Epilogue

Harry still had a hard time believing that his wish for a family had come true, and it was all because of a jealous man. Harry had reasoned that Fudge had been jealous of the attention accorded to Harry and set out to destroy him. Little did Fudge ever dream that his jealousy would lead him to live on an island with the person he had coerced into helping him and was the only person who spoke the same language. Thanks to obliviates, neither remembered what had led them here or where ‘here’ was. The other inhabitants of the island more or less ignored them and let them struggle along on their own. It was still laughed about by the denizens how the two newcomers had been chased from the hill den by the family of skunks and were scented. The natives were beginning to wonder if they knew any survival skills at all. They would just have to wait for the results.

The two had managed to form a type of hut to live in on the far outskirts of town, and even built a little building they could be seen carrying baskets of leaves into every couple of days. Eyebrows were raised in question, but no one bothered to ask. They were surviving.


At Hogwarts, the days flew by, and then the weeks. The students had finished up classes and graduation. Hermione and Draco graduatith ith honors as expected, just moving slower than normal. Harry strutted around the castle, never being seen without at least one of the babies in his arms if not all of them in the special pram.

His son with Draco, Perry Olin Malfoy-Potter, was becoming a little heartthrob with his blonde hair and green eyes.

Hermione’s children were causing a stir as well. Their little girl, Leslie Maitane, was fast becoming a cooing favorite with her father’s black hair and green eyes. Draco and Hermione’s little boy, Brinley Aldrich, with his mix of parent’s hair, being frizzy and blonde had the trademark Malfoy eyes and was a darling at this age.

Hermione’s son, with Bill Weasley, had the red hair and Hermione’s frizz and cinnamon eyes. Darrell Edmond Weasley was a frequent visitor with his father at Hogwarts before end of term. Bill would take care of the baby while Hermione was in classes and they would care for the boy after that. Bill and Hermione decided to raise Darrell together and still have Hermione continue her education while he continued working for Gringott’s as their Curse Breaker.

The last child born that day was exotic to say the least. Severus and the Malfoy baby girl, Wilona Richelle, was remarkable with the fine fl fel features of the Malfoy’s and the blonde hair. The eyes are what set her apart from her other birthday partners. She had her father’s black eyes.

Hogwarts was a busy place during the end of their seventh term. Babies to take care of, relationships to build upon, and post graduation considerations. It had already been determined that Harry and Draco would move to a wing at the Manor with their three and Lucius and Severus would occupy a wing of the Manor and would frequently be staying at Hogwarts when needed.

The Malfoy family and the Malfoy-Potter family had hired help with the babies, being the sensible people they were. They were, however, very much involved with their children on a daily basis. It wasn’t unusual for a baby to make a noise and have four males reaching for it to take care of it.

Draco continued to study the family business under his father’s tutelage and Harry decided he wanted to go on further to a cooking school and open a new restaurant between the Manor and Hogsmeade. Draco helped his dreams come true.


Eleven years later, the Sorting Hat was having a busy night and trying to keep secrets. Perry, Brinley and Darrell were sorted into Slytherin. Darrell’s placement came as a shock to the entire assembly, accept to him and his friends. They just sat together and smirked. The adults shuddered.

Leslie and Wilona had been hoping to be with the boys, but the Hat told them they belonged in Gryffindor. The boys looked at them and nodded. Inter-house relations were going to be fun in the coming seven years. The adults saw the exchange and shuddered again.


The years passed quickly as they will, and the five had lived up to and surpassed the exploits of their parents. There was, however, no animosity between the two houses. They showed the houses how to stand united and it continued on through their tenure.

The leaving feast during their seventh year was highly emotional. The five had tied for highest scores and were planning on their university careers. Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall had decided to retire together after seeing the five graduate. They suggested Severus and Lucius as Headmaster and Deputy Headmaster to the board, stating who would be more qualified than former students and parents of former students? The Board of Governors accepted the recommendations and made the adjustments to the school. Severus offered Draco the now vacant Potions Master’s job since he had qualified.

Harry was busy with his restaurant, the children were off to college so Draco accepted the position. He and Harry were still going strong at their early age. It is safe to say, once Harry had the restaurant up and running and had established an excellent reputation, he turned his attention fully back to Draco and his family, not that he had let it slip away from them. The children had been away at college for four months when Harry decided he needed to see Poppy, he figured he was just run down and tired from pushing himself to hard. The news Poppy broke to him had made him grin like a loon.

Harry wound his way down to the dungeons where this all started. He knocked on his husband’s classroom door and entered. Draco raised an eyebrow as Harry swaggered up to him and leaned in close. “Dismiss the class NOW.” Draco looked at Harry and ordered everyone out to the library to finish the written portion from the book and a two-foot parchment on edible aphrodisiacs.

The last student left and Harry’s wand closed and locked the doors. He had a triple silencing spell up in a heartbeat and had banished all the portraits from the room. He looked at Draco and smirked. “Did you know that I used to have fantasies about this? About being able to shag the potions master on my classroom table? Only thing was, I had to wait until now, since you are the only one lover I’ve had or will have and I had no intentions of doing Severus.” Harry backed Draco up to where his table used to be and spun around and sat on the edge of it. “Draco, make my fantasy come true.” Draco looked at Harry and immediately went to work. When they were too exhausted to move and lay cuddled up on the table, Draco asked what had brought Harry to Hogwarts, thatthat he minded.

Harry kissed him softly and slowly and leaned into his ear. “I wanted my fantasy to be with the Potion’s Master who would be mine and who loved children, since we have created twins.” Draco sat up so fast he fell to the floor and Harry just rolled on the table laughing at him. Draco sat stunned and murmuring “Twins, we are having twins? You’re going to be a Daddy?” Draco jumped up and cleaned and dressed them with rapid spells and dropped all the silencing and locking spells. He grabbed Harry and kissed him soundly and spun him around. “Come on, we have to tell my father and Uncle Sev.” They made it to the stairs in time to hear Severus give a whoop. They raced to the top of the stairs to see Severus and Lucius locked in an embrace and both were glowing.

“Excuse us, can we share the good news?” Before Draco could finish, Lucius turned to his son with tears in his eyes. “I’m going to be a Daddy again.” This was cause for celebration and they all headed to Harry’s restaurant. Who should they see but Hermione and Bill ordering from the menu? Harry went to them to make suggestions and returned to his table with an astonished look on his face. Hermione was expecting triplets again, and this time she made sure her mediwitch could count correctly.

It looked like history was going to repeat itself at Hogwarts again.
