Epilogue

The June sun had yet to get too hot. The back garden had been thoroughly degnomed. The group of muggles were completely fascinated with the Weasley home. A canopy was carefully arranged over a good half of the yard for the vampiric guests to be able to enjoy the early afternoon ceremony.

Children were everywhere. Both sides of "cousins" mixing well. Jesse had been thrilled with seeing the ghoul in the attic. Nic thought a certain blonde boy was rather hot. Ares was properly terrified of the California girl with her short skirt, diva attitude and vicious bluntness. When Jenny Giles decided to give Nic competition for Ares, he ran for Ronni and Lexa and begged them to protect him. Tara and Piper Weasley (Percy and Penelope's youngest) had taken to one another right off the bat and were everywhere with Kenna right behind them.

The chaos was carefully kept to a manageable level by Molly. Loudly barking out orders to her sons about what went where while carrying on three other conversations.

Two week old Lee Thomas, Dean and Ginny's new baby, was passed from one set of arms to another, until the newborn tired of being fussed at and let out a wail that rivaled a banshee's.

"You ready?" Xander asked.

Faith grinned. "Yeah."

"Well, get it right this time cause next time you'll be stuck with the bleached wonder giving you away" Xander teased.

Faith laughed. History had repeated itself...to an extent. Bill had gone with her patrolling in London the night they sent the girls back off to school, a couple drinks afterward had loosened their tongues. This time they got it right. She wasn't going to let him go again.

Severus Snape resigned himself for not retiring for at least another eighteen years when the bride made her appearance, preceded down the aisle by her "bridesmaids". Faith was lovely in a dark cream colored gown... and obviuosly pregnant. He wasn't going to allow a Weasley to destroy Slytherin House, and he'd be surprised if any sibling of the identical menaces would be anything less than a Slytherin.

"Aunt Cordy, this is our favorite teacher, Professor Snape. Professor this is our Aunt, Cordelia Chase Wood." Lexa grinned dragging the woman up to him as guests were mingling about congratulating the happy couple.

"What are you up to?" Snape demanded.

"I'm not up to anything"

"You're breathing and grinning. You're up to something, Weasley." Severus snorted.

The imp had the gall to laugh at him and run off leaving him to make conversation with the incredibly rude and odd muggle woman. There was going to be an appropriate detention for this first day of classes, he had the summer to think of his "revenge"

"We did it" Lexa grinned at her twin as their parents were posing for the last of the pictures Grandma Molly had insisted on before they left.

"That we did" Ronni grinned back.

"Girls, get over her in this picture" Molly called loudly.

The twins raced over, Ronni ducking under Faith's arm and Lexa under Bill's, both grinning like mad when the camera snapped a final picture of the happy family in their wedding finery.
