Epilogue
June 2009
Luna stretched her arms high over her head and felt the joints in her shoulders and the discs in her back pop. Harry looked up at her from his place on the ground, kneeling and arms deep in the vegetable patch. His face screwed up in disgust and Luna peered at him curiously.
"I heard that," he said. Luna cocked her head to the side and watched him with interest. "I heard your back popping," he clarified and Luna chuckled in response, shrugging.
"Garden work is hard on the body," she replied and glanced down at the flower bed that she had been tending to. Harry sighed and stood, wiping at the dirt that clung to his clothes. He stepped towards her and stopped, dropping a quick kiss to her lips.
"I think I've mentioned how easy a few simple spells would make this," he reminded her and Luna smiled.
"Yes, but-"
"But it's not the same. I know… You've mentioned that a few times before too," Harry said, and looked around at the plants. "What'd you say, Mrs. Potter? Have we worked hard enough today?"
Luna smiled happily at her husband and nodded. "I think so, Mr. Potter. And how would you feel about a bit of tea and lunch?" Luna glanced towards Harry although she already knew what his answer would be and placed her hands on either side of her ever growing belly. "I think all that work made the little one hungry."
Harry chuckled and nodded, grabbing at one of her hands and interlacing his fingers with her. He pulled her hand up to his mouth and kissed her skin reverently before gently pulling her towards their home. As they reached the back door leading into their home, Harry paused and turned to his wife. He stepped close to her and kissed her.
"I love you," he whispered and Luna smiled at him.
"I know."
