TRUTH

Recap

Harry Potter went through his inheritance on 31st July, 1998. Everyone were gathered at Grimmauld place to help him. When clock struck twelve, he started thrashing on the bed and glowed very brightly and after five minutes, Ginny also started thrashing on the couch and glowed brightly. At the exact same time, another young man also started thrashing on his bed and glowed brightly.

In France

"Draco, Draco, wake up love. Nothing is wrong. Draco. " Astoria Greengrass tried everything she could to keep Draco Malfoy from thrashing on the bed. She didn't know what to do. One minute he was sleeping peacefully and then he started screaming and thrashing and glowing brightly.

It lasted for five minutes and the screaming stopped and light faded and it was once again dark. Draco was once again sleeping peacefully as if nothing had happened at all.

"Morning love. "Astoria said. "Do you remember anything that happened yesterday? After we went to sleep? " Astoria asked a sleepy Draco.

"No, I don't remember anything after I went to sleep. "

"You were screaming and thrashing and glowing very brightly"

"Oh… WHAT? "

"Don't need to yell love. Just try to remember. I thing you went through your inheritance. "

"Nah, I got my inheritance when I turned seventeen. And Astoria don't call me love. It doesn't feel so right. "

"Then I think you went through someone else's inheritance. "

"What do you mean? "

"I think you are soul bonded to someone else. It really explains why you are uncomfortable with me one the bed. "

"Are you sad Astoria? ". Astoria started crying. "Why are you crying? Is it because I am soul bonded to someone else? I am so sorry. I would do anything I can but it is magic we are talking about right? I really loved you. You made me feel peaceful for the last couple of months after we left Britain. Please don't cry Astoria. Tell me, what did I do to make you cry? "

"Nothing. Its just that you have never called me by my real name. You have always called me Tori. Now I feel like as if I don't even know you. You feel so distant. "

Draco took her hand in his and kissed it like any other gentleman. "I am sorry Astoria. I really am. "

"I think I should crack the surprise. I was going to tell you tomorrow but I think I should tell you now itself. I am pregnant Draco. Two months. "

"What? That is wonderful but I don't what know to do. In this situation..."

"Don't you want it? "

"Of course I want to . Its mine also, right? But you can't stay with me. When I find my soul bonded, I have to return to that person. "

"Don't think me as a cold-hearted person but can you take care of the baby? I know its too much to ask but we are both still young and I can start another family if I want to and with a baby it may be difficult. But your soul bond will accept you no matter what or else you both will die. So… "

" I am happy to take care of it. Maybe in a few years I may find him or her. But don't you want to know about its growth and development? Don't you want to be a part of its life? "

"Maybe I can be but I don't want to be more that. Please understand me. I am so sorry. Your life is secured no matter what. But for me… I don't know about anything that happens out there and if I want to explore the world, I can't do that with a baby on my shoulders. Please understand me Draco. We can always keep in contact. "

Draco thought for a second. He was having a mental battle inside. He was angry that Astoria didn't want anything to do with the baby. Angry that he was a submissive partner to someone. Angry for fleeing Britain. Angry with his parents, Voldemort and Potter. But he was also feeling sympathy towards Astoria, his mother and Potter. 'Why do I feel angry and pity towards Potter? This is for the first time. What is happening to me? Oh Merlin. ' Draco thought.

"Draco, Draco? You completely spaced out. What is the matter?" Astoria asked him softly.

"Nothing. No need to be afraid. I think we should discuss more about this with my mother."

"I think that is a good idea. I will move out of this room in a few hours if that is not a problem for you. "

"No. Take your time. You can take the room next to my mother's. I will talk to her now and then you can join us later." With these words Draco walked into the bathroom.

Astoria started packing her things. After five minutes Draco left the room to find his mother.

In Britain

Harry woke up feeling very tired. He remembered everything that happened last time. He was a natural animagus with three forms and he was soul bonded to three people. 'What is happening to me? All I ever wanted was a normal life but even after the war i don't think i cod ever be normal. I have to tell Ginny and Hermione about this. May be they can figure something out. ' He thought and went out of his room to find Ginny.
