Dear diary,
My visit to Draco's granddaughter had left me surprised and pleasantly impressed. She is a very bright young girl. Worth to be the granddaughter of Hermione Granger, well now Weasley.
I wonder how had she ended up a squib. Few years back I would blame the muggleborn gens, but now that I finally grew up and looking at my beautiful muggleborn wife… I can say that it may not be the case. Hermione Granger may be a muggleborn, but she is a formidable witch, thing that I remember from my school days. And even after the Great Battle.
The work she is doing there is amazing. I believe that I would have enjoyed working there too, had I been raised liked she had been.
I appreciate that Potter had told her that I was coming, I hated the thought that I was going to Scotland yard out of the blue.
I may be wizard, but I know that you cannot just walk in there.
Thing that I did. Or almost did anyway. That Brian boy stopped me. Until she came. She looked so radiant, so happy ; but you could tell by looking at her eyes that she was just as upset as everybody else for the crimes and wanted to help find the murderer. Just like her grandmother. And mother. But I did not have the chance to know Rose Malfoy very well. And not even think about Rose Weasley. My first and last interaction with her had been at her wedding to Scorpius, my godson.
And later each time I talked with Scorpius or had him over in my house in USA, he had been alone, motivating her absence one way or another. Not that we talked many times; just me doing my godfather duty. Still I have no doubt that the reasons were true, Scorpius often said that I scheduled our meetings so his wife couldn't make it intentionally. Of course that was not true. It may have been at the beginning, but even than I hadn't bothered to find out her schedule so I could avoid her. Too complicated. And after I met my wife, there wasn't anything of the sorts; all my thoughts of the kind had disappeared.
After all Rose was a pureblood of first generation-a halfblood with two magical parents, while my wife is a muggleborn. Our kids will be exactly like her. If we have any. At my age. Still one must not lose hope.
I love her and she loves me, we will have kids, I have to. I have never realized what I was missing until the day Scorpius had announced me Rose was pregnant. Just in that moment I had realized how much I wanted a child to call my own. But with who? With the thin air? No, I was condemned to come back everyday to an empty house, to an empty bed. And to live the rest of life in solace without knowing the joy of being a father or having a wife.
And then, few months later I had met her, the light of my darkness, the love of my love and I hope the mother of my kids. Our relationship had started slowly with me being my stubborn self and she being young enough to be my daughter… but it had started and it had turned out to be the best thing that had ever happened to me.
After all this time we still hadn't discussed kids, but this meeting with Draco's granddaughter had given me the perfect opening. I was Draco's age and he had grandkids, I wanted kids.
And the visit wasn't fruitless in information either. Now we had a pretty good hunch to act on it.
I hope we catch him soon,
Theodore Nott
