Heart of Gold, Heart of Stone (Post-War)

Epilogue

* A Few Years Later *

Athenadora hadn't heard from the Weasleys in almost two years, but for a few years after they did try to contact her. She refused to answer them, since she didn't want them in her and her children's lives. The bigger problem was, they started sending rude, intimidating letters, until she told Bill and Charlie. The letters stopped completely, and she hadn't heard from them since.

Three years ago, Athenadora and Draco had gotten married. Bill, Charlie, George, Theo, and Narcissa were the only ones invited to the wedding, since Athenadora didn't want anyone else there. She didn't feel comfortable with anyone else coming, and Draco completely understood that.

A few months after their wedding, Athenadora found out she was pregnant with her and Draco's baby. A few months into her pregnancy, Athenadora and Draco decided to name Theo as the baby's godfather. Theo was so happy when they asked, that he actually cried, and it was kind of funny to Draco.

A few months later, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy was born, and his family absolutely adored him. He looked so much like his father, and anyone could tell who he was related to. He was a very happy and fun baby, and his brother and sister loved him more than anything in the world.

Anyhow, the day had come for Teddy to go to Hogwarts. He was very nervous about going, since he didn't want to leave his parents. Draco had adopted him and his sister the day he had married their mother. Teddy looked up to Draco, and Draco helped keep Teddy happy and feeling loved.

"Are you sure I have to go?" Teddy asked, as he looked up at his parents worriedly.

"You'll have fun, Teddy, I promise." His mother replied, and he sighed.

Draco kneeled down to Teddy's height, and placed his hands on the boy's shoulders.

"You're going to have a great time at Hogwarts. You'll have fun. You'll make friends, and your mum and I will always be there when you need us. You can write to us every day, and we'll answer every letter you send." Draco said, making Teddy smile nervously.

A moment later, the whistle was heard, letting the students know that they needed to start getting on the train.

"I love you, Teddy." Athenadora murmured, as she leaned forward and placed a kiss on Teddy's head.

"I love you, Mummy," He replied,"and I love you, too." He added, hugging Draco.

"Bye, Teddy." Mona murmured, feeling sad that her brother was leaving.

"Bye, Teddy!" Scorpius exclaimed, as he waved from his grandmother's arms.

Narcissa had been around most of the time, especially after Athenadora and Draco married. She wanted to be around for her grandchildren, and Athenadora truly was thankful for it. Athenadora, Draco, and Narcissa waved to Teddy as he sat down at a compartment window with his pet owl named Moon.

"He'll have a good time, Athena." Narcissa commented, and Athenadora smiled.

"I hope so, but I guess we'll be here if he doesn't." Athenadora replied, making the older woman nod.

"Let's get home," Draco said, as the train pulled away,"You should rest, I know the baby is making you tired."

Athenadora and Draco had found out she was pregnant a few months ago. The couple were excited to be parents once again, and they were keeping the gender a secret. As the family headed back to the area where they apparated from before, Athenadora spotted a few people that were seventh years when she was a first year. They had brought their first years like Athenadora did.

The people didn't seem to really care, but one that had been a serious Gryffindor seen her and scowled. She was married to a person who was associated with the Death Eaters. She had at least four children with him, since she had just dropped one off, and there was one growing inside of her. Honestly, it would've bothered her the way they were looking at her, but she really didn't care.

She was happy with her life. She had even done what she had told Theo she was going to do, meaning she wrote her will like she had planned. The will pretty much said that if anything happened to her or Draco, all the kids would go to Theo or Narcissa. She trusted George, Bill, and Charlie, but if the kids were with them, the other Weasleys would use that to their advantage. Besides, the three Weasley men would most likely have their own families, and Athenadora had the idea that they'd most likely have more than one child, since their family had been so big when they were younger.

In the end, Athenadora had a happy life. She had children she absolutely loved and adored. She had a wonderful husband, a sweet mother-in-law, and good friends. She wasn't struggling financially, and she was able to care for her children like a good mother should.

Athenadora had the life she always wished she had, though she still missed everyone she lost every day. She would always miss them, and there was no changing that, but at least she had a life that would help her come to terms with the deaths a little bit. She was simply glad that she had her children and a family to love her like she had always hoped she would have...
