Epilogue – Of Stars and Surprises
‘Mummy, what are the stars?’ the little girl asked as she lay flat on her mother while they both lay on the cool sand and stared up in the sky, where stars tingled and shone like little illuminated crystals. The brunette smiled and kissed the crown of her daughter’s head as it rested between her breasts, her arms wrapped around her baby girl.
‘What do you think they are?’ she asked and felt her girl shrugging.
‘I have heard they’re the dead, the gods, they’re planets and spells that went wrong, aunt Luna is never clear about them or tells me of creatures I haven’t seen in our books.’ The girl replied and Hermione chuckled and nodded to herself.
‘I think they’re the gods and the people who love us but are not here anymore,’ Hermione said and her girl looked up at her, angling her head as much as possible to look at her mother, green eyes melting in brown.
‘Really?’ Lily asked and Hermione smiled and nodded her head. ‘How do you know?’ she asked, as always, and Hermione smiled and elaborated.
‘Remember the book we read about the deities of the world? All these pantheons of the Greeks, the Romans, the Egyptians, the Indians, the Celts, the British and the rest?’ Hermione asked and Lily nodded her head. ‘Well we had so many wars over the history to justify which pantheon was the right one, but people never looked up at the sky to realize that all pantheons were accurate… they’re all up there, giving strength to people to do things they wouldn’t even believe they’re capable of… when a power gives you such strength, it can be divine…’ Hermione said, of course she knew the stars were planets and suns of other systems, but right now her baby girl needed to believe in fairy tales, astronomy could wait until her Hogwarts years.
‘So all these stars are actually the gods?’ Lily asked and looked back up, ‘and what about the ones that have left from this world?’ Lily asked again and Hermione smiled.
‘What better place to go after you’re away from here than among the Gods?’ A deep male voice was heard and both Hermione and Lily looked up at Harry who was approaching with a smile on his face and another little girl by his hand, Margaret Potter. They both sat down next to the two Potters and Margaret like Lily, laid flat on her dad while he winked at his wife.
‘Grandma is up there, daddy?’ Lily asked as her little sister looked too at their dad.
‘Of course she is, with grandpa, Teddy’s parents and the rest of the people that have left this world…’ Harry said as he looked at his eldest girl and smiled.
‘The gods are p’rotecting them?’ Margaret asked and Harry smiled and nodded his head.
‘Exactly, and they are protecting us.’ Hermione said this time and Harry smiled as both the girls looked up at the sky with their green eyes sparkling, reflecting the amazing blue veil of the sky in them. Harry took Hermione’s hand in his and she smiled at him, their vacation in Italy was always an amazing period of relaxation and family times. Margaret and Craig were delighted to have their grandson, his wife and their daughters with them for the summer vacations and Harry and Hermione were more than happy to escape a bit from the Wizarding World and have fun in Italy like they had been doing for the past six years.
‘Guys! It’s time for dinner!’ Margaret’s voice was heard from the doorstep and the girls rolled off their parents at the same time and rushed close to their great grandmother but the couple remained on the blanket in the beach, Harry moved on his side while Hermione snuggled closer to her husband.
It hadn’t easy for them to become husband and wife, after their first visit in Italy, they had to return and face friends, family and the community that went crazy over their new relationship. The harder was Ron of course, and his insecurities, along Molly’s struggle to accept that the plan for a big happy Weasley family was now gone for good. But Harry and Hermione had made it, by each other’s side, holding on and keeping up, and they had also found out who truly accepted them and even expected them to become one, people like Luna and Neville and even McGonagall and Andromeda Tonks, it was great to know people supported them.
‘I missed this peace and quiet,’ Harry said and Hermione smiled and nodded her head as he leaned down and kissed her lips softly.
For the past months, the Wizarding World was crazy about the ten years from the Battle of Hogwarts as a new threat had surfaced with some remaining Death Eaters and some wannabes trying on the anniversary to hit the ministry. The community had stood strong but for the entire May, June and July things were hectic for all the departments of the ministry of Britain and the Aurors were the busiest office with missions that had Harry injured more than once, now most of the people of the gang were captured and sent to Azkaban as thankfully, they hadn’t been as dangerous as the Death Eaters of the two Wizarding Wars, yet the couple was exhausted and spent by all the effort for the past three months.
‘I’m glad we’re finally at peace,’ Hermione whispered against Harry’s lips, he smiled and kissed her again. ‘I have something to tell you,’ she added but they were interrupted by Margaret, old habits die hard…
‘Come on lovebirds, your daughters are devouring the food and you’ll be left hungry…’ the old woman said and Harry grinned and stood up and helped his smiling wife on her feet as well. The trio moved inside to find Craig playing with the girls and feeding Margaret with zooming movements of his spoon for the little girl to eat her spaghetti that was cut for her in small pieces.
‘Grandpa, she can eat on her own, she’s three now,’ Harry tried to scold his grandfather who loved to spoil the girls and as usual, the older man waved Harry off.
‘Oh let me spoil them a bit, I thought you wouldn’t make it this year for your vacations here…I missed the little devils.’ Craig said while Hermione and Margaret moved to the kitchen to bring more things on the table.
‘Sweetie can you take the plate with the chicken?’ Margaret asked as Hermione approached and nodded, however the moment she took the plate and the steam from the warm food reached her nostrils she set the table down and brought her hand on her nose and mouth to block the smell and to seal her lips. Margaret rushed close to her and held her by the shoulder.
‘What happened? Are you alright?’ she asked worriedly as she held the younger woman who tried to wave off her concern and nod. ‘I thought you’d like chicken… you only can’t stand it when you’re-‘ Margaret’s eyes widened as Hermione gave a weak smile and nodded. ‘Oh my God!!’ Margaret called out and hugged the younger woman. ‘Another one? Oh Hermione you’re making me so happy.’ Margaret exclaimed and Hermione smiled and nodded. ‘Does Harry know?’ she asked as she held the young woman by the arms and looked at her shaking her head. ‘He’s going to be delighted.’ She commented and Hermione grinned.
‘I think the baby maker is really working…’ Hermione said as she had been given the blanket a few years ago, after having made love with Harry on it.
‘Oh it is! I can’t believe it! You and Harry are making me so happy!’ Margaret said as she hugged Hermione again the moment Harry entered the kitchen.
‘Why are we making you so happy?’ he asked as he looked between his wife and grandmother and then at the chicken on the counter. ‘And why we’re not eating? Lily wants chicken,’ he added and looked at his grandmother who moved closer, hugged him tightly and pinched his cheeks lovingly before she could take the chicken and move to the dining room, Harry all the while was looking at Hermione’s amused expression.
‘Did she learn about us buying the neighboring house? I thought we would let that for a surprise over dinner, Hermione…’ Harry said disapprovingly but Hermione shook her head negatively. They had decided to have a house in Italy too, and connect it with the floo network so they could be visiting more frequently since the portkey system needed days to give permissions of out of the borders trips and it was too much of a trouble for a weekend in Italy when they had the time. ‘Then what is it?’ he asked as he approached and Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck while he wrapped his own around the small of her waist, their faces close.
‘You know… that small Quidditch practice we have started with Lily for the past months…’ Hermione started and Harry looked at her nodded, ‘I have to stop that…’ she said and Harry grinned and shook his head.
‘Oh come on, love…, I thought we were done with your fear of heights, look, we’ll have a few more flights together, just the two of us and then we can have you again on a broom.’ Harry said but Hermione smiled and shook her head.
‘It’s not about my fear of heights… it’s about my body in the next months not able to be on a broom…’ Hermione said and Harry looked at her confused for a moment before his eyes could actually lit with realization.
‘Nooo… yeaah?’ Harry said and Hermione grinned and nodded as he looked at her belly between them in amazement.
‘You are pregnant? Another baby girl?’ he asked smiling and Hermione kept the grin on and nodded as he leaned down and kissed her lips softly.
‘Or a baby boy…’ she said seriously and Harry grinned, Harry Potter wasn’t famous only for his accomplishments but also for how tight his daughters had him wrapped around their little fingers, and Hermione loved him for that, but she also wanted a little Harry in the house, her husband and best friend was happy to have miniatures of hers in their home, as Lily and Maggie were exactly like Hermione, only with different eyes, but Hermione wanted a little boy too, a son to complete the family.
‘You’re happy?’ she asked softly, having realized a long time ago that this was her greatest goal in life, making Harry happy after all they’ve been through.
‘Happy? No, I was happy when you said yes… when you walked down the aisle… when I felt Lily kicking from inside your belly… when I watched Maggie breastfeeding for the first time… now I’m just over the moon, Hermione.’ Harry added in the same soft voice and Hermione could only smile brightly and kiss her husband harder than before.
‘SHE’S PREGNANT??!! I WILL HAVE ANOTHER LITTLE ONE TO SPOIL??’ Craig was heard from the dinning room and was followed by the girls’ squeals and clapping.
‘Some surprise,’ Hermione whispered against Harry’s lips who grinned and nodded.
‘We still have the house card in our sleeve,’ Harry reminded her and she grinned as they both moved in the dining and got greeted by two little squalling girls and Craig’s hugs while Margaret watched her family with a smile.
She might had a couch spoiled a few years ago but… Mission Accomplished.
