Hi! Remember when I said I didn't like Vic's epilogue? I rewrote it! Since he's my favorite, I wanted his ending to be better.

This version keeps certain elements, but I changed a lot. Hope you like it!

Also, I mention that Vic's eye color is blue in here. I don't remember if I mentioned it earlier, and if I did, please tell me so I can fix it. Thanks.

Enough with these annoying author's notes! Let's get on with the story!

March 9, 7th year

By the Lake

11:42 PM

I was sitting under our tree, staring at the lake. The moon and stars reflected in the lake were sparkling brightly. It was so pretty.

"Lily?"

I turned around and was greeted by Vic's bright blue eyes. He was grinning, but he had a serious look in his eyes.

Vic's been working here at Hogwarts as a cook. He says it's because no other job appeals to him, but the selfish side of me says that he's working here to be with me.

"Hi, Vic," I said. He greeted me with a kiss to the forehead and sat down. I let my head rest on his shoulder and sighed.

"So what's wrong?" I asked.

"What makes you think something's wrong?"

I laughed. "Because I know you."

Vic laughed, too. "Am I a book to you?"

I shrugged. "Just tell me what's up."

"Remember when I mentioned I want to be a Curse Breaker?"

I nodded.

"Well, I got a job opportunity in Peru."

"Peru?"

"Peru. Home of potatoes," Vic tried to lighten the mood with a small joke.

"I thought potatoes were from Ireland."

"Potatoes originate from Peru, though. I promise to bring some back for you."

I smiled. "So how long will you be gone?" I asked.

"Five months. After that they'll send me home and review my progress. If they think I've got quality, they'll assign me to another place."

I was silent for a second. The second turned into a minute. The minute turned into five.

"Lily?"

"Sorry," I said. "Blanked out. Congratulations, Vic. I'm really happy for you."

I changed the subject to Regina (if she's single or married) and we talked for hours. Around two, we decided to get some sleep (even though it's a Sunday, so it doesn't really matter).

We strolled, hand in hand, back to the castle.

That is, until Vic stopped walking.

"What's wrong?" I asked. He didn't answer. "Vic?"

"You don't want me to go," he said finally. This time, it was me who didn't reply. "Lily."

"Wh-what makes you say that? I'm happy for you! Really, I am!" I said, but it sounded like I was trying to convince myself rather than Vic

"Then why haven't you looked me in the eye since I mentioned it?"

I was silent.

"Lily, you know you can tell me anything, right?"

I nodded.

"So why can't you tell me how you really feel?"

I could feel the words forming in my head, just begging to escape through my mouth. "Don't go!" the words said. "Stay with me!"

But instead, I say, "Peru, Vic! Peru!"

Vic jumped at my sudden outburst.

"It's halfway around the world, for Merlin's sake! What if you get into an accident? What if I lose you?" I could feel the stinging tears welling up in my eyes.

Vic stared at me. "You're thinking of Rickton, aren't you?"

I sighed. "What can I say, Vic? He appeared out of no where and I really liked him. Then once I get used to him, he leaves me... I lose him..."

Suddenly, the tears ran down my cheeks. Vic wiped them off.

"If you don't want me to go, just say so. I won't go."

I shook my head. "No. I want you to go. I want you to chase your dream."

Vic chuckled. He cupped my face in his hands. "Lily, you are my dream."

Then we kissed. It's impossible for me to say who started kissing first. I'll say it's Vic, but he'll probably say it was me.

"I'll send an owl every day, alright?" Vic whispered. "And while I'm there, chasing my dream, I want you to be chasing your dream. I want you to keep writing like you always do, okay?"

"Okay."

"I love you Lily. I have since the say we met."

I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I still don't understand that. Why me? Why an eight year old?"

"Well, that annoying, puny, childish eight year old changed my life."

We laughed. "How?" I asked.

"All I can say is, I liked you. I simply liked you, and I thought I wouldn't have a chance unless I changed myself. Unless I became a better person."

Vic closed his eyes and sighed. "Thank you, Lily."

"Idiot. What for?"

"For being mine. For changing me. For-"

I stopped him with a kiss. "... that," he finished with a smile.

"You talk too much," I laughed.

We held each other in silence for a while.

"So when are you leaving?" I asked.

"Two weeks. It's on a Hogsmeade Weekend so you guys can see me off."

"Aren't you just going to Apparate?"

Vic shook his head. "For some reason, they don't want me to. They want me to take the train. I'm gonna go back to Diagon Alley and fill out all the forms, then they're gonna send me to Peru."

I nodded. "That's pretty stupid, though."

Vic laughed. "I know it is, love."

Love... the thought of someone other than Vic calling me that now makes me laugh. I remember, back when I was so hopelessly in love with Scorpius, I panicked only because he called Rose love. Now, they're married. Rose is working in the Ministry along with Scorpius. Rose works in the Department of Mysteries. She was rather curious about it after hearing stories of our parents' fifth year. Scorpius works in the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office. They wanted him in the Department of Magical Games and Sports, but he became infatuated with Muggles, much like grandad, and he now has a large collection of Muggle things. Rose thinks it silly, since she lives in a Half-blood family, but Scorpius, coming from a Pureblood family finds it facinating.

Vic yawned, pulling me from my thoughts. I laughed. "Let's go. We need some sleep."

Vic yawned again. "I don't wanna climb all those stairs. Can't we just sleep by the tree?"

I laughed again. "Sure why not?"

So we walke back to the tree. With a flick of the wand, Vic conjured a blanket and placed it gingerly on the grass.

He lied down and almost instantly fell asleep. For a while, I sat next to him and stared.

Then I fell asleep.

March 10

By the Lake

About 9 or 10 AM

I woke up to Vic's blue eyes, just staring at me. "G'morning," he whispered.

"Morning," I yawned. I looked over to the castle and found a small window with a bear inside. I waved at it.

"Lily?" Vic said, putting his hand on mine.

"Hmm?"

"Let's break up," Vic said, looking away.

I froze.

"B-break up? Why?"

"I've been thinking about it for a while... I think it's for the best."

I stood. "I get it. I understand," I whispered. "Alright then. We're through."

I walked away, hoping that Vic would stop me.

But he didn't.

Girl's Dormitory

11:26 AM

Wind held me as I cried into her shoulder.

"Shh... What happened, Lily?"

"V-Vic," I sobbed. "He-he ditched me!"

"What?" Windy exclaimed. "That little-!"

My sobs stopped her mid-sentance.

"It's okay, Lily. Cry as much as you need to," Windy sighed.

When I finally stopped crying, Windy asked what happened again.

"Vic's being sent to Peru," I answered quietly. "He'll be there five months and..."

"What? C'mon Lil," Windy said.

"He said he loved me... then the next thing I know, he's ditching me!" I yelled.

Windy was taken aback by my sudden tone. "When's he leaving?"

"Two weeks. I don't know when, but it's on a Hogsmeade weekend."

We sat in silence for a while.

"So..." Windy started. "Are you gonna see him off?"

I shrugged. "I want to, but I don't know if he wants me there."

"Hey, Lily," Windy said.

"Hmm?"

"Let's go see Rose."

"She's busy with work, remember?"

"She didn't tell you?" Windy exclaimed. "She told us all that she was going to Hogsmeade with Scorpius. They're on vacation."

"Really?"

Windy nodded.

"Alright then, let's go!"

March 11

Three Broomsticks

12:25 PM

Windy, Lorcan, Lysander, Melonie and I all went as a group to see Rose and Scorpius. We were sitting in a booth, waiting for Rose and Scorpius to show up.

Suddenly, we could hear Scorpius's voice over the entire pub.

"WHERE IS THAT BLOODY GIT? I'LL KILL HIM!"

Everyone went silent and I sighed. Windy stood and called them over.

"Hey, Lily," Rose said, giving me a hug. "You alright?"

"I'm fine, Rosie."

"I'm glad. Scorpius is going crazy, and he's already told Al and James."

I grimaced. "Are they coming too?"

Rose laughed and shook her head. "Oh, no. I wouldn't let them. They wanted to and they told me to pass on a message."

Rose put on an angry face and deepened her voice. "'Lily, we we're not coming because Rose asked us not to. But remember, just say the word, and Harris is gone.'"

I laughed. "Tell them I said thanks, but their -er- services aren't required."

"Alright. Scorpius said he wanted to talk to you," Rose said. "Where did he go?"

"Scorpius said he was getting the drinks," Windy called.

The next minute, Scorpius stomped over to the table with seven Butterbeers.

"So, Lil," Scorpius said as he sat down. "What happened?"

"Yeah, Lily, what did happen?" Lorcan asked.

"You never really explained anything to us, either," Melonie said, gesturing to herself and Lorcan.

I was silent, contemplating on telling them the truth, or creating a different story. But then Rose caught my eye and was also asking what happened.

I never did tell anybody what really happened. Nobody except Windy.

So I told them the entire story (cutting out some parts certain people wouldn't like to hear.)

With each word, I could see Scorpius and Lorcan getting angrier and angrier.

"What a prat!" Lorcan exclaimed. "Who tells you they love you and then dump you!"

"Exactly!" Scorpius agreed. "Where is he, anyway? He should be on his knees apologizing!"

"No, no. I'm fine, really. Just getting it out helps a lot," I said.

I guess I wasn't very convincing, since their looks changed from angry, to symapthetic.

"Lily?"

I looked up at the source of the voice.

I'm sure you can guess who it was.

He was with a tall blonde witch in a blue cashmere sweater, long black skirt with ruffles, and a light purple pointed hat decorated with multi-colored owls.

"Vic," I said. "Good to see you."

"Yeah," he replied. "Well, we'd better find a table," he said to the witch with him.

"You can have ours, Harris," Scorpius spat. "We were just leaving."

We left our table, and exited the pub.

We went to the clearing that had a good view of the Shrieking Shack.

"Can I hit him, Lily?" Scorpius asked. "It would make me feel a lot better."

"Scorpius, remember what we talked about at home," Rose sighed.

Windy and Lorcan laughed. Melonie came over to me.

"Are you sure you're okay, Lily?" she asked.

"I'm fine!" I shouted. "It's obvious that he had a reason for ending it! There was someone else!"

I felt all eyes on me. I turned away from them all, and sat on a rock. I felt the tears welling in my eyes, but willed them not to roll down my cheeks.

My will power must not be that strong.

"Lily!"

Vic was running toward me.

I turned away so that he wouldn't see my face.

"Lily, can I talk to you?" Vic said.

"Hey, Rickton," Scorpius said.

"We'd like to talk to you first," Lorcan continued.

"You really made a mistake when you messed with a Weasley," Rose spat.

"Stop it!" I yelled. They stopped glaring at Vic and looked at my tear stained face. "I'm fine. He wanted to end it. I agreed. It's fine."

"Lily, that's actually what I wanted to talk about."

I turned away. "It's fine Vic. Go back to her."

"Lily, please! Let me talk to you!"

"NO!" I shouted. "There was somebody else. I know. It's fine. Leave. Go to Peru. Do what you want, I'm not part of your life anymore."

There was silence for what seemed like a lifetime. "I want to talk to you, Lily. I'll be waiting by the usual place. I'll be waiting there until I leave."

His voice sounded so hurt and it was so quiet. If my heart could break anymore by this point, it'd probably be dust.

March 19

By the Lake

11:21 PM

Every night since then, he's been waiting by the lake. Every night, right after dinner, I'd see him leave the castle and go to the lake.

I couldn't take it anymore. I had to go see him.

Again, Vic was sitting by the lake, wrapped in a blue and bronze Ravenclaw scarf and a cloak. As I came closer, I saw that he was asleep and he had a book on his chest.

I sat next to him, and let my head rest on his shoulder. I sighed. "Why couldn't we just stay like this forever?"

"Exactly," Vic suddenly whispered, making me jump.

"Magical mother of Merlin!" I shouted. "Don't scare me like that!"

"I'm sorry, love," Vic laughed.

"Don't call me that!"

Vic's smiled disappeared. "You never had a problem with it before."

I folded my arm acrossed my chest. "I have a problem with it now."

"C'mere," Vic said, holding his arms out."

"Why should I?"

"I've been sitting here for hours. It's really cold. I need warmth," he said, grinning.

"No."

Vic sighed. "Will you at least hear me out, then?"

I didn't say anything. Again, Vic sighed.

"Before I ended it, I told you I love you, right?" I nodded. "I do love you, Lily. I really do."

I scoffed.

"Don't interrupt me yet. I'll let you say whatever you want, but let me finish first."

"Fine," I groaned.

"I woke up hours before you did that night. All I could think about was your reaction to me going to Peru. I'll be gone for five months. What if you started to like some other bloke? Would you cheat, or would you love him from afar?"

I wanted to interrupt, tell him I wouldn't fall for another guy.

"What if I got hurt while I was there? I don't want to tie you down. I want you to be free while I'm in Peru. So I decided to end it. I was going to tell you all this, but you never gave me the chance to."

"Weren't you seeing someone else?" I asked.

"No!"

"Then who was that girl you were with?"

"You mean Nancy? She's in charge of the Peru group. She's nearly forty years old!"

I gasped. "But she looks my age!"

Vic laughed. "I know. She had to tell me several times before I actually believed her age."

He held his arms out to me again. "C'mere?" he asked with a small smile.

I ran into his arms.

"You bloody idiot!" I yelled. "I hate you!"

Vic's arms tightened around me.

"I hate you..." I whispered.

"I'm sorry," Vic said.

We held each other for the longest time.

When Vic loosened his grip on me, he sighed. "I'm glad you came today. I'm leaving tomorrow."

I let go of him. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"You wouldn't give me a chance, love," he answered. "See me off?"

"Of course."

March 20

Hogsmeade Station

11:25 AM

The group consisted of me, Vic, Windy, Lorcan, Lysander, Melonie, Rose, and a very reluctant Scorpius.

The boys didn't want to come, but we managed to talk them into it.

An hour ago, we had a few rounds of drinks at the Three Broomsticks. Then we went around buying a bunch of souveniers for Vic to take.

"Thanks, everyone, for coming today," Vic said. "I really appreciate it."

Scorpius sighed. "I don't know why Lily forgived you, but have a nice time over there," he said. "And if you break her heart again, you have loads of people coming after you."

"Understood," Vic said, smiling. "Lily, can I talk to you for a mo'?"

Vic took me out of earshot of the others. He took out a book from his bag.

"Could you look at this page?" he asked.

"What?"

"Just look at it."

I sighed and looked at the book. It was a muggle book called Traveling for Dimwits.

Just as I was going to ask why he was showing me this book, Vic kissed me.

"Wh-what?" I stuttered. "Everyone is over there, idiot!"

"That was the point of the book!"

I glanced over to everyone else. They didn't seem to notice.

"C'mon, Lil, I'm not that stupid. I wouldn't let your family see me kiss you. That'd be like commiting suicide."

We laughed. "The train should be here soon," I said.

"Yeah..."

Soon, the train had arrived. As others climbed onto the train, Vic hugged me and kissed my cheek.

"I'll see you later," he whispered.

July 22

A random park in London

2:33 PM

Hello first entry in new journal!

Just to catch up with previous journals: Vic is coming back today. Rose and Scorpius are still the same. Lorcan hasn't proposed to Windy yet, but we're still eighteen, it's too soon, don't you think?

Lysander and Melonie frequently owl each other, since Melonie lives in the countryside, while the Scamanders live closer to the urban area of England.

During the five months Vic has been gone, he had only sent me ten letters. The first nine were all sent in the first two weeks of Vic's absence. Since then, he has not contacted me in anyway, until three days ago. He sent me a small letter, apologizing for the lack of letters, and that he was coming back.

I have a book out! Not bestseller, but it's doing pretty well. It's a collection of short stories I've written over the years, and Teddy is super proud of me.

I already have a ton of fanmail, and I couldn't be happier.

...

That was a lie. I could be happier...

UHG! Vic was supposed to be here an hour ago!

I HATE WAITING, ESPECIALLY IF I DON'T HAVE A COOKIE IN MY HAND!

Someone tapped my shoulder. "Miss?" the person said.

"Yes, can I help you?" I asked, looking at the person. It was a boy. He had brown hair that was tied up in a short ponytail, and he wore glasses.

"Do you know anyone by the name of Lily Potter?"

"Why do you ask?" I asked, nervous. Was he some stalker or something?

"You look a lot like her," he said, smiling. When I didn't respond, his smile disappeared. "You really don't recognize me, do you?"

...

"Vic?"

His smile returned. "Took you long enough!" he laughed.

"Vic! Vic!" I said. The first happily, the second with anger.

"What happened to an owl everyday? What happened to keep in touch?"

"I'm sorry! We went underground, and I wasn't allwed to bring anything with me!" Vic said, defending his face. "Don't be mad!"

I sighed. "Why are you wearing glasses?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Oh... heh. While in Peru, some weird stuff got in my eyes. Now I can't see at all without these," Vic answered, laughing nervously.

...

...

...

"How could you get yourself hurt? And now you have permanent eye damage!" I yelled.

"It's not like I coul help it! It was an accident! And it might not be permanent!" Vic yelled in retaliation. He looked really mad at me. "Merlin! I just came back, and you're yelling at me!"

"It's not my fault! I've been really worried since you stopped sending letters!"

Vic was about to reply, but instead sighed. "We're causing a scene here. I have something really important to tell you."

Ice Cream Parlor

2:51 PM

Vic paid for my chocolate/vanilla sundae (topped with cherries, strawberries, bananas, and sprinkles) even though I told him I would pay for it.

"So what's up?" I asked, examining a cherry.

"I have a job at Gringotts," Vic answered. "And I have a flat here in London."

"Hwa?" I asked, my mouth full.

Vic grinned. "Yep! I'm gonna be staying here!"

"So what are you doing at Gringotts?"

"They've been having problems with the ancient vaults," Vic answered, taking a strawberry from my ice cream. "They've hired a group of Curse Breakers to take care of 'em."

"How long will this last?"

Vic shrugged. "A few weeks, maybe? It could take even longer than that."

"Brilliant!" I exclaimed. "I'll have to tell everybody!"

"Well... there's one more thing I have to tell you," said Vic. "It's more of a problem, really."

"What's that?"

"I need a roommate."

...

"What's wrong?" Vic asked.

I shook my head. Vic sighed. "It's him again, isn't it?"

"I just don't want to get my heart broken again... He came and went, right when I fell in lo-"

Vic cut me off with a kiss. "Don't say that," he said in a serious tone. "I don't want to hear that word escape from your lips unless it's pointed at me."

I felt my face become hot, and I knew I most likely reselmbled on of the cherries sitting on my ice cream.

"Did I ever tell you I'm very selfish?"

I shook my head. "I don't believe so," I whispered.

Vic smiled. "So what's your answer? To living with me, I mean."

"Hmm..." I said. "Let me think it over."

16 years later

Platform 9 3/4

3:28 PM

"But, mummy, what if I don't make any friends?" my daughter, Victoria, asks.

I laugh. "Don't worry about it, Tori. It's impossible."

"But, mummy!"

"Your mum's right, Vicky," Vic says. "Besides, Gemini will be there, as will Juliette and Rain."

As if on cue, Rose and Scorpius come along with their daughter Gemini. She looks come from Scorpius, with blonde hair and silver eyes, but her personality is more like Rose: tomboyish and intelligent.

"Tori!" Gemini calls, grinning.

"Hi, Gem," Victoria answers. "Have you seen Juli yet?"

Gemini shakes her head. "But guess what! We're going to Hogwarts today! Aren't you excited?"

"Of course I am! Ah, there they are!"

Following Lorcan and Windy were their twins Juliette and Rain. They both looked like minature Lorcans with dirty blonde hair and silver blue eyes.

Their personalities, however, were completely different. Juliette is a bright little ray of sunshine who never hesitates to speak her mind. This, of course, has gotten her into many fights. Despite this, she still is bright and happy, and now she's toughened up.

Rain, however, is poker faced and quiet. I never really hear him speak, and the only time I do is when he's around his sister, Victoria, and Gemini.

The four began to talk animatedly about what House they'll be placed in.

"Hey, Lil, it's been a while!" Windy said, giving me a hug. "Look at our kids, going off to destroy people."

"Windy," Lorcan scolded.

"What? Look at your daughter, Lorcan. She's as tough as Hungarian Horntail!"

Lorcan rolled his eyes and greeted Vic and I with a nod.

"Lily!" Rose called, jumping into my arms. "I don't want my little Gem to go!"

"Could you tell her to stop blubbering?" Scorpius said.

"Rosie, stop blubbering," I said, laughing. "Little Gem isn't little anymore. She has to go and destroy people."

Windy winked at me, and Rose wiped her face. "I know that... I just hope she doesn't destroy too many people."

Ten minutes later, the train came. Victoria gave me one last hug and hopped onto the Hogwarts Express.

As she waved, Vic took my hand in his.

"Look at our little Vicky," he whispered.

"Yeah..."

"Hey, Lily?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"I love you, too. Can we go get some ice cream?"

Vic and I laughed, and walked away, still hand in hand.

Wow... I like it alot more, but the ending still disappoints me.

Well I like how I named their children.

Victoria- after Vic.
Gemini- following the Malfoy tradition of constellation names.
Juliette- I know Lysander is from a play by Shakespear, but I don't know where Lorcan is from, so I just went with another Shakespeare name.
Rain- Windy. If you don't get it...

So... yeah. This is done. I want to pair Rain with Tori... So I might write one and put it here.

Blaaaahh

If you also read Hyrule's War, I am working on chapter 19, but it probably won't be out until Saturday. And... yeah.

That's about it!

BYE!

Review!
