Chapter 9: epilogue

**three years later**

Eleven years ago, Hermione left Hogwarts and England. Three years ago, she came back to Europe (Paris to be exact) with her five-year-old daughter, Gwen. There she met the love of her life, Harry, and got engaged to him. Ron and Lavender also got engaged. Now three years after that trip to Paris, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Potter and Mr. and Mrs. Ron Weasley have, well let's just say MORE things on their hands. Let's go see what going on with them right now.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione Granger Potter woke early one day. She didn't wake up all by herself though. She heard crying. Loud, annoying crying. She grunted. She was tired. She hadn't got any sleep since she took little Ethan James Granger Potter home. Ethan is an adorable one year old boy who looks just like his father.

"Hermione, Ethan's up. I think he's hungry," Harry said when he woke up. Hermione nodded and got out of bed. Harry followed her and they headed toward the nursery. When they got there, Hermione picked her little Ethan up while Harry made a bottle of warm milk.

"Shh. Ethan it's okay. Mummy and Daddy are here," Hermione cooed to him. Then almost right away, Ethan stopped crying. Harry then handed Hermione the bottle and Hermione started to feed him. Harry and Hermione watched in awe as Ethan drank and started to fall asleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Lavender Brown Weasley also woke up early that same morning. She too, also heard the same crying.

(A/N: For those who's brain doesn't work that fast (like mine), let me clue you in. Hermione, Lavender, Ron, Gwen, Ethan and Harry all live the same house. As you may or may not have also guessed, their house is pretty huge. Now I am talking mansion BIG, okay? So you can probably guess how huge that is. Anyway just filling you in!)

But it wasn't just the crying that woke her up. It was also her stomach. Lavender, at the moment, was five months pregnant with Ron and her first child. Lavender then got out of bed quietly, trying not to walk up Ron. She then went downstairs to the kitchen. She got out her favorite ice cream and started to eat. After about five minutes, her eyes got covered by big hands. Lavender knew right away who it was.

"Ron, what are you doing up?" Lavender asked.

Ron laughed. "What am I doing up? What are YOU doing up?" He then uncovered her eyes. Lavender then turned around and put her arms around Ron's neck. She smiled at him and gave him a loving kiss on the lips.

"What was that for?" Ron asked as he pulled away.

"Can't I give you a kiss?" Lavender asked with a hurt look on her face.

"Oh, yes, but I was just wondering...." Ron said in a sorry voice.

Lavender giggled. "You're forgiven. That kiss was for giving us our first child." She then patted her belly. Ron smiled and patted her belly also. They smiled at each other and kissed again.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Eight-year-old Gwen was in her room when she too heard her brother's crying. Almost every night she stayed up waiting for her parents to make Ethan stop crying. But tonight she was so tired of waiting for the crying to stop. She then got out of her bed and went toward the nursery. The door was little open so she took a peak inside. Gwen saw her parents watching Ethan sleep. She then entered the room quietly. Hermione and Harry looked up to see Gwen.

"Gwen, honey, what are you doing up?" Harry asked as she came into the room.

"I can't sleep. I've been up every night whenever Ethan starts crying. The only time I do sleep is when he's asleep," Gwen said in a tired voice.

"Oh, Gwen I'm sorry we've been keeping you up," Hermione told her.

"It's okay, Mum. He is so precious when he's asleep," Gwen gestured to her sleeping brother. She smiled at him.

"Well since he's asleep, we can all go to bed now." Hermione then set Ethan in his crib. She gave him a small kiss on the head and covered him with a blanket.

"Night Mum. Night Dad." Gwen gave her parents a kiss and then left to her room. Harry watched her as she left her room. He then smiled.

"I still remember when she was a little girl. Now she's all grown up," Harry said. He sighed. Hermione laughed.

"Oh, just wait till she's a teenager, Harry. Then tell me if she hasn't grown up faster than a blink of an eye."

"Herm, don't remind me. Well let's go. I'm tired and I want to go to bed. I have a long day tomorrow at work," Harry told her. Then arm in arm, they walked back to their room.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning Harry, Hermione, Ron and Lavender woke up to something smelling wonderful. When they all got downstairs, they found Gwen cooking a simple but big breakfast.

"'Morning, everybody! Now hurry up and eat before the food get cold," Gwen told everyone. So they all took their places at the dining table and started to eat.

"Gwen, this is delicious. How did you get all this cooked in time?" Lavender asked.

"Oh, I had a little help," Gwen answered mischievously.

"Help from WHO Gwen?" Harry asked her. She remained quiet.

"She got help from us," a voice said. They all turned around to see Sirius Black and Remus Lupin smiling at them.

"Grandpa, they weren't supposed to know you were here," Gwen whined.

"Don't worry about it, baby doll. Besides I wanted to see how everyone was doing. So where's my newest grandchild?" Sirius asked Harry and Hermione.

"He's upstairs, Sirius. But first give me a hug! It's been too long!" Hermione exclaimed as she gave Sirius a hug.

"Well it's really only been a month, Hermione," Remus corrected her.

"Remus, honestly. Come here and give me a hug." Hermione walked over to Remus and gave him a big hug. Everyone one else said their hellos while Sirius and Gwen upstairs to the nursery. After a while they came back downstairs with Ethan in Sirius's arms.

"Well finally you brought my son downstairs. How's Daddy's big boy?" Harry asked as he got Ethan into his arms.

"He's grown since the last time we've seen him," Remus told them. "And so has Lavender's belly. How have you been Lavender?"

"Well all I can say is that I'll be glad when this kid is born! It's hard getting from place to place now." They all laughed.

"Well something else has changed, too," Hermione told them. They all turned their attention to Hermione.

"What's changed, Mione?" Ron asked her suspiciously. Hermione stood up and took a deep breath.

"Everyone I have something to tell you that might, well, surprise you. Er.... I don't know what to say. I'm...." She then patted her belly. Lavender gasped.

"Oh, my goodness! Hermione, I can't believe it!" Lavender said as she went to hug Hermione.

"Can't believe what? Can you two explain something please?" Harry asked them as he gave Ethan to Sirius.

"Honestly, are you men that clueless? Don't you get it? Hermione, here, is pregnant." All the men then dropped there jaws. Hermione was right; this DID surprise them.

"Oh Hermione!" Harry said as he hugged her. "We're going to have another one?" Hermione smiled and nodded. Harry then beamed happily and gave her another hug. Then everyone congratulated Hermione and Harry on their new kid. This was a beautiful moment for Hermione. Years ago, she felt like she was living in a hell. That was, of course, before she fell in love Harry and married him. Now her life is like a dream come true. This was the beginning of a new and beautiful life.

Fin.
