It had been the most trying time ever experienced after their escape but in a way, they were free; free of the last traces of Voldemort and ultimately happy.
Immediately after they had escaped the wrath of the underground warehouse, all of those who had escaped were carted off to St. Mungos; whether they protested or not.
Severus, Ron and Draco had all escaped with minimal damage however Harry and Hermione had a bit more of a rough time afterwards.
Harry had to of course be healed for the multiple injuries he had sustained from the cruelties of his captors as well as go through extensive examinations and safety tests when it came to light that he had at one point lost his magic.
Hermione was lucky enough to find out that her baby had come to no harm during her time in Australia however she was alerted by the healers that should she wish to keep the baby, she would be in for a risky and possibly difficult pregnancy.
It wasn't a choice of course and the entire Weasley family stood behind Hermione in her decision to take it easy and go on with the pregnancy.
Draco couldn't return to Britain with the others as per his instructions upon his and his familys' exoneration after the war however he still communicated with Severus and indirectly with Harry quite often.
None of the members of Ultio Ultionis made it out of the warehouse alive and due to Harrys' realisation before his capture, the auror forces launched into a mission to investigate each and every case of suspicious Dark Lord followers' deaths from during the war; coming up with a number of vengeful family members and associates who also blamed Harry for Voldemorts demise.
Although it turned out to be one of the most difficult things he had to do, Harry sat down with Severus and the Weasleys one day and told them everything that had happened since he had started forming doubts about his magic and was pleased to find out that while he initially got a telling off from both Molly and a very pregnant Hermione, they supported him and understood and that was all he could ever ask for!
It wasn't a surprise when Severus had, one evening after a romantic dinner, got down on one knee and asked Harry to marry him, which Harry of course said yes to.
The real surprise came a few days before their scheduled wedding when Severus had dropped the blindfold obstructing Harrys' vision allowing him to see ahead, and what a sight it was…
Harry stood in Diagon Alley, on the threshold of his old bookstore however this wasn't his old bookstore.
What Harry looked at now was a finely designed heaven of books; everything in the store was either a shade of dark or light oak. The wall on his left, just as it was on the right was covered with fully stocked bookshelves while 2 large rectangle tables on either side, sat in front of the shelves with chairs completing the setting.
A large crystal chandelier hung high above in the centre of the store giving the place a golden glow. Two staircases right at the back of the store ascended into the 2nd level where not a piece of wall space was seen as the bookshelves spanned from the back wall to either side of where Harry stood. Wooden balustrades extended from the railing of the stairs all around the second landing allowing those on top to have a clear view of the ground floor and for Harry to be able to see the 2nd level clearly as well.
And right at the centre of it all stood a classy desk, fully equipped with a cash register and a little pile of Harrys' favourite novels.
Harry looked around in awe before turning to Severus with tears in his eyes, "Sev, what is this?"
Severus opened his arms for Harry and enveloped the younger man in an embrace before speaking, "Call it my wedding gift to you," he punctuated his sentence with a long, passionate kiss upon his intended.
Harry looked up and wound his arms around Severus' neck, "Gods, I Love you so much Severus but I didn't get you anything," said Harry as he flushed with embarrassment.
Severus smiled lovingly, "And I you Harry," his smile turned predatory as he spoke again, "Not a problem, I have an idea for one in mind."
Harry looked up his husband-to-be suspiciously, "And what would that be?"
Severus smirked before pulling Harry towards the nearest table, "I say that we christen all of these tables before you open for business."
That earned him a slap on the arm but as he swooped down and kissed Harry into oblivion, all was forgotten.
Stranger Things were bound to happen but Love triumphs all…
That's a wrap folks…
