Epilogue:

"Auntie 'Mione, look what I can do!" My nephew Lysander says. He runs across the backyard and does a half-cartwheel. When he lands on his feet I give him a standing ovation. "That was amazing, 'Sander! I'm so proud of you!"

He grins and bows. "Uncle Blake taught me how to do it!"

I roll my eyes. Of course he did.

"Uncle Blake taught you how to do what?" Rolf asks, coming out onto the back porch, having just arrived a few minutes ago.

"DADDY!" Lysander says, running into his father's arms. Rolf picks him up and swings him around, causing the little blond to laugh loudly. I kiss my brother's cheek and leave them on the porch as I wander inside to find my husband. As I pass the living room, I find Luna with my other nephew (and Lysander's twin) Lorcan and my son, Andrew, coloring. Luna smiles at me and waves and I wave back and kiss my son on his head before wandering upstairs to continue searching for my husband.

I find him in our room, reading to our daughter, Olivia. I stop, just outside the doorway to listen to him read; it takes me a second to realize that he's reading her my book.

"'I was running out of ideas and we were running out of time. If we didn't move fast, the goblins would gain on us and we'd be arrested for breaking and entering into Gringotts bank. I look back to the dragon and suddenly, an idea strikes me! It was a terrible idea in hindsight but it was the best one I had at the time. I took a few steps back, gave myself a running start, and jumped onto the dragon! As soon as Harry and Ron followed my lead, I broke the dragon's chains and lead it out of the bank, destroying half the building in the process.'"

"Did that really happen, Daddy?" Olivia asks, in awe.

I hear Harry's smile in his reply. "Yes, it did. Mummy refuses to admit it, but I know that she had fun while riding the dragon." I roll my eyes at that.

"Wow," Olivia says. She pauses, and then, "I wanna ride a dragon!"

I bust out laughing at that and make my presence known. "You're not allowed to ride any dragons until you're at least thirty!" I say, still laughing. "In the meantime, you can make Uncle Draco pretend to be a dragon and ride him."

Harry busts out laughing at that but Olivia's eyes widen at that. "You think he'll let me?!" she asks.

I shrug. "If he says no, you can always go to Aunt Astoria and ask her. I'm sure she'll convince him."

Harry, still laughing, shakes his head. "He's gonna kill you when he finds out you suggested that."

I shrug. "I'm willing to take my chances." He rolls his eyes and kisses Olivia's head. "I think I heard Uncle Rolf downstairs; why don't you go play with him for a while and we'll finish reading this later, okay?"

She smiles and nods and begins to crawl off the bed but is thwarted when I snatch her up into my arms and start kissing her all over her face. She squeals with laughter and tries to hold off my kisses but all to no avail. When I feel that she's been thoroughly kissed, I release her and she runs downstairs, still laughing (don't worry, there's a cushioning charm on the stairs so even if she falls, she'll be okay).

Harry smiles and wraps his arms around me. "What time is everyone else getting here?"

"Ginny wrote me last night and said she and Neville would be getting here late since they're still on New Zealand time but everyone else should be getting here around six."

"They're gonna miss the big announcement," he says.

I roll my eyes. "She already knows, though! And I'm sure she's told Neville by now."

He chuckles. "Correction: they're going to miss everyone's reaction to the announcement."

I shrug. "They'll survive." He laughs.

In case you're wondering what we're talking about, I'm pregnant again. And this is the last time! I was satisfied with two after Olivia was born but Harry really wanted another baby. After months of begging, I agreed to have one more kid and less than six months later, I was pregnant.

I'm about four months along now. Harry wants another girl but I have a sneaking suspicion it's a boy. I have an appointment in two weeks so maybe we can find out then.

Harry pulls me closer and my thoughts fade as his lips meet mine. Quickly, my hands weave their way through his hair and his hands begin to run up and down my back. When we break, I'm left breathless. Even after all these years, he still makes my stomach flip when he kisses me like that.

I smile at him and adjust his glasses. "We're going to pick this up later tonight," I promise.

"I look forward to it," he smiles.

I peck him lightly one more time before he heads downstairs, leaving me alone in our room. I look over to my book and smile, running my fingers over the cover.

The Book of Lies.

Amazing how I once thought that statement to be true. I know now that nothing in that book was a lie; I may be a pureblood but I'll always be a muggleborn in my soul. My parents may be Felix and Lucinda Scamander, but Cate and Brian Granger will always hold a special place in my heart; and I may have been born Hermione Scamander and grown up as Hermione Granger, but I'll spend the rest of my life as Hermione Potter, and that's a pretty damn good trade-off to me.

If you're wondering if you'll ever read my book, let me tell you a secret: you just did. Well, the second part, at least as you already knew the first half; and I may or may not have given you a few extra details that didn't make it into the book but you get the idea. It's been one hell of a journey, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Thanks for sharing it with me.

"Mummy! Uncle Ron and Aunt Joanna are here!" Andrew yells from downstairs.

I chuckle. Duty calls.

Now, go on and create your own story; maybe I'll even read it someday. See you around.

The End.

P.S. Hope you guys liked it. Thank you again for all your support for this story; it means a lot to me.

Let me answer a few unspoken questions for a moment here:

1) I left many couple's stories unanswered on purpose. Yes, you know that Ginny and Neville and Ron and Joanna are still all together but I left their circumstances up in the air for the purpose of letting your imaginations go wild. I know where they are in my head and if you'd like to discuss theories, I'd be more than happy to do it on here or on Tumblr, whichever is easier for you (although, I admit, Tumblr is a bit easier for me but it's not crucial).

2) Tina and Newt were part of the "everybody" who would be arriving for Harry and Hermione's announcement. Don't worry, they're still around.

3) ... Actually, I think that's it.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go study for my finals! See you all soon!

Stay Golden!
