Six Months Later

Life at Hogwarts had settled down again…well, as much as life can be settled at a school of magic. With Caleb now being eleven months old, nearly a year, Harry had more or less returned to working full time and Severus was in the headmaster's office a bit more often. Sometimes neither of them was able to watch Caleb so they would let Teddy, if he was able, or they would give Caleb to one of the other professors. There was always someone willing to watch over the little boy.

They had brought Caleb home to Iceland for the first time that past summer and they knew that he would love the place as much as they did. Though Caleb couldn't walk yet, though he would be soon, he was always crawling somewhere. They were outside for the majority of the summer and had to be careful to keep a close eye on Caleb as he loved crawling through the grass and loved doing it quickly.

Severus was sitting at the desk in the study while Harry worked his shift at the hospital wing. He had Caleb sat on the rug in front of the empty and warded fireplace surrounded by toys. He found contentment, as he had in the last few months, to have the sounds of Caleb's incoherent babbling as a part of the background noise. He glanced up from his paperwork when he heard shuffling but just found Caleb pushing himself onto his hands and knees to crawl over to a toy that had fallen out of reach. He returned to his work with a small smile.

The silence was broken again a couple hours later when the door opened.

"Ah!" he heard Caleb exclaim happily and he looked up to see Harry pulling off his robes.

"Are you back early?" Severus asked.

Harry smiled and shook his head. "No, you are just lost in your work. Hello there, Caleb," he added as he swung their son up into his arms, pulling an excited squeal from the boy. "Were you being good for Papa?" he said to the child and smiled as Caleb began to babble.

"Do I get no hello?" Severus said, raising an eyebrow.

Harry grinned and rolled his eyes. He placed Caleb back on the rug before walking over to Severus and kissing him. "Hello."

"Better," Severus said and Harry chuckled.

"So what are you doing?" Harry asked.

"Finishing the updated staff reports to send to the Ministry," Severus said. "Kingsley is getting pushy. Apparently I missed the deadline to send them in."

Harry hid a smile. "Sev'rus?"

"Yes?"

"The deadline to send the reports in isn't for another three days."

Severus stared at Harry, blinking. Harry watched him, his lips twitching. "I'm hexing him the next time I see him," Severus said deadpanned and Harry burst into laughter. Severus glared at him but it only made Harry laugh harder. In order to silence his husband, Severus pulled him into a kiss. When they broke apart, Harry wasn't laughing anymore but his eyes were bright with mirth and Severus rolled his eyes.

It was then that they heard the sound of Caleb giggling and also quite a lot of shuffling. They both turned to look at Caleb and their eyes widened. The little boy was grasping the edge of the coffee table and on his knees. He then proceeded to slowly pull himself onto shaky legs. The boy continued to sway even as he held tight to the coffee table as he stood on his wobbly legs. He turned and looked at his parents with a wide smile and giggled.

"He's standing!" Harry exclaimed.

Suddenly Caleb lost his grip on the table and he fell onto his bottom. The little boy looked at his parents again with wide and watering black eyes and let out a wail.

Harry and Severus chuckled and Harry walked over to their son. He picked Caleb up and laid his head on his shoulder, settling the boy on his hip.

"Oh, Caleb, you're not actually hurt," Harry said, amused as he ran a hand over Caleb's back and walked back to Severus. "Here. Go to Papa," he said and handing the still crying child to Severus.

"Come now, child," Severus said, placing his son on his lap, Caleb's back against his chest. "You were doing very well, Caleb. When you fall, you should try again."

"Are you really giving him a life lesson before he's a year old?" Harry said with a laugh.

"It's never too early," Severus said and Harry laughed.

"You'll be having him in the lab with you before he's five," Harry said.

"I don't think we have a Potions master in him but I will have him help me but not until he's seven. Five is much too young. He cannot fly a broom at five either," Severus said and Harry scowled.

"Oh, come on. There are brooms for five year olds that are safe. They've got all the safety precautions on them," Harry said.

"No."

"What about when he's six then?"

"No."

"He has to be seven?"

"Preferably."

"Git."

"Language. There is a child present," Severus said with a smirk and Harry glowered at him. Chuckling, Severus once again placed Caleb on the floor. The little boy had apparently gotten over his fall and was once again smiling. Harry and Severus watched as Caleb decided to try his skill at standing again. The boy held onto the table and pulled himself to his feet. Like last time, Caleb swayed and his legs wobbled but he managed to stay upright for much longer this time, giggling as his parents praised his accomplishment. He even continued giggling when he fell back onto his bottom.

"He'll be walking soon," Harry said.

"And scaring us half to death as he runs around," Severus pointed out and Harry nodded, laughing.

"He's already almost a year old," Harry said with a sigh as he watched Caleb play with his toys.

"We still have many years with him," Severus said, pulling his husband down onto his lap.

"But it'll go so fast and soon he'll be a teenager and he won't want to be with us," Harry said, leaning back against Severus.

"Not necessarily. Teddy does not wish to stay away from us," Severus said. "We'll figure it out once we get there. For now we will enjoy his childhood. There are still many years between then and now."

Harry turned his head to look at Severus and smiled. He kissed Severus' cheek and laid against his chest, both watching their baby son again.

Five Years Later

"Happy birthday to you!" the group finished singing and everyone applauded as Caleb Potter-Snape, now six years old, blew out his candles.

Everyone was gathered at the Potter-Snape cottage in Iceland for the sixth birthday of Caleb, the second child of Harry and Severus. Caleb, as always predicted by Severus, was becoming quite the Gryffindor and both of his parents knew he would be a lion once he entered Hogwarts. True, their first son, Teddy Lupin Potter-Snape, was their adopted son, but they had raised him since he was six so he was their son in all but blood.

Five years had gone by and much had changed. Teddy had graduated from Hogwarts and was now an artist of all things. No one had really seen it coming, not even his parents. He did both magical and Muggle art, making his magical pictures move. He hadn't been in the 'business' very long but he was already very well known and popular. Once Harry and Severus had made sure it was what he really wanted to do, they fully supported his decision to become a professional artist and they were pleased to see that he was so happy and successful.

Dean and his husband, Matt had their own children as well, having adopted twin girls that they named Vivienne and Genevieve. Luna and Sebastian had another baby girl that they named Roxy.

Harry and Severus both still worked at Hogwarts and all the others still had their same jobs as well.

After firing Hermione from Hogwarts and banning her, Ron, and any and all children of theirs from Hogwarts, they hadn't heard anything from or about them again. With Ron and Hermione gone, any others who had once hated and harassed Harry and Severus had backed off and appeared to not really hold anything against them anymore. Apparently, with the influence of those who truly hated them gone, the others had no one to follow.

One of the other changes and probably the largest one was the third child (the second birth child) of Harry and Severus. About three years after the birth of Caleb, Harry and Severus decided to have another baby. So Harry took the potion again and was pregnant three months later. Nine months after that he gave birth to a girl that they named Katryna Sasha. She was now two years old and the delight of everyone's lives. The little girl had long, shiny black hair that was thick like Harry's but shiny like Severus'. She had inherited the famous emerald eyes that her dad had. She was a beauty and her fathers were not looking forward to when she started dating. They could already tell, even though she was only two, that she was going to be a pure Slytherin just like her Papa.

"Time for presents!" Teddy exclaimed and Caleb clapped happily. He ran into the backyard with everyone following. They had decided to have most of the party out in the yard as there were quite a few people there, and several children. It was easier than trying to have the party inside and prevent the house from being destroyed.

"Don't open anything yet, Caleb," Severus said when they saw their son pick up a gift and nearly begin opening it.

"But, Papa," the little boy whined and Severus gave him a disapproving stare. Caleb sighed and nodded. He still held the gift but waited until everyone was sat around in chairs or on the ground before he began to tear it open.

"Daddy, up," a young voice said and Harry looked down to where his and Severus' daughter was standing next to his chair. She had her arms raised up to him in a clear demand to be held. Harry chuckled at her and lifted Katryna into his lap. Severus smiled at the little girl and kissed her head, making her giggle. Harry wrapped an arm around Kat's waist to hold her to his chest and held Severus' hand with his free one.

They watched as Caleb tore through his presents, thanking the givers of each every time he opened one and exclaimed happily over the gift inside. Harry grinned sheepishly when Severus looked at him when Caleb opened a little toy broom.

"You agreed that I could teach him how to fly when he turned six," Harry defended.

"You also asked me after sex," Severus said.

"And that's your argument?"

"It should be."

"You still agreed."

"Brat."

"Love you too."

Harry laughed as Severus rolled his eyes.

The party continued on for a few more hours, people finally beginning to leave around six in the evening. Jack, Benji, and Milo were the last to leave and they left at seven-thirty.

"Finally," Harry said, collapsing onto the sofa exhausted.

"Just in time as it is nearly time to put Kat to bed," Severus said, sitting beside him.

"I think we should turn in early. I am seriously tired now," Harry said.

"I think it's a lovely idea," Severus said, kissing his temple.

About fifteen minutes later, they picked up a sleepy Katryna and carried her up to bed where she immediately fell asleep as her parents tucked her in and kissed her head. Caleb was put to bed at eight and they went to bed themselves at only eight-thirty. Curling up to each other, Harry and Severus fell asleep quickly.

A/N: Yeah, I know. The whole 'conclusion' with Ron and Hermione sucked. You can satisfy your want for more conflict once this story is done. :]
