A/N: I can't believe that this fanfic is coming to an end and that this is the last chapter but I hope you've enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I will hopefully be posting two new fanfictions soon one Draco one and one Fred one so look out for that. That being said please enjoy the finale of Always. Includes various flash-forwards. X

Aurora's POV:

It has been 3 years since the battle of Hogwarts, both Draco and I have been living together in a beautiful manor near his mother's house and have jobs at the ministry. Lucius was arrested alongside various other Death Eaters thankfully Draco didn't face any trial or persecution. We also have been trying to visit my father a few times in the year he's taken over his parents' old business which is lovely.

Currently, I am getting ready for a date me and Draco have planned I'm not entirely sure where we are going but I've been told to dress up so I decided to wear a black silk tight fitted dress that went to my mid-thigh. I paired it with some black heels and a black blazer jacket and honestly, I looked beautiful. 

A knock at the bedroom door drew my attention away from the mirror and toward my handsome boyfriend who was wearing an all-black suit we looked like a power couple. He leaned against the door smiling across at me as I put my wand in the garter around my thigh so that it wouldn't ruin my dress.

"You ready darling?" He asked and I nodded in response walking towards his outstretched hand he laced our fingers together kissing me gently on the lips before apparating us. When I came round from the still unbearable nauseous feeling from apparating I realized that we were outside Honeydukes.

"Draco why are we outside Honeydukes?" I giggled giving the blond a confused look.

"Come on," He laughed pulling me into the building and sneaking us into the cellar and it was then I realized that he was taking me down to the secret passageway to Hogwarts. I silently followed as we got into the Hogwarts building familiar memories rushing back as we snuck through the building finally reaching the top of the Astronomy Tower. 

"So you're probably wondering why I snuck us to the Astronomy tower?" Draco questioned re-lacing our hands together and looking down at me with a loving gaze.

"Yeahhh," I prolonged letting a smile plaster its way on my face.

"Well, Aurora you always told me when we were younger that we were put on this Earth to be together for a reason and I believe that reason is that darling you are an angel sent from heaven to guide me to be a good person and protect me from the evils of this world. Despite me being raised around people who can only be described as devils and in reality, I am one too. But all those years ago I thought I was too broken and that I couldn't be fixed and I thought that we wouldn't work out because I was too damaged and that you deserved better but I was too selfish and I never wanted to let you go but you never lost your faith in me. So what I'm trying to say- well ask is Aurora Durmstrang will you marry me?" As the last words left his lips he pulled away from my grasp pulling out an emerald velvet box from his pocket and went down on one knee revealing a beautiful diamond princess cut ring with two smaller emeralds at either side. 

I let a gasp leave my lips slapping my hands across my face to cover my mouth and I couldn't help the rush of excitement that caused my legs to do a little run on the spot making Draco laugh. I nodded my head multiple times crouching down slightly to cup Draco's cheeks and bring him to kiss my lips. As we kissed he stood up picking me up in the process and spinning me around until he placed me gently on the floor taking my hand and placing the ring on my finger.

Three years later

I lay fast asleep snuggled in the arms of Draco until the crying of the baby monitor caused us both to stir awake. My body hesitantly but instantly sat up until Draco leaned down kissing my lips before muttering that he would go and see if Scorpius was okay. He pottered out of the room to the nursery next door as I collapsed into the comfort of our bed the 7-month-old having kept me up for three nights in a row.

After thirty minutes I decided to get up to see if everything was okay, the silk shorts and strappy top being unforgiving with the cold of the manor flicking my hand towards the fireplace it instantly lights up. I pad my way to the nursery next door leaning against the door frame as I find my gaze upon a topless Draco holding our sleeping child. He looks up at me and smiles slowly standing up from the rocking chair and walks towards his crib placing Scorpius gently in the center. Draco then flicks his hand to place a heating charm on the crib as I refused to keep a fire burning in a room we weren't in, he then slowly makes his way towards me standing behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I love seeing you with him your always so soft," I whispered with a slight giggle.

"Imagine what I'd be like if we had a little girl," He whispered back placing a kiss on my neck.

"Draco," I said warningly," I only just had this one let me liveeee," I teased.

"Come on darling let's go make another baby," He spun me around kissing me gently with such passion.

It was in that moment that I finally understood Dumbledore's letter and the words that my father once spoke to me all those years ago that I needed to know who I was as a person before I could love somebody else and in those years of tragedy and tournament I forgot who I was. The love I had for Fred Weasley wrapped me up like a baby in a blanket and was pure love he was the perfect person but time brings out the things in people that we don't always want to see and I didn't want to lose Fred as a friend. Now he is happily married with his own family and our families meet often for meals that were all I wanted. 

The love I have for Draco Malfoy is completely different from the love I had for Fred it consumed me like a tsunami engulfing me in its wings, it started in the tips of my toes and spread through my body like a fire until it reached the crown of my head. It was all I'd ever known and all I ever want to know, it is complicated and with faults but that's what has made it so perfect, and that's why I loved him completely and entirely. 

Always and forever.
