Epilogue:
Rearing their family, sorting through gifts, making their house a home, juggling babies and visitors was never easy for them, but they did eventually get into a routine that did not include dependence on their ‘parents’ or friends. Draco did summon a majority of the family’s house-elves from the Manor to help with cleaning and laundry. The cooking was split between the elves, goblins, mushing food for the babies and take out.
They were also granted full adoption of Albus. The Wizengamut had asked that he be allowed to return to his place of position when he came of age.
Six months after they moved home, everyone else moved out. The goblins were finally reduced to eight, two for each baby, and were given the attic as a room for rest. Three months after that, Garen asked that the protectors be allowed to have their families with them. The Malfoy house elves were not pleased, but after a short instruction session, they agreed to simply live in peace or be given clothes.
January of the following year, they both sat for and passed their N.E.W.T.’s. Harry and Draco both wanted to do correspondence courses for business, to prevent anyone from ever being able to embezzle monies from them again. Garen was proud of their progress and helped by becoming their personal liaison regarding Gringott’s, which was unheard of at any point in history.
The Wizengamut also gave Harry rights to all the wealth that Grindelwald had acquired.
Harry and Draco put that money into a trust fund that Remus and Severus would dole out for orphanages around the world. The money, without accrued interest, would last long after the death of Harry and Draco’s great-grandchildren.
They were also awarded the wealth from the deeded estates, which had been accruing from the Wizards who had passed without heirs. That money was put away in a separate vault with precise records, just in case heirs were ever found. After ten years, only two estates had been returned to their rightful owners.
Harry, in those first six months, ever worried over the safety of his children, bought every house surrounding Grimmauld Place. They surrounded themselves with family and friends. As Sirius had no desire to return to GP to live, instead taking one of the other homes Harry had purchased. Sirius did not settle down until many years later and it was with Charlie Weasley.
Ron and Hermione eventually moved into one, and after their quiet marriage, their children were born. Ginny and Dean moved into one, and while Seamus was welcome, he did not often go near Harry as Draco and Ron still watched him closely.
One home went to Remus and Severus. Molly and Arthur agreed to take a home near their grandchildren, which were coming at an almost alarming rate.
Narcissa simply stayed at Number Twelve and enjoyed her time with her son, son-in-law, and grandchildren.
One year after the babies’ birth, Harry and Draco were bonded in a ceremony attended by only their closest friends. It took place in the center park of Grimmauld Place, which Harry now owned as well.
Harry and Draco found their way through the storms that threatened them and their children to find the family, peace, and love they both craved.
Ten years after their bonding ceremony, the men stood in the back with the other parents of that year and status and watched as Albus, Bevan, Cadhia, and David were sorted. Their other children, Evan, 9; Falon and Geoffrey, both 7; Halwell, 5; and Ireland, 3 were with Hermione and Ron. Harry was sure that there would not be a roof when they returned that evening.
Albus was sorted into Gryffindor, which didn’t surprise anyone who knew him. Although he grew at the rate of a normal human, he remembered bits and pieces of his life as a Phoenix and before that of his life as a man. However, he refused to dwell on it. He treated it, instead, as a series of dreams from which he could learn. He did have a talent for Potions, however, and worked with Professor Snape when he was just seven years old to recreate the final potion for Lycanthropy Reversal.
Remus Lupin had been given full rights as a Wizard and allowed to take a place of honor on the Wizengamut. He filled in for Draco as chair for several committees while Draco spent time with his family. Remus and Severus were bonded one year after he was granted the right to do so. They spent their lives watching the children they loved grow up, tutoring them with all their knowledge, and always loving one another.
Bevan was sorted into Slytherin. She was by far the most secure of the children. Her stunning blonde hair and green eyes always looking for a way to be safe and happy.
Cadhia was a Ravenclaw through and through. She loved her books and learning. Her looks, which were identical to her sister except for her glasses, somehow made it odd to see. As they grew, it was as though it were two sides to a mirror.
David was a Hufflepuff, which would have at one time made Draco’s eyes roll into his head. But as Draco had learned more about Helga he found that her loyalty to her family and friends was something of which to be proud.
Their lineage, by blood and adoption, made these four children the hope of the future. And if one of them didn’t do great things in their life, it was fine by their parents. After all, between Harry, Draco and the ten years that had passed since their bonding, there were other children at home waiting to be sorted.
When Draco got home that evening, thanked Hermione and Ron for watching the children so they could go to Hogwarts, put the children to bed and laid down with his husband, he found out that there would be another one to added to their brood.
His last words that night?
“I believe we should buy stock in that new condom manufacturing company, Love.” Just before he was kissed on the forehead and put out the lights.
********AUTHOR'S NOTE***********
With the completion of this story, I have made several new friends, not only Betas, as you know I adore them: Samayel, WV Sailor, and Dawn.
But the reviewers with whom I seemed to be able to keep a running dialogue. (is that spelled right?). Because of you, this story has the potential to be in the top ten ever reviewed stories on HPFandom. At the time this was posted, this story had over 400 incredible reviews. I still think that the reviewers of this story are the most amazingly intelligent readers anywhere on the net.
If you have read this and not left a review, please take a moment to do so. With almost 2,000 readers, I would like to think that there are more people out there who liked this one.
Thank you for joining me on this journey.
