Chapter XVIII
As Harry had promised him, his mother was cruelly put to death by the Dark Lord for crimes against him she did not commit. In the eyes of the Dark Lord his mother was found guilty of treason. Someone had given false evidence that she had been giving information on his whereabouts and activities to the Aurors. While he didn’t necessarily care that the Aurors knew this information because they could not touch him where he was it was the principal behind the matter according to the Dark Lord.
Draco and his father had to stand there and watch as the Dark Lord used some of the most menacing and cruel dark magic on Narcissa Malfoy for over six hours straight. When he was done with her she was barely recognizable and hardly any of her left to recognize. The once proud Narcissa Malfoy true to the Dark Lord until her end was murdered by the one man she had sworn undying loyalty to while her master and her sister laughed at her pleas. If Draco was amongst a different crowd he would have shed a tear for his mother. No matter her crimes against Draco and his father, she did not deserve this end. No one did.

“Dray?” Harry mumbled tiredly as he felt Draco slip into bed behind him. He had tried to stay up and wait for him but after dealing with a ten month old baby all day and trying to get some studying and homework done he was exhausted.
“Just let me hold you right now Harry. Please.” Draco pleaded his voice breaking at the end as his emotions finally consumed him.
“I’m so sorry Draco.” Harry told him as he held Draco as he cried into the the back of Harry’s neck. He had tried to turn towards the blond but Draco had just tighten his grip around his waist to keep him still. He did not want Harry to see him like this right now, and Harry understood that so he let his love have his moment as he offered the little bit of condolences he could. Though Narcissa Malfoy was a bitch to many even Draco, she was still his mother. And for her to end the way she did and have to watch was enough to break any sane man.

“How is he Harry?” Pansy asked him.
They were having one of their get together’s in the Room of Requirements. They hadnt done it in a while since Harry and gotten Kara back who currently was sleeping on Draco’s chest as he gazed unwavering into the fire unless Kara made the smallest of movement or noise in her sleep then the Banshee would shift his gaze upon her to make sure she was still comfortable and asleep. For the past week it seemed like Kara was the only person that could get Draco to smile or laugh even then they weren’t as carefree as they once were with anyone else you could tell they were not real or sincere but for Kara she got the closet to the real thing Draco could offer at the moment.
“Not so good. I know they weren’t particularly close but to see that-”
“I know. I had to stand there and watch myself. It’s a fate no one should have.”
“No, it isn’t. I just wish I knew what to do to get him out of this funk.”
“Just give him a little time Harry.” Hermione told him she was sitting on the other side of him. “Just let him continue to have these moments of peace with Kara and he’ll come around. Draco would do anything for that little girl and you. He just need to get his mind in the right place.”
“She’s right Harry. And it shouldn't be to long now before he is alright. I am still getting over what happened.”
“I’ll give him time. But I am starting to miss my daughter. And she is going to have a hard time going back to being on her own since he holds her all day. The only time I get her is to feed her and even then I don’t have to do that as much since she is eating soft food as well.”
“She gives him peace of mind.”
“And I don’t?”
“I am sure you do. And I am pretty sure that once he is sure you are asleep he clings to you at night. He doesn’t want you to see him weak. With Kara he knows he has to be strong so she can stay calm and happy. So to keep up his facade he stays near her for your benefit.” Pansy told him.
“I just wish I could make it better.”

“Harry why don’t you talk with me anymore?” Ginny asked him one morning after he had come down for breakfast alone leaving Kara with her nanny elves since he had to get to class after he finished eating.
“I have been busy Ginny. I have life and school work to deal with. I am sorry I haven’t been to the Tower in a long while to visit everyone but my daughter and my school work comes first if I want to make a life for her once I leave the castle.”
“Your family has money Harry it isn’t like you have to work for a living.” Ginny scoffed at him.
“Be that as it may, I do not wish to just live off my inheritance just because I can. I actually want to do something rather than be a lazy twit for the rest of my life.”
“You still plan on becoming an Auror?”
“No I don’t. But I still plan on working in the Law department.” he told her as he reached for his cup of pumpkin juice.
As his hand grazed the goblet a little voice in his head told him he shouldn't drink the juice. Pulling his hand back slowly Harry swept his gaze around the room. He knew someone had put something in his juice. He was the only one that set in this seat. Just like everyone else kept to their seats they had been in since the beginning of the school year. Though seats weren’t assigned it was more comfortable and convenient to sit in the same seat since the house elves laid the food and place settings out in the same fashion every morning. You could practically reach for something without having to look at what you were picking up because the same thing was in the same spot every morning.
“What is the matter Harry? Why aren’t you drinking your juice?” he heard Ginny ask him.
“I’m not thirsty anymore or hungry.” Harry said pushing his plate of food away.
“But Harry how are you going to concentrate in your classes if you don’t have a full breakfast. You will be hungry long before lunch if you don’t eat now.”
“Why the sudden interest in my breakfast intake Ginny?” Harry asked her with narrowed eyes.
“I am always interested in your health Harry. You are practically family.” Ginny said sounding hurt. It almost sounded genuine but Harry knew better, but he would keep his opinions to himself at the moment.
“Well thanks for your concern but I do not feel like eating or drinking anymore. I think I will return to my rooms for a moment.”
“But Harry-”
“Have a good morning Ginny.” Harry said leaving Ginny at the table.
Ron and Hermione weren’t at breakfast this morning namely because Ron was serving a morning detention with Minerva and Hermione was at the library. Neville, Seamus and Dean were at the table but they were to busy in their own conversations to pay attention to Ginny.
Harry had always suspected there was something not to trust about Ginny and her obsession with him. But he figured once she knew he was gay and had a kid she would back off. But that is obviously not happening. He knew she put something in his pumpkin juice and he knew whatever it was, was probably a strong love potion.
But during his musing as he left the Great Hall he never noticed the pair of concern silver eyes that had been following him all morning and that had taken in his movements at the Gryffindor table when he pulled away from his pumpkin juice. Those silver eyes flashed dangerously to the only red head Gryffindor in the Hall. He had put two and two together and figured someone had done something to his mates drink and he knew the person.
But what neither boys noticed was a pair of ice blue eyes also watching Harry and Ginny interactions. Those eyes practically begged for the boy to drink from the goblet. But some unknown force seemed to stop Harry from doing so. Setting those ice blue eyes ablaze with a vengeance.
