Hello, dearest readers! I have edited the previous chapter so as to make it more finalized, so if you have read this before, please revisit the end. I like it a bit better this time. Thank you to everyone who's read and reviewed; I appreciate all types of input and criticism. Enjoy your epilogue!

Epilogue
"Pardon, I thought you just said that my son's been consorting with Harry Potter's daughter."
Astoria sighed and tried again. "Lily Potter is a charming young woman."
"You've met her?" spat Draco, gripping his teacup dangerously tightly.
"Scorpius was afraid you'd take it like this…"
"But he told you."
"I only found out by accident," Astoria admitted. "I was in Diagon Alley yesterday when we thought he was at Sylvester's…and he was having tea with her in the same shop I met Daphne at. They've been seeing each other for several months now. She seems very polite and well-bred —"
"She is a Weasley," Draco hissed from his dark leather armchair. "She cannot possibly be well-bred and a Weasley."
"She is Harry Potter's daughter. Perhaps you remember Harry Potter," said Astoria, standing her ground. "Once upon a time, you refused to say his name because you were ashamed that he saved your life."
"I do not get ashamed," said Draco, tight-lipped.
"You're being stubborn," sighed Astoria, and she sat in the armchair across from her husband. "You owe Harry Potter a life debt."
Draco twitched involuntarily.
"Perhaps you could repay him by not murdering his daughter when she joins us for dinner tonight."
His teacup smashed on the floor and Scorpius, standing behind the parlor's doors, smiled a little. Well, that didn't go too badly at all.
