Disclaimer: If I owned it, don't you think I'd have some money? Since I
don't there is nothing you could get out of sueing me. Oh well.
Authors Note: Yeah...The last chapter was supposed to come out a week ago. But as I said in the last chapter, ff.net is being mean and won't let me update anything. So, I decided that since you've all been tortured by not reading my work (yeah, right) I'd just post two chapters. So here is Chapter 11. I hope you like it.

Chapter 11- The Talk
Since Harry had arranged a talk time with Draco in his office, that gave him a lot of time to think. Now he knew he'd need something good to start apologizing with. In the end, he settled for humiliating himself in front of everyone in Hogwarts by singing a love song to Draco.
About halfway through dinner, Harry stood up and went to the middle of the room and called for everyone's attention.
"I would like to apologize to two people in this room, who for now will remain anonymous. I've hurt them very badly emotionally and I don't know if they can ever forgive me. But, this is my pathetic attempt at an apology," Harry said.
The lights dimmed, music began playing somewhere, and the house ghosts joined Harry in the middle of the room.
Harry took a deep breath and plunged right into the lyrics.
"It not that I can't live without you. It's just that I don't even want to try. Every night I dream about you. Ever since the day I said goodbye. If I wasn't such a fool Right now I'd be holding you There's nothing that I wouldn't do. Baby if I only knew."
The ghosts behind Harry started a slow dance routine and joined in on the chorus.
"The words to say the road to take To find a way back to your heart. What can I do to get to you And find a way back to your heart."
All the students who had seen Harry and Draco's make out session in his classroom knew who he was singing to. The boys looked shocked and the girls all started crying.
"I don't know how it got so crazy. But I'll do anything to set things right. 'Cause you're love is so amazing. Baby you're the best thing in my life.
"Let me prove my love is real. And make you feel the way I feel. I promise I would give the world. If only you would tell me."
Harry repeated the chorus along with the ghosts and started to dance along with them.
"The words to say the road to take To find a way back to your heart. What can I do to get to you And find a way back to your heart."
"Give me one more chance. Give my love to you. 'Cause no on on this earth Love you like I do. Tell me."
"The words to say the road to take To find a way back to your heart. What can I do to get to you And find a way back to your heart."
"I turn back time to make you mine And find a way back to your heart. I beg and plead, fall to my knees To find a way back to your heart."
Harry got down on his knees and placed a hand over his heart.
"Back to your, heart," He finished making eye contact with Draco. Unshed tears were shining in Draco's eyes. Jordan was hugging him and generally looking thrilled at the public apology. Almost everyone in the hall gave Harry a standing ovation. He took a bow and left the room.
Harry sat in his office twitching nervously. Draco and Jordan would be arriving soon. He hoped that if his daughter didn't already hate him, she wouldn't by the end of the conversation. He took a deep calming breath and prayed everything would go all right. He conjured a few comfortable chairs and summoned a house elf to bring some drinks and light snacks that probably wouldn't be touched anyway. Punctual as ever, Draco and Jordan walked into his office at 8:00.
"Thank you both for sparing your time to talk to me," Harry uttered quietly.
Draco smirked. "You'd think you'd be a little calmer about my reaction at least considering that apology you just gave, and the fact that I told you I forgave you earlier today."
Harry smiled a little. "Yeah. I suppose you're right." He thought briefly about his and Draco's little make out session in his classroom. "Well, where should we start?"
"How about the beginning?" Draco suggestion calmly.
"Oh. Right. When I did the stupidest thing in my life and broke up with you, there was a reason. I did it because I was going away for an undeterminable amount of time. At the time, I thought I was doing the right thing. You know, setting you free and trying to let you find someone else," Harry said.
"Why were you leaving in the first place?" Jordan asked.
"Some specifically dangerous death eaters managed to leave the country. The ministry asked me if I was interested in going after them, being that Bellatrix Lestrange was among them," Harry said.
Comprehension dawned in Draco's eyes while Jordan just looked confused. "Who's Bellatrix Lestrange?" She asked.
"A death eater that killed my god father. The only thing I've ever had that was close to a parent," Harry answered in a slightly choked voice.
"Okay. That part I understand...but it took you 15 years?" Draco asked.
"No. Actually 5. I spent most of the next 5 years trying to figure out where the hell I was. I couldn't do simple spells. I was magically drained. After I figured out where I was and had my magical abilities back, I just stayed away. Again, at the time, I thought I was doing what was best for everyone. Including me. You know how the press more or less control what I can and can't do in my life...so I went somewhere where no on knew me.
"I never meant to hurt you Draco. And Jordan, I've missed you growing up, but if you'd like to try to be something like a family I'd love to try. But if you'd rather not, I don't blame you. Personally I'd like t bash my head against a few walls about now," Harry said.
Jordan smiled. "We have 14 years to catch up on then. That includes presents from all missed holidays! And dad, start dating him again. I want a whole family," Jordan said.
Draco looked at her in surprise, his mouth hanging open. Harry too, looked shocked.
"Oh come off it. You look like you want nothing more than to jump each other right now," Jordan said standing up. She hugged Harry, then hugged Draco and gave him a goodnight kiss and left them alone.
"That went surprisingly well," Harry said still in mild shock.
"Shut up and so as our commander says," Draco said sitting down on Harry's lap and kissing him on the lips lightly.
A/N: Again, sorry for the long time delay. I hope this chapter makes somebody happy. As one reviewer pointed out, things are coming to a close. There is only one chapter left after this one and it pretty much exists to wrap up the story. At least you won't be disappointed at the length of that one.
The song used in the chapter was "Back To Your Heart" by the Backstreet Boys. I don't own them either.
REVIEW! The button is down there somewhere. You know you want to say something to me!
