At Harry and Ginny's a few hours later. "Harry, what's bothering you?" Ginny asked from the bed. Harry poked his head out of the bathroom. "C'mon, tell me." Harry sighed and took his toothbrush out of his mouth.

"It's everything that's happened with Elian and Draco. He told me why he left her and the kids… and frankly it really pisses me off." Harry replied, turning off the bathroom light and walking to his bed. "He said that he and Kat have been having an affair for the past few months and Kat just recently found out that she's pregnant." Ginny gasped.

"How could Draco do that? What was going through his mind?" Ginny asked, closing her midnight blue eyes sadly. "Does Elian know any of this?" Harry shook his head. "Do you think we should tell her?" Harry shook his head again. "But, Harry-"

"But, nothing Gin. It would kill my sister if she found this out. Draco's not even sure that Kat's baby is his… so maybe there's hope." Harry sighed heavily as he climbed into bed next to Ginny. "Promise me, Virginia. Promise you won't tell Elian any part of what I've just told you." Ginny nodded. "Good, now let's get some sleep. I've got to go back to see Draco tomorrow." Ginny turned off the lights then lay down and snuggled close to Harry.

"Why do you have to go see him?" Ginny asked curiously. Harry cleared his throat. "Harry?" Harry sighed deeply.

"We're taking Kat to get a DNA test. If it is his kid than he'll stay with Kat if not I think he'll go back to Elian. Only thing there is… will she take him back?" Harry said, pulling Ginny closer to him and kissed her deeply.

Elian was laying awake in her bed, tears streaming down her face. 'Draco…. Why did you have to go? I'm nothing without you.' she thought as she hugged Draco's pillow tightly to her chest. 'Please just come home… if not for me at least for Charlotte and Aron.' She eventually cried herself to sleep.

Sometimes I wake up crying at night

Sometimes I scream out your name

What right does she have to take your heart away

When for so long you were mine

The next morning, Elian awoke to a loud tapping on her bedroom window. She blinked furiously trying to focus her eyes. She then slowly pulled back the blankets covering her and placed her feet on the floor and walked sleepily over to the window. "I'm coming… I'm coming…" She mumbled as she opened the window, she gasped when Draco's owl Ryu flew in. "Ryu? What are you doing here?" Ryu landed on the dresser and held out his leg. Elian rushed over to him and quickly untied the letter, Ryu chirped happily and flew down to Elian's shoulder. "I'm happy to see you too." Elian ripped open the envelope and pulled out the letter, which read 'Elian, please forgive me for everything I've done… and for what I'm about to tell you. For the past three months, I have been cheating on you and I may have gotten this girl pregnant. Today Harry and I are going with her to take a DNA test. If it turns out that she is not carrying my child, will you allow me to come home? Send your reply with Ryu. Yours always and forever more, Draco Aron Malfoy.' Elian fell to her knees and started crying uncontrollably.

Ryu gently clipped Elian's ear with his beak, she lifted her hand to gently stroke his head. "Ryu, take this back to him." Elian said as she slipped off her wedding and engagement rings, then put them in an envelope, sealed it and gave it to Ryu. "Bye, Dragon." Elian whispered as Ryu flew back out the bedroom window, she then quickly rushed out of her bedroom upon hearing Aron crying. "Mommy's coming, Aron!" When Elian entered Aron's room she found him suspended above his crib.

"Mommy…. I want my mommy!" he cried. Elian rushed over to his crib and snatched him out of the air. "Mommy…. Mommy……" Aron continued to cry, as Elian gently rubbed his back in small circular movements.

"Mommy's here, Aron. I'm not going anywhere." She whispered softly to her son. Charlotte walked into the room, rubbing her eyes and yawning. "Charlotte, sweetie, can you bring me a fresh diaper for your brother, please?" Charlotte nodded and walked over to Aron's dresser, then walked back to her mother with the diaper.

"Mommy, did daddy come home last night?" Charlotte asked, causing her mother's eyes to fill with tears.

"No, honey. He didn't, he's staying with a friend and probably won't be back for a while." Elian said as she began to take of Aron's diaper and put the fresh on one him. "Charlotte, would you like to stay with your Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny for a little bit?" Charlotte nodded excitedly, forgetting momentarily about her father. "Okay, I'll let them know that you're coming. Go get ready and I'll take you after I get Aron cleaned up." Charlotte ran out of her brother's room and back to her own, squealing excitedly.

"Mommy, can I sway wifh Warry and Winny, too?" Aron asked, Elian nodded. "Yay!" Aron started giggling, which caused Elian to start laughing in spite of herself. About twenty minuets later, Elian threw Floo powder into her fire place and called out "Potter Manor!" Ginny looked u in surprise.

"Elian! What are you doing here?" she asked, Elian smacked her forehead. "Hey, don't do that… what's up?" Elian smiled, then sighed deeply.

"More than you know… sorry I was going to owl you to tell you we were coming. Could you keep these two for awhile?" Elian replied. Ginny nodded and scooped Charlotte into her arms, causing the little girl to giggle. "I'm gonna go put Aron down in the spare bedroom." Elian walked down the hall and entered the first door she came to.

"Aunt Ginny, where's Uncle Harry?" Charlotte asked looking around for Harry. Ginny looked down the hall nervously. "Well?" Ginny cleared her throat and smiled.

"He's with your Uncle Ron, playing Quidditch." Ginny lied quickly, knowing Elian wouldn't want Charlotte to know Harry was really with Draco. "So, when he gets back we're all gonna go out to dinner, how does that sound?" Charlotte nodded as Elian waked back into the room.
