Everyone agreed as my alarm on my monitor went off.

"It's time doll. Your last potion. I will go and get it now," Nicola said as she left the room.

Again the fireplace roared to life as a whole herd of people arrived.

There were too many to fit comfortably in the house so we relocated to the cabin. I sat in the armchair at the front of the room by the fireplace. Kingsley, Joanna his wife, Aled, Meyer, Mr & Mrs Weasley, Madame Belemount, Iro, Arnas, Zygmuno, Professors Slughorn, McGonagall, Flitwick, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Harry, Nate, Laila, Bill, Fleur, Wren, Pansy, Blaise, Theo, Azaleah, Narcissa, Andromeda and in the corner in a baby play pen was Isabella and Teddy.

All eyes were on me. I felt very uncomfortable.

Draco was sitting on the arm of my chair holding my hand as Nicola approached with the glass vial. The monitors all sat to my left all hooked up to me still as Nicola handed me the vial. "Now there is an incantation with this one that Professor McGonagall, Zygmuno and I think we need two more people."

"Yes we do," Professor McGonagall explained. "And I know just who to ask - Miss Granger and Mr Malfoy."

"Me?" Squeaked Hermione as Draco gasped "What?"

"Miss Granger has been helping me with the incantation all week both here and at school. No one knows it better. And Mr Malfoy - you have the emotional connection to Miss Diggory. I believe you will be a real asset."

"But I don't know the incantation." He pleaded looking scared.

"I can show you Draco," Hermione reassured him.

"But I - I mean we could..."

"Draco you don't -"

"I will do it!" He said determinedly.

"That's my boy," Narcissa squeaked.

"Ok so the incantation is...Cantatio abscede et corpus hoc omni morbo exue. You hold your wand like this and roll it around as you say it clockwise and then counter anti clockwise. We have to say it seven times. we have to stand around her at the four points. North, South, East and West." Hermione explained.

Draco nodded. "Cantatio abscede et corpus hoc omni morbo exue?" He asked and Hermione nodded. "Ok got it."

"Y'all ready?" Nicola asked and all four spell castors nodded and took a deep breath. "You ready sugar?"

"Yip ready," I answered.

I downed the contents as the four made a circle around me. I watched Draco as he stood before me. The North point. He winked as they began their incantation and wand work.

I held my breath.

Strange thing was I didn't feel any different. In fact I felt nothing. No pain, no pressure, no anxiety. Nothing. I closed my eyes and pictured myself happy and healthy.

I imagined my graduation day with Draco and my friends. I thought of our wedding day with me walking down the aisle towards him. I thought of my dream of opening a school. And of what our future babies could look like. Mini Draco's.

I wanted it all. I wanted Draco. He was my future and I knew that we had so much to live for. So much that we had planned. And he deserved the future he dreamed of. The boy who made all the wrong choices deserved to be allowed to become the man who made all the right ones.

He deserved to be happy and I wanted to spend the rest of my life making sure that he was.

Draco was my everything.
