Epilogue: Many years later.

Draco stood with his hands in his pockets, glancing around the platform that was swarming full of people, other witches, and wizards all doing the same thing. The term had come to an end starting the three-week break over Christmas, meaning the cold weather had also set in. Draco drew his cloak tighter around himself and replaced his hands into his pockets. The sound of the Hogwarts Express pulled Draco's attention towards it and he watched as the train came to a stop.

Doors were opened and slowly students starting to disembark from the Express onto the platform. Draco caught sight of the striking blond hair, his son one of the tallest in the crowd due to the fact that he happened to be in his last year. The family resemblance between them was uncanny, if only the same could be said for -

'Dad!'

A small raven-haired girl came running out of the crowd, her face a little flushed with excitement, grinning just like her mother she resembled so much. His twelve-year-old daughter, whose only features so much resembled him was a facial pointed one, everything else she inherited from her mother.

'And how is my little flower?' Draco asked his daughter as she hugged him tightly.

'Dad! I told you not to call me that anymore.' Green eyes glared pointedly at his own, 'I'm twelve, not two.'

How he could deny those green eyes anything, he was outnumbered three to one by them, considering both his children had inherited the exact shape and shade of green colour their mother's eyes possessed.

'Father.'

Draco turned towards his son's voice, he hadn't realised that his son had approached him, and like himself, his son, Scorpius had inherited Veela traits, whereas his daughter, Lily had not. His son stood tall and proud, a lot more confident than when he had left for Hogwarts this year, a pretty mousey brown haired girl, who Draco calculated to be the same age as his son, stood next to his son, smiling a little hesitantly. Piercing blue eyes searched his own. Draco concluded that she had to be the reason his son was more like himself, after all, he had told his parents he was bringing someone home for the holidays.

'Scorpius.'

'This is Adelaide Reyes, father.'

Well, Draco had not been expecting that, as far as he was aware his son could barely stand this girl for he had recognised the name straight away.

'Mr Malfoy.' she greeted with her hand outstretched to shake his own, Draco noticed a glint of gold coming from her wrist, sure enough, it was a bracelet, the same bracelet Draco had made the moment he realised his son would inherit his Veela traits. There was no doubt now Draco had seen it for himself, the girl before him was his sons' compatible match.

'Pleasure to meet you, Miss Reyes.'

A squeal from his daughter caught his attention and the air itself shifted. Draco knew who it was without even looking, and his daughter ran off.

'Should we go after her?' Miss Reyes said looking past Draco's shoulder, to no doubts where his daughter had run off to.

'That will not be necessary,' Draco replied, turning his head as soon as he felt the familiar warmness of Aria's magic. 'Potter you're late!'

Aria merely rolled her eyes at him. 'You try talking to a very stubborn unicorn Malfoy, about taking a tail hair without getting hurt.'

'Scorpius, why is your dad referring to your mum by her previous last name, I'm a little confused by it.' The whispered question attracted both his own and his wife's attention, the girl his son had brought along with him, Adelaide seemed generally surprised and gulped a little. 'Sorry.'

The question had not meant to be for their ears.

'Don't apologise Miss Reyes.' Aria said.

'I -you -er.'

Draco glanced in his wife's direction, how in Merlin's name had she known who the girl standing in front of them was, as far as he was aware they had never had a chance to meet before, and even Draco had been surprised to be finally introduced to the girl his son had been complaining about for years.

'I've remembered every wand I've sold so far. Birch, dragon heartstring core, ten and a quarter inches, slightly supple, excellent for Charms, correct?'

'Mother!' Scorpius hissed. Aria raised her eyebrows at her son.

'Don't mother me or I'll bring out the baby photographs.'

Lily clapped her hands together, 'Do it anyway mum!'

'Shut it you!'

'Scorpius!'

'You owe me ten Galleons.' Aria whispered into his ear, as Scorpius's head tilted downwards, looking not at all happy.

Draco groaned, he should have suspected it, 'I'm not giving you any money, you utter Slytherin. You knew, somehow. I don't care if I can't prove it but I know you, and that smug look on your face Potter, you can wipe it off now.'

Aria burst out laughing.

'Knew what mum?' Lily asked, staring up at both of her parents looking slightly confused.

Aria smiled gently at her, 'That compatible magic is not as complicated as it seems.' Lily frowned, looking a little lost. 'You'll understand when you're a bit older. Let's go home.'

'Best idea you had in a while, love.' Draco said, 'So you going to tell me how you knew or what?'

'Nah,' Aria grinned mischievously, and she turned to their children and Miss Reyes. 'Got everything, good, let's go.'

'You'll get used them.' Scorpius said to Adelaide, 'my family and the extended family.'

'Just how many Malfoys will I be meeting over Christmas?'

'It's not just Malfoys you'll be meeting Miss Reyes,' Draco groaned, 'when my son mentions the extended family, he means all the Weasleys -'

'And Teddy-' Lily said, 'you'll like Teddy though, his cool, unlike Scorp.'

Adelaide giggled, 'I like the sound of him already.'

'Cheers Addey, great help you are.'

'Well someone needs to deflate that ego of yours.'

'You can blame his father for that!' Aria said as they walked through the magical barrier separating platform nine and three quarters from platforms nine and ten of Kings Cross.

'You're just as bad love.' Draco retorted.

'Of course, I am,' Aria said, 'I'm a Malfoy after all.'

Indeed she was, Scorpius groaned and stretched out his hand to take Adelaide's hand, and Draco glanced at his wife, who was looking at their son, with a knowing look on her face, one which reminded him of the time his mother had when she had informed him of her life debt plan. Draco rolled his eyes, somethings he gathered, just like some debts and bonds were just best left alone, just like how Draco would always be indebted to his wife for providing him with a life, he had been gravely concerned that he would never get to have with her. Draco, however, was so grateful that Aria Malfoy had given him that chance.

The End.
