Chapter 19 – Epilogue
July 31 2018
“Dear Diary.”
“You were given to me by aunt Ginevra when my birthday was in February. She told me sometime’s it was nice to have someone to be your confident and added that she had made sure you were safe. I don’t know what she meant by that. I haven’t written in you sooner because I really haven’t had anything to say. But now I do. I received my Hogwart’s letter yesterday. I got in. Of course I do have two Wizard’s for dads so why shouldn’t I have gotten in? Oh yes I said two fathers that is right. Maybe I should start by introducing myself? My name is Lily Minerva Malfoy-Potter. I have two brother’s and one sister. I am the oldest, eleven years old since February. My brother Lucius Albus is nine since May. Then my baby sister Narcissa Molly who is seven next month and at last my youngest brother James Arthur who will be five in November. Our fathers are Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. I just found out those names mean a lot in the Wizarding World. Until few hours ago I just thought my daddy, Harry, and dad, Draco, were normal Wizards. That was until I heard them fight when I was going downstairs for breakfast this morning.”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lily Minerva Malfoy-Potter woke up on the morning of her daddy’s 38 birthday. She knew there was going to be a little get together tonight. Nothing fancy since it wasn’t a big birthday but still dinner with the whole family and the closest friends.
“Which means it’s going to be crowded. With aunt Ginny, Uncle Ron their families and everyone” Lily thought as she got dressed and headed downstairs to have breakfast. She had heard her dads going down around half an hour ago so breakfast should be ready. As she came down the stairs and was about to walk into the kitchen she heard her dads speaking loudly to each other, she had never heard them fight before. She knew she shouldn’t eavesdrop but she stopped nevertheless peaked her head so she could see her dads and listened.
They were so busy arguing they didn’t see her.
Dad Draco was pacing on the kitchen floor impatiently, running his hand through his hair frustrated.
“I do not understand why you do not want to tell her Harry.”
Daddy Harry was leaning against the kitchen unit with his arms folded across the chest.
“Because, Draco, she, they all deserve a normal childhood.”
“And they have a normal childhood we have always managed to keep them protected from the press and the madness that is our lives sometimes. She is eleven years old Harry...”
“They are talking about me.” Lily thought “What are they talking about?”
“...she is going to Hogwart’s this fall. She is going to know within hours of stepping on the Hogwart’s express. The kids are going to recognise us on the train station walking her to the train. And someone is going to come and talk to her on the train. And when they know she doesn’t have a clue about whom we are, except her dads, they are going to tell her. Do you want her to find out like this? You found out like that and you were in shock. Do you really want her to start the school like that? You are using the same arguments Dumbledore used about putting you in foster care at the Dursley’s I suppose you want to do that next. So our children will not be raised by wizards. Two men. Imagine that the corruption.” Draco spat.
“That is not fair Draco. I don’t want that and...” Harry sighed. “...I don’t want Lily to find out from stranger whom we are. She knows I am an Auror and that you are the Minister of Magic but I am not sure she realizes what your position means. We should tell her. Tonight. And James, Narcissa and Lucius, we should tell them too. Not the whole gruesome truth but the important things. I’ve been protecting them too much. They need to know something, before anyone else tells them.”
“They are all going to learn the whole gruesome truth when they go to Hogwart’s anyway. The Victory over the Dark Arts is a part being taught now in the History of Magic in first year. Rose told me she was learning about us last year.”
“She was?” Harry asked amused.
“Yeah, apparently the History of Magic book was updated a few years ago, remember when she, Hugo, Hermione and Ron came to dinner during the Christmas break and she was all weird. She was uncomfortable around us. I told her we were still the same Harry and Draco only a bit more...famous.”
Harry snorted. “Yeah...famous, that is an understatement, try legendary.” Harry stood up from the unit and walked to Draco, giving him a hug and a kiss and muttering in his ear.
“I am sorry about what I said mon amour.”
“It is all right mon chéri. All is forgiven. I understand your point of view.”
Lily withdrew herself from the doorway and stood in the hallway with her mouth open for a while. Famous. Legendary. Her dads? What were they on about? She then gathered her thoughts and decided to go to Rose for a visit after breakfast...and get that History of Magic book. She walked into the kitchen and smiled at her dads like nothing was out of the ordinary
“Good morning.” She said happily and took a seat.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I went to Rose after breakfast, diary, and asked her about her History of Magic book. She got all weird and said I shouldn’t read it but I told her I wanted to and told her about what I heard my dads’ say. She gave it to me reluctantly and I read the Victory over the Dark Arts part. And now I know...my daddy is legendary. Like he said. He was destined to kill Voldemort, the greatest Dark Wizard that ever lived. And he did. Dad helped him and he’s quite the legend himself he has done a lot of thing during his six years as Minister of Magic, the youngest Minister of Magic ever by the way. But before that Dad supported that guy Voldemort...but he turned from Him. Then my dads’ fell in love after dad had turned from Him, and got together. And after killing Voldemort they got married and had me. I knew that of course.
Daddy gave birth to me. Wizards can do that, get pregnant by using magic and potions He wanted to do that. But he wasn’t willing to carry another child, told me it was really difficult, guys aren’t built to have children. So my brother Lucius was carried by dad. He wasn’t willing either to carry another child. So James and Narcissa were adopted. But still we all look a bit alike. I’ve got my dad’s straight platinum blond hair and daddy’s emerald eyes. They often say that the boys won’t leave me alone when I get older. Eh... who want boys anyway? Not me. Not yet anyway... but dad tells me I will soon enough. Hope he’s wrong... anyway... Lucius has daddy’s black hair, that always looks like he has been walking through a tornado, and dad’s silver gray-blue eyes. Narcissa looks the least like the rest of us. She’s got red hair and light brown eyes. Dad used to tease daddy about that she was the illegitimate child of his and aunt Ginny until daddy snapped one day and screamed at dad to stop being such a bastard. He would never cheat on him. This is another thing I am not supposed to know. I eavesdrop... a lot... it is a flaw...and I know way too much of things I shouldn’t know. James on the other hand has a blond hair, not platinum blond but normal blond, and blue eyes. Really blue eyes. Both James and Narcissa were adopted from a Wizard orphanage and they have already shown signs of having magic.
But none of us knew. Our dads are famous. I understand why they didn’t tell us about this. Like daddy said. To give us a normal childhood. But I am going to tell them I know about this after Dad get’s home from work. Daddy is having his summer vacation. Dad is too busy to have one, he can have a day and day off but nothing more. Now I understand why. He is the Minister of Magic. Which is the most important job in the Wizarding Britain. Like I said I understand why they didn’t tell my, but I am still not going to act like it didn’t hurt me that they didn’t tell me about this sooner. I am eleven years old for Merlin’s sake, the same age dad was when he met Voldemort the first time. I deserved to know this and I am going to tell them that. Nonight.”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The rest of the day Lily spent reading everything she could about her dads in the History of Magic book, Rose had lent her. She even found some books hidden in the library that had information. Around five o’clock Lily heard her daddy calling her. Lily went downstairs and her daddy was sitting in the living room with James in his arms and Lucius and Narcissa sitting on the floor playing.
“Hi darling.” Her daddy said. “I was wondering if you could help your dad and find Lucius’s dress robes and help him get dressed while I dress James and Narcissa. Could you?”
“Yes daddy I can.” Lily replied. “When is dad coming home?” She then asked wanting to tell her dads she knew sooner rather than later.
“He is coming home around six, bit earlier than usual, and helping me with the dinner. It is going to start around eight so people should start getting here around seven. Although I have to say I am not sure how much help he’s going to be. Never been too good with the cooking.”
“He never had to cook while he crew up. Had he?” Lily asked her daddy. “There used to be houseelves in the Manor that did everything for him, aunt Claudia, Grandma Narcissa and Grandpa Lucius right?”
“That’s right.”
“How many people are coming?”
“Narcissa, Severus and Claudia are coming from the Manor. Molly and Arthur. Ron and Hermione, with Hugo and Rose eh... Ginny with her husband and girl.”
“You mean Georgia?”
“Yes Georgia. Who else? Remus will be here “Wouldn’t miss it” were his words. Bill and Fleur and their three kids are in France so they won’t be here. Charlie will come...solo like usual. Percy is working and his wife and their two children are at her parents. And Fred and George are busy at the shop with their families. So those 13 with us six will make 19 people. So a pretty small party this year.”
“Well we won’t have to move the party to the Manor like when you and dad had your birthday parties joined together when you turned 35.” Lily said smiling a bit.
Her daddy laughed at that memory. “We were crazy thinking we could host nearly a 100 people here in Grimmauld Place. This house is big but not that big. Now go on and get your brother dressed. We need to hurry up.”
“All right daddy.” Lily said and dragged a protesting Lucius behind her up the stairs to get him and herself dressed.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Three hours later all the guests had arrived and everyone were gathered around the big kitchen table at Grimmauld place.
Draco and Harry had moved at Grimmauld Place after Hogwarts’ when it was of no use for the Order anymore and finished fixing it up. Making the place resemble it glory days without all the Dark Arts articles. They usually stayed there all around the year, letting Narcissa, Severus (they had started dating around a year after Lucius’s death and got married two years later) and Claudia (living there with her boyfriend but planning on moving out soon) staying at Malfoy Manor. That too had been cleaned of all Dark Art objects and made more children friendly. “For the grandchildren.” Narcissa had said and Draco had blushed since he and Harry hadn’t discussed children at that point, they didn’t discuss them until seven years later and finally at the age 27 had Lily.
Now the nineteen persons were eating and chatting happily. The kids sitting at one end and the grown ups at another. Grandma Molly and Grandpa Arthur, like Lily called them despite them not being her real grandparents, were happily taking care of their grandchildren, giving the parents a bit of a break. Now Grandma Molly asked Lily a question.
“Your dad told me you got the Hogwarts’ letter yesterday. Are you looking forward to going?” Lily noticed Grandma Molly looked at her dads with a weird look, clearly she did not approve of them not telling her about who they were. She saw that at least her daddy had the good grace of blushing slightly.
“Yes I am Grandma Molly.” Lily said happily. “Dad and daddy have told me a lot about it. I am especially looking forward to learning History of Magic. It is supposed to have gotten a lot better since that ghost quit teaching it. I’m also looking forward to making new friends. I hope people will like me.”
“Oh I don’t think people, not liking you is going to be a problem.” Rose muttered into her soup and Georgia gave her a nudge in the ribs.
“Rose!” Uncle Ron hissed and Lily noticed how the grown ups all tensed a bit and looked nervously at each other.
“They all know.” Lily thought and got angry.”They all know that us, the siblings don’t know about our dads and still no one’s told us. Not even my cousins.” Lily stopped being angry. Instead she got furious. She slammed her spoon down, that she had been holding in her hands and stood up fast, and swiped her hand on the table.
Her dads both half stood up clearly in awe at her sudden outburst.
“Lily sweetheart. Is something wrong?” Her dad asked her.
“You didn’t tell me!” Lily hissed. “All this years. You were thinking about letting me find out from strangers at school. In History of Magic. I understand you two not telling me when I was little but when I got old enough...nine or ten? Why not? You didn’t have to tell me everything. Just something. The important things. Like you are going to do now with Lucius, James and Narcissa after you told me. But it is too late now. I know most of it.”
Lily had carried the four books she found in the library, and the History of Magic book with her downstairs and hidden them, now she dragged them from under the table and put them on the table one by one. Their names were:
“Modern Magical History.”
“The Chosen One – Harry Potter’s memoir”
“The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts.”
“The History of Magic.”
“From Dark to Light – Draco Malfoy’s memoir”
Draco and Harry started at the books in shock.
“But how?” Harry asked
“I heard you fight this morning.” Lily screamed. “I heard you saying things like legendary and how Rose had been reading about you in History of Magic. So when I visited her this morning I forced her to allow me to read the book. Then I found these hidden in the library and read them too.” She looked at her daddy with tears in her eyes and said with a surprisingly much of sarcasm for an eleven year old. “It is a really good feeling, learning about your daddy’s grandparents from a book, that they were murdered, that your daddy was raised by muggle relatives that neglected him and finally when he escaped from them, he found out he was chosen from before birth to defeat the greatest Dark Wizard that ever lived and finally did.” Then she turned to her dad. “Or that your dad was beaten by his father from age seven, brainwashed to believe all Muggle borns were beneath him, forced to join this Voldemort’s Death Eater’s gang and then changing sides, falling in love with your daddy along the side, helping your dad defeating this Voldemort. And before becoming friends you were arch nemesis, that you hated each other.”
Draco, Harry and everyone at the table were flabbergast. The usual smooth talked Draco even didn’t know what to say.
“That is right.” Lily said. “I know everything now. Been reading about it all day.”
“Lily honey we told you that we used to...” Draco started when he got over his shock a little.
“You told me that you used to not get along. There is a long way from that and arch nemesis. From hate. Well I HATE YOU!” Lily screamed and ran to her room.

Dear Diary
“My dads came to my room this morning. They left my alone all evening to calm down. After I went to my room I heard everyone leave and heard my dads talking to Narcissa, Lucius and James. James try to come to my room but dad told him not to. Then I heard him say “But I want to tell Lily that you and daddy are famous.” “She knows baby boy.” Dad then said and sounded sad.
They came this morning and we had a long talk. They told me...everything...their version. Those memoirs were written without their permission so the picture I got with reading them was kind of...distorted. They told me they never wanted all this fame and they didn’t want us kids to grow up with the press constantly following us, so they got it through that the press were to leave them alone while we were with them. But they also told me that when we are not around...then it is like they can barely take a breath without it being on the news. I wouldn’t want that. I have forgiven them.”

Dear Diary.
“I started Hogwarts today. I was sorted into Gryffindor. I know daddy will be pleased but I think dad might be a bit disappointed, he was hoping I would be a Slytherin like him. It isn’t such a bad thing being sorted into Slytherin anymore. My daddy told me it used to be considered the worst house to be sorted in and dad told me it was. But after the war it got better. And now it is just as good as the other houses. My dads were right when they said everyone would notice them, taking me to the train. I got surrounded by people when the train was on its way. But my cousins Rose, Georgia, Molly, Victoire, Dominique, Louis and Fred (Uncle George’s son) helped me. But during dinner they all sat elsewhere and soon I started to talk with a muggle born girl and twin boys who are a little weird but they do seem to like me for me and are nice, so is the girl. The twin boys’ names are Lorcan and Lysander and the girls name is Anne. I think we will all become good friends.”

November 29. 2019
Dear Diary.
“Sometime other people drive me crazy. Well everyone except Anne and the twins. They are my best friends. I still hang out with Rose but she is a year older than me and has her own friends. My other cousins don’t bother me either.
It is the people trying to become my friends because I am Harry Potter’s and Draco Malfoy’s daughter. A lot of people keep asking me about all those stories in the newspaper’s, if those stories are really true. Gossip stories about my dads, usually nasty one’s.
Like today a fifth year Ravenclaw girl came walking up to me holding Witch Weekly. She asked “Is this true Potter?” and showed me the front page. The head line read “Draco Malfoy cheating on Harry Potter with a women?” and the picture showed my dad hugging a women. The picture was really blurred but I recognised the women and couldn’t stop myself from laughing in that stupid girls face and telling her. “No this is a lie. I know that women, that is my dad, Draco’s half sister.” The girl was clearly offended by me laughing at her. “I don’t believe you.” She said. “You are just covering for them, not wanting everyone to know their marriage is falling apart.” I go pretty mad and hissed at her. “If you don’t believe me look it up. You can read about my family in the approved memoirs from my dads that they published this summer.” Then I walked away.
I try to pretend I don’t get mad when people ask my stupid things like this. But I do and I get upset. I should start getting used to this soon. Rose told me when I told her about this, that a day barely goes by without the tabloids publishing some story about my dads cheating on each other, or treating each other badly. She reads the tabloids so she knows. I don’t know unless someone asks me. Which happens regularly now. Last year a lot of people were too shy to ask me about those things but now people are used to me and I can’t go through the day without being asked about something. Drinking problems...drug problems...abuse...cheating...flying drunk...the list keeps going on. And that is not the worst thing.
A week ago Witch Weekly published a story about Narcissa. Where they actually asked the question if she was the illegitimate child of my daddy and aunt Ginny? Like my dad sometimes used to tease him about, but I have already told you that. Dad and daddy went crazy. They had a press conference, for the first time since the war and gave the press the adoption files, where the biological mother of Narcissa is named. She got killed in a flooing accident and was definitely her mother, so the press apologised. But dad told me in a letter, that since I started Hogwart’s and they told all of us siblings, about them being famous, the press has been publishing short stories about us. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy’s children. Mostly basic stuff about who we are with pictures and stuff. But this one was the first bad one. “I think...”, dad said in the letter,”...that since you kids know about our pasts, the press thinks they are free to publish trash stories about you. But my and your daddy are going to prove them wrong.” Then dad sued Witch Weekly for reputation dispatch. That will show them”

“Something really funny happened this morning. I was having breakfast and daddy was helping James having something to eat. All of sudden we heard a scream from upstairs. Dad then came running down the stairs holding something between his fingers. He walked to daddy and showed him something that looked like a hair.“Look what I found Harry.” He said. “A hair?” Daddy asked him. “It is really nothing to worry about.” “IT IS GRAY!” Dad yelled. “I got gray hair.”
“Daddy started laughing and so did we all. Even James whom I am not sure realised what this is about. Then daddy pulled dad down into his lab. “How can you tell? Your hair is so blond.” He asked him. “I just can.” Dad said still sounding upset. Daddy gave him a hug and kissed him firmly which put James, Narcissa and Lucius into a fit of giggles. Then daddy said. “I don’t care if you get gray and wrinkled I still love you. Dad kissed him back but then asked “Wrinkles” and started feeling his face. “I got wrinkles?” Daddy soothed him once again and said “Not yet drama queen.
My dads are so cute together. And according to my friend Anne who is staying with me they are still and now I quote. “Drop dead gorgeous.” I thankfully don’t share that opinion because that would be sick. But I know a lot of people agree with her. They keep getting hit on by complete strangers everywhere we go. Even when they are together. They always get really embarrassed and grab each other hands so people will get they are together. And usually people do. But sometimes they have to get mean to get rid of the most aggressive persons. Like dad said the other day after he told daddy that his assistance in work hid on him. “We have been married for almost 20 years now. If I wanted to cheat on you I would have done it already.”

“My, Anne, Lorcan and Lysander graduated from Hogwarts’ today. Anne and Lorcan also got engaged. They have been planning to for a while but now they went for it. I am happy for them.
I introduced Lysander to my dads. They seemed to like him but they got a weird expression on their faces when I told them his last name. Daddy asked Lysander if Luna Lovegood was his mother and when he said yes their expressions got even weirder. Then dad said “Your mother was a year behind us when we were in Hogwarts. She made quite the impression.” Then he laughed a bit and daddy had to give him a light punch on the arm. They often act immature...they are men after all, but I have hardly ever seen them acting like this. Lysander thankfully wasn’t insulted, he simply said. “Mom has told my and Lorcan about how she was in Hogwarts’ so I understand that you remember her.”Dad and daddy started laughing and daddy said. “I’ve always liked your mom but she is quite the character.” Lysander answered him by saying “You are one talking about characters. You are the Harry Potter and is married to the greatest Minister of Magic Britain has ever known, Draco Malfoy. If anyone are characters then it is you two.” Dad and daddy looked at each other and daddy said “I suppose you are right Lysander.”

They were thrilled although dad complained that he wouldn’t be able to tell everyone he is only thirty when he is a grandfather. Daddy also said I was a little too young. That I was only eighteen. I just told them I had to start early because they had me so late. Then they both laughed and gave me a hug.

“Today I gave birth to a beautiful little baby boy. I named him Sirius Rolf. Sirius was daddy’s godfather that got killed the year daddy got fifteen. Daddy has told me a lot about him and that he always wanted to name one of us kids Sirius but didn’t get the opportunity. And Sirius sounded like such a great guy that I wanted to name my son after him. Lysander agreed. Then we named him Rolf after Lysander’s dad. When daddy and dad came to look at their grandson I told them what I had named him. Daddy started crying when I told him.
Dad has finally retired from being the Minister of Magic after fourteen years and has been moved. He is in charge of a small comfortable office within the Ministry were he can just drop in every once in a while. He loves it. Daddy is now in charge of the Auror’s office. A comfortable desk job, but he still goes along if there will be any action. He likes a little action every once in a while.”

“Great Uncle Remus was buried today. During his werewolf transformation a few days ago he died. He just couldn’t handle it anymore. Despite the Wolfsbane it still took a lot out of him, transforming every month since very young age, his body just gave up. He reached the respectable age of 97. Which is really good for someone with lycanthropes. He was buried in Godric’s Hollow cemetery. A stone away from my grandparents, Lily and James. Daddy and dad had a stone put up there few years ago. In memory of Sirius, dad godfather, since his body disappeared. He is next to my grandparents. Remus is next to Sirius. Daddy said something about Remus managing to live a full life. That he was one of the lucky ones. Not one of those killed before their time. I know he was thinking about his parents and Sirius. Dad hugged him and said. “Now they are all together. The three true Marauders.” He is right. Pettigrew doesn’t deserve to called a Marauder. “I love you mon amour.” Dad then whispered to daddy. “I love you too mon chéri.”

“Today Sirius finally made me a grandmother. I am 55 years old and he is 36. It took him a while to find a wife that could stand his prankster nature. When I told my dads about this they laughed and said it was my fault for naming him Sirius. His namesake was a prankster so the boy was bound to be one too. This means my dads are great-grand fathers. But not for the first time but the fourth. Both Lucius’s and Narcissa’s oldest children have had their one children. Which makes my dads descendants sixteen.
I got a son and a granddaughter. Lucius got twin’s, boy and a girl. And they both have children. Which makes Lucius a grandfather twice at the age of 53. Not fair. Narcissa has three children, two boys and a girl and her oldest son has a son. James has two boys but no grandchildren which is all right since he is only 49. Dad and daddy are thrilled. All their grandchildren and great-grandchildren love them and there is someone visiting them every day. At the age of 82 they are still very lively. They travel outside and inside of Britain. They now live in Malfoy Manor. When grandma Narcissa died last year, outliving her Severus by two years, they moved there and gave me Grimmauld Place. My and Lysander live there now. So does Sirius and his wife and daughter. I am glad that the house stay’s in the family.”

“It was bound to happen sooner than later but nothing really prepares you when death comes. Daddy died today, a natural cause. He almost managed to become 108. Getting high into your 200 isn’t unheard of in the Wizarding World but unfortunately that is more common amongst, as ugly as it is to say, pure bloods. Their pure magic blood prolongs their lives. My daddy wasn’t pureblood. Dad is devastated. He hasn’t stopped crying since he couldn’t wake daddy up this morning. The press has gotten their teethes into this. Publishing articles about daddy’s life. After dad sued them all those years ago the publicity diminished a lot and the tabloids moved on to new targets. They are leaving us alone still. Probably afraid of another law sue. But they are publishing those article’s. Dad told me to allow them to do it in peace as long as they stayed with facts. He then added. “I just wished those articles could have been about both of us not just my beloved Harry.”

Chapter 19 – Epilogue
July 31 2018
“Dear Diary.”
“You were given to me by aunt Ginevra when my birthday was in February. She told me sometime’s it was nice to have someone to be your confident and added that she had made sure you were safe. I don’t know what she meant by that. I haven’t written in you sooner because I really haven’t had anything to say. But now I do. I received my Hogwart’s letter yesterday. I got in. Of course I do have two Wizard’s for dads so why shouldn’t I have gotten in? Oh yes I said two fathers that is right. Maybe I should start by introducing myself? My name is Lily Minerva Malfoy-Potter. I have two brother’s and one sister. I am the oldest, eleven years old since February. My brother Lucius Albus is nine since May. Then my baby sister Narcissa Molly who is seven next month and at last my youngest brother James Arthur who will be five in November. Our fathers are Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. I just found out those names mean a lot in the Wizarding World. Until few hours ago I just thought my daddy, Harry, and dad, Draco, were normal Wizards. That was until I heard them fight when I was going downstairs for breakfast this morning.”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lily Minerva Malfoy-Potter woke up on the morning of her daddy’s 38 birthday. She knew there was going to be a little get together tonight. Nothing fancy since it wasn’t a big birthday but still dinner with the whole family and the closest friends.
“Which means it’s going to be crowded. With aunt Ginny, Uncle Ron their families and everyone” Lily thought as she got dressed and headed downstairs to have breakfast. She had heard her dads going down around half an hour ago so breakfast should be ready. As she came down the stairs and was about to walk into the kitchen she heard her dads speaking loudly to each other, she had never heard them fight before. She knew she shouldn’t eavesdrop but she stopped nevertheless peaked her head so she could see her dads and listened.
They were so busy arguing they didn’t see her.
Dad Draco was pacing on the kitchen floor impatiently, running his hand through his hair frustrated.
“I do not understand why you do not want to tell her Harry.”
Daddy Harry was leaning against the kitchen unit with his arms folded across the chest.
“Because, Draco, she, they all deserve a normal childhood.”
“And they have a normal childhood we have always managed to keep them protected from the press and the madness that is our lives sometimes. She is eleven years old Harry...”
“They are talking about me.” Lily thought “What are they talking about?”
“...she is going to Hogwart’s this fall. She is going to know within hours of stepping on the Hogwart’s express. The kids are going to recognise us on the train station walking her to the train. And someone is going to come and talk to her on the train. And when they know she doesn’t have a clue about whom we are, except her dads, they are going to tell her. Do you want her to find out like this? You found out like that and you were in shock. Do you really want her to start the school like that? You are using the same arguments Dumbledore used about putting you in foster care at the Dursley’s I suppose you want to do that next. So our children will not be raised by wizards. Two men. Imagine that the corruption.” Draco spat.
“That is not fair Draco. I don’t want that and...” Harry sighed. “...I don’t want Lily to find out from stranger whom we are. She knows I am an Auror and that you are the Minister of Magic but I am not sure she realizes what your position means. We should tell her. Tonight. And James, Narcissa and Lucius, we should tell them too. Not the whole gruesome truth but the important things. I’ve been protecting them too much. They need to know something, before anyone else tells them.”
“They are all going to learn the whole gruesome truth when they go to Hogwart’s anyway. The Victory over the Dark Arts is a part being taught now in the History of Magic in first year. Rose told me she was learning about us last year.”
“She was?” Harry asked amused.
“Yeah, apparently the History of Magic book was updated a few years ago, remember when she, Hugo, Hermione and Ron came to dinner during the Christmas break and she was all weird. She was uncomfortable around us. I told her we were still the same Harry and Draco only a bit more...famous.”
Harry snorted. “Yeah...famous, that is an understatement, try legendary.” Harry stood up from the unit and walked to Draco, giving him a hug and a kiss and muttering in his ear.
“I am sorry about what I said mon amour.”
“It is all right mon chéri. All is forgiven. I understand your point of view.”
Lily withdrew herself from the doorway and stood in the hallway with her mouth open for a while. Famous. Legendary. Her dads? What were they on about? She then gathered her thoughts and decided to go to Rose for a visit after breakfast...and get that History of Magic book. She walked into the kitchen and smiled at her dads like nothing was out of the ordinary
“Good morning.” She said happily and took a seat.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I went to Rose after breakfast, diary, and asked her about her History of Magic book. She got all weird and said I shouldn’t read it but I told her I wanted to and told her about what I heard my dads’ say. She gave it to me reluctantly and I read the Victory over the Dark Arts part. And now I know...my daddy is legendary. Like he said. He was destined to kill Voldemort, the greatest Dark Wizard that ever lived. And he did. Dad helped him and he’s quite the legend himself he has done a lot of thing during his six years as Minister of Magic, the youngest Minister of Magic ever by the way. But before that Dad supported that guy Voldemort...but he turned from Him. Then my dads’ fell in love after dad had turned from Him, and got together. And after killing Voldemort they got married and had me. I knew that of course.
Daddy gave birth to me. Wizards can do that, get pregnant by using magic and potions He wanted to do that. But he wasn’t willing to carry another child, told me it was really difficult, guys aren’t built to have children. So my brother Lucius was carried by dad. He wasn’t willing either to carry another child. So James and Narcissa were adopted. But still we all look a bit alike. I’ve got my dad’s straight platinum blond hair and daddy’s emerald eyes. They often say that the boys won’t leave me alone when I get older. Eh... who want boys anyway? Not me. Not yet anyway... but dad tells me I will soon enough. Hope he’s wrong... anyway... Lucius has daddy’s black hair, that always looks like he has been walking through a tornado, and dad’s silver gray-blue eyes. Narcissa looks the least like the rest of us. She’s got red hair and light brown eyes. Dad used to tease daddy about that she was the illegitimate child of his and aunt Ginny until daddy snapped one day and screamed at dad to stop being such a bastard. He would never cheat on him. This is another thing I am not supposed to know. I eavesdrop... a lot... it is a flaw...and I know way too much of things I shouldn’t know. James on the other hand has a blond hair, not platinum blond but normal blond, and blue eyes. Really blue eyes. Both James and Narcissa were adopted from a Wizard orphanage and they have already shown signs of having magic.
But none of us knew. Our dads are famous. I understand why they didn’t tell us about this. Like daddy said. To give us a normal childhood. But I am going to tell them I know about this after Dad get’s home from work. Daddy is having his summer vacation. Dad is too busy to have one, he can have a day and day off but nothing more. Now I understand why. He is the Minister of Magic. Which is the most important job in the Wizarding Britain. Like I said I understand why they didn’t tell my, but I am still not going to act like it didn’t hurt me that they didn’t tell me about this sooner. I am eleven years old for Merlin’s sake, the same age dad was when he met Voldemort the first time. I deserved to know this and I am going to tell them that. Nonight.”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The rest of the day Lily spent reading everything she could about her dads in the History of Magic book, Rose had lent her. She even found some books hidden in the library that had information. Around five o’clock Lily heard her daddy calling her. Lily went downstairs and her daddy was sitting in the living room with James in his arms and Lucius and Narcissa sitting on the floor playing.
“Hi darling.” Her daddy said. “I was wondering if you could help your dad and find Lucius’s dress robes and help him get dressed while I dress James and Narcissa. Could you?”
“Yes daddy I can.” Lily replied. “When is dad coming home?” She then asked wanting to tell her dads she knew sooner rather than later.
“He is coming home around six, bit earlier than usual, and helping me with the dinner. It is going to start around eight so people should start getting here around seven. Although I have to say I am not sure how much help he’s going to be. Never been too good with the cooking.”
“He never had to cook while he crew up. Had he?” Lily asked her daddy. “There used to be houseelves in the Manor that did everything for him, aunt Claudia, Grandma Narcissa and Grandpa Lucius right?”
“That’s right.”
“How many people are coming?”
“Narcissa, Severus and Claudia are coming from the Manor. Molly and Arthur. Ron and Hermione, with Hugo and Rose eh... Ginny with her husband and girl.”
“You mean Georgia?”
“Yes Georgia. Who else? Remus will be here “Wouldn’t miss it” were his words. Bill and Fleur and their three kids are in France so they won’t be here. Charlie will come...solo like usual. Percy is working and his wife and their two children are at her parents. And Fred and George are busy at the shop with their families. So those 13 with us six will make 19 people. So a pretty small party this year.”
“Well we won’t have to move the party to the Manor like when you and dad had your birthday parties joined together when you turned 35.” Lily said smiling a bit.
Her daddy laughed at that memory. “We were crazy thinking we could host nearly a 100 people here in Grimmauld Place. This house is big but not that big. Now go on and get your brother dressed. We need to hurry up.”
“All right daddy.” Lily said and dragged a protesting Lucius behind her up the stairs to get him and herself dressed.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Three hours later all the guests had arrived and everyone were gathered around the big kitchen table at Grimmauld place.
Draco and Harry had moved at Grimmauld Place after Hogwarts’ when it was of no use for the Order anymore and finished fixing it up. Making the place resemble it glory days without all the Dark Arts articles. They usually stayed there all around the year, letting Narcissa, Severus (they had started dating around a year after Lucius’s death and got married two years later) and Claudia (living there with her boyfriend but planning on moving out soon) staying at Malfoy Manor. That too had been cleaned of all Dark Art objects and made more children friendly. “For the grandchildren.” Narcissa had said and Draco had blushed since he and Harry hadn’t discussed children at that point, they didn’t discuss them until seven years later and finally at the age 27 had Lily.
Now the nineteen persons were eating and chatting happily. The kids sitting at one end and the grown ups at another. Grandma Molly and Grandpa Arthur, like Lily called them despite them not being her real grandparents, were happily taking care of their grandchildren, giving the parents a bit of a break. Now Grandma Molly asked Lily a question.
“Your dad told me you got the Hogwarts’ letter yesterday. Are you looking forward to going?” Lily noticed Grandma Molly looked at her dads with a weird look, clearly she did not approve of them not telling her about who they were. She saw that at least her daddy had the good grace of blushing slightly.
“Yes I am Grandma Molly.” Lily said happily. “Dad and daddy have told me a lot about it. I am especially looking forward to learning History of Magic. It is supposed to have gotten a lot better since that ghost quit teaching it. I’m also looking forward to making new friends. I hope people will like me.”
“Oh I don’t think people, not liking you is going to be a problem.” Rose muttered into her soup and Georgia gave her a nudge in the ribs.
“Rose!” Uncle Ron hissed and Lily noticed how the grown ups all tensed a bit and looked nervously at each other.
“They all know.” Lily thought and got angry.”They all know that us, the siblings don’t know about our dads and still no one’s told us. Not even my cousins.” Lily stopped being angry. Instead she got furious. She slammed her spoon down, that she had been holding in her hands and stood up fast, and swiped her hand on the table.
Her dads both half stood up clearly in awe at her sudden outburst.
“Lily sweetheart. Is something wrong?” Her dad asked her.
“You didn’t tell me!” Lily hissed. “All this years. You were thinking about letting me find out from strangers at school. In History of Magic. I understand you two not telling me when I was little but when I got old enough...nine or ten? Why not? You didn’t have to tell me everything. Just something. The important things. Like you are going to do now with Lucius, James and Narcissa after you told me. But it is too late now. I know most of it.”
Lily had carried the four books she found in the library, and the History of Magic book with her downstairs and hidden them, now she dragged them from under the table and put them on the table one by one. Their names were:
“Modern Magical History.”
“The Chosen One – Harry Potter’s memoir”
“The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts.”
“The History of Magic.”
“From Dark to Light – Draco Malfoy’s memoir”
Draco and Harry started at the books in shock.
“But how?” Harry asked
“I heard you fight this morning.” Lily screamed. “I heard you saying things like legendary and how Rose had been reading about you in History of Magic. So when I visited her this morning I forced her to allow me to read the book. Then I found these hidden in the library and read them too.” She looked at her daddy with tears in her eyes and said with a surprisingly much of sarcasm for an eleven year old. “It is a really good feeling, learning about your daddy’s grandparents from a book, that they were murdered, that your daddy was raised by muggle relatives that neglected him and finally when he escaped from them, he found out he was chosen from before birth to defeat the greatest Dark Wizard that ever lived and finally did.” Then she turned to her dad. “Or that your dad was beaten by his father from age seven, brainwashed to believe all Muggle borns were beneath him, forced to join this Voldemort’s Death Eater’s gang and then changing sides, falling in love with your daddy along the side, helping your dad defeating this Voldemort. And before becoming friends you were arch nemesis, that you hated each other.”
Draco, Harry and everyone at the table were flabbergast. The usual smooth talked Draco even didn’t know what to say.
“That is right.” Lily said. “I know everything now. Been reading about it all day.”
“Lily honey we told you that we used to...” Draco started when he got over his shock a little.
“You told me that you used to not get along. There is a long way from that and arch nemesis. From hate. Well I HATE YOU!” Lily screamed and ran to her room.

“My dads came to my room this morning. They left my alone all evening to calm down. After I went to my room I heard everyone leave and heard my dads talking to Narcissa, Lucius and James. James try to come to my room but dad told him not to. Then I heard him say “But I want to tell Lily that you and daddy are famous.” “She knows baby boy.” Dad then said and sounded sad.
They came this morning and we had a long talk. They told me...everything...their version. Those memoirs were written without their permission so the picture I got with reading them was kind of...distorted. They told me they never wanted all this fame and they didn’t want us kids to grow up with the press constantly following us, so they got it through that the press were to leave them alone while we were with them. But they also told me that when we are not around...then it is like they can barely take a breath without it being on the news. I wouldn’t want that. I have forgiven them.”

“I started Hogwarts today. I was sorted into Gryffindor. I know daddy will be pleased but I think dad might be a bit disappointed, he was hoping I would be a Slytherin like him. It isn’t such a bad thing being sorted into Slytherin anymore. My daddy told me it used to be considered the worst house to be sorted in and dad told me it was. But after the war it got better. And now it is just as good as the other houses. My dads were right when they said everyone would notice them, taking me to the train. I got surrounded by people when the train was on its way. But my cousins Rose, Georgia, Molly, Victoire, Dominique, Louis and Fred (Uncle George’s son) helped me. But during dinner they all sat elsewhere and soon I started to talk with a muggle born girl and twin boys who are a little weird but they do seem to like me for me and are nice, so is the girl. The twin boys’ names are Lorcan and Lysander and the girls name is Anne. I think we will all become good friends.”

November 29. 2019
Dear Diary.
“Sometime other people drive me crazy. Well everyone except Anne and the twins. They are my best friends. I still hang out with Rose but she is a year older than me and has her own friends. My other cousins don’t bother me either.
It is the people trying to become my friends because I am Harry Potter’s and Draco Malfoy’s daughter. A lot of people keep asking me about all those stories in the newspaper’s, if those stories are really true. Gossip stories about my dads, usually nasty one’s.
Like today a fifth year Ravenclaw girl came walking up to me holding Witch Weekly. She asked “Is this true Potter?” and showed me the front page. The head line read “Draco Malfoy cheating on Harry Potter with a women?” and the picture showed my dad hugging a women. The picture was really blurred but I recognised the women and couldn’t stop myself from laughing in that stupid girls face and telling her. “No this is a lie. I know that women, that is my dad, Draco’s half sister.” The girl was clearly offended by me laughing at her. “I don’t believe you.” She said. “You are just covering for them, not wanting everyone to know their marriage is falling apart.” I go pretty mad and hissed at her. “If you don’t believe me look it up. You can read about my family in the approved memoirs from my dads that they published this summer.” Then I walked away.
I try to pretend I don’t get mad when people ask my stupid things like this. But I do and I get upset. I should start getting used to this soon. Rose told me when I told her about this, that a day barely goes by without the tabloids publishing some story about my dads cheating on each other, or treating each other badly. She reads the tabloids so she knows. I don’t know unless someone asks me. Which happens regularly now. Last year a lot of people were too shy to ask me about those things but now people are used to me and I can’t go through the day without being asked about something. Drinking problems...drug problems...abuse...cheating...flying drunk...the list keeps going on. And that is not the worst thing.
A week ago Witch Weekly published a story about Narcissa. Where they actually asked the question if she was the illegitimate child of my daddy and aunt Ginny? Like my dad sometimes used to tease him about, but I have already told you that. Dad and daddy went crazy. They had a press conference, for the first time since the war and gave the press the adoption files, where the biological mother of Narcissa is named. She got killed in a flooing accident and was definitely her mother, so the press apologised. But dad told me in a letter, that since I started Hogwart’s and they told all of us siblings, about them being famous, the press has been publishing short stories about us. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy’s children. Mostly basic stuff about who we are with pictures and stuff. But this one was the first bad one. “I think...”, dad said in the letter,”...that since you kids know about our pasts, the press thinks they are free to publish trash stories about you. But my and your daddy are going to prove them wrong.” Then dad sued Witch Weekly for reputation dispatch. That will show them”

“Something really funny happened this morning. I was having breakfast and daddy was helping James having something to eat. All of sudden we heard a scream from upstairs. Dad then came running down the stairs holding something between his fingers. He walked to daddy and showed him something that looked like a hair.“Look what I found Harry.” He said. “A hair?” Daddy asked him. “It is really nothing to worry about.” “IT IS GRAY!” Dad yelled. “I got gray hair.”
“Daddy started laughing and so did we all. Even James whom I am not sure realised what this is about. Then daddy pulled dad down into his lab. “How can you tell? Your hair is so blond.” He asked him. “I just can.” Dad said still sounding upset. Daddy gave him a hug and kissed him firmly which put James, Narcissa and Lucius into a fit of giggles. Then daddy said. “I don’t care if you get gray and wrinkled I still love you. Dad kissed him back but then asked “Wrinkles” and started feeling his face. “I got wrinkles?” Daddy soothed him once again and said “Not yet drama queen.
My dads are so cute together. And according to my friend Anne who is staying with me they are still and now I quote. “Drop dead gorgeous.” I thankfully don’t share that opinion because that would be sick. But I know a lot of people agree with her. They keep getting hit on by complete strangers everywhere we go. Even when they are together. They always get really embarrassed and grab each other hands so people will get they are together. And usually people do. But sometimes they have to get mean to get rid of the most aggressive persons. Like dad said the other day after he told daddy that his assistance in work hid on him. “We have been married for almost 20 years now. If I wanted to cheat on you I would have done it already.”

“My, Anne, Lorcan and Lysander graduated from Hogwarts’ today. Anne and Lorcan also got engaged. They have been planning to for a while but now they went for it. I am happy for them.
I introduced Lysander to my dads. They seemed to like him but they got a weird expression on their faces when I told them his last name. Daddy asked Lysander if Luna Lovegood was his mother and when he said yes their expressions got even weirder. Then dad said “Your mother was a year behind us when we were in Hogwarts. She made quite the impression.” Then he laughed a bit and daddy had to give him a light punch on the arm. They often act immature...they are men after all, but I have hardly ever seen them acting like this. Lysander thankfully wasn’t insulted, he simply said. “Mom has told my and Lorcan about how she was in Hogwarts’ so I understand that you remember her.”Dad and daddy started laughing and daddy said. “I’ve always liked your mom but she is quite the character.” Lysander answered him by saying “You are one talking about characters. You are the Harry Potter and is married to the greatest Minister of Magic Britain has ever known, Draco Malfoy. If anyone are characters then it is you two.” Dad and daddy looked at each other and daddy said “I suppose you are right Lysander.”

They were thrilled although dad complained that he wouldn’t be able to tell everyone he is only thirty when he is a grandfather. Daddy also said I was a little too young. That I was only eighteen. I just told them I had to start early because they had me so late. Then they both laughed and gave me a hug.

“Today I gave birth to a beautiful little baby boy. I named him Sirius Rolf. Sirius was daddy’s godfather that got killed the year daddy got fifteen. Daddy has told me a lot about him and that he always wanted to name one of us kids Sirius but didn’t get the opportunity. And Sirius sounded like such a great guy that I wanted to name my son after him. Lysander agreed. Then we named him Rolf after Lysander’s dad. When daddy and dad came to look at their grandson I told them what I had named him. Daddy started crying when I told him.
Dad has finally retired from being the Minister of Magic after fourteen years and has been moved. He is in charge of a small comfortable office within the Ministry were he can just drop in every once in a while. He loves it. Daddy is now in charge of the Auror’s office. A comfortable desk job, but he still goes along if there will be any action. He likes a little action every once in a while.”

“Great Uncle Remus was buried today. During his werewolf transformation a few days ago he died. He just couldn’t handle it anymore. Despite the Wolfsbane it still took a lot out of him, transforming every month since very young age, his body just gave up. He reached the respectable age of 97. Which is really good for someone with lycanthropes. He was buried in Godric’s Hollow cemetery. A stone away from my grandparents, Lily and James. Daddy and dad had a stone put up there few years ago. In memory of Sirius, dad godfather, since his body disappeared. He is next to my grandparents. Remus is next to Sirius. Daddy said something about Remus managing to live a full life. That he was one of the lucky ones. Not one of those killed before their time. I know he was thinking about his parents and Sirius. Dad hugged him and said. “Now they are all together. The three true Marauders.” He is right. Pettigrew doesn’t deserve to called a Marauder. “I love you mon amour.” Dad then whispered to daddy. “I love you too mon chéri.”

“Today Sirius finally made me a grandmother. I am 55 years old and he is 36. It took him a while to find a wife that could stand his prankster nature. When I told my dads about this they laughed and said it was my fault for naming him Sirius. His namesake was a prankster so the boy was bound to be one too. This means my dads are great-grand fathers. But not for the first time but the fourth. Both Lucius’s and Narcissa’s oldest children have had their one children. Which makes my dads descendants sixteen.
I got a son and a granddaughter. Lucius got twin’s, boy and a girl. And they both have children. Which makes Lucius a grandfather twice at the age of 53. Not fair. Narcissa has three children, two boys and a girl and her oldest son has a son. James has two boys but no grandchildren which is all right since he is only 49. Dad and daddy are thrilled. All their grandchildren and great-grandchildren love them and there is someone visiting them every day. At the age of 82 they are still very lively. They travel outside and inside of Britain. They now live in Malfoy Manor. When grandma Narcissa died last year, outliving her Severus by two years, they moved there and gave me Grimmauld Place. My and Lysander live there now. So does Sirius and his wife and daughter. I am glad that the house stay’s in the family.”

“It was bound to happen sooner than later but nothing really prepares you when death comes. Daddy died today, a natural cause. He almost managed to become 108. Getting high into your 200 isn’t unheard of in the Wizarding World but unfortunately that is more common amongst, as ugly as it is to say, pure bloods. Their pure magic blood prolongs their lives. My daddy wasn’t pureblood. Dad is devastated. He hasn’t stopped crying since he couldn’t wake daddy up this morning. The press has gotten their teethes into this. Publishing articles about daddy’s life. After dad sued them all those years ago the publicity diminished a lot and the tabloids moved on to new targets. They are leaving us alone still. Probably afraid of another law sue. But they are publishing those article’s. Dad told me to allow them to do it in peace as long as they stayed with facts. He then added. “I just wished those articles could have been about both of us not just my beloved Harry.”
