Did he just call me Harry. He has never called me Harry. I thank him and he smiles at me. It isn't his normal smirk but a proper, heartwarming smile. Then, Ginny speaks. "what do you want, Malfoy?"

Ginnys P.O.V
I look at Malfoy in disbelief. He wants to what? Is he being serious? He can't seriously think we will be okay with that. Is he stupid or just naive? Wow!

"Malfoy, do you seriously think that I would forgive you for what you put us through? You bullied your way through school and now you want to be our friend? Why?" I ask, getting irritated.

He looks at me and laughs. "I get that you don't like me but you need me. Don't you get it? My dad and his mates will go after you for as long as they live, but if you are my friend then he won't go after you. You saw what he tried to make Harry do, and next time, someone could actually die! "

I sigh. He does have a point. Harry will keep getting targeted. We have to agree. For the sake of leaving Harry alive. We have to. "Okay Malfoy, we will agree." I say, giving him a small smile.

Ron's P.O.V
I am stood here, watching the events unfold. Then I remember. He has apologised for everything already. I am remembering the scene in my head.

*flashback*

I walk over to Harry's coffin in the church, but before I can get there, I see someone else sat on the floor next to it. I see a mop of blond hair. Malfoy. I was about to go over and move him, but I hear him whisper the words we have been waiting to hear for 7 years. "I am so sorry Harry," he exclaimed softly, tears rolling down his cheeks.

I move from the spot of the floor I was stuck to. Wow. That hit me hard. He is really upset. And he called him Harry. I leave the church, knowing I can go back later. I apparate to our flat, expecting Hermione to be here. But she isnt. She must be working late. Without giving it a second thought, I go to the bedroom and flop on the bed, having a nap.

*end of flashback*

I look at Ginny, who is smiling at Draco. She obviously decided to accept his offer. I look at him and I also smile. I know he is being honest. And he isn't just doing it for safety. I didn't tell anyone about it though.

I go an see Draco to the door. "I know about you going to Harry's coffin and apologising for everything. I was watching it all. Thankyou, Draco. It means a lot to me. I didn't tell anyone else though." I say, using my fingers for quotation marks when I say Harry's.

Draco grins at me. "I know, I could sense your presence. Thankyou for not telling anyone and for accepting my offer. You will all be safe now!" With that, he apperates away, waving at me.

Harry's P.O.V
I watch as Ron goes over to the door to see Draco out. Have I forgiven him? Is this forgiving and forgetting or am I just saving myself? I don't know. I just don't.

Later on in the day, we are all sat down for dinner. There is general chat going on. I think being cursed by them death eaters has made me come to my senses. I don't miss the baby. It wasn't even mine.

I do still miss it a bit, obviously, but not as much as I did before. If wasn't my baby, but I would have adopted it. I still don't think I would have been able to look at it fully in the eyes because of it's father... And I am glad that I don't have to spend my life doing that.

Me and Ginny finish our meals and go up to bed. I kiss her goodnight and we snuggle into bed together. I did miss this when I went. A lot.
