Epilogue
She stood by the window staring out onto the massive grounds behind her house. She had been waiting for hours for his return. Finally, she heard a loud crack and ran from the second floor down to meet him at the door, threw the door open and lunged herself into her husband's arms.
"Oh Draco I've missed you terribly" she said breathlessly both from being back in his arms to the run she had just done.
He smiled into her hair "I've missed you too Jordyn, but I've only been gone for a week" he said softly.
"I know, but a week is too long to be parted from you when I love you this much" she said pulling back and staring into his eyes.
He smiled down at her and whispered "I love you too" and then bent down and kissed her with the same fiery passion he had for the past fifteen years.
They broke apart when they heard footsteps coming from upstairs. Both of them smiled at each other and then walked toward the source of the footsteps. They entered the east wing of the house and the footsteps got louder. Finally, they were standing right in the middle of the wing when someone lunged at them. Draco and Jordyn let out a loud "uumph" as they were almost knocked to the floor.
Jordyn embraced the little someone and whispered "Good Morning Jackie"
"Good Morning Mommy. Welcome home daddy" she said in her little voice.
Draco smiled at his child and took in her appearance, she looked just like Jordyn, only with emerald green eyes.
"It's good to be home sweetheart" he said
They stood there waiting for it to come and when it did they almost all fell over.
"DADDYYY!!" the boy said knocking the wind out of his father.
Jordyn smirked at his over-eagerness and then looked up at her husband and gave him a full bright smile.
"Yes, yes, I'm home sport" he said still trying to breathe and taking in the appearance of his son. He still didn't understand how or why, but his son looked exactly like Harry Potter. The messy black hair, the emearld green eyes, even the glasses, however the only thing missing, and Draco was glad of this, was the lightning bolt scar.
"Harry dear, why don't you and Jackie go downstairs and tell the house elves what you want for breakfast and then me and daddy will be right down. Okay?" Jordyn said to her two children.
"Okay mommy" the twins said in unison both turning and leaving the room chatting excitedly about the presents that daddy had gotten for them.
She watched her children with a proud smile and then turned to her husband who she knew would be wearing the same look she did.
"They're going to Hogwarts this year" she said solemnly
Draco nodded and said "He will get the stares and the whispers, just like Harry did."
She nodded "He looks just like him" she said feeling the lurch in her stomach that she always felt when she looked into her sons eyes. After a brief silence, she started crying. Draco was used to her reaction, so he wasn't phased when she wrapped her arms around him and cried onto his shoulder.
"I miss him" she said.
He hugged her tightly "Me too" he said quietly to try and calm her. The truth was that he really did miss Potter. He was just as upset as anyone else that Potter was gone. He had made amends with the Weasley family and everyone else that he had hurt. He was sometimes mad at Harry for leaving them all here to mourn him, but then remembered who and what he died for and couldn't be mad at him. He was brought back from his thoughts when there was a soft crying emanating from the room in the center of the wing. He looked down at his wife and she looked up into his eyes and nodded.
She got her composure and they walked to the nursery. The twins were turning eleven in five days. However they had two other children right now, and they were just as important. They reached the nursery and Jordyn went in first.
Draco entered the room and his five year old son Scorpius sleeping in the bed across the room. He walked over, sat down, and quietly woke him up.
When Scorpius awoke, he smiled up at Draco "Morning daddy" he said slowly and yawning.
Draco smiled down at his youngest son "Good Morning son" he replied.
Draco turned to watch his wife. She was holding the baby and singing softly to calm her. Draco always found himself falling in love with her all over again when she sang. She was so beautiful, even now, after they had four children, she was still as fit as ever. He gave her constant praise for that because he had seen some of the women he knew who had let themselves go after their pregnancies, but she stood there as beautiful as ever.
She walked over to him and held the two year old out to him and he received her without a second thought. He looked down into her deep blue eyes and smiled at her "Hello my princess" he whispered to her.
He looked up at his wife and smiled and then they left the room with Scorpius and Angel and went down to the kitchen.
Draco had been home for a week now, and she had to tell him soon, for he would be leaving again in two weeks, right after the twins went to Hogwarts.
Draco was an Auror and had to go out for weeks at a time to find and capture Dark wizards. She was fine with this because she knew he considered it his penance for being of the name "Malfoy." She turned over in the bed and smiled at her husband. He put down the book he was reading immediately and captured her in his arms.
"I love you Jordyn Malfoy" he whispered holding her tightly.
She let out a content sigh "I love you too Draco Malfoy."
She let herself revel in the moment before finally saying what she had to say.
"Draco" she said making sure she had his attention.
"Hmm" he responded.
"I'm pregnant" she said slowly.
He pulled her out of the hug so she could see his face and then he slowly beamed at her with a pride he never could have thought any Malfoy could show through the iron mask that was worn on their features.
She smiled brightly at his unspoken response and then kissed him passionately. Draco was just about to say something when there was a noise from the den that said that they had a firecall.
Draco let out a sound of frustration and the two of them walked to the den. When they arrived there they saw Hermione Weasley's head in the fireplace.
"Hello Hermione, do what do we owe the pleasure?" Jordyn said smiling.
"Hello Jordyn, Draco. Me and Ronald were just making sure that you and your family were coming over for dinner tonight as planned" she said brightly.
Jordyn and Draco looked at each other and then back at Hermione.
"Of course we will be there" Jordyn replied.
Hermione's face smiled "Okay, good, see you guys at six!" she said and then she disappeared.
Jordyn looked over at Draco "I had totally forgotten about that. We have to go get the children ready."
Draco nodded and followed his wife out to get the kids and themselves ready.
They arrived at the Weasley Manor at a few minutes to six. They were greeted at the door by Hermione, who, just like Jordyn, was clutching a two year old to her side. Scorpius was holding Draco's hand and Harry and Jackie were standing in front of their parents, but had run inside as soon as the door opened to go meet their friends.
Hermione and Ron got married shortly after they graduated and they had twins that were going to Hogwarts as well. They however, had seven kids, whereas Draco and Jordyn were working on five. As soon as Jordyn got a good look at Hermione however, she pulled Hermione aside. Jordyn briefly remembered how strong Hermione was after Harry's death. She had taken the supporting role in their relationship while Ron was in shock. She readily accepted it, but cried herself to sleep every night after there was no one left to support but herself. She was brought back from her thoughts by Hermione's anticipant smile.
"How far along" she whispered and Hermione smiled brightly at her.
"Almost a month, and yourself?" she asked.
"The same" Jordyn said beaming.
Ron was sitting in the den when Draco walked in. Ron looked up and nodded at his friend and then resumed his staring at the fireplace. It hit Ron hard, when the shock wore off. He didn't want to acknowledge the fact that his best friend was dead at first, but when he did, he was in a dark place. Many times Hermione had found him unconsciously trying to harm himself to take away the pain of such a deep loss. Ron and Draco were both Aurors and they worked together on every case.
"How's life?" Draco asked when he couldn't stand the silence anymore.
Ron smiled at Draco "Hermione's pregnant again" he said proudly.
"So is Jordyn" Draco returned just as proudly.
"So our twins are going to Hogwarts this year" Ron said motioning between them.
"Yup, Hogwarts already" Draco said
"Do you think they will get in as much trouble as we did?" Ron asked
Draco chuckled lightly "I sure as hell hope not."
Ron's face turned down suddenly "Is H-Harry, do you think he'll be… okay?"
Draco frowned "Yes, but only time will tell. He seems to be dealing with the stares fine when we go out, but he keeps asking me and Jordyn why these people stare at him."
"Do you tell him the truth?" Ron asked
"Of course we tell him the truth, he's just too young to understand it" Draco said.
"Yea, he'll understand someday" Ron said dropping the subject.
"Well, lets go before the food gets cold and our wives come up with some elaborate plan to go on vacation" Ron said shuddering.
Draco shuddered as well thinking about their last "vacation" that Jordyn and Hermione had planned.
The two families ate and talked in a peace that did not exist before Voldemort's defeat. They all reveled in the silent presence of their best friend and angel, Harry Potter.
And that's all folks.. hope you enjoyed it and I hope that I ended it well...
