Draco POV 

It's been a year since my life took a great turn. 

A year since my mother was murdered right here, in this house. 

A year since I found out I had a step-sister. 

It's been a tough journey and no matter what the situation was one person has stood by me through it all 

Hermione Freya Zabini

From risking her own life to find out who killed my mother, to putting the killer in Azkaban, to helping me discover the truth.

She's been through it all.

My mother always told me "don't let other people dictate your life, marry for love. Choose someone who'll love you and stick by your side no matter what. Eventually you'll find the one you're looking for"

I guess I've found the one I'm looking for.


Hermione's POV

Today's Narcissa's death anniversary. I hope Draco's doing alright. This past year has been really tough for him and I hope he's close to healing. 

I got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. I saw Draco had already finished eating. 

"Morning love. How was you're night?" I say

"It was alright. Here have some breakfast" he says 

I finish eating my breakfast and we apparate to the cemetery.

At the Cemetery 

Draco's POV 

We place some flowers on mother's  grave. And all the memories come rushing back to me. I was never that close to my parents but compared to my father my mother definitely loved me more. 

I never thought that I'll cry at any of their funerals but my mother proved me wrong. Even though we didn't speak a lot there was definitely a bond there. And I miss her everyday. 

We sit silently beside her grave for sometime while Hermione rest her head on my shoulder. 

After few moments I say " Fancy a walk on the bridge?"

"I don't see why not" she replies

"We're walking on the bridge, holding each other's hands when I say "Thank you"

"What for?" she asks

"For everything. For staying by my side through it all, allowing me to heal, for going out of the way to do things for me, for making me happy and most importantly for loving me and letting me love you. 

My mother once told me that "Choose someone who'll love you and stick by your side no matter what. Eventually you'll find the one you're looking for"

I think I've found the one I'm looking for. So here

I hand her a ring box. She opens it and says 

"Draco, what is this.." 

"Marry me. I want you to marry me. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. What do you say? Will you marry me?"

"Of course I will" she says 

I place the ring on her finger and spin her around. 

We're engaged and nothing else matters

Hello, Dear Readers

I was thinking I could end it here and maybe write an epilogue. What do you think?
