Authors note: Sadly I own nothing of the Harry Potter realm...*Sigh* All contents, save the plot, belong to the lovely J.K. Rowling. This is a sequel to the song-fic 'Precious Choices'. It will make more sense if you read the previous story first.

This is the final chapter! I was debating on whether or not to post this but I decided that I wanted to!

So here is it! Keep in mind, the first part of this chapter takes place 5 years after the previous chapter.

Chapter 16 – Super Epilogue – All Grown Up

Rose Marie Potter sat on her mother's couch exactly a year after her graduation from Hogwarts, looking through pictures from said graduation. She reminisced over her years at Hogwarts while she did this. From her first through fifth years, her and Sirius Potter were at each others throats 24/7. A dance during their sixth year changed that.

It was a masquerade ball and she had ended up dancing with a very attractive and funny Prince. She was dressed as a Greek Goddess with a white flowing dress with gold accents. They danced through the night and when Headmistress McGonagall instructed everyone to take their masks off, she found her dance partner to be none other than Sirius Lee Potter. She had immediately walked away.

Sirius stood there, dumbstruck, until he finally chased after her. He told her that he had had feelings for her for quite some time now. She denied him for weeks. One day, after classes were finished for the day, Rose headed down to the lake to sit by her favorite tree and read. Sirius came up a few moments later and sat down. He didn't talk, he didn't try to touch her, he just sat with her while she read. She watched him out of the corner of her eye. He looked… peaceful. He always seemed so stressed out.

And that is when she realized that she was in love with Sirius. They'd married straight out of Hogwarts. Rose smiled and rubbed her rounded stomach as she pulled out a picture of her and Sirius on their graduation day. He had his arms around her and was kissing her cheek repeatedly. It was really quite cute. She struggled to get up off the couch to ask her mum if she had a frame that would fit the picture.

As she was getting up, Rose clutched her stomach in pain and fell back onto the couch.

"Mum!" She yelled. Hermione Malfoy came running into the room, followed closely by her husband, Draco Malfoy.

"What-Oh! Draco get a hold of Harry, Ginny and Sirius. And your parents." Hermione said. She went over to her daughter and helped her into the fireplace to floo to St. Mungo's.

"Mum! The bag!" Rose reminded her. Draco tossed the overnight bag to Hermione and they flooed away to St. Mungo's.

Draco paced up and down the hall with Harry Potter. It had been hours since Rose was admitted. Hermione and Sirius had been allowed in the room. But the nervous Grandfathers were left out in the hall.

Finally, the door opened and Harry and Draco immediately halted and looked up.

"Is she okay?" Draco asked, as his wife stepped out of the room. Hermione smiled brilliantly.

"Rose is fine. Sirius is nervous. And their daughter is perfectly healthy. Rose is sleeping and Sirius will bring Emmaline out in a few minutes." Hermione explained. She walked over to Draco and wrapped her arms around his waist. "We're grandparents, Draco."

"I know." He replied, laughing.

"How does it feel?" Lucius asked, walking down the hall towards them. Narcissa walked beside him, followed by Dean, Lucas, Celeste and Tommy.

"It makes me feel old!" Draco laughed.

"Can we see the baby, mum? What did they name her? Is Rosie okay?" Celeste asked.

"Sirius is bringing the baby out in a few moments. They named her Emmaline. And everyone is doing fine other than being frazzled and tired." Hermione told her. Everyone turned towards the door as it was being pushed open. Sirius stepped out holding a pink bundle. At this age, Sirius strangely looked just like his name sake, Harry's godfather, with shaggy black hair and brown eyes.

"Who wants to hold her?" Sirius asked, laughing. Hermione darted forward and carefully lifted the baby from Sirius's arms. Hermione cooed over the baby and Draco came up behind her to watch over her shoulder. Little Emmaline looked exactly like her mother. She had curly, dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.

"No hogging our grandchild. It's my turn." Ginny said, taking the baby. Sirius stepped out of Rose's room.

"Hey dad?" Draco and Harry both looked over. "Sorry. Draco. Rose is awake. She wants you." Draco nodded and strode into the room and over to his oldest daughter.

"Hello, love." Draco said, kissing her forehead.

"Hey dad." Rose said, smiling. "How is Emmaline?"

"Oh baby." Draco sighed. "She's perfect." Rose nodded and then looked away. "What's wrong princess?" Rose laughed softly.

"I'm not a princess anymore, daddy."

"You are to me." He replied.

"I'm scared." Rose finally admitted.

"What? Why?" Draco asked, confused.

"What if I'm not a good mother? What if Sirius gets tired of me and Emmaline grows up hating me?"

"Why would you think that?" Draco asked.

"I don't know if I'm ready for this, daddy." Rose said, a tear slipping down her cheek. Draco sat on the edge of his daughters bed and pulled up into a hug. Rose sobbed into his chest.

"Now you listen to me Rosie." Draco said, kissing the top of her head. "You learned how to be a mother from Hermione. Was she a good mother to you?" Rose nodded. "Then you will be too. Emmaline could never really hate you. You're her mother. Your mother wasn't ready when you were born either. But she did a pretty good job with you. And then again with Dean and Lucas. As for Sirius, well, he seems to care about you a great deal. And if he ever hurts you, I'll take care of him." Rose laughed and pulled away.

"Thank you, daddy."

5 Years Later

"You may now kiss the bride." Minister Kingsley announced. Aldo pulled on Celeste's hand, pulling her closer to him and pressed his lips to hers. Draco clapped Blaise on the back.

"Guess we're really family now, huh?" Draco said. Blaise laughed.

"I guess so." The friends walked in to Malfoy Manor to get to the dinning room for the reception. Draco rounded a corner and nearly ran into his daughter in law and new granddaughter.

"My apologies Alice." He said immediately. "Is everything alright?" Ron and Luna's daughter looked up at him with wet eyes.

"Bella won't stop crying!" She exclaimed, holding up her month old daughter.

"Where is Lucas?" Draco asked, referring to his son, her husband.

"I don't know! I came in to try to find him!" Draco took his granddaughter from her arms gently and rocked Bella back and forth. Issabella immediately quieted down. Tommy walked passed them and Draco grabbed the back of his robes.

"Tommy, go find your brother." He said.

"Which one?" Tommy asked.

"Lucas." Tommy nodded and headed upstairs.

"Draco!" He nearly toppled over as his wife ran into him.

"Yes, love?" He said patiently.

"Our children are growing up!" She sobbed. Draco chuckled. He placed his finger under her chin.

"Love, you do this everytime one of our children get married. You did it with Rose and Sirius, Lucas and Alice, Dean and Danielle. Now Celeste and Aldo. You need to get used to this. Our children are growing up." Hermione buried her head in her husbands chest and shook her head vigorously.

"They were supposed to stay little forever…" She mumbled into his chest.

"But now we have grand children." Draco pointed out. Hermione slowly lifted her head.

"I suppose you're right. I do love grandchildren."

8 years later

"MUM? DAD?" Tommy yelled, slamming the front door of the manor open.

"What is it, Tommy?" Hermione asked, poking her head out of the sitting room.

"Mia is pregnant!" He said grinning ear to ear. Hermione squealed like a five year old at Christmas.

"That's great news! Tibby?" She called. A house elf appeared in front of her and bowed. "Could you tell Draco to come down to the sitting room please." The little elf nodded and Apperated away. "Oh, your father will be thrilled." She told her son.

"Tommy! What a pleasant surprise." Draco gave his son a hug. "What brings you here?"

"Mia is pregnant." Tommy told him.

"Already? How long have you two been married?"

"Over a year, dad. Besides, mum had Rosie, Dean and Lucas before you were married." Draco laughed.

"I know, son. Congratulations."

5 Years Later

"Happy Christmas, Mum!"Celeste yelled, coming into the Manor.

"Happy Christmas, sweetie." Hermione said, walking out of the ball room.

"Grandma!" Elizabeth yelled, running towards her.

"Hello, Lizzy. Happy Christmas." Hermione laughed. "Come on in. Everyone is in the ball room. We're just waiting for Tommy, Mia and the kids. Where's Aldo?"

"He's meeting his father in Diagon Alley for a drink and then they will both be here." Celeste said, leading her daughter into the ball room. It was decorated in green, red, silver and gold. The scene before her made her burst into laughter. Draco sat on the floor next to the tree. Jazlynn, Rose and Sirius' youngest daughter of three, sat in his lap, facing him, with her arms around his neck. She was yelling at Nicole, Deans youngest daughter of three, with his wife Danielle, who was standing behind him with her arms also around his neck.

"He's my papa!" Jazlynn yelled.

"NO! Mine!" Nicole yelled back.

"He love's me more!"

"Nu uh! Me!"

"Girls!" Hermione yelled. "Get off your grandpa!"

"Let the children have their fun, Mia." Narcissa said, gliding into the room. Lucius walked behind her, leaning on his cane. It made Hermione sad to see her father in law so old and frail. Though they were almost the same age, him at 89 and her at 86, Narcissa seemed much more younger than her husband. Draco shook his grand-daughters off and stood up, smoothing his now almost white hair back into place.

"Hello, love." He said, kissing Celeste on the cheek.

"Hey, dad."

"How's the baby?" Draco asked, patting her slightly rounded stomach.

"Good." Celeste replied. "Three months along. Aldo and Blaise will be here-"

"HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!" Tommy yelled, striding into the room. Everyone chorused back to him. His wife Mia came in after him holding their five month old son, Patrick, and their daughters Emily and Miranda followed behind her. They were five and three, respectfully. Moments later, the fireplace burst into flames and Blaise slid out, followed by his son Aldo.

"Great! Now that everyone is here, we can get started with dinner." Hermione said. They all sat down at the table that was set up in the corner. Draco sat at the head of one table, while Lucius sat at the head of the other. Hermione and Narcissa each sat to the left of their husbands. Hermione and Draco's children, along with their partners, children, and their partners parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, all choose a seat as food began appearing on the table.

"So, Harry. How are the Aurors doing?" Draco asked, looking pointedly at Dean and Lucas, who were telling jokes to anyone who would listen. Harry chuckled.

"They're doing quite well actually. Everyone greatly appreciates their healing powers." Harry replied.

"Yeah, dad!" Dean and Lucas chorused. "Everyone loves us!" Their wives, Danielle and Alice, smacked them on the backs of their heads in perfect sync and their children burst into laughter. Everyone broke into conversations of their own and Draco leaned over to Hermione to whisper in her ear, tucking a brown, grey streaked curl behind it as he did so.

"So, Mrs. Malfoy. Is this the life you wanted?" He asked, smirking.

"No." Hermione said, hiding a smile. Draco frowned. "It's so much better than the life I wanted." Hermione smiled softly and kissed his cheek. He smiled and stood up, clinking his spoon against his glass. Everyone quieted down and turned to face him.

"I'd like to make a toast." He announced. "If someone had told me 47 years ago that on my 66th Christmas I would be sitting at Malfoy Manor eating dinner with the Golden Trio, five children, and ten grandchildren, all of whom I shared with Hermione Granger, I probably would have sent them to my father to have them put out of their misery." Everyone chuckled and glanced at Lucius, who wore a rare smile. "This isn't the life that Hermione or I pictured, separately or together. It's much better. We have five amazing children, all of whom are happily married and have given us a total of ten grandchildren, with more on the way." He nodded to Celeste, Rose and Alice. "One thing I have learned in my 66 years is to never take a choice for granted. Everything happens for a reason and every choice that you make can change your life. Even a choice as simple as deciding what shirt to wear that day. As a wise man once said "The consequences of our actions are so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed." He was right. Because I'm certain that, as I stand here now, every choice I have ever made has made me who I am now. I am a son, a husband, a father, and a grandfather. A lifetime of choices brought me here, to this very moment, and I couldn't be happier." Draco sat down and griped his wife's hand. He meant every word he said. As he looked around at his family, he smiled. Here was real happiness, real love.

He watched his wife talk animatedly with their oldest daughter and Harry. She glanced over and smiled at him. Merlin, how he loved her. Even after 46 years of marriage he loved with every beat of his heart, and the sex was never boring.

And to think, he owed all of his happiness to her. The bushy-haired, Gryffindor bookworm that he used to torment in Hogwarts.

As he stared off into space, he thought about how funny life was. He remembered a quote from a muggle telly show that Hermione had insisted he watch called Doctor Who. He now completely agreed with the quote. It went something like: "The universe is vast and complicated. And sometimes, impossible things just happen – and we call them miracles." And my life? It was just that. A miracle founded by… A Lifetime Of Choices.
