A/N: Back to Rose…

Disclaimer: Nothing.

Rose was finally able to open her parents' letter. She got a paper cut in her excitement to open the letter but ignored it. The blood slid freely down her hand and fell onto the red and gold decorated carpet of the Gryffindor common room.

Dear Rose,

Your father left on Auror business recently after you left for Hogwarts. He hasn't come back home yet. When he does I'll tell him about your letter. Until that day comes, I am alone with your brother.

In answer to your question, "that man" was Draco Malfoy. He went to school with your father, your Uncle Harry and me. He was in Slytherin and was always tormenting us. He became a Death Eater at the young age of 16 and tried to kill Albus Dumbledore, Al's namesake. He was stopped but Dumbledore still died. Draco was never quite the same after that.

You have probably noticed that you look a lot like Draco. What with your blonde hair and facial features you two look like twins! Anyways, I think you're old enough to know the truth. Draco is actually your father. Not the man I'm married to, Draco. I'm really sorry to tell you about this on your first week at Hogwarts, but you deserve to know. Please don't tell your father. He doesn't know and I would like it to stay that way.

Hugo and I are doing fine, honey and I hope you are having a good week at Hogwarts.

Love,

Mum and Hugo

Rose let the letter drop to the floor after she had finished reading it. Draco Malfoy was her father. Her "dad" didn't know this, but was probably getting suspicious about it. She stared at the letter in shock, never picking it up. How could this have happened?

A/N: I hope you liked it. I realized after reading the first couple of chapters that it was obvious Draco was Rose's father. Sorry about that!
