Legal Disclaimer: Don't own 'em, so there will be no suing.

Hello once again! Yes, I am back! Did you miss me? I have been working on construction projects around the house, so I have had no time to update or to read my e-mails for several days. Sigh Oh, well. So anyway, here is the next part of the epilogue for this story, written with help from my part-time editor. Enjoy!

Epilogue, Part Three

"Mum! Dad!" he exclaimed and tried to throw his arms around them both. He fell face-first into the floor.

"Nice to see you too," Lily said, trying not to laugh at her son. James didn't bother trying. Harry stood up and dusted himself off.

"How did you get here?" he asked.

"Never mind that," dismissed Lily. "Are you sure that this is what you want?" Harry groaned.

"Of course it's what he wants," Draco insisted, holding onto his lover protectively. Harry nodded just to let his mum know that what Draco said was correct.

"Lighten up Lily," James told her. "Do you really think Harry could be forced to do anything he didn't want to?"

"No, I guess you're right. Congratulations, you two. It feels so good to be free for a day. I absolutely hate being stuck There while my son is down here, making preparations for his wedding," said Lily in an agitated voice. Harry laughed.

"Now really, Lily. Harry seems to be doing just fine on his own. I know that he gets lonely without the three of us in his life, but it's not like we'll be separated forever. Oops, damn! I wasn't supposed to say that. Oh well," said Sirius, shrugging his shoulders. Harry looked at Sirius questioningly, but after a few minutes of silence, Harry gave up.

"So, Draco, how does it feel to become a part of our really weird family?" asked James. Draco smiled.

"It feels good. I suppose it'll take some getting used to, what with so many people in one house, but I don't think it'll be too hard." James raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

"So, Harry, why don't we go see how everything's coming along? I think it's almost time for the wedding to start," added Hermione.

"Am I stuck up here again?" asked Draco. Harry laughed.

"No, love, you get to come too. I think it's time for us all to get out of the castle for some fresh air." As an afterthought, he added, "No offense meant."

"None taken," replied Sirius, knowing who Harry was addressing. The group stepped out of the portrait hole and walked or, in Lily, James, and Sirius' case, floated down the endless empty halls to the Entrance Hall and out the doors toward the wedding area. As the group approached, they could see Remus, Tonks, and Moody trying to lift one of the speakers up onto its platform. Judging from the looks of things, they weren't having a good time.

"Tonks, watch out for the...too late," muttered Remus, as Tonks fell into the open box behind her. Harry, Draco, Narcissa, Hermione, Ginny, Sirius, James, and Lily all started laughing. The twins were laughing too, using each other for support. Ron was on the ground and obviously having troubles breathing on account of laughing too much, because his face was the same shade as his hair. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley weren't helping either, because they were both standing aside, wands raised, but were trying hard not to laugh, so they couldn't do anything to help.

"Now really Tonks, haven't you learned yet how to watch where you're going?" commented Lily through fits of laughter. Tonks raised her head out of the box to see who was talking. When she saw who it was, she fell back into the box, which caused everybody to laugh even harder.

"Apparently she hasn't learned yet. A shame, really, because she's one of the best," commented James, although not too many could understand what he was saying because he was laughing so hard. McGonagall and Dumbledore, who'd come to investigate, helped Tonks out of the box.

"Hello, Lily, James, ah, and even Sirius. My, my, how ever did you all amnage to get away?" asked Dumbledore, sounding amused.

"Since Sirius and James are here, I would assume that the two of them were getting on everyone's nerves, so They decided to let them come to get a bit of a vacation," said McGonagall.

"Thank you so much, Minerva. I'll have you know that James had nothing to do with this. This was all Sirius' doing," replied Lily dryly.

"How have you been, James?" asked Dumbledore.

"Well, I've been better, obviously, but I don't have much to complain about."

"Sirius, so good to see you again. I trust you're here for a reason. Other than the fact that Harry's getting married," added Dumbledore. Sirius pretended to pout.

"How come you always manage to spoil my fun? Can't I go wherever I want to?" asked Sirius.

"You could, but not without a reason."

"We'll discuss this later, Albus. Right now, we have to finish setting up for this wedding," said McGonagall. Dumbledore gave a slight bow and followed her to wherever they were going before.

"Harry, my angel, are you nervous?" whispered Draco. Harry smiled at the shake in his voice.

"No, my love. Well, okay, that's a lie, but I'll live. How 'bout you?"

"Well, I guess I'm nervous, but today is absolutely perfect. You and I are getting married, we'll be living with our family in your godfather's house. What could possibly make this day any more perfect than it already is?" Harry smiled and kissed Draco.

"I'm not sure, but right now, all I see is you. You're my life, and I love you so much. You already knew that, though, didn't you?"

"You bet I did. I just love to hear you say it, though. And just for the record, I love you too, angel." During this conversation everybody else had quit laughing and were now lifting the speaker onto the platform.(Well, everybody except for the three ghosts, of course, since I don't think they could use their wands even if they had them.)

"Okay, now that we've got that under control, let the festivities begin!" exclaimed Mrs. Weasley, sending off red and green sparks from her wand.

"Okay, Harry, you're coming with me. Draco, you're going with the ladies," said Remus. Draco looked at Harry and rolled his eyes. Harry laughed and gave his love an affectionate hug and a gentle kiss.

"That's for moral support, love. Don't forget: I love you," whispered Harry.

"We'll fly together forever, my angel," replied Draco in a whisper, so that only Harry could hear him.

"Forever," Harry agreed, smiling softly.

Aw! This chapter was a bit fluffy, but still cute. No, this is not the end of the epilogue, either. Yes, I know. When is it going to end, right? Well, if you think that then you don't know me very well. I promise to make the ending of this story really good and worth the wait, so just hang in there with me for a little while longer. Please be kind in your reviews, and if you do find anything wrong, feel free to tell me. Just don't flame me. Bye!
