April 23rd, 2061

"Cedric, Cedric darling, wake up," Bridgette said, softly shaking an 84 year old Cedric, who was still sleeping at 10, which was uncommon for him.

He slowly opened his eyes and smiled up at her. "Good morning, dear," he said softly.

"You slept in late," she said, sitting down on the bed next to him and running her fingers through his grey hair as he reached for his glasses.

"Sorry," he said, groaning a little as he sat up. "Old age, what can I say?"

"You know you're still agile as a fox you sly bastard," Bridgette said, laughter dancing around in her green eyes as she helped him up.

"I do believe today is our 65th anniversary," Cedric said.

"Why yes it is," Bridgette said as they walked out to the kitchen. They had long ago moved to the downstairs bedroom; Greg, Scarlet, and their 3 youngest children occupying the 4 bedrooms upstairs.

"Are the kids visiting today?" Bridgette asked, sitting down at the table.

"Yes, Benny and Suzanne are flying out from LA for the week so they'll be staying with us and the rest are coming in the late afternoon...it's always hard to keep track," Cedric said, pouring them both coffee. Benny had taken the opportunity and moved out to Los Angeles with the rest of his family, visiting every year for the holidays.

"Yes, it is," Bridgette agreed, sipping her coffee slowly. Benny was now 65, and well past being retired, him and Suzanne living in a beach house off the coast.

Lydia was now 63. She got remarried to a genuine man 3 years after divorcing from Tony, and they had 2 more children together, Patricia and Kelly.

Victoria finally settled down around the time when she turned 30, now being 59. She had retired from Quidditch and her and her husband, Will, had one child, Nathan.

Freddie, who was 53, and Pete adopted little Gabriella, who wasn't so little anymore, and 6 years after her they adopted one more child, Kevin.

Mary Katherine, who was 49, was still an auror and was married to her boyfriend from so long ago, Lucas, but they never decided to have children.

And finally there was Greg, who was 45, who had married Scarlet straight out of Hogwarts. They had 5 children, 3 of them still in school and the other two just recently graduated.

"I can't believe how fast they've all grown," Bridgette sighed as Cedric sat down beside her. "It seems like only yesterday Benny was born."

"I only wish I could be 19 again. Boy do I wish I could be that young..." Cedric said, sighing as he finished his cup of coffee.

"You and me both," she laughed, setting her cup down and sighing. "Though I really wouldn't want to relive all the pregnancies...but it was definitely worth it because we have such an amazing family."

Cedric nodded, a smile on his face as Benny suddenly walked in, "Surprise! And look, everyone else showed up at the same time as us for once!" he exclaimed, walking into the kitchen with everyone trailing behind him.

"Hello, everyone!" Cedric and Bridgette exclaimed, standing up.

"Oh no, you guys just sit down," Lydia said hurriedly. Out of all the kids, she worried the most about her parents' health.

"Nope, you know me dear, I've never been able to sit in one spot for long," Cedric said, getting up and hugging them all as Bridgette followed suit.

Everyone started their own conversations and Bridgette smiled over at Cedric, leaning to whisper in his ear, "We should tell them, dear."

He nodded and grasped her hand in his, gently fingering her wedding ring, which they had added to over the past years.

Every 5 years Cedric had another stone added onto it; right now there was the large center stone and all around the band there were stones, as well as a small cluster of them around the center stone. In addition to her wedding ring Cedric had given her a ring with every one of the children's birthstone on it, and her own and his own for their 50th anniversary.

"Kids," he said, silencing them all. "We have something to tell all of you."

"What is it daddy?" Mary Katherine asked, pulling out a chair next to him as he opened his mouth to speak.

"Well, your mother and I won't be around for much longer," he began, smiling sadly. "And we would like to leave all of you this house...that's right, every single one of you. You can live in it or use it as a summer home just please, never sell it."

"Well, you all grew up in this house and this has been our home for 64 years, we couldn't bear to part with it, even after we're gone," Bridgette said, smiling.

"Well, you all grew up in this house and this has been our home for 65 years, we couldn't bear to part with it, even after we're gone," Bridgette said, smiling.

"Thank you," Freddie said softly, hugging Bridgette tightly before hugging Cedric, everyone else shortly following suit.

"Please, there's no need to thank us," Cedric said once they were all done hugging.

"Is that why you wanted everyone here today?" Victoria asked.

"What, we're not allowed to have everyone over without a reason?" Bridgette asked, laughing.

"Mum, please," Lydia said, laughing, "we all know how much time you, and dad like to have to yourselves."

Benny clapped his hands to his ears and everyone laughed.

"Awww, poor Benny," Bridgette said, laughing and kissing his cheek.

"Cedric, can I ask you something?" Bridgette asked as they climbed into bed. "Anything, darling," he said, reaching out to stroke her hair.

"Cedric...do you think that our love, it can...take us away together? Let's admit it...we're not getting any younger and..." Bridgette began, her eyes beginning to tear up.

"I think it can do anything we want it to," he whispered as tears fell from her eyes.

"I don't want to be here without you, or for you to be here without me," Bridgette whispered, "I love you so much."

"I love you more," he said, smirking.

She grinned and kissed him softly. "Never," she whispered.

Cedric sighed and slowly moved over closer to her before wrapping his arms around her frail body, holding her gently, "Goodnight then," he said, kissing her cheek.

"Goodnight," she said softly, a small smile gracing her lips as she closed her eyes.

"I'll be seeing you," he whispered as he closed his eyes as well, knowing he would be with Bridgette for all eternity now.

Morning came and Greg knocked softly on the door, opening it to see his parents still sleeping, which was odd since it was one in the afternoon. "Mum?" he called softly, walking over to the bed. "Dad?"

He reached out and lightly touched Bridgette's arm, his hand retracting immediately as he felt the icy coolness of it.

"Oh my God," he mumbled, running from the room. "Benny! Scarlet!" he called, running into each of their rooms.

"Greg? What is it baby?" Scarlet asked, walking out into the hall and everyone else running downstairs shortly after.

"Mum...and dad..." he said, starting to cry.

"What...did they fall? What is it Greg?" Benny asked urgently. When Greg couldn't respond the color drained from Benny's face and he rushed past him and into his parents' room.

He came back ten minutes later, tears streaking his cheeks. "They're...gone," he whispered.

"Oh my god," Lydia said, turning around and embracing all of her siblings.

"They looked so...peaceful," Benny continued, his eyes wide as he continued to cry.

"Come here, Benny," Lydia said, extending her arm for him. He walked over and began to sob, hugging his brothers and sisters tightly.

"At least they probably died peaceful, no pain or anything," Victoria said softly, tears streaming down her face.

"And they went together, something that they both wanted," Freddie said, wiping his eyes. "We should call Aunt Lexi...she'd want to know." Benny nodded and left the group and everyone else stayed in a huddle, continuing to mourn the loss of two of the most important people in their lives.
