Epilogue:
Three Years Later
The morning of the first of September dawned.
Lucas and Derek Malfoy-Potter stood straight and proud in their new robes and trying not to show their nervousness in front of their family.
They were clutching their trolleys and were following Teddy onto Platform Nine and Three Quarters. Harry and Ginny followed them with the rest of the family and siblings.
It was mortifying for them as their entire family came along to see them off.
Their mother Ginny and step-dad Harry were there with their younger siblings James, Lily and Lyra (one year old). And Grandma Molly, Grandpa Arthur, and of course their favorite grandfather Lucius, Amelia, Aunt Andromeda , Uncle Blaise, Aunt Luna, Carlo, Isabella ( Carlo's younger sister) , Uncle Ron, Aunt Hermione, Rose (their daughter), Hugo (their son),Uncles Fred and George , plus Uncle Bill, Aunt Fleur, Victorie, Dominique, Louis.
They all were crowded around him and Derek, Grandma Molly kept telling them both how much they had grown. Great Aunt Andy simply gave them a soft smile and reached out to kiss them on their head each, telling them to eat well, study well and enjoy at Hogwarts.
Derek noticed everybody on the station was staring and pointing in their direction.
Yes, he and his older twin had known since long that they were well known as the Malfoy heirs, sons of Draco and Ginny, grandsons of the formidable Lucius Malfoy, now stepsons of the famous Harry Potter.
Lucas heard his brother's thoughts and sighed.
They wanted to be treated as normal. Teddy had told them all about his first year and how everybody wanted to be his friend just for being Harry Potter's son.
Seeing her sons sighing when they saw the public staring at them, Ginny said,"Don't worry about them,"
"Just ignore them and go on about your life as usual, just like how I and your dad do in public. "
"I know, mum." Lucas nodded and sighed again.
Worried for his mother, whenever she looks at them, she would cry silently and kiss or hug them since past week.
He knew the reason. He, Derek have a closer bond with their mother ( mother-son bond). They have shared most of their life with each other. Ever since Harry, their step dad came in their life, thus making their life happier than ever before.
Lucas saw Harry coming behind their mother, smiling softly at them and ruffled their blond hair.
He whispered something in her ear and she nodded, rolled her eyes and look fondly at her husband.
He then knelt down in front of them while Ginny stood a bit away and watching them from the corner of her eyes and talking with Luna and Blaise.
"Here I have something for you three." Harry whispered softly.
"What?" Teddy whispered back with a curious look.
"Well you have heard a lot about our adventures at Hogwarts from yours Uncles. "
They nodded and smiled.
"This is my invisibility cloak and a family heirloom," He whispered,"Take this and you three can share it whenever you want at school."
"And this is the marauder's map of Hogwarts where you can see and keep track of anybody you want to know about."
"Wicked." said Derek with a smirk. Lucas took the cloak and Teddy took the map and hid it inside their pocket.
"Use it well and don't ever lose it. " Harry said firmly with a slight warning.
"It's our family treasure and will be passed onto your youngest siblings too when it will be their turn to go to Hogwarts. So for now it will be yours for the next seven years."
They all leapt and hugged Harry enthusiastically.
"Remember that this will be used only for school and not at home or anywhere else. "
"Yes, dad. We will take care of it well and promise never to lose it too." All three said together.
"And don't tell your Uncle Severus that I have given these to you. He will have my head if he knew that I have given you three full rein to break hundreds of rules at Hogwarts."
Derek giggled, Teddy smiled widely and Lucas gave a full Malfoy smirk.
They all glanced at each other and lots of new ideas propping in their mind to explore Hogwarts freely under Uncle Severus's eyes.
Lucius came around and he shot a knowing Malfoy smirk at Harry, "I know what you gave them. "
Harry gave him a sheepish smile and ran his hand through his messy hair.
"Does Ginny know about it?"
Harry nodded and Lucius raised a questioning eyebrow at Ginny who was watching them too. Ginny shrugged and telling that she knew that what Harry was giving them.
"It's nothing to worry. I made them promise not to take full advantages of it and they should use it only in emergency. Right, boys?" Harry reassured him.
"Yes, dad!" They said and look at Lucius with a solemn look.
After a moment of silence, Lucius nodded and said with a smirk," Alright! Just don't get caught by your Uncle Severus."
"And create history of your own at Hogwarts. Just be yourself and don't worry about people's expectation of you all. "He continued.
"And write letters to me and let us know what house you both will be." Lucius smirked.
"Sure Grandfather. And thank you for the brooms. We love it. We will get in the Quidditch team for sure." Derek beamed at him.
Aunt Luna and Uncle Blaise came forward and hugged them, telling them to write letters to them too.
"Will you write me letters too?" Carlo said with teary eyes. Carlo who is seven years old and loves his oldest god brothers and wishes to be like them too.
Lucas shook his hand with Carlo and assured him that they will write everything about Hogwarts and Carlo sniffed and looking up at him seriously.
"Hey Lucas! Derek!" They heard a shout and turned to see Victorie running towards them.
She too was already wearing her brand-new Hogwarts robes, beamed at them.
"Ready to go to Hogwarts. " She asked with a wide smile. She was hiding her shaking hands inside her robe.
"Hey Victorie, yeah, we all are. " Derek beamed at her, relieved that someone else too was feeling the same as them.
Bill said to Harry and Ginny, watching his eldest daughter talked to her cousins, "She had been awake since 5 A.M and too excited and nervous to go to Hogwarts."
"Same here. Lucas was very quiet and Derek nervous but Teddy had been telling them all the way that Hogwarts is cool and they need not worry at all."
Harry said as they both lifted their children's trunk and owls onto the train.
Ginny was feeling nostalgic and Lucius gave her a one arm hug. She once again was feeling emotional about her own first born sons going to Hogwarts.
"Oh Ginevra, I understand how you are feeling now. I too felt the same when I sent my only son Draco on Hogwarts, "
"But what to do, it is a parent feeling that our children are leaving our safe nest and flying out on their own now. Even though they are growing up too fast, they will always come back to us and need our love too. "
"Oh Father, thank you for telling me.I feel better now. " Ginny rested her head on Lucius's shoulder, watching Harry and Bill lifting the trunks onto the train.
"And don't worry about them. I am sure that Severus will write us letters about them if anything goes wrong or …" He continued.
She nodded.
Aunt Hermione came forward and she handed and said," This is a new recent edition of Hogwarts: a History and thought that you would love to know the latest updates about Hogwarts."
"Thanks, Aunt Hermione. I am sure I would love to read it as soon as I can." Lucas smiled slightly and took the package.
Uncle Bill shook their hands and Aunt Fleur kissed on their both cheeks. Grandma Molly gave them a huge Weasley hug and Grandpa Arthur gave them a pat on their shoulders.
Lucas and Derek hugged their cousins and their little siblings too.
Uncle Ron actually got a moment to say goodbye as well. Uncles Fred and George told them "Have fun and prank alot." Molly hit them on their head and chided them for telling unwanted advice.
Harry checked the battered old watch that had once been Fabian Prewett.
"It's nearly eleven, you'd better get on board."
Lucas and Derek came and hugged Ginny.
They tried to hide their face as their eyes were tearing up at the thought of leaving their mother for long.
They burrowed their face in Ginny's robe. She knew what Lucas and Derek were feeling and she controlled her teary eyes and tried to be strong for them.
"Love you, mum." Lucas said and then he hugged Harry,"Love you dad."
"Bye, Lucas, Derek ," said Harry.
"And don't forget Hagrid's invited you to tea next Friday. Don't mess with Peeves. Don't duel anyone till you're learned how."
"Don't forget to give Neville our love!" Ginny told Teddy as she hugged him.
"Mum! I can't give a professor love!"
"But you know Neville-"
Teddy rolled his eyes.
"Outside, yeah, but at school he's Professor Longbottom, isn't he? I can't walk into Herbology and give him love. . . ."
He laughed and then waved and sprint away the corridor to find his friends.
"See you at Christmas. No breaking rules and listens to Uncle Severus. Work hard and no slacking off. And no sneaking around at curfew. Okay ?"
Ginny said to Lucas and Derek who was about to board the train too.
"Sure, mum. " Lucas drawled with an innocent look and glanced at Harry who returned the smile and winked at him.
The train began to move, and Ginny walked alongside it, waving and watching her sons 'blond hair and smiling face, already ablaze with excitement.
She kept smiling and waving, even though it was like a little bereavement, watching her twin sons glide away from her. . . .
The last trace of steam evaporated in the autumn air. The train rounded a corner.
Ginny's hand was still raised in farewell. Harry put an arm around her. Ron and Hermione, Luna and Blaise stood behind them.
All was well.
The morning of September third, an Owl Post was waiting with letters from Lucas, Derek and Teddy.
When they had their youngest kids started on breakfast, they both sat down to read the mail. Ginny read out and Harry listened.
Dear Mum and dad,
Derek and I got sorted into Gryffindor just like you mum and dad! Teddy is happy that we are here in his house too. Victorie got sorted into Ravenclaw .She was a bit disappointed but then we made sure that she has friends in her house too. But then there is a new common room where family members from different houses can meet each other whenever we can. Uncle Neville is our head of house. I passed your message to him, have made new friends. They were not bothered about our names and seem okay.
We got our schedules today, and had our first classes in DADA, Transfiguration, and Potions. We have our first Broom lesson tomorrow. Hoping that we can try out for the quidditch team too.
Give our love to James , Lily and Lyra too.
Write to me soon.
Your loving son,
Lucas
Harry handed the next letter of Derek and Teddy to Ginny, and then poured himself another cup of coffee. He hummed to himself as Ginny relaxed herself that her sons were alright.
He and Ginny had been married twenty five years today. They had a wonderful marriage life and have many children too.
In his study room at Potter Manor, Harry set a picture on the desk and gazed at it. His family was so precious to him.
In the picture, Harry and Ginny sat on a leather loveseat in their living room. She was still so beautiful, and gave him a smile that had always melted his heart.
He was so lucky that even after all these years, he was so much in love with his wife.
Teddy Remus Lupin Potter, the eldest and godson of the Potter family, stood at the center behind his parents, his sandy brown hair and brown eyes inherited from Remus and Dora Lupin.
At Hogwarts, He played Chaser for his house along with his twins brothers and got the top marks, became head boy in his year too. In School, he was popular as a prankster with his younger brothers Lucas and Derek and they were well known as the new Marauder trio.
After graduation, he became an Auror just like his real mother Dora and learnt a lot from Harry, Uncle Ron and Granny Amelia.
He met Victorie's French cousin Charlotte during Victorie 's wedding with her boyfriend and through family meeting and fell in love and married her. They have two beautiful girls and made Harry and Ginny proud grandparents.
Lucas Abraxas Malfoy Potter, second of the Potter children, stood next to Teddy.
He bore an uncanny resemblance to his real father Draco Malfoy, complete with his Malfoy blond hair and stormy grey eyes, the eldest grandson of Lucius Malfoy, he loves his grandfather very much and strives to be a true Malfoy heir.
Like Teddy, He became a chaser along his twin brother and won almost of their matches at Hogwarts. He had been a playboy during his school years. He became head boy too just like his real father Draco and his paternal grandfather Lucius in his year. He got top marks in Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, Transfiguration, Charms, and Defense.
After graduation, he joined Malfoy International and worked in every area of the company to get a feel of how the company works. He was a very hard worker and he handled the Malfoy Empire with his brothers and sisters too. Lucius and his mum and dad helped him at times.
At 20, he met his other half at Malfoy International, fell in love with her. Luckily she was a daughter of Ginny's most trustworthy colleague. They got married and gave two sons and a daughter.
Lucius Malfoy was full of pride and doted on his great grandchildren. He was happy that his Malfoy legacy continues.
Derek Alexander Malfoy Potter, the third of the Potter children, twin of Lucas and grandson of Lucius Malfoy, stood on the left side of Teddy.
He too bore an uncanny resemblance of his real father Draco Malfoy, with his blond hair but he has his mother's eyes. He is the slight opposite of his twin; he is a happy go lucky guy and has his mother's spirit.
He became a quidditch captain of his house Gryffindor team and was responsible for Gryffindor winning the house team. He got top marks in Potions, History, Defense, Herbology, Charms too.
After graduation, he apprenticed under his Uncle Severus for master degree in Potions. Severus was very happy to see his favorite nephew becoming famous Potion Master and expanded the Potion dept. at Malfoy International. He created more new potions for many magical diseases.
He married his school sweetheart, a muggleborn and gave four grandchildren, two boys and two girls.
James Sirius Potter, the fourth of the Potter children, stood next to Lucas's right.
He has jet black messy hair, inherited from Harry and brown eyes like Ginny. He was the first Potter who got sorted in Slytherin. He had always joked that his older twin brothers got sorted in Gryffindor and wanted to be different from them. And they gave everybody surprise. And it happened as he expected. Harry simply laughed at the unexpected and Severus was awed by their boldness by wanting to go in Slytherin. James and Lily changed the outlook of Slytherin and made everybody friendly with all the other houses too.
At Hogwarts, he played seeker for Slytherin. He loves pranking just like his oldest brothers used to do in school.
He became an animagus and followed his paternal grandfather James Potter's footsteps. Harry felt emotional when his son's animagus form was a stag.
After graduation,he became a famous quidditch player, played seeker in Chudley Cannon team and won maximum matches and made his Uncle Ron the happiest person on earth. He won the cup for England for five years. Ron felt proud of his godson's achievement.
Later on he joined his father Harry in creating more orphanages and schools for those who never got the chance to study in their life over England after all he knew the real reason of Harry as the philanthropist and his father's bad childhood' days. He vowed to help every little child in the Wizarding World get their life better. Harry felt emotional and hugged him when he announced to the family about his idea. Harry never thought that his son would be serious and mature and made his parents proud of him.
He married Isabelle Zabini and gave two grandsons .
Lily Luna Potter, the fifth of the Potter children, stood to Derek's left.
She looks just her mother and her paternal grandmother too. She looks stunningly beautiful as her mother with emerald eyes.
She had to be tough like Ginny, too, growing up with four older brothers. She was in Slytherin along with her twin brother. Like James, she has an animagus form of a doe.
She has wrapped Grandfather Lucius and Uncle Severus around her little finger. They doted on her a lot. She had sat on Lucius's lap most of her childhood days and learnt about the world and made them both to have tea with her. Unlike her oldest brother, she has no desire to play quidditch.
She had a crush on Jason, her older brothers' best friend. Luckily Jason was still a bachelor when she had graduated out of Hogwarts. Jason had got job here in England at Malfoy International.
At first her oldest brothers didn't want her to have relationship with him. She had cried and had appealed to her parents and Grandfather, Grandma Molly that she love him and how Teddy's real mother had married his real father Remus Lupin and there was much age difference too.
Teddy , Lucas and Derek didn't have any real reason against that point and then gave their blessing to her and Jason. They had threatened him if he hurt their little sister.
Then they got married. Mary and Paul (Ginny's American best friends) became happy that they became family officially at last. They too had two children.
Lyra Mary Potter, sixth of the Potter children, sat in front of her parents.
She has black hair and brown eyes, just her older brother James. She was sorted into Hufflepuff, very loyal to the core. Harry and Ginny joked that all of their children has been sorted in all of the houses.
She was a shy person just like her father Harry but was very good in defense. She wanted to become a teacher and teach Defense subject here at Hogwarts.
She graduated with top marks and became the youngest assistant teacher at Hogwarts. Later on she became full time teacher and is engaged to the son of Neville and Hannah Longbottom.
Damien Severus Potter, last of the Potter children, sat beside his older sister. He had brown hair and emerald eyes.
He was a surprise addition to the family. Ginny and Harry thought that Lyra was the last child they will have but then it happens sometimes. Damien's birth was a risky one because Ginny had a caesarean birth and he was born safe. Harry decided that he would be the last child of the family. He didn't want Ginny to take risk again.
He was an adorable child and was being pampered by Harry and Ginny. He was still studying at Hogwarts too. He was sorted into Ravenclaw. He was very intelligent and wanted to be a barrister like his Uncle Blaise.
Next to the Potter family photo was his best friend and Ginny's brother Ron Weasley family photo.
Ron held Hermione close. He became head Auror after Amelia had retired.
He was responsible for making the entire Auror department stronger than ever. He retired recently after being injured by a dark curse when he and his men captured dangerous dark wizards.
Hermione was still the brightest witch he ever had known, having had a remarkable career with the Ministry.
She became the youngest Head of Magical Law Enforcement Department just like her husband who too became the head of his own department.
Their two children, Rose and Hugo, stood on either side of their parents with their hands on their shoulders.
Rose look like Ron, very much her father's daughter. She loves drawing. Thus she grew up to be an architect and designed beautiful houses.
Ginny had taken her under her wing and got her job in the Architect Company. Malfoy International uses her wonderful and newly creative design and made many houses, apartments, penthouses and Manors over worldwide. Just like Lily who married Jason , She too had a crush on Carlo and made a huge fuss when she told Ron about her and Carlo relationship.
In the end,Ron agreed and she married Carlo Zabini and gave Luna and Blaise their first grandson.
Hugo looks like his mother in looks except he had his father's blue eyes.
He was studious like Hermione and became an Auror. He was the same age as Lyra Potter. He is engaged to Alice Longbottom.
Another photo showed Ginny's best friends Luna and Blaise Zabini.
Blaise still looked handsome as ever holding Luna in his arms. Their three children stood on either side of them.
Their oldest Carlo who married Rose Weasley. He handled his father's law firm and was one of the famous barristers in Wizarding England. Isabelle, their daughter who married James Potter, handled her mother's Daily Prophet Company. Their youngest daughter Bianca loves animals, wanted to take care of magical animals.
Next photo was of the Weasley twins. Fred and George had married Angelina and Katie and they both had twins boys and girls respectively. They were successful in their own business and opened many shops world wide. Their children helped them in the family business.
The rest of Weasley brothers were happily in their own life too.
Another photo was of two couples standing together.
The first couple was Lucius with Amelia, Lucius married her after Lucas and Derek started Hogwarts. It was a low key wedding only for close family. They were proud grandparents and love to see Malfoy Manor filled with child laughter and babies talks around the years.
Lucius has passed the chairman position to Ginny and allowed Lucas to take over Ginny's old position in Malfoy International. He retired from his company and spent time with Amelia and enjoyed their old age life together.
The second couple was Severus with Andromeda. They too got married at the same time as Lucius and Amelia did.
Severus retired from headmaster job and passed it over to Neville when Lucas and Derek got graduated. He took Derek under his wing, taught him everything about Potions and Andromeda too taught him about healing. They were responsible for him being able to create new healing potions. Severus and Andromeda stayed with Lucius and Amelia at Malfoy Manor forever.
Another photo was of the Weasleys—Arthur and Molly Weasley. Both he and Molly lived happily in retirement at the Burrow.
Arthur still tinkered and mucked about with Muggle artifacts like never before, despite Molly's protests. She still worried that he would blow himself and that muggle shed to smithereens one day.
And the last photo Harry gazed was an old photo of his parents' and Lily Potter, standing with their friend and Harry's godfather, Sirius . Next to it was a photo of Remus, Dora wedding .
He whispered "Hey mum, dad, Sirius, Remus, Dora, Today is my and Ginny's 25th anniversary. I can't believe how much time had passed. We have seven children and have many grandchildren too. Life has been wonderful for me. Thank you. I love you all."
Then suddenly there was a knock and Harry jerked up to see Ginny standing near the door. She saw his face and understood what he had been doing. She reminded him that the children are waiting downstairs for our party. He nodded.
The party was going on and Harry was dancing with Ginny. Their children whistled and cheered loudly encouraging Harry to sing a song to Ginny. Their grandchildren danced around them too.
He was singing his favorite song 'Forever and Always ' to her. She smiled brilliantly and rested her head on his shoulders, closing her eyes and listening to his voice.
