A small epilogue and thus the conclusion of Spirits Bound

Reviews please

Barely a month after Luna and Rolf gave their gift to Hermione, Minerva and the brunette married. They had a quaint little wedding with the Weasley's the Longbottom's and the Scamander's along with the Hogwarts staff and surviving members of the order. They chose not to have a bridal party and instead just settled for a small ceremony by the Black Lake. Narcissa made most of the plans and organised the place and time as well as the invitations.

When it was all said and done they ate and danced with friends before being surprised by Bill and Fleur with a three day honeymoon to Paris. They had also been given a few different books though most people looked rather sour about their gifts. What do you by to like minded, extremely intelligent and powerful witches that don't need anything? Books. Bloody books...

When the reception was over Fleur and Bill left with the married couple apparating them directly to the hotel they would be staying in. Once they were checked in the Weasley's left the newly weds too it. Minerva was a little curious about clothes for the next few days accept when they got to their room there were two small trunks in the middle of the living area with a note on top. Hermione walked over and picked up the note and opened it.

"Books, clothes, Our gift. Enjoy.

Narcissa and Katie." The brunette read aloud as Minerva, in her cream pants and flowing blouse, wrapped her arms around her new wife.

"I wonder what they got us." Minerva inquired over her loves shoulder.

"I bet a night just for your pleasure that it's lingerie of some sort." Hermione chimes opening one of the small cases.

"A night of my pleasure. Wouldn't you want it to be yours?" Minerva inquired with brows raised.

"No. You know I like loving you." Hermione smirks pulling out two sheer baby doll negligee sets. One was a pretty emerald green and the other a gold that suited Hermione's skin tone perfectly. Both had bra and g-strings that were equally as transparent as the rest of it.

"I didn't agree to that bet." Minerva spoke immediately but Hermione shook her head.

"Too bad, wife. Go put this on while I find us some champagne." Hermione ordered with a grin and feigning reluctance Minerva took the article of clothing and went into the bedroom to change.

Eight months after the honeymoon Luna and Rolf and Minerva were playing with the three month old twin boys Lorcan and Lysander at the Scamander cottage. They had gotten together to go over saving places for the boys when they are of Hogwarts age. Minerva had no problem at all with saving places for the twins. They were outside in the fresh air playing in the grass when the ethereal snow leopard appeared.

"Its time. Get to St Mungo's." Emitted Narcissa's voice before the leopard disappeared.

Minerva sat stock still and stared at the spot where the leopard had been floating for a long moment, she was only jolted out of her stupor when Rolf laughed and called her name. With amusement in his face he told the witch to floo right to the hospital from the cottage and to let them know when the babe was born. Minerva nodded and dashed into the cottage and through the fireplace.

Hermione had refused to find out what they were having, girl or boy she wanted to be surprised and so after finding out she was pregnant she had only permitted to having the doctor check her a few times. The heart beat had always been strong and Hermione's pregnancy had been rather smooth. So when Minerva made it to the delivery room right as a little girl came into the world she was surprised that Hermione still seemed to be in pain.

"What's going on? Why is she still hurting?" Minerva asked moving over to the brunette who was sweat slicked and groaning.

"Looks like there is another one. Here mum." One of the Mediwitches said handing the now bundled tiny little girl. And she was tiny.

"Another one?" Hermione gasped out between contractions.

"Yep. I can see the head. Come on Hermione, push that pretty little head out and then you can take a little rest yeah." The mediwitch spoke encouragingly.

Hermione heaved a sigh and when her contraction hit she pushed hard, it was only momentary relief to have that little head free. She also quickly found out that a 'little rest' wasn't very restful at all considering the agonising feeling of her contractions. By the time the second contraction happened she decided she wouldn't be able to rest until the little baby was out and decided to get it done. The shoulders were the worst but the babies were so tiny that it didn't make a whole lot of difference to Hermione.

Minerva cradled the little girl with one arm while holding Hermione's hand with the other one as the brunette pushed and strained to bring her child into the world. Hermione's moan of utter relief was the main indicator that the baby had been born and a moment later a loud squalling sounded through the room. Quickly the mediwitches cut the cord and wrapped the little babe as another adjusted Hermione's bed so she was more sitting up. Once more upright Minerva and the Mediwitch handed the little babies to the panting brunette. The moment Hermione looked down at their little faces the new mother burst into tears.

"You're lucky, or Mrs McGonagall is foolish. She's only been here twenty minutes." The mediwitch said magically cleaning the babies while Hermione sobbed and cooed at them. Minerva looked up from her family and looked completely shocked.

"What? Hermione how long have you been having contractions?" Minerva asked a little chidingly.

"Since yesterday just before lunch. They weren't that bad and my water hadn't broke." Hermione defended softly not looking up from her little miracles.

"Ah its ok. Don't be upset with her Headmistress. Everything is perfect and I am certain they are both healthy. We will give you two a little while with them before we do any checks." The mediwitch spoke moving towards the door.

"Shouldn't you do that now? What if something is wrong?" Minerva asked suddenly concerned.

"The pregnancy was healthy. They might be a little bit small but they came out pink and are already looking for food so I would say they are fine." The witch pointed to the little babies nuzzling at Hermione's gown covered breasts before walking out.

Minerva turned her attention back to the babies and gently gathered up her son before helping Hermione open the gown so the babies could feed. Once the little girl was settled Minerva handed her son back to her wife and watched as the tiny boy nuzzled a peaked nipple before latching on and suckling along with his sister. Minerva couldn't believe her eyes, less than a year ago herself and Hermione didn't think they would have children ever but now they had twins.

Minerva and Hermione had taken their children to the train station that morning to see them off and now they were sitting in the Great Hall. In the last eleven years Madame Pince had retired and a jobless Hermione had begged to take over as the Librarian. Hermione found very early on in her and Hermione's relationship that she couldn't say no to her beautiful wife. So there they way waiting for the four twins to be sorted into their houses.

Finally the twins were called, Destiny first who was practically bouncing on her seat while the hat sorted her into Gryffindor and then her brother who was far calmer but will obviously excited. They were both sorted into Gryffindor which didn't really surprised their mothers. The only think Hermione and Minerva had been worried about was if the twins had been split up. Growing up the two had been extremely close and though they would argue like siblings do it never lasted long.

The twins made it to the Gryffindor table and waited as the rest of the first years were sorted. Lorcan was sorted first into Ravenclaw and Lysander next who had surprisingly been sorted into Slytherin. Hermione and Minerva shared a look, those two boys had been trouble since they could walk, easily as bad as Fred and George Weasley had been. Now with the intelligent boys in Ravenclaw and Slytherin along with access to Gryffindor through their best friends the McGonagall's

"Oh no..." Minerva groaned just loud enough for her wife and best friends to hear. All three women snickered.
