Epilogue
At that very moment Pansy Marie Weasley was sitting in her bedroom thinking of the past 18 years and everything that had gone on, she had, had seven children same as Mrs. Weasley, who was very proud to have seven grandkids from one couple. She was sitting in her room thinking about how fast the time had gone her kids were growing up so much, but she was happy in her life she had the perfect husband, perfect kids, perfect aunts and uncles, perfect grandparents for her kids, and she still had all of her friends and their children as well. She also had the perfect job well so she thought, her job was to stay home and take care of the house and the children when they were home from school, she didn't have to work because George made enough for the whole family.
All of the boys got their father's bright orange hair, but they got Pansy's facial features. All seven of the children got a mixture of Pansy and George's eyes. The three oldest kids got Pansy's green eyes, but the younger four got their father's stormy blue eyes.
Her husband was actually on the way home from King's Cross with her children today was summer vacation's official first day. It would be a celebration of sorts because her eldest son Michael, who looked just like his father had just finished his seventh year at Hogwarts, and her second eldest son Chad would be in his seventh year when the summer was over. Chad was sort of a mix between his older uncles Charlie and Bill. Her son Shaun who is 15 his life dream was to become Head Boy his seventh year, George often joked he wouldn't want to be Head Boy, because he would end up like his uncle Percy. Shaun would laugh and say well I will be the fun head boy. Then there was Conner much wiser than his 13 years, we all laugh and say it was because he hung out with his Aunt Hermione too much. He too wanted to be Head Boy, just like his Aunt was Head girl. Some say that Conner could have passed for Percy, he always said he didn't look like him, because he joked he didn't want to be stuck up and ugly as he put it. Then there was Fred and George they had just completed their first year at Hogwarts and they were the youngest players on the Quidditch team since their Uncle Harry, you see there are beaters same position their father and his twin brother were. It was often rumored Snape retired when he heard the Weasley twins were coming back to Hogwarts. They have the knack of playing jokes just like the older Fred and George. You could tell that they both were the carbon copies of their father right now to the small mole right on the side of George's face. The pride and joy of Pansy's life was Daisy she was the last of the litter she is ten years old meaning she will be off to Hogwarts at the end of the summer and Pansy was terrified it was her baby girl the only girl she had, and she was one of three girls in the whole family. She unlike her brothers had her mother's black hair with her father's eyes, he was always saying she was going to stop the hearts of many boys. Her and George weren't ready for her to grow up yet, but also excited because she would be with her brothers at Hogwarts now.
Pansy looked out the window to see her daughter sitting outside waiting for her brothers and father to come home; she decided to go join her.
" Darling Daisy don't worry they will be home soon I know you have missed them."
" Yes momma I have missed them even though they all love to pick on me, well except for Chad he always protects me from the rest of them."
As they were talking they noticed that the car was pulling up, it looked like a small car but instead there was enough room for nine people to fit comfortably in.
" Mom I think they are home."
"Yes indeed they are honey come on let's go greet them."
They walked over to the car and out came Chad sweeping up Daisy in his arms and hugging her. Then out came the rest of the boys all running over to Pansy and hugging her, and hugging Daisy. Finally out came George walking over to his wife and kissing her sound on the lips.
" You know Pansy dear for being 35 you do not look a day over 17."
" Flattery will get you nowhere George."
" Well it did at one point, yes I do believe seven times if I am correct."
" Ha you are so smart, and I love you for it."
" I love you too my dear, come on let's go instead and get ready for the family they will be here in about an hour."
Pansy and Daisy were in the kitchen making some food, well Pansy was making it with her wand while Daisy watched, and the boys and their father were outside cleaning up the yard and setting up the tables for the family 43 people that would be there. Pansy's parents would be there, George's parents would be there as would three of his siblings, and so would their children as well. Hermione and Blaise, along with Harry and Luna; although they may have not been family by blood in every other way they were family.
"Honey do you think you can find my old Quidditch uniform we might play a couple of rounds."
"George Weasley you will not be playing quidditch on you're son's celebration the last time you played on a special day you almost killed yourself."
"It was an accident Pansy."
"It was you're daughter's 6th birthday she spent it crying because she thought her father was going to die. It is final George you aren't playing quidditch today in fact nobody is I have banished all the brooms away for the night, I just one family night with those bloody brooms, please baby."
"Ok fine just because I love you, but I hope you know tomorrow we are going out there to play."
"That is fine as long as it isn't tonight."
Then all the sudden they heard a loud commotion from outside of the house, and they went running out too see what it was. When they got outside they were greeted by Pansy's parents whose arms were full of gifts for the children.
"Mother I told you that the kids do not need to get gifts ever time you come to see them, they already know that you and dad love them."
"I know dear but I like to give them something and spoil 'em."
"Well fine just this last time, alright Mother?"
"Okay fine, fine whatever you say you are their mother after all. Now where is my little angel Daisy?"
"I'm down here granny you forgot I am really short."
"Oh Daisy wow sweetie you are really growing up fast before you know it you will be at Hogwarts with you're brothers."
"I won't be there with Michael he isn't going to be there who is going to protect me from mean people?"
"Honey I am sure Chad will protect you, I mean he has done a good job so far hasn't he?"
"Yes he has but there is a lot more kids at school than just Chad."
"Oh honey you won't have to worry you will have so many family members there with you at the same time."
Daisy just shrugged her shoulders and walked away trying to find something to do until her other cousins showed up. She didn't have to wait long her uncle Fred and Aunt Katie came soon with their five kids she ran over to them all and hugged them. Fred's family was interesting see Fred and Katie wanted all their kid's names to start with the same letter they chose the letter "j" they had five kids like that. The oldest was Jessica she was 15, she had her mother's soft blonde hair with her father's attitude, she was quite popular at Hogwarts and a lot of the guys wanted her attention, but she didn't want anyone guy's attention unless it was the attention of James one of her parent's friend's son. Then there was Josh he was 13 and a trouble maker, he was the one who helped the twins in their first year get into trouble. He was the spitting image of his Uncle Ron, right down to the strange expressions. There was also Jamie who is 12 years old he is closest to his cousin Conner the two of them could pass as twins if they wanted to, not so much with looks; but with the way they acted and talked it was like talking to the same person. Now Jackson was one of the youngest in the family and he would be entering his first year of Hogwarts along with Daisy she was happy because at least she would have some family the same age as her going into school, he was just as happy about this as she was. Then the baby of the family Jacob he is only eight years old, he was the youngest out of the whole family he knew that he would be going to school his last two years without anybody. Fred like his brother worked at the shop and Katie worked at Hogwarts in the library, since Madam Pince had retired.
The next bunch of people came into the house by floo, it was Ginny and Draco's family. First came the kids then came Ginny with a mad looking Draco behind her.
"Ginny why does you're husband look so pissed?"
"Why don't you ask Arthur he is starting to talk like the other kids in Slytherin you do not even want to know what he called Hermione and Blaise's kids earlier today."
"Oh no Ginny he didn't, well I sure hope Draco put him in his place about calling people that."
"Oh yeah he did Arthur isn't allowed to fly all summer until he has learned his lesson."
"Well good he needs to learn it."
Now that Ginny's family was there the adults got to talking. All the Malfoy kids were a mixture of Draco and Ginny. Take the eldest one for example Draco Jr. he is 15 and he had his father's bright blonde hair with Ginny's eyes and her temper, he was one kid you didn't want to mess with on a bad day. Arthur he was a special boy, in the family they called him the adopted one of the whole clan, they said this because he was always so mean and rude. Ron often joked he was a carbon copy of Draco his first four years at Hogwarts. He didn't look anything like Ginny, he had his father's eyes, facial features, hair, and attitude. Even his little sister was scared to go by him, she would act like he wasn't there, and he did the same to her. Oh boy and Marcus, he was the sweetest boy you could ever ask for, he didn't have many friends and he was the only one out of the entire family to be put in another house besides Slytherin and Gryffindor, he was put into Hufflepuff. Then last but not least was Molly she was the pride of Draco a true daddy's girl she could do whatever she wanted and get away with it. When you got her and Daisy together they could charm any of their brothers or cousins to do anything for them. She had blonde hair with green eyes, and she was precious with a little button nose. She unlike her brothers wanted to be in the same house with her Uncle George's kids, well she just wanted to be where ever Daisy was. Draco was working at the Ministry with Blaise doing odd and end things in the proper usage of Magic department. Just like Pansy, Ginny was a stay at home mom. Draco said he didn't want her to have to work when he had the money to take care of her.
The next family to come was Ron and Lavender they had beautiful tanned children, a perfect mix between black and white, all with bright shining blue eyes. Ron Jr. was the best friend of his cousin Chad, both of them being the same age. Ron Jr. had his mother's complexion with his father's expressions just like his cousin Josh did. He often stuck up for Jessica, Molly, and Daisy them being the only girls he like Chad thought it was their jobs. Nick was a riot, he was so smart he had actually finished his schooling at Hogwarts one year before Michael did. He was currently working at the wand shop to take over for the older gentleman that worked there. He may have been smart but all he wanted to do was make wands he too had his mother's complexion and had red and black hair it was a mix of the two. Their youngest son was named Remus after his favorite teacher at Hogwarts. When he came to school his first year, it was that year that Dumbledore let Prof. Lupin come back to school to teach his old position and Remus and Lupin got along great. He had darker skin than his two brothers and he was the only one from that family in Slytherin. Lavender worked at a beauty supply store that sold beauty care products to young girls and women. Ron was a Keeper for Cudley Cannons, the whole family was proud of him.
As soon as they all sat down at the table they all heard 2 pops and knew that Harry and Luna were here with their two kids. Who were named after Harry's two favorite people James his father and Sirius his godfather. James was 15 and the spitting image of the grandfather whom he never got to meet, he had dark black hair with glasses matching his father and grandfather's glasses. He was also seeker just like his dad, and the person he was named after. Their second son Sirius often acted like his father as well although he liked to act like his dad's godfather Sirius, he even wanted to become a dog like he was. He had Luna's blonde hair with her excitement for made-up animals the two of them often went on trips looking for these animals, they always came home empty handed though. He was just like Remus they got along just like the elder Sirius and Remus. Dumbledore always said that Sirius, James, Remus, and Blaise Jr. were like the marauders all over again well minus the turning on you're best friends type thing. Harry worked at the Ministry trying Aurors, the job paid very well. Luna took over the magazine her father owned.
All the adults were talking in the kitchen, while all the kids were split off into groups mostly by age. Most of the family was wondering where Hermione and Blaise were because they were supposed to be there about an hour ago. All the sudden Blaise Jr. and Albus who were both spitting images of their father came through the fire without their parents. Ginny walked over to the boys.
"Blaise where are you're parents?"
"I don't know if they are coming Aunt Ginny they have been fighting about something all day long and mum was crying when I left and dad was yelling so I just took Albus and came here. I mean he was getting ready to cry because mum and dad have been fighting for the last week."
"Well just go outside and see the family and don't worry about it."
"Okay we will be outside, come on Albus."
Albus followed his brother outside and went over to where his cousins were. The adults sat there trying to figure out what had happened to Hermione and Blaise they were so happy about two weeks ago. At that very minute Hermione came through the fire crying her eyes out.
"Oh my god Hermione what's wrong?" asked Ginny
"Blaise is having an affair, I just know he is, every single night he stays out saying he is at the office, well I called over there last night they said he left about 10 pm but he didn't get home until well past 2 am."
"What am I going to tell the boys Ginny I don't know what to do I thought I was making him happy."
"Hold on Hermione now I have been friends with Blaise since I was 3 I do not think he would be cheating on you I mean he loves you so much, he is always raving to me about you and the boys."
"If you are just telling me this to stop me from crying it isn't working Draco I mean I know he is cheating on me there is no other excuse."
"HERMIONE ZAMBINI HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU I AM NOT CHEATING ON YOU?" said Blaise coming through the fire
" DON'T YOU DARE YELL AT ME YOU BASTARD I KNOW YOU ARE CHEATING ON ME I MEAN I CALLED YOU'RE OFFICE LAST NIGHT THEY SAID YOU LEFT BY 10 PM BUT YOU DIDN'T GET IN UNTIL PAST 2AM WHERE WERE YOU?"
"Hermione dear I went to the bar with some friends from work okay I am not cheating on you I love you baby you know that.
"Then what about all the other nights Blaise for the past week you have been staying late at the offices what is going on with you?"
"I don't know okay I feel like I don't even know my own kids anymore they always want to go over to their uncles houses and play with their cousins or go see their uncles, they never want to see me I mean the other day I came home and Albus looked at me like he didn't even know me."
"Blaise that is just because ever since you got that job at the ministry you are never home and now it has gotten worse in the past week, I mean you leave before they get up in the morning and you come home when they are already in bed. I know you love this job but either you are going to have to cut back on the hours or get a different job because you're kids don't even know you anymore."
"I know baby and I am sorry right after you left I went to work and told them I needed a month off of work and they said I could take it. I have a whole month to be with you and the kids."
"That is all we wanted dad." Said Albus from behind him.
The whole Zambini family did a group hug and Hermione stopped crying and mouthed to Blaise that she loved him, he looked back at her and mouthed it at her as well. The two kids went back outside and Blaise and Hermione joined the other adults in the conversation.
All the adults looked outside at the children thinking of the last 18 years all eight grandparents were proud of their children and grandkids. All 12 parents were so proud of their children the kids would never have to go without having at least one friend after all there was 23 of them. Not one single person could say anything bad about their family.
