Epilogue

Last week, George and Angelina got married. Everyone thought they were a perfect match, and couldn't wait for it to be official. Mrs. Weasley was at her worst, making sure everything was perfect, just like it should be, for her son's wedding. I suppose that she wanted at least one wedding to go right. Bill's had ended as a complete disaster, and who knew when she'd next get the chance to host a wedding.

I think that the wedding was bittersweet, because as lovely as the occasion was, it couldn't be the same without Fred. This was meant to be the happiest moment of a man's life, yet how could it be after all of the wartime devastation.

Even four years after the final battle, we were still recovering. However, things continue to get better all the time, and I think that although there is a part in everyone that has been changed forever, things are beginning to seem normal again.

My mother moved back to England with Pearl and lived near me. I don't think we will ever be as close though, she had missed out on so much. It was like the soldiers that came back after the world war – things had changed, and many people couldn't handle it. We still love each other greatly, but I can't forget all those times I would turn to Mrs. Weasley, or Ginny or Fleur, rather than going to my mother. Now I can go to my mother, but her opinion is no longer the only one of value to me.

However, I'm delighted to have found my mum, and we are growing close every day. I hope that, like the Weasley's have recovered, we too will soon adjust our lives. They will never be the same as before the war, but they may be, in some ways, better. I learnt a lot from our months in isolation, and some things I need to unlearn, while others will stay with me forever.

It seems stupid that I am summing up my war experiences now, four years later, but I didn't feel like I could until things were at least slightly back to normal.

At least Ron has pulled himself together. He and Katie have been together for a while, and I don't see any signs of them breaking up soon. Well, that's what Ginny has told me, anyway.

Harry and Ginny still haven't married; I think they are just enjoying knowing that someday they will. I have no doubt that they were meant to be together though.

Draco and I are also together! I owe so much to him, including my life, and yet all he wants in return is my love, something which is so easy to give him. I don't feel like I need to write much about him now, because I hope you got to know him as well as I did throughout the story. He certainly plays a big part in my life though.

Apparently I still have nightmares, and often I have to go to his house for company. However, I don't think they are as bad, because I often don't remember them.

I'm finally finished, now. I've written down my story, and I hope that others will read it. I've always wanted to be a published author, and maybe it will now come true.

The only dark shadow in my life is the former death eaters and Umbridge. They were given fifteen years in Azkaban each, a fair sentence. But I have the feeling that they won't let me go, nor will they stop trying to kill Harry and Ron, until the day they die.

The only I remember my father telling me about a lieutenant that had fought in the jungle during the Second World War. After the war had ended, messages were dropped into the jungle telling the soldiers they could come out, but the lieutenant hadn't believed. He remained fighting in the war until he was found about thirty years late, because he simply refused to believe the war was over.

Sometimes I wondered if Umbridge and the others were like that, they simply refused to believe they had lost the war. Of course in their case it was different, because they had seen the war come to an end, and had been captured or fled because of it. But I guess there are some people who can never accept loss, and have to keep fighting until they are forced to stop.

The End!

I'm sorry to anyone who thinks that this last chapter is too short, but I think the whole point of prologues is to tie up loose ends, and I think I've covered anything previously mentioned – though if I've missed something, let me know!

I'm proud to have finished these story, and thank you to everyone that encouraged me with their great reviews. Remember: just because the story has ended, it doesn't mean your reviews also have to.

I have to say thanx to nature love 95, my first and most frequent reviewer XD

I hope you all liked this.
