A Few Years Later
"Morning Hon," Mark said rolling over to face Ginny. She gave a yawn and fell out of bed. Mark gave a pearly white smile as he looked over the edge at his fallen girl. Three years, Ginny thought, three years and now Mark is mine! They weren't married yet, Ginny was sure he would propose anytime soon.
"Masters, Mrs. Weasley asks that you attend breakfast." A house elf said looking away from the scene of the two lovers.
Ginny was fully dressed and sitting at the dining room table in Weasley Manor. After a few years of working for Wizzin' Magazine, Ron became the top photographer next to his boss, the owner of Wizzin'. He married Rica, had a beautiful baby girl, and made a Manor where The Burrow's vast backyard used to be. The Burrow was down graded to a two floor homely house now that all the children had moved out.
Charlie had kept to himself for the past few years burying himself into his work and refusing to see any kin or friends of Ron. Bill climbed the business latter at Gringotts and got as high as a human was aloud to get in the Goblin run system. Arthur Weasley retired back to The Burrow and let Percy take over the ministry. The twins moved to America and opened a now large corporation of prank toys for Muggles, they estranged themselves from the family for unknown reasons. Harry, Hermione, Ire, and Nome had become an inseparable pair and still visited any Weasley's they could see as much as possible. Mark dumped Nome and began dating Ginny in Moscow; with the new title of lover Ginny was sure she would be marring him soon. As for Draco... no one had seen him since Ron and his crew left for Moscow years back.
Ginny sighed as she remembered Draco. Something wasn't right about the memory of Draco. It seemed broken, confused, and incomplete to her. She couldn't properly place that abstract feeling. Where Draco was concerned something wasn't right between them since... since before she could remember. She watched as everyone gathered around the table.
Rica helped feed Marie applesauce. Ron was flipping papers over looking at the list of model's that would be attending today's shoot sessions in the studio that was attached to the house. Mark sat next to Rica and began to make faces at Marie. The baby burst out crying in fear of Mark. That always happens... I wonder when I have his kid, if I do, will it treat Mark the same way? Babies don't really like him. Ron suddenly came to the rescue sweeping Marie up into his arms while he juggled the papers making funny noises for his little girl.
Suddenly he began to laugh. Ginny looked up from her breakfast after him, "What's so funny?"
Ron put the relaxed baby back in Rica's care, "Look at this. It's a newcomer model named Drake Pendragon. You know the legend of Arthur right? I just found it slightly funny he had the last name Pendragon; I hear the boy's got some talent. We'll see. Ginny, Mark, are you two up for some shooting today? We have some new swimwear... I trust you won't mind sporting it with a few other people?"
Ginny and Mark agreed they'd help and finished what little breakfast they were given in no time.
^^^^^
Snape yawned as he clamored out of bed and down the hallway of his house. Into the living room he went and to the kitchen near by summoning up some coffee. A nagging feeling brought him back to the living room where he saw the three of them sprawled on the floor by the fireplace. Anger weld up inside him. His Animagus form took over his mind like it had never done before. A loud howl broke into the air and instantly Snape was no longer there. In his place stood a wild black wolf that was too wild to control even for an Animagus and was angry that a one Mister Remus Lupin was bugging in on it's job as daddy dearest to it's little werewolf son.
Pansy instantly was up and pulling her son to safety. Sleep never impaired her actions just as it never did Lupin who was also up and on the defense. "Snape?" The wolf growled at Lupin. "Severus! What is wrong with you?" Lupin said backing away towards the closet. The wolf howled making a ravage jump towards him. With lighting speed Lupin avoided Snape and locked himself in the closet hoping that would be enough, though he knew it probably wasn't.
Pansy held her son behind her in a corner. "Severus, please!" She called out. Only seconds after she spoke, Snape was standing up straight and tall as a human once again but something wasn't right. Pansy looked him up and down. In his eyes there was a wild fierceness. He gave a satisfied smile.
"I'm sorry I can't control it anymore. I've been hiding it from you... I'm really sorry but he's been pissing it for so long and you've been helping. I want to have some quality time with my son and wife alone without that home wrecker in the way. I deserve that much." Snape said darkness clouding his face. Pansy felt her son wiggle out of her grasp and walk up to Snape. She watched in horror as her son leaped up into his arms and cuddled his father lovingly.
"Zachary, honey, be caref-" Pansy said but was cut off by Snape hissing at her with sharp teeth.
"Dad's finally like me! He's my daddy not Mr. Lupin! I wanna have fun on the Full Moon with him, not the pack leader!" Zachary growled back.
Pansy slummed against the wall, Why is this so wrong? What is it that feels wrong? She looked at the door and realized what had happened, I've fallen in love with Lupin... was I planning to take Zachary away from Snape... did he sense it? How come I didn't notice even I was going to do it? What am I going to do I don't want to leave Zachary in his care. He's mad just look at him.
Pansy retook control of her body and stood up straight, "Snape... I'm leaving you and I'm taking Zachary with me." She walked over to the door and as if on cue Lupin unlocked it and came out.
"Pansy I don't think this is a good idea.... Snape is right, He deserves to spend time with his son now that he can." Lupin pleaded.
"You're joking? He doesn't have that wild beast under control... What will he do when they hunt together? Will he eat my son? What if he just leaves Zachary out there all alone, Zachary isn't strong enough to hunt alone!" Pansy hissed.
Snape stopped whispering to his son and put him down. Zachary walked slowly over to Lupin and Pansy and compliantly grasped her hand signaling he was ready to leave. "You can go Pansy, yet I want you to remember you sleeping around caused all this."
Pansy gulped and rushed out of the house without another word before Snape could reconsider letting his son go. She also left before Snape's words and stares could take hold of her and drive her mad.
^^^^^
"Hey Charlie! Decided to show up for one of my famous shoots?" Ron grinned adjusting a camera for the shots. The four models stood silently, waiting for Ron to give the go ahead. Ginny peered at the boy and girl across from her. The girl seemed normal enough boy, he seemed in the wrong body somehow. The hair you dope, Ginny hissed at her mind. She gave the boy a quick once over and saw that his gray eyes didn't match his marigold colored hair.
He gave a brief smile to the girl next to him and began to show off for the camera. Ginny looked at Ron's upset face and realized that at her gawking Ron had become ready. "Sorry brother." She laughed making a theatrical dive to Mark for the camera.
"So this is your third year in modeling?" Drake, Ginny suspected, said smiling to the girl. She nodded blushing slightly as they styled a bit more for the camera. "Well, Alex, I think you do a wonderful job. Maybe you and I should pose for coats in winter, Fall's coimg soon you know."
Alex laughed stupidly, "Well sure, Drake anything."
Ginny did a strange twist to Mark and fell to the floor. She looked up dazed at him; a frown tarnished his perfect face. "Thought, you weren't paying attention." She frowned herself noticing that strange dark look that over took Mark.
"Here cousin let me help you." Drake said holding a hand out to her. She didn't take his hand trying to put his face to a name.
Drake's gray eyes... who did they remind her of? His eyes, they looked so mature, his face so weathered with knowledge. She imagined what they would look like as a child's eyes, foolish and unknowing. "DRACO!" Ginny gasped.
He closed his eyes silently withdrawing his hand, "Drake, Drake Pendragon, Ginny get it right."
There was a loud crack that broke the moment between the two. Turning to look at Ron that saw in shock that his old American friend Falsaya who wasn't there before. Falsaya furrow her brow and frowned, "I can't... I can't get... Charlie!" She called out turning to the tall Weasley walking away.
Perfect, it had all been prefect before... before that! How could I forget? Dragons were so perfect `till him then he left and I forgot; now he's back and I feel broken again. Charlie thought as he hurriedly rushed to his room. Just as Ginny had done he grasped the nearest resting potion he had, which without him realizing was a heart relaxer for Heart Attacks, and downed it without another thought.
Falsaya sensed all of this without moving. No one had followed Charlie nor seemed to care, but she knew better. She reached out to the first able mind. She saw several normal minds around her. She even felt the bridge like pull of Ron's mind. She felt a mind with two mixed presences with a third artificial one. There was another mind covered in shield, she poked at it several times with needle like attacked and saw the knowledge to save Charlie. She ignored the final wild mind's will to eat them all in the room.
She put a strain on herself to hold that mind in her mental hands and make it do as she willed. She pulled hard on it and forced its magic abilities to apparate to Charlie's room. Frantically she ran through the mind's thoughts and found a strange spell and forced the mind to cast its power on Charlie. Charlie awoke with a groan and as quickly as Falsaya took control of the mind and ran through it sweeping the memory of her control from it and snapped it back to the present room.
She reached out to Charlie mentally panting, which she quickly remedied by stealing some of the vast spare magic Ron had and plunged into Charlie's mind finding his strange reason for attempting and succeeding in suicide. There! She mentally shouted plunging for the thought of Draco... the dragon boy? Strange... Charlie... you love dragons... you don't care whatever Draco does, he not a real dragon even as an Animagus, you like real dragons, real dragons Charlie. Draco is a fake, it doesn't matter what a fake dragon human or not does you, you like real dragon. Forget Draco, Forget Draco and his form! She mentally chanted forcing Charlie to take hold of his life again.
She was again tired and still not done as she pulled again from Ron's reserves. She searched as quickly as possible she found his suicide attempts and successes and made them disappear. She took a soft almost loving touch on Charlie's mind and suggested for him to go sleep.
Finally when he moved towards the bed she brought her mind back to her body and found it had only taken a minute, a minute which Ron had saw everything of. Her connection granted him that. She looked at all of the people around them. Ginny wanted a pain reliever, Mark complained about being momentarily woozy and Drake just sat still holding Alex's hand.
I want to know more about that mind. After all, all the magic lies within the mind. Thus muggle born and poor pure bloods are in existence. The mind I had was strong! I'm lucky I acted fast before it knew what happened. Whose is it, is the question. Falsaya asked herself.
^^^^^
"Do you want to play with Nanny Nome, Ire?" Nome asked holding out her arms to the little girl. She shook her head hard letting her black brown curls fly around her face. Ire laughed around running to the kneeling woman. Just like my baby. Sweet little thing, I want her back. Yet, if she is happy, can I take her away from her? I've been around this little one so long... I've lost my native tendencies of shallow heartless actions, or have I? Could I still rip the head of this little thing without the least bit emotion?
Nome pushed Ire back hard sending the little three year old to the floor with aloud thud. Ire broke out crying. Nome tried to hold her body in place it worked. If only for a second, then Nome gasped as she brought the girl to her hushing her softly, "Oh honey I'm sorry... I didn't mean it. Are you okay? Did I hurt you? I really didn't mean it sweetie will you forgive me? I promise I'll never do it again!"
Nome held Ire close against her body, rocking the girl back and forth slowly oblivious to the watchful pair of green eyes on her assessing her every move, gleaming with interest, happy with the fact something was revealed.
^^^^^
Zachary took the little mini-van car and rammed it against the little convertible with a fake crashing sound erupting from his mouth. "DIE!" He shouted laughing happily. Pansy looked down on her son with such eyes he felt he hated her.
"Zachary give me those. You are not to act like that," She said only to receive resistance, "give me that damned toy NOW!" She shouted grasping the toy car harshly away from the boy. Lupin came in and saw the action.
"Pansy dear, be a little more gentle with him, he doesn't no any better. Please be quiet." Lupin said. Zachary snuck away as Pansy and Lupin began to engage in a loud conversation.
He took off all his confining clothes and got on all fours in his bed. Circling around a few times he laid down in a tight ball. "Za-ch-ar-y." A little hoarse voice called. Zachary leapt up with a little yelp and turned to the window. He saw the handsome clean pale face of his father.
"Daddy." He smiled pushing his window open. Snape climbed in and laid down in the bed. "Won't they smell or hear you?" Zachary said.
Snape smiled disrobing for his son's benefit. "Only you can smell me in this house... and as for hearing that was spelled away too. For tonight no one will be able to hear anything outside in here or in here outside. Understand? As for these clothes... you must hide them if you wish to keep them in remembrance of me. Pansy may not smell them, Lupin either, but they can be seen, son"
Zachary nodded taking in all the information as he laid out Snape's clothes on his bed and cuddled them as he laid to sleep in them. "I'll come for you during the next full moon son. Wait for me." His father said and promptly leapt out of the house in only his shorts leaving the rest of his clothes for his son.

"Morning Harry." Hermione said as she cluttered into the room dropping her briefcase and parchment packages.
"Long time no see." Harry said clearly angry. Hermione rolled her eyes as she slumped down into the kitchen table chair.
"Ready?" Harry said to no one seemingly. Picking up a rock from the table he threw it back behind his back. Hermione opened her mouth to ask what he was doing but a black streak passed and the rock was gone from the air. A second later the black streak stopped by Harry to reveal Hermione's daughter Ire with her growing mane of wild black hair. Her golden-rimmed glasses sparkled in the light.
"When did she get glasses?" Hermione questioned clearly in shock.
"Yesterday, I've been telling since last week that I'll be taking her to the eye doctor because she was complaining about seeing funny. Nome picked out those pair for her." Harry said tossing a bagel back onto his plate and receiving the rock from his daughter threw it again. "She's a lot like me. Great seeker talent, poor sight, black hair, and a growing dislike of her mother's inability to be there!"
Hermione slammed her hand against the table, "Harry I told you my work is important. I'm teaching people to become Animagi and holding weeklong camps makes it easier for them. Incase you haven't noticed where do you think all this money comes from?"
Harry frowned, "The easy way isn't always the best," He against got the rock and threw it back, "my family is falling apart. Hermione if you keep on with this there won't be any us. There will be Hermione Granger again and Harry Potter, Ire Potter, and Nome Docac."
Hermione turned white. How could Harry do this? Why would he do this for me! Why doesn't he understand that I'm doing this for them. All of it for them! "Well Harry! You wouldn't be able to leave me because I'm leaving you FIRST! We're getting a divorce, you'll see the papers in the mail soon."
Harry nodded finishing his bagel putting his plate in the sink and turned to dismount Ire from her toy broom that rode just as good a Nimbus with a height limit. Hermione scowled reaching for Ire first only to have the girl scream, begin to cry and slap her away, "Daddy! Help me! Daddy! Get me off this thing! Get me away from that stranger!"
Hermione gasped, My daughter doesn't even recognize me? Am I really that bad? No I can't be! I'm smarter then that! "What are you going with her?"
Harry turned to Hermione, "Buying my little honey," He said tickling Ire, "some new prettier robes, maybe a pretty velvet pink one," He turned asking his daughter, "would that be nice?" Ire nodded happily and they walked out without a word.
Hermione gave a wild scream and turned to see Nome. The girl had changed dramatically since Hermione last saw her, at least six months ago. She had grown her hair out down past her shoulder dying it dark brown and got a tan. Hermione thought she actually looked humanly pleasant now and nothing something out of a black and white movie that all the men would fall for and wish to grope!
"It's your fault! It's your entire fault. You've been trying to sleep with him behind my back! Haven't you? Of course you would, who wouldn't want to sleep with the famous Harry Potter! You bitch! You get out of my house." Hermione shouted rushing down the hall as Nome made her way out of the house.
She flicked on the bathroom light and saw a ghastly sight. A pale woman with bags under her cold emotionless eyes. Her busy hair lay limp without it's bounce. She had thinned to an unhealthy looking size. She looked fragile and hateful, I look like McGonagall! Will my future be like hers?
^^^^^
Mark had left Ginny standing out in front of the restaurant while he paid the bill. She was shivering as the cold chilling air pressed against her make up clad face. She was cold in her sleek expensive dress as she tapped her feet on the floor.
"Hello! Good looking!" someone called out. Before Ginny could respond something slammed against the side of her head and she was out cold.
The three strangers tied her up lugged her into an alley muttering and cursing to the fourth one waiting by a dumpster. "Shut up, she's a impossible strange one. The element of surprise saved your life. Remove her wand and mute her. Make sure you disable her ears with a silence spell. She must not know where you stand or what you know. The littlest information will set her off, she is dangerous! Do you understand me she will NOT be under estimated."
The three followers nodded and dragged Ginny away as the fourth slowly followed.
^^^^^
Well what do you think? Good ending? I hope!

We find out what Snape is planning. The old art of divorcing and child custody in court wizard-style. Zachary meets Ire, is it love at first sight?
