EPILOGUE

"Molly! Arthur! So glad you could make it, it's been so long!"

The large redheaded Molly Weasley smiled, "Too long, it has! And you've grown so beautifully over the years!"

"You better be talking about me being grown up, not about this belly!"

"Oh, you've got a healthy baby there, Harry. It's all part of adulthood."

"I know, I've done this before. I just wish that Sev wouldn't be too stubborn to carry one!"

Stepping aside, Harry let Molly and Arthur Weasley walk away from his fireplace. The house was already alive with joy; people were all over the place, talking and laughing. It had been only a year and a few months since his reunion with Severus, and Harry was glowing in the seventh month of his third pregnancy. The date was the twenty-fourth of December, but the day would not be complete without the Christmas Eve party that had been thrown at Godric's Hollow. Friends and different family figures were scattered about, with children taking quick advantage of the fact that their parents were preoccupied.

"James Severin Potter-Snape!"

"Sirius Remi Potter-Snape!"

Laughing at the false anger between his twin sons, Harry walked along into the kitchen. Pouring himself a glass of milk, he felt two long arms wrap themselves around his stretched waist from behind. "Hey Sev," he chuckled, relaxing back into the strong body which supported him.

"How are you and my son fairing? Well, I hope."

"Extremely well. I'm so glad to see everyone again. I had no idea that some of my friends had gotten married, let alone become parents!"

"Yes, well, I do not look forward to teaching Longbottom's offspring anytime in the future."

"I think Matthew will take after Ginny more than Neville."

"Ginevra Weasley was almost as abysmal a potions student as the latter."

"Obviously not, otherwise I wouldn't be a qualified healer now, would I?" came a female voice from behind.

"Ginny!" Harry cried, as the two men turned around. He leapt into her arms, "How wonderful to see you!"

Giggling, the redhead let go of him and replied, "I'm glad to see you, too. How are you these days?"

"Well. Sev came to join me here in Godric's Hollow, and we've pretty much had our hands full."

"It seems so," she muttered, glancing down at the protruding belly.

"We have three kids already; one sweet little girl named Aylena, and two twin terrors, James and Sirius."

"You're just asking for trouble with those names," Ginny stated, before continuing in a sing-song voice, "Oh! What's in a name -"

Severus interrupted her singing, "Miss Weasley, enlighten us on your life as of late."

"It's Mrs. Longbottom now, and I know you know that. I am no longer your student, though, so you may call me Ginny; or Ginevra, if it is more to your liking. Anyway, Neville and I live happily in London right now. We're both healers at St. Mungo's, and we have two sons named Matthew and Jason. Matthew is beginning Hogwarts next year, and Jason will follow in a few years' time."

"James and Sirius are in their second year."

"Did you hear about Hermione? She and Viktor are finally marrying! They plan on having kids right away, or so I've heard. It's so sad that Ron had to die all those years ago in battle, I was sure that she would marry him. Do you know what you want to name your new one?"

As Harry shook his head, Ginny replied, "Oh well. I'll be seeing you around, I might as well find my husband now."

Ginny walked away, and Harry turned to face his lover, asking, "Have you thought of any names yet?"

"I have. Our son...yes, it will be a boy; I am positive of it...will be called Tobias Ronald Potter-Snape."

AN: And there you have it! The end of my story. I hope you are pleased with the way it has turned out, because I did work really hard on it, writing every second of the day - even when I was supposed to be doing school work! I used the epilogue to explain what happened to some characters. Neville and Ginny got married and had kids, and Hermione became engaged to Viktor Krum. Unfortunately, Ron had died in the final battle back before this story took place, and Severus was understanding in the closeness Harry felt for him, which is why their next child was to bear Ron's name as his second name. In case anyone did not get throughout the story, the mentioned 'Sheldon Weasley' was the son of one of the twins. I suppose that's all I really have to say, so thanks so much for taking the time to read and review over the past few weeks!
