Epilogue

six years later

Six years later, the auror corps was working on rounding up the last remaining escapees from Azkaban. They were some former death eaters and some children of former death eaters, who were seeking revenge and wanted to annihilate the friends and family of the one who directly killed their master. Lord Voldemort.

Following this threat, Ron had approached Hermione to warn her about this gang of death eaters, who were after him and the Potter family.

After this warning, the chestnut decided to prepare her children and with the help of Ron and other aurors, she trained the twins for days, since she had to prepare them for any attack, after all they were the children of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger and it was obvious that they were not going to sit idly by while the others went out to fight. So, hiding them to protect them this time was not an option for Hermione, although she had to admit that she was very afraid that something would happen to them.

James and Lilly were currently twenty-two years old; they had finished their studies at Hogwarts and now they were both in practice for their careers. James had decided to join the ministry's auror corps, honoring what his father would have wanted to do, while Lilly had followed her mother's side more and was studying law at a wizarding university, later entering the law department of the ministry.

Being Harry Potter and Hermione Granger the parents of James and Lilly, the twins were quite powerful wizards. Both almost equaled the power of their father's magic and as for Lilly, it was also a reference of intelligence, as she was the most powerful and intelligent witch of her generation.

Days after Ron's warning, the criminals decided to ambush the city and approach the Potters' house, who as soon as they realized that they would attack their house, prepared to face them.

Again, in the whole area flashes of spells were seen, the screams of the aurors and the death eaters were heard facing each other. You could see the blood running down the street, the clothes of the people who were fighting were dirty with dirt, blood and sweat, as were their faces. In the midst of all this, Ron and Hermione were challenging a death eater each. Hermione's hands and body now trembled due to fatigue and the force she exerted at that moment with her confrontation, however, this did not prevent her from glancing out of the corner of her eye at one of the hitmen walking towards James, while he was on his way backs into a battle with another death eater.

"Stupefy!" Hermione shouted quickly at the man in front of her, taking advantage of the fact that he was recovering from her last attack and desperate, she turned around and started running towards her son.

When she went to James, she had a dejá vu, the scene repeated itself in slow motion, while she felt that her lungs and her legs were giving everything they had, her heart was beating so hard and out of control that she felt it come out of her chest. No, she couldn't let it happen again this time, they wouldn't take her son's life.

She was getting closer when she saw the man raise his wand and point it at James. Her expression was one of horror.

"Avada Kedavra" Hermione heard the death eater say and saw the green beam shoot out of the wand.

"No!" The brunette yelled in a heartbreaking tone and without thinking twice, she threw herself between the green beam and her son. She instantly saw how the lightning was seconds away from hitting her chest.

For an instant everything moved in slow motion, until she felt the lightning hit her chest and in an instant everything went dark.

James had heard his mother's terrifying scream right after he'd thrown a stunner at his opponent. He turned around to see his mom fall lifeless to the ground.

The brunette fell to his knees next to his mother, taking her body and crying over her.

Ronald had finished with the death eater he had and had turned around a little late, to listen and witness the scene. She saw his best friend run, scream and throw herself between the green beam and James's back. With all the pain in his heart and soul, he knew there was nothing he could do. He had lost his two best friends and now his responsibility was to support and continue to stand by his nephews and godchildren.

"Incarcerous!" Ron yelled furiously, trapping the death eater responsible for the killing curse between ropes and giving the order for him to be taken away, as he felt tears run down his cheeks and his heart clench.

He saw Lilly run towards her brother and her mother and began to clumsily move his feet to get to them as well. When he arrived, he simply fell to his knees and the first thing he did was hug his nephews and cry with them for the loss of his best friend.

Hermione appeared on her knees crying at King's Cross Station, finding herself scared as the last thing she saw was her son James, about to die.

The jet walked to where she was, crouched down so he could hug her. She returned the hug crying on his shoulder, telling him what had happened and being scared believing that James was dead.

Harry now looked thirty-nine years old. He was wearing a rather baggy red sweater, blue jeans and as for his physique, there were already a few grays in his black hair that was now inexplicably parted on the side and his beard looked like it had been shaved for a few days. He still looked as handsome as ever and those beautiful green eyes were shining brighter than ever at that moment.

"Mione, love," the green-eyed man said affectionately, taking her hand and getting her to get up and at the same time meet her gaze, "you saved him. You saved James, our son is alive, thanks to you."

"Does that mean that I…?" She asked somewhat confused. "Shall I stay here with you?" He finished the question, without taking her eyes off Harry.

The jet took Hermione's face in his hands and slowly nodding his head, confirmed that she was staying with him now. He leaned in and kissed her lips gently, feeling her respond and deepen the kiss as she wrapped her arms around him and the kiss lingered.

As for downstairs, when they started to lift and carry Hermione's body away, James and Lilly didn't want to let go of it, so Ron had to help them and restrain his nephews. When the body was finally taken away, James fell unconscious on the ground, causing Ron and his sister to take him to St. Mungo's.

Lilly was with Ron in the wizarding hospital room, while James was still asleep after all the potions he had been given to calm and relax his body. The brown-haired boy had the resurrection stone in his hand, after having removed it from his mother's ring, so that he and his sister could continue having encounters, now with both parents.

Meanwhile at King's Cross Station, Harry and Hermione were still kissing. They had been going non-stop for a couple of minutes, until Hermione reluctantly pulled away and cried for James again.

"Mione, close your eyes," Harry asked in that tone of voice he only had for her.

The brunette closed her eyes and felt Harry's breath on her face, which relaxed her completely and a few seconds later, she heard his voice again.

"Open your eyes, love, and turn around," the green-eyed man said softly.

Hermione turned around and they both saw their son enter and head towards them. Without thinking twice, the brunette ran towards James and he fell on her in a suffocating hug. Harry walked over and wrapped his arms around them both.

"Honey, you're here with the stone, right?" Hermione asked with terror in her eyes.

"Yes mom, I'm alive thanks to you. I think I passed out or something, but..." James thanked his mother, who didn't let him finish and hugged him again and kissed his head.

"James, you're alive. Your mother wasn't going to let anything happen to you," Harry said, seeing the sadness and concern on his son's face.

"You'll finally be with dad, mom. You'll be happy, what you've always wanted." James continued with a slight smile through tears.

"Honey, you and Lilly are my greatest happiness there on earth and wherever. You are the best gift that Harry gave me, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, apart from your father. Never think otherwise." Hermione replied, taking her son's face in her hands.

"We love you son," Harry clarified, drawing his son to hug him and kiss his head.

"James, you have to be strong and take care of your sister, okay?" Hermione said, kissing his forehead. "I know that uncle Ron, aunt Luna and the rest of the Weasley's will be with you and won't leave you alone, but I want you to take care of yourselves and be responsible, I know that I have prepared you well and love.

"I love you both," James said crying and hugging his parents, who wrapped him with all their love.

"Now you have to go back honey. Promise you'll be alright, okay?" said Hermione, by way of farewell, receiving a nod from James.

The young brown man backed away slowly and disappeared, leaving his parents together.

James slowly woke up in St. Mungo's hospital ward and when he turned to his right side, he saw his sister reach out and take his hand. Lilly was crying too; her face was swollen from tears and her eyes were really red from crying.

"Mom's fine, Lilly. She's finally with dad and they're happy," James said between tears, knowing that, although they had to go through a good time of grieving for their mother, both would be calmer with the knowledge that their parents were finally together.

The redhead nodded, squeezing her brother's hand a little more.

"We can James, mom prepared us and we have to make them both feel proud of us. I know it hurts and we have a long and hard road ahead of us, but we will make it through together. Lilly clarified with tears running down her cheeks.

…

After making sure that their children would be okay, they decided to get busy and come to terms with the fact that they could finally be happy and be together for eternity. They hugged each other without even being able to believe it and when they parted, they brought their foreheads together and smiled. They put their lips together, kissed each other again, making the kiss more and more passionate and beginning to drop their clothes to the ground, while they slowly knelt down and lay down on the floor.

Harry settled on top of her without breaking the kiss. Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, pulling him closer to her. The green-eyed man broke the kiss leaving the brunette breathless and lowered his mouth to her breasts, making her moan loudly.

And so slowly they enjoyed their bodies, their intimacy and merged back into one, loving each other forever.

The rest I leave to your imagination ;)
