Juliet

Epilogue

Juliet was sat on the old, battered couch and was watching the snow fall. Her heart thundered rapidly as she breathed in the sweet smell of ginger cookies and hot cocoa. Christmas music floated in from the living room, which was full of friends and family.

Sirius opened the door to the small tea room and sighed when he saw Juliet moping, "What's wrong Juls? You've been sulking all night."

"Nothing," she murmured, her eyes never leaving the captivating snow flakes.

Sirius snorted and sat on the other side of the couch, "We lived together for almost three years. I know when something is bothering you."

"If I tell you, you have to promise not to tell anyone."

"I swear!"

Later, Sirius walked into the living room with a solemn look on his face. He swallowed hard and tapped Draco on the shoulder. He gulped and pointed to the door of the tea room.

"Juliet wants to speak to you," he said shakily.

"Do you know what it's about?"

Sirius shook his head, "No," he lied, "she just said she needed you."

Draco immediately ran into the tea room and slammed the door behind him. He kneeled on the floor in front of the distraught Juliet.

"What happened, Juli?" his voice was laced with panic, "Are you hurt?"

"Not hurt," Juliet said, "Just... I don't know. I just really needed to talk to you."

"You can tell me anything," he grasped one of her hands in his, leaned forward and kissed her forehead gently, "I promise I'll do anything for you."

In the other room, Andromeda was talking with Sirius and Narcissa, "Is everything alright?"

"Fine," Sirius said nonchalantly and shrugged, "I think the holidays were just getting her a bit down. Draco went to cheer her up a bit though."

Narcissa nodded, "He's good at that. If anyone can cheer her up, it'll be him."

Right on cue, Juliet and Draco walked out with matching soft smiles. Juliet was feeling much better and participated in the party like her old self.

She danced with Ron, she reminded him that he didn't at the Yule Ball and owed her one dance at least. She sat on the floor laughing with Ginny and they ate so much chocolate that Ginny claimed she was made out of it.

Juliet talked with Hermione, Luna and Neville. She listened intently to Luna's travels and all the plant properties that Neville could recite by heart. Hermione bore them all with facts that were only interesting to her.

Finally, once everyone had collapsed on the floor or couches in exhaustion, she escaped to the kitchen. She leant against the counter and sighed, rubbing her tired eyes with her hands.

Harry walked in, a tired grin on his face. He placed his hands on either side of her and nuzzled his nose against hers, "I missed you. I haven't really seen you all evening."

"I wanted to talk to all our friends and family. We haven't seen them in months."

"I suppose," he hummed, "I did spend most of the time with my parents."

"Exactly," she giggled, "We'll be back at Hogwarts again until June."

Harry kissed her cheek and lingered for a moment, "I did notice you left for some time."

"I needed a minute."

Harry cupped her face with his hands and kissed her lips gently, "Anything I should be worried about?"

Juliet gulped, "Maybe."

"What's wrong?" he frowned.

"You'll love me no matter what, right?"

"I loved you when you killed your father. I loved you when we were apart for two years. I loved you when we got married and I'll love you forever," Harry winked at her, "so yes."

Juliet took in a deep breath and smiled wide, feeling the happiest she ever felt when she announced, "Harry, I'm pregnant."

The End.

A/N
Juliet and I talked and we've agreed it's time to part ways. I've had a lot of fun creating and developing her and inserting her into my favourite world with my favourite characters. She's ready to move on with her life now as I am ready to make new stories.

I hope you enjoyed the sequel as much as I loved writing it. It wasn't something I was going to do until someone had asked for it, so thank you.

I love all my wonderful readers <3
