Jade and the Silver Dragon

Epilogue

The day was warm, the large tall trees swaying in the slight wind, the waves lapping at the sandy beach. Harry sat in the shade of the large trees, swaying in the large hammock, his leg hanging over the edge keeping the swing in motion. He looked down at the gold and silver intertwined band on his left ring finger and smiled thinking of the last few years. He smiled as he gazed down at the blondethat cuddled into his side. He gently stroked the bare back, finding that particular ticklish spot that always made him squirm.

"Harry, it's time to put Gabe down for his nap," Draco said as he made his way to them from the house.

"Sure," Harry smiled, leaning down to place a soft kiss on the three-year-old blond boy's head.

"Can't I stay?" Gabriel asked looking at Harry with hope in his green eyes.

"No. You need to have a nap so you're not all cranky when the guests arrive," Harry replied, not giving in to his son.

"Sassy here will tuck you in," Draco said coming over to pull him out of the hammock, getting a quick hug before the house elf led him into the house, the elf being about the same size as Gabe. "Only one story, Sassy," He called back.

"You know Gabe will get more than one story right?" Harry laughed.

"Yes, I know," Draco smiled, looking down at Harry, thinking how tempting he looked in his jean shorts and nothing else.

Harry saw Draco's eyes go to a stormy grey as he looked at him. "Come here, Dragon," He softly said holding out his hand.

"You going to help me up?" Draco grinned as he took the place where their son was moments ago.

"Maybe," Harry replied as his hand automatically stroked the rounded stomach of his husband. "How is the book coming along?"

"Almost done," Draco sighed snuggling closer to Harry's side. Harry had overheard Draco tell a story to their son when he was rocking him one night and suggested that he should write it down, and publish it.

Draco didn't think anything of the idea at first, until they were in a muggle book shop, looking for books to read to Gabe. Draco was not impressed with the majority of them, and decided that he could do better. So... when he returned home that day, he immediately started to write. He was now on his fifth book about a young wizard and his pet dragon, that were very well received in both the wizarding and the muggle world.

"I can't believe we'll be celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary tonight?" Harry sighed as he placed his hand over Draco's on his stomach.

"Five of the happiest years for me," Draco said reaching up to kiss the side of Harry's neck. "I still remember how good you looked in the leather pants that I got you that Christmas. Looked even better when I was peeling them off of you."

"You did too," Harry grinned. "Your mom and Sirius planned a great wedding for us. I can still smell the lilies that they set up around the ceremony."

"Our two year honeymoon was amazing too," Draco said shifting up to kiss the corner of Harry's mouth.

"Until you knocked me up," Harry laughed.

"Regrets?" Draco asked, gliding his hand down Harry's stomach to slip in under the waist of the shorts.

"No," Harry softly said as he reached down to unzip his shorts, Draco taking advantage of that as he wrapped his fingers around the growing hardness. He let Draco stroke him a few more times before he shifted off the hammock to kneel between Draco's legs.

He slowly slid Draco's shorts down, leaning over to kiss the soft swell of his stomach as he began to prepare his husband. "No regrets," He whispered against Draco's lips as he entered him.

Later that day their guests started to arrive, with Gabe greeting them each in turn as they apparated or Flooed in through the giant fireplace in the family room. Narcissa arrived with her brand new husband of two months... a wizard that worked for the Ministry of Magic.

Sirius and Severus came together, married now for two years. Sirius was now training the new Auror recruits, and Severus is still teaching Potions at Hogwarts. His classes are still one of the most challenging, but he is now more patient towards the students, and has even given house points to the Gryffindor house instead of taking them away.

Raiden and Devlin came with their twin girls, who happened to have just turned one this past month. Raiden is now an Auror, while Devlin is another part owner of Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes. They have just recently expanded and opened their sixth location on a neighboring island which caters to holidaying witches and wizards. They are still 'very' close friends with Harry and Draco.

Ron apparated in with his wife of four years, Millicent... another Gryffindor/Slytherin match. Ron is now in charge of the Department of Magical Games and Sports for the Ministry of Magic... a position that was given to him after only two years working in that department. They are expecting their first child in three months time. Millicent is still friends with Harry, Draco, and Pansy, but seems to be the closest to her co-worker Hermione.

Hermione came with her husband of three years... Remus Lupin. That wedding had been the most surprising to most of their friends, as they had kept their relationship to themselves. Hermione and Millicent started up a wizarding school for ages five to ten, specializing in young witches and wizards that have been ostracized in wizarding society, like the young werecreatures, and vampires, to name a few. Many of the young students found their lives easier to cope with, with the acceptance from their peers and mentors, and the potions that Severus created to help them during their difficult times. Remus also helps out at the school, and has also become an author of Defense books that are used throughout the wizarding schools, with Harry Potter-Malfoy as co-author.

Throughout the afternoon many other guests began to appear. Most of the Weasley clan came with their numerous offspring, who had collected the other children and made their way to the beach. Pansy soon followed, Flooing through the fireplace, immediately hugging Draco and placing her hand over his stomach, hoping to be able to feel the baby move again. She's very eager for this child to be born as she was asked to be it's godmother. She now owns a muggle tea house in London that specializes in exotic flavours, and is still looking for Mister Right.

Also appearing were several of the professors from Hogwarts that Harry had just bid farewell to for the summer just two weeks ago. Harry had proved to many that the Defense Against the Dark Arts post was not jinxed, and just finished his third consecutive year teaching. After Harry and Draco's extended honeymoon, and Harry's successful attempt at becoming pregnant, they decided to come back. Harry loved being a professor, but when he saw the students leave on the final carriage, he sighed in relief and made his way to the beach house where his family was waiting for him.

Harry winded his way through their many friends, stopping as they each wanted to have a word or two with him. His goal... to reach his husband who was looking at him across the deck, the loving, warm gaze making his heart swell with happiness. After several minutes, he finally was able to wrap his arms around Draco's back, hugging him close. "I love you, My Silver Dragon," he softly said kissing the corner of Draco's mouth.

"I love you too, Jade," Draco replied bringing his one hand up to cup the side of Harry's face as he leaned in for a kiss. He smiled against Harry's lips as his other hand went around Harry's back... his finger about to press a button on a familiar control.
