A/N - All characters belong to the wonderful JK Rowling. I just borrowed them for a bit to play with them. I promise to put them back soon!
EPILOGUE
Hermione sat on a blanket under the shadow of a tree and watched Emily and Harry playing close by. She was barely three and as full of energy as her father. They were running around in circles, chasing each other around and laughing merrily. She ran a protective hand over her softly rounded stomach and smiled. They were expecting a boy this time around and they could not be happier.
They had been married for five years and their love just kept on growing stronger. Since she had found out she was pregnant again, they had moved into a bigger home. She had left St. Mungo's to open her own private office and Harry had been promoted to the Head of the Aurors Department. Her book had been published and after it became an instant bestseller, she had written another one. She was in the process of researching a third one.
Ginny and Neville had married as well and they were expecting their firstborn any day now. Neville had opened several more stores and Ginny was now helping him run his little empire.
Ron had finally won Luna's heart back, but it had taken him a good year and a half. She had not been convinced easily and he had to move heaven and earth to prove to her his undying love.
The twins were still two of the most sought after bachelors and their business had made them both very rich men, which added to their attraction.
Time had healed all wounds and their friendships had been able to endure the test of time and come out on top.
She saw Harry and Emily coming her way and she smiled. Her heart was so full of joy sometimes she felt as if it would explode with happiness.
Harry lay down close to her and kissed her belly. Their baby kicked back in response and she laughed. Emily repeated her father's actions and the baby kicked again.
"I love you," Emily whispered against her belly and Hermione felt a wonderful warmth spread around her middle. Her son recognized his sister's voice already!
"He loves you, too, princess," she told her little girl and kissed the top of her head softly.
"I know, mummy. He told me."
Harry and Hermione exchanged glances and smiled. Hermione leaned a bit down and placed a tender kiss on Harry's lips.
"And I love you guys with all of my heart!" she told them smiling.
"Me, too. Forever!" Harry said
Emily smiled at both of them and decided to play with her doll close by.
Harry looked at her and then at Hermione. "How did we get so lucky, love?"
"After so much heartache and loss, it was due. The heavens were finally smiling down on us."
"I guess you're right, baby. This was meant to be and I couldn't be more grateful!"
