Epilogue

'I bet dad has the new video game I have been asking you for', Albus says to me as we walk along the brick laid pavement towards his father's house. 'I bet he has it all. I bet he –'

'You see this is the reason why I am just giving up and allowing you to go spend the summer with him', I say and I shake my head then sigh. 'You wouldn't stop nagging me about this wouldn't you?'

Albus ruffles his hair reminding me instantly of my ex husband and I can't help but smile. 'Why do you have to marry Dean Thomas? He's not right for you.'

'Hey', I say stopping just outside of our destination to look him in the eyes, 'Albus, I have to choose who is right for me. Someday you will understand but things aren't ever easy to go through with. I know you like him but you're just being difficult because I refuse to allow you to stay permanently with your dad. But what the –'

'...court says I have to do', he says finishing off, 'I know mom I know but I just love Severus more than Dean because he is so nice.'

'Because he spoils you rotten', I say frowning as we walked through the gate and under the arch. 'I dare say, I just hope you don't turn out as gay as your father because –'

'Momm!' he whines tugging at my hand. 'I don't like boys that way. I don't think dad is weird because of that because Severus is a cool guy. But don't say it like that!'

'I was only going to say that you'd break many girls' hearts if you end up being gay, Albus.'

He immediately blushes.

'I will tell your father about Alison who happens to call you twice too many and follows you around like a butterfly seeking out –'

'Momm!'

'Alright I'll just mention that you have a girlfriend then.'

'She's not my girlfriend; she's just a girl who is my friend.'

'That's what they all say', I note as we step up to the door. I reach out to press the buzzer hearing it play a melody somewhere within the big mansion before me.

And that's right. It was a mansion that he lived in now. It had been years since we left each other but I couldn't help but still admit that I loved him through and through. It had been almost fifteen years since he had married Snape...a man once our Professor. And they had still remained in love, terribly in love. I always wanted him to be happy and I had gotten my wish.

'Dad!' Albus exclaims as the dark eye dark dishevelled hair man pulls open the door. He is wearing a pair of green slacks with a white sleeveless vest. He is also wearing a huge ear to ear grin on his handsome face.

'Albus!' he says gleefully and they embrace. His eyes remain on me. 'Ginny, how are you?'

I stepp in and around him to enter the hallway. 'I'm good Harry.' I kiss him quickly on his cheek. 'As promised he's here and all yours. He can't wait to check out your video games collection.'

'Dad', Albus says on cue, 'do you have the newest version to - ?'

Harry frowns then beckons towards the living room. 'Why don't you go check it out?'

My little son disappears instantly as soon as Snape steps into the hallway from a side door that leads to the kitchen. He is wiping his hands on a red and white checker towel. Our eyes meet and notice that he is allowing his hair to grey out giving him an old yet sleek look. There are wrinkles around his dark eyes as he surveys me with a smile and I cannot help but feel warm and welcome.

'Professor', I say walking towards him.

'You haven't gotten over referring to me as Professor, have you Ginny?' he asks as we embrace.

'Imagine that she hugs you and has past me straight since she came in', Harry says from behind me. I turn to face him, sticking my tongue out.

'Jealous?'

'Oh no, no', he says smiling.

'Professor, how did the appointment go?' I ask as we step through the house and towards the outside balcony directly after the living room. My eyes rest on Albus who is flipping through Harry's video games collection and I smile.

We settle ourselves on lounge chairs as Snape turns to smile at me. 'There is good news.'

'Dear God', my eyes fly open, 'you don't mean...'

'Somehow', Harry picks up, handing me a glass of juice. I pass on him adding Vodka. 'The surgery proved to be more than successful. After a few year since he received the surgery, the cancer hasn't showed up again.'

'Wow', I say smiling instantly.

Birds chirp somewhere in the trees that surround the mansion and my thought move to picture Harry and Snape walking along the grounds hand in hand. There is a pathway that leads down a cut in the trees and I wonder if it leads to a lake or something where they'd spend their times together. I didn't feel jealous but what I did feel was as if somehow I had failed him. Whenever I'd voice that concern to him he'd reassure me that it was always Snape and he still loved me as much but I shouldn't think that it was my fault. We were best friends but...well now I had Dean so.

'If I can remember correctly Harry', I now say as I watch him throw a warm glance at Snape, 'I once told both of you that I got wonderful advice from Lupin years ago. I can remember him saying that love cures anything. Love is unstoppable and here is proof of it. Since you two have hooked up just look at what has happened. The cancer is gone and you now are both living such a wonderful life here together.'

'I remember him telling me that once', Snape says frowning. 'Yes it was him who told me that I must find back Harry to heal me.'

'So when's the children going to come?' I ask all of a sudden and they both stare at me. 'The little ones...the babies...?

'I...well we planned to adopt but for now I have Albus so...'

'You should adopt', I say now resting my glass down and getting up. 'I have to meet Dean down town to grab lunch. I would love to stay but...'

'You always leave just when we are getting into a nice conversation', Snape says frowning. 'Do come back sometime sooner than the end of summer.'

'I will', I say as they get up to walk me out. And when I was at the door I turn to Snape then lean in. 'Do me a favour and go slow on spoiling the little devil that is within your living room will you?' I ask of him and he laughs. 'I just can't keep up with your rate of showering him with gifts and love.'

He ruffles my hair that I had cut into a pixie cut recently. 'I will try.'

Kissing Harry lightly on his cheek and finally giving him the hug I make my way out of the house and away from them.

Thanks you
