Who Woulda Thunk It?

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in the Harry Potter universe, but I do own Alexia and all of the children.

Author's note: Okay, I've decided to do both an epilog and a sequel do to everyone requesting the former. I have an idea of what I want to do, but I'm not certain. The epilog takes place the summer before the twins start Hogwarts, and I'm thinking the sequel will take place, like, five years later. It will center around the kids a bit and around Hermione and George having to re-find the reason they're together. Anyway, that's what I've come up with so far. If you have any ideas, email me at [email protected]

Toodles for the last time, I promise, until the sequel,

Epilog: Eleven years later.

            Thirty-seven year old Hermione Granger sat in the middle of Diagon Alley eating a huge sundae that even her garbage disposal of a friend, Draco would have trouble eating. The sky was bright and blue and she was sharing the sundae with four of her children; Katherine, Elizabeth, Gwenevieve, and Alexander. Her best friend Alexia was at her side feeding her four month old daughter Faith.

            The two women joked and laughed as they recalled some of their funnier moments. Hermione looked up as she heard two cries of, "Mum!" She smiled as she saw the twins, Jessica and Jonathan.

            "Oh mum, look what dad got me." Her beautiful red haired, honey eyes daughter held up an orange kitten that was asleep in her arms.

            "Oh Jess, that's so cute. He reminds me of my old cat Crookshanks."

            The kitten looked p like it knew they were talking about it, and yawned. There was a round of Awws.

            "Kitty!"  Hermione smiled at her four year old daughter Gwen.

            "No, her name is Angel. Mum, why can't first years have brooms? I want to try out for the quidditch team."

            Hermione shook her head in amusement at her daughter's love for the wizarding game. "Sorry, sweetie, but it's the rules. It's for muggleborns who don't know how to fly." Jessica pouted, Hermione just grinned. "You'll get over it."

            Jessica rolled her eyes and took a seat next to her little brother. A tall blonde boy came up behind her and squeezed her shoulders. Her eyes lit up and she turned around with a cry of, "Will!"

            The blonde grinned. "Hi Jess." He sat down next to her and they became immersed in quidditch talk.

            Hermione shared a look with Alexia and rolled her eyes. She looked up again to see her brown haired, blue eyed son, who was a bit shyer than his sister. "Hi, Jon, what did dad get you?"

            Jonathan looked up at his mother and smiled, holding up his new book, a copy of Hogwarts: A History. Hermione beamed at her bookish son. He definitely took after her. "I was going to get two books, but I realized that the Hogwarts library is extensive and I can probably find most books there." He kissed Hermione on the cheek and sat down by Katie.

            Another blonde came up behind Alexia and kissed her and Faith. "Howdy girls and guys."

            "Hi Draco."

            "Hi Uncle Draco."

            "Hi dad."

            He smiled. "Christian is coming, he's with George." As soon as he said it, another blonde boy walked up to the table and took a seat next to Jon.

            "Hi everyone. Hey Jonathan, look what dad got me." Jonathan, as well as everyone, looked up to see Christian hold up an owl cage with an eagle owl inside.

            Jonathan smiled. "Cool, I was going to get an owl but I'd rather have this instead. I can just use a school owl, or yours."

            Christian smacked him and the boys laughed and got into a conversation about what it would be like at Hogwarts.

            Hermione gave Draco a questioning look. "I thought you said he was with George?"

            Draco shared her look. "He was." Then he looked behind her and smiled.

            George leaned down from behind his wife and gave her a kiss. "Hi beautiful. How are you and baby doing?" He reached down and patted her pregnant baby.

            Hermione gave him a special smile. "Good, dreading that the twins are going, but good. Too bad I have to take maternity leave. I love working at Hogwarts."

            George smiled and squeezed her shoulder reassuringly. "Hey, you get to work with Severus again, just like last time. And it won't be like you won't be seeing them for Christmas."

            Hermione nodded. "I know; I'm just worried about all the trouble they can get into. They are, after all, your kids."

            George shared a grin with Draco. "I know. But they're going to be the first Weasleys there though, so they won't be in too much trouble."

            Hermione nodded again. "Except for Jessica, we'll have to worry about her and Will. Oh, speaking of Weasleys, we need to get to dinner."

            Everyone stood up and grabbed their purchases. "Okay guys; let's go floo to the burrow. Stay together and Gwen, hold daddy's hand. Now, let's get moving."

            The group started walking. They were joined by Severus as he came out of his shop. Hermione walked behind a bit and watched her extended family. She thought about how lucky she was to have each and everyone of them in her life. She briefly remembered the day that had triggered everything, leading to now.         

            "Hermione, are you okay?" Hermione nodded her head and looked up at the faces of her family.

            "Yeah, everything's absolutely perfect."
