Epilogue

                                    

                                          
5 years later...
                          
"Papa, guess what!" Teddy said.
                          
"What is it, Ted?" Harry asked, looking up from the letter he'd received.
                          
"Dray took me flying on his broomstick!" Harry raised an eyebrow at Draco, who had just walked in.
                          
"Hey, don't look at me. It was his idea," the blond said, putting his hands up in surrender. Harry rolled his eyes, before going back to reading his letter. "Who's that from?" Draco asked, peering over his shoulder.
                          
"McGonagall. She wants to see me, not sure what for."
                          
"Maybe she just realized how horrible your N.E.W.T. scores were, and she wants you to repeat your seventh year...again." Harry shoved his shoulder, though he was laughing.
                          
"Hey! My N.E.W.T. scores weren't even that bad, I had mostly E's."
                          
"Whatever you say. Come on Teddy, let's go make lunch." 

                          
"Kay, Dray. I want sandwiches," the five year old said, grabbing the ferret's hand.
                          
"Sandwiches it is then," he said laughing as they walked into the kitchen. The two came back out a few minutes later with a plate of sandwiches. Harry eyed them hungrily, but stopped when he saw Teddy. 
                          
"Excuse me, why is his hair blond? Teddy, what did Draco give you this time?" The child opened his hands, revealing a small chocolate bar. Harry sighed, giving Draco an exasperated look. "Alright, you can have the chocolate after you've finished your lunch. And Draco, don't forget Pansy and Hermione are coming over for dinner." Draco looked up from his food.
                          
"Oh, are they?" he said nervously, making Harry sigh.
                          
"What did you do this time?"
                          
"Well, Blaise seemed really set on me coming over tonight, said it was important."
                          
"Just have him come here, if he wants. You know what, I'll invite Ginny and Luna as well. Remember the last time we forgot to invite the two." Both boys shuddered.
                          
"That was the most impressive and scary thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Ginny can be quite frightening when she wants to be."
                          
"She's always frightening." Draco nodded in agreement, and the two went back to their lunch.

Harry stepped out of the floo, using his wand to clean up the mess he'd made.
                          
"You wanted to see me, Headmaster?" McGonagall turned around.
                          
"Yes, take a seat." Harry walked over to the spare chair and sat, feeling awkward sitting there like he had so many times before. "How are you?"
                          
"Uhhh...good?"
                          
"I couldn't help but notice you're currently unemployed. Is there any reason?"
                          
"Well, I tried a few things. Auror wasn't for me, so Charlie invited me to Romania to see if I'd like working with dragons any better. I was there a few months, but I didn't like it any better, maybe even worse. So then I looked into being a healer, but at the time I was looking into adopting my godson, and I didn't have the time. So, once Teddy was adopted, I just decided to focus my life on raising him."
                          
"I see. And, if I'm not mistaken, your fiancè works here as well?" Harry nodded, confused as to where this was going. 
                          
"He does, yes. Why?" She sighed, putting a hand on her forehead and shaking her head.
                          
"I'm offering you a job here, Mr. Potter. There's an opening for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position, and you would be the preferable option."
