The next few months went by in a haze, the Malfoy-Potters still couldn't believe their luck. They wouldn't have to confront the man who hurt them so much. They wouldn't have to face the trials, to gain justice. They wouldn't have to face all the questions of the people. They were lucky to just get to know each other.

James had taken a new identity, and got remarried to Lucius soon after the death of Dumbledore. After that he had taken the name of Lucius, saying that his youngest son would continue the line of the Potters. Lucius had sold his companies and had given the manor to Draco, and now travelled around the world with his husband. While they were back in the country, they lived with Draco and Charlie. James and Lucius were now very expressive with their love for each other, sometimes embarrassing the other members of their little family, but if anyone said something about it, they always answered that they had to make up for 21 years of being separated.

Severus had taken the position as the new Headmaster and he had changed some things right away in the school. He had built a new common room, one were all the Houses could meet, so there wouldn't be any hostility left between the four Houses. Of course there would still be the House Points and stuff like that, but quarrels like there used to be between Gryffindor and Slytherin, were now history.

Hermione had given birth to an adorable little boy, that they had called Ross, named after Ron and the boy had inherited his father's grey eyes and his mothers unruly curls. The boy had quickly invaded all of their hearts. Most especially Sirius', who couldn't be seen without both his wife and his son. He claimed that he had had to wait long enough for a family, and that he would never let go of them again.

Draco and Charlie married a few months after the birth of Ross. Carrie had been a flower girl on their wedding, together with Victoria, Bill's little girl. The Weasly's had quickly accepted Draco and the elder Malfoy-Potters, when they found out about the lies that Dumbledore had spread. Although Charlie was still mad at them sometimes, Draco had forgiven them rather quickly, not wanting to fight anymore about anything. He always claimed that he had fought enough in the first 20 years of his life, to last a lifetime.

Lucius, James, Draco and Severus were all enchanted by Carrie. The little girl had taken quickly to her father and now her other father wasn't able to pry her away from the onyx-eyed man. Sometimes he wondered if he should be jealous of them. But then he saw Severus and Carrie playing together and he realized this was everything he could ever imagine he wanted.

He was happy.

Corvus leaned in the doorway, chuckling at what he saw. Severus was lying on the ground, sleeping in very uncomfortable position, with their black-haired little girl sprawled on top of him, also far away in dreamland.

Corvus was happy to say that the two years that he had spent in the company of his lover and their daughter, were the happiest he had ever had. Severus was all he could ever wish for in a father, sure they had disagreements in her upbringing, but Corvus figured there would always be some. He didn't mind.

"Stop laughing at me, and get our girl off me. She's getting heavy." Severus suddenly said, without opening his eyes. Corvus smiled and picked his little girl up, without waking her. He carried her over to her bed and lay her down. He kissed her forehead softly and looked down on her. He sighed happily.

"I love you, Sev. I love you both." He said to the person that encircled his waist with strong arms. "I know, Cor. I love you too." Severus nuzzled Corvus' neck and goose bumps trailed his arms. "Are you happy, love?" Corvus asked, turning around in the arms of the Headmaster.

"Yes, Corvus. Couldn't be happier." Severus kissed Corvus softly on the lips. "No, wait. I could be happier." He said. Corvus grew worried.

"Huh? Sev? What do you mean?" Severus didn't answer, but pulled his lover out of Carries bedroom. He motioned his lover to sit down in an armchair, and then left to their bedroom.

A few seconds later he was back and sat down on one knee before Corvus. In his hands was a little velvet black box. "You could make me the happiest man alive, by marrying me, Corvus." He said. "I've never been happier, than these last two years, and I want to show the world you and Carrie are mine. Marry me?" he asked, popping the box open to reveal a white golden ring with a small sapphire.

Corvus was speechless for a few moments. "Yes! Yes, I'll marry you." He hugged Severus with all his might and then drew back to give him some air.

Severus couldn't stop grinning and he slipped the ring on Corvus' hand. They looked at each other and smiled, before kissing each other deeply.

Well, that was it.

I was thinking about a prequel, about how James and Lucius got together, so maybe if I get enough requests for it…

Thank you all for reviewing this story, it really kept me writing.
