Epilogue: Dolores Umbridge and Viktor Krum
With thanks to Found Wanderer
Dolores Umbridge is left with a pathological fear of horses after her run-in with the Centaurs in the Forbidden Forest, and in her rabid desire to escape any large four legged mammals she relocates to a lovely island in the Florida keys. There she dwells in a large and very expensive yacht, paid for with her ministry retirement fund. She decides she must have the most fabulous and expensive closets installed on her yacht to protect her collection of pink robes and cardigans, and thus she calls out an independent contractor. She takes an immediate disliking to him when he arrives. Being her opposite in every way, the contract man yells at her, calls her a selfish horrid person, and leaves without completing the job. Later that night, Dolores falls overboard. Unfortunately for her, the staff aboard the yacht do not like her and roundly pretend not to hear her cries for help. When she is washed ashore the next morning, she has no memory of whom she is. The news airs a short feature about her, pleading for anyone with information on her identity to come forward. By coincidence, the contractor happens to see the feature, and immediately goes down to the hospital, claiming she is his wife. The hospital is well glad to be rid of her. Although the man, whose name is Kurt, has planned to punish her for her earlier treatment of him, he instead begins falling for her. She becomes a surrogate mother for his three sons, and soon becomes a real part of the family. When she eventually regains her memory, she is terribly angry, but quickly realizes that she has found true love and a loving family, and she gives up her former life to stay with Kurt and the boys. Presumably, they still live happily in the Keys.
Viktor Krum, despite his status as the best Quidditch player in the world, longs for something more. Something rewarding, something competitive, something… glamorous. He packs up and heads to Central St. Martins immediately after this epiphany: he wants to be a fashion designer. At first the world is skeptical of his new career plans, but his evident talent with cut, and instinctive eye for colour quickly skyrocket his career. He becomes known as the bad boy of European fashion, effectively stealing the title from Alexander McQueen (wizard) and Nicholas Ghesquiere (muggle, but awesome.) Despite stereotypes, Krum remains a devout ladies man, and has been linked with everyone from Sienna Miller to Celestina Warbeck, whom he describes as "a MIDF, which is like a MILF but in the past tense." Wink, wink. Krum and his wandering broomstick provide plenty of fodder for the tabloids, but whatever the papers may say of him, the Design House of Krum becomes one of the most prominent in modern fashion history.
Woo! Only eight more days to go, kids!
