A/N :: Do any of you watch Charmed? There's an episode when Piper falls in love with a character from a movie, Billy. After some magical whatnot, he comes off the screen and they hang out + kiss (: Wouldn't that be amazing if, while you were watching HP+tHBP, Draco just waltzed off the screen? If only!

Chapter Thirty Eight || Evelyn Granger-Malfoy.

Draco's POV ::

Hermione shifted in the bed so I could lie next to her. Then she put Evelyn in my arms.

The tiny girl was now asleep. I looked at the face of my infant daughter. Evelyn is perfect. Her soft face, her tiny nose, the small hairs on her head, the way I felt like my arms were made to hold her… just faultless. After waiting nine weeks I couldn't believe I actually had her sleeping against my chest.

All the tension between mine and Hermione's clashing personalities vanished. There was no more pain, no more pressure, no more worry. All I could focus on was Evelyn. I never believed in love at first sight before gazing into her startling grey eyes. Magic couldn't recreate this feeling of pure energy.

I felt a little scared. What will she think of me? I traced her cheek. I couldn't wait hug her, to help her, to watch her take her first steps, to watch her hair grow long. I couldn't wait to fall more in love with my daughter.

I turned to Hermione. "Thank you," I whispered, my voice thick with tears.

"Thank you too, Draco. I couldn't have done this without you." Hermione looked up at me. Her eyes were big and bright.

"She's beautiful, just like you." I told her, looking back down Evelyn.

Granger blushed. "Her eyes are gorgeous, that's from you."

I locked gaze with Hermione, both of us on natural adrenaline. Then I leaned down to kiss her. Hermione's lips were soft against mine, spreading warmth throughout my body. She parted her mouth from mine so slowly it made me dizzy.

Hermione's eyes had a new sparkle when she looked at me.

"Parents!" McGonagall's voice was amplified by her wand. "I now invite you to have a chance to meet everyone's baby. Every other bed will move— that means Abbott-Longbottom, Lovegood-Zabini, and Greengrass-Weasley. The other three groups will stay in their beds. Take this chance to get familiar with the other parents and their kids!"

Hermione and I were assigned to stay in bed. Blaise and Luna were the bed next to us, allocated to move. They visited our bed, Luna holding baby Celeste.

"Hello," Luna said, her calming voice like soft velvet.

"Hey, Luna and Blaise." Hermione greeted them. Two chairs were provided for the other group to sit down. Blaise sat in the chair next to Luna and met my eyes.

"Congratulations." Zabini said. I could tell that he was also crying.

"Thanks, bloke." I replied with a smile. Evelyn was still sleeping in my lap as I looked at Celeste. Her spellbinding blue eyes were open and alert. She had no hair on her café-au-lait head. I noticed how well she fit in Luna's arms.

"Celeste is gorgeous," Hermione gushed, admiring baby Lovegood-Zabini.

Luna and Blaise blushed. "Thank you Hermione."

"Hey Celeste, I'm your Godfather." I said to my best friend's daughter. Something about Celeste's gaze told me that, by some chance, she actually understood me.

"What color are Evelyn's eyes?" Blaise asked us.

"Grey, just like dad's." Hermione answered.

"Hey, sleepy head." Blaise leaned forward and placed his hand gently on Evelyn. She seemed even smaller.

"Say hey to your Godparents, honey." I murmured down to Evelyn. By some miracle, she opened her eyes, giving a faint, little yawn.

Blaise and Luna both smiled. "Good morning Goddaughter," Luna said to Evelyn.

When McGonagall sounded it was time to switch, we parted with Blaise and Luna and were met with Neville and Hannah.

Hermione's POV ::

"Hey, guys." I said quietly to Neville and Hannah.

"Good morning to you all; Hermione, Draco, and little Evelyn." Neville smiled and looked at our daughter.

Kenneth was awake in Hannah's arms. His brown eyes searched the room before his gaze landed on me.

"I'm your Godmother, baby." I reached a finger out to touch Kenneth's nose. His parents giggled.

"Your son's gonna be a ladies' man, eh?" Draco smirked at the two.

The pair blushed. "Your daughter is going to be brilliant." Hannah added with a smile.

"I noticed Evelyn has your eyes," Neville pointed out to Draco. "And from Hermione, she has her nose."

I looked down at my daughter. Sure enough, her facial features began to jump out at me; similarities like her nose and her hair.

McGonagall told us to switch again, and Ron and Astoria joined us.

"Nice to see you both!" Astoria waltzed over to my bed holding her baby. "And you too, little girl." She bent over to poke Evelyn.

Raegan Greengrass-Weasley had Ron's trademark ginger curls beginning to sprout from her rosy head. Their daughter had Astoria's green eyes.

"This is Raegan," Ron said, sitting down with Astoria in the chairs. "We think we'll call her Rae for short."

"That's sweet," I commented, looking at Ron. "This is Evelyn," I gestured to Draco's arms.

"Rae says it's nice to meet you." Astoria smiled at Draco after talking to Evelyn sleeping against his chest.

"She's tired," Draco noticed the infant was now sleeping. "But I'm sure she is glad you're here."

"Now, parents," our professor announced. "Switch groups and visit the pairs you have not yet!"

Draco carried Evelyn as we wandered over to Harry and Pansy's bed. Pansy was holding James, and Harry was sitting in a chair very close to the bedside, one arm wrapped around his partner, one arm on his son.

"James, meet your Godmother," Harry said as he saw us approaching.

Draco and I took a seat in two chairs facing the bed.

"Hi, James," I leaned forward to talk to the baby boy. His eyes, a gorgeous hazel, had two rings of color that melted together; one green, one brown.

"Your baby is beautiful." Pansy said. She tilted her head against the pillow, watching Draco's daughter sleep in his arms.

"James is a handsome guy," Draco offered his praise to the son of two people he wasn't fond of, to be put lightly.

"You'll make a great mother, Hermione." Harry smiled at me.

McGonagall ushered us to move. I smiled back at Harry before leaving with Draco. We met with Parvati and Seamus, both of their arms full.

"How's it going? Busy?" Draco laughed as we sat across from the preoccupied couple. Parvati was holding her sleeping son, Anil, while Seamus had a wide awake Aileen in his arms.

"Yea, just a tad." Seamus replied with a grin, looking at Parvati.

"This is going to be a challenge, but we can handle it." Parvati looked up at Seamus, who was seated on her bed.

"I know you guys can do it." I told the couple sincerely.

"Evelyn is truly gorgeous," Parvati admired my daughter.

"Yea, she is beautiful." I heard Draco say. When I turned to smile at my daughter, I realized that Draco was looking at me.
