The family had thought Harry was joking at first. He was not due for a few weeks and his announcement took them all by shock. But one look at his husband, and Draco could see he was serious. He quickly scooped his husband into his arms and headed for the fireplace. He was headed back to the manor. Though Severus had done the honors with Bree, Harry had asked Andromeda this time, she was a midwife. Poppy was on call, but Severus would be there as well, if she needed a hand. Severus was not hurt to not be asked again but he was anxious to meet the new little Malfoy. Lucius and Severus were both shocked when they came through the floo into the living room. Severus called Andromeda who arrived shortly after Harry was in bed. Bree remained at the Burrow with her family, she would be brought when her daddy and the baby was ready for company. She was excited to be a big sister but she didn't need to be there and wait. They worried she would get upset with daddy in pain.

It was early the next morning when the family was ushered into the room. Bree had spent the night with her favorite Uncle, Oliver and Viktor bringing her home bright and early. Lucius indeed had a little puppy waiting to give her, not to spoil her, but so she didn't feel jealous he said.

Bree was anxious. "Go in, go in."

Oliver smiled. "Daddy will be ready soon."

Lucius thought. "Maybe it is the right time for this."

Bree turned to him. "This?"

Lucius brought out the small red puppy. "This."

Bree squealed. "For me?"

Lucius smiled. "Pa and I decided you needed one."

Remus saw Teddy pouting and revealed a little spotted puppy. "We thought you both deserved a special surprise."

Teddy smiled at his. "Thanks Daddy."

Severus smirked. "How about me?"

Teddy turned to his stepfather. "Thank you too."

Oliver smirked. "Could have given them last night."

Viktor didn't agree. "Had a hard enough time getting her to sleep."

Bree was cuddling her puppy but looked up. "My brother."

Bree and Teddy were distracted for a bit with their new puppies. A friend of Lucius' bred setters, and the puppies came from a recent litter. When Remus and Severus knew what the man was up to, they decided Teddy should not be left out. Severus was willing to have a puppy in their rooms. Bree's was all red and she decided on the name Cinnamon, well Cinmo, as she could not pronounce the word. Teddy decided to name his puppy, who was white with red spots, and named his Rue. Severus smiled as he realized both puppies had been named for potions ingredients. His husband groaned at the thought, mentioning Cinnamon was actually Bree's favorite Bertie Bot flavor. But considering Bree's Papa and Teddy's stepfather were both potions masters, and they idolized the men, it wasn't odd. Remus would have to remind his son of that.

They were eventually let into the room, though the dogs remained with elves. Cinnamon was forgotten for now, as soon as Bree was helped to clamber up into the bed with her Daddy and Papa. They were all anxious, but nowhere near her level, to see the new member.

Bree beamed. "I right, I right, baby brother."

Harry smiled. "You were princess."

Draco asked. "Not disappointed in not a sister?"

Bree kissed the baby on his head. "No, brother."

Harry held his little girl. "Well he was anxious to meet you."

Draco smiled as a photo was taken when he put the baby in Bree and Harry's arms. "Everyone."

Lucius looked at his first grandson. "A true little Malfoy."

Remus agreed. "But Harry's dimples I see."

Harry added with a smile. "And mine, Bree and my mother's eyes."

Severus said. "Speaking of your mother, we will send word to Petunia."

Draco nodded. "Thank you."

George asked. "Godparents?"

Harry reminded him. "You already are to Bree."

Angie laughed. "Hoping a second may take to him."

George was just asking, he didn't expect to be chosen again. He and Oliver had shared the honors of course for Bree. This time Harry and Draco each chose a godparent. Draco to no surprise chose Blaise, though he had other good friends like Adrian, Blaise was his best friend since diapers. He and Harry shared honors as godfather to Blaise's son Max. Since he had not chosen a godmother for Bree, he chose one for his son this time. Though he considered Fleur, since he had already chosen a Weasley, he picked Luna. Luna and Neville were of course some of his closest friends. He served for their daughter Alice who had been born in the fall, named in honor of both of their late mothers.

Lucius finally asked the obvious. "His name."

Draco did the honors. "Scorpios Jacopo Potter-Malfoy."

Bill was surprised. "Scorpius?"

Harry smiled. "Bree is the Potter heir with mine and Fred's shares in WWW. We decided he'd be the Black heir."

Draco looked at his dad. "Malfoy will be next."

George pointed out. "He is a Sagittarius."

Draco shook his head. "On one zodiac, on the Sidreal he is a Scorpion."

Harry added. "And the constellation is linked to Orion, for Sirius."

Remus noted. "Jacopo? A Latin name for Lucius."

Draco smiled. "Latin form of James."

Harry explained. "Wanted to honor both grandfathers."

Lucius assured them. "It worked."

They planned to have at least one more, a little Malfoy heir. Draco was no longer the Prince heir. Severus had named his stepson heir when he married Remus. Draco had more than understood, besides he and Harry had enough estates of their own. Severus had named Draco before, as he never thought to have kids of his own. He had not adopted Teddy as Draco had Bree, but the little boy was his family.

Harry looked at Bree and Scorpius and was so at peace. "It feels so different this time."

Harry, Draco and the kids were spending the weekend in London. They were going to visit Petunia and Vernon, as well Dudley, his wife and their two kids. They had plenty of other stops along the way as well. The boys would insist on visiting Uncle George at the shop. George had got his wish. He may still not hold a flame to Oliver in the heart of Bree, but he was a favorite of both Scorpius and his little brother. Bree did adore George though, and George had a special place for her, being his twin's child. George had grown the business to amazing new levels. Harry and his daughter were half owners in the business. Beyond the stores in London and Scotland, there were further ones now in France and Canada. Harry had invested more money, and even with teaching, he helped with products. He still refused to ever touch a share, even when investing more. He reminded George simply, that Bree had inherited Fred's half, and that was shares enough for him in it all.

Harry left Draco and the kids at the town house. He told them he had to run some errands, and he would meet them later to see Petunia. Draco had his doubts about where Harry was really going, but he said nothing. He knew at times it was best to let Harry have his space.

Harry went to see Kingsley. "I am not late."

The man shook his head. "I am surprised you came."

Harry sighed. "Needed closure I guess."

"I had thought you had it years ago."

Harry watched as the women appeared. "In a way."

"They have been placed in a half-way house till they find work."

Harry smirked. "Shouldn't be too hard."

Molly saw him. "Come to gloat again."

Hermione agreed. "Not the face we hoped for."

Harry wondered. "Hoping for your husbands perhaps?"

Molly was red. "Traitors, both."

Hermione admitted. "Not husbands anymore."

Harry knew. "I guess they even had too high of standards."

Molly looked at Kingsley. "We are to be released, not made to stand and listen."

Kingsley agreed and freed them. "Try and keep out of trouble."

Molly and Hermione had finally been released from prison. They had not got parole, they had definitely not earned it. Both women had been served with divorce papers while in prison. Ron had moved in with his father a few years before, to help Arthur, so he could retire. Ron had stayed out of trouble and was working for a small store on Diagon. He had gone from sweeping floors, to managing, and had been provided a small two room apartment as part. Rose remained to this day with her grandparents in muggle London. Ron was big enough to realize she was better there than with him. He had her every second weekend, and he was doing his best by her. He had not remarried, and as far as Harry knew, hadn't begun dating. He and Arthur were close to Percy but none of the others. Ginny, last Harry heard, was now living in New Zealand. She as still playing quidditch, and had married a year or so ago, and had a child. She had stayed out of his life, and he had no interest in her.

Harry had only needed to see them and remove that last bit from his mind. They were as cocky as ever, but thinner and even Hermione had aged ten years or more. Harry hoped they could clean up their lives, but he was not going to think of them again.

He ran into Lucius on his way out. "I didn't think to see you."

His father in law smiled. "I could say the same. I often work here."

Harry had not forgotten. "I am meeting your son and grandchildren."

"Is he aware what you were up to?"

"I am up to?"

"I am aware what was happening today."

Harry sighed. "No."

Lucius assured him. "I will not let on."

"Thank you. I do not wish to worry him."

Lucius squeezed his arm. "Are you okay?"

Harry assured him. "I am."

Lucius motioned. "Draco will be missing you."

"Are you joining us for dinner later?"

Lucius smiled. "I'd not miss it."

"We really need to get you to date."

Lucius was single and had never really dated. He was a doting grandfather as always, to all three of Harry and Draco's kids. Bree had a special place, being the only girl in their family. The seven year old reminded Harry so much of her father, not just in his red hair. Bree had his sense of adventure, his sense of humor, his smile. But she was a daredevil already on a broom, likely a mix of Harry and Oliver. She could do a good impression though of Draco when upset, she had the Malfoy smirk if Harry had ever seen it. As the only girl, all the men in her life had a soft spot. Scorpius was turning five that winter, and their youngest Tiberian Lucas would be three in a few days' time.

Draco saw him. "How did your errands go?"

Harry kissed him. "Fine."

"Are you sure?"

Harry assured him. "I promise."

Bree ran over. "Daddy are we going?"

Harry smiled and nodded. "Are you set to go?"

Scorpius nodded. "We have the gift."

Draco smiled. "Time to meet Dudley's daughter."

Harry agreed. "Hope she looks like her mother."

Bree turned to him. "Why?"

Draco kissed her curls. "Daddy was being silly."

Harry smirked. "It's true."

"Someone could say the same to you."

Harry laughed. "I don't have the issue."

Bree was his only child who got more than his eyes from him. The boys were both min Malfoys, but for Harry's eyes and dimples. He was happy to go and meet Dudley's second child, a little girl, who was only a week old. In the years since his return, he had not only mended fences, but had become much closer to the family. He evens served as godfather, with Dudley's sister in law, to his son. Harry had not gone as far, Adrian and Fleur served for Tiberian, but he was still happy to be close. Unlike growing up, he had more family then he could have hoped for.

Later that night he kissed his husband as he watched the kids play. "I don't tell you enough how happy you have made me."

An: Hope this was a good ending.

Scorpius Jacopo Potter-Malfoy: Scorpios (Latin) scorpion. Not many votes, but the few were mainly for a constellation, and two for Scorpius. Though in the zodiac more commonly used, the topical (based on the vernal equinox) born in early December he'd be Sagittarius, in the sidereal (based on stationary star positons) he is a Scorpio. The constellation is also linked to the myth of Orion, so thought fitting link to Sirius.

Jacopo: the other vote was a Latin name. Jacopo is the Latin form of James. Latin for the Malfoys but James for Harry's dad. Future Lord Black.

Tiberian Lucas Potter-Malfoy: Tiberian (Latin) from the Tiber. A name both from Roman myth and from imperial Roman history. Fitting I thought for the Malfoy heir. Lucas (Latin) light. Since Scorpius has a version of James for Harry's dad, Tiberian has a variation of Lucius.

Thought it kind of fitting Harry's little princess with Fred was his only daughter, even a more special place.

Looking for a challenge.
