AN: Okay, this is just to tie things up a bit.

Unneeded: Glad to have you back. Good points all around. Now, wait till you see my new project, it's full of angst, torture and abuse. Give it a read, if you have time.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Epilogue?

As the first day for their seventh year loomed ahead, Hermione and Ron were settled into their new home, while Draco, Harry and Cedric were living in the Manor with the Malfoys. Dean, Neville and Seamus had a summer cottage on the edge of the Longbottom Estate and their two boys, Argus and Francis, along with their daughter Rhiannah, were healthy and happy babies.

Blaise had finally gotten Ernie to admit to his feelings and they quickly bonded, before their first daughter, Lilah Grace Zabini was born. Ernie was expecting another baby five months into the school year. They would take the TAMF class together this year, even though Blaise had passed with high marks previously. Anthony Goldstein, Terry Boot and Michael Corner were bonded at the end of the previous year, and the boys were looking forward to the birth of their first child in November.

Over the summer, Vince had taken the curse and was in a relationship with Miles Bletchely, a Slytherin from Cedric's year, and Greg was already carrying twins from Carson Warrington, Miles' best friend. It turned out that the two older goons had fancied the younger for years and they had all kept it secret, even from Draco. The biggest problem the older boys had was the younger boys' involvement with the Dark Lord. Now, with him out of the way, they were all on the same page, so to speak.

Then, on a before term shopping trip with Sirius, while the babies were in the care of the recently united grandmother team, Molly, Narcissa and Rhonda Diggory, Harry and Draco came face-to-face with Lee Jordan-Weasley, who dragged them into the newly established Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, Fred and George's shop that was funded by a consortium of pure-blood families, all wanting to garner favor with any wizard inflicted with Hermione's curse. It was becoming vogue for gay wizards to become parents and this was the safest method available.

Lucius, Severus, Albus and the higher ups in the Wizengamut had deemed it too dangerous to be given to the public at large, so only those already living this life, and a few others that had gained permission from the Ministry of Magic would be able to use it. The waiting list was longer than the roster of Voldemort's Death Eaters.

Another result was the use of the curse in matters of reformation. All unrepentant rapist, murderers and violent wizards were given the option of Azkaban or castration with the inclusion of the curse and a strict regime of reassignment courses and potions to modify their behavior. Among those who had undergone this punishment, at the insistence of his parents, was Adrian Pucey, now known as Adrienne. Before Christmas, he was engaged to be wed to Laramee Montague and their marriage contract included a clause for five children, not of multiple births. Provided that no health problem prove to be a concern. If so, the contract would be renegotiated, or nullified, and the Azkaban sentence revisited.

Lee shared all this information with them over tea and scones, while Fred fussed over his brother, who was four months along with his first child. Lee and his bonded husband were sharing the apartment over the store, while Fred had moved in with his girlfriend Katie Bell, in an apartment over Ollivander's store. She worked for the wandmaker, preparing the wands for cores.

“Tell me about the delivery, Harry.” Lee asked him privately, while Draco was in the loo and Fred was insisting that his brother have a healthy snack, while Cedric and Sirius laughed at their antics. “Is it horrible? I'm very worried about Georgie.”

“Worse thing you can imagine. But, Morpheus was so perfect, and it was all worth it.” Harry explained making Lee cringe.

“So, you've taken the cure, I'm guessing.” Harry shook his head and Lee gaped. “No? But, Malfoy has, right?” Harry shook his head again and Lee stared for so long that the boy-who-lived took pity on him.

“We had a bet, you know. Whoever was better at birthing, didn't whinge or complain, would get the cure and the other would have another baby. Well, Cedric was our judge, but both of us tried to get him to say the other had won, until Cedric pronounced it a tie, and said we would both have to have his baby, next. So, there you have it.”

“And you're going to? Have another baby?” Lee asked hopefully.

“Not right away. Draco had the worst time of it, and they keep telling me how undernourished and small I am, so we're building up our stamina, working out and getting as healthy as we can. It's becoming a new way of competing for Draco and I. We thrive on it, if you hadn't guessed.”

“Oh, I think everyone knows that. An eagle and a snake, bitter enemies or best of friends.” Harry took a turn at gaping and Lee laughed so hard that everyone, including Malfoy, who had returned to the room, looked their way.

“What's going on?” the blond asked.

“Oh, Harry and I were just talking about all the little witches and wizards in our futures. You will let us know when the Potter-Malfoy line gets any longer, won't you?”

“Potter, don't tell them about things like that. That's private.” Draco huffed, his cheeks pink and his lips curling ever so slightly. Sirius roared with laughter and Draco slugged Harry's shoulder.

“We'll probably have to announce it in the Daily Prophet, Drake.” Cedric added. “Nothing is private for us, anymore.”

The special housing arrangements, christened the Granger Dorm, were expanded to house couples and babies, or single girls and boys. They even had a mascot, a stork, and were given special points toward the house cup. There was new scheduling done for classes, encouraging house unity by splitting up the classes, including a few students from each house and making them shorter lengths. Harry and Draco, as well as Blaise and Ernie, had most of their classes together, but were split up for Defense and Transfigurations, being pared up with their opposites for these subjects. Blaise and Harry were in Defense, while Draco and Ernie were in Transfigurations, and visa versa. The same went for other couples, or trios, who found they had to adapt to time spent away from each other, as well as together. Dean and Neville were in Defense, with Harry and Blaise, while Seamus was in Transfiguration with Draco. Added to this Dean was in Herbology, while Neville and Seamus were in Care of Magical Creatures.

The specialized classes for males or females brought them back together, and the All Male Family class had to be broken up, because it had grown over the past year. Now, the houses were split again, but when a couple was in two different houses, that were not scheduled the same day, they could choose which group to meet with and have their schedules adapted for this. Blaise would have to meet with the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaws, since Slytherin was scheduled to go with Gryffindors.

The shock would be greatest among the Ravenclaws when the new class, Family Guidance for Young Couples and Trios was started and the older students involved with their classmates were invited to attend. It would only meet once a week, on Saturdays, and would be taught by Professor Allen Summersby, and another class that was arranged because of pressure from the families of some female students: The All Female Family, taught by Laura Talbot-Bones, the wife of Amelia Bones from the Wizengamut.

Hermione and Ron had kept to themselves about Harry and his new family, but just before school started, the brightest witch of her time cornered him in their kitchen, while Ron and Draco were engaged in a game of wizard's chess, that Draco was winning, barely. “When is the bonding? You can't mean to put it off much longer?”

“It's no big deal. Hermione. Lucius and Narcissa said that as long as we bond before Scorpius' birthday, he'll be considered legitimate. They aren't gonna do something that will jeopardize their heir. It has something to do with a trial marriage.”

“A What?”

“Yeah. It's a trial period to assure that the marriage will work. If a child is conceived or born during it, then when the trial period is over, as long as the marriage, or bond, is completed, the child is accepted by the family. We've been in one ever since we conceived, according to Lucius.”

“Really?”

“Yep, and the bonding is coming up, so don't worry. It'll be before Scorpius' birthday. Then, when school starts, we'll be a triad for the new class. The problem is, the Ministry is insisting on it being a big deal. They want to host it, and have lots of people invited. Some hooplah.”

“Oh, well good. Then, that's settled. Is it formal?”

“Are Malfoys all pure-blood prats?”

“Formal it is. I'll get Ron to take me shopping.”

“Good, cause I want you to look stunning and make everyone drool, especially Draco, Lucius and Snape. They've never fully appreciated how pretty you are.”

“Thank you, Harry.”

The joining of the Diggory, Potter and Malfoy families was no less than the event of the decade. It took place in the atrium of the Ministry of Magic and was attended by the Minister of Magic as well as the Muggle Prime Minister. Every politician, business man and wealthy family had sent a representative, and the joining was officiated by Albus Dumbledore, himself. The three young wizards stood together, with their supporters behind them, and Dumbledore stood just above them on a raised platform.

“I am thrilled to be here, seeing the first true unity of houses from Hogwarts. Here stand one Slytherin, one Hufflepuff and one Gryffindor. If we had a Ravenclaw, it would be a sight to behold. But, alas, we can only hope for the future. Now, for the amenities. Do you have the tokens?”

All three boys held up two rings, one of silver, one of white gold. Dumbledore nodded and continued.

“From the Diggory family, Cedric has something to say.”

Cedric cleared his throat and cast a sonorus. “Harry, Draco. I've never been as happy as I have over this last year. With you, and our boys, I've discovered what it truly means to be a family, and I want that for the rest of my life. I promise to be true to you both, to love you and to care for you. I will do my share of the work and give my share of the pleasure. I love you both, so much.” and he placed the silver ring on Draco's finger, and the white gold on Harry's.

“Thank you, Cedric. Now, the last of the Potter family, Harry?”

It was awkward, no matter how many times he had practiced, so Harry just blurted, “I love you guys and I want to be with you forever. You are my husbands, my mothers and my fathers, and you take on all those roles so I don't feel the hole inside of me, anymore.” He quickly passed out the rings, silver to Cedric and white gold to Draco.

“Eh, yes. Okay, now the son of the Long and Illustrious Malfoy Line, Draco?”

“I knew when we came together, that Harry and Cedric were the perfect additions to the Malfoy family. If not for you, my family would have ended with me, and possibly left this world without the one thing that has kept us going for so long, our good name. Harry, you and your friends helped us to see the 'light' and brought us out of darkness. Cedric, you have added to our family and helped to end a curse that has lasted for ten generations. You've both brought me joy and love, and I cannot help but return both. You are mine, and I am yours. Forever.” And with a flourish that only Draco could manage, he placed his rings, silver on Harry and white gold on Cedric.

“Very good. Now, before we begin, can anyone give proof that this bonding is not legal, true and the wishes of these three young people? No? Then, let the ceremony continue.” Next, Dumbledore had them cross their arms and join hands in a circle, the rings on their fingers touching, opposite metals together. “Repeat after me. This circle is everlasting. This union is unbreakable. This bond is binding. This love is undying. We are one and we are three. A triad of mutual respect and affection. Let Merlin bless our home and our family.” When they had finished, Dumbledore waved his wand, creating a blue/green fog that surrounded them and seemed to seep into their skin. “It is done.” he said and the gathering cheered.

After the ceremony, an elaborate dinner was held in the Ministry's Grande Hall. It was being called the event of the century and there were reporters and celebrities and anyone who was anyone was in attendance. Harry was having trouble wrapping his head around it all, but Draco kept touching his elbow and smiling at him, so he managed to get through it. Cedric laughed whenever he spaced out and had to be brought back to Earth with one of the blond's loving reminders, and they were all exhausted by the end of the reception.

When they got home, they spent some time with the babies, now nearly to their first birthday, before collapsing together in their shared bed. The day had been so tiring that they fell asleep without much more than some mutual wanking and one little blowjob. Tomorrow was the first of September and departure day for their next term at Hogwarts and they needed to sleep and be ready.

School was exciting, the curriculum took on a whole new feel when you had something to motivate you like a growing family. The four boys had their first birthdays, celebrated with as much pomp as Lucius could muster, and their presents filled their nursery in the manor. Harry rolled his eyes as Draco justified every last thing they received as necessary for a growing boy, and Cedric laughed behind his hand. “I didn't have any of this growing up.” Harry informed them.

Draco gasped dramatically, “Those terrible muggles!” he announced and proceeded to instruct the elves on where each item was to be stored.

As if this wasn't enough, Harry received a positive test for pregnancy in November, and their fifth child was due in the following summer. Lucius scowled to the boys, but gushed over this turn of events to his wife later that day.

Roger Davies-Snape gave the couple their first child, a boy, named Tobias Jr. in December. Severus had told him about his father, but Roger insisted that they would change history by raising the man's grandson with love and affection. Snape reluctantly agreed.

Adrienne Pucey-Montague returned to school in February to make up for missed work and join the new classes. His husband took a house in Hogsmeade, so the couple lived outside of the castle, but Snape let it slip that the castrated boy was expecting triplets in August.

George gave birth in February, to a pretty little red haired, but chocolate skinned girl that they name Rayelle Dierdre Jordan-Weasley. She was the first grand-daughter for the Weasley family, and would certainly be more spoiled than Ginny was. Arthur built the couple a new home, on the edge of the land where the Burrow was located and Fred took over the apartments. He and Katie joined in a triad with Alicia Spinnet and both girls were soon on their way to motherhood. Greg's babies, twin boys, John and Martin, and Ernie's second daughter, Rae Anne, were born in February, too.

The school year ended with no unexpected events, and the seventh years passed an amazing number of NEWTs this term. Adrienne's triplets sons came early, July fifteenth, and Vince had a son on Harry's birthday and named him Andrew. Thirteen sixth years were approved for the Hermione's Curse, and the Granger Dorm was to be expanded over the summer.

The next generation of Hogwarts students came together for the second birthday party for Daniel on the grounds of the wizarding school in late July, and there were 20 babies, of varying ages, in attendance. 15 boys and only 5 girls. The shadow of Voldemort was long gone from the islands and Lucius leaned back with his wife to watch the festivities.

“Your son has done amazing things, Cissy.” the man said.

“My son? Lucius, this is all the work of the golden trio, at least two sides of it. Harry and Hermione have changed the world, brought peace and saved many lives doing it. If they had not managed to change the way that wizards reproduce, there would surely have been war and many of those young people, as well as their parents, would likely have died. I think I like our story better this way.” the woman took a cocktail from the tray of a passing elf and smiled at the gathered party-goers. Many of the young people held babies too small to walk, but her grandchildren ran among the legs of the young adults and pulled at Dumbledore's beard when they passed.

It was a perfect life and nothing could spoil it now!

AN: So, that statement could sound ominous, right? Who remembers the prophecy from Chapter 21?

I feel like this was the begats from the old testament. Sorry. Okay, so it's almost over and then I can go on to other needy works. Hope you like it. Please review with your thoughts. One more chapter to go?
