*We've come into the epilogue territory, and rather than doing a quick one, I'm going to do a few... even though I don't own the story.
The months that followed after the Battle of Hogwarts were quiet but eventful at the same time. Aurors were working overtime to find the Death Eaters that had escaped after the fall of the Dark Lord; the Malfoy's and Kagome had not been excluded. Although they had gone to trial, the verdict had been in their favor. Kagome and Draco, after giving testimony and the Golden Trio had spoken on their behalf, hadn't been charged with any crimes. Narcissa had been placed on house arrest for a time; as well as Lucius, who would not be permitted a new wand for at least five years. All things considered; it was more than fair, especially since Kagome and Draco were permitted to return to Hogwarts to complete their last year.
Kagome had insisted that she and Draco assist in the rebuild of the school. In a way, it helped mend the rift between Draco and her friends. Although they would never be best friends, all of them had seemed to come to an understanding. Which was that the war had been a living hell on all sides, especially for those who had been forced into it like she, Draco and Harry had been.
Most forgave them for what had happened during that time, but not everyone. Many people believed that the two of them got off too easily and were not afraid to voice their opinions on the subject. Since news had gotten out that she was the daughter of the Dark Lord, many people wanted her expelled from school and locked up in Azkaban. Luckily for her, Head Mistress McGonagall and Minister Shacklebolt weren't having it. McGonagall had seen her bring back the loved ones that had fallen at the school; although she did not go into detail, she made it clear to the nay-sayers that many more people would have died if it wasn't for her.
Shacklebolt had looked at her memories personally and knew that she had been working with Dumbledore and Snape to bring down Voldemort the entire time. Trying to get him to use her wand; which would have destroyed his body if he had been able to use it before it started burning him. Attacking the Death Eaters on the inside to thin out their numbers. Mentioning the location of a horcrux while Hermione was present, knowing that they would likely escape soon. As well as learning the names and aliases of many Death Eaters that Voldemort had only discussed with her because she was his daughter.
It bothered her at times, how people judged her because of her bloodline, but Draco was there. Any time it seemed to be too much for her, he was there to hold her and keep her calm. Whispering little stories and memories into her ear as he held her, doing his best to bring a smile back to her face. She still wasn't sure if he loved her or just had affection for her after everything they had been through, but she hoped that someday, it could be real love for him because she couldn't see herself with anyone else.
AN: Just a little glimpse at the past, the things Kagome did while she was undercover, and how I think people would honestly react to her identity. Am I wrong? Warm-Fuzzies and please review!
