Epilogue
Six months later, Harry and Hermione were sitting on the couch at their new apartment. Just recently, they had moved in together, and the day they did Harry proposed to her. She said yes, of course. She was thrilled, along with everyone that didn't know about the contract. They were planning a huge wedding with a guest list nearly three hundred people long.
At that moment, they were discussing wedding plans. This was not surprising considering that they were almost always discussing wedding plans. Harry and Hermione's discussion was interrupted by the phone ringing.
"I'll get it," Hermione said. "Hello?"
"Hey Hermione, it's Ginny."
"Hi Gin, what's up? You sound excited."
"That's because I am. I have good news."
"What's going on?"
"I'm pregnant!"
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Congratulations! This is so exciting! When did you find out?"
"This morning!"
"That's awesome."
"I know, I'm so happy! I've always wanted to have kids."
"What about Draco? How did he take the news?"
"At first, he was a bit nervous, he doesn't think that he'll make a very good father. After I reassured
him that I thought he'd make a great father, he was thrilled. He said that he'd always secretly wanted to have
children."
"Well, that's great news! Tell Draco I said Congratulations, and that I totally agree with you, just because
he had a lousy father, doesn't mean he'll be a bad father too. I think he would make a wonderful dad."
"Thanks, I'll tell him, I'm sure he'll appreciate the support. I've got other people to tell, but I'll talk to you later."
"Alright, bye Gin."
"Bye, Hermione."
After she hung up, she went back into the living room.
"Who was it?" Harry asked curiously.
"It was Ginny," Hermione said.
"What did she want?" Harry asked, Hermione had been smiling when she got off the phone, so there must be some good news.
"She just called to tell me something," Hermione began casually.
"And?" Harry asked prompting her gently, but really he was dying with the suspense.
"She's pregnant!" Hermione told him finally, smiling.
There was a slightly stunned silence, until Harry said, "That's great!"
"Yeah, that's what I said. I was hoping that she would get pregnant soon, I know she's always wanted to have a big family.
"I thought she hated growing up in a big family."
"She didn't hate it, sometimes it was a little overwhelming, but she still loved having all her family looking out for her."
"Oh. How's Draco taking it?"
"He's actually really excited about it."
"Really?" This surprised Harry a lot, even though Draco had changed since Hogwarts, he still couldn't picture him as a loving father.
"Yeah, he said that he's always secretly wanted to have a big family. He also told me once that he'd always been jealous of the Weasleys, and that's why he always picked on them. He picked on you because the Weasleys considered you another one of their children, and he always wished that his family was like that," Hermione told Harry.
"Wow, I never knew that. Now I really feel bad about picking on him."
Draco and Ginny were now happily married, and living in Malfoy Manor. It had become Draco's when his parents died a few years ago, after the fall of Voldemort. Their wedding had been small, but elegant. Only the Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione had attended. Ginny had urged Draco to invite some of his Slytherin friends, but he said that there was no one that he'd ever like to see again. Harry and Hermione still hung around with them a lot, and the Weasleys, after the initial shock wore off, welcomed Draco into their family with open arms.
As for Alex and Lindsey, they still kept in touch with Harry and Hermione. Both of them had semi-serious relationships going right now. Lindsey had been going out with the Care for Magical Creatures professor at Beauxbatons for over four months, and Alex had been going out with a woman he worked with for about two months.
All in all, everyone was pretty happy with the way their lives were going.
"Hey Harry?" Hermione said to him suddenly.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"Remind me to thank my mum and dad for making that contract," she replied, smiling contentedly at him, and resting her head on his shoulder.
