Ch 25: Falling into Place

An Epilogue

Hermione and Draco fell into a routine of school, work and taking care of their child. They grew closer to the Weasley family, who all (with the exception of Ron) were very accepting of them. Harry visited frequently with small gifts for Scorpius and stories for his friends. Hermione finished her schooling via owl and floo and started working in the Ministry office of Magical Cooperation a few months after Scorpius turned one year old. Draco got the job he had applied for at the Ministry of Magic as an Unspeakable and supported his small family while Hermione finished up her schooling.

Molly took care of the child while Hermione and Draco worked, and he was the ring bearer at Harry and Ginny's wedding. Soon after he turned two, Hermione discovered that she was with child once again and she and Draco planned for the arrival of their daughter, Aurora Cyanne. The two Malfoys made a good living and much to Draco's surprise, were left everything that the Malfoy's owned after Narcissa died. Lucius had been kissed by the Dementors and was incapable of stopping them from receiving the fortune. Draco sold off his parents' manor however and put the money in a trust for his children.

Ginny and Harry became parents on the day that Hermione gave birth to her third child. James Sirius Potter and Sophia Wilde Malfoy were best friends from the beginning. Ginny and Harry continued breeding, bringing Lily Luna Potter and Albus Severus Potter into the world. Hermione and Draco were pleased to find out that they were expecting once again when Scorpius was seven. Thaddeus Brian and Augustus Nathan Malfoy arrived nine months later to complete the set.

Ron and Harry both worked as aurors until retirement at ripe old ages. While Ron never fully forgave Draco for their childhood, he did come to be on speaking terms with the Malfoy family and he, Harry and Hermione did rekindle their bond. He married Luna Lovegood and together they added Hugo Bilius, Romulus Xeno and Ares Leigh to the Weasley Brood. Romulus and Sophia got on rather well which brought them closer still.

Percy married Penelope Clearwater and fathered Champane Vera and Darwin Alexander Weasley. He once again became undersecretary to the minister and worked his way up to becoming the first Weasley in a long time to be Minister of Magic. Both his parents were extremely proud.

Bill and Fleur had three children, Victoire, Dominique and Louis and stayed close to home so Bill could continue working in London for Gringotts. Charlie opened up a dragon reserve in Wales where he met and fell in love with a fellow dragon tamer named Claire. He and his dark haired wife produced Phoenix, Rupert, Natalie, and Fabian Weasley.

George Weasley was a huge success in business and was thought to ignore the principal of love. Most thought he would never settle down after his close scrape with Katie Bell who later married Lee Jordan. Everyone except Fred was a bit surprised when he came home for Christmas one year with an Irish Muggle called Mary whom he had eloped with a few days before. He fathered Fred II, Jade, Morgana, Michael, September, Leonidis and Sidinoel-twins.

Fred Weasley, just as successful as his brother, though not as secretive about his romantic life, married Angelina Johnson and, not to be outdone, fathered Galaxia and Iris (twins), George II, Taryn, Finneaus, Eric and Rolf. He and his brother were celebrities for the rest of their lives.
