We'll find a place where there's room to grow

And yes, we've just begun

Hermione sighed happily as she relaxed in a swing on the grounds of Hogwarts, a cup of tea in her hand, watching the children playing on the banks of the lake. She looked up suddenly as she felt a hand on her shoulder. She smiled when she found herself staring into the eyes of her 87 year old husband, Severus Snape. He grinned and leaned over carefully to kiss her lips gently. She held his hand and pulled him down to sit next to her. He settled in, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Hermione was now 69 years old, but she was as gorgeous to him as ever. She shook her head as she watched their fifteen grandchildren playing hide and seek behind the trees.

"What is it, darling?" Severus asked.

"Oh, nothing, just wondering how on earth fifty years could have passed since our wedding day. The time went by so fast… our children are all grown with their own children," Hermione whispered, tears filling her eyes.

"Love, these past fifty years have been filled with the most love and happiness… the love and happiness I thought I would never feel," he said, kissing her temple. She smiled.

"I know, darling, and all my dreams have come true. I found the love of my life, I had five gorgeous children, fifteen perfect grandchildren, I became Headmistress of Hogwarts, and all of our children are successful. There's nothing more I could have ever asked for," she said, a tear falling down her cheek. She laid her head on Severus' shoulder, wanting to stay there until her dying day.

A few minutes later, the twins, Kenton and Rosalyn, came over to tell their mother and father it was time to cut the anniversary cake. Severus stood up and held out his hand to help Hermione. After gathering all the children, all the other relatives, and all of Hermione and Severus' own children, everyone gathered around the table. A forty-nine year old Felicity Potter (she of course married Harry and Ginny's son, Caleb), stood up across from her parents, dressed in Gryffindor crimson and gold (she had been appointed Head of Gryffindor ten years ago).

"Mum and Dad, I don't really even know where to start, but I know two words can just about cover it. Fifty years. You two have been together for FIFTY years, and that is amazing. This day in age, you don't see that too often. But if you'll look around… all of your children are still happily married, with our own families. You taught us well," she said, her voice cracking. Hermione began to cry, and she stole a look at Severus, who had tears running down his own wrinkled cheeks. "Your hair may have faded to grey, and you may be older than you were on your wedding day, but anyone can see your love hasn't faded in the least. You're just as in love as you were fifty years ago, and every day you have shared together and every day you will share together from here on out is a blessing. We love you both with all our hearts," she said, and stole a look at her four brothers and sisters, who stood up as well.

It was then that Kenton began to speak. "Mum, Dad, all five of us went in and got you a gift, something that we all know you've always wanted, but were always too busy buying things for us to get for yourselves," he said, looking at his twin sister.

"Now, don't say this is too much, because we won't have it," Rosalyn said, pulling an envelope out of her robe pocket and handing it to Vivienne.

Vivienne grinned and held the envelope in her hands. "You know I wanted to be the one to actually hand it to you, but Hunter insisted, because he's the youngest," in a loud whisper, she added, "He'll never let us forget it, will he?" Everyone laughed as she handed the envelope to Hunter. Hunter grinned and took it.

"Mum, Dad, this is from your children, in-laws, and grandchildren. It's a thank you for giving us this life we are so lucky to live. We love you," he said, handing the envelope to his parents.

Hermione and Severus each reached out a hand and took it, looking at each other, wondering what could be in the envelope.

Severus opened it, and as the two of them peered down at it, their mouths dropped.

Hermione looked up at her children in awe.

"You bought us a summer home?" she said weakly. All of their children beamed back at them.

"Yes, in Scotland, right outside of Edinburgh," Vivienne exclaimed, "we know how the two of you love Scotland, and how you've wanted to spend your summers somewhere away from Hogwarts, and well, we wanted you to have it," she said, a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Oh, darlings, this is just wonderful… you didn't have to do this, but Merlin, we're glad you did!" Hermione exclaimed.

"You all, this is the most amazing gift. Your mother and I are so grateful," Severus said, still in shock. He stood up and helped his wife to her feet, and the two of them went to the other side of the table and wrapped their arms around their children, never feeling more lucky in their entire lives.

After everyone separated, Felicity spoke again.

"Mum, Dad, while you have been together fifty years, we know you have many more years of happiness together. Your lives have just started," she said, smiling, putting her arm around Caleb's waist as she leaned against him.

Severus looked down at his wife, and felt the world melt away around him. He had come so far in his life, and it was all because of the gorgeous woman in front of him. He leaned down and kissed her lips gently, and all of a sudden, he felt thirty-seven again.

As she kissed her husband, surrounded by nearly every person she had ever loved in her whole life, she felt the years slip away, and she was nineteen again, fresh out of school, ready to face the world ahead with Severus at her side.

Their life together was a beautiful circle, never ending and never fading away. All of the people surrounding them in the sunshine on a gorgeous August day were proof of that.

A love as pure as theirs would never fade. They had only just begun.

And when the evening comes we smile

So much of life ahead

Fin.
