AN2: Hope you like it loves. Comment and give your thoughts!

Dear Hermione,

I'm back home. Like I told you here things are pretty bad, but I still can handle it, what worries me is my mother, the other day we went to Diagon Alley and cross path with a group of men, it was lucky that Weasley was around, I know he hates me but he saved us from an uncomfortable situation. I'm really thankful even if he doesn't believe so.

I hope you are okay and I like I said if you need anymore help trying to fix your parents memory I'll be happy to be your guy. Not that we are something, I'm not implying anything. I'll just be happy to help.

Well, I decided to take your advice. I'll be leaving for the States in two weeks. I would love to see you again before I leave but I'll have enough just with letter from you.

Draco Lucius Malfoy

Dear Draco,

Or are we in full name basis now? Let me rephrase it then.

Dear Draco Lucius Malfoy,

I'm sorry it took so long to answer but I've been very busy.

I actually heard about it from Harry and for what he was told it would have been something awful and you are making it sound like you broke a nail. Are you okay? I can't believe there's people still terrorizing whoever they can blame. After everything we've suffer. All of us. That's just disgusting! We went through a freaking war because of this and no one learns anything from it.

Thanks again for that, I met with your friend the other day, but he says there's no way of getting their memory back. The spell did too much damage. I can't really believe it. I don't want it to be real but I guess sometimes things are meant to be the way they are. It was the way to keep them safe, and I won't regret it. Even if it feels like it can kill you.

That's good! But remember, just until the waters calm, don't run away from the situation just let it get colder, then you'll just have to face the music. I can leaned you some Gryffindor courage if you need it. I really wish I could see you too but I have to put a lot of things in order before going back to the magical world but then I guess I can have enough with your letters.

Hermione Jean Granger

Dear Hermione,

Ha ha. You're hilarious!

I'm sorry to hear about it, I can't even imagine how it must be to you, we're alike in that, family is always important, no matter what. I have to admit that I may hate my father for all what he did but loosing him... Life is never fair. Especially when it comes to love.

So, as you guessed already I'm in America an I have to admit that is a little overwhelming but I'm handeling everything alright. I took care of the company and now I won't have to submit myself to do what my father raised me to do, well, technically I still own the company but I won't have to manage any of it now and is the best thing I've done. I was thinking that maybe I could pursue a healer career, I've concluded that with all the pain I saw maybe I can actually help, redime myself.

What about you? Have you given any thought about what will happened now? What am I saying? YOU ARE HERMIONE GRANGER!

I was doing a crossword the other day and can you believe that it really said a three-letter word for happiness. I couldn't help but laugh and remember you. JOY. And the O fitted. That's probably my favorite word now.

I have to go, my mother wants to go shopping in the 5th Avenue. And I don't really like the sound of it. Expensive clothe and my mother. I'll probably die. Let me tell you this I never knew a place as crazy as New York City. But it's quite beautiful I'll give them that. You would like it. At least I believe so. They have this HUGE public library for muggles and just underneath it theres a wonderful wizarding library. You would love it, that one I'm sure.

Well, I hope to hear from you soon. Yours,

Draco

Dear Draco,

You are right, you know? It's not fair, we know that more than anyone. But I think that we always should have some sort of hope.

Sounds wonderful Draco! I'm sure you would do great! Healer Malfoy, has a nice ring.

If I'm truthful to you I have no idea. I've always wanted to work in the ministry in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, you know, actually do something right and not let it fall into some bigot's hand but I've also noticed that half of the time no ones pay attention to things like this and don't get me wrong I have a lot of faith in Kingsley but he has a lot in his hands already. So I'm still not sure what will happen. For now I'm moving in with Harry while Ginny is doing her last year at Hogwarts, and Harry said Luna will probably come to live with us too, at least until her father can gehert back on his feet, I'm dying to spend my time hearing about Crumple-Horned Snorkack,I love Luna she's amazing but she can be so, well, Luna.

I'll be taking my NEWT's just lilke Ginny but I won't be coming back, it would be too hard. Maybe I'll bring back S.P.E.W. I remember you making fun of it at school at least once. I was thinking about changing the name though, there're too many magical creatures out there being discriminate for something that's not their fault. Anyway I think that for now it'll do just that.

I feel so bad for you really, my mother always dragged me to Oxford Street when we were in muggle london and I just hated it. I've heard about the Public New York Library. Is it as amazing as I've read?

Joy. It sounds like a good word to me.

Well, there's not much to tell. Ron keeps trying for us to get together, but you were right. I told Luna what you had said, she said that it was great view of love and that it was admirable for someone to stick to it.

The other day I watched the American movie I told you, the one from the song in the bar. Now that you're there you should watch it. Casablanca. I always loved Rick Blaine. I love the European cinema but the American it's pretty amazing too.

I've been spending a lot of time with Teddy. Harry and I took care of him this weekend so Andy could have some quiet time to herself and he is the most wonderful person on earth. He keeps playing with Crookshanks while on his playmat and every time you call his name he looks at you and change his appearance, Harry was a little wounded cause if he wasn't wearing his usual turquoise hair he would go for brown hair instead of black it annoyed him a little but it was quite funny, I really enjoyed it. Also I don't know if you knew but I bump into Zabini the other day and he was with a very pregnant Tracey Davis. Have to admit that I was surprised, among the Slyderins Tracey was always nice to me while we were in Ancient Runes, we were partners in a project and she was very shy. Which Zabini was nothing like and now they invited me over for tea but I wasn't sure, for what I know Zabini was always pretty neutral during the war and given that my relationship with Tracey was not so bad I thought about actually saying yes but I did want your opinion on the matter, Harry insists that is not a good idea but I thought you might know a little bit more in this situation... I really hope I hear from you soon.

Love, Hermione.

Dear Hermione,

You see,for a normal person not knowing what they means NOT KNOWING. For you is have everything planned but with a dubious ending which really is what people call PLAN. I'm surprised about the NEWT's but I get it. I'm sure you'll get nothing but outstandings. You should just do what you really want. Forget about everything else and just do whatever the hell you want. In my defense you gave me the best opening, you were wearing a badge with itthe word 'spew' on, I couldn't help myself. And I wasn't the only one who thought about it, and you know it.

It could have been worse. That's all you're going to get.

And the weasel won't give up eh? He may had saved me but he's too thick to deal with. Don't be afraid to hurt him, try the one you did to me in third year on him and send pictures if you can.

Yeah! I looked it up and my mom and I watched it. She cried. A lot. And the movie is heartbreaking and I won't deny it, I may have cried a little bit. But an important matters, Your whole 'We will always have Brisbane' when I left. I'm not giving up on what I said before. You said that it was too soon, that if we meet and if we feel and a lot more of IF's but I'm standing by what I said to me this is not a matter of IF's but WHEN'S.

Of course you are amazing with kids! That doesn't really comes as a surprise!

I knew he had a thing with Davis but I certainly didn't see that one coming. And if he is with her then they must be serious, can't believe I just said that about Blaise. I was in Ancient Runes too, how's that I don't remember you two? You have nothing to worry about. Blaise and Davis never choose a side and they wouldn't hurt a fly. If you want you should go then, I'm sure they are still having a hard time too. They could have with someone as good as you.

I start my healer training tomorrow, wish me luck.

Love Draco.

Hermione,

I have an urgent matter I need to talk to you. I'm going to London as soon as I'm done with my training. I'll probably be there before this letter arrive but it's just in case I get delay.

Yours, Draco

There was a knock in the door, Hermione curse at the sound, right after it she could hear Mrs. Black's screams and a little behind a crying baby, she washed her hands and let the bathroom door open and looked at her wristwatch a quarter to one. Five minutes.

She went running to the next room and grabbed Teddy trying to soothe him. Magically, she went silencing every portrait and closed the blinds of Mrs Black. Then she opened the door.

She could have imagined anyone in her doorstep. But this man in front of her, it seemed sureal.

Draco Malfoy.

"Hermione!" said the blonde as soon as he saw her. He was soaked by the rain.

"Draco, come in you must be freezing." Said a still surprised Hermione while she motioned him to follow her to the drawing room. She conjured a towel and handed it to him.

After a a moment of silence. He realized that they weren't alone. A baby, a little bit over six months was sleeping in her arms, he recognized him immediately, he didn't dare to move closer, he was still wet and cold.

"Draco, not that I don't love to see you but what are you doing here?"

"You didn't get the letter then. Well, Hermione, I really needed to see you. I got a letter late last night, it was about one of father's last businesses. He had me betrothed." The Witch gasped understanding the path of the conversation. "I know how it sounds, and I know you already know why I am here. I need to know what would happen with us if I decide not to keep with the contract and instead of it I would come back to you. What would you tell me? And don't you dare to use the same arguments from Australia."

Doing her best to keep things logically she asked "What will happen if you break the contract?"

"My father did an oath. I'm not sure what would happen. Specifically with him in Azkaban. The contract didn't specify that."

"So, this might kill father" her voice was starting to break.

"Maybe not."

"I can't do that, not to your father not to anyone."

"Hermione, I LOVE YOU. I probably have my whole life. Every single time I look back it's just there." His face showed despair and pain, the usual emotionless face from their days back at Hogwarts had disappeared like it had never touched his beautiful face.

"I don't think this is a good idea. You're not thinking straight. I can't do this right now." Her vision started to get blurry but the tears hadn't fell yet. She didn't want to believe this was happening, it wasn't supposed to be this way.

"I just have until tomorrow morning." She looked at him. His eyes were dying, the pain taking the life in them.

"I'm sorry then, but I can't do it. I won't be the reason behind your father's death. I know you love him. I can't do it." the first tear dropped.

"I love you" he sounded like child, he looked like a child. And she understood. They were just children. Children forced to grow up so fast, to live lifes where the first thing they really knew was pain, not physical, no. An emotional pain lurking inside them, a pain that would never go away. Even living in the new safety of the world. They were just that, children.

"And I love you, so I'm going to ask you to leave, if you don't, we will both regret it." Second tear.

"You can't do this to us."

"You have to go." Damn be the pride, her tears were falling freely now. She hold on Teddy a little bit tighter. Maybe feeling him there with her, she would be stronger and wouldn't fall apart.

He got closer in a swift move and kissed her hard, full of pasion and love, the kind of kiss that will remain in their minds until the day they'll die.

As he walked to the door he turned to give her a last look, that moment he knew without any doubt that he would never love a woman like the one in front of him, and with that he couldn't help say "We will always have Brisbane."

She heard the door closing and stood there. Crying, she said to herself "And I will always love you"

After what felt like hours she looked at her wristwatch she saw, five minutes to one am. And everything came crashing down to her once again. The little object on the bathroom in the floor above made her want to keep crying. She should have checked it five minutes ago but the results would have been the same no matter what. She went upstairs and put little Teddy down in his crib, how the baby was still sleeping was beyond her.

With timorous steps she got to the bathroom door still open. She didn't have to get closer. More tear fell down her already red face. Ten minutes was all it took. Ten minutes to broke someone's heart and your own. Ten minutes to know that you would hurt more people than you had already. Ten minutes to change your life. Ten freaking minutes.

AN3: Yes, so what? I love Casablanca way too much so sue me lol

AN4: I know usually the pregnancy tests take around 2-3 minutes to give an answer and that after a couple of minutes the test can be damage but lets face it I couldn't have done it shorter. It would have been to cruel.
