The Elvin Consequence
Chapter Thirteen
A year after the war Harry received an invitation to the wedding of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. They had invited him plus one.
Harry and Severus were not in attendance but sent a nice gift instead.
The following year on Harry's twentieth birthday they were due to marry themselves, it was a full blown celebrity wedding because of Harry's position on Britain's best Quidditch team and his reputation as the Worlds best Seeker. Harry and Severus made a point not to even bother inviting people like the Weasley's.
Harry didn't hear from either Ron or Hermione again after that though gossip spread quickly and he knew t hat after six children they had divorced on extremely bad terms.
When Harry was twenty-five and Severus forty-eight they had their own child. It was after much debate and discussion that it finally happened. Severus carried her in a magically created womb so that Harry could continue playing Quidditch.
She was born by c-section nine months after conception on the tenth of December. She weighed in at exactly eight pounds. The happy couple called their little bundle of job Serenity Marvolo Elwend Snape.
Draco and Oliver were named as Godparents to the little darling who was already well on her way to being spoilt by the time she was a month old.
Draco and Oliver had finally got married three years before becoming Godparents to Serenity and had had their own bundle of joy a year after Serenity was born. They called him Trent Draconis Wood.
Draco and Harry had both decided that the surnames of Potter and Malfoy should die with them.
Over the years both couples stayed friends and Trent and Serenity practically grew up seeing each other everyday. They attended the same primary school and even though there was a year's difference between the two of them they were inseparable and loved causing mischief together.
Serenity grew up to be a beautiful little girl with gorgeous, long, silky black hair and electric green eyes. At eleven years old she was sent to Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin, which was no big surprise seeing as she was a direct descendent of Salazar Slytherin himself by one parent and the other a Slytherin himself.
She had the intelligence that matched that of any Ravenclaw and she soon became top of her year. She was graceful enough however not to flaunt this and annoy everyone with her intellect.
Trent followed her to Hogwarts a year later, he was not as smart and he had a fascination with Quidditch and women even at eleven. He was sorted into Slytherin also and he and Serenity were united once more.
Severus opened a small potions shop once Serenity had gone to Hogwarts and Harry continued to play Quidditch. The Montrose Magpies won the Quidditch world cup every time they competed for it and the team kept their reputation as most successful team in the history of the British and Irish league.
When Serenity was fifteen and Harry was forty he retired unbeaten from his Quidditch days, he claimed that he wanted to spend more time with his husband. By this time Severus was sixty-three and still going strong. His potion shop had been a great success and he was kept extremely busy brewing the pre-ordered potions.
In Serenity's sixth year they got news that she and Trent were dating.
Draco later told Severus and Harry that Serenity was the only girl who had ever been able to tie Trent down. He had turned into a complete womaniser in his teenage years, a handsome young man who went through as many women as he did school robes. Serenity it seemed was the only one who could keep him in order.
This proved to be correct when Serenity graduated with the highest grades in her year and her and Trent were still going strong.
Harry and Severus couldn't have been prouder of their little girl.
Trent graduated a year later with average grades and then pursued a career in Quidditch. Serenity hadn't made up her mind about what she wanted to do and had spent a year working at the Ministry of Magic.
She finally decided to go back to Hogwarts and become Headmistress if it was the last thing that she did. She later told her parents that she really felt as if she belonged there. She made headmistress at twenty-four, she was the youngest Head Hogwarts had ever had.
Trent, who had replaced Harry in popularity in Quidditch, had proposed to Serenity that year.
A year later and forty-nine year old Harry and seventy-two year old Severus Snape attended their daughters wedding. Serenity it seemed was determined to start a family and keep her position at Hogwarts; nothing could stand in her way.
So when Annette Elwend Snape-Wood was born Serenity and Trent arranged who would look after her. Trent would usually take care of her when he wasn't training while Serenity was fulfilling her duties at Hogwarts. When Trent was training the proud Grandparents would take care of her.
No family could have been happier than the Wood's and the Snape's.
