Epilogue

Platform 9 ¾'s

Golden sunlight filtered into the large bedroom through a narrow gap in the curtains that floated back and forth in the gentle summer breeze. The gentle chirruping of an early bird made the two occupants of the king size bed stir weakly in their sleep, unconsciously turning around to face the warmth of their bed partner. The coolness of the sheets spread out beneath them and the gentle warmth from the early morning sun coaxed them to wake up slowly. Draco woke up to the sensation of hairs tickling his skin. He cracked an eye open to see Harry already awake and brushing stray hairs behind his ear. The sensation tickled him and made him bury his head further into the pillows. The brunette man beside him chuckled but didn't stop tickling his husbands ear until he finally groaned and swatted childishly at Harry's hand, with an adorable pout twisting his mouth. "Stop it, Harry!" he whined lamely, his voice still a little slurred from sleep, "We don't need to wake up today!"

"Yes we do," Harry murmured in a low rumbling voice as he scooted closer to his husband, "It's only Friday. Tomorrow we can have a lie-in. That was the deal."

Draco huffed and refused to open his eyes as he batted his hand over at Harry's smiling face. "Why won't you let me sleep?!" he whined as he yanked the duvet back over his bed-ruffled hair. The next thing he knew was that the covers were tugged back and he was exposed so the soft heat drifting in through the curtains. "H-a-r-r-y!" he whined, clenching his eyes and fists shut tightly. He pouted before feeling the warmth of Harry's body pressing down on top of his chest, "Oof! Get off me you oaf. You're too heavy!" he grunted as he tried to push his husband, only to hear Harry's deep-throated laughter. A grin tugged at Draco's mouth as well and soon he start to laugh a little reluctantly too.

"Come on now, don't be such a sour puss on Cece's big day," Harry taunted as he pressed warm, sleepy kisses up the blonde's throat and over his temples.

Draco frowned in the middle of rubbing sleep from his eyes, "Huh? What are you talking about Harry?" he grunted in an exasperated manner.

Before the brunette man could answer their bedroom door crashed open and a blur of dark hair shot into the room and started to bounce up and down on their bed, being careful to mind their splayed legs. "I'M GOING TO HOGWARTS TODAY! I'M GOING TO HOGWARTS TODAY! DAD! You two have to get up now or we'll be LATE!" Harry pushed himself upright to grin up at her before swiping at her legs and tugging her down between himself and Draco, tickling under the little girls arms and legs over and over until she was writhing and red in the face from all her laughing. "D-a-d-d-y!" she cried out through tears of mirth as Draco started to tickle her toes as well.

Soon she was close to hyperventilating when they finally relented and she was able to breathe in deeply.

"We have plenty of time Cece, now if you really want to get everyone out on time, I think you need to go and wake the boys up. You know how they like to sleep in," Harry teased with a little wink as he brushed her long dark hair out of her eyes. She grinned up at him before scrambling off the bed, her light pink dotted pyjamas scrunching up around her ankles, before she bolted from the room to harass her siblings. Harry smiled and shook his head as Draco yawned, stretched and slid out of his side of the bed.

Within moments distant cries of shock and yells of 'I'M UP! I'M UP!' carried through the house. Draco chuckled low in his throat as he wrapped himself in a light dressing down and shuffled over into the en-suite. Harry watched him go and then chuckled to himself as he slumped back onto the plump pillows. Cecelia had grown into such a hyper-active young girl and he couldn't say he didn't love it; next to James' athleticism, Albus and Scorpius' studious attitudes and Lily's bright wisdom, it was nice to have such a young minded child to care for. In the end, he hadn't wanted to blood adopt Cecelia. Draco had been confused at first, but Harry had insisted that since she already looked like the both of them, and that she had his surname as well as Draco's, she already felt like his. Blood technicalities were such a prehistoric worry that he refused to say anymore about it. In the end Draco had simply been happy when he's signed the regular adoption papers -no blood required.

With a cheerful smile on his face, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed and tugged a shirt on over his head before trudging downstairs to start breakfast for everyone.

As he was frying up some eggs and sausages in the pan, James trudged in, in a pair of worn out jeans and a hoody, he slumped down on the table and ran his hands roughly through his messy hair. Right behind him came Teddy, a wide grin on his face and his hair a bright turquoise as he ruffled James' hair and came over, asking Harry if he could help with anything. Harry put him in charge of drinks and buttering the toast for everyone. It amused him to no end that James hated waking up when Teddy was nothing if not a morning person. How they had managed to live together would forever be a mystery to him but then, he hated waking up early when Draco would be up at the crack of dawn if Harry let him. Now at the age of twenty-seven, James would be moody until he at least got food and coffee into his system. This was one of the rare weekends when he and Teddy stayed over to visit as they both wanted to see Cecelia off on her way to Hogwarts. Teddy still worked at Hogwarts as both the groundskeeper and Care of Magical Creatures professor. It was the perfect job for him, always being outside and caring for animal. James meanwhile had taken the part-time position of Flying Instructor, and when he wasn't teaching the students he was helping George in the workshop in Diagon Alley.

Next to drift into the kitchen was Lily, her long sleek red curls floated behind her as she adjusted her Ravenclaw tie at her throat and settled down opposite James, suppressing a smile as he waved her to be quiet. She swiped her sleek hair up into a high ponytail and then smiled over her shoulder at her dad, "Aren't you going to get dressed yet, Dad?" she asked as she leaned around in her chair.

"I will after breakfast. Your father went in there right before I came down and you know how long shampooing his hair takes," he threw a wink over his shoulder and she giggled along with Teddy's loud bark of laughter -a trait no doubt taken from Sirius.

As he thought about his Godfather and Remus, Harry couldn't help but smile. They had left their flat in Narcissa's care -although it was still smaller than what she had been used to -whilst they went to travel Europe the muggle way. Sirius had always been fascinated by muggle travel -hence his motorbike -and Remus had more than happily agreed, especially that his son had married and moved out. They were free to enjoy themselves.

For her part, Narcissa had been to Azkaban to see Lucius in the last couple of years. No one could really understand her decision to do so, least of all voluntarily, but she had merely explained to them that no matter who you are, being in Azkaban for a lengthy period of time with no visitors and no break from the same routine day-in and day-out, it would surely drive someone to dark thoughts. And considering that Lucius had eventually been the bigger person, she thought he deserved a microscopic bit of resolution. She didn't forgive him for what he did, she had made that perfectly clear to everyone. But in her heart of hearts, he had shown that he could still be the man she had fallen in love with and married, and she wanted to give that Lucius, some resolve. She had explained to Draco and Harry once afternoon, that it broke her heart because he was a withered down old man now and whenever they spoke it was almost as though he was reverting back to his younger self, the man who had escorted her through the Manor gardens and told her how beautiful she was.

After the conversation Draco didn't have the heart to argue with his mother's choices anymore. If it gave her some peace of mind, then she could get on with it.

Turning back to the breakfast Harry couldn't help but smile in regards to his eldest daughter. No one had been surprised when she's written to them and told them that she was in Ravenclaw. What had been a surprise, was that Hugo had been sorted in their as well. According to Ron he was a closet-know-it-all. Everyone wondered how Rosie didn't go to Ravenclaw instead of her brother since she was always with a book about her person, but Hermione had merely shrugged and said "Like mother like daughter, I suppose." Harry was glad that she and Hugo got to be close though. Everyone teased him that they were going to be like Ron and Hermione, dancing around one another until seventh year. Hugo had surprised everyone in fifth year though, when he had finally plucked up the courage and asked Lily to the Christmas ball. They had been dating ever since. There was some stigma attached seeing as they were first cousins, but Molly had hushed it all away, saying that it never did anyone any harm in the past unless they were brother and sister. According to old pureblood customs first cousins had married in the past, to keep the line 'pure' and whilst Harry had originally turned his nose up at that explanation, Hermione explained that although they didn't hold those same traditions, it would help with any of the articles that may or may not get printed.

It was to everyone's peace of mind that Rita Skeeter had lost her job in Lily's third year.

Albus and Scorpius both sauntered into the kitchen at the same time, both looking rather pristine, especially in comparison to James who was almost falling asleep in his hands. Harry said a cheery 'good morning' to them, which they both returned as they took their seats. Harry looked over at them with pride as he brought the large dishes of sausages, bacon and eggs over to the table, whilst Teddy followed behind with two large jugs, one of water and one of pumpkin juice before hurrying back to get the pot of black coffee, for James. He chuckled low in his throat when his eldest son snatched at the pot and poured himself a steaming mug full before humming as Teddy dropped a kiss onto his forehead. The two of them had bonded with one another the previous Winter in early December.

It had been in the Daily Prophet the following day.

Scorpius and Albus were close to ending their Summer apprenticeships in Diagon Alley; Albus was studying underneath a well known reporter for the Daily Prophet so learn about journalism and Scorpius was apprenticing in the Apothecary across the street, so they met up every day for lunch. They did want to start their own business but up until the previous Summer, Harry was still confused as to what it was going to be. Unless it was creating new Prophet updates about the latest potions.

Draco and Cece finally came into the kitchen both washed and dressed and smiling brightly as they came and settled down at the table. Draco looked handsome as ever in a white button down shirt and black, pressed trousers and black shoes, whilst Cecelia had her long dark hair combed into a braid down her back and she was wearing a red short sleeve shirt and blue quarter length jeans and small sandals since the weather was still effortlessly hot. She beamed up as she reached over and started filling her plate with toast and eggs with a fat sausage.

They settled into their usual routine of general chatter and everyone encouraging Cece for her big day, even though she didn't seem nervous. If anything she couldn't wait to fly the nest. They had arranged to travel to Kings Cross station via magically enhanced cars, similar to the ones Arthur had ordered from the Ministry in Harry's fifth year. They were travelling in two cars and would meet one another out the front of the station before going inside and meeting the others at the barrier to the Platform.

As soon as everyone had eaten and Draco had cast a charm on the washing appliances at the sink to wash the dishes whilst they were out, and ushered Harry off to shower and dress before the cars came to pick them up. He'd grinned, kissed his husband and the bolted from the kitchen, almost tripping over Cece and Lily's trunks propped up in the hallway before hurrying up the large staircase to his bedroom. He made short work of washing himself, shaving with a charm Ron had told him actually worked wonders -apparently Hermione had used it once on her legs and loved the results -He had been reluctant at first but couldn't resist trying it when he had been running late one morning. The following day, he had thrown out the muggle razors and shaving foam. As soon as his cheeks were smooth and fresh, he towel-dried his hair and then sauntered back into the main bedroom to choose his outfit.

He still couldn't believe Draco had taken him to get a whole new wardrobe after they were married. Hermione had laughed as he'd recalled the day to her later the evening it had happened. He'd merely grumbled as Draco had insisted that they send all of Harry's old clothes -save for his wedding robes and a few wizarding robes -to a muggle Charity Shop. Hermione had been sympathetic and together she had managed to salvage a few more outfits from his old wardrobe, mainly the winter clothes, but even she couldn't deny that some of the things he owned had been awful.

"They're not that bad!" Harry had complained, only to have both Hermione and Draco turn to him with 'are-you-serious' expression on their faces. Eventually he had collapsed face-down on the bed and grunted his way through the rest of the afternoon.

He drew out a dark blue shirt made out of a thin fabric so that the heat of the sun wouldn't make his skin itch inside the shirt. It was one of his favourites and couldn't deny that Draco did have excellent taste. He slowly did the buttons up his front, leaving the top two undone, and then slipping into some jeans and slipped into a pair of casual loafers. Once he was dressed he adjusted his glasses, attempted to tame his hair and then hurried down the stairs as soon as he heard Draco's call for him to come down.

Cece could hardly keep still as they drove the forty minutes to Kings Cross Station. She had the biggest grin on her face that was contagious as Lily tried to get her to sit still, despite laughing herself. They chatted light-heartedly with their dads as the driver maneuvered them around the tightly packed London streets. By the time that the car pulled up outside the station it was already half past ten. As they hauled both of the trunks out of the enlarged trunk, along with Lily's owl and the small wicker cage that had Cece's new cat inside, the second car pulled up and Teddy, James, Scorpius and Albus climbed out, all looking a little pink-cheeked from the heat.

"Alright are we all ready?" Draco asked as he double-checked the everyone was there. Satisfied he nodded his head and then turned to lead the way inside. Cece stuck close by him as she wheeled her trolley clumsily in front of her, whilst Lily came up behind deftly guiding her trolley as she chatted with Albus about his apprenticeship and to let her know of anything that might come up for her as soon as she graduated.

As soon as they came face-to-face barrier, Harry suggested that the others go on ahead. Teddy and James went first, marching briskly beside one another, Teddy's hand in the small of his husbands back, before they disappeared through the barrier. Lily hoisted herself up on her trunk despite Draco's scowl, and looked over her shoulder at her older brothers, "Come on guys, my last turn. Push!" Despite Draco's movement to protest, Scorpius and Albus grasped the hand-rail and ran as fast as they could towards the barrier, Lily laughing brightly and clapping her hands as the barrier swallowed them whole.

"Ooh she is pushing her luck," Draco seethed under his breath.

"Oh Dad please don't be angry at Lily. It's her last year! She won't ever get to go to Hogwarts again!" Cece piped up, her bright silver eyes gleaming as she looked up at her father.

Harry laughed and ruffled Cece's fringe, "Don't you worry, love, he's just sad because you and Lily won't be here until Christmas and he'll miss you both."

Draco snorted but was effectively placated as he looked back down at Cecelia, "So are you ready, Cece?"

She bit down on her bottom lip and shifted awkwardly, "M'scared," she muttered as she cast her eyes downwards.

"We'll go together," Harry assured her, bending down to press a kiss to her cheek. "All three of us."

"Really?" she asked peering up at both of them, her heart hammering inside her chest.

Draco placed his hand along the handrail beside hers, so that she was standing sandwiched between both of her dads. Sharing a grin with Harry, they turned slightly to the side and after the count of three they all ran awkwardly towards the barrier and laughed out loud that they had all managed to get through. They had barely moved away from the barrier when they were assaulted by Hermione and Ron hurrying over to hug them all tightly and press kisses all over Cece's bright pink cheeks.

"Oh, I can't believe Cece's going to Hogwarts already!" Hermione gushed her eyes already shimmering with tears, "I can't believe how grown up they all are."

Harry nodded his head, "Don't worry, we've got another six years after this," he stated with a mock-exhausted expression which earned him a prod in the side from Cece who stuck her tongue out at him.

Hermione rolled her eyes, "That may be but now that we've managed to convince the board at the Ministry and opening a chain of Granger's Cafe in Hogsmeade I'll be twice as busy keeping everything in check."

"Well that's still good especially now that the twins are going to school too," Draco stated as he looked down at Jason and Deborah who were chattering with Cecelia off to one side of the adults conversation. Jason had somehow gotten Hermione's mop of honey-brown curls whilst Deborah had her hair cut into a bob of sleek red hair, much like Lily's had been in her first year. It left him feeling quite nostalgic as he peered over at Lily and Hugo standing coyly together, Lily holding onto the strap of her bag and twisting one leg beside her with a faint blush on her cheeks, whilst Hugo, now a tall six feet, looked bashful as he ran a hand through his hair. No one would have guessed they would be nearing their two year anniversary. They were so besotted with one another.

Hermione's voice drew him back into the conversation, "True but then I'm going to have to do all those interviews for new staff, and it's going to be dire!"

"What about Lily?" he asked as he drifted back into the chat. "I heard her ask Al to keep at ear-out for work but if she had some experience whilst at school -even a weekend job -it might look better for her."

Hermione hummed in thought and then frowned, "Wouldn't it distract her from her studies?"

Harry shrugged a shoulder, "Well just talk to her about it. Maybe only on Saturdays or something. I'm just worried since it took forever for Al and Scor to get that apprenticeship and before that they also worked at your cafe. It just seems like a good starting point."

Hermione looked over at Lily and her son and nodded, "I'll definitely owl her about it and see if she's interested."

The whistle signaled that the students had ten minutes to get onto the train before it left the station. With that the groups dispersed to help their children to get all their belongings on the train. It was a little awkward, trying to hand the wicker basket with Cece's cat to one of the helpers but as soon as everything was settled, she turned around and threw her arms around Draco, burying her face again his stomach, "I don't want to go anymore!" she whimpered softly.

Sharing a surprised and confused glance with Harry, the blonde man bent down to his daughter's level and stroked her fringe out of her eyes. "Come on now, sweetheart, you've been looking forward to this all Summer," he placated as she stuck out her bottom lip in a very Malfoy-ish pout. A trademark from her father, Harry wouldn't help but notice with a smile.

"But what if I get sorted into Hufflepuff or something like that?" she asked with a frown.

Harry bent down and smiled, "Don't worry about that sweetie. If you don't want to be there you don't have to be, you know that," he tickled the soft spot behind her ear and she smiled reluctantly, "Now come on, give us a hug. You need to get on board soon."

She threw both of her arms around her dad's necks and pressed big kisses to both of their cheeks before she was ambushed by Teddy and her other siblings in a big group hug. A camera flash went off somewhere from Ron's hands as he snapped photos of the twins and Harry and Draco's kids before they clambered onto the train, Lily leading the way with Hugo, who had to duck to step up into the train. Cece waved enthusiastically threw the door window before she skipped along behind her sister and the twins to find a carriage to themselves. Hermione had her hand over her mouth and trying to stop her lip from wobbling as she watched her two youngest children settle down in a carriage with Hugo and Lily and a Slytherin who they were friends with, called Peter Stafford.

Harry breathed out a deep sigh as Draco's arm wrapped around his shoulder and hugged his close against his lean chest. "I didn't think this day would come so soon," he murmured as he laced his fingers with the blondes. "All our little ones are all grown up now."

Draco smiled and pressed his lips to his husbands forehead, "Don't you start crying now, love, Christmas will come all too soon, believe me."

"So you're not thinking about having any more then?" Ron asked, his fine red hair gleaming with a few threads of white. He grinned wide as Harry spluttered.

"I think we're done pro-creating for this life-time," he stated with a sly grin, "After-all we are almost in our fifties. I think it's time we had a little 'us' time."

"What did you have in mind?" Hermione asked as she dabbed at her brown eyes and let out a watery sigh as the doors of the train slammed shut.

"Maybe another trip to Bora Bora. Or we could go to the summer house in France for a few weeks and relax?" the blonde man smirked as Harry flushed bright red. "What about you two? Isn't it time for another little holiday for the both of you? Go back to Greece, the summer house needs more good memories," he asked with a wink at the couple in front of them.

Hermione shrugged, "I think we could take a holiday before the Cafe opens in Hogsmeade. It won't be open until late October, so we have plenty of time. Plus you're due a lot of holiday from work," she smiled as she leaned into Ron's embrace.

The shrill whistle exploded across the station, alerting everyone that the train was about to depart. They all turned as they watched Albus and Scorpius leaning up to drop bags of sweets through the window of their compartment with sneaky grins before James and Teddy waved at Harry and Draco before swinging their back-packs over their shoulders, with all their shrunken belongings, and stepped up onto the train too. They needed to be their for the welcoming feast and to get everything settled for the first load of lessons on Monday morning.

As steam plumed down around and the train started to shift along the tracks, Harry felt his heart lurch when Cece ran back to the door window, pulled it down and starting waving out enthusiastically, her bright features shining in the rays of sunlight as she was pulled away from him and off on her next big adventure. Draco squeezed his hand tightly, and he looked up to find the blonde's eyes shining with tears and his smile wobbling as though he were about to cry. Harry smiled to himself and brought his husbands fingers up to kiss them. "It'll be alright," he murmured softly, "She'll write to us tonight."

Draco nodded, "I know. It's just going to be weird to not have her and Lily around the house."

Harry let out a breath as the Hogwarts Express finally turned the corner outside the station and disappeared from view. That was it. She was gone. Now they would be alone for the rest of the day as Scorpius and Albus would be taking a port-key to Diagon Alley at 12pm. Until then they planned to hang about muggle London.

With a soft sigh Hermione turned to them, Ron's arm slung over her shoulders and her brown eyes shimmering still. "I feel like I don't know what to do with myself now," she mused.

Ron chuckled beside her, "What are you talking about, 'Mione? We're going to go and do all those things we've complained we couldn't do 'cause we were running after the kids." Hermione rolled her eyes and swatted his arm but he only laughed happily.

Draco shrugged, "Well I think I want to get a holiday in before the weather gets too cold. We haven't really been on a holiday since our honeymoon. We could always take a leaf out of Sirius' book and do some travelling?"

"Do you think Scorpius and Albus can managed the house alone?" Harry asked with a frown.

Draco shrugged, "If not, it's the time for them to learn. They're old enough for some responsibility, Harry, you know that."

"I suppose," Harry murmured as one by one they all drifted through the barrier to Kings Cross station. Albus and Scorpius waved goodbye to them at the entrance before heading along to where they would activate their port-key to work. As he stretched his arms out in front of him, he turned to Hermione and Ron, "So are we still up for dinner at yours tonight?" he asked with a smile.

They nodded their heads, "Of course. The first grown-up get-together in months!" Ron grinned. "We'll see you tonight around eight-ish?"

"Sound perfect," Draco smiled as he slid into the back of the car they'd hired for the morning, Harry slipping in beside him and slamming the door closed. It only took them about twenty minutes for them to return home and relax for the rest of the day, clearing away little bits and pieces and enjoying the summer sunshine until it was time for them to go to Ron and Hermione's for dinner.

"Do I look okay?" Harry asked as he fidgeted on their doorstep as he straightened out his collar for the third time in a row. It was starting to bug the blonde so he slapped his hands away and fixed Harry with a firm glare.

"Harry, these are your friends. They've seen you covered in blood and a lot worse. Stop fidgeting will you?" Draco asked with a roll of his eyes before he dropped a gentle kiss to Harry's forehead. "I know you're excited about Cece's letter, but think how they feel! They've got two kids being sorted to gush about."

Harry couldn't fault that his husband had been right. Almost as soon as they were tucking into Hermione's roast beef and potatoes, she couldn't hold it in any longer, looking as though it was the best news in the world, which to her, it obviously was. "They both got sorted into Gryffindor!" she chimed brightly as she looked over at the both of them, "Jason was a little nervous since he was right after Debbie, and he said she was sorted almost instantly but the hat took a little longer with him. But eventually he'd also been sorted in with her."

"Another set of Weasley twins in Gryffindor? I hope their dear uncle George doesn't supply them with too many tricks of his trade," Draco grinned with a wink.

Hermione blushed softly, "Oh I'm sure they'll be alright. They'll have to deal with me otherwise."

"It's true," Ron stated, "Remember those detentions we used to do with Snape?" he asked across the table. Harry and Draco nodded, "She's worse."

Hermione jabbed him with her elbow, "I'm not THAT bad, Ronald. Honestly," she shook her head with a small smile, "So what about Cecelia? What house did she get into?"

Harry rolled his eyes, "Oh come on, 'Mione, there's no way you don't considering she was sorted into Gryffindor as well!"

Hermione grinned, "I know I'm just glad that they're all going to be together."

"Oh Merlin!" Draco groaned in a dramatic manner as he dropped his head to one side.

"What?" Ron frowned over at him.

"That means my daughter is going to be a part of the next Golden bloody Trio!" he let out a dramatic cry and dropped his head onto the table, gently knocking it. The other's couldn't help but laugh out-loud at his suggestion. Wine actually dribbled out of Ron's nose, much to the hilarity of the group. He couldn't help but chuckle along with them. He shouldn't have been surprised that one of his little girl going into Gryffindor. He smiled as he took Harry's hand underneath the table.

By the time they got home from dinner that evening, their bellies were full and they felt nothing but content as they drifted through the house in the evening gloom. Scorpius and Albus were already in bed, judging from the gentle snores they heard on their way through to their own room. They undressed in the dark and simply dropped their clothes onto the floor, not having the energy to throw them into the hamper. They slipped into bed between the cool sheets and gently leaned against one another, with Draco on Harry's chest and listening to his heartbeat and playing with his fingers.

"I never thought it would come to this. Living in a house with all our children grown up and no real plans for the rest of the month," he mused softly as Harry's fingers threaded through his silky hair.

"I know what you mean," Harry murmured softly. "I never thought I would feel old."

Draco snickered, "We grew up before our time. At least now our kids can be happy."

Harry nodded and was silent for a couple of minutes before he finally asked, "So are you upset that Cece is in Gryffindor?"

Draco shook his head, "I was a little surprised, but I don't care about any of that, much, anymore. Besides, the dungeons are not really the best place for our little girl, is it? All cold and leather and dark colours. Cece deserves loud, noisy colour. That's what she's got."

"So -you're happy, right?" Harry asked as he peered down at the blonde in his arms.

Draco lifted his head up and rested his chin on the tan chest of his husband, "I've literally never been happier," he slid his fingers in between Harry's, his thumb stroking the wedding band on his husbands finger, "Never."

Harry smiled as he leaned forward and pressed a kiss on Draco's forehead, "So tomorrow? We going to book that Port-key to France?"

"Definitely," the blonde grinned as he winked before crawling up the length of Harry's body sliding his hands down under the waistband of his pyjama bottoms and hovered over Harry's lips, "I think we were promised some alone time."

With that, he sealed his promise with a kiss.

THE END.


A/N: Well there you go my darlings, that is the end of my story. I probably should have ended the story with Bora Bora but I had a few loose ends to wrap up. I hope you enjoyed the journey of this story, the pairings and the drama/angst! I've loved all your reviews and I hope you like this last little chapter too.

ALSO: I didn't mention anything about Albus and Scorpius relationship is that there wasn't one. It's implied that their closeness was an effect from their abusive / neglectful childhoods and that they sought comfort in one another, but since they had a proper family unit to go back to they matured and gradually grew out of their affectionate stage -you know become more 'manly' -but they still shared a room and spend a lot of their time together. They just want to focus on their studies and go from there.
