Chapter: 3
"So ... the next time I saw her was at a quiditch match. It was March I think. She was a chaser for Gryffindor. She looked great in her robes and I just gave her one of my cocky smiles. She was unfazed by it, which made me irate because most people would have been unnerved you know. Not her that is for sure. She had her hair back in a ponytail. Potter had his arm around her waist yet she didn't look to happy about that."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Captains shake hands!" Madame Hooch yelled through the roars of the crowd.
Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy shook hands. Each was trying to smash the others hand in his. Draco looked over Potter's shoulder and caught her eye. She made a funny face at him, which made him smile. She looked shocked then smiled too. After all, it wasn't every day that Malfoy would smile.
"Ready to lose Potter?" Draco said in a sneer.
"I don't have to worry to much about that Ferret I am better then you!"
"Players mount your brooms!" the whistle was blown, and the players took off.
Draco circled around the field going in the opposite direction as Harry. After an hour, the score was tied 110 to 110. Draco had almost caught the snitch twice but both times, he was nearly hit by a bludger.
Draco was going into a dive for the snitch. Harry was right behind him when he heard the Gryffindor side all scream. He looked to his left and saw her falling. He stopped dead. Potter looked at him and kept going having not seen her falling fast to the hard ground more then 75 feet bellow her. Draco pulled out his wand and thinking quickly he decided on a Freezing Charm. Instead of making her freeze in place, she just slowed down but not slow enough because when she hit the ground there was a sickening crunch. Harry caught the snitch and touched down. Draco flew over toward her and touched down beside her. She was pale and looked frightened as she was gripping her left leg. Draco moved her hand away and looked at her leg. The bone was sticking out and was obviously broken.
"Hey are you alright? I think your leg is broken. Do you need help up to the hospital wing?" Draco asked her.
"Yeah that would be nice if you could walk me up. Umm... did I make that last goal by chance?" She asked him.
He smiled at her and answered, "Yes you did and just for the record my team lost the game because I was making sure you didn't get killed."
She smiled and had a slight blush on her face.
They trudged up to the castle still in the quiditch robes. She was in a lot of pain and she kept mumbling. Draco thought of a way to distract her from the pain.
"So you like lemon quills. What other candy do you like?" He asked her.
"That's about all I like. How about you?"
"Same for me. Though my mum will send me some chocolate every now and then."
"My mum does that too. For Christmas and Easter."
"You're in fifth year right?" Draco asked her. She nodded. "So you haven't had the meeting with your head of house yet? Do you know what you want to do yet?"
"No we haven't had the meeting. I think it is after Easter. I was thinking about being an auror or maybe a journalist for the daily prophet." She said after a moment or two.
"An auror or a writer? Those are very different things." He said with a small smile on his face. She stuck her chin up in defense.
"Well I want to be an auror to help get rid of evil but my real passion is for writing. I cannot help but love words. The way the flow together and make sense but by themselves are only just words. You know?"
"You're lucky. You have a passion must people twice your age don't even have one." He said seriously. They just reached the great hall doors. Draco opened them and helped her inside.
"So Draco what is your passion?"
"My passion? I try not to have a passion. Life seems to be against me. I guess if I were to have a passion it would be ... you uh won't tell anyone right?"
"I won't tell anyone Draco."
"Well I was thinking maybe I would start my own Magic School. I like younger kids and I can handle them fairly well. Its part of my charm you know?" he said with a smirk that earned him a playful smack in the arm.
"Draco you don't have charm. People are just stunned that you look like an angel but act like a devil!" she said while laughing. Draco beamed down at her. "You just said I looked like an angel! What till I tell your friends!"
"Hey! But I also said you act like the devil! You can't tell them I promise I wouldn't tell anyone your secret." She started to pout.
"I was kidding. Here we are. I'm going to leave you know. Owl me later to let me know your ok." And he turned and left before she could respond.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Hmm... Draco would your wife happen to be..."
There was a knock on the door. Professor McGonagall came in closely following her were three small children.
"Daddy!" yelled one of the children and before he knew it, Draco had three small children clinging onto him for dear life. Draco patted their heads, hugged, and kissed them.
"These are your children Draco?" McGonagall sounded very shocked.
"Yes they are and aren't they gorgeous!" he beamed down at his children.
Dumbledore chuckled. Then he looked closely at Draco's kids and slowly it made sense. Of course, she had disappeared around the same time as Draco had. Albus had known they had formed a type of friendship towards their end of schooling. Wyatt, the four-year-old boy, had dirty blonde hair that was a little long but still short. He had gray stormy eyes like his father. He had a sprinkle of freckles across his cheeks and his slightly upturned nose. He had an easy friendly smile that was much like his mother's own smile now that Albus thought of it. His gaze moved over to one of the girls. She had long strawberry blond hair that had a slight wave to it. She too had gray eyes. She did not have the freckles but her nose was slightly turned up too. She had a necklace on that had a music note on it. She must be Shira. And that other girl looked identical to Shira so that would mean she was Cardea. She also was wearing a necklace that had a charm of a raising sun. It was amazing how these kids got the best of both parents.
"Wyatt, Shira, and Cardea I would like you to meet Albus Dumbledore. Professor these are my kids." Draco said with a huge smile.
"Well how do you lot do?" He said with a smile.
"Very well! Thanks!" Said Wyatt.
"Hi! Yeah well!" Shira and Cardea said. Both waving their hands to say hi.
Minerva was trying to hide her laughter when it hit her. She gasped. It all made sense now. And that would be why he has come back to the magic world.
"Oh my are they... Draco is their mother..."
"So ... the next time I saw her was at a quiditch match. It was March I think. She was a chaser for Gryffindor. She looked great in her robes and I just gave her one of my cocky smiles.
