* Harry's POV *
It had been a few weeks since the ball where despite the slight drama we had fun, we had decided that we were ready to choose our profession so we headed to the Ministry together, exited to see most of our family whilst we were there. We walked in and avoided the crowds of people who began pointing at us, in favour of walking to Sirius's office. We walked up the stairs to the lift, and all squeezed in holding on as the lift began to wizz backwards. Eventually after a short but dizzying ride we had arrived at the office.

We knocked on the door and as the door opened two arms flung around me "missed you too Padfoot" I laughed as Lucius made his way through as well, hugging Draco. They invited us in and we saw that Remus was also here, we all sat down and caught up for a little while before they finally remembered to ask why we were there. "We've all decided that we want to take more of a role in running Wizarding Britain now that we're ready, so we came to ask you what you need doing", I told them as they're smiles grew. "Okay that's great but you guys know that you can literally choose anything you want, you're in charge", we all laughed and agreed we would talk things through and decide what each of us wanted to do. So Sirius told the others of a room that they could figure things out in but he wanted to talk to me. I agreed and Lucius took Draco to talk whilst I stayed with Sirius and the others followed a Ministry worker who looked very nervous to the room Sirius was talking about.

"It was lovely to see you and catch up pup, but I have a meeting I'll talk to you later", with that Remus left with a hug. "I just wanted to check up on how you were feeling Harry. I know that you've been through a lot but I also know that you're still so young and shouldnt have ever had this pressure put on you. The things that you and your pack have endured couldn't be imagined by even the most hurt. I'm so sorry that you were dragged into this, but I need to ask how you're feeling and if you are okay", Sirius said not breaking eye contact. I took in a sharp breathe "I know and I am grateful that you want to know how I am but I'm okay. Everyone thinks it's been the worst time of my life fighting Voldemort and Dumbledore but it wasn't. There have been way worse times in my life, this wasn't the first war I have been through and it wasn't the first time I had gotten hurt. In a strange and twisted way, I wasn't ever scared for myself because I know the pain and I know the loss. I was most scared that someone I cared about would feel that loss, that pain. That's what hurt me more than they ever could".

He smiled sadly at me and nodded his head. There was a pause before he let a sad chuckle out. "You know I understand that feeling. I understand the loss and the pain, maybe not as much or as well as you but I understand. Loosing your father and your mother was the worst pain I had ever felt, more than everything that happened in the war. And whenever I fight I just have one thought as I look out onto the battle field. And it's to make sure I never feel that dread and that hurt again. I never want to see Remus like that or you or anyone. I would watch the world burn to stop that from happening because its the worst pain, there isn't a visble wound to fix. The pain just looms over you", I nodded and smiled sadly at him and he smiled back.

There was another pause before he gathered his feelings and spoke again. "You're just like him you know. Your father. Not through your looks like everyone says but through what matters. Your undying love and respect for the ones you trust. And that loyalty and understanding is all Lily. I see them both in you everyday and I know if they were here they would be extremely proud. Not just of everything you've accomplished but for the man you have become despite the worst conditions and consequences. I know they would be proud because I am so proud", I moved closer and hugged him as he let a few tears fall, hugging tighter when a few of my own joined.

* Draco's POV *
We walked in silence down the corridor and into another office. I sat down in the chair and father sat on the sofa chair. "I wanted to talk to you. I know we talked through this once but I just have to tell you something. I'm so proud of the man you have become Draco, I'm sorry for not seeing it sooner. I shouldn't have tried to change or stop who you loved and I can never tell you how sorry I am for that or how much I wish I could go back and stop myself-", I cut him off "Father its okay, we've been through this. You know I forgive you and Harry does as well". He smiled sadly and I got a strange feeling that I knew something but ignored it "I know that whatever you decide to do with the rest of your life will be amazing, your mother and I are so proud", I hugged him and smiled knowing that he was trying his hardest with having a Potter as a relative soon. "Just promise me one thing", he said pulling back to face me "Please, if you have kids, have Malfoy as a last name or when I die, I will never hear the end of it from James", we both laughed and talked some more, it was nice to see the change in our relationship.
