Epilogue! A tiny glimpse into the future.

Thanks for all your wonderful reviews! I've enjoyed receiving them and hope you follow my next stories as well.
On with the chapter.

Laughter floated through the window as the sunset slowly sunk into the distance. Remus appeared in the kitchen door carrying a fluff of brown hair over his right shoulder and a squeal of delight under his left arm. "Put us down, put us down, put us down!" Two voices echoed in the room.

Hermione looked up to see Remus placing their two children onto the floor simultaneously kicking his shoes off.

The two giggling children ran over to hug her, looking up at her with bright brown eyes.

"Mummy!" Allen shouted "Papa was chasing us and Petra ran up a tree and she was trying to hide but he still found her and then she screamed and he was trying to jump up and get her but she wasn't far away and he was pretending she was and she jumped down and it was almost as high as I am!!"

"My that was a mouthful" Hermione laughed at the excited six year old.

Eight year old Petra stood beside him laughing at the story.

"Papa couldn't find me right away." She said sure of herself. "I'm really good at hiding."

"Nuh uh!" Allan objected, "I could see you right away! So papa would be able to see you even better!"

"Allan you've always been the best at hide and go seek. Petra, Allan was probably standing in a spot where he could see you better then papa could."

"Time to clean up for dinner." Remus chimed in. "Go wash up and come back down."

The two ran off to wash up.

"How are you my dear?" He gave her a long strong hug.

"Wonderful now." She melted into his embrace. "I think I might be nearing the end of my job."
She smiled up at him, as his eyes grew wide.

"Really?" He replied shocked. "How much longer do you think?"

"I think about 4 more laws longer. It will still be a fight, but with the rest of them behind us it will be a fight we can win."

Hermione had devoted her time and energy trying to abolish old laws pertaining to "half human or sub human" species. Finally after eight long years and hundreds of meaningless laws werewolves and other magical creatures who had the mental faculties would have the same rights and freedoms of any normal witch or wizard.

"Our children, and others like them, will be able to marry when they want, who they want, get jobs, have time off each month without threat of job loss. They can not be turn away from housing because of who they are, and they will be able to enter into ministry positions if they so aspire." She said with satisfaction.

"Are you really ready to retire?" Remus asked sceptically.

"Of course not!" Hermione laughed "Professor McGonagall said that there was a certain office available for a new Charms Professor next to a certain DADA Professor's office."

"Will you ever slow down?" He smiled at his ever busy wife.

"Only when you do my love only when you do." She answered with a kiss.

The moment of peace was quickly over as Allan and Petra bounded back into the kitchen.

Taking their assigned jobs setting the table and bringing out the food.

Supper was happy and warm,and when it was over the dishes set to cleaning themselves.

Bed time stories were read, monsters under the bed were shoo'd away and hugs and kisses led to sweet dreams.

Setting themselves down for the night Hermione snuggled into Remus and drifted to sleep. Much as they did nine years ago, and the same to follow for years to come.

DONE! I know it wasn't a terribly long chapter but epilogues usually aren't. Once again, thanks for keeping up and hopefully you stick around when more come later!

Please review!
