chapters long, but I just want to know which you would prefer to read net.

Also, about this story, I have written an epilogue. It's 8 pages long and follows JK's last chapter 19 years later. But I'm wondering if it would just be a waste of a chapter since it basically goes around in a circle. Anyway, let me know what you guys think! Happy Friday!

BTW, the net two chapters are very sad...so brace yourselves...

...

There was no question that the power at Hogwarts had shifted. Because they had no Head Master, Professor Snape was given the job on a temporary basis. At the same time, Draco had assumed the position of Head Boy at school. Nobody would mess with him and nobody would even look at him. And as strange as it was, Draco wasn't enjoying the attention. All he could think about was Audrey. Snape had called attention to one very important fact: Draco had no idea where Audrey was. With her passport and all of that money, she could be anywhere in the world. For all he knew, she really was in Africa having tea with some tribe. At least his parents were still completely in the dark with some serious help from Snape. He had reported that everything was completely normal and that there was no need to worry.

While he was walking back to his room one night after some studying in the library, Draco heard voices coming from one of the classrooms. He slowly headed towards the classroom, making sure that he was completely silent.

"They're just outside of Oxford." It was Ginny Weasley doing her best to keep her voice down. "Apparently there's an old chapel out there that's supposed to have one."

"How are they doing, do they need us to send them anything? Food?" And there was Neville Longbottom, actually sounding strangely intelligent.

"Do they need any Nunda repellant?" Luna Lovegood…for as long as he lived, Draco would never understand that girl.

"No, they're fine. Audrey's been doing the food shopping and cooking for them."

Draco's jaw dropped as soon as he heard the words. Of all the things that Audrey could do, she had to do this?

"They can't communicate very well, but I got a short letter from Hermione saying that they're all fine and surviving very well."

Draco let out a mental sigh of relief, thrilled that Audrey was safe. He was not happy that she was still in the country, but she had somehow landed in a surprisingly safe place. They wouldn't touch her or Potter because of the baby that she carried. Hopefully, she wouldn't be found until…well, Draco just didn't want her to be found, ever.

"Hey, can you two keep a secret?" Ginny suddenly asked, causing Draco's ears to perk up. The two obviously nodded because Ginny kept talking. "My brother found Audrey on the side of the road; apparently she ran away from Draco's house."

"Why would she do that?" Luna asked in her typical airy manner.

"Draco forced her to marry him. She was running away from an abusive marriage…and she's pregnant." The pair quietly gasped while Draco fumed outside the door. He was not abusive! Ron Weasley was going to receive a serious beat down when he saw him next.

"She's really pregnant?" Neville asked. "That's such a shame, she was always so nice. I'll never understand what she saw in Malfoy, they seemed like such polar opposites."

"I know, when she stayed the night at my house after they found her, she helped clear the dishes and helped my mom clean up, while she was three months pregnant."

They continued to comment on the situation, but Draco didn't want to listen anymore. He quietly walked by the door with his head down and his fists clenched. While he didn't care what other people thought of him, he did care about what people thought of his relationship with Audrey. He was not abusive; he cared deeply for Audrey and his child.

This wasn't right; he had to fix this.

Draco turned and went back to the room where the three of them were still chatting. He slammed open the door, standing in the doorway with a scowl on his face.

"I need to clear some things up." He said as calmly as he could manage. They looked terrified that he was there, but Ginny quickly nodded.

"All right…" She said with frightened eyes.

"First off, I am not abusive. I would do anything for her and…I love her." It was weird to say it, but the words rang true in his mind. "Secondly, Audrey's pregnant with my child, but that only happened after we got married, which she was not forced to do. She wanted to marry me and I wanted to marry her…so please, do me a favor and stop saying those things about us."

"But why did she run?" Luna suddenly asked. Draco sighed, choosing his words carefully.

"She didn't run, I sent her away." He told them. "Audrey was heading to our family home in France…to have the baby, it's part of an old family tradition. I was born in France, my father was born in France, and his father was born in France…that's just how we do things…"

"But…I thought…" Ginny tried to interrupt him, but Draco just shook his head.

"Please…just accept that." He looked over them slowly. "Keep it to yourselves…not for me, but for Audrey. I'm trying to protect her." Without question they all nodded. Draco edged towards the door, but Ginny stopped him.

"When I write back, I'll ask how Audrey is. And when I get a response, I'll let you know." Draco nodded, actually managing to smile at them.

"Thank you, I would really appreciate that." He said before quickly leaving the room with a smile still on his face. The three were suddenly at ease as soon as he left the room, but Ginny had a strange swell of happiness in her stomach.

"I never thought that I'd see the day when Draco Malfoy would actually confess his love for somebody other than himself." She said with a silly grin. Neville nodded, letting out a low whistle.

"I don't think that any of us did."

…

With the news that Audrey was alive and well, a great weight seemed to be lifted from Draco's shoulders. He wasn't thrilled with the company that she was currently keeping, but he would be secretly grateful to Harry, Ron, and Hermione for taking the risk and bringing Audrey with them. Of course, he would never show his gratitude to them. Even if he was having a change of heart, he would never show it.

For some reason, on an especially frigid November evening, Draco couldn't sleep. It was silent and his room was comfortably warm, but Draco couldn't shut his eyes for more than two minutes. He had taken to pacing back and forth in front of the fire place, pondering why he couldn't sleep until the wee hours of the morning.

If only he knew the reason for his strange anxiety…

Miles away, just outside of the chapel in Oxford, Audrey lie sweating with a terrible frown on her face. Her traveling companions were all fast asleep, but there was no way that she could sleep. Sharp, stabbing pains were shooting through her body. It had started hours ago just as she was making dinner, but it was just small little pings of pain. Now it had grown to something immensely painful that she just couldn't deal with for another minute. Her vision was blurring from the pain as she sat up and stumbled out the front entrance of the tent. As soon as she stepped outside and felt a gust of wind hit her face, she groaned. She shuddered as if somebody had just stabbed her in the stomach. Right now, death would be a welcome visitor.

"Oh my God Audrey, what's wrong?" Audrey collapsed to the ground, letting out a soft cry as soon as she sunk into the snow. Hermione dropped down next to her and managed to roll her onto her back. There was panic slapped across her face, but Audrey was too delirious with pain to even register what was going on. "You're covered in blood." She whispered in shock. Audrey stared up at her, her vision blurred with black edges.

"Please help me…something's wrong." Hermione called for the two boys, who were outside and surrounding Audrey within seconds.

"Why's she bleeding?" Harry asked Hermione while taking Audrey's hand to comfort her. They all knew why she was bleeding, but the question had just tumbled out of his mouth. Hermione pulled up her hair and rolled up her sleeves.

"Ron, go grab all of the towels and the medical kit. I'll get her pants off; Harry you help her sit up and keep her conscious. She has to be awake for this." Harry instantly moved behind her and helped her sit up while Ron ran into the tent. Hermione carefully removed her pants, Audrey hardly able to comprehend all of the movement. When she saw Harry's concerned face hovering above her, she actually felt comfort.

"Something's wrong." She said as Ron and Hermione carefully put a towel underneath her and Hermione peeled off her blood soaked pants and underwear. Harry nodded, gently grasping both of her hands.

"I know, we're going to try and help you, okay?" He said softly. She nodded, the pain all running together.

"Okay, I trust you."
