33. The Epilogue

Draco gulped and tightened his grip on Hermione's hand as they walked towards the two graves. Hermione's body trembled as she read the names on the gravestones.

Jean Marie Granger

Richards Granger

"Hello nana and pop pop.", 3 year old Gemini kneeled beside the grave.

" It's rude to say pop pop!", 5 year old Rose scolded her little brother.

Gemini was about to retort when he caught his father's icy glare. He huffed in annoyance and lowered his head.

Hermione just stared at the two graves. She couldn't believe it. Up until this day, she couldn't. How could they be so deep under the ground ? Not breathing. Dead? How ? Why ? She knelt beside her father's grave and touched the gravestone lightly. She then did the same to her mother's and sniffed as she fought back tears. She then felt two small arms wrap around herself and she smiled in spite of herself.

" It's alright mama. Nana and pop pop are in heaven.", Gemini smiled at her. He was a spitting image of Draco, except for the fact that he was an extremely emotional child. Hermione kissed his forehead and sighed.

" I know sweetheart. "

Draco squeezed her shoulder lightly and she looked up to meet his worried eyes. She smiled up at him and relief washed over his features. The baby in his lap stirred and Hermione got up grabbing Rose and Gemini's hands. " Say goodbye to nana and pop pop.", she whispered.

Rose tutted at her mother's use of 'pop pop' but didn't say anything.

They all left after saying their goodbyes,  leaving Draco and the baby alone.

" Thank you. ", he whispered before turning around and leaving.

*********

" It's time to go to Grandma and Lucy!"

"No! It's Cissa and grandpa!", Rose countered.

Hermione shook her head at them and turned to Draco.

" Quite a heavy sleeper she is.", Draco sighed as he adjusted the baby in his arms.

" I wonder where she gets that from.", Hermione teased.

Draco rolled his eyes at her playfully.

Just then the baby stirred and opened her bright blue eyes.

" Good morning Lyra Granger Malfoy! Finally time for you to wake up eh ?", Draco said sarcastically and kissed her chubby cheeks.

1.5 year old Lyra smiled up at her father. " Mornee ?", she yawned.

" Yes darling morning. Although it's afternoon."

" She doesn't understand you much, Draco. She's only a baby.", she took Lyra from Draco and cradled her in her arms.

" And I want her to remain a baby. I mean look at them. Weren't they just born ?", he said while motioning towards Rose and Gemini arguing.

Hermione smiled as flashback after flashback hit her.

" Yes.", she managed.

*******

" Lucy! She called you grandpa!"

"Cissa! He called you grandma!"

Rose and Gemini yelled as they ran towards their grandparents.

" Oh dear.", Narcissa laughed.

"I'm home Daph.", Neville announced as he entered their flat.

Daphne emerged from the bedroom wearing nothing but a bathrobe.
