A/N: This is the end, you know. The final chapter. It's so small, yet so beautiful. :') It's been a very stressful time and trying to upload these the fastest I could caused other problems. Either way, you have it, the last ever chapter of this story, the Epilogue of "The Snake, the Lion and the Lamb." I really loved this story and equeally hated it at some points when I had to edit for hours to make things right. I know, the first few chapters are just copy pasted, not even edited properly and all, and it's because it was so hard to edit it because of the length of this story.
So, with 1,4K words for the last chapter, I let Enigma write it on her own after finding a wonderfull way for the ceremony on some yahoo answers. :P
Enjoy, and I hope you had fun reading this story. :3 There are more to come soon, so don't miss out! :D

Warnings: None for this chapter, it all goes swell and lovely. ^^

Disclaimers: All the characters/places used belong to Joanne Rowling, besides the OCs. I only used them in my stories for entairtaining purposes. :D

Read and Review!

Epilogue

The months after the war were gentle, uneventful. Draco and Harry settled into a routine and the pair finished school with flying colors.

Snape took over as Headmaster, doing a really good job taking over after the great Dumbledore, and things started to look up for the pair.

Just after Harry's 17th birthday the pair were cleared for adoption, and took home a beautiful 4 year old boy named Scorpius.

With light blonde hair and stunning green eyes, he looked strikingly like them, the boy having come from a background similar to Harry's - his parents killed by Voldemort - which had made Harry determined to give the boy the most wonderful life they could.

Kayla continued to grow and snap up everyone's hearts. She was advanced for her age, by one she was running around, often chased by a giggling Scorpius, and Harry and Draco settled into family life.

The two were still very much in love, which everyone around them agreed would never burn out, they had already proved themselves and beaten obstacles most couples never come across.

Harry got a job in the Ministry, and Draco trained from home to become a Healer, and all was right in their little world. They had a healthy family, supportive friends and family, but there was still one thing missing.

Draco had decided to set it up as a surprise, with the help of Ron, Hermione -who had given birth to baby Hugo, early, just before Kayla was a year old- and both of Draco's parents. On Harry's 18th birthday, the cover story was a formal party at Malfoy Manor.

Everyone was there, all their friends, family, even the Dursley's had come. The place was decorated beautifully, and in the day they partied and opened presents.

Kayla wore a beautiful little white dress, Scorp dressed in the smartest grey suit and waistcoat, both looking adorable. But Harry didn't have anything to unwrap from Draco. Thinking it must be something more, he kept quiet, waiting excitedly.

Soon it became dark, the grounds lit up with firefly lights and sky lanterns when Draco stood to make a toast, "And now, for the main event. Harry, will you come up here?" he laughed and pointed at the stage he was on.

Blushing, Harry moved and joined Draco on the stage where a live band had been playing for them.

"Harry, it's now time for your present from me..." Draco grinned, nodding at a woman.

Harry didn't recognize the woman in the front row that stood up.

She moved over between the two, opening a book, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today so that this couple may wed."

Harry's jaw dropped at that, looking to Draco, his eyes glittering, "D-Draco...do you mean..."

"Yes, Harry, we are getting married." A cheeky grin met Harry's gaze.

Harry looked at him before tears started to run from his cheeks, hugging the blonde male close to his chest.

Scorpius stood up with them, holding Kayla, before Ron and Blaise moved to take their places at their respective friends' sides as the best men.

"We are gathered together on this beautiful afternoon to share with Harry and Draco as they exchange vows of their everlasting love."

"Who gives this man to be married to this man?" The woman asked once again.

Lucius looked at Draco, moving to his son to lead him to Harry's side with a small and contained smile.

"As Harry and Draco take their vows today, we are privileged to witness the joyous love of a new family - a family that will be nourished and nurtured through the devotion of two separate individuals growing together through the common bonds of love.
May their marriage bring them the peace, joy, comfort and contentment that is known in the hearts of all God's children. And may Draco and Harry both look forward to each new season of their marriage - just as the world looks forward to each new season of the year. For all seasons bring with them their own special moments and memories.
An essential requirement of a good marriage is a strong bond of real friendship and trust. Harry and Draco, your love for each other will grow deeper with every passing day, but it's important to remember that your love stands on a foundation of genuine, mutual affection and respect for each other. To truly love another person is to be willing to accept both their strong points, and their weak points, with equal measures of understanding and respect...

...The vows you are about to exchange, will serve as a verbal representation of the non-verbal emotions that are as real as anything that can be seen, heard or touched.
For it is not the words that you will speak today that will bond you together as one - but the strength of the love and commitment found deep within your souls."

"Before I continue, if anyone here has any reasons as to why these two should not be joined in Holy Matrimony, let him speak now or forever hold his peace."

Pansy stood up at that, "I do! Of course I do, Draco…this has gone on long enough, stop these stupid ideas, you're not gay, you don't love him, you love me!"

Harry's eyes widened on Pansy, his emotional state causing tears to spring into his eyes.

Draco moved to say something, but was beaten to it by Hermione who was sat by Ron, "Give it up you silly little girl!" she shouted, "Look at them, look at what he's done to do this today, to prove how much he loves him."

Ron stood as well, "I was shocked at first but bloody hell, no one's made Harry as happy as Draco has!"

"And no one has made my son as happy as Harry has." Lucius looked at Pansy, "So little girl, I think it's time for you to go."

"This is wrong, it's gross and wrong!" Pansy cried.

Hermione gritted her teeth and moved at that, her and Ron moving to pull Pansy into the house and away from the scene.

Draco and Harry looked to each other in shock, before back to the minister.

"May I continue?" she asked with a sigh.

Draco looked at Harry as if asking him, the brunette grinned and nodded.

"At this time, I'll ask you, Draco, and you, Harry, to face each other and take each other's hands." The woman smiled.

The Snake and the Lion joined hands, smiling brightly, their eyes melting in each other's as their hearts beat as one.

"Draco, will you take Harry to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish him friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"

Draco grinned and nodded, eyes filling with tears, "I will."

"Harry, will you take Draco to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"

Harry's eyes were full of tears, happy tears, happy that this was happening to them, "I will."

"I now pronounce you bonded for life, husband and husband. May your love forever shine through the darkness of this world and light your paths, keeping you two together, keeping your little family together as well, forever." The woman said with a smile. "Now hurry up and kiss already!" she laughed.

Harry laughed, though he was silenced by a deep kiss from Draco, his arms wrapping around the blonde's neck to tangle his fingers into his hair as everyone cheered loudly at them, including both Scorpius and Kayla.
