Chapter 8

Epilogue

Pansy smiled as Luna approached the little table. The small coffee shop in Diagon Alley was sparsely populated at eleven A.M. on a Tuesday, and they had the outdoor seating to themselves. “Chamomile,” Luna said as she set the teapot on the pad in the center of the table. “I thought that after the last few days we could use something calming.”

“Always so practical.” Pansy looked at her friend with a sad smile. “Thank you, and D… Draco thanks you, too.”

“I am certain,” Luna said. “Will you be okay?”

Pansy looked into the sky above the rooftops. “Eventually, eventually.” She looked back down at Luna. “Hugo told me what was in his report. Your back-up plan worked perfectly.”

“Thank you for warning me he was so close to the truth, it let me prepare for him.”

“It was the least I could do… considering everything.” Pansy’s hand went to the locket she wore. As she gently caressed the gift Draco gave her on Delphinia’s first birthday, she said, “I think he was ready.”

“He was, Pansy. I would never have proceeded if there was a chance he wasn’t. I believe he told you repeatedly how much he loved you and how happy his time with you made him. He made sure Scorpius and Delphinia knew how much he loved them, and he arranged his affairs so that you and his children will never want for anything.”

Pansy chuckled. “Well, not all his children.”

Luna smiled. “The boys can’t spend their way through their allowance now, I doubt they’ll ever want for anything, either. One day Lorcan and Lysander will know the truth and why I kept it from them, but it won’t matter by then, we’ll be gone.”

Luna laid her hand on Pansy’s. “Come and live with me.” Pansy looked at her, slightly shocked. Luna smiled. “We’re both alone now, Pansy. I don’t intend to go looking for another man, and I don’t think you will.”

“No, there was never another man for me, never, and there never will be.”

Luna nodded. “I know, nor for me. No one would care, Pansy, and I think we could be very happy together. Neither of us has a love constrained by gender, I love you and I believe you love me.”

Pansy smiled warmly at her. “Yes, I love you. I’ve loved you since… ever.”

“Then come live with me. The manor holds too many memories for you, and I don’t think it would be a good idea for you to stay there with them. I believe, even with Scorpius and Hugo there with you, it would become a cloister of sadness. Come down to Surrey, breathe the fresh country air, and feel the sun on your face. Come and live with me, my beautiful Slytherin princess, and we’ll make some new memories.”

Pansy smiled genuinely. “All right.”

Pansy was coming. Her fingers tangled in Luna’s hair as the blonde woman tongued her relentlessly. They lay on a blanket in a field of wildflowers, a basket with bread, wine and cheese lying forgotten next to them.

“Oh, Luna,” Pansy sighed.

Luna kissed her way up Pansy’s body until they lay side by side on the blanket. “Yes, my love?”

Pansy stretched and embraced her lover, then she kissed her long and passionately. “I love you.”

“I’m aware, you showed me just how much earlier,” Luna said. The wicked grin she wore was an expression only Pansy ever saw, and it made her blush a little.

“Who’d have thought, all those years ago when we were prisoners, that we’d end up here,” Pansy said.

“Certainly not Madam Lestrange,” Luna said, and Pansy chuckled. Luna absently made shadow shapes with her fingers on the alabaster skin of Pansy’s stomach. The warm summer sun tracked lazily across the sky while Pansy watched her lover. Finally Luna looked up into her eyes and said, “They say heaven can be found in the most unlikely of places. It certainly was that way for us.”

Pansy leaned in and kissed her soundly. “Yes it was.”

Pansy and Luna sat in the drawing room of Parkinson Place. Hugo recognized it. This memory was from much later, after Luna had purchased Parkinson Place as an anniversary present for Pansy. The two women appeared to be in their late nineties, and they smiled amiably at him.

“And so now at last you know everything, Hugo,” Luna said and smirked. “Again.”

Pansy smiled at Luna and turned to him. “It’s your choice how much to tell Scorpius, but I think he can know everything as well,” she said.

“Lorcan and Lysander have been given a similar message, and they will probably be coming to you soon,” Luna told him. “They will be surprised, I am sure, but they know you and Scorpius well, and I think they will be happy to have another brother and a sister.”

“We love you both,” Pansy said. “Now that you know how far we had to go to protect Draco and his children, I hope you can forgive us the small liberties we took. Remember us fondly, Hugo.”

“Goodbye,” they said together, and the memory went dark.

Hugo pulled his head from the pensieve in Scorpius’s study. He looked at his husband of forty years and started to chuckle.

“What’s so funny, Hugo?” Scorpius asked.

“Madam Scamander,” he said and sniggered. “She chose an interesting set of memories to leave me.”

“Did they have the answer you needed?”

Hugo snorted. “That and more, my love, that and more.” He heaved a breath and walked to the bar. “I’m having a double,” he chuckled as he poured two glasses. “And so are you.”

“I am, am I?” Scorpius said as he took his glass.

Hugo laughed as he sat in his chair across from Scorpius. “Yeah, you’re going to need it.” Hugo smiled across his glass and took a long draw. “First, you have two brothers…”
