AN: This chapter is a bit different. Its a few glimpses of the future, through the eyes of different central characters of the story.

Chapter 25 Happy Moments

Lucius

The library on the main floor of Prince Manor may not have been his first choice for the wedding venue but Lucius agreed. Even with the paintings of Severus, Eileen and Tiberius moved into the room to witness. Harry had agreed that his father's painting should not hang above the fireplace though when they took their vows. Severus could glare away at a safe distance. Lucius wished there were paintings for Lily and Sirius for Harry but unfortunately none had been made before they died. The guests sat in rows of simple chairs, with clumps of wild flowers and lilies at the end of each. The mantle of the fireplace behind him and many of the shelves were done the same as well. Lucius stood with his son and Blaise who Draco planned to propose to that summer, Draco as his best man. Fred and Hermione were standing on the other side of the minister. Fred would do the ring part for Harry as it was custom for the same gender.

He couldn't take his eyes from Harry as he came down the aisle towards him. Even Remus was smiling as he escorted him. Teddy was leading the way as he was serving as ring bearer. Some muggle tradition Lucius had never heard of but had been suggested as a way to include Teddy in the wedding. Teddy had not wanted to simply sit with Grandma and Harry had agreed with him.

The minister began the ceremony "We are gathered to unite these two men in marriage. Who gives them into bond?"

Draco smirked as he was giving away his father but he shared the honors with Remus. "We do."

The minister looked to Lucius. "Do you Lucius Abraxas take Harry as your husband, united in spirit and magic, till death parts you?"

"I do."

"Do you Harry James Potter-Snape take Lucius as your husband, united in spirit and magic, till death parts you?"

"I do."

"The rings." The minister said to Teddy.

Teddy had been told what to do and he bounded over to Draco and Fred to hand them rings. "Here."

Draco handed a ring to him. Lucius slid it on Harry. "My heart is your heart, my body is your body, until death parts us. This I pledge."

Harry took his ring from Fred. "My heart is your heart, my body is your body, until death parts us. This I pledge."

The minister looked at the two witnesses. "Do you pledge to be guardians and keepers of their pledge?"

Fred and Draco said together. "We do."

The minister smiled. "Then by the powers that be I pronounce you husbands. You may share a kiss."

Harry pulled Lucius in for a long passionate kiss. There was a tingling of their rings which signified their bond was sealed. Fred and Draco though accompanied them to sign the license to make it also legal. The guests went out into the garden for cocktails while the family took some photos before joining them. Harry had to laugh when he saw among the appetizers there were pigs in a blanket and mini sliders. Lucius knew Harry would insist on some of his taste even in a wedding and decided cocktail hour was the safe place. Harry had not expected such food at his wedding even if not to Lucius but was happy. Lucius knew he would love his other surprises.

The dinner was in the ballroom which had huge floor to ceiling windows and doors across two walls divided by pillars. The tables lined the walls leaving the middle open for dancing and entertainment. The tables were done in green and gold with silver dishes. But the center pieces were more of the red lilies. Harry laughed in happiness when he saw the pillars had been turned into trees, and not just trees, but apple trees, the branches creating canopies over the guests. It reminded them both of the farm date Harry planned.

Lucius led Harry to the head table and helped him sit. "Can I take it that you approve?"

Harry kissed him passionately. "The sliders were shocking enough. But I never thought you'd want to remember our farm date."

Lucius just smiled. "Plenty of good memories from it."

Harry agreed. "Perhaps then you will let me plan another trip one day."

Lucius smirked. "I recall that wasn't the last."

Harry laughed as he reminded Lucius. "I recall someone including s'mores in his proposal."

Lucius didn't deny it or tonight. Harry noticed other little touches in the food and even in the music when they took to the dance floor. Neither groom was much for dancing so while there was dancing it didn't last well into the evening. Harry was shocked when after they cut the beautiful cake Lucius told him that the rest of the party was out doors. The others all put on their cloaks and followed them out into the garden where they found bonfires started to light. Harry was in tears when he saw the dessert table laid out. It was a gourmet s'mores bar with all types of chocolate and marshmallows, to cook over the bonfires. There was great laughter as no one had expected to see this at a wedding especially not at a Malfoy one. But it had become a special tradition between the grooms.

The twins finished off the night for them with a show of amazing fireworks. Lucius showed Harry that he had their bags and they took off on their honeymoon from the estate while people were distracted.

Harry was amazed when they arrived. "Where are we?"

Lucius smiled as he led him through the lobby of a resort. "Tanzania."

Harry looked at him in disbelief. "I didn't think that was possible for our honeymoon."

Lucius assured him with a kiss. "At a wizzarding resort we have no concerns."

Lucius knew how much Harry loved animals and knew this was perfect for them. Wizzarding laws were different to muggles even here. They were booked into an amazing honeymoon suite. Lucius didn't tell Harry but there would even be a tent in their near future. They would be spending a few nights on a safari and it included a tent. It would be a high end luxury wizard tent but still. But for tonight and the first nights they were at the resort. And they had a massive bed with amazing views to enjoy their first round as husbands. Lucius drew Harry from bed later to go out and watch the sunrise and have something to eat for energy.

Harry was amazed when a giraffe came over and he got to feed him a banana from the patio. "This is incredible."

Lucius smiled as he watched his husband with the giraffe. "Perfect."

Draco

Draco had finished law school in June and had been working for his father that summer. He wouldn't be taking his place as a lawyer for the company though until the fall. He had chosen to have some freedom that summer to travel with Blaise and enjoy the time. He had come in second as always behind Hermione again in law school. He wasn't surprised when Hermione had offers from all of the top firms. Lucius joked that Draco should be lucky he was his son or he would have hired Hermione instead. Though Hermione had been tempted by a job in the ministry he knew she took a job with a major firm. She was pursuing family law.

Draco was not to be shown up by his father for long and he had made a stop in Spain in the end of August on his way his father had no idea what he was up to. He had turned to a source for help but definitely not an expected one.

Harry was surprised when Draco asked him to meet in Hogsmeade. "Should I be worried?"

Draco smirked as Harry came into the Hogshead. "No longer competition on the field."

Harry reminded him. "I am still not sure you are happy with me in the family."

Draco grunted but reminded him. "I was my father's witness."

Harry smiled a tad. "So why did you lure me out here? You could have come to our suites."

Draco knew he had a point. "As I assume my father will be lurking some where."

Harry snorted. "They are our suites. And yes it is the weekend."

"You have hurt my father's work ethic."

Harry shrugged. "He does tell me I work more then him."

Draco had heard him say that. "Between apprenticing and playing professional you likely do."

Harry was actually not even really an apprentice any more. He had actually taken over teaching fourth and fifth year charms. He was helping the students prepare for their OWL exams. Between them and coaching quidditch, he was at school full time now except when off for a game. The season hadn't started yet for the United so he hadn't been away when Draco asked to meet him. Lucius had been living at school with his husband and commuting. They spent time on weekends at the manor or they would.

Draco knew it was an odd choice and he was still not sure why he did it. But he had both his father and his boyfriend telling him he should make more of an effort. And he could admit that Harry had grown on him long ago.

He took out a box. "This is why we are here."

Harry was amazed. "You know I am already married to your father."

Draco smirked. "I plan to propose to Blaise."

Harry smiled a little. "Still think he could do better then you."

Draco grunted. "I knew I was wrong."

Harry stopped him. "For what?"

Draco decided to just do it. "I need some help planning a proposal."

Harry was shocked. "And you want me to help?"

Draco shrugged. "My father will run away with things. And the twins seemed to have rubbed off on you."

Harry smiled. "Never thought you would ask me for help."

Draco reminded him with an odd grin. "You are my step daddy."

Harry chucked a napkin at him. "Keep that up and I will have your dad cut you off."

Draco snorted. "He told you that he couldn't do so without a new heir."

Harry blushed and hid a small smile from his son in law. There was of course no way that Draco would be replaced as the Malfoy heir. Harry had three titles for children and Lucius had no intention of stripping his son. But he did want his son and husband to get along. Both Harry and Draco knew that and was one of the reasons they were sitting there now. Harry kept his news to himself for now. He and Lucius had agreed that they would wait to share it for a bit. They had only found out themselves a few days before.

Harry clapped Draco on the back. "We will make it special."

Draco was happy. "Don't think for a moment it will include marshmallows."

Harry snorted and assured him. "That is special between me and your dad. He is the one who seems obsessed with them."

Draco laughed as he agreed. "I am worried what you are converting him into."

Harry had to wonder. "So what do you and Blaise like to share?"

Draco found it odd talking to Harry but they shared some lunch and discussed. He found perhaps Harry was not that hard to talk to. They headed out after lunch to see to some plans. Harry reminded Draco that Lucius had the right idea about including something important to the couple. Though he could agree Blaise had a bit more posh tastes then Harry had and would want.

Draco thanked Harry before they parted. He grudgingly admitted. "Perhaps Dad made the right choice marrying you."

Hermione

Five years, how was it already five years? Tomorrow would be the fifth anniversary of the final battle. How much had changed in those five years. The battle had seen her lose Ron, her first love and who she once thought to be her soul mate. She had slowly moved on. She had finished law school three years ago and was working her way up, now a junior partner in her firm. Viktor had proposed to her eighteen months ago and they had celebrated their one year anniversary a few weeks ago. Viktor had come back into her life as a good friend, a support, patient with her when she recovered from her loss. And she had come to see him as her soul mate.

She had been meant to be at the memorial tomorrow but she knew she would not. As she looked down at the baby in her arms, she knew the family would forgive her. Having given birth to her first son the night before, she was just being released.

Viktor was hovering as he led them up the front steps. "Are you sure you are okay?"

Hermione laughed a little. "Yes."

Viktor didn't look convinced. "Maybe I should take him."

Hermione shook her head. "I am fine."

Her mother came up beside her. "All men are like this with their first."

Jean and Michael were so happy to be there and welcome their first grandchild. Lord and Lady Krum were waiting inside the house. They had come into town a week ago to make sure they didn't miss the birth. It was a good thing they had come early as their grandson had decided to come a week early. He seemed to want to have his own birthday and not share it with the anniversary or Victoire either. Unlike Bill and Fleur's daughter he had decided to come before the anniversary and have a day all of his own.

Lord and Lady Krum it seems were not the only ones when they came into the town house. The couple had bought Viktor and Hermione the home as a wedding gift when they married. Viktor was their heir but all their homes were on the continent.

Lady Krum was gushing as she came over. "How is he?"

Hermione assured her mother in law. "He slept through the bus ride just fine."

Viktor tried to lead her to a chair. "Perhaps you should sit down."

Hermione snorted. "I already have one mother, I am fine."

Harry appeared next to them. "Besides there is a better chair for her to try out."

Hermione smiled when she saw her best friend. "Decided to welcome your godson home?"

Harry was happy when she allowed him to take him. "Of course. You were there for mine."

Hermione had of course chosen Harry as godfather to her son. Viktor had picked Fleur who was a childhood friend. Hermione and Blaise served as godparents to Harry and Lucius' first son. She smiled at Harry who could no longer hide was pregnant with his second baby, his quidditch muscles no longer hiding it. A future Lord Potter and now future Lord Black, she knew he and Lucius were planning on one more, for the Prince estate. And were hoping for a future Lady Prince. Lucius was about to have his third son already.

Harry was happy to take his little godson. He had a few at this point including one of Fred's twins and Luna and Neville's son Frankie. But looking down at little baby Mikhail Ronald Krum he felt a special bond with the little boy.

Harry motioned. "It is time for you to see your last gift."

Hermione didn't like the sounds of that. "What did you do?"

Viktor agreed with his wife. "We already told you that you did enough."

Harry shrugged as he lead the way. "It seems my husband has rubbed off on me."

Hermione's nursery had been set up furniture and all but she was shocked to see the room. The room which had once been painted blue now had a beautiful mural on the walls. The walls were depicting nursery rhymes from the muggle world that they both knew. She had tears but laughed at the big cow jumping over the moon that was above the crib. But there was also a quidditch mobile.

Harry shrugged when she saw that. "Ron would insist I teach your son to be a champion, like his godfather and dad."

Remus

The house was way too quiet. He knew that was odd to say but he knew it never meant anything good. He should have been happy for some peace and quiet as he was working on a chapter. He was working on his third novel, the first two had been big hits. He had given up writing texts a few years ago but he had been working on novels. His publishers were on him about getting the next chapter in. But as much as the quiet would help him work he was bothered. If it was only his own son in the house he wouldn't worry. Though Teddy had some of his big brother's spirit, he was also a bit of a bookworm like his dad. But the house was full of blondes.

Remus put down his pen and decided to go find out what was going on. He had found himself babysitting a whole army of Malfoys. Draco and Blaise had left their two only for the day but Remus had his three grandchildren for the weekend.

He was surprised when Andromeda appeared. "We weren't expecting you until dinner."

Andromeda smiled a bit. "I thought you could use a hand."

Remus smiled a bit. "You are meant to be retired."

Andromeda shrugged. "You know we love spending time with all the grandchildren."

Remus knew. "I am a tad worried."

Andromeda eyed him. "Why?"

He motioned. "Do you hear anything?"

The woman raised an eyebrow. "No."

Remus smirked. "With six kids, five of them Malfoys, in this house somewhere?"

Andromeda laughed. "I am starting to understand."

Time had slowly started to heal a rift between Remus and Andromeda. Andromeda had retired from the hospital last year finally. She was a hands on grandma not only to Teddy but to Harry's children as well. And a doting great aunt to Draco's children. The kids all adored her and she had become a bit better about messes. She had been worse than Molly about being a neat freak. Ted had retired some years ago and he had encouraged her to as well. They had been invited to come have dinner tonight.

Remus passed his son's cat sleeping on the stairs and had no idea where to start. He found his son in the sitting room, perched in a chair reading his new quidditch magazine. Teddy was eleven, and about to start at Hogwarts in a month.

Teddy looked up from his book. "Hey Grandma."

Andromeda smiled. "Have you seen your niece and nephews, and their cousins?"

Teddy had an innocent look on his face. "No I have been reading."

Remus didn't buy it for a moment. "You have the same look as your brother when he is up to no good."

Teddy shrugged. "I learned from the best."

Remus snorted when he heard that. "He used to say the same."

Teddy knew that. "You were a marauder. But I really don't know where they are."

Remus shot him a look. "If they cause any damage you will share their punishment."

Teddy was more like Harry then Harry's own children. Andromeda often commented it was likely a mix of her daughter and Remus. He had got Tonks' fearlessness as well as her powers. And he had got Remus' book smarts but also mischievous side. He loved to read like his dad but he could be a real little ring leader with the others. He could only wonder what his son would get up to in school. Teddy was determined to be a lion. And only part of it had to do with the fact his parents and his big brother had all been Gryffindors. The team would have an opening for seeker as well. Ever since Harry had taught him how to fly he had been determined to follow in his big brother's steps as a quidditch star. Harry still played professional, even while teaching charms since Filius retired, except when he had been on paternity leave. The school had hired a new quidditch teacher as he had found it too hard to continue coaching. But Remus was head of Gryffindor, taking over for Minerva, and Harry still helped with the team.

Remus groaned when he heard a crash from up stairs. He called up the stairs. "You little hooligans better not have broken anything."

Harry

Harry and Lucius were celebrating their tenth anniversary that day. His husband and he were to leave on a trip for a week later that night. Their kids would be staying with Grandpa Remus while they were gone. For the first time in years Harry had been the one to plan their trip. Lucius usually tried to plan it, allowing Harry to plan date night, but he had lost the debate this time. Harry had worked hard to make sure that their trip would be special. They traveled with their kids every year but on their anniversary always went alone.

Harry had one stop to make before he joined Lucius. Their boys were with their Papa but he had a little companion on the trip. She may have only been four but she loved to come to the manor and talk to them.

Severus woke as they came into the den. "It has been a while."

Harry smiled at the man. "As your granddaughter reminded me."

Little Cella piped up. "I told him you would get lonely if we didn't come Grandpapa."

Severus had a genuine smile for the little girl. "Indeed."

Harry groaned to this day when he heard that. "You need to stop with that phrase. She is picking up on it."

Eileen who was awake as well laughed. "Well she is our heiress."

Marcella Lily Snape-Malfoy had been named the Prince heir when she was born. Her brothers were already the Black and Potter heirs. No one but Lucius ever called her Marcella, she was Cella to all. Harry often groaned he needed to limit the time Cella spent with her grandfather's painting. He didn't think a painting's personality could rub off on a child but it seemed he was wrong. Cella even seemed to have his smirk. If any grandfather he would have wished the kids would take after Moony though his boys did in ways.

Cella always loved to come and talk to them since she was old enough. She would often sit with one of them telling her a story while Harry continued his history lessons with Tiberius. Harry had added Snape to his last name six months before he married, and when he married he had dropped Potter. Though Cella would never know about Tobias, she would know her Prince heritage.

Cella showed him her newest book. "Look at my gift Grandpapa."

Severus saw the title and shot his son a look. "Kid's first potions?"

Harry grumbled. "It seems your godson has a bad sense of humor."

Cella pouted. "Draco gives the best gifts Daddy."

Eileen shared a smile with her son and father. "Another possible generation of potions master in the family."

Harry smirked. "Not if I can help it."

Cella asked. "Grandpapa can you read this with me?"

Harry reminded his daughter. "We have to go meet your Papa and brothers."

Severus was surprised. "Such a short visit?"

Harry smiled. "It is our anniversary. There is a party waiting."

Severus looked at Cella. "I am sure your dad will bring you back again soon."

Cella was pouting but she left with her dad. She was excited to see her big brother Draco and her nephews. Harry often laughed at the fact that Draco's kids were his kids' nephews even after all these years. Cella was the youngest of the bunch, both of her brothers and nephews were older though Draco's youngest was by less then a year. Her brothers were nine and seven, and Draco and Blaise's kids were seven and five. Cella was the only girl int the extended Malfoy family which earned her a special place for all the men.

Molly was hosting an early dinner for them at the Burrow. They had agreed to the dinner before they left. No one was surprised when Harry and Lucius left early from the party. Remus had known they were ditching early and was prepared.

Lucius was worried when his husband went to activate the portkey. "I am not sure about this."

Harry reminded him. "We have been married for ten years. I'd think you'd trust me by now."

Lucius kissed him tenderly. "I do. But I remember the last trip you planned."

Harry smirked. "You have eaten hot dogs with the kids I remind you."

Lucius couldn't deny that but he still hadn't forgotten the camping trip. Harry had thought of doing the same but decided to take it easy on his husband. They had traveled the world and done so much in the years since they were dating. Harry saw Lucius' surprise when he found themselves on a beach and Harry told him they were in Costa Rica. They would be staying at a private tree house like lodge near the water that was part of a wizard resort. He thought it was the kind of wilderness they would both love like Borneo.

But as he led Lucius inside he showed him something. "But I didn't forget the marshmallows."

An: Hope this is a good ending. A few requests wanted a wedding, how many kids Harry had (gave you a small glimpse of one), and to see if Draco ever fully approved of Harry. Oh and Teddy grown up a bit. Hopefully you approve.
