Epilogue

Winky and Dobby moved to a couple's room soon after the ritual. Winky brought a baby house-elf to the Potter house about five months later, making Dobby a proud father.

Fleur had already been pregnant during that ritual. She gave birth to Victoire about seven months later, bringing all the Weaslys a new hope and a reason for happiness.

Harry and Hermione returned to Hogwarts as teachers, keeping their distance from the wizarding politics, except when they thought it was important. Then they used their full influence to achieve their goals. Nobody dared stay in their way.

Hermione gave birth to James nine months after the ritual, with Harry supporting her all through her pregnancy and then during delivery, using his magic to ease the birth process as much as he could. Winky seemed to be as happy as can be, being finally able to help a real family.

Sirius Potter-Black was born a year later, almost to the day.

Lilly came another year later, making Harry even happier.

It was three years later when they got twins: Jean and Dave. This time, both pregnancy and delivery were much harder on Hermione and she didn't think she'd like more children, yet they had Remus only ten months later.

Winky was glad to care for so many children, along with a few more of her own, and Dobby was just as enthusiastic. The Grangers were very happy having so many grandchildren to spoil.

Nobody though of more children. Still, two years later, Dora was born. She soon proved to have similar talents to her namesake and Godmother. She was a metamorphmagus with a fiery temper and was quite clumsy at times. Luckily, Teddy had become her protector and constant company since early age. Nobody wondered when the two decided to marry once Dora finished Hogwarts.

It was more than a hundred years later when Harry and Hermione moved to the next great adventure, leaving their aged bodies still hugging in their bed.


A.N. I hope you are not too disappointed by the short epilogue. I could have continued the story, making it a parents/children one or a teachers/students or even a political romance, but I think that this is the best point to stop this story if I don't want to drag it. As many of you know, life has its ups and downs, even for people who are generally happy. I'd rather not go into it, but stop the story where everybody seems happy, at least for a while.

And, as always - Please Review!
