12 Epilogue

The last NEWT exams had been written this week and the seventh year's had only one more month to go, before they would leave the castle and start their own, new lives.

Draco sighed and cuddled the little girl again. She cooed happily and giggled, when he tickled her belly. Harry smiled at them and gazed back to the door. Severus and Sirius had just left, leaving them in charge o their child this evening to go out to London.

"Dray?"

"Yes?"

"Have you ever thought about what you will do after Hogwarts, except for the study to become a healer?"

"A bit. Why?"

"Do you think we will stay together?"

"I think, I'd like that. I mean, we have nothing to loose, if we stay together."

"How about living together?"

"You mean, in one flat - only we two?"

"Well - yes."

"I'm looking forward to it, love. I always wanted to make love to you in the kitchen!"

"What? Draco!"

"Stop pouting, if you don't like the kitchen, we can do it in the living- room afterwards-"

"DRACO MALFOY, you're insatiable - I love that! Come here, you!"

They kissed, carefully not to smash the baby between them. Serena giggled again and smiled at them with her toothless mouth. They smiled, when Harry looked at Draco.

"What? Why do you look at me so funny?"

"I just thought about having children."

"Oh - OH! Well, I.not now, okay?"

"Surely not! You cannot study pregnant!"

"ME? YOU!"

"I already have a contract with England and Brighton Flashlights, I cannot get pregnant while playing Quidditch!"

"And I can't work, if I am pregnant, so you'll have-"

"Stop yelling, babies like you more and this one will cry, if you don't be quiet now. She'll ruin our ears, you know how she is - only Snape's thump gets her quiet and he's not here!"

"Oh - of course, you're right. It's stupid anyway to argue about that."

"I love you!"

"I love you, too."

"But I want a child, sometime later."

"Me, too. But you'll carry it!"

"You always must have the last word, don't you?"

"Yes."
