Epilogue

19 Years Later...

"Enough James! Give it a rest." Ginny said to her son. James had taunted Albus all the way here during the car ride.

"I won't be in Slytherin, right Mum?" Albus asked.

"I only said he might be." James defended. "It's not bad, I'm only saying he might be in Slyth-"

But the look Ginny shot him silenced him. They approached the barrier and James, with a last look over his shoulder at his brother, disappeared through it with his trolley.

"You'll write to me?" Albus asked immediately when his brother was gone.

"Every day if you like." She told him.

"Not every day. James says most kids don't get that much mail."

Ginny grinned. "We wrote to your brother three times a week last year. Don't you believe him if he says otherwise."

"As a matter of fact," Harry said, coming up to them with Lily. "You don't want to believe everything he tells you about Hogwarts."

Albus nodded and, together, the family pushed the second trolley through the barrier, emerging on Platform nine and three- quarters.

Albus was looking around nervously. "Do you see them yet?"

"We'll find them, don't worry." Harry assured him.

Ginny saw them in the crowd. "I see them, Al." she told her anxious son.

Ginny smiled at her brother as they approached he and Hermione with their children. "Hey." she said, smiling.

"Hey," Ron greeted them.

Ginny and Hermione were listening to Hugo and Rose discussing which houses they would get into when Harry and Ron came back from loading Albus' trunk onto the train.

"If you're not in Gryffindor," Ron said, "we'll disinherit you."

The young children laughed but Albus and Rose looked scared.

"He doesn't mean that." Ginny assured them and Hermione punch Ron in the arm.

"Look how it is." Ron said and they all looked up.

Draco Malfoy stood with his wife and son. Ginny's gaze wandered over him. He was wearing a dark coat. Ginny saw, standing out like a beacon in the sea, the small golden bird pinned to his jacket. Ginny's heart skipped a beat as she remembered the day she gave him that pin. She wondered briefly if he had ever told his wife where he had gotten it but decided immediately that, like her, he thought somethings were best kept secret.

Draco looked up from his son, seeing them all staring at him. His eyes moved over them all, resting momentarily on Ginny. His eyes drifted from her face to the silver dragon barrette in her hair and back again. He smiled briefly before nodding curtly to the others and turning away.

Ginny smiled, remembering the love she had felt for that man. That man who would have done anything to make her happy.

You guys have been wonderful! I really hope you enjoyed my story and the next time you read Harry Potter, maybe you'll wonder if, just maybe, there wasn't some Unseen Side to the whole story!
