Epilogue

It was nearing Harry’s third birthday, his second since Lily and James died.

Harry was going over to Malfoy Manor to play with Draco for summer solstice, while Severus and Remus attempted to conceive. It had been hard for Severus to recover from the loss of his twin but between Harry and Remus he was emotionally grounded now.

Harry was finally adjusted to being their son, not that they wanted to erase Lily or James’ memory but Harry was theirs…

They’d always wanted a family of their own, with Harry as their son, they would like a daughter if they could get one…

Between the potion and the wild magic of the solstice, Severus believed that they had a high chance of conception…

Remus was clearly detirmined that they concieve today and that Severus enjoyed it…

XoooooX

Severus let Andromeda use a pregnancy detection charm on him and had to struggle not to cry in happiness when the spell revealed that he was.

Andromeda of course prescribed prenatal potions and other vitamins to offset his nutritional intake as well as a strict diet. Severus wanted a daughter but he knew his childhood and adolescent malnutrition might cause problems.

“When will you tell Harry?” the former Queen of Slytherin asked.

“On his birthday.” Severus said before he flooed back home to Wisteria Meadows.

XoooooX

Finally it was Harry’s third birthday and his second since coming to stay with Severus and Remus.

Severus and Remus had invited Draco and Neville Longbottom who were just turned four over to play. The other boys present were Draco, Neville whose birthday was yesterday, Blaise Zabini, Adrian Pucey who was a year older then Draco and a few other children of Severus and Remus’ old schoolmates.

It was teatime when they were led into the front parlour.

There was a large cake decorated in brooms, snitches and Quaffles.

Harry received a mountain of presents, but his favourite seemed to be the toy snitch that Draco gave him.

When most of the guests left, Severus sat down with Harry in his lap, “Harry, we’ve got a surprise for you.”

Harry tilted his head back to look up at Severus, “What is it? Present?”

Remus ruffled his hair, “Not exactly pup. Your papa is going to have a baby. You’re going to be a big brother.”

Harry frowned, “But…”

Severus hugged him closer, “What’s wrong Harry?”

“I’m not…”

“You’re not what?” Remus asked looking worried.

“I’m not your real son.”

Severus sighed, “Oh Harry. Remember what we told you? Your mum was my best friend in the whole world. She loved you very, very much. Your father was Remus’ best friend too. You like playing with us when we’re animals right?”

Harry nodded.

Remus kissed the top of his head, “James taught us how to do it. He was a stag.”

Harry summoned his stuffed stag, “You mean like Prongs?”

Remus laughed, “That was his nickname. I was Moony, Severus was Sneaky, Sirius was Padfoot and Lily,”

“Lily was Lily.”

Harry frowned, “Why mum not have nickname?”

Severus chuckled, “Because she couldn’t be anything else but she was a doe. Your father was a Potter, Potters are known to fall in love early and they only fall in love once. Lily knew that your father was spoiled but underneath that was a brave, caring man. He saved my life once. He and your mum are heroes. Don’t let anyone tell you any different. We love you pup, we couldn’t love you anymore if you were ours by blood. Remus is one of your godfathers just like Padfoot was. Sirius was very, very brave; he was an Auror like James.”

“James and Sirius were partners until we heard that you were in danger. James went into hiding but Sirius wanted to keep protecting people. He died on a mission just before your parents died. We don’t even know for sure if they knew.”

“You sure won’t love less?” Harry asked quietly.

Severus shook his head, “Never. You’re the son of our heart. We got to hold you right after your parents. We were there when you were born. Your parents loved you very much. They wanted us to raise you, because they wanted you to be with people who loved each other and loved you. They wanted you to have brothers and sisters.”

“Okay…” Harry gave them a shy smile, “I guess I want to be a big brother.”

Remus hugged him and the three sat on the sofa in a tangle of arms.

XoooooX

It had been a difficult pregnancy.

If Remus had had any gift of precog he would had refused to allow Severus to take that dratted potion.

Harry worried himself almost sick and Severus spent a lot of time in bed.

When the time came for Severus to be delivered, they kept their twin girls inside Severus to the very earliest, Remus reluctantly flooed Harry over to Malfoy Manor.

Once the girls were delivered and Severus was ready for visitors, Remus returned to the Manor to fetch Harry.

He gently woke their adopted son.

“Harry, time to wake up.”

Harry sat up and rubbed his eyes, “Dad?”

His dad was grinning, “Would you like to come home and meet your sisters?”

His dad had been really tired and frowned a lot. His papa had been really sick. He spent most of his time in bed. When Harry was home they took naps together. His dad didn’t like it if his papa made himself more tired.

Harry grinned back, “Papa okay?

His dad’s grin froze, “Madam Pomfrey says so. He’ll still be very tired. He’ll need us to help take care of your sisters.”

“We go home now?”

His dad picked him up and hugged him, “I love you so much Harry. Don’t ever forget it.”

Harry wrapped his arms around Remus’ neck, “I love you too.”

They flooed back to the apartment they shared at Hogwarts.

Remus carried him up the stairs to the room he shared with Severus.

The door was opened and they could see his Severus in bed.

“Hello there Harry. Come meet your sisters.”

Remus had worried that Harry wouldn’t like them and that he would be jealous. Their girls were so beautiful; they had Remus’ own curly hair and his golden eyes but they had Severus’ black hair.

Harry climbed out Remus’ arms and knelt beside Severus.

Severus of course still looked tired and Harry was clearly worried.

“This is Artemis Lilith and this is Nemia Jasmine.”

Harry whispered, “They are so pretty.”

His papa put Artemis in his arms and showed him how to hold her wit Remus behind Harry bracing him.

Harry grinned at her sleepy, frowning face, “I’m your big brother.”

She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

“They won’t do much but eat and sleep.”

“I help! I promise.” Harry whispered.

Remus had Harry in his lap while Harry held Artemis, he knew that Harry would love their precious girls just as much as himself and Severus.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
