Jade paled and felt like she was going to drop dead because she was so scared. She suddenly felt all her worries fade away when she felt Draco squeeze her arm, letting her know that he was there for her.

"What do you want?" Jade asked seeing his eyes flash with anger but it quickly left.

"I wanted to see my daughter. It's been a while since I ever saw my daughter. I want to see her now." Harry said.

"You saw her, now leave." Ron said grabbing Harry's arm but Jade stopped him.

"Give your wand to Ron." Jade said and Harry nodded giving Ron his wand. "Draco, please check him for any weapons and take him to the living room." Jade said and Draco nodded as they left.

"Hermione, I want this whole area to be non-apparative." Jade said.

"I'm on my way." Hermione said tapping her wand.

"Hey baby, listen to me. Daddy wants to talk to you so talk to him. Don't go anywhere with him if he asks okay? And if he gives you any candy or food or toys or any gifts, do not open them until Mummy sees them all right?" Jade asked and Zaara nodded. Jade knew Zaara didn't know what was going on but she saw that she was afraid. Jade took Zaara to the living room and saw Harry sitting there looking at Jade and Zaara.

"Go on sweetie." Jade said and Zaara walked forward.

"Mummy." Zaara squeaked and Jade nodded. Zaara walked slowly and Harry reached to hold his daughter in his arms.

"Hey Zaara." he said placing her on his lap. Zaara didn't respond but looked at Draco and Jade. "How have you been? It's been a long time since you've seen your Daddy." he said and Zaara nodded, remembering the time he hit her and almost killed her mother. "Do you miss me?" he asked softly.

"No." she said stunning everyone.

"Why not?" Harry asked his voice breaking along with his heart.

"You almost killed my MUMMY! You ALWAYS hit her! You hit me too! I don't like you." Zaara said with a firm voice. Harry looked stumped. He couldn't say anything because she was right.

"I'm sorry." he said kissing her cheek.

"Why did you always hit Mummy? Don't you love her?" Zaara asked and Jade turned breaking into tears. Hermione shook her head comforting Jade in her arms.

"I do…I still do. Tell Mummy that I loved her, I still love her and I'll always love her. It's just I have shown my love in a different way and I promise never to do that again. I love you both and I don't want to lose you again." Harry said looking up at Jade who didn't buy it at all.

He was lying right to his daughter and luring the innocent and naïve child to believing he would never do it again, only this time, he was luring the both of them to their doom.

"Are you sure? Can Draco stay with us? He's a really nice person Daddy! Did you know, he bought me so many toys! And then, Mummy and I bought him a dragon…and Draco said he liked it." Zaara said and Harry didn't smile but only nod.

"It seems to me, your Mummy found a new Daddy for you." Harry said and Jade stopped this.

"That's enough." Jade said walking to Zaara.

"No Mummy! Daddy loves us! He said he's sorry!" Zaara said and Jade was afraid it would lead to this.

"Zaara, listen to Mummy please?" Jade asked taking Zaara away.

"Jade listen…can I talk to you privately?" Harry asked grabbing her hand.

"NO." Jade, Hermione, Ron and Draco said together.

"We know what you want and you can't have it. Just leave and we'll see you tomorrow." Hermione said stepping up.

"Don't you have any shame? You know that Jade told us everything about you and you come here showing your face to us? After what you did to her in her apartment, in front of her own daughter? How fucking dare you? I trusted you Harry…and my sister kept quiet because of you, her daughter and for everyone else's happiness. She strangled her own happiness for you and you did this to her? You even have the nerve to come to the BURROW where we're waiting to kill you…and you come here trying to brainwash Zaara." Ron said.

"Listen Ron, I came here for my daughter and Jade. I love the both them and I'm here to ask for forgiveness because I know I did some wrong things in the past." he said and Jade snorted.

"Like shave off my head and my eyebrows. How wrong…" Jade said shaking her head.

"Jade…" Harry said and Jade looked him in the eye.

"Will you hit me now? Why don't you? You know…I wake up every day now without any sore bruises or broken bones and it feels great. The things you did to me Harry, it isn't enough to give any punishment back to you. You scarred me for life and this time, I'm not taking the bullshit anymore. Too bad if you came here for forgiveness because I'm not buying anything you're trying to sell. As you can see, my family and I aren't interested so leave before I call my brothers on you." Jade said pointing to the door.

"Oh and Draco didn't tell me but I know you threatened him so if that happens again…you'll have a dog's death." Jade said. Harry looked very restrained and he left looking mad. "By the way, you should be expecting divorce papers by the end of this week." Jade said handing him back his things. He walked off and apparated away.

"Merlin knows how tomorrow is going to pass." Jade said feeling Draco rubbing her back.

"As long as you have us…nothing will go wrong." Hermione said and Jade smiled.

In the evening, Jade and Draco went outside with Dean and Zaara as Ron and Hermione took a nap upstairs.

"You know what's amazing?" Jade asked eating smores with him and sharing them with Dean and Zaara.

"What?" Draco asked.

"The years that I've known you in Hogwarts, you were our nemesis and Harry was our best friend. I never knew that life would turn and I would start hating Harry and end up with you." Jade said seeing him agree with her.

"Same here. I just thought you were so calm and just sweet to hang around with and talk to. It was fun teasing you also, after the start of our 7th year but after what happened to you, you were completely depressed and quiet and that bubbly glow just vanished." he said.

"Yes…it did…all because of Harry." Jade said and he gave her a questioned look.

"Why?" he asked.

"I wanted to say I still feel stupid and embarrassed that I didn't listen to you because if I did, I would be so much happier." Jade said and Draco nudged her with his elbow.

"So you aren't happy with me?" he asked and Jade nodded and shook her head.

"No! I am insanely happy that you're here right now with me but what would life be like if you and I actually got together during that year." Jade said and he nodded.

"It probably would have happened because look at us now." he said and Jade giggled.

"What were your true feelings toward me during Hogwarts?" Jade asked leaning into him hearing him make a sound in his throat.

"I thought it was impossible to actually get to know you. I wasn't really into knowing anyone that year because my parents died and I had so much pressure of handling my father's business; inherit the family fortune and all of that. I wanted to focus on my studies but you kept popping up and one thing that really made me fond of you was when you said you were sorry about my parents. I've never forgotten that in 5 years and it made me realize that even if you were a Weasley you had a heart. Nobody actually came up to me to send their condolences because they were too scared to. So I had to say thank you." he said.

"Did you love your parents? Because I know you looked quite upset." Jade said and he wondered how to answer that.

"Well I could give a damn if my father died in any way but my mother…that woman died for her husband. I never told anyone this but people are under the misconception that the whole family was into the Dark Arts. My mother never wanted to be a part of my father and his Death Eater friends did but the Auror's arrested my father along with my mother because they suspected, if the husband did it, the wife was obviously involved. She was sent to jail with him and a few Death Eaters came and killed them to not spread any information. I only loved my mother in this world and she loved me also so when she died, I didn't know who to turn to because I had no one." he said and Jade looked at him painfully.

"That must be so hard…I can't imagine going through that." Jade said.

"I know…but you faced much more pain than I did that year." he said.

"We both lost a lot that year. I lost myself, my dignity and my baby boy." Jade said softly.

"I'm here if you want someone to talk to." he said holding her and Jade nodded taking the soles of her palms and wiping her tears with it.

"Well…you know Harry asked me out right?" Jade asked and Draco nodded.

"I was there." he said and Jade gasped. "I was on the tree or something but I saw everything and you said no because you see him as a brother." Draco said and Jade looked like she was thinking about something.

"Hmm…well I was right." Jade said.

"Of?" Draco asked.

"Well before I was raped, Harry was so rude with me. He used to call me Weasley and sulked whenever I was there because I rejected him but after I got raped, he turned completely soft and offered to take care of me and my child. We had gotten married but I can't understand what kind of a fool I was." Jade said shaking her head.

"I don't understand." Draco said.

"Harry raped me." Jade said looking at him. His eyes quickly darkened and Jade nodded with tears in her eyes. "He raped me and it took me years to realize it. He staged everything out. He wanted to get his revenge by trapping me and releasing his anger out on me. He did that obviously and then proposed to me because my mother and father said I could only keep my child if I got married. So Harry stepped up and everyone was happy because it was my best friend and my parents loved him as a son. At first I didn't want to because I saw Harry as my brother for six years and now as a husband…it was a little weird but I had to give in. We had gotten married and when we got back, I realized he went completely possessive and obsessive over me. Remember how he used to flare in anger whenever he saw you talking to me?" Jade asked and Draco nodded still in shock over the horrible news.

"He was so jealous whenever any guy came to talk to me and he suspected me of cheating on him. I don't know why but he particularly hated your guts. Ron said he trusted me even with a Malfoy but Harry couldn't stand even looking at you." Jade said and Draco smirked.

"Because I told him I had a better chance of getting you than he did." Draco said and Jade laughed.

"True…but on the day we were at the library and Harry violently grabbed me away from you, he almost strangled me and forbid me to ever talk to you." Jade said.

"Right and you came in the Kitchens to eat something and I tried everything to make you talk to me but you barely spoke." he said and Jade smiled remembering his sweet ways.

"That night was the night before my miscarriage and I blame Harry for it. He was waiting for me when I came back and he interrogated me as usual and he smelled your cologne on me and he hit me so hard that I fell." Jade said touching the left cheek which she remembered him hitting. Draco took her hand off her cheek and placed a tender kiss on it.

"I'm sorry." Draco said feeling bad that it was because of him she had gotten hit.

"No, it's not your fault. He always wanted a reason to hit me and when he didn't, he would make up his own excuses." Jade said seeing Dean and Zaara yawn and lie on their laps. "But he said he was sorry and we made up and the next day I see blood so when we go to Pomferey, she tells us that we had lost our baby. I always wondered why Harry cried and felt worse than I did but I understand now. He had his hard times during our marriage and I knew he loved me but he also hated me for not wanting him. He said he loved me over and over but I didn't feel that way for him. I never saw him in that light before but later on I got to see him as my husband and I felt something for him. I cared about him but he never trusted me." Jade said.

"And you had gotten pregnant again." he said pointing to Zaara and Jade nodded leaning down and kissing her daughters cheek.

"I did…Harry and I both felt bad about the miscarriage and he treated me so sweetly that I started to fall in love with him. I wanted him to have a baby of his own and we planned it. I had gotten pregnant and I never saw him so happy when I told him. I think he realized that if he didn't put me in any stress and hit me, that our baby would come out fine…so he waited for nine months. He put up with me for nine months and took care of me…loved me and when Zaara was out, my life was destined to hell. As soon as Zaara came, he grabbed Zaara from my hands and I was so used to his love that when I called him, he screamed at me with Zaara in his arms, and when Zaara cried he blamed me." Jade said and Draco silently listened not believing she went through all of this.

"Of all of those years studying and getting awards from Hogwarts, I was on my way to being a Healer but Harry stopped it. He said Zaara needed someone to take care of her and he forbid me to work. I wanted to be independent but he beat the shit out of me when I stood up for myself. So I stood quiet and he started to beat me mercilessly…but one thing that I can never forget is how he parted me from my daughter. He made me a stranger to my own daughter and she cried and cried because he deformed me completely." Jade said shaking from remembering and crying.

"What did he do?" Draco asked smoothing her hair out.

"We were at the market one day at Hogsmeade and that time I was so pretty because of my long hair, but also looked thin because Harry didn't give me any food. He starved me but it doesn't matter because a man approached me. He was trying to flirt around and trying to strike up a conversation and Harry came with Zaara in his hands. He left knowing that Harry was angry because he saw the look on my face and his. When we got home…Harry locked Zaara in her room and started to hit me. He took out a pair of scissors and cut ALL of my hair off…" Jade said covering her face.

"He cut it so short that later on, I had to cut the rest off. He also shaved off a portion of my eyebrows and I looked so hideous…that my daughter cried when she saw me. She didn't even let me hold her because she wanted to know where her Mum was. I was beaten when Zaara cried and Harry blamed me for all the problems. He took away my wand and made me work with my hands and with the toughest jobs. He never kept track of our anniversary, my birthday…just his and Zaara's. I was his servant and that was it. I had no love for five years and that was a horrible experience. He wouldn't even let me visit my family or let them visit me. All the letters that people sent me; he would keep them and never give them to me. I remember two days before Ginny got married that we went to go for a fitting and I came back with Zaara and told them that Ginny's wedding is coming up and she wanted me to one of her bridesmaids so he said I wasn't going and when I asked him why he said he doesn't want to pay for my dress or anything like that. I told him he didn't need to pay for anything, and that I would ask my brothers to pay for me so…I thought I was going to die that day. He paralyzed me that day, breaking all the bones in my body and making me completely immobilized. I was lying on the bed crying because I couldn't go to my own little sister's wedding but he said to take care of myself and he'll do me a favor and he'll take Zaara with him to Ginny's wedding. He told everyone I was sick and there was no use to get me because I couldn't come at all." Jade said seeing Draco look shocked.

"What happened after that?" he asked.

"Well…he called a Healer telling him that I fell off a tree. Whenever he beat me, he never healed me with any potions or medicines. I had to heal by time but I would still manage to keep the house clean, cook and manage Zaara. But that time I couldn't move at all so who else would do it? I was healed and that's how my years passed. Silently, taking in everything and growing my daughter up by getting kicked in the arse. I never had the time to take care of myself or my image. I grew out my hair thankfully but I was so thin…it was ridiculous." Jade said.

"Then how and when did you think to leave him?" Draco asked.

"I found letters from his mistress and I felt crushed that he cheated on me and also gifted her with the things he bought me like diamond necklaces and earrings and gowns…all sorts of things. He wouldn't even let me wear make up! But that day I confronted him and I knew he was going to get me but I had my wand and one thing that actually caught me off guard was that he held a knife against our own daughter and threatened to kill her. But I managed to petrify him and I ran away with Zaara to Herm and Ron's house." Jade said.

"You told them everything?" Draco asked and Jade nodded.

"They know everything. I told my family…Ginny and they were devastated and so waiting to kill him but I made them swear on me that they wouldn't. He's my husband and I'm human. So what if he did horrible things to me, it doesn't mean that I'll stoop to his level. I filed a case against him to send him to Azkaban because he is a danger for my daughter. He'll also take my life away and I want Zaara to grow up with a mother. I honestly never thought I would find happiness or someone to love because I was so busy with Zaara and she's a handful." Jade said stroking Zaara's hair.

"I really respect you for going through so much but not letting yourself fall weak in front of your daughter. You don't even badmouth her father…" Draco trailed off.

"Remember our fight about her father? She's very touchy about having both mother and father…she's a child so how will I explain to her that Daddy does this to her Mummy?" Jade asked. Draco smiled remembering a certain incident that never happened in front of Jade as Draco and Zaara were on the bed sleeping.

"Draco?" Zaara asked and Draco hummed placing a hand on her head as she was lying on his chest.

"Will you be my new Daddy?" she asked and caught Draco off guard.

"Sweetie…that's a difficult question." he said.

"What's diffucut?" Zaara asked and Draco smiled.

"Hard…it's a hard question. I'll be your best friend forever but I don't know about a new Daddy." Draco said feeling uncomfortable.

"Okay…" she said falling asleep.

"Draco?" Jade asked breaking him from his thoughts.

"Sorry." he said and she smiled snuggling into him.

"What were you thinking about?" she asked.

"Zaara…after all she's been through…." he said and Jade nodded.

"Yeah…I hate the situation she's growing up in. But I'm fighting through it." Jade said and he held her hand.

"And I'm with you." he said.

"I know." Jade said kissing him. They sat there silently until they heard Ginny come back and yell for them to come inside.

"Zaara and Dean sleeping on us." Jade giggled.

"Oh…I can get used to this." he said picking Zaara up. Jade smiled feeling Dean as light as a feather and he wrapped his arms around her muttering 'Ninjas' under his breath. They walked back into the house and saw Ginny, Jay, Molly and Arthur talking to Hermione and Ron.

"What were you two doing outside?" Ginny asked hugging Jade.

"Isn't it obvious?" Ron asked getting slapped.

"In front of children?" Jade said taking Dean upstairs as Draco followed her.

"Don't get too caught up upstairs! We need to talk!" Hermione said, giggling.

Jade and Draco walked to Jade's room and Jade placed Dean on the bed and Draco placed Zaara right next to him.

"They'll fall off the bed if we don't put the pillows around them. Zaara loves hugging them and me while she's sleeping." Jade said seeing Draco smile. "Let's go." Jade said in the dark.

"Where are you going?" he whispered pulling her closer to him.

"Downstairs." Jade said her eyes moving back and forth as if she was reading him. Draco placed a soft kiss on her lips and trailed downwards to her neck. They slowly backed up and he pressed her against a wall gently.

"Am I hurting you?" he asked while kissing her.

They heard Dean whimper in his sleep and open his eyes, looking around, drunk with sleep before going back to sleep again.

"Let's go before we wake them up." Jade said feeling his hand on hers.

"Well see, they're back in…15 minutes!" Ron said checking the time.

"Ron…stop it." Molly warned.

"So how was the visit to Bill and Fleur's house, Mum and Dad?" Jade asked sitting next to Draco.

"Oh it was beautiful." Molly gushed.

"It was nice but I heard that Harry came today?" Arthur asked and Jade nodded.

"It went well." Jade said sitting back and fiddling around with her fingers.

"What do you mean it went well? You didn't kill him did you?" Molly asked.

"No mother…why would we kill him?" Jade asked sarcastically.

"Not like I care or anything. I was wondering if you left any living pieces for me." Molly said and everyone laughed.

"No but Draco went to the Ministry today. Tell them." Jade said lightly poking him in the ribs.

"Tell us Draco." Molly said smiling at him.

"Well it's tomorrow at 12 and I want everyone to be there." he said as everyone nodded.

After dinner, everyone got ready to go to sleep. Jade tucked in Zaara and took a shower. She had a towel wrapped around her when she stepped out and she put her reading glasses on to look through a few letters that her friends and co-workers sent from St. Margins.

"So many bills." Jade said said to herself as she went through the letters.

"Well…isn't someone going to have trouble sleeping tonight?" Draco said from the door. Jade jumped and turned around seeing him look her up and down.

"You should see a Healer about that then." Jade said crossing her arms.

"I thought that's what I came here for. Catch up, weasel…you can be so slow sometimes." He said. Jade smirked walking up to him. She pulled him in and closed the door shut behind him. Draco looked at her fascinated yet curious of what she was going to do. She pushed him back as his back pressed the door and she pressed up on him.

"Why did you grace me with your presence now?" Jade asked as he hugged her. "I wanted to talk to you, so when you're dressed, we can talk." he said nuzzling his nose against her neck.

"Talk?" Jade asked tiptoeing to kiss his neck.

"Mmm…if you want…we can talk here." he said and Jade giggled as her towel started to slip off.

"My towels going to fall." she said holding on to her towel.

"So let it." Draco said tugging it lightly.

"Draco." Jade warned and he smirked.

"I'll see you when you're fully dressed. Okay?" he asked kissing her.

"Thank you for being a gentleman." Jade said smiling as he opened the door and left.

The door closed and Jade changed into a T-shirt and shorts. Her hair was still damp from the shower but she knew it drove Draco insane. Jade knocked on the door and Draco opened it.

"Is Zaara asleep?" he asked and Jade walked in nodding.

"Closed her lights and all…yes?" Jade asked turning to him.

"Sit." he said and she sat. Draco lied down on his bed and brought Jade with him. Jade giggled as she was on top of him and she felt him encircle her waist and rub her back.

"So?" Jade asked feeling herself melt into him.

"Just this." he said sighing and loving her with him.

"Thankfully." Jade said smiling and wrapping a leg around his waist. She listened to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat and loved it thinking she wouldn't be at anywhere but here. Jade kissed his chest and she looked up seeing him look up at the ceiling as if he was trying to think of something.

"What's on your mind?" Jade asked now laying on his side and propped her head with her hand.

"You." he said looking at her.

"Me?" Jade asked and he rolled over to his side also facing her.

"I don't think I should tell you…" he trailed off by looking at her lips.

"Are you sure?" Jade asked putting her chin on his chest.

"Yup." Draco said holding her hand.

"You think about me sometimes?" Jade asked and he smiled nodding.

"Do you think about me?" he asked as she pulled to her. He landed on top of her and Jade giggled.

"I never think about you." she said as he tickled her. He bent over and kissed her and Jade kissed back feeling herself overwhelmed with happiness.
