"...I would like to call our Head Boy to make a speech" Mcgonagall said.
Harry climbed the stairs to reach the podium.

He grew up, he was taller around 6'1, his hair was still messy though.
He was wearing navy blue ceremonial robes, with silver decorations. Even a blind man could see his diamond ring on his left hand. Draco proposed to him during Yule. Sirius, Jane and Remus went with him to Malfoy Manor for the holidays. Sirius reacquainted with Narcissa, his cousin, they didn't talk for 20 years.
He was opening his presents when he found the ring.
He fainted. Draco found it funny, he did not. They were going to get married the 1st September 1998 as it was their anniversary. Narcissa was happy to organise the event and was even happier when Remus proposed to help. Lucius was happy for his son but he demanded a traditional ceremony. Fortunately Sirius cared too much about his godson to say anything about it and Harry was fine as long as he could marry Draco.

The best thing was that Dumbledore had a heart attack when he saw Harry's ring, the first day after the holidays. He caused them many problems during the years.

They passed very difficult moments because of Dumbledore's meddling. Ginny Weasley tried to use a dark potion to make Harry fall in love with her. The potion didn't work as it was brewed badly. Harry spent three weeks at Saint Mungo's for his magic and body to be cleansed.
Ginny was a minor, she was fifteen at the time, so she was expelled from Hogwarts and her wand was snapped. Her mother was imprisoned -for instigating a crime on her daughter. She was the one who gave Ginny the recipe. The book was Dumbledore's though, it was part of his personal library.

Harry was finally healthy and was about to be discharged, he thought that with Ginny gone he could be free to live his life. Ron attacked him, saying that it was Harry's fault if he lost his mother and sister. Harry couldn't defend himself as he didn't have his wand.
He would have been dead if Sirius didn't forget to ask Harry what he wanted for dinner.
Ron was expelled too, but the very moment he became of age he was taken to Azkaban for three years.

Harry made a speech that made people cry and laugh at the same time. He definitely was going to miss Hogwarts but there were many things waiting for him in the future.

Five years later

"I'll catch you James!" Draco said, running behind his four-year-old son.
James Lucius Potter-Malfoy had platinum blond hair and bright green eyes, he looked a mixture of his fathers with a touch of the Black genes.

Harry watched from where he was seated in the garden. His daughter Cassiopea Lilian was playing with his hair. She was one year old and had Draco's hair and eye color, she took everything else from Harry though. Even the messy hair.

"Papa look! Daddy can't catch me! Oop-" James tripped and almost fell but Draco stopped him with a spell.
"Go slower young man" Harry reprimanded.
"Sorry" James said.
"It's fine. Your grandparents are coming to get you today, are you happy?" Draco said.
"YES!" James answered, already thinking about the candies his grandpa Padfoot would give him-
"And no candies, it's grandpa Lucius today" Harry said.

Lucius and Narcissa arrived and took their grandsons to Malfoy Manor.
"So love, what do you want to do?" Draco asked.
Harry sighed. "It's been a while since we last were alone..."
"Let's have some fun..." Draco suggested thinking about a particular activity...
"Let's bake a cake!" Harry exclaimed. He started laughing when he saw Draco's face.

Harry loved his husband and his children and he was grateful for everything that happened to him. They passed many hardships and lived to see their great-grandchildren.
