Chap 2: Painful Reminder
AN: I know I haven't been writing in a loooooooooooooooong time. And I'm sooooo sorry! But now I have a new baby sister and I'm very lazy. But here is the wanted sequel for IN Love with a Memory.(Hope u didn't get the idea I started liking writing fluff though.) This is Draco's last (and only) letter to his son Landon most everything will be explained if u have questions put it in your reviews. One other thing, I might write a story that goes more in-depth about their love starting from 6th year till their deaths, but that will be a while.
Dear Landon,
I suppose you deserve an explanation as to why I was never in your life and why you never had a mother, let me tell you her story. Your mother was a muggle born, I know you have been raised to think as them as the lowest life forms on this earth but that is not true. Your mother was the purest and most intelligent and beautiful woman I ever met. During our first few years in school we hated each other with a passion. Like you I was brought up believing she was beneath me, little did I know she was far above me. Your mother was the smartest lady to every enter Hogwarts since the Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall, she was confident and held her self with a grace nobody else could master.
When we were 16 we fell in love. I remember thinking this was I was losing my mind. Love between us was again all the rules, completely forbidden. She was a Gryffindor, I was a Slytherin. And the one thing was she never wavered, she always trusted me no matter how many times I screwed up. She promised to stick by my through thick and thin. But I was no better a husband than a father. I will never forget the day she died to save me. Ministry officials had armed themselves with a new weaponry called guns, they had made the gun so it killed just like the Killing Curse but the let pain sink in first. Ministry Officials had stormed into our house on a rampage to catch as many Death Eaters as possible. I was the first on their hit list. But I managed to kill most of them off, then out of nowhere comes a bang and I realized Hermione had ran in front of me, I didn't even know what happened until she fell.
I remember watching in shock as her limp body fell to the floor. After all this time, after everything I've done to her, she died to save me. A woman who could have changed the world with her intelligence and integrity died to save me, a man who is guilty of countless murders who treated her like she was the scum of the earth, who is the right hand man and heir to Voldermort. But none of that meant anything to her; she died to save the one man she truly loves.
I will never forget our last conversation, I will write as much as I remember.
"Draco.promise me that I will never be forgotten by you. Promise you will take care of our son. Promise you will love him like you never loved me." Hermione said meekly as her eyes began to close.
"Oh god no, no, no your not gonna die Hermione. I won't let you. Why? Why did you save me? Why Hermione?" I asked for the first time in an over a decade tears formed in my eyes. Hermione smiled and raised a hand to touch my cheek, I grabbed her hand kissing it I rested it back on my cheek. "I love you Draco. But I don't love the monster you've become. You have to let me die Draco. You don't have a say in the matter. I'm dying to save you. Please don't let my sacrifice go unnoticed. You can change Draco, I know you can. I know you can be the loving man I once knew. You just needed a little push; my death is your push. Renounce the Dark Side, do it for me. That's all I ask for you. Become the man I knew and loved. Amor Omnia Vicit." With those final words Hermione closed her eyes, her mouth curving into a small smile.
It has been over 10 years since she died. Her memory will forever be embedded in my mind and my heart. When she died I regretted all the things I had done to her. I regretted never telling her I loved her, never caring for her. Never thanking her for sticking it with me through it all. After she died I went into seclusion. I spoke to no one I didn't eat didn't sleep. All I felt was an empty void I never realized was there until it was painfully obvious. I know I was never a father to you Landon. I regret that so much. But you do not know how much pain I went through every time I looked into your eyes. You have your mother's eyes. Please forgive me that is all I ask of you and pass this story on to your children. The story of how a love so true was destroyed a story of love changing a person.
Your Late Father Draco Artemis Malfoy
And now I know I'd rather have hard times together with her Than to have it easy apart I'm nothing without her I rather have bad times with her Than good times with someone else Rather be with her in a storm Than safe and warm by myself I'd rather have the one that holds my heart I wouldn't have blamed her if she turned away from me Like I did too her I will always miss Hermione Granger The woman that changed everything for me
AN: So what did you guys think? Draco changed his ways, renounced the Dark Side but he couldn't move on with him life. He never forgave himself for what happened to Hermione and this is his apology to his only son and heir Landon Malfoy. Thank you guys so much for reviewing. I hope you liked it. I think it was very emotional and touching and very ANGSTY! (Ya!) When you guys asked for a sequel I hope you weren't thinking I would make everything fine and dandy. That is so not me! I'm listening to a Chinese song about love lost, what do you expect? LOL
(I mixed up the Lyrics from as song called I'd Rather, not sure who it's by)
