I do not own Harry Potter, or its characters. This is merely a work of fanfiction.

Thank you for sticking with me through this story. It has only become what it is because of your encouragement and love! I never would have made it this far with this story otherwise. I will be taking a writing break after posting this. I'm not sure for how long. It could be a couple weeks, or a couple months. I will still be active on IG at "Fanon.Star" and Tiktok. I have just been very overwhelmed lately and need a chance to clear my head.

This epilogue skips around in time quite a lot, though it is linear. If there is something not explained that you would like, please let me know. I will attempt to cover some things in "The Dragon's Treasure Outtakes". I am going to attach a cheat sheet for the children and their soulmates as an extra chapter, because there are a ton of kids.

Regulus and Bill left the comfort of Slytherin Cottage, and strode out into the forest. Bill walked beside him, as they weaved their way through the forest. They had come to France as soon as Draco's graduation was over. Regulus was eager to see his godson.

"Do you think he'll mind that I came with you?" Bill asked.

"No, of course not. They love you."

They pushed on through the forest, finally coming to the edge of the Pack's wards. Remus and Teddy were waiting for them. As soon as Remus let them through the wards Teddy threw himself into Regulus' arms.

"How is my godson?" Regulus asked with a smile.

"Very well," Teddy signed. "Did you bring me anything?"

"That's very rude Teddy," Remus chastised.

Regulus laughed indulgently, bouncing Teddy in his arms. "Oh, that's alright. I brought you many presents, of course, along with Victoire. We can't leave her out. That would be the height of rudeness!"

Teddy beamed up at his godfather, and turned to reach for Bill. Bill took him with a tentative smile. Teddy quickly climbed his way up onto Bill's shoulders. Remus shook his head at Teddy's antics.

"Sorry, Bill. There's no controlling him."

"It's alright. I don't mind. I was the oldest. I'm used to it."

"Ah yes, of course."

Remus led them back towards the center of the Pack's camp. Regulus noted Remus seemed to hold himself taller now. His shoulders seemed broader as he walked from through the clearing at the center of camp. As pack members passed they nodded at Remus in greeting. Children smiled at him, and one particularly pretty brunette blushed as Remus passed her.

Regulus and Bill followed Remus into a tent with smoke coming out of a chimney in the back. Bill sat Teddy back on his feet, and took a seat on the large floor pillows that Remus motioned to.

"So where's Fenrir, and Victoire?" Regulus asked, looking around the tent.

"Victoire's in Paris with her father," Teddy pouted.

"And Fenrir is leading a hunting party," Remus told them. "There's no slowing him down, even if he has stepped down as Alpha."

"Teddy!" A voice called from the entrance to the tent. A group of boys stood there with bright smiles. "Want to play?"

"Can I dad?"

"Go ahead," Remus laughed. "Be back by noon. We'll all have lunch together."

Regulus watched him go with a fond smile. As the boys left the center of the camp, Regulus turned his gaze back on Remus, who was fixing a cup of tea.

"So almighty Alpha, tell me, who was that pretty brunette that you made blush with your mere presence?"

Remus startled and knocked over his cup of tea. Bill waved his wand to clear it up, and worked to get another pot of tea going while his husband interrogated his old friend.

"Anastasia is just a friend. She came to live with the pack about a year ago."

Regulus bumped Remus' shoulder affectionately. "Anastasia blushed three shades of pink because you simply walked past her. She's incredibly pretty. You can't tell me you haven't thought about it."

Remus rubbed the back of his neck in exasperation.

"I guess I have. Maybe a little. But Sirius-"

"-would want you to be happy," Regulus finished. "He really, really would. Maybe not at first. We both know he was dramatic. But now? After all these years? You deserve a little happiness."

Remus looked out the entrance to the tent as Bill handed him another cup of tea. He looked at his friend, his brother for all intents and purposes. Perhaps he had a point.

"I'll think about it."

<><><><><><><><><><><>

"Marcus is driving me crazy," Pansy whined.

Holly laughed and handed her friend another cold water bottle. "He's just worried about you, Pans."

Pansy shifted again, uncomfortable with her large belly. Finally she gave up and sipped on her water bottle. "If he could be less annoying while he worried, that would be great. I'm just glad Draco convinced him to leave me alone for a few minutes."

Holly sat down across from Pansy, enjoying the momentary silence. Draco, Marcus, and the other dads had taken the children down to the Quidditch pitch to play until they tuckered themselves out.

"He is rather excessive," Luna noted with amusement.

"You can say that again," Pansy confirmed.

Marcus had taken to hovering protectively everywhere they went, and it was driving her crazy.

"Your daughter will be here soon, and then he can obsess over her," Holly comforted. Pansy sighed and closed her eyes to rest.

<><><><><><><><><><><>

Regulus smiled as he read the letter in his hands. Aurora and Cassiopeia were toddling around the room after Bill, who was walking backwards, as he blew bubbles from his wand.

"What's the letter say?" Bill asked.

"Remus has bonded with Anastasia, and she's already expecting! Isn't that wonderful?"

A sharp sting of pain seared Bill's heart as he tried to focus on walking backwards. It was lovely to spend time with the girls, but they always had to leave. They weren't his children, and everyday he was more sure that he wanted a chance to raise a child, even if they weren't biologically his. Regulus' face softened as he saw the hurt in Bill's eyes.

"I'm sorry love."

"No, it's okay. I'm happy for them both. Really."

Regulus watched as the girls toddled after Bill, with concern in his eyes.

Marcus came out of the St. Mungo's room, a bundle of pink in his arm. He made eye contact with Draco. Sirius was sleeping against his chest, snoring softly. Holly perked up, handing Lyra and Scorpius to Vince and Greg.

"Is everything okay?" Holly asked at the dumbfounded look on his face.

"Everything's great, but I have to tell you something."

Holly panicked, looking past him towards the room. "Is it Pansy? Tell me what happened!"

Marcus shook his head, "No, Hols. She's just tired. It's...it's Hyacinth. She has the constellation Sirius on her chest."

Draco stood up, bringing Sirius with him. He came to look down at the little girl in Marcus' arms. She had a tuft of black hair and Marcus' tan skin tone. She slept soundly without a worry in the world.

"I guess you're not getting rid of me," Holly teased.

"It seems that way."

<><><><><><><><><><><>

Holly watched the parents of the graduating class walk towards Hogsmeade, and sighed. Graduation seemed to drag this year, though Ginny and Primrose looked radiant in their graduation gowns. Ginny came to her side and laid her head on her shoulder.

"How are you doing, sissy?" Ginny asked.

"Oh, I'm fine. Just a bit tired. We've been working on our potion every spare moment we get, and with the triplets, it's just a lot. Even with Cissa's help."

"You work yourself too hard."

Holly sighed, "I know. You're right. This potion just feels so important. Everytime I think about taking a break, I see Blaise and Theo in my mind, and a little baby that looks like both of them. They deserve to have that choice."

Hermione approached Holly and laced her arm through Holly's. "The kids are with our parents again. We deserve a day off."

Holly tilted her head this way and that, thinking of all the progress they could make if they returned to the Potions lab. Her resolve was lessened by the sight of Draco loosening his tie, and unbuttoning the top two buttons of his shirt. Hermione laughed as she bumped hips with her friend.

"We can go swimming, and you can ogle your husband, without the sound of screeching triplets." Ginny teased. Draco smirked at Holly and she felt butterflies take flight in her stomach.

"Okay, maybe a little break won't hurt."

<><><><><><><><><><><>

"I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant. Again. With twins. Sweet Merlin."

Holly put her hands over her stomach and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Draco set his chin on her shoulder, and put his arms around her shoulders.

"Are you okay?"

She nodded, "I'm a bit surprised. I might have chosen to wait a bit longer, but I'm happy. How could I not be? I always wanted a big family."

She turned to look up at him, and placed a gentle hand on his face. "Are you alright, Draco? I know it's a lot for you too."

Draco smiled softly, "I could never be upset at this. A few years of sleep deprivation are worth all the smiles, and the love. There's nothing better than coming home to all of you."

Holly looked around at their quarters. They had been outgrowing them every day. The triplets were getting bigger, and as they began to crawl, they wanted more space to do so.

"I think we have to leave Hogwarts," Holly said sadly. "The triplets need more room."

"Malfoy Manor or Potter Manor?" Draco asked.

Holly's heart felt light at his question. He was willing to leave his family home for her, for their children, if that's what she wanted.

"Malfoy Manor, love. Cissa is with the babies most days anyways, and there's plenty of room for all the children. One day Potter Manor will belong to them."

<><><><><><><><><><><>

Holly swallowed against her nerves, and looked across the Potions desk at Hermione.

"I have to tell you something."

Hermione set down her quill and looked at Holly. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong, per se. I'm pregnant."

Hermione beamed for a second, but paused at the look on Holly's face. Her features shifted as she quickly began to understand. "You're leaving Hogwarts, aren't you?"

"I think we have to. They're twins, and we already have the triplets in those quarters. It just makes more sense to go back to Malfoy Manor. There's a Potions lab on the grounds. It hasn't been used in a few decades, but that just means get to renovate it however we like. What do you think?"

Hermione sighed, "Honestly I've been thinking it might be time for us to leave too. Luna's been talking about her and Cedric moving to London while he works on creature rights legislation. I just can't imagine being here without them. Besides, I think we'd like to try for another baby while the twins are still young, so they'll all grow up together."

Holly nodded along as she listened.

"Do you think Ginny and Neville will leave?" Hermione asked.

"I think Ginny will go wherever I go, at least until they have children. There's more than enough room for them at Malfoy Manor, or Longbottom Manor."

Hermione looked around their workspace. They were at a point where they could easily move their work, so it was the perfect time to relocate.

"Time to go home," Hermione mused.

"Time to go home."

<><><><><><><><><><><>

Pansy sat down Hyacinth, who immediately rolled onto her stomach and began to gnaw on a teething toy laid out in front of her.

"How are you feeling today, Hols?"

"Not too bad, actually. The morning sickness is almost completely gone. This pregnancy feels so much easier. I don't know if it's because there's one less baby, or because I know what to expect."

"Both probably," Marcus noted as he watched Sirius crawl towards Hyacinth, pulling a stuffed snitch with him, to show her. Scorpius and Lyra were babbling happily as they swatted at bubbles that Mipsy had blown for them.

"Did you get your test vials sent out yesterday?" Pansy asked.

"Yeah, Hermione and I got them sent out after you guys left. Lucius and Draco took the babies out to the Quidditch Pitch. I can't believe he thinks I don't know about the toddler brooms."

"You know about that?" Marcus asked with surprise.

Holly and Pansy laughed conspiratorially.

"Oh, I know about everything."

<><><><><><><><><><><>

Draco and Holly watched as the kids toddled around the nursery. Hermione and Zach were having a date night, and they had offered to watch the twins. Really, what were two more babies at this point?

"Mistress?" Trixie asked from the doorway.

Holly turned at her cautious tone to see Remus standing behind her. Teddy ran into the room, and plopped himself down amongst the babies. A small woman with pretty brown hair stood behind him with a baby in her arms. Holly rushed over while Draco kept his eyes on the babies.

"Are you well?" Holly asked.

The baby Anastasia held was small, with a crop of brown curls. She must have come early. She wasn't expecting them to come for Yule at all.

"We're okay," Remus assured her, "but we had to come see you. I hope you don't mind the intrusion."

"Of course not," Holly assured him, making sure to smile kindly at Anastasia. "You're always welcome in any of our homes, but what's happened? Does the baby need medical attention? Are you okay Ana? I can call Healer Tonks."

Anastasia shook her head as she and Remus laughed. "No, we're quite well. I promise. Selene has the constellation Scorpius on her chest."

Holly felt her heart speed up. She felt a tug on the hem of her dress and looked down to see Scorpius pulling on her skirts. Anastasia brought Selene over as Holly picked up Scorpius. It was a little difficult with her pregnant belly, but she managed.

Scorpius looked over at Selene intensely as if he was trying to memorize her face. He puckered his little lips and leaned forward to peck Selene on the forehead. Holly and Anastasia giggled as Remus shook his head.

"Well obviously you have to stay for Yule," Draco called from his position on the floor. "We have to celebrate, and let the kids have some time together."

Anastasia sat down near Draco so that the children could see Selene better. Scorpius sat next to her, scowling at anyone that dared to try to put a finger in Selene's face, or disturb her slumber.

"Will the pack come back now?" Draco asked.

"It seems so," Anastasia replied. "Victoire will live with Fleur and Dora until she starts Hogwarts, so she and Teddy can be together more often. Her father is always working, and she honestly prefers Fleur to her mother."

"That's because her parents are boring," Teddy signed.

"That's not very kind," Remus chastised.

"They're not kind," Teddy volleyed. "They care more about stupid dress robes and politics than Victoire. It's grosse. You don't treat us like that, and you're Alpha."

Remus let out a deep breath as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Teddy laughed and returned his attention to the other kids.

"He's not technically wrong," Remus whispered. "They're not terrible, but they're not great. She's much happier with Fleur and Dora."

"Well then it's a good thing this all happened."

<><><><><><><><><><><>

Fleur rapped on the door of Grimmauld Place. She adjusted the child in her arms, and tucked his blanket closer around him. Bill opened the door, and ushered her inside. The December air was frigid. It was absolutely no state for a child to be out in. Kreacher fetched Regulus.

"What's going on?" Regulus asked as he entered the living room. Fleur turned, and Regulus froze at the sight of the baby in her arms. He looked at Bill, who was suspended in a state of cautious hope. "A child?"

Fleur nodded, "He's only a few months old. I'd rather not talk about his family in front of him, even though he's young. It was not good. We had to obliviate them. There was no way we could leave him there. Are you still interested in adoption?"

Regulus nodded as he walked towards Fleur and Bill. The boy was small, like Luna had been. He had red hair like Bill, and blue eyes.

"Can I hold him?" Bill asked softly.

"Of course."

Fleur handed him over, and was surprised at how gently the former Curse Breaker held the little boy, as if he was the most precious thing in the entire world. He looked at him like he was a gift from Mother Magic herself, which she supposed he was.

The baby wrapped one tiny hand around Bill's thumb and snuggled closer to him. Bill looked up at Regulus with tears in his eyes. He hated that this baby had no doubt been through something terrible. It was simply unconscionable that someone had tried to hurt this sweet boy.

"What do we need to do?" Regulus asked Fleur.

"If you're sure, I'll file the paperwork when I return to the Ministry. You'll have a probationary period of one year, in which we will check on you to make sure the child is being cared for properly. At the end of that year, if it is a good fit, and the child is being cared for, then you will be allowed to do a blood adoption ritual, and the child will be yours."

"We're sure," Regulus and Bill chorused.

Fleur smiled, "I thought you might be. I'll leave the report on his family with you, so you know what happened. Is there anything you need help with before I leave?"

Bill bounced the boy in his arms as Regulus quickly began to think.

"No, knowing Luna, she'll be by any minute with Cedric and the twins."

"Very well. I'll see you soon."

<><><><><><><><><><><>

Luna appeared not ten minutes later with her arms laden down with several shopping bags. Cedric carried the twins behind her with a bright smile.

"Congratulations!" He chimed as he entered Grimmauld Place and led the way to the sitting room. They toddled over towards Bill, who was sitting in a chair, holding the sleeping baby in his arms.

"What's his name?" Luna asked in a whisper.

"His file says his name is Albert."

"You sound unsure Papa," Luna mused with amusement.

"It's not a very magical name, is it? Alphard is much better, and he can still be called Al. Alphard always was my favorite Uncle."

Luna giggled as she wrapped her arms around her Papa to give him a hug. "You should rewrite your will to include him, Papa."

Lord Black looked down at her, "Really? Aren't you supposed to be territorial?"
