Epilogue

"Noah Leon Potter get down here this instant! We have to leave soon!" Hermione Potter shouted up the stairs.

"He probable lost Almira's picture." Lily chuckled as she made fun of her eldest brother. Hermione looked over to the couch where Lily, James, Zackary, and Nathan could be seen laughing at their brother. Hermione sighed and walked to grab her coat. But she never made it to the closet before she was grabbed from around the waist and pulled into the strong embrace of her husband.

"Where do you think you're going?" Harry whispered teasingly. Hermione chuckled and turned and kissed her husband.

"Eww!" Twins Hailey and Hadley made faces as they watched their parents.

"Ha!" Noah's triumphant cry came from upstairs. "Found it."

"Told you so." Lily smirked and held out her hand for the gallon coming from James. Noah ran down the stairs carrying the picture of Almira Malfoy, the eldest child of Draco and Marie Malfoy.

After that kiss on the dreadful day of Ron's trial Harry and Hermione had gone on to date for three months before the boy finally popped the question. It was later discovered that Hermione was already pregnant with not one child, now two children, but three: Noah, Lily, and James. These three children became known as the 'Torturous Trio' and it was a wonder that the three had been sorted into Gryffindor. The three looked just like their father all with black untamable hair and emerald eyes. But unlike their father they held off the charts IQ's (which they had gotten from their mother). Sadly (much to Hermione's disappointment) every single one of her children had inherited their father's love for pranks. It was a good thing that their father was the headmaster or they would have been out of Hogwarts by now.

It hadn't been more then three months after the birth of the triplets that Hermione once again fell pregnant with Zackary. The 16 year old boy had a soft heart and was kind to all those around him. But he too had his mother's IQ and his father's love for pranks. But the witty Ravenclaw had learned that it was better to be the one behind all the evil schemes.

One year later came Nathan. The cunning little monster was every bit a Slytherin. The boy had the skills of a snake. He could out wit anyone and always knew exactly how to get what he wanted. Sadly the boy had inherited his father's horrid temper but it seemed that Ashley Longbottom (daughter of Neville and Ginny Longbottom) loved him even more for his temper.

Seven years later Hermione gave birth to Hailey and Hadley Potter. The small nine year olds were the little princesses at Hogwarts. They were loved by everyone and were known for patrolling the halls with their mom.

Hermione rested her hand on her stomach and smiled to herself. She had two more on the way. Natalie and Benjamin Potter they had decided.

Harry smiled at his wife and their large family. She had given him everything he could ever hope for.

----

The moment that family arrived at Platform 9 ¾ Noah and James rushed off to find their girlfriends Almira and Alice Malfoy, Lily went off in pursuit of her boyfriend Dimitri Nott (son of Theodore and Astoria Nott), Zackary was attacked by Larissa Scamander, and Nathan grabbed Ashley and held her closely to him. As Marie and Draco made their way over to their friends dragging three miniature Dracos behind them. Alexander, William, and David immediately began to play with their best friends Hailey and Hadley.

As Harry watched everything around he remembered that day he had received the invitation to become Hogwarts next headmaster. Inside he thanked McGonagall a million times over because without her he would not have Hermione or his wonderful family. Maybe fate didn't hate him as much as he thought it had.
