They lay in bed looking each other in the eyes as deeply as they
had ever done before. They were dying, and they knew they were
dying. Their family knew as well, they'd stayed the week at the
bedside of Harry and Draco Potter-Malfoy. The family had just
left a few moments ago to let Harry and Draco say good bye to each
other as they lay dying in each others arms.
Both of them were silent just reflecting back on the long life they had had with each other. Ten children, all twins, fifty grandchildren, 150 great-grandchildren and currently fifty great, great-grandchildren. Harry and Draco had a very love filled and fullfilled life. Their family adored them as did their friends, well what was left of their friends anyway. They were old, even for wizards, the ripe old age of 181 years each. It was also currently July the thirtieth. They now knew Harry would live to see 181 years of age but not a day after that, they would pass in a few short hours, it was currently eight in the evening. Of course, Harry and Draco had faught, they always had, but everyone always knew they'd fix it and be together again. In fact it was 100 years ago they even spoke of divorce, but decided against it. They could never live without each other, and had sat down for a long time and talked, it was a very rough two years for the family, but they all made it through just fine.
Harry had done well for himself on his own, since Draco hadn't wanted him out of his sight for a whole nine hours a day for Harry to have an actual job, Harry wrote, and wrote well. He'd gone under a pen name so he would be sure his books were enjoyed because of their content not because he was Harry Potter. His pen-name, he laughed everytime he thought of it, he'd used it for over 100 years and it had served him well all the time he'd used it, then it was leaked out that Harry James Potter-Malfoy was in fact James Padmoon. Sirius and Remus had given their blessing on the combination of their nicknames and had been honored Harry felt so highly of them to honor them in such a way. His books had been best sellers before the news leaked and became even more popular after the news had leaked out. The money Harry earned through his best selling books, both novels and instructional books all used at Hogwarts for over fifty years now as well as in the Americas and most of the other wizarding schools all over the world, was enough that the family could live quite comfortably without touching either Harry's nor Draco's inheritance. That would be able to be passed on to the children equally, and they had done quite well for themselves as well, as had their grandchildren and great-granchildren, so it was likely the money would be around for quite a long time.
Harry and Draco recalled everytime they had a birth of their children or their grandchildren, Thier youngest daughter was currently the Headmistress at Hogwarts on one of their grandchildren was the Minister of Magic. In their family they had had auror's, unspeakables, teachers, medi-wizards and witches, you name it, the Potter-Malfoy's had it in their family.
Harry leaned in towards Draco and kissed him softly on the lips. "I love you Draco and always will" Harry said weakly, he could feel his strength being sapped from him even just laying in the bed that had been theirs for the last 162 years. It was charmed to adjust to their aging bodies and also charmed to be destroyed when they passed on to the next life. Draco smiled sadly at his best friend, lover, husband, mother of his children and so much more that words couldn't express.
"I love you too Harry, always and forever" Draco replied just as weakly. He was glad they had lived so long together, but even he had to admit it was time to go, they were done. They were going to die together, within minutes of each other, for that he was grateful. He didn't know what was going to happen in the afterlife, or even if there was one, all he knew was he didn't want to live in this world without Harry. He hoped there was one, and if there was he'd want Harry there with him as well. But to be honest he didn't care.
"If I had to do it all again Draco, I wouldn't change a thing, I hope you know that. I don't regret a single moment we've had together." Harry slowly closed his eyes and sighed as best as a dying man cound and opened them again to see the stromy grey eyes he'd come to love so much wet with unshed tears.
"I wouldn't change a thing either my love." Draco replied slowly. He felt weaker then he ever had in his life. It was now twenty minutes past midnight and Harry looked him in the eyes, he knew it was going to be any minute now.
"See you on the other side my love, my life." Harry said ever so softly and slowly and after he finished he breathed his last breath. Only then did Draco let the tears fall and he too took his last breath from this life and passed on to the next one, his last thought was he hoped he'd be as loved in the next life as he was in this one.
A/N: Well that's it, it's over, I hope you enjoyed it. I have a couple of other fics I'm working on as well. Hope you'll read those when they are finished!
