Chapter 4 Epilogue – A New Life
The village was quiet, it was almost ten in the morning but Godric’s Hollow seemed always calm and quiet. A couple with a toddler by the man’s hand and a baby in the woman’s hug moved close to the graveyard. The snow had stopped falling a few hours back and now everything was covered in fresh snow, small Christmas lights were lighting and distinguished themselves from the windows of the semi-detached houses, filling the family’s view with colors and the sweet happiness for the rest of the day…
‘James, come on, Buddy, we don’t have much time,’ Harry said as he pushed the gates of the graveyard and entered the place with his three years old son by his hand and his wife and their few months old daughter right next to him.
The family started in the snow for the usual path they moved in every once in a few days and approached the two tombs. The flowers they had left the previous week were still there trapped in the snow that surrounded the two tombs. Harry hugged Hermione and she turned and kissed her husband’s cheek, she handed him their little baby girl wrapped in her pink blankets and Hermione took her wand out of its case, she made a circling movement and a new, fresh bouquet of roses showed up from the wand’s tip. Little James took the roses and placed them in front of his grandparents’ tombs as Hermione disappeared the old bouquet with a wave of her hand. Harry remained silent and looked at his family with a smile in his face.
It was a tradition by now, after seven years of leaving England, Harry and Hermione always visited the Grangers, some friends and right before they could return home, the Potters, a day like this, a Christmas morning the family not coming for their traditional visit was simply out of the question. Once in every week, the family visited England so they wouldn’t lose the people they loved, people like Hermione’s parents, Andromeda, Teddy and Hagrid. This time; they had decided to visit the graveyard first and then the rest.
Hermione smiled at her son as he placed the roses close to Lilly’s tomb. The toddler kissed his palm above his woolen glove and placed it flat on his grandmother’s snow-covered tomb. He repeated that gesture of love on James’ tomb and then moved close to his father.
‘Papa!’ James said and raised his arms so his dad could hug him. Hermione smiled at her husband as he gave her their sleeping daughter in her hands so he could scoop their son in his hug.
Harry bowed his body and with his wand conjured a small orchid; he kissed its petals lightly and placed it in front of his parents’ tombs. ‘I miss you,’ Harry whispered, his parents weren’t the only people he missed, Sirius, Remus, Tonks and so many more who died for him, but Harry missed some alive people as well.
He hadn’t seen the Weasleys for years but he knew about Mr. Weasley dying three years after their move, Ginny being married to Dean Thomas and Ron being with Luna Lovegood but having affairs with Lavender Brown periodically, bad habits die hard. He sighed at the sight of the line The Last Enemy shall be destroyed is Death and trailed his fingers to clean the phrase from the snow before he straiten his body with his son in his hug. James squealed in happiness as his father placed him on his shoulders. Harry turned and looked at Hermione’s hands as his little daughter woke up and started whimpering.
‘Lilly!’ James exclaimed as he saw his sister waking up. Hermione started rocking her little baby and smiled at Harry and James.
‘I think it’s time for this little princess to go somewhere warmer than here, nana Jane and grandpa Alex’s house sounds great, since nana will have cook chocolate cake…’ Harry said and James squealed and clapped his hands in delight. Hermione nodded and kissed her baby’s head as she grinned amused at her son’s happiness.
‘Come on, sweetheart,’ Harry whispered to his wife as he helped her with her scarf since her hands were busy holding Lilly. Hermione smiled her thanks and pecked Harry’s lips, making James squeal and clap for his parents’ kiss.
‘I think Lilly already misses her cot,’ Hermione said and Harry nodded, he cast a banding charm on his son so he won’t fall from his shoulder and with one arm he hugged Hermione by her shoulders.
Hermione smiled and leaned closer to Harry as she re-positioned Lilly in her hug and freed one of her arms so she can hug Harry by his waist, the family turned in silence and walked away through the snow, past Dumbledore’s mother and sister, back towards the church and the out-of-sight kissing gate.
