Once again they stood at Malfoy manor to take their wedding vows but that afternoon was far more special. They stood not only among the members of the Four but Gideon's fathers and sister, the entire living Weasley clan and happily smiling in her grandfather's arms, their beautiful little girl.

Lucius smiled. "Last year we stood in this room to witness the marriage of two men. Though very much in love, their union was a rushed ceremony in order to bring peace to our world. They have asked us to come together on this day to witness their vows again and to celebrate in the peace that they have granted us, their love."

Gideon smiled. "You know one year ago Bill brought me here after I was released from prison. I had no idea where I was or what was happening. I asked where I was and the most amazing warm loving voice came from behind me. Six months I spent thinking you dead and in that moment I was alive again. You didn't want to marry me because you didn't want me to feel pressured. You would have risked death for me. In that moment I knew you were my world. You have stood not only as my ally but my husband, my soul mate, my protector and my guide, through this war and gave given me not only our precious daughter but my fathers as well. I owe my very life to you but more then that I owe my every happiness to you. I am so honoured to be able to call myself your husband and want to spend eternity with you."

Lucius smiled. "Do you Gideon Sirius James Potter Prewett Black-Snape Gryffindor take Severus Slytherin-Snape as your husband and bond for all eternity?"

Gideon smiled. "I do."

Severus took his turn. "I woke up after a coma for three months to find you in prison. Three months I spent desperately trying to find a way to have you returned to me, only able to send your brother Fred to tell you I was alive. I have wanted to marry you since our first kiss when you were my student. I don't know what I have done to earn your loyalty or your love. You went to prison to protect me. You are an amazing man who sacrificed yourself for your fathers before you knew them and for our daughter. For our world as well. This world loves you as the High Lord who saved them. I love you as the fifteen year old who kept trying to blow up my classroom and grate on my last nerve. I love you as my ally, my friend and my lover. But most of all as the father of our beautiful daughter and my husband. I promise with every breath in my body I will spend every waking moment we have together proving myself worthy of your amazing love, and unshakable devotion. "

Lucius looked at him. "Do you Severus Tobias Slytherin-Snape take Gideon Black-Snape Gryffindor as your husband and bond for all eternity?"

Severus beamed. "I do."

Remus came forward. "My godson I present you with this ring to give your husband as I stand witness again to your vows."

Gideon slid a second band next to his husband's wedding ring. He looked up into his husband's amazing eyes and beamed as they turned to Draco who had the last lines this time.

"Godfather I present you with this ring to give your husband as I stand witness again to your vows."

Harry stared in amazement at the ring slid on to his hand. Not a plain band, he knew from the stones it was a family ring for there was three birthstones on it, including two rubies for Harry and Maia with a beautiful emerald in the center for his husband. Severus kissed his hand as he slid it in place.

Lucius smiled. "Severus kiss your husband once again to seal the renewal of your marriage vows."

Severus did not need to be told twice as pulled Gideon into his arms and kissed him as all their loves ones cheered and through flower petals. When they pulled apart Fabian and Regulus came to hug them and handed Maia to her proud Papa.

Bill and Fleur were the first to some after their dads, each carrying a twin. "We were honoured to be there for your first set of vows and for your renewal now."

Harry bent down and kissed Alex on the head as Bill had spoken. "I'm happy I have all my family here this time including my sweet niece and nephew here."

Fleur hugged him. "My mother thinks that Amy looks like me." She said with a secret smile. "You'll have to come visit us at our new home soon enough Gideon."

Molly came with the twins and with Charlie and their dates as well. Ron had been caught two days before and had been given the kiss as Percy, Ginny and Hermione had been months before. The last stragglers were caught and the world would be at peace.

Susan and Luna were among the last who came to congratulate them. Sisters to them since the founder's right. Both had chosen to accept positions teaching at Hogwarts since they were part of the school forever, even after the war.

A proper reception was held that night and as they stood watching the fireworks the twins set off, Gideon turned to his husband. "Thank you for this amazing night."

Severus kissed him. "Thank you for agreeing to be my husband a year ago and for making me the happiest and luckiest man alive.

Two years to the day of the victory of the light over the dark there was an extra celebration to add to the anniversary. The Weasleys, the Prewetts and a number of the allies were gathered in the hall way in Prince Manor waiting to be allowed into the room.

The hallway was filled with the cries of a baby. Molly smiled at her sons. "I think the future Lord Slytherin-Prince is saying hello to the world."

The door eventually opened and Severus ushered them into the room. "Our son would like to meet his family, all of them."

Gideon was sitting on the bed propped up with pillows with his beautiful daughter in one arm and a tiny bundle wrapped in blue, in the other. Maia had legally been named heir of Gideon's three titles so Molly had been right in naming the new little member of the family, as the future Slytherin-Prince.

Gideon ushered his fathers over to his bed side. "Dad would you be the first to hold your new grandson?"

Fabian who he had been referring to happily scooped the little bundle into his arms. "He is beautiful Gideon. He looks a lot like you."

Regulus looked down at the little boy in his husband's arms. "The two of you do seem to manage to have some beautiful little children."

Remus got a chance to see and kiss the little baby. "So are you going to tell the three anxious grandfathers's the baby's name already?"

Severus smiled. "Well we honoured Prewett, Prince and Black in our daughter's name so we thought we'd honour our other three heritages in our son."

Gideon took the boy back. "Everyone this little guy is Steven Gideon James Black-Snape, the future lord Slytherin Prince."

Bill smiled. "You decided to follow the tradition of eldest son having the dad's name. Flip a coin to decide?"

Severus laughed. "No. Gideon we chose in honour of my husband's Uncle as well as the son of Godric. His name holds more tradition then Severus does."

Gideon kissed his husband. "I offered Severus instead of Steven for Slytherin but Severus said no. Steven is the son of Salazar we are descended from."

"And of course James is the man who died to protect you and in doing so saved our world. The last of the blood Potters." Regulus smiled.

Gideon took his son back into his arms as Maia was now in her Papa's lap as he was on the bed with him. "Our son. Now our family is complete."

As the other stood and watched the newly complete family with their beautiful son they knew no one deserved that happiness more then Gideon. It was Gideon who they had to thank for their own children's lives and peace. The family had grown in two years and every new child owed their existence to Gideon.

Author note: so since Maia Charlotte Eileen Black-Snape honoured the Prince, Prewett and Black lines, I decided the son would do Gryffindor, Slytherin, Potter

Steven (Greek): means crown, younger brother of Sebastian and son of Salazar of whom both Severus and Sirius' mothers were descendents of.

Gideon (Hebrew): great warrior, originally son of Godric, then twin of Fabian and Gideon's Uncle and namesake

James (Hebrew)- supplanter, last of the actual Potters before adopting Gideon, and a Gryffindor as well, saved Gideon with his last breath as adopted father
