Prologue
It's been five years. Sometimes I can't really believe it, alright most times I can't believe it. Five years since the pitch burned to ashes around our feet. Five years since McGonagall took the place of Headmaster. Five years since the last of the Marauders went to be with his friends and lover. His wife following behind. Five years since the reign of terror was finally, truly ended. Five years since my best friend gave his all, his life to save mankind.
Ron went into a tailspin after Harry died. Knowing he needed me to be strong when he couldn't was the only thing that kept me going. Ginny was heartbroken for years, but Dean was able to get her to enjoy life again. They've been married for nearly three years now, and have a little girl, and another on it's way. Ron and I married after that first year, we figured it was what Harry would have wanted. We lost a lot of people in that war, but thankfully all of the Weasley's made it through.
George and Angelina got married as well. Everyone thought she would marry Fred, but she finally told him that she had always felt like she belonged more with George. Fred was in complete agreement, and was George's best man at the wedding. Charlie's husband works in Romania with him, and they just got turned down for the third time to adopt a baby. Percy and Oliver Wood found each other again after the war, they were friend's for a while, but as the tides turned their feelings changed. They are now engaged to be married. Bill and Fleur are still happily married. The only one that isn't happily committed to someone is Fred, and he says that he is happily committed to work.
I was working in the Department for Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. A few years after the war though my psychiatrists asked me to write down memories in a journal. I believed I had a gift for writing, and knew that everyone would want to read Ron and I's side of the story. My journal was turned into a best selling novel. I've since gone on to write two more novels, and with the success of them all, and Ron's job, I am financially stable enough to stay at home and write.
Ron went on to achieve his and Harry's dream of being an auror. He didn't even have to apply. Kingsley Shacklebolt was given the honor of being in charge on the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and offered it to him. He had to go through some training, but it was a breeze for him since he had already tracked and fought dark wizards. He throws most of his energy into his job, and those that are close to him can tell that the loss of Harry still makes it hard for him to get out of bed most days.
The rest of the Order has moved on with their lives. Five years have passed, nearly a decade. The war will never be forgotten, and the Potters will always be remembered as the bravest of heroes. I once heard a young teen make a joke about, "the boy-that-lived become the man-that-died." His friend quickly corrected him calling my old friend, "the boy-that-lived become the man that sacrificed his life for others freedom." Those that lost people in the war had to keep moving, had to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
