A Rose's Thorn

Epilogue

This is the end my beautiful readers. It has taken me a bit longer to get this update out because I'm in a state of "Why Is It The End!" But I hope the ending is as satisfactory as both books were. Please check out my other books. Lots of Love.

"Dad?"

"Yes James?"

"Tell me again why you chose me of all people. I'm not half as talented or smart as the other kids. I mean I'm just a..." James started

"James Malfoy-Potter don't finish that sentence."

"Dray what on earth is going on?"

Draco frowned. "Talk to your son Harry he's having a crisis of some sort and I have to deliver these to the hospital for someone."

Harry shrugged and kissed Draco's cheek. "Okay. Be safe. James come here please."

"Yes father." James sat down next to Harry.

"I know Draco would only yell at you if you were going to say freak." Harry said.

"Well I am." James protested.

"James I used to think the same thing. I was raised by a muggle family and..."

Harry and James sat a spoke. Mostly Harry. He told James the story of his life. Everything that happened with his supposed "bestfriend". At some point James laid down with his head in Harry's lap. He asked questions about things he didn't quite understand. It had taken them a good half hour to get through it all. Neither had noticed Draco's return. When Harry was done he looked at James.

"So you see that's why..." Harry begun.

"I will never allow you to call yourself a freak." Draco said from the door.

James jumped up surprised. "Dad. You scared me."

Draco smiled. "Sorry. James do you understand that you are not a freak. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. We chose to adopt you because we saw the best in you."

James smiled. "Can we go visit Aunt Pansy? I do still need robes for Hogwarts this year."

Draco and Harry looked at each other and shrugged. They went to the floo and, one by one, left the house. When Pansy heard the floo fired up she smiled as she pinned the last bit of a dress.

"Hey boss!" She cried out.

Harry groaned. "Pansy for the umpteenth time stop calling me boss."

"Mr. Potter it's been a while."

Harry raised his eyebrow at the customer. When he scanned her face the dots connected. He smiled and nodded. Then looked at the dress.

"Indeed, it's Malfoy-Potter now. Another wedding?" Harry smiled.

"So you tied the knot with that boyfriend of yours? Yes my own wedding this time."

"Yes I did. This is him, Draco." Harry gestured to Draco. "And our kid James."

"Oh such a darling. You look quite the happy couple."

"That's what I keep saying." Pansy chimed. "Is James here for new clothes?"

"He asked to visit." Draco said.

"Daddy?!"

"Hey baby girl what's wrong?"

"I'm hungry."

A chuckle sounded. "What would you like?"
