Draco Malfoy slowly walked down the dimly lit street, aware that the small kids had problems following his wide steps.
"I am becoming a spy for the order!"
"Be careful!"
"I am always careful!"
"Be extra careful!"
"Why?"
"I am pregnant!"
Draco Malfoy felt something he had never felt in his entire 18 years. He felt whole!
"You are aware that you are mine now?"
"I am no ones property!"
"You carry my heir and that means you two are my responsibility. I have to take care of you now."
It never occurred to him, that the child might not be his!
"I know. I never doubted you will!"
He smiled. His first real smile since he was a child.
Now he knew what to say. The right thing! The feeling he wasn't able to voice, because he wasn't sure of it. Now he had proof.
"I love you!"
"I'm just glad you discovered that before I have to marry Krum!"
A passionate snogging session followed.
When Blake actually had the courage to ask, where they were heading to, he simply answered:
"The graveyard"
There was no trace of malice in his voice anymore. He just sounded tired and broken, so that Dragan and Blake simply complied, feeling respect and a lot of affiliation towards their father.
He hadn't visited Her grave yet, even though it was over a week now that she was dead.
He stood alone in front of the white marble tombstone. The kids sat under a tree not far away from him.
He sighted and looked down.
"It is my entire fault that you are dead." He mumbled.
"If I had been faster to fight at your side, If I had killed Lucius while I had the opportunity. There are so many 'Ifs'… but it's too late now. You are dead."
Salty tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Just that you know," he choked, "if I had the chance to be with you all over again, I would do everything for it and I don't regret any second of our time together!"
He drew a pure sparkling white rose out of the air.
Ginni Potter watched the scene before her. She had followed the Malfoys and now stood hidden under her husbands invisible cloak, mere meters away from the lonely Draco Malfoy.
She listened to him saying quietly: "I love you forever!"
He took a white rose, kissed it softly and then placed it gently in front of the tombstone.
Then she saw him smile.
She saw Draco the-egoistical-bastard Malfoy, feared, ice-cold Slytherin Prince smile; It was the first time that she ever saw him smile, even though it was a sad smile, and Ginni Potter believed him.
Draco turned around and quickly made his way towards his children.
They disapperated with a PLOP and left Ginni alone to muse about what she had just witnessed.
There was only one constant thought that filled her mind: He really did love her
"Mother! We are home!"
And the next second Narcissa Malfoy rushed down the big marble staircase, that dominated the round hall they had apperated to.
"Oh, my, you three look like little angels, just like Draco in your age! Merlin, you must be really exhausted and tired, so it is better we get you to rest and make you feel like home!"
She chattered and when she clapped, three houseelves appeared and took Dragan, Blake and Medea up the stairs.
When they were out of sight, her smile dropped and she looked concerned.
"Was it hard?"
"You have no idea Mother!"
"Go refresh yourself and then come up to my parlor, so we can talk."
The End
