Chapter Twenty Six

I woke up hearing Pansy, Blaise, Hermione, Luna, and Enzo laughing. When I turned to the window, the sky was black with shimmering stars and moonlight showing. I checked the clock and the time read '8:13'. I slept the day away but I won't complain. The throbbing headache went away, and I think everyone else's did too.


As I sat up, Enzo turned his head to kiss my cheek softly. I was still in a bit of a daze when someone set a plate of food on my lap and without question, I began to eat. I could feel myself falling asleep, my head dropping a bit, but I was brought back when everyone started laughing.


"Y/n, you okay?" Blaise snorted, causing everyone to laugh even more.


"Yes, just a tired bit-" I say while peering up at him with my eyes half closed.


"Just a tired bit? That makes no sense." Enzo mocked me. They knew what I meant. I rolled my eyes as a response and continued to eat, almost fully awake this time.


After I finished, I took a few sips of water and stood up. I was a bit dizzy, but that went away after a few seconds. Yawn. Stretch. Step. I walked over to the bassinet in the corner of the room, wanting to hold and feed Aurora.


When I picked her up, an awful smell filled my senses.


"Luna, her diaper is spoiled. When was she last changed, this stinks horribly." I speak with a raspy voice. I don't feel as tired since Aurora's disgusting diaper woke me up, but my back hurts a little.


"I just changed her no more than thirty minutes ago." Enzo speaks loudly from across the room. She must have an upset stomach or something. Maybe not.


I gathered wipes and a diaper, and walked over to Enzo's bed, taking a seat in the middle, and laying Aurora down.


Once I finished changing her, I was brought a warm bottle by Blaise. I didn't know he could make a bottle.


"Since when did you learn how to make a bottle, Blaise?"


"Luna taught me like an hour ago." He replied to my question, seeming so full of himself. It was quite funny.


"Merlin, I know I just had her but I want another baby, but not actually mine. When are you all gonna have some babies?" I ask all my friends.


"Well we can't have kids and we haven't talked about it yet, so I have no idea." Pansy says, referring to herself and Hermione. Fair enough.


"Believe me, I'm trying but it's impossible." Blaise says while looking at Luna and then back to me.


"I'm on the pill, and I want to at least finish school before I have a baby." Luna says with no expression, and that's actually smart. I should've had a mindset like her but I didn't and I'm a bit glad for that. I needed Aurora.


"I'm waiting for you." Enzo says confidently. Boldly.


"I don't know.. Maybe in five to ten years I– we can have one."


"I don't think I can wait that long." He says with furrowed brows.


I roll my eyes in annoyance with a smile on my face. We aren't even together, and he wants me to have his kids. I am unable to process the fact that we may end up together in the near future. We may have a kid together, even though he treats Aurora like his, it's not exactly the same. It's all shocking.


I hope I end up with him.


I was taken from my thoughts when I heard a knock at the door. I heard a familiar voice on the other side as Hermione opened the door and talked to the girl behind it.


"Y/n, it's for you." Hermione squealed as she shut the door slightly. I stood up, handed Aurora to Enzo, and began walking to the door. When I stepped into the hall, I saw Alice, very nervous and apologetic.


"I am really sorry for what I said yesterday. Please forgive me!" The girl begs in a whisper.


"I have no idea what you are talking about..." I say truthfully, I don't remember anything from after Enzo lit the preroll last night. Anything after that was a blur or just non existent.


"Thank god. I came off like a bitch and I lied about my house. I'm actually a Slytherin. I've seen you walking around the common room, and I've seen your friends around the castle with your baby. And about this morning, I am in a pretty serious relationship with Arlo, and I was flirting with your boyfriend yesterday but it meant nothing to me. It was a drunken mistake, I am so sorry. Please don't tell him. I promise I will make it up to you." She continues to beg me. I do feel kinda bad and I honestly don't remember much from this morning either.


"Of course. It was harmless, you are all good." I smiled at her, she really was sorry, but I will still keep an eye out for her.


She smiles at me, nods, and walks away. Before I open the door to get back in the room, I hear another door opening. It was Mattheos. I turn to look at what's going on, and I see Lola exiting his room, but she turns around to kiss him. Who knew?


I don't even care to be honest, so I just walk back in the room. I take my seat back on the bed and grab my daughter back. As I held her, I looked into her eyes, completely mesmerized. She's beautiful, and I just can't imagine life without her.

Before I could finish, I heard my name being called.


"Y/n."


"Y/n."


"Mum!"


I heard my husband speak in the distance, but Aurora's voice brought me back to reality. I looked up to see my daughter and husband standing in front of me.


"Hm?" I mumbled while I blinked my eyes rapidly, they were a little dry.


"Aunt Luna said that breakfast is ready, and everyone is already at the table, quit reading those books and hurry up so we can start our day!" Aurora spoke to me with a sassy tone. She gets it from me.


"I will be there in a minute honey, go on." I say to her, lightly swooshing her out the door.


Once she was gone, Enzo looked at me.


"Are those your journals from Hogwarts?" He asked me while looking down on me. I nod in response as I close the last one. I finished the third and last journal fourteen years ago, when Aurora was only two weeks old. Oh how the years fly.


"I didn't know that you wrote in some of them, I never re-read them until today." I spoke to him softly.


"Yeah, I also needed to write some things down every once in a while." He replied. I put the journals back into a small box, and then slide that box behind a fake stack of books. My kids know nothing about my past and I don't want my children to see these journals, not ever.


Children, yes. I have Aurora Berkshire, my oldest, fourteen, Slytherin.


Ian Berkshire, my only son, he's twelve but basically thirteen since his birthday is next month. He's also a Slytherin.


My second daughter Juliet Berkshire, she's ten, a Gryffindor surprisingly. She definitely is Hermione's kid, just kidding.


And lastly, my third daughter, Ophelia Berkshire, she's only five. She's definitely her father's favorite. He gives her whatever she wants, it's so bad. She resembles her father a lot. His brown curls, his brown eyes, and his lips. Everything else is from me, personality included.


She isn't technically the last. I'm currently pregnant with my fifth and hopefully last baby. I don't know the gender yet, we are waiting until birth to find out, but we have two names picked out.


I'm brought out of my trance when I appear in the dining room. The table is extremely large, since my family is also large.


Although I wanted to wait a long time for more kids, Enzo and I got married almost immediately after we left Hogwarts and we had our kids not even two years apart each. The biggest age difference is Ophelia and this new baby. I can't wait for these next three months to fly so I can meet him or her.


I take my seat at the head of the table, looking down on all my friends and their kids, my husband, and our kids. Hermione and Pansy are married. They adopted twins, a boy and a girl.


Ryan Parkinson is twelve years old, a Slytherin, and he is best friends with Ian.


Serena Parkinson is also twelve and is a Gryffindor, her and Juilet are practically inseparable.


Blaise and Luna had three children. All boys. Poor Luna. Carson Zabini is her oldest. He's fourteen, Ravenclaw. She was actually pregnant when Aurora was all but six weeks old, the pill clearly didn't work.


Kai Zabini is her second son, twelve, Slytherin. He is Blaise' twin, meanwhile the other two boys resemble their mother.


Jace Zabini, he's the baby, he's only two years old, such a cutie. He has his mothers beautiful blonde waves and her bright blue eyes. He is her twin one hundred percent.


Arlo and Alice have become like family as well. Arlo and Alice have one child. A daughter, her name is Kassidy Rosier, or as we call her, Kas. She's seven, and such a sweetheart. She has brown eyes, brown curly hair, and her mum's face completely.


Today, the kids who attend Hogwarts are going back since the weekend is over. I offered to take them all through apparition since I still have the dark mark, but Luna and Hermione are gonna just use a portkey to take them all there.


Although Voldemorts gone, The dark mark still burns from time to time. All the adults know about it, but the kids have no idea. I don't want them to even know what a dark mark is.


Breakfast soon came to an end and everyone stood up. The kids gathered their suitcases which had some extra clothes for the remainder of the school year, and they headed into the grand hall with Luna and Mione.


Seven kids and two adults can't use a portkey in a small room. We brought the rest of the kids to the living room area, where we put the television on and let them watch it.


Arlo, Alice, Lorenzo, Blaise, Pansy, and I walk back to the grand hall to wave goodbye. We blew some kisses and watched as everyone disappeared. I'm gonna miss them all. Winter break isn't for another few months.


I'm a bit nervous for Aurora. Although we changed her last name to Berkshire, some kids know her original last name, and they know who her biological father is.


Mattheo has a daughter, she's the same age as Aurora. Lola got pregnant as soon as she could, and gave birth to her daughter, Aloura Riddle. A very strange name, almost copying if you ask me.


They raised that girl to be a bitch. She's been messing with my sweet Aurora since first year, and my daughter is slowly getting sick of it. They hide her wand, sabotage her robes, curse her books, and even made a potion blow up in her face.


Lola convinced Aloura that she's very powerful, and it's not true. The first born is always powerful, and it's very clear how powerful Aurora is, but my daughter is very humble.


Mattheo hasn't tried to have a relationship with Aurora, and that is probably for the best. Aurora knows that Lorenzo isn't her biological father, but she still calls him her dad and doesn't see him as anything different. Her half siblings are more like her full blood siblings in her eyes, and it's the most amazing thing.


I know that no matter what house the kids are in, they were raised together and the houses will not separate them. They still sneak into each other's common rooms, sit at the same table to eat, and even get caught in classes that they aren't supposed to be in.


Dumbledore is still alive shockingly, and he sends me a letter at least once a week regarding the children. They all are very close and won't be away from each other. It interferes with their learning and maybe one day they will grow out of it.


I hope Aurora takes care of them all. She reminds me so much of myself, she's just a better witch. She's incredibly smart too. She just gets bullied for being nice. I raised her– we raised her to be better than her father, better than me.


And I'm confident that she will do just that, and so much more.

So, this is the last chapter of Against it all. I had a totally different ending but I decided to do a spin off so this is how it has to end. I am beyond grateful for all the love and support that I received on this book. I know that I'm not the best writer but I did as best as I could, and hopefully the second part of Against it all is even better. 


With that being said, tell me some things you might like to see in this next book? I plan to release it either tonight or tomorrow, but hopefully no later than that. 


I really hope you enjoyed this book and I wish you would stick around to start the new book/ finish the rest of the story which will be in Aurora's POV for most of the book. I will also include a few other characters, (Draco's kid(s), Maybe even add another kid of Mattheos, and some more), pictures of Aurora, Ian, Juliet, Ryan, Serena, Carson, and Kai. 


Nov. 6: I will not be writing the new book for a while since I feel like I need a break from Against it all's storyline but I am writing a new book. A Lorenzo fan fiction, 'Cold', which is already published. I am writing chapters daily so be sure to check that out, vote, and comment. Thank youu!
