Epilogue

Harry recovered from the battle just in time for his birthday. During the school year, he and Hermione planned a good number of Hogsmeade trips so they could spend more time with Ron and Ginny.

Harry had also been correct about Remus' child.

The day the students got off the train for Christmas, nobody was there to greet them. James and Lily were going to floo. The Golden Group wanted to ride the train so they could talk to Luna and Neville. Ginny grabbed onto Harry as the students apparated to the outside of Potter Manor. When they walked in, they heard the sound of Melissa screaming in agony. Suddenly, her cries were replaced by the sound of a baby. Suddenly, Sirius swore and went running down the stairs to see the students.

"You were supposed to come home today." Sirius said pointing to the kids.

"Nice to know you remembered." Harry teased.

"Mel had been in labor for six hours." Sirius defended.

"It's a boy. Isn't it?" Harry asked as James and Lily entered.

"How did you know?" Sirius asked.

"Mel had the baby?" Lily asked running upstairs to her friend.

"A Potter gift." Harry said winking at James. "That I received just before my sixth year."

"You've had those powers for that long?" James asked. "I didn't receive them until after I graduated."

"We learn at different ages." Harry said.

"Well," Sirius continued. "It is a boy. They named him…"

"Colin." Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny finished.

"Okay Smart Alicks." Sirius said. "What does he look like?"

"He looks like Remus, but with Melissa's eyes." Harry told him.

"Have you figured out YOUR kid's name?"

"No." Harry said. "We haven't even argued about that."

"It's going to be Harry Jr." Ginny said.

"Excuse me? No it's not."

"Yes it will be."

"No it won't"

"Yes it will."

"No it won't"

"They've argued now." Ron said watching the two argue.

"Oh my gosh." Sirius stated to James. "They look like you and Lils when YOU argue."

"James!" Lily said coming halfway down the stairs. "You HAVE to see Colin. He's so cu…what are they arguing about?"

"Yes it will."

"No it won't"

"Whether or not their future kid will be named Harry Jr." James said. "Remember when we did that before I proposed?"

"Yeah. Wasn't that just pretend though?"

"Yes."

"What was the name we were arguing about?"

"Sirius." James laughed.

"You nearly named me "Sirius?"" Harry asked as he overheard the conversation.

"Yes." James said. "Sirius James Potter. We knew from a family secret otherwise, but we had to act."

"Thank you for stopping him." Harry said to his mother.

"Your welcome." Lily said. "C'mon up and meet Colin."

In Melissa's room,

The group walked in and saw Melissa holding a small bundle with Remus looking over her shoulder.

"He's so cute." Ginny cooed when she saw the baby.

"Look Vega." Spica said bouncing an eight-month old Vega in her arms. "There's Colin."

"Colin Jonathan Lupin." Remus told them.

"After your father?" James asked. Jonathan Lupin was Remus' late father.

Remus nodded.

"I have it!" Harry said and whispered something to Ginny.

"I can live with that if it's a boy." She said. "Taran Charles Potter."

The Lupins and Spica looked at the two in horror.

"They were doing the classic argument of baby names before the thought of actually conceiving." Lily said. "At least, no conception BETTER not have taken place."

"Mum. Don't worry. The most Ginny and I have done was…"

"Snog in a closet." Ron and Hermione finished.

"We were doing rounds when we caught them." Hermione explained.

"I TOLD you the Room of Requirement was a better choice." Harry whispered to his girlfriend.

"We could always name him…" she whispered something.

"I will NOT torture him with seven initials." Harry told her. "Taran Harry James Sirius Remus Charles Potter. That's even crazier than Harry Jr. Pick one middle name."

"Okay. I choose Harry."

Harry slapped his forehead.

"We'll discuss this in three years." Harry told her as he sat down in a wooden chair next to Melissa and starred at Colin.

A twenty-one year old Harry was standing behind Ginny as she held a bundle in her arms.

"Welcome to the world, Taran Charles Potter." She whispered.

Harry sat up in shock.

"What?" Ginny asked.

"I'm right."

"Harry?" Ginny asked.

"Taran Charles Potter." Harry whispered.

"What?" Ron asked.

"Wait four years." Harry told him. "You'll see."
