Fawns Heart

{ E P I L O G U E }

{ELEVEN YEARS LATER}

Life was good.

Living the life I was supposed to live, was amazing. 

Astra and Theo had grown up within the blink of an eye, they were so similar in so many ways, yet so different. Theo had my hair and his father's blue eyes, while Astra had Draco's bright blonde hair and my green eyes. They were inseparable, Draco and I felt like every other parent, begging them to stay young forever.

Our two beauties, they grew up in our house, our home, they were protected by Draco and I every second of every day. It broke my heart when they got their acceptance letter from Hogwarts and its new headmistress, Minerva. It hurt in a good way, like the typical mother, I didn't want to see my children leave, I didn't want to say goodbye. I was scared for them. They both received the red eyes, and Draco and I helped them to control the ability to change them. I was scared they would suffer the same bullying I did, but Draco made me see that no one would try to bully them, particularly with the last name they shared.

I often thought back to the day they were born, those months flew by like the autumn breeze. Their names came naturally. No matter what, if there was a boy, he was going to be named Theodore, after the boy who save me on countless occasions. Draco named Astra after the little girl he tried to save, knowing that he would do anything in his power to protect his daughter. It seemed fitting really, Astra; Latin for star. It fit perfectly with the Malfoy tradition, though we only realised that as we brought our babies home.

But they were grown up, they grew up too quickly.

Draco worked alongside Harry and Ron as an Auror for the ministry while I carried out Theo's dream, his hope. I opened a pub. It was a ten-minute walk from home, and it was beautiful. I worked some nights, but mostly just managed everything from home. I made sure it was just how Theo had described it, both free for Muggle and Wizard use, it was perfect. It was everything I knew he wanted, and there was only one name that would suit it.

Theo's

I loved that pub with every breath I had, it was as if he was with me whenever I worked there, as if he was making sure I was alright.

Draco opened the door of our home and welcomed George and Onyx, along with their daughter; Sarah. I was busy upstairs, making sure that Theo and Astra had everything they needed before going to Kingscross. 

"Draco?" I shouted from the kitchen, "Draco? Where's the first year's potion book?" I became frustrated as Theo had misplaced his book, the same tendency his father had. 

I walked through the house from head to toe before entering the living room and seeing George and Onny, I let out a small breath with a smile, "Hey," I went to hug the two. We had been closer than anyone else. We constantly kept in touch with our other friends, having our weekly dinners at the burrow, but George and Onyx kept in contact the most.

"Looking for this?" Draco quirked a brow, holding up the book I was looking for before handing it to Theo.

"Thank you." I breathed, allowing him to wrap his arms around me while I rested my head on his shoulder. The love never died out, it only grew stronger as the days went by. 

George picked Sarah up and placed her on his hip, she was the best mixture of the two, she had Onyx's hair, accompanied by George's freckles and hazel eyes, "Everyone's meeting us there, it's nearly eleven." Onyx said lightly, knowing how hard I was finding everything.

I held on tighter to Draco as Astra and Theo picked up their trunks, eager to go and join the magical world, "Ready?" Draco asked, the twins both nodded eagerly while I groaned out a no into his chest.
