Cross felt Luna's stomach quickly, before falling back on his ass and staring into the distance in a daze with his mouth wide open. Luna brought him into the house, feeling a bit anxious herself.
The group saw Cross' expression and Luna sat him down. He sat on the couch with the same dazed expression and Luna looked at him worriedly, the group looked at Cross and frowned, Moody said "He didn't get hit did he?" Luna shook her head and bit her lips, not quite sure what to say.
Sirius snapped in front of Cross' face and said "Bloody hell, don't tell me he's braindead now." Luna looked really anxious and Molly rubbed her shoulders saying "Sit down, dear. He'll be alright." Luna smiled slightly and said "He's fine, it's just..."
Lupin said seriously "What happened?" Luna felt awkward and looked at Nymphadora as she touched her stomach, Nymphadora's eyes widened as she shouted "What?! Are you serious?!" they all looked at her and she bounced over sitting next to her as she said "Me too! Congratulations!"
Lupin looked at Luna and Cross in surprise and slapped his forehead saying "He's fine. He's just-" Cross finally reacted "You're pregnant?!?!?!" his shout was so loud, Sirius almost got a heart attack. They rest widened their eyes in shock and looked at Luna.
Luna said shyly and a bit sadly "I think so.." as she thought Cross was angry. Cross slumped into the chair, Hermione fainted and the rest were in shock. Fleur said happily "Congratulations!"
Ron recovered and patted Cross' shoulder as he forced a laugh down saying "Well done, mate! Not even married yet and you stuffed her full!" Molly slapped Ron and chided "Watch your mouth! Who got stuffed full! When are YOU going to stuff someone full, eh?"
Ron rubbed his head and replied "Blimey, mum, you can't be serious. You think I can just get anyone pregnant?!" Molly rolled her eyes and said "Let's celebrate! Come, sweetheart, give the boys some space." Luna left with her, still really nervous, as Cross hadn't said anything. The rest of the girls left and Fleur picked up Hermione on their way out.
Cross was staring into space mumbling "I'm gonna be a dad.." over and over again, the rest sat down and Lupin said "Me too actually." Ron quipped "Is it the season? What's with everyone?" Harry chuckled and slapped him as he said "Congratulations.. To the both of you."
Cross was out of it for a few more seconds before he got up and walked outside. The group followed him and Cross said "Grey, come out." Grey flew out and grew as he looked at Cross.
Cross said "Hit me. I think I'm dreaming." Grey didn't have any problems and slammed his tail against Cross, sending his flying into the fields extremely fast.
Sirius whistled and said "I think he's dead." Lupin nodded in agreement, Ron added "I think he's trying to kill himself." while Harry and Hagrid looked at Grey and said "A Horntail?!" Grey looked at Harry and clicked his tongue as he said "The boy who almost killed me.. How do you do?"
Harry felt strange and said "Are there other animals I've almost killed in that bag too?" Grey shook his head and Harry said "That's good."
Cross reappeared in front of the house and said "Get back inside." Grey flew back inside and Cross stood there silently, Lupin said "How do you feel? Do you want some chocolate?" Harry asked "Do you just carry some everywhere?" Sirius chimed "He has a bit of a sweet tooth..."
Cross grabbed the chocolate and devoured it before saying "I'm gonna be a dad." he turned around and said nervously "I'm not ready to be a dad! I can't even take care of myself!" The guys all burst into laughter and Ron asked curiously "How does it feel, mate?"
Cross said "Amazing! I'm excited but I'm also nervous, I don't know how to care for a child. I'm not even 18 yet!" Ron mumbled "Then you shouldn't be shagging all the time then.." Cross ignored him and looked at Lupin saying "Professor, how do you feel?"
Lupin said "Well, pretty good considering the circumstances. I just hope he doesn't become a Werewolf like me." Cross was silent for a moment before suddenly saying "Where's Luna." they all pointed inside and Cross disappeared.
Ron sighed "I really want to do that." Harry chuckled and said "Become an Elf then." Ron clicked his tongue and headed back inside while Harry laughed and followed him.
Cross appeared in front of Luna, who had red eyes. The girls backed off and Cross lifted Luna's head to look at him, she sniffled and Cross wiped her tears away gently as he touched her forehead with hers, letting her feel his emotions.
She held his face and Cross whispered "I'm happy. But I'm extremely nervous and scared as well." he grabbed her hand and held it tightly, kissing the back of it as he said with a smile "Hopefully they end up like you."
Luna laughed and cried tears of joy. Cross smiled softly and Luna hugged him, he rubbed her back with a gentle smile. The rest of the girls wiped their eyes, while Hermione was still unconscious. Molly clapped and said "Let's celebrate! Come, everyone downstairs!"
They all left and Cross said "I guess I might have forgotten to sterilize myself last time." Luna smiled happily and rubbed her stomach lovingly as she said "And the few times after that and basically every time after Dumbledore was killed. I stopped forcing it out too, so here we are."
Cross kissed her hand and smiled lovingly as he said "I'm glad." Luna smiled and said "Me too. Good thing you forgot, or the other one would be alone." Cross smiled warmly and brought Luna downstairs as Molly spread out a feast.
They celebrated and ate together, Cross felt it was nice to be with these people now. Since Dumbledore was out of the picture the only other worry was the crazy moron, but Cross didn't take him too seriously.
They celebrated late into the night and Cross went to bed with Luna in his arms, having a beautiful dream.
The next day
Cross got dressed in a nice suit, he matched Luna and strangely enough, he looked even better than he did in black.
Luan was wearing a beautiful pink dress, while Cross was wearing a pink suit with a white shirt, a black tie, black belt, and black shoes. His jewelry was revealed and his hair was slicked back. Luna looked like a beautiful fairy, Cross felt his mouth go dry as he looked at her.
Luna twirled and said sweetly "Beautiful?" Cross nodded dumbly and said "Marry me?" Luna giggled and blushed, not answering. Cross heard his name getting called and he walked outside, Luna watched him go with love in her eyes.
Cross got outside and said "Yo!" Arthur waved him over and said "Come help lift the tent, boy." Cross took off his jacket and put it in his bag as he walked over, rolling his sleeves as he said "Can't get it up, eh boys?"
Ron said "Piss off, cunt." Cross laughed and waved his hand, the tent flew up and settled perfectly. Cross held his chin up high and said "How does it feel? To be not as good as me?" They all gave him the finger and chuckled as they went to another tent.
Cross helped them as Ron went inside, seeing the Minister of Magic. Surprisingly, it wasn't Amelia Bones. But Amelia did come, apparently she was engaged to Sirius! Cross was surprised and said "Congratulations!" Amelia smiled and Sirius laughed.
Cross shook his head and said "Look at that! Two people who I saved are together. Maybe I have a talent?" Amelia smacked his head and smirked as she said "Relax, boy. I may not be in the Ministry anymore, but don't think I don't know that the books that went missing are with you."
Cross chuckled and slipped away into the house, escaping Amelia while Sirius laughed.
Cross held "The sword is Harry's, it came to him when he needed it most." Cross walked over and saw Hermione arguing with the Minister, who replied "At any case the current whereabouts of the sword are unknown. I don't know what you're planning Mr. Potter, but you can't do it alone. He's too strong." before getting up and leaving.
Cross smiled at the Minister and said "I would be very careful at the Ministry, Minister. I do hope you will not be a corpse the next time I see you." The Minister nodded and replied "I will heed your advice, Mr. Greengrass. Farewell." as he left.
Cross looked at the three and said "Actually, Hermione. The sword doesn't belong to anyone. You see, Goblins have different owner beliefs. It is their belief that the maker, and not the buyer, is the true owner of the item. Whoever buys it is merely renting the item."
Cross looked at the snitch in Harry's hands and said "May I borrow that for a moment, Harry?" Harry handed it over and Cross touched it a few times, the snitch opened and revealed a ring. Cross took the ring and said "I'll trade you something good for this ring, how about it?"
Harry said "You know what that is?" Cross smiled and nodded as he said "The Resurrection Stone." Hermione said "Resurrection Stone?" Ron asked "You can bring someone back from the dead with that?! Bloody hell! I just got a lighter!"
Harry said "If that's the care I would like it back, please Cross." Cross sighed and sat down as he said "Harry, what you're thinking won't work." Harry said "How did you-" Cross looked at him sadly and explained "The Resurrection Stone cannot bring the dead back to life. It merely brings their souls back..."
Cross paused as he thought for a moment, before saying "Do you remember Tom Riddle's diary?" Harry nodded and Cross smiled "It's like that. But the spirits that come back are usually in great pain and cannot stay for too long, only a few minutes or hours depending on the bond."
Cross tapped on Hermione's book as he said "The 3 Deathly Hallows should be in that book." Hermione opened the book and started looking for it, Cross explained "The 3 Deathly Hallows are the Elder Wand, the Cloak of Invisibility, and..." he held up the ring as he continued "The Resurrection Stone."
Harry said "Cloak of Invisibility?" Cross smiled and said "Your Cloak, yes. It is said that if one gathers all the Hallows they will be the Master of Death and unable to die." Ron shouted "Bloody hell! That's amazing!"
Cross shook his head and said "It is, but this is a lie." Hermione spoke "He's right." as she told the story of 3 brothers gaining things from Death himself. Cross added after she finished "Death is inevitable. Everyone dies in the future, no matter what. You may be able to live for a very, very, long time but you will never live forever. Unless...."
Cross stopped speaking and Ron said "Unless what!?" Cross smiled and said "Unless.. You become a god... But even then, I don't know how long gods live for. Anyway, Harry wanna trade? I just might have something you'll want~"
Harry looked at the ring in thought before saying "Let's see it, then." Cross smirked and said "There's a reason they can't find Godric's sword, mate." as he pulled Godric's sword from his bag.
Ron was amazed and said "Blimey! What else, you got in that bag?!" Cross pulled out a few more things as he said "Egg incubator, Rare woods and materials for wands, A bottomless bottle of Felix Felicis, a bucket of Veritas Serum, A bunch of Phoenix feathers...."
A ton of things were spilled out on the table, Hermione, Ron, and Harry were stunned. Hermione said "How many books can you hold in that bag?!" Ron said "Books?! Have you seen what he just pulled out?!"
Harry looked at Cross and said "I'll take the sword." Cross smiled and handed it over with the snitch as he said "Oh yes, the sword can destroy Horcruxes." Harry took the sword and looked around, Cross said "Oh my bad." he dug into his bag and pulled out another bag before handing it over as he added "This is a bottomless bag, I made it myself. I was considering selling them but you can have one for free. They're completely stable so you can put your things inside without worry."
He threw another two at Ron and Hermione as he said "This one is better than yours, Hermione." he turned back to Harry and said seriously "Thank you, Harry. Truly, this is just what I was looking for, Oh, a word of advice.. I would return it to the Goblins when you're done with it. Having Goblins come after you is not fun. If you do happen to want to keep it or lose it, come find me. I have some pull with the Goblins."
Harry smiled and put the sword and his things away in the bottomless bag before stuffing it in his pocket as he said "Thanks, Cross." Cross smiled and said "If you want to give your Cloak away, I'll take it too~" Hermione said "You want all three?" Cross laughed and shook his head as he said "No. The Cloak is just interesting, as for the wand. I have no use for it, plus why would I want it? For my kids? It's just a piece of wood at the end of the day."
Hermione felt her mouth twitch as she said "That's the most powerful wand in the world!" Cross shrugged and said "Well, then Harry if you do happen to come across the Elder Wand and you don't want it, you can give it to me. I'll take it." Harry chuckled and said "I'll keep it in mind."
Cross smiled and his hand, holding the ring, glowed golden green as he said "Ultimate Cleanse." The ring was cleared of any curses, wards, charms, spells, etc. Cross tossed it in his hands and took all his stuff back before walking away.
Ron said "I reckon, he's gonna do something." the three followed Cross, who found Luna sitting on a bench, reading a book, outside with the beast bag next to her. Cross started to feel nervous as he walked over, Luna looked at him and smiled "Yes?"
Cross rubbed the ring in his hands and coughed as he got on one knee and held out the ring as he said "Marry me?" Luna dropped her book and gasped in shock, covering her mouth with her hands as tears flowed.
Ron, Hermione, and Harry were stunned. Harry said "Did he just..." Hermione was in a daze and Ron said "Power move! Giving away a Deathly Hallow just like that!"
The rest of the group looked over and gasped.
Luna looked at Cross and nodded excitedly, before hugging him and shouting "Yes! Yes! Of course!" Cross was over the moon and hugged her as the people watching clapped, cheered, and whistled.
Cross looked around and said "Beat it, peepers! Damn!" but he had a big smile on his face, they all laughed and shouted "Congratulations! Hahaha"
Cross shook his head and put the ring on Luna's left hand ring finger. Luna looked at the ring and froze in shock as she said "Y-Y-Y-You!" she looked up at Cross, who smiled lovingly and said "I had to trade a sword for it." Luna burst into tears as she hugged him again. Cross smiled softly and rubbed her back as the rest came over, the girls took Luna away while the guys joked with Cross.
All in all, it was a happy day until the wedding.
