“Daddy, where’s Mommy?”

Oh, gods.

“Uh…” Draco Malfoy was at a loss for words. His youngest child stared up at him expectantly.

He hadn’t expected this day to come so soon. She was three, and the twins were four and a half. They hadn’t asked about her yet! Why was she?

“Aquarius…I—Your mother…”

What was he supposed to tell his daughter? ‘Oh, sorry Aquarius, but your Mother was murdered when you were born. She’s not coming back. Tough luck, kiddo.’

“She’s dead, isn’t she?”

Draco froze and his grey eyes met with his daughter’s ice blue ones.

“How did you-“ he started but Aquarius cut in.

“Andromeda told me. She said that she was killed by You-Know-Who.”

Draco knelt down and engulfed the blonde in a tight hug. “She’s right sweetie, but your Mother didn’t go down without a fight. She loved you and your brother and sister very much.”

Draco pulled away from the little girl and looked her in the eye, wiping away her tears.

“If she were still alive, I know she would be as proud of you as I am now.”

Aquarius’s face brightened. “Really Daddy? You mean it?”

“Of course I do, munchkin. Now, time for bed.”

“Aw, Daddy, can’t I stay up a little while longer!” Aquarius whined, giving her father her famous puppy-dog eyes.

Draco laughed and picked her up, tickling her. “Absolutely not! It’s almost midnight!”

Just a little fic I did a long time ago. In the end I decided NOT to kill of Arya, but here’s a little ‘What If’ thing. Flames are welcome. Furnace broke, so I need SOMETHING to warm myself up. Plus I like to laugh at the idiots who waste their time flaming me when I don’t give a crap.
