After that final scream of hatred in the great hall of Hogwarts, Harry Potter--The Boy Who Lived--had finally gotten rid of Lord Voldemort once and for all. Next to the Dark Lord's crippled body lay the body of Bellatrix Lestrange with an infuriated Molly Weasley standing over it, seething with pure loathing for the now dead woman beneath her.

These were Bill Weasley's first memories from the end of the greatest battle of their time. Seeing how his mother looked, he wasn't sure how he would breach the subject of his sexuality and the fact that he was dating another man. Sure she would be accepting of it, as she was with everything that made her children happy. But he doubted she would be pleased for long when she found out who it was he was dating, and had been secretly dating for years.

After said scream, there was complete silence in the great hall; everyone stopped fighting. Death Eaters, Order Members, and kids old enough stopped and turned to stare at the victorious hero. But Bill's eyes found another shape in the ruin that was the great hall: his lover standing in the middle of the hall holding on to his son as if he was afraid the boy would be torn away from him at any second.

His son--also forgetting their inbred manners--held on to his father in a similar fashion. It was almost heart breaking to watch. Bill remembered the constant worry his lover had for his son during the war times; he had held his lover many times after the other man had woken from a nightmare where his son was murdered, murmuring sweet nothings and reassurances over and over until he felt him fall asleep again.

It was as if his lover sensed he was being watched, for he raised his head from where it bestowed numerous kisses upon his son's head.

When their eyes met, Bill first read such relief, happiness and love that it made him smile widely, for the same emotions were shown in his own eyes.

He was now and would forever be in love with Lucius Malfoy.
