Second Chance At L♡VE

August 29nd 1999

Draco Malfoy was getting his life back in order and was sculpting the life he wanted for him self. After the war his family name was destroyed. His father was sentence to Azkaban for life. While Draco and his mother were left free. But Narcissa loved her son to much to let Lucius been in jail destroyed her. 

Even more when she saw the man she loved go away. He had failed in the one thing she had asked him. Protect Draco. All he did was put him in danger and as Lucius was been taken away he said. "You are a disgrace! How dare you give Potter your won!..." Lucius said but Narcissa made him be quiet with the "Silencio" charm. She was not going let him hurt her son or make him into the monster he had become. 

She changed her pure-blood ways and became accepting of everyone. She even returned to her old passion that was healing and work at St Mungo's part-time. But the biggest change in Narcissa's life was been reunited with her younger sister Andromeda and Teddy. The now orphan boy because Bellatrix had killed her own niece. She would be another grandmother to Teddy and Draco an uncle. The manor was sold to a mysterious stranger. Narcissa moved in with her sister and Draco made plans to move into a loft after graduation.

Draco return to Hogwarts to re-due his last year right and was Head Boy. He returning playing quidditch as the team Seeker and captain. Graduating third in his class. He started dating Astoria Greenwood in his last year and they fell in love quickly. He was deeply in love with Astoria as she was of him. They were planning there up coming wedding in the next two month right after graduation. Draco had been selected to play professional quidditch after trying out for Puddlemere United. He was going to be their new Seeker for the next season.

The only bad thing was that Astoria had a blood curse and Draco knew that she wouldn't live long. He did all the research to find a cure. He finally found one in Japan and made plans to take his fiancé there. They even traveled like muggles in a plain. First class of course as he saw his future wife sleep. "I will love you forever. You will be healed and be with me till we are old and wrinkly." Draco told her.

They arrived at Japan in the morning and explored the magical city. "Who would of said two pure-bloods Slytherins. Would be around muggles." Astoria says smiling at Draco as he held her close to him. "We will be different. We won't be like our parents." Draco tells her kissing her forehead. "In two days you will be healed from this curse. That runs in your veins and will be mine forever." Draco says kissing her wrist as she smiled and kissed him. 'I will always be with you. No matter how far I may be from you. I will always love you and protect you." Astoria says kissing Draco's forehead. 

Two days later Draco and Astoria went to the temple to start the process. The temple was on a high mountain top invisible to muggles. The temple was red and white with few black tiles scattered around the floor. They represented the souls that had been saved. Draco and Astoria were asked to put on white dress robes and not to wear nothing of color.. There were scorpion statues everywhere. Astoria looked at the statues and smiles at Draco. "What?" Draco asks "I was just thinking Scorpius is a nice name for a boy." Astoria says making Draco jump from his seat. "Are you telling me your..." Draco starts to say as Astoria laughs and shakes her head. "No babe. I am not pregnant. I am just saying for a near future." Astoria says. 

In that moment they are called into the room. The room is completely white. There is nothing that is not white in that room. Hence the reason why they were dressed in white. "This will be a long day for her. As we will not finish till midnight. After I finish she shall go and rest. Be completely alone till the next day. I will give her a sleeping potion and after she has rested a full day. You will give her sleep trout to wake her. After that you bring her back and she will take a bath in the Rakmachina Fountain. Then she will be able to go home and live a full life." the old man says. Draco kisses Astoria's hand as she is asked to lay on the floor. She is wrapped in thin white rubric like a mummy. 

Soon the old man started to say some words in a language Draco did not know. As his dear Astoria shook as she was been Crusio. He wanted to hold her but he was told to not touch her till the old mad told him he could. The hours went by and Astoria started to vomit something that looked like black ink. When it was all over Astoria was as pale as the white room. The sheets where Astoria was held were covered in that subsistence. Draco was told not to touch it. An assistant came in and she cut the fabric with her wand. 

Then helped Astoria get up and took her to get changed. "She will wear the white gown. Till she comes back." the old man says. "So she is cured?" Draco asks almost in tears. "She is but she is very weak now. She has to come back to clean her self and restore and straighten her blood. After that I will give you some potions to give to her to drink. Three times a day for the three days. You be here. I will also show you how to make it. Is not hard is just to make the blood strong. Is what the muggles call thin blood." the old man says as Draco just smiles.

Draco took Astoria back to their hotel in arms and had her rest. He slept in the other room of the suit as it was told he should do. The next morning he woke up and left the hotel room. He did not want to be tempted on going to see Astoria. Draco went to the market to buy all the herbs the old man had sad. He returned an hour before it was time to wake Astoria up. He packed all the herbs in his suitcase using the hide muggle feature in his luggage. 

Draco goes to Astoria's room. As he opens the room. Draco fall to his knees and then crawls over to his beloved Astoria. The room, her bed, the dress robe and Astoria are covered in blood. Draco goes over to her and shakes her yelling at het to wake up. "Toria! Astoria! Assttorriiiaa!!!! Nooo! Nooo! please wake up! You can't leave me." Draco cried as he hold the lifeless body of Astoria till the sun came up. His eyes are swollen from crying his hands and clothing covered in her blood.

When the sun hit he knew he had to go. He cleaned the room with his wand and wrapped up Astoria in a white sheet. He then notice Astoria had a mark he had seen before on her arm. As well as her wand was broken in half. The potion he was suppose to give her were destroyed. A witch or wizard had done this but who could it have been? 

Draco didn't have time to think about that. He took the body of the woman he loves in his arms and apparated to the mounting. He carried her up the hundred stairs where the old man looked upset. He did a ritual so Astoria's body would not be trapped in limbo and go to heaven. As Draco just cried for the lost of his future wife.

Draco returned home and for two months and he lock himself up and drank. He did not eat much or sleep and he did not shave or showered. He was letting himself die. It was not till he dreamt with Astoria. She was upset with him and what he was doing. "I told you no matter where I will be. How far I am. I will always take care of you and protect you. But this is not what I want. I want you to live. Live for both of us, love for both of us. Get up Draco. Get up. You have a wonderful life ahead of you. But you must live to see it. I will always love you but you must live. Live, Laugh, Love Draco. Wake up... Wake up... Wake up Draco Malfoy." Astoria said fading away.

 As Draco opened his eyes and sees he was at St. Mungo's his mother in tears. They told him he almost died but they brought him back. After that Draco changed. He became the man he promised Astoria he would be. Now falling in love again seem little to much for Draco to do at the moment. He was going let time fix that. If was meant to fall in love again destiny would bring him to her.
