--In Memory of Harry Potter--

Author's Notes: THANK YOU everyone who reviewed, you guys keep me writing.


"Harry Potter" Jessica said sadly, the name echoing through the now deadly silent tunnel. A strange silence followed as both men seemed to process this piece of information. Suddenly Draco's jaw dropped.

"Are you serious?!?"

"No," Jessica said as though it was obvious "Sirius is my Godfather" Jessica said, "I don't really understand how you could mix that up, cause Sirius is a boy and I'm a girl, that's just silly..."

Draco gave Harry an exasperated look, while Harry doubled over laughing at both the use of the pun and the sincerity that danced in her eyes as she looked at Malfoy like he was a complete idiot. Draco sighed, "She's a prat, just like her Father" Draco muttered glaring at Harry, who didn't even do Draco the curtesy of looking slightly disheveled by the comment, laughed harder.

"You knew my daddy!" Jessica exclaimed looking straight at Draco with wide eyes.

"Oh, Yes, but James was closer to your father than I was" Draco said grinning widely. He had always wanted give away Harry's secret after all, and if he couldn't have make that come true, this was the next best thing. "But Harry and I fought side by side in the war" He said.

The attention that Draco was receiving from Jessica set him off on an over dramatic, and over romanticised version of the tale of Harry Potter and the final battle. Draco was just finishing when they reached the entrance to the staff room. "And no one knows what happened to Harry Potter or Voldemort that night" He said ending the story as dramatically as it started.

"Yes they do! He died, they both died!!" Jessica exclaimed as she and Harry entered the staff room. The little girl who had been so caught up in the stories now had tears running down her cheeks.

"Idiot" Harry muttered to Malfoy who had vanished when Jessica started crying. Harry opened his mouth to say something when he was interrupted by the group of people present in the staff room. He frowned as he suddenly found the reason behind Malfoy's disappearance.

"Jessica!! I was so worried!! Oh God I heard you were in Hogsmede, I thought you'd been hurt" Hermione cried throwing her arms around Jessica holding on to her desperately as though she had thought she was never going to see her daughter again.

It was only seconds before everyone else who was present in the room moved their attention from Jessica to Harry and suddenly the boy who lived had four wands pointing directly at him, the owners of which were all glaring at him as though they wished no less than a painful death for him.

"Err..." Harry said carefully. Out of all the people who had their wands directed at him he was probably most frightened of his old best friend. He knew how protective Ron was of Hermione and could imagine how he would treat anyone who hurt Jessica. After Ron he was going to have to go with Sirius, then Snape, and Remus, well it wasn't a full moon, but still, Harry didn't like to think about the consequences of saying or doing the wrong thing right now.

"How dare you try to hand her over to the death eaters" Remus growled his eyes alight with rage.

"I told you he was a death eater" Snape sneered in a very snake like fashion. Harry swallowed, and decided to look away from the potion's master. Rather than finding the laughing eyes of Malfoy, which would have been quite welcome at this time, he found his godfather who was glaring at Harry silently waiting for Harry to make the first move. Harry decided that Sirius was probably the safest after he turned his attention to Ron, Ron looked no less than ready to kill Harry, actually, as Harry realised with less than a second to spare, Ron was going to kill him, well he would have had Jessica not threw herself directly in the path of the spell.

Thankfully, while Ron didn't have enough time to stop the spell, Harry had just enough time to pull both himself and Jessica out of the way. Both he and Jessica hit the ground with a thump as the spell hit the wall behind them making a huge racket as the old stone wall crashed to the ground in a pile of dust and rubble. Harry choked on the dust as he managed to pull himself and Jessica of the floor and into the hall outside of the room.

"Brilliant" Harry muttered as he turned to Ron, "What happened to innocent till proven guilty, or do you just blow up anything that makes your life difficult" Harry snapped. Had he thought about it, he probably wouldn't have been so fast to insult his best friend, but he had just nearly been blown up, and then hit with a brick wall, not to mention the death eaters he had had to battle to get Jessica safely back to the castle.

Ron just glared at Harry while he helped Snape who had been hit with one of the larger rocks that had been thrown into the air by the spell.

Harry looked down at his daughter who was staring at what had been the staff room with wide eyes. "Never, do that again" Harry said to Jessica, the nod of her head the only response.

"Stupid, pathetic, Ron was that really necessary" Remus cursed as he brought around Snape.

"You were a little, over enthusiastic" Sirius said

"Stupid is the word Sirius, stupid, Ron that was really stupid" Hermione said angrily as she picked up Jessica.

As the dust settled Harry had a good look into the staff room. "At least it's reparable" Harry said after a moments thought. The situation had suddenly seemed like they were all working together again but as Harry looked at his group of friends he realised that he had just made things even more confusing.

While everyone looked as though they had something to say it was Sirius who spoke first. "Jessica, what, in the name of Merlin, were you doing?" he asked carefully

"You can't hurt him!" She cried suddenly snapping out of the dazed state she had been in.

"Oh, and why not?" Remus asked carefully he was frowning.

"Yes why bloody not" Harry heard a little voice whisper in his ear. He sighed inwardly knowing that Malfoy had returned and was now floating behind him.

"Because, he saved my life!" She said in a way that made her seem a lot more like a child than she had sounded only a second before hand.

"What?!?!" all of them cried in unison

Then they all looked at Harry who had to admit he was slightly disappointed that they had all though he had been ready to hand over Jessica Potter to Voldemort.

"I am disgusted at your lack of trust in people. I know these are dark times but really, she's only a child Harry said looking up at them angrily

"Do you even know who she is?" Ron asked dangerously.

"Yes, she's the daughter of Harry Potter" Harry said shrugging

Remus sighed, "That means Malfoy's back"

"What?" Harry, well James asked knowing already that Malfoy was not going to like what was said next.

"Malfoy, he became a death eater after Harry died" Hermione said quietly

"Harry was the only one that he held any sort of respect for, I suppose him going back to Voldemort was the obvious thing for him to have done" Ron said

"I'm not saying a word, I still don't believe that" Sirius said

Harry stood there with his mouth open. "Malfoy... death eater..." Then he lost it laughing. Malfoy on the other hand who was still invisible behind Harry was fuming.

"What's so funny." Ron asked darkly. It was blankly obvious that he could not find anything about Draco Malfoy returning to the Dark Lord with whatever secrets of the Order that he may have possessed

"I'm pretty sure Malfoy would have a hard time trying to rejoin Voldemort" Harry said still laughing.

"funny, real funny" Malfoy scowled behind him

"Whatever makes you think that Malfoy wouldn't I think you better forget it, he's been seen on several occasions with the death eaters" Ron sighed,

"Well there's a clue, how many death eaters actually let you see them" Both Snape and Sirius looked up at this comment but neither said anything. "Oh well, believe what you want, if your sure you don't want to kill me tonight, I'm going to bed..." Harry said then he turned to leave but was stopped by Severus.

"I wonder, before you leave, if you could explain to us how you know Mr Malfoy, and how you know that he would not be able to rejoin the dark lord?"

Harry frowned and turned back to the others who were now all waiting patiently for him to answer. "I met Mr Malfoy during the early stages of the war and I was in contact with him and Mr Potter regularly. After the final battle I travelled extensively looking for my sister whom I lost during a attack years ago, during that time I heard a number of rumours, one in particular that any drunk death eater would pass on was that Malfoy gave his own life to give Harry Potter the chance to defeat Voldemort" James explained letting his words sink in.

"And you believe this rumour?" Sirius asked

"All I know is that the last time I met up with the two, Harry was worried about something big happening and Draco said that there was little that could be done and that no matter what was to come, Draco would stand beside him."

"That couldn't have been long before the final battle" Remus said

Ron frowned, "It's possible I suppose, Draco and Harry were close at the end... Anyway thank you for telling us, it will give us something to discuss next..."

Harry just nodded pretending to let Ron's reference to the next Order meeting slide, then left the staff room and headed towards his own room.

-o-

"It has to be father. He's showing me as an enemy and making it so the ministry has reason not to get along with the order ." Malfoy growled

"It would be easy enough to do, assuming that they have your body." Harry replied thinking over what he knew.

"That's disgusting" Malfoy noted

"Well you did die in Voldemort's favorite graveyard" Harry said grinning as he twisted Malfoy's favorite quote against him.

"Oh yes, the one you know so well that you can tell me the names on all the tombstones."

"Not all of them, just the ones that I've been slammed into, hidden behind, broken or destroyed, I plan on replacing them all one day."

"Oh, I'm sorry, you are not a complete guru on the graveyard then, you know just enough to teach it to a class" Malfoy said rolling his eyes

"Anyway, if they have your body, polyjuice would be simple to make" Harry said

"It wouldn't work, I'm not alive. - and what's with you and the workings of polyjuice" Malfoy said suspiciously

"Why does everyone forget that hair is already dead." Harry noted conveniently dropping the subject of his knowledge of the Polyjuice potion. He would tell him one day, but not until it could be properly appreciated.

"Then why does it grow" Malfoy retaliated stupidly

Harry shook his head, "Sometimes I worry about you Draco." He said laid back onto his bed and closed his eyes.

Draco sighed. "Why do the living have to sleep all the bloody time, you know you waste half your life doing that"

"Don't worry, I'll make up for it when I'm dead" Harry grinned, then using magic he willed the lights to go out and after hearing Malfoy leave the room, he fell asleep.
