Chapter: Mia

The arms finally let go and the person stepped back. She gasped. Harry, Ron, and Ginny were standing at the door. "Oh my god!" She gasped. They all smiled at her. She stepped aside. "Come on in." She allowed them in.

She led them into the living room and they all sat down, then she heard a crash, a bash, and a loud cry. Hermione jumped up. "Oh my god Devon!" She ran into the kitchen to find her little boy sitting on the floor crying. He had a few cuts on his hands, but there was a huge one on his left cheek. She gasped as she saw the broken cereal bowl. "I'm sorry mommy!" He managed to get out. She heard running footsteps. "Devon's hurt!" She scooped him up. "We have to get him to a hospital." Ron and Ginny looked down at the boy in Hermione's arms. She ran to the fireplace. "St. Mungo's!" She named the wizarding hospital and stepped in. They came out in the lobby. A medi- witch was walking past and she noticed Hermione. "Is something wrong?" The witch rushed up. Hermione looked down. "Something happened to Devon, my little boy, I think the bowl exploded!" The medi-witch got Devon on a bed and she began mending his cuts. "Can you tell me what happened?" "Well, he was eating cereal and I went into the living room for a minute. Then I heard a crash and a bash and him crying. I ran in and found him on the floor like this." The medi-witch nodded, then looked down at Devon. He looked frozen, petrified. "Well, Miss, I think he was scared by something, maybe so scared that he caused the bowl to explode. Do you have any idea what might have done this?" Hermione shook her head. "Very well. Just wait here for a few minutes." She left and Hermione looked down at Dev, who's face was white, as if he'd seen a ghost. He looked over to her. "Dev, did you see something?" "Mommy...I saw...me...b-but older..." Hermione gasped. Dev was a spitting image of Draco, had he seen his father? Alive? After five years of being presumed dead?

Ten minutes later they were stepping out in the living room. Hermione sat down shakily with Dev beside her. "Mione, what's wrong?" She shook her head, then sent Dev off to bed. "Well..." "Wait, is Dev, as you called him, Ma-Draco's child?" Hermione felt hot tears run down her cheeks as she nodded. Ginny hugged her. "Oh Mione it's okay. Talk to us." Hermione let out a long, shaky breath. "Well, right then, I think Dev might have seen...oh I know this sounds stupid, but I think he saw Draco." She shook her head. "You guys, will never understand how much I love him. Love, yes, I always will, dead of alive. I can't believe that happened, Harry, can you tell me exactly what you saw?" "Well," started Harry, "It was the last day of the battle, we were down to the last hour too, Voldemort called Draco a traitor, and hit him with a curse, last we saw he fell to the ground, as if dead, but then he stood, weakly, shakily, and stumbled into the woods near us. Quite soon after, Voldemort was defeated, killed as we may say. We searched the woods, but didn't find him." Harry looked over to his crying friend. "Hermione, we're so sorry, we love you, like a sister, and it doesn't matter, we're so sorry, (I speak for all of us as I say this) about that day, about that last day of school."

Draco's POV

'I can't believe it. I'm still alive, I think. I just saw myself in my window, but I was younger?' He shook her head and ran his hair through his hair. His hand was bloodstained. He had a flashback just then.

Flashback

He heard Voldemort, calling him a traitor. Then he was hit by a purple light and fell to the ground, for sure he was dead. Then he felt himself try, try and stand up, he had to get back to Hermione. He made it to the woods, and then passed out again. He remembered waking up for a split- second in a dungeon, then passing back out again. Waking up in his bed, then passing out, and lastly, waking up on the sidewalk, and passing out again.

End Flashback

He looked around. He was outside his old house. He wondered if Hermione still lived there, or if she had found someone new, if she had forgotten about him.

He found an open window and stood near it. He heard a sobbing noise. "But Harry you could never understand, none of you could! I love him so much, when I heard he...died, Harry let me tell you something. I see so much of him in Devon, it's so hard, I cry myself to sleep every night. Ron, I love Dev just as much as Draco, but I can barely look at him without seeing Draco. You don't know how it feels. Will you just please leave me alone!" He heard a few muffled noises and then footsteps. He pinched himself, it hurt. 'Who's Devon?' He thought. 'Was it that little boy?' He heard a noise and some more footsteps. "Mommy!" He heard a child yell. "What is it Dev?" He managed to see in the high window. Hermione was sitting on a chair, with a little boy in her lap. Draco gasped. The boy was a spitting image of him! "I had a nightmare! This guy, who looked just like me, but older, the one I saw in the window, he was coming closer, calling out a name," He scrunched up his face. "It sounded like Mi or Mia or something...it was really scary!" Hermione gasped as she heard her dream being retold, then hugged Dev tightly. Draco walked around the house and rang the door bell. Hermione looked at Dev. "Come on, I wonder who it is?" She took the little boys hand and led him to the door. Harry and Ron and Ginny had left right when she told them to.

Hermione reached the door as he knocked again. She opened it slowly and gasped. "Hello, Mia." She gasped again and fainted. Draco caught her.

-A/n- Well, how do you like my story so far? I know, this chapter was really short, but I thought a cliff would be best, and here seemed like the right place...so review and tell me what you think!
