I arrived there, Rose cradled in my arms. Narcissa came down the stairs and greeted me with a hug. " Luna, oh it's so wonderful to see you again. And who might this be?''

"I would like you to meet your granddaughter Rose.'' A confused expression came over her face, and then I saw realization dawn over her.

"Luna what have you done.''

"Please you have to listen to me.'' Narcissa looked torn looking from me to the baby.

"I can't believe you…Luna you…explain.'' She led me to her living room and told me to sit. I did, sitting in a rocking chair, rocking her back and forth. I then explained everything that had happened at the hospital ward. She had her hands in her face by the end.

"Merlin.'' She looked back up. " We really need to make sure she is Draco's.''

"How?''

"There is a potion for it, but we would need blood.'' I winced looking down at the sleeping baby.

"No is there is anything else.''

She sighed and nodded her head, '' we need tears.'' I jumped as Rose began to cry. Narcissa stood up and grabbed a vile from the kitchen as I warmed a bottle. She came back and held the vile under Rose's chin catching the tears. She put a cork in the vile and I began to feed Rose. I watched as she concocted the potion. It began to glow a silvery blue, she added the tears and one of drop of her blood. The potion changed to a silvery- purple. Narcissa turned around and looked at me. She walked silently over and reached out her arms. I wordlessly handed her Rose and she cradled her in her arms.

" My granddaughter, my granddaughter.'' She kept whispering. I pulled out the yellow envelope Hermione had given me and opened it. It contained two vials, both glowing silver, along with papers, and two letters; one addressed to me. I opened it; a silver phoenix, with a green emerald eye dropped onto my lap, I examined it, and then put it back in the envelope; I instead turned my attention to the letter, it read,

Dear Luna,

If you are reading this letter, I am dead, and no longer can protect Rose. I am sorry to have to hand this responsibility over to you. It was the only way to ensure that Rose would be safe. In this envelope are papers handing all my possessions and money over to you. There is also a letter giving you legal guardianship over Rose. I wish Luna that things had turned out differently, I wish that I could go back and change so many things, but I can't. I only ask a few more things from you Luna; in this letter it contained a necklace, I would like you to give that to Rose. There is also a letter addressed to her, when she is old enough, and you have explained the circumstances, which I was in; please give it to her. Again, I am sorry to have handed you this responsibility but hope that you will come to love Rose as your own. I think that you will, as it is not hard to love her I wish you and Rose all the happiness in the world.

Love,

Hermione Granger

I folded the letter back in to the envelope and took out the necklace along with the letter addressed to Rose. I walked over to Narcissa and showed her the necklace. She smiled. " I wondered where that went, a Malfoy family heirloom.'' I clasped the necklace around Rose and kissed her forehead. I looked over at the other papers, legal papers, as the letter had said, naming me Rose's legal guardian, and giving me possession over Hermione's money and the rest of her possessions. I would go tomorrow and set up a anonymous account for Rose at Gringotts, she would get access to it when she went to Hogwarts; I had no doubt that she would end up going there.

"You did the right thing Luna.'' I rubbed my eyes tiredly.

"I know Narcissa.''

"What about the Grangers?''

"I hope they believe me.''

"What about Potter.''

"It would be easier if he didn't know.'' She nodded and continued smiling down at the baby.

"Did you know?'' I asked.

" No, but Draco seemed happier…'' she trailed off. I sighed.

"I don't know what I'm going to do about my living conditions.'' She got up and walked up the stairs and I followed. Narcissa carefully put Rose on one of the beds. Making a barrier of pillows around Rose.

"I will buy you a house.''

"But..'' I started to protest but she waved me off.

"You are practically my daughter Luna. You gave me my granddaughter. You rescued her from living a life that no child should live. I think I can at least buy you a house. Now get some rest.'' She hugged me and I walked over to Rose removing some of the pillows and laying next to her.

"Your acting like a mother already.'' Narcissa smiled a sad smile and then walked out of the room.

I began to sob and hold Rose close. I mourned not only Hermione's death, but also Draco's, which had become fresh in mine. " I just hope I'm a good mother.'' I whispered.
