"Hello, Harry."

The man in question turned and was surprised to see Draco Malfoy standing behind him. He had not seen his former boyfriend in 3 years since the death of his sister. The blond had not changed much. He was still taller than Harry and was dressed impeccably while Harry stood there dressed in his ripped Auror robes. He had just gotten back to the Ministry from a raid, on his way to his office to write up the report.

"Hi, Draco. What brought you back to London?"

"A couple of things actually. It is Evangeline's birthday and I always visit her grave but I normally leave right after. This year I knew I needed to see you, to apologize for leaving without word."

"Before you say anything else, come into my office. I do not wish for my colleagues to witness this conversation."

Harry led the way to his office and once inside cast a silencing spell, impervious to even the Weasley Expendable Ears, which Ron was still fond of. The brunette sat behind the desk while Draco sat on the other chair in front of the desk.

"Go on."

Draco took a deep breath and gazed at Harry.

"When I received Evangeline's letter, it cemented the fact that she was gone. She knew she would die going into that battle but it did not stop her. She knew the thought of losing her would crush me but she still went because she had to."

"What are you talking about, Draco?"

"You know about her role as consort to the Dark Lord."

"It has been 3 years. You can say his name, Voldemort. Yes, I knew but after the battle."

"To be a full consort, she had to partake in a ritual. I had to agree to the ritual or else he would have killed me for standing in his way. In her letter, Evangeline explained the ritual. It made her his consort but also tied her magic and life force to his. In order for you to kill the Dark…Voldemort, Evangeline had to die as well. She said she would die on her terms after righting a few wrongs along the way."

"I did not know, Draco. I am sorry."

"Nothing could stand in her way when she had her mind set but to know she died for people who hated her, for people who did not know her, for people who were not born yet tore out my heart. Her life was shit, Harry, but she did what she did for others. Their happiness and lives were more important than her own."

Draco began crying and strong arms embraced him. He clung to those ripped robes like a life vest. Harry did not know what to say to help Draco grieve. He knew her death had been hard on the Slytherin but did not know how deep it went.

"Like Dumbledore said, she may be gone but will not be forgotten. He always said that death was the next great adventure."

"As long as there is a Malfoy line, Evangeline will never be forgotten. I named my daughter after her."

"What? A daughter?" Harry asked, pulling back slightly to look down at the other man.

"Evie is why I am staying in London. She was born this morning at St. Mungo's to a Muggle surrogate. Merlin, or at least Evangeline, must be looking down on us because my daughter was born at the exact time my sister was 19 years ago. She will have the life my sister never had."

"Congratulations, Draco. I am surprised but happy for you."

"I needed to apologize for my actions and to tell you I never stopped caring for you. My heart wanted to drag me back here so many times but I could not bear to see the disappointment and hatred in your eyes when you saw me."

"I could never hate you, Draco. We were all grieving but I would have been there for you."

Neither said a word, allowing the comfortable silence to calm them. Draco pulled from Harry's arms and stood looking down on the Gryffindor. He wiped the tears away and smiled.

"How would you like to meet my daughter?"

"I would love to see her."

"Good but first change. I will not let some dirty, ripped robes anywhere near my daughter. She is a Malfoy and deserves to be greeted in nothing less than 100 Galleon robes," Draco smirked.

"There is the Malfoy I fell in love with."

Harry removed his outer robes and then the shirt and pants underneath.

"And there is the Potter I fell in love with."

Two former rivals turned lovers left the office to see the newest addition to the wizarding world. Little Evangeline Olivia Malfoy may only be a few hours old but it was to protect children like her that her aunt willingly died. She will grow up learning the story of her aunt, the truth that blood status does not mean a thing, and that freedom is worth dying for.
