Chapter 25
Lupin came back with Tonks and his baby. They were out to pick a spot to bury Zabrina. When they walked in, they saw a girl sitting on the couch. She had midnight-black hair, pale skin, red lips, and deep purple eyes.
"Hey Dad," she stood up and smiled, "Tonks, and Teddy."
Lupin held her without hesitation. Tonks joined in, and Zabrina had to hold the baby so Tonks could wipe off her tears.
"This isn't a dream, right?" Lupin asked.
"No Dad," she pinched his arm. "See?"
"Well," Lupin sniffed "you fooled the world."
Zabrina laughed. "Did I miss anything?"
"Not much," Tonks smirked "although you've almost been buried."
Just then, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley burst into the house.
"What is it Arthur-"
"No time to talk. Harry's at Hogwarts. Go. Now. Hogsmeade," and they Apparated.
Lupin looked at Tonks and Zabrina wearily.
"Go on dear," Tonks said. "I'll stay here with Zabrina and Draco."
"Alright," Lupin said and he Apparated to Hogwarts.
"Go upstairs and you'll find Draco. I'll be right back," Tonks said.
"Where are you going?"
"To mother's. You honestly think I'll let my husband fight alone?"
Zabrina smiled. "No, what about Teddy?"
"That's why I'm going to mother's!" Tonks said and Apparated as well.
Zabrina went upstairs to Draco's room, and knocked on the door. There wasn't an answer, so Zabrina stepped in. She saw Draco sitting on his bed, staring at nothing.
"Hey," Zabrina said quietly as she stepped in.
Draco immediately looked up. "You-"
"Yes Draco," she forced a smile. "I'm so sorry."
He kneeled in front of her. She walked to him immediately and did the same.
"You were dead!" he cried. "I saw you get killed!"
She wrapped her arms around his neck as he held her, and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I didn't die, Draco," she whispered. "Don't you remember what I told you about me all those years ago?"
Draco pushed himself back and cupped her face with his palms. He stared into her eyes and made sure she was looking back into his. He missed those eyes, those deep purple eyes, and he fell in love once again, just like he always did whenever he saw her. He leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. Zabrina swore time stopped at that point, and she forgot about everything. She closed her eyes and held his arms. They stayed like that for an eternity, or an hour, or a minute, but she didn't care. All that mattered was that he was with her right now, and she was with him. When they finally became two again, she wiped his cheeks with her thumbs.
"We gotta go, Draco," Zabrina whispered. "He's at Hogwarts."
"Can't we just stay here?"
"Like I'll let that happen."
Tonks entered the room and smiled when she saw the two. "I know this is really annoying, but I really need to go. Are you two coming?"
"Yes," Zabrina said and pulled Draco up. "Let's go."

It was still quiet, as everyone was just waiting for the moment to arrive. Zabrina followed Tonks as she went up the stairs and found Lupin.
"You shouldn't have-"
"Like I'll let you die on your own," Tonks said as she kissed him.
"You brought them, too?" Lupin said in a shocked voice.
"They wanted to come," Tonks smiled. "They'll be fine, dear. Zabrina, go find your friends when it's still safe. I heard that the Slytherins were in the dungeons."
Zabrina nodded and went down with Draco.
When she went down, she saw all of her friends trapped behind bars.
"Daphne!" Zabrina yelled.
"Zabrina?" Daphne yelled back.
Zabrina ran towards the cell. "Why are you guys here?"
"Parkinson wanted Harry sent to You-Know-Who," Daphne rolled her eyes.
"Well that explains everything."
"Listen, Zabrina. I'm sorry I avoided you for the past two years. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't scared of you, but-"
"It's alright, Daphne," Zabrina smiled. "It's alright."
Daphne sighed. "Oh thank Merlin, I thought you were mad at me."
"Why would I?" Zabrina stepped back. "Now embrace yourselves."
Everyone stepped back.
"Bombarda Maxima!" she yelled. The bars, and parts of the brick walls, exploded, and the Slytherins ran out.
Daphne hugged Zabrina. "What are you gonna do now?"
"Well what do you think I'll do, watch Harry get his ass kicked?"
"Well, yes," Millicent and Tracey stepped in as well.
"I want to join!" Violet yelled.
"No, you'll stay somewhere safe. You're still not of age yet-"
"Oh come on, Zabrina. We might die by tomorrow anyways. Let her have something to remember."
Zabrina rolled her eyes. "Fine."
She saw Draco drag Crabbe and Goyle out of the dungeons. Goyle didn't really have the chance to bother Zabrina again, and Crabbe wasn't interested. Blaise stepped out and ran towards Daphne.
"You staying?" he asked.
"Yeah," Daphne hugged him. "You can go if you want."
"I'm not letting anyone hurt you."
"Oh yes, and the two die together. End of story, can we move on now?" Tracey said.
"Right," the two said and they all ran upstairs.

The battle had begun. Bright lights shot through everywhere and everything. Death Eaters were hexing, or maybe even killing, students and adults by the minute. She was looking for Draco, which was impossible because all the students in Hogwarts were running around all over the place. She bumped into Hermione.
"Zabrina you're alive!"
"Yes, have you seen Draco?"
"Well, no actually. What are you doing here?"
"Well obviously, I'm here to fight."
"Oh, well Ron and I are going off now. Hope to see you again!" She yelled as she ran with Ron.
She ran around the castle, searching for Draco, when she heard someone laugh. Fred and another Weasley was just outside the Room of Requirement.
"Fred!" Zabrina yelled.
"Zabrina?" Fred looked shocked for a moment. "Well I guess the Dark Lord's daughter could defy death as well."
"Oh shut up."
"Ah, so you're Zabrina. I've heard a lot about you," The Weasley shook her hand. "I'm Percey Weasley."
"So, what's brought you here?" Fred asked.
Before she said anything, there was a large sound coming from nearby. Zabrina pushed Fred and Percy, and felt a hand pull her away from an unknown heat behind her. She looked up as she saw Draco right beside her.
"Are you bloody mad? You could've been killed!" Draco yelled.
"Are you two alright?" Zabrina ignored Draco.
"Never better," Fred smirked. Percy raised his thumb.
Just then, she heard Voldemort's voice echo the castle.
"If you continue to resist me, you will all die, one by oneā¦" and he led on about him being merciful. He commanded the other Death Eaters to retreat, and gave Harry an hour to come to the Forbidden Forest.

She saw endless people, either injured, dead, or weeping. She stopped to see Lavender Brown, Ron's ex, and Colin Creevy lying on a mat asleep. Zabrina walked down the Hall, searching for the two people she loved most. She almost tripped over a body, and she stopped to see it. Tears were blurring her eyesight as she held on to her dad's hand holding Tonks's.
The memories started to come back like a movie. She would step on his feet while he was teaching her how to dance. He always liked his hot cocoa with coffee powder on it. He would always forget where the tree decorations were, although it's him who puts it under the couch every year. They would bake cookies, and decorate the gingerbread house, admire their tree, and spend a gift-less Christmas together. They would save up coins and galleons so they could go Christmas cookie shopping together. They would go to a muggle grocery shop together, and he would run while pushing the cart she was riding on. They would eat ice cream and play tag at a nearby playground. He would push her on the swingset, and she would always yell at him to go higher, but he never did because he feared he might lose control over his strength. He would wait for her at the bottom of the slide with open arms, and held her and spun her around when she reached the bottom. He would let her sit on his lap and read to her his books that were way too hard for her, because he didn't own and couldn't afford any children's books. They would lie down in their backyard and point at weird clouds and name each and every one of them. She would always drag him downstairs with his eyes blindfolded on his birthday, and present him a birthday cake she always burnt. He would still eat the cake, and say it was the most delicious cake he's ever tasted, even if he had to spit it out when he thought she wasn't looking. He would always lift her up and spin her around whenever he came home after his transformation ended, and she would kiss every scar on his face. He would wave goodbye to her every year when she went on the Hogwarts Express, smiling. He would send her an owl every day, and she would reply every day. He hoped that she would make great friends, and she did. He gave her all the knowledge he knew, and loved her with all his heart. He gave her his everything, and she couldn't even say goodbye properly.
Zabrina turned around and Draco wrapped his arms around her. For the first time in her life, she cried.
"I'm so sorry Zabrina." He whispered.
Just then, everyone started going outside. They followed, only to see all the Death Eaters standing behind Voldemort. He was announcing the death of Harry Potter, and demanded surrender. He was now accepting those who wanted to become Death Eaters.
