Chapter Nine – The Ten Question
2017
The place could be at the end of the world, at the very edge of it, where only sea could keep up until the end of the horizon. The waves crushed against the rocky edge of the area, the house built close to that edge, the sun that had just started to rise was coloring everything in the colors of dawn.
The cottage's front door opened slowly and a woman moved out in her gown, walking through the front and getting closer to the edge of the cliff, there was nothing else but the house and the cliff with the sea right after it, the morning wind blew on her rich hair and she closed her eyes as the first sunrays caressed her skin.
She stood a couple of feet from the cliff's edge as not to get dizzy, the spells would keep her safe from a possible fall yet she had stopped feeling dizzy for other reasons in the past weeks and she quiet enjoyed it. She looked far in the horizon, where a team of birds were abandoning their summer home as the winter approached, even if this day was cloudless in the Scottish sky, the winter was starting and Hermione could only smile at the chance as she inhaled the clear salty wind.
The door opened again and a man in a shirt and slacks moved out of the house as well, two mugs with hot liquid in his hands, he smiled as the wind blew in his own messy hair and the memory of being on a broomstick made him grin, he loved his house for many reasons and one of them was the feeling the wind up there gave him every time he moved out of the building, as if he was flying. He approached the woman before him, hugged her with his arms wrapping around her after she took one of the mugs and his lips pressed on her shoulder right before she could turn her head and kiss his lips.
'It's so peaceful,' Hermione said in a soft voice and her husband smiled and kissed the side of her head as the two gazed at the horizon before them.
It had been six years ever since the fight out of London and Voldemort's downfall, Hermione had achieved to save Harry and take him from there. Ever since the couple made it to keep the slightest contact with the Wizarding world, with only Fleur left as their friend and each other for support and love, it wasn't too difficult after the few first months of the ministries and the newspapers searching.
Now the Potters kept themselves out of the Wizarding community and spent a lot of time in Scotland, where their new mansion was located, up to that cliff. They had a lot of proposes for work and employment, they were very valuable after all with all the things they knew about the remaining Order members and the Death Eaters that had survived that night in the store, but the Potters had refused to work for the ministry, the aurors and any other kind of organization and team, they had enough from everyone and their only concern was to protect each other from all of them.
The thought of completely abandoning the Wizarding World had crossed their minds more than once in the weeks that followed the battle but soon Hermione was learning news that kept them bound with their magical roots.
Little Lily and little Jane Potter arrived in the world ten months after the end of the battle, making their parents keep their connection to the Wizarding world as eventually, their kids would need to attend Hogwarts and live a normal life with their magical nature. The couple had been scared to death about the prophesy and how they would make it not to take the wrong path, it'd be devastating not only for them but also for their precious daughters with the emerald and the chocolate brown eyes.
That was the main reason the Resurrection Stone now laid in the bottom of the ocean, somewhere before the cliff and the Elder Wand was broken by the couple and burnt in a fire that lasted seven entire weeks. Only the cloak remained in Harry's possession as it held emotional meaning to him.
The couple and their daughters rarely made an appearance in the community but the couple made sure their children would be socially capable by having them visiting the village close to the cliff and London in a few occasions via apparition.
Harry took a sip from his coffee and smiled at Hermione whose eyes drifted close as she enjoyed her tea, his free hand caressed the little lump before her and kissed her neck this time, softly and tenderly, taking care of the small bruise he had caused the night before, after their daughters had fallen asleep.
'She likes tea, I think,' Hermione said softly as she leaned on her husband's front as he held her close to him and Harry grinned and caressed her belly again, another daughter, he didn't mind, as long as she was healthy like her sisters, he could have all the daughters of the world, after all, little bossy versions of his wife with the same gentle smile and perky little nose was all he ever wanted.
'We need a name for her,' Harry whispered close to his wife's ear and she smiled.
'Anything in mind for our third girl? Giving our mothers' name to our twins was an excellent idea but now it's time to put our brains to work,' Hermione said and Harry chuckled, their little girls had taken their dead grandmothers' names as to honor their sacrifices for the children they never got to raise.
'What about Alice?' Harry offered and Hermione glanced at him. 'It's Greek like yours, means noble and truthful, she can be our little Alice in Wonderland, literally if you consider the Wizarding world,' Harry added and Hermione chuckled and caressed her belly above his hand and her gown.
'You've been researching baby names again?' she asked and Harry grinned, blushed and nodded. 'Alice Potter,' Hermione vocalized the full name and Harry grinned. 'Lily, Jane and Alice,' Hermione added and then smiled. 'I like it,' she finally said and Harry grinned and kissed her lips as the couple fell in comfortable silence again, enjoying only the sound of the thundering waves down below the cliff end.
'We have to go to the therapist and then to your healer.' Harry said after awhile and Hermione groaned but nodded her head as they both stood barefoot before the sun that rose higher and higher in the sky.
They weren't sure why they had set an appointment with the annoying muggle after all this time, they were surprised he still remembered them since they had visited once in common and once respectively on their own, yet they had decided to go, reflect on their relationship through someone else, someone who was supposed to have a diploma on reflecting at relationships and being paid ninety pounds per hour for it...
'Besides, Fleur wants to see her Goddaughters.' Harry added and Hermione drank more of her tea and nodded her head. Right that moment the door of the house opened again and two little girls ran out of it, one with long messy, black hair and the other with long bushy brown hair, their eyes sparkled with the sunlight caressing them as they rushed close to their parents who broke the hug and opened their arms for their little twins that fell in the hugs happily.
The floo was the best way of transportation for the family of four with Hermione expecting. Fleur in her house, waiting for them and hugging the little squealing girls that hugged their only relative with love.
'We should go to France for Christmas, see my sister Gaby and her new baby, she'll love you girls,' Fleur said and the girls clapped and looked at their parents who only smiled.
'We can leave them here for a few hours right?' Hermione asked and Fleur grinned.
'I will make sure they'll be fine,' Fleur said as she hugged her best friend and caressed her four and a half month belly. 'How's my next Goddaughter?' Fleur asked and Hermione smirked.
'Kicking and tossing like an unhappy spirit since my womb is smaller than she hoped for it to be.' Hermione said and Fleur smirked as well.
'That or someone is tiring you in the nights….' She added and Harry grinned as Fleur's eyes fell on the bruise on Hermione's neck as the brunette blushed.
'Oh hush,' Hermione only said and Fleur laughed.
'So what progress have you made in the past six years? Seeing you together must mean something…' the therapist said, an hour later, as he looked at the couple before him on the armchairs, they were not tensed and the fake smiles were finally gone, now they seemed like a couple that had just met or something and not married for twelve years. The doctor would swear the man's eyes were honey colored and not green but he was probably mistaken, he also couldn't remember the lightning shaped scar on his forehead but a lot of things can change in six years…
'Uhm we're doing alright, aren't we?' Harry said as he looked at his wife who looked back at him with her finger playing with her lips. 'We have two girls and another on the way and we're doing fine… of course, I'm not gonna lie… they're times that I want to…' Harry added and showed with his hands a straggling gesture 'Kill her,' he said and Hermione spoke right then.
'Likewise,' she said in a lovely voice and he grinned.
'But I couldn't take the shot…' Harry said as he grinned back at his wife, ever since the battle and their victory, they enjoyed every moment with each other, no matter where they were or why, they made sure they were each other's center of attention.
'That's a good sign, sometimes you have to battle it through…' the therapist said and the couple looked at him oddly.
'Battle it through, you have no idea how literal you're there, doctor,' Harry murmured and Hermione grinned.
'That's marriage, right?' Hermione asked for confirmation and the therapist nodded. 'Oh we moved in a new house, ever since the girls' birth we needed more space and the old house felt like it wasn't the right place for them to live.' Hermione added.
'So we blew it.' Harry said and Hermione smirked this time, for the doctor before them it was just a way of speaking, for themselves, it was the pure truth.
'I see, well it's good you are able to make changes together, it helps you involve as individuals and it makes the marriage work.' The oblivious therapist said and the couple nodded.
'So far,' Harry said and Hermione looked at him bewildered.
'So far? What is that supposed to mean?' she asked with a laugh, what else could happen for them to fight and stay together?
'I'm just leaving space for the unknown, you said it yourself, happy endings are only stories that haven't finished yet,' Harry said defensively and Hermione looked deep into his eyes with the smile still on her face. They had been through hell and they knew everything could change in a single blink of the eye, they were accustomed to such changes, one day they were pretending, the next they were learning they were sworn enemies and the day after it they were fighting against their greatest enemy in common.
'So far…' Hermione finally said and shook her head with the smile still on, she would never, ever allow anyone or anything to ruin their lives again, they were way past that time.
'You feel that your relationship style is now more-' the therapist had started to say while Hermione looked at him with a confused face and Harry was scratching the back of his head and eventually interrupted the upcoming hard-to-comprehend-let-alone-answer question.
'Ask us the sex question,' Harry cut in and Hermione's confused face turned into one of light warning.
'Harry…' a slightly blushed Hermione only said in a whisper as the therapist had frozen.
'Uhm, erm, well…' the therapist stammered as the man before him had floored him.
Harry only grinned and opened his palms to show all ten fingers, before he could mouth the magic number…
'Ten…'
