Effects of Firewhiskey: Epilogue

Aftershock

Eleven years had passed.

Agatha was holding Draco's hand. "Daddy, is Hogwarts scary? Are there a lot of monsters and scary things?"

Draco shook his head. "Not really, darling. There are ghosts. Nice ghosts and some monsters like that large dog in the third floor so don't go there."

Michael Angelo was talking to his mother. "I'm gonna be in Slytherin, right? Just like Daddy. I'm gonna be a seeker too, just like Daddy."

James interrupted them. "I'm gonna be the best seeker ever, just like my Daddy."

Harry laughed. "Don't boast like that, James. Uncle Draco's gonna eat you alive."

"Mommy," Lilibeth asked. "Am I gonna be a great witch, just like Aunt Hermione?"

"Yes you are darling." Ginny answered. "Better yet, you'll be just like your father."

Mona Lisa was poking Martin Ronald. "Mommy! Mona Lisa's killing me again!"

"Am not!" Mona Lisa squealed.

They were all in their way to Platform 9¾. Bill and Fleur were there with Althea, Rina, Fred's daughter, and Janina, George's daughter.

When Althea saw Michael Angelo, she squealed. "Michael Angelo!" She hugged Michael Angelo tightly. The boy was trying to get out of her grasp.

"Reminds me of Pansy." Draco whispered to Hermione. Hermione merely chuckled.

Harry waved at Bill and Fleur. "Hello." He saw Rina and Janina. "Babysitting for Fred and George huh?"

Fleur nodded. "The boys are very busy as of the moment with their shop. We took them here to see you guys off."

Bill asked, "Harry, you're the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher right?"

"Dumbledore needed help so I agreed right away." Harry answered. "Ron said he'll be here any minute." Ron was an all-time Quidditch player and he had a game in Romania.

Hermione gathered the eleven year olds. "Children, please get ready to go. You follow Harry okay?"

"Okay." They all said.

All bid their good-byes. Agatha hugged her mom and dad. Michael Angelo still tried to get Althea off of him. James and Lilibeth were hugged by their mother.

Luna was chasing Mona Lisa and Martin Ronald. Ron caught his children. "Promise not to fight in school. We don't want to send a Howler now, would we?"

"Ron!" Luna said, panting. She kissed her husband. "Glad you could make it."

"I got to see my children off to Hogwarts right?" Ron answered.

Hermione announced. "Let's get ready to go now." They let the kids go one by one to the Platform. They went in last.

Draco and Hermione held hands as they lead Agatha and Michael Angelo to the train. "Be good now. Don't forget to Owl us if you need anything." Hermione reminded her children.

"Yes, Mum." Michael Angelo said. He finally got Althea to let go.

Draco added, "I won't disown you even if you don't get to Slytherin. But at least, try to get one of you in Slytherin."

Hermione chuckled. "All your crazy father is trying to say is that he loves you no matter what." She hugged her kids for the last time.

Ginny fixed Harry's coat. "Now, dear, look after James and Lilibeth for me. I won't be there. If you need anything, I'd be at the Burrow, helping Mum. Just send Hedwig over okay?"

Harry hugged and gave Ginny a kiss. "If you want me home, I'd go at once. I promise you that."

Ginny nodded. "I will." She hugged her kids again. "Be happy okay. Study hard."

"We will, Mum." James said. He took Lilibeth's hand and boarded the train. For one last time, Harry hugged Ginny and boarded the train as well.

Luna and Ron were talking to their own children. "Now, Mona Lisa, BE NICE." Ron started. "I'm warning you. I don't know how you got my brothers' genes but really. I love you and don't get into trouble."

Mona Lisa nodded. "I will, Dad."

"How do you make Mona Lisa fear you? She doesn't care if I get angry or what." Luna asked. "Martin, darling, do look after your sister. Be good, aim high, and be a Ravenclaw!"

Martin shrugged and hugged his mom. "I'll miss you, Mum."

Luna kissed her son's cheek. "I'll miss you too, darling."

The train was about to leave. The children and Harry waved goodbye to the people they left behind the station.

"Whew. Now, time for peace." Draco sighed. "I can't believe it."

Hermione nodded. "Yeah. It was crazy, all those years."

Ginny asked, "How about a cup of tea in my place?"

"Splendid, Ginny." Luna exclaimed.

"Sorry, sis but Fleur and I have something to do." Bill said. "Next time, sis."

Ginny waved bye as her brother and Fleur apparated out of the station. Luna looked at Ron, "Do you still have work?"

Ron shook his head. "The game's over. We won, darling." He looked at Ginny. "How about we grab a spot of tea?"

The five people apparated to Ginny and Harry's house. It was James and Lily's house before they got killed by Voldemort.

Flashback

"Harry," Ginny asked. "Are you sure Hagrid gave us the right address?" She was aleeady tired from walking around the forest.

"I'm sure. When we get there, we'll magically clear the path." Harry assured her. James and Lilibeth were with Mrs. Weasley at that time.

Finally, they saw a large white house, as large as Malfoy Manor. "That's it." Harry said. "Welcome to my parents' house."

Ginny looked at the house through the window. "Hmm. Dusty."

"Now, let me do the magic." Harry took out his wand and uttered a few spells. The house became new and there was a path from the house to the outside world. "Now, what do you think?"

"Wonderful!" Ginny hugged Harry.

End Flashback

They apparated to the parlor and Ginny made tea as her guests settled in. Draco asked Ron, "So you guys won right?"

Ron nodded. "Tough game. But we ended it within an hour. If Harry was there, it would have been done in thirty minutes."

Ginny walked into the parlor with a tray of cookies and tea. "Here it is."

Ginny sat beside her brother and poured tea. She sighed. "It's too quiet. Usually the kids cause chaos when they are together."

Luna nodded. "Like the time when James tied Mona Lisa to a tree outside. That was the funniest experience I can remember."

"That's the time when James got pissed off Mona Lisa, right?" Hermione asked.

Luna nodded. "Yeah. Or remember the time when Althea proposed to Michael Angelo? That's funny too."

"My son's not marrying Althea. He swore he doesn't like her." Draco told them.

"Fate will decide for that." Ginny answered. "I wonder if James and Agatha are gonna end up. They look so cute together."

Ron laughed. "So that means if Draco here was a girl, he would look good with Harry, right?" Everybody choked on their tea and laughed.

"Ron…" Draco said.

"We never agreed that they'll get married to each other though. We just let fate decide about that, remember?" Hermione asked. "But if it's fate, then I'll let them get married to each other."

All of them sighed.

"I really can't believe it. Eleven years since that day." Hermione said.

Draco nodded. "Yeah. I guess all effect has an aftershock."

"This is the craziest but wonderful aftershock of the Firewhiskey." Luna said. "I mean the kids get rowdy and fight a few times when they get together. We finally got ourselves our own houses close to each other."

Draco agreed. "I can't believe Potter Manor is near Malfoy Manor."

"Harry doesn't call it Potter Manor, though." Ginny answered. "He calls it The Mansion, sounds a lot better than Potter Manor."

"I agree." Luna answered. "Lovegood Villa is only a few blocks away, mind you. No wonder the kids are so tight."

"Agatha and Lilibeth are best friends right? I just hope they don't end up like Lavender and Parvati – Gossip Sisters." Hermione remarked. Everybody laughed.

"Life can't get any better now. With the kids gone to school, we could finally rest in peace and quiet." Draco said. "Now, I could stop being a full-time dad and go to work."

"You don't need to work, mate." Ron remarked. "You're too rich already."

"Dray wanted to learn how to work since he lived in the life of luxury all his life. He says he'll work in the ministry." Hermione answered. "Just to be sure that his line would stay rich forever and ever."

"Are you also going back to work in the Ministry?" Luna asked.

Hermione nodded. "If they'll still take me, yes, I'll go back but if not, I'll work in Flourish and Blotts."

Ginny asked, "Luna, you're still working right?"

She nodded. "I'm a full-time reporter. Since the kids are all in Hogwarts, I can work full-time. How about you Gin?"

"Hmm… I'll stay and help Mum back home. I'm gonna leave this place till Christmas." Ginny answered. "Mum needs all the help she needs in the garden and with Dad."

Luna looked at her watch. "Oh, sorry. I got to go now. I have to interview some people in Azkaban."

Draco said, "Say hi to Pansy. I heard she's gone mad."

Luna nodded. She waved good-bye and apparated.

Hermione and Draco stood up. "We got to go too. We still have to instruct the house elves what to do when we're gone to work." Both of them used Floo powder to go back.

Ron asked, "Gin, let's go to Mum's now."

"Okay." Ginny answered. "Let me just lock all the doors and we'll be off." She used her wand to lock all doors and both of them apparated to the Burrow.

All the light from the house faded and the whole place grew dark.
