I could see my love herding the little one to their rooms; soon our friends would be here to celebrate two years of peace.
After the Aurors took our depositions, Hermione explained what happened, and the founders said their will, everything seemed to move smoothly. I never though that I would be married to the youngest minister of Magic in wizarding history. She was perfect for the job, and the condition of all the inhabitants of magical Britain was better these days. Starting with the werewolf, and elves, Hermione continued with the centaurs, the vampires, and merpeople.
Fenris and his pack stablished in our land, and they have aa easy and quiet life. Hermione gave them our potion and they would transform, but they would be able to control their instincts. To have a safe place to call their own and to settle down, helped a lot. When Fenris's mate gave him his first born, she was named after Hermione.
Lucius followed Hermione to Wizengamot, convincing Draco, Harry, Neville, Sirius, and me to follow her. She needed us to change our ways, he said. With so many children of working parents, her first change was to establish a kindergarten and a pre-Hogwarts school. Both ideas were received with an ovation from the community. The children arrive to Hogwarts with less problems and the quality of their work was superb. Many good changes like this assured her reelection last year.
"Love, everything is ready?" Hermione asked, with our children following her. At 28 years old, she was beautiful and I felt lucky to have her.
"Yes, the elves helped me prepare the tables, and the place for the babies."
"Great! Some of the new babies needs some quiet," Hermione said while fixing my robes. "You look handsome!"
"You are stunning!"
"Mom, godfather just arrived,! Sery said, tugging Hermione hand.
"Go greet your godfather, love," Hermione said, enjoying the connection between her child and her brother.
"They are close; they enjoy brewing together."
"None of his children love to spend time on the lab. They love to parade around like Lucius," Hermione said, laughing.
"You are the only one who can say that without being hex."
"My brother is a sweet, I know," Hermione said.
Our friends arrived and the children left for their private party. Our elves would be there to assure that they would not made many problems or stupid things. Once, they decided to search for a mythical animal that only existed in their imagination. They destroyed our rose garden as the creature lived underground. Hermione cried for a week after she saw her roses dying. Our children were punished for two weeks.
"Hermione! You looked beautiful!" Draco said kissing her cheek.
"You look nice! Any news?" Hermione answered.
"Luna is pregnant again. Twins this time, two boys," Draco said, helping Luna to sit on the table.
"Two more Malfoy in our world, can you believe it?" Harry said.
"The world will be better with the new addition," Lucius said kissing Luna's hand.
"Yes, with another Snape too," Ginny said, caressing her big belly.
"Another surprise?" I asked, and some of the smiled.
"A baby boy," Hanna said blushing.
"A little girl here," Remus said, kissing Tonks's head.
"A little girl!" Sirius said.
"Twins, a girl and a boy," Hermione said, and I looked at her overwhelmed.
"Love?"
"I found this morning," She said, smiling.
"We celebrate today the peace we found, the family we have, and the new friend we welcomed," Severus said, raising his goblet.
"We thank for the changes we brought to our world," Lucius said.
"We celebrate our life, and the future that our children will bring."
"Thank you for being here, in our life, sharing our happiness," Hermione said.
I looked at Hermione while she talked with our friends, and family. I looked at the children running around, yelling, and enjoying. I looked at my friends while they talked about their dreams and plans.
I close my eyes and I did the same thing I did for the last ten years. I prayed.
I hoped for a future in peace and understanding, I hoped to see my children growing up, knowing they had family to stand for them. I hope to grow old with my love by my side. I thanked the gods, for my life, and the chances I got to redeem myself.
"Love, are you ok?" Hermione asked me, and I took her in my arms, kissing her softly.
"I was never better, love. Thank you for giving me a chance so many years ago and showing me what I was missing in my life."
"We have to thank an old fool, who decided to give you a chance for once, leaving you name in the pool. He never thought that you only needed some love to change," Hermione said, cuddling against me.
We stayed like this, witching our friends enjoying the party, and our children running around while we sat enjoying the sun.
