"Ron isn't perfect, but he's definitely the right choice for me, just as Astoria was for you. Let's face it, you couldn't love me, because I wasn't a part of your destiny. She's gone now, but if you look inside yourself, you'll find she never left. She'll live in you forever, in your heart, along with your son. You won't be alone, Draco, as long as love keeps you together." Hermione hugged him before Draco lost control of his emotions. She allowed him to bury his face in her curls, giving him his moment. "I wanted to tell you that I forgive you, for that day twenty-five years ago. I can't change you. I should never have thought I could."
