“Correct. As long as the baby hasn’t gone through a naming ceremony, either one can be used to change his or her heritage to another family’s.”

“Well, why don’t you just adopt twins and use both?”

Draco shrugged off his outer cloak and dropped it into the House Elf’s waiting hands as he entered the Manor. The Masters had kept him late again. He sighed. Harry didn’t like it when he wasn’t there to help tuck the children in. He would have to apologize for the ill- manners of his teachers, yet again.

“Master Draco, Master Harry and the little Master and Mistress are waiting for you in the little Mistress’s room. They is having Master Harry tell them stories while they wait for you.”

Draco thanked the House Elf and strolled towards the room he and Harry had fashioned for the younger twin. She was “Harry’s twin”, and had been made a Malfoy by Harry casting the Hereditary Spell on her, while the older twin was “his twin”, having been made part of the family by the Hereditary Potion that Draco himself had brewed.

The door was open and he paused in the hallway as he realized that Harry was nearing the end of the story. As always, he couldn’t speak more than a sentence without one of them asking a question.

“And Draconis protected Harold with his wings as Harold said the spell to kill the Big- Bad-Wizard.”

“Did he have wings like Father does, Daddy?”

“Yes, exactly like Father does.”

“What happened after the Big-Bad-Wizard was killed, Daddy?”

“Well, Harold and Draconis decided to have a family, of course.”

Draco moved to stand in the doorway. Harry was sitting in the middle of the bed with one child on either side, listening intently to him. Harry looked up at Draco as he entered.

“And did they all live happily ever after, Daddy?”

“They did.” Draco answered, stepping up to the bed to hug and kiss his children good-night. “They all lived happily ever after.”

Seven Years Later:

Headmaster Severus Snape surveyed the hall as Hermione Weasley, Minerva’s replacement as Transfiguration teacher lead the new First Years into the Great Hall for the Sorting. His eyes swept down to one end of the table where Ron was watching his son in the gaggle of First Years. He allowed himself a small smile. From this year on, he wouldn’t have to worry about young children exploding their cauldrons in his dungeons anymore. Casting a glance at the wizard sitting next to him, he wondered how the children would react to their new Potions teacher. He’d seen Draco teach as part of his application to be on the Hogwarts staff and his godson had impressed even him on how strict a teacher he could be.

Next to Draco sat his husband, and the only Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to remain at Hogwarts for more than one year (ten, to be exact, and still counting): Harry Malfoy. Though, Snape thought with a hidden grimace, he would always be “Potter” in his eyes. Harry was watching eagerly for his own two children to be sorted, his hand reaching for Draco’s under the table.

Snape turned his attention back towards the group of students and picked out two very blond children in the crowd. One, a girl, was standing in the front. The other, a boy, was more towards the back hidden behind the other students. But the hair gave them away as the two Malfoy twins that Draco had written of constantly in his letters. Snape looked forward to seeing how they’d grown. He’d not seen them since their naming ceremonies.

“Malfoy, Lily.” Hermione’s voice rang out and the front most blond head moved out of the crowd. Lily Malfoy smiled brightly at her two fathers before she sat down on the chair. She had wavy golden hair, much more gold than platinum; Harry’s eyes, Harry’s smile, Draco’s nose and poise. Everyone waited as the hat was placed upon her head.
