Yeah, I did it. A whole story without a song attached. Not much in the way of lemons either. I�m sorry for that, but it just didn�t seem to fit in too well with this one.

I hope you still enjoyed the story. I�ve got two or three other plot bunnies running round in my head. Will have to see what happens. Thank you for reading, and an even bigger thank you to those who took the time to review this story.

Chapter 65 Epilogue

Severus was strong enough to join Paula when she entered the school that Christmas, Luminitsa fastened to her chest with a large shawl. They took a slow, steady walk from the vurdon, Paula holding onto his arm, supporting him, though she made it look as though she wasn�t.
It had been fifteen months since the demise of Voldemort, Luminitsa was eight months old and extremely alert. Her eyes took in her surroundings when they entered the Great Hall and she smiled and cooed delightedly when she was passed from one staff member to another. Each was happily gifted with a large amount of drool as she was teething, no one was left without losing at least one fistful of hair and Minerva�s glasses were promptly grabbed, tasted and thrown to the floor.

Severus was greeted fondly and was soon brought up to date with the current plans to re-open the school the following summer.

He agreed to take up his old position as Potions Master, Paula said she would resume the post of Defence instructor.
The meal was almost over when the great doors opened and Harry, Hermione, and the full clan of Weasley�s entered to celebrate Christmas with them.
After several hours, Harry asked to speak privately with Paula.
�I�m sorry I didn�t get in touch sooner, It was a lot to take in you know.�

�I do. And now?�

�Now, well I� I wondered if you� we� �

Paula opened her arms �Av akai. Come here.� and Harry stepped into them. She embraced the now crying young man and allowed her own tears to join his. His soul was healing nicely. �My palesko.� She whispered.

Harry looked at her. �What?�
�My palesko. Nephew Harry.�

�Oh. Is that a Romany word?�

�It is, I am tu bibio, your aunt. Luminitsa is your simensa, your cousin, and vise versa.�

�Erm, aunty Paula?�
�Just Paula will do thank you. Aunty makes me feel old.� She said with a laugh.
�Right, Paula, you and Professor Snape, are you gonna get� well married? Its just that if you do, well wont that make him my uncle?� He asked with a shudder.
Paula was forced to sit down she laughed so hard. �Yes, I suppose it would. Though he has not asked me.�

�Oh. Hey, I�m an uncle too. Luminitsa, it�s a long name, can it be shortened?�
�Lumi, it means light, Nista is little. Together they mean little light. I think when she is older she would not like being called little. Lumi. What do you think?�
Harry grinned. I think Lumi sounds just fine, and it�s a lot easier to remember.�

By mid summer Severus was complaining that someone had raided his store room during his absence.
Paula explained about taking his Phoenix tears, but that Fawkes was happy to replace them for him.

Fawkes was happily re-ensconced in the headmistresses office where he could gaze upon the portrait of his beloved master.
Lumi was a constant with her father. Wherever Severus was, Lumi was to be found hanging on to his robes, babbling incessantly and never leaving him except to eat or take a nap.
A week before classes were due to start, Severus made his way down to the wagon, he did not even think about returning to his rooms. When he neared he could hear the flageolet playing softly, accompanied by Paula�s voice as she sang to their daughter.

ROMANY SUTTUR GILLIE

Jaw to sutturs, my tiny chi;

Your die to dukker has jall'd abri;

At rarde she will wel palal

And tute of her tud shall pie.

Jaw to lutherum, tiny baw!

I'm teerie deya's purie mam;

As tute cams her tud canaw

Thy deya meerie tud did cam.
He waited until she finished and took hold of the sleeping child, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead before settling her into the crib.
He sat down and Paula served them dinner. �Severus, chindilan? Si tut bocklo�
�What?�

�Are you tired? Hungry?�
�Yes, a little. Paula, I wanted to ask you something.�
She turned her face to him, waiting.
�Will you� I thought it would be a good time to� for us to� will you marry me? Please.�
�I will. And the sooner the better.�

Severus sighed with relief when she said yes, then his brow furrowed in consternation. �As eager as I am to make you legally mine, why are you in a hurry?�

She gave him a coy look. Soon I will be cambori, it is best that we do this soon.�

�Cambori? Paula you�re doing it again.�

�I will be big with child Severus. Already I am three months gone. Had you not noticed my swollen belly, the thickening of my waist?�
�No I hadn�t. You�re what? Three months. How long have you known? Do you� �
�Shh!� She said crossly. �You�ll waken Lumi. I found out a month ago, and I waited because I was hoping you would ask me before you found out. And yes, I do know what it is, in six months you will have your chavo. A son Severus.�
Several times he opened his mouth to speak, and as many times he closed it when nothing came out. Instead he stood and rounded the table to take her in his arms. �Thank you for the most precious gifts possible.� He whispered.
Two days later they apparated to the Italian Dolomites, where the clan Paula met when she sought the Whitefire-Moon diamond, married them in the true Romany tradition.
Back at Hogwarts Minerva and the others insisted they repeat the ceremony with a traditional hand fasting so that everyone there could witness and enjoy the celebration.
Severus was cleared with the Ministry of Magic and awarded the Order of Merlin, first class.
He and Paula taught at Hogwarts for many years, Paula finally managing to cope with living indoors during term time, but each summer they and their ever growing family would pile into the wagon and take off for old and new places.
Severus was stunned when he realised they�d beaten the Weasley�s when it came to the number of children they had. Eleven in all. On top of that they had seventeen grandchildren, twenty eight great grandchildren, and three others on the way.
Riley and Goldie created their own dynasty, their offspring mixing and pairing up with both the unicorns and the Thestrals, until the Forbidden Forest teamed with several new species of variants on the original beasts.
The clan Snape was a revered name amongst the Romanies and would remain so. None dared utter a word against them, in fact none wished to, and great respect was afforded them if ever a tribe happened to cross their paths.
The wizarding world too showed a great deal of respect when dealing with the clan Snape. They were all powerful wizards and witches and not many dared to challenge one of them.
Some were black eyed, some carried the olive green eyes of Paula.
Their birth of their second great, great grandchild was a cause for celebration. He had olive green eyes with a darker blue border and small brown flecks showing clearly in the green. Sevag, (meaning �black eyed�) son of Darach, (meaning oak, because he was born beneath an oak tree) son of Rachina, (meaning creation) daughter of Severus and Paula�s fourth child, a son named Raimunde Severus. (meaning wise protector)
Sevag was born a soul searcher, just like his great, great grandmother.
It took quite a lot of researching on Severus� part, and along with the help of the aged charms professor, Filius Flitwick, the child was gifted with two cores in each forearm. Phoenix crest and unicorn hair in his left, a small amount of willingly given ground centaur hoof and thestral blood in his right.

Fawkes, who was still going strong, provided the tears that bound the cores and healed the wounds on the babies arms.
Christmas and Easter, they would all gather in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, joined by Harry, Ginny and their family, and Ron and Hermione and their family, plus anyone else that cared to show up.

At first Severus found it difficult accepting them all, especially as Harry insisted on calling him �Uncle Severus�. Paula had a hard time convincing her husband not to hex the young man, but eventually the older wizard excepted his lot, albeit with a little resentment. He was Severus Snape after all.

ROMANY SUTTUR GILLIE

Sleep thee, little tawny girl!

Thy mother's gone abroad to spae,

Her kindly milk thou shalt enjoy

When home she comes at close of day.

Sleep thee, little tawny guest!

Thy mother is my daughter fine;

As thou dost love her kindly breast,

She once did love this breast of mine
