The rest of the year passed uneventfully. Harry's millions of fans followed him everywhere and wanted to hear his story over and over again, so he was very popular when he graduated. Mrs. Weasley found out about Ron proposing to Hermione and set a wedding date immediately. Their wedding was set for July the twenty-third. Ginny was the maid of honor, as predicted, and Harry was the best man. The entire Order of the Phoenix and their families (including Mundugus Fletcher and Brandy Randy and excluding Snape) came... even Dumbledore. When Hermione, dressed in a flowing white wedding gown, threw the bouquet, Nassandra (who looked temporarily normal), caught it, much to the surprise of everyone. Sirius groaned and said he felt old as it was and didn't need anymore grandchildren, especially not Weasley ones, which made everyone laugh.
Sure enough, Nassandra married George only a few weeks after Fred proposed to Angelina Johnson, which she accepted. Everyone attended this, as well, when it was held over Hogwarts' Easter Break and only one month after Harry had begun his training as an Auror. When Nassandra threw the bouquet (of daisies, since she didn't like it when the roses pricked her), Angelina caught it, which was no surprise to anyone.
When Angelina threw her bouquet, however, Kim caught it and she and Harry grinned at one another.
It was with a light heart and her heart bubbling with happiness, that she finished her final year of Hogwarts with all of the N.E.W.T.s that she needed to become a Healer. Happily, she applied for the job and got it.

"Kim," Harry called throughout his godfather's house, "KIM!"
"She's outside, Harry," Nassandra yelled. Nassandra had been visiting her father to show off her large stomach, courtesy of George.
"Okay, thanks," Harry replied, touching his pocket for good measure, where he felt a lump and took a deep breath.
"Good luck," Sirius said from the doorway.
"What do you mean?" Harry wondered, facing his godfather.
"You're going to propose, aren't you?" he asked, pointing to Harry's pocket, in which the lump was showing through.
"Yeah," Harry replied and smiled.
"Good luck," Sirius repeated and clapped a hand on Harry's shoulder.
Quietly, Harry went outside and found that Kim was outside talking to Hermione, who was also sporting a rather large stomach (she was expecting any day, already), courtesy of Ron, who was only a few feet away and looking light as a feather with pure joy.
"Hello, Harry!" Hermione said, waving, "like my new look?"
Kim giggled at Harry's reply, which was; "It makes you look like you've smuggled a beach ball under your robes."
Hermione laughed and Ron crossed the lawn over to Harry, "House ready yet?" he inquired.
"Just finished," he replied, grinning.
"Oh, wonderful," Hermione said, "may we have a look?"
"Sure, you can go in yourself, right? I've got something to ask Kim..."
Hermione giggled again and grabbed Ron's wrist, pulling him away as she caught the drift.
"Question?" Kim asked, turning to face him.
"Yeah," he replied, getting down on one knee, "will you marry me?"
He pulled out the lump from his pocket and revealed a velvet box with a glittering golden ring inside.
Kim's eyes got wide as she looked at the sparkling emerald studded there. "Y-yes, of course," she murmured and Harry slipped the ring onto her finger. Then she flung her arms around his neck and began to cry.
Harry became quite alarmed, as though he were afraid he'd done something wrong.
"Er..." he began.
"Harry, I love you!" she sobbed. "I love you..."

The very next morning, Hermione went into labor and gave birth to a baby boy, who was named Arthur, after his grandfather. This made Mr. Weasley very ecstatic. In fact, all he seemed to want to do was hold little Arthur, but every single time he did, the baby would cry.
Harry and Kim set their wedding date on August the twenty-ninth. Exactly one week before Nassandra had her baby, who was a little girl and was given the name Sunday, because Nassandra insisted upon the name instead of Georgia, as George had wanted.
Then August the twenty-ninth came around the bend and Harry and Kim exchanged their vows. Nassandra and Ginny were bride's maids and Ron was the best man. When Kim threw the bouquet, Luna Lovegood, who now ran The Quibbler, caught it. Harry was also surprised to find that the Dursleys showed up for the wedding, although they seemed to want to leave very quickly in the room full of wizards. They met Kim for the first time and Dudley, at least, seemed to think Harry had gotten a good catch, as he kept eyeing her the entire time. He stopped pretty quickly, however, when she turned into a mongoose and ran around the table. They did leave very shortly, because the Weasleys were in the room and the Dursleys had never quite forgotten them, try as they might.
Angelina had her baby not too long afterwards. It was a girl, who they named Molly, making Mrs. Weasley just as excited as her husband had been when his other grandchild had been named Arthur. Luna and Lance were married, as was Bill and Fleur.
Ginny almost married Orlando, but they never even got past the ring before Orlando mysteriously disappeared and didn't come back until after Ginny had married James, instead, who she decided she liked better, anyway. Michael married Natalie Lupin once she'd graduated. They tried to have kids, but after the twins came out as a vampire and a werewolf, they decided against it in the future. Their names were Wolfsbane and Vampira, but ironically, Wolfsbane was the vampire and Vampira was the werewolf. Sirius wouldn't leave Remus alone for months.
But Harry and Kim had been married for three years before anything happened.

"Harry, love?" Kim inquired, walking into the room she shared with Harry. She'd woken up hours before, but had left him sleeping for once.
"Mmm?" he asked, not even bothering to open his eyes.
"I went into work this morning-"
"Mmm hmm…"
"-And I wasn't feeling well-"
"Mmm hmm…"
"-So I asked for 'the test', you know-"
"Mmm hmm…"
"-And it came out positive."
Harry's eyes snapped open. "You're pregnant?" he asked, incredulously.
Kim smiled, "Yep. There's seven months to go, I'm already two months into it."
Harry stared for a moment, then broke into a grin, "I'm going to have to tell Sirius." He got out of bed and kissed her passionately, when the front doorbell rang on their home in Godric's Hollow.
"I'll get it," Kim said, heading for the stairs.
"You're pregnant, I'll get it," Harry contradicted.
"But, Harry-!" Kim whined, "I'm not going to stay in bed for seven months!"
Harry scowled but Kim smiled and she headed for the door, opening it to reveal both Sirius and Remus, who had decided to stop by just to say 'hi', which they did often, and to check up on Harry.
"Hello!" Sirius boomed, happily as Harry appeared and Kim sat on the sofa in the living room. "We just decided to drop by." They came inside and sat in the living room.
"How come you're not in charge of your grandchildren?" Harry asked, grinning.
"We managed to sneak off," Sirius replied with a chuckle. "Anything new with you two?"
"Kim's pregnant," Harry replied, his face glowing with pride.
Both Remus's and Sirius's heads turned to Kim, who smiled, happily.
"Seven months to go and I only found out this morning," she added.
"Congratulations," the both of them said in unison.
Sirius smirked, "Little Harrys?"
"We're not sure if it's a boy or a girl, yet," Harry replied, grasping Kim's hand.
"I'm not even sure if there's only one," Kim added.
"What d'you mean?" Harry asked at once.
"Well the Healer who works alongside me gave me the results and he said that there's a good chance that there might be twins," she replied, smiling at Harry's stunned reaction, which Sirius and Remus laughed at.
"If only James could see this," Remus said, shaking his head.
"He can, though," Kim replied. "I took one of those stones into the veil with me and he can see anything he wants through it."
"That's odd," Sirius commented, for lack of anything else to say. "So he knows I'm a grandfather?"
"He'd be deaf and blind if he didn't," she answered.
"Darn. He's probably laughing his head off at me," Sirius said.
They talked a bit longer before Sirius and Remus left, wishing them luck with the pregnancy. Then Harry went into a speech about the things he was longer going to permit her to do, lest it endanger her or the baby or babies.
Kim sighed. It would be a long, hard seven months.
0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0
Surprisingly, the months went by quickly and Kim's stomach grew larger and larger, until her day was due almost any second. Judging by the looks of things, there was definitely more than one baby. Her stomach was huge! She went to Ron and Hermione's house one afternoon, where Hermione became excited at the size of her stomach and Harry was still glowing with pride. Hermione was expecting once again, but she was only three months pregnant, while little Arthur wandered around, bumping into things.
Midway through dinner, Kim went into labor.
"Hurry, we've got to get you to St. Mungo's!" Harry said quickly, abandoning dinner. "Can you Apparate?"
Kim nodded, painfully and did so to where she normally did when she came to work. Her co-worker, Jim Fulke, welcomed her and was about to start talking about a woman who'd just come in after being trampled to near death by a manticore, before he spotted that she was in labor and rushed her into a room and started telling her to take deep breaths. He called for Ginger Hawkins, who was also working that shift to help, while Harry stood by Kim and held her hand. Ron and Hermione went off to alert everyone. Within moments, all of the Weasleys and their spouses, Sirius and Remus had Apparated into the hospital.
Then they waited. Kim and Harry had waited through similar pregnancies. They waited for hours. The children fell asleep. Finally, a long time later, Harry emerged hastily, "They've got one, it's a boy," then he disappeared again, only to reappeared moments later saying, "another boy." The popped back in then reappeared saying, "There's triplets. Three boys."
Everyone became excited and congratulated Harry, wanting to know if they could see Kim. They came in a few at a time to see the three boys and an extremely tired Kim, who seemed to want to nod off at any moment.
"Three boys, eh?" Sirius laughed and Kim grinned weakly, while Harry basked in his pride at his new family (three members of which were being cleaned up and were bawling at the top of their lungs).
"Any idea what you'd like to name them?" Nassandra butted in as the three children were handed to Kim. Two of them quieted within mere minutes, but one continued to scream.
Kim, who looked extremely tired, handed one quiet baby boy to Harry and said, "This is James." She took the other quiet baby boy and handed him to Harry as well, "This is Remus." Lupin looked shocked and Sirius grinned at him. Then Kim began to try and quiet the screaming baby and said, "The loud one is Sirius."

All three babies were brought home in three days time and little Sirius continued to scream, making a rather tired Harry joke that the name fit perfectly and Remus agreed.
All of the babies had messy, jet-black hair, but James's eyes were emerald, Sirius's were brown, like Kim's, and Remus's were hazel.
Finally, Sirius shut-up on the fourth morning and Kim collapsed onto bed, asleep before she even hit the pillow.
After only a few minutes, however, James decided he was hungry and began crying. With a heavy heart, Harry had to wake Kim from her few moments rest, so she could feed him.
Finally, the three of them were asleep and Kim and Harry went to bed for a few hours before a crying told them that James and Remus had awakened, which was the cue for Sirius to begin bawling at the top of his lungs again.
They'd finally all gotten back to sleep, earning a rest for the two new parents when the doorbell rang an hour later. Then Sirius began to cry again. Kim quickly grabbed him from his crib so he wouldn't disturb the other two and went downstairs, rocking him back and forth to open the door, when Sirius and Remus came tumbling in.
"How are they?" Sirius asked as little Sirius began to quiet and went back to sleep.
"Tiresome," she answered, truthfully, brushing a bit of hair from her face. "Harry's sleeping right now on the sofa."
They came inside and Remus asked, "Can I hold one?"
"Sure, this one's Sirius," she said with a smile and handed the baby to him, "he's only just stopped screaming."
Sirius ignored the hint in her voice of a tired joke and asked if he could hold one, also.
"Sure," she replied, "I'll go get Remus: he's quiet," she replied and dragged herself into the other room and retrieved the other two babies, handing Remus to Sirius, who woke up and began to smile.
She sat on the edge of the sofa, which Harry had been sleeping on, with little James. He woke up and looked around, startled.
"No crying?" he inquired, glancing at the three babies.
"No crying," Kim confirmed.
Harry yawned and stretched, before he took James from Kim and let her rest for a moment.
"They're tiring you out, then?"
"Yeah," the new parents replied in exhaustion.
"We never expected three," Kim said, stifling a yawn and taking little Sirius from Remus when he began to cry again. He was apparently hungry, so she went into the next room to feed him.
"Can I hold James?" Remus inquired and Harry handed the little boy to him. "He looks just like his father," Remus informed him and Harry smiled a bit. James smiled, too, and little Remus just seemed happy that there were so many people around.

The triplets got older and eventually, it became their first birthday. There was a big cake, since everyone was invited, and the boys were asked to blow out their candles. Instead, little Sirius got onto the table and began eating it as it was. James seemed to like the idea, so he joined him. Then, while Kim was trying to get them away, little Remus snuck over and ate some as well. It was a very memorable time.
The boys all had rather messy hair now. It all flopped around everywhere and into three sets of eyes in the traditional Potter look.
Ron and Hermione had several more children, who were named Ivan, Nicholas, Brian, Eddie, Janice, and Nanette. Definitely Weasleys. Fred and Angelina, who already had little Molly, had four more children named Corey, Evan, Jared, and Helen. Lance and Luna had one baby, who was a little girl that they named Selina. George and Nassandra, although they already had Nassandra's original six kids and little Sunday to boot, had three more children, who were given the names Mars, Kitten, and Tomahawk. Mrs. Weasley did not approve.
The kids grew up and went to school. The triplets, who each seemed to mimic the original Marauders that they were named after and gave Snape hell in the classroom since the three of them were in Gryffindor, became the new troublemakers at Hogwarts. Their godparents were Ethan, Eric, and Ron. Ginny got a job as a Muggle Studies teacher at Hogwarts (Mr. Weasley expressed his desire to have her teach him), Ron got a job as a fungus trader and Hermione worked in the Accidental Magical Reversal Squad for the Ministry. Harry became a very successful Auror, and Kim became one of the most famous Healers in history when she discovered a cure for werewolf bites. The first person who ever used the potion was Remus Lupin, who was cured immediately and decided that Kim was his savior. The second was Natalie. Vampira was cured as well, but poor Wolfsbane had to be a vampire for the rest of his life like his father, since nobody found a cure. After becoming half as famous as Harry, she managed to cure over 300 witches and wizards from all around the world of their monthly werewolf transformations, as well as stop several hundred more from ever having to go through it in the first place.
Although Kim never got rid of the Dark Mark on her arm, she lived the rest of her life as a happy person. She eventually retired from her job in time to professionally publish her diary that held all of her secrets, fears, emotions, and experiences inside, as well as a few additions that include a few of Harry's thoughts. And you've just finished it.
THE END
