A/N: This is the last chapter, so I felt like it would be proper to thank all of my readers and reviewers for following this story! After about 2 and a half months, it's finally over! So now I just have some individual people to thank:


chawk1993: Thank you so much for all your reviews! And thanks for pointing out what I messed up on; constructive criticism helps a lot. As for what the sequel entails, see the bottom of this chapter. (Oh, and you might see Astoria in the sequel.)

ebonbon: Wow, you reviewed almost every chapter (starting with chapter 22, or somewhere around then). Thanks for all of your reviews and your compliments! This is the last chapter of this story… then the sequel will be up!

alwaysapotter: I'm still used to your old username, SaraHunterofArtemis. But I like your new one (it fits Harry Potter!). Anyway, you are my most reliable reviewer ever. You have reviewed every single chapter of my story with a long and insightful review. All of your reviews were about something that you liked/disliked and that helps a lot! So thank you sooooooo much. And as for your last review, let's just say that Rosencrantz is from the northernmost part of Norway. So it's cold. :)

Mirany.T: Thanks for reviewing! I know my updates are only weekly, but in the beginning they were daily so I think that made up! And I'm kind of busy, so I can't update every day anymore… but thanks again!

RoseWeasleyRoxX: "It just won't be the same without waking up to find that Eternal Glory has another chapter out" – that was funny! But you'll be able to wake up and see that the sequel has another chapter out! :) Thanks for all your reviews!

pepe200: Thanks for your reviews and compliments! You'll see more about Scorpius and his father in the sequel… I think. I'm still planning it out in my head. Thanks for your reviews again!

Ahsoka's Padawan: Thank you for your two reviews! And thanks for being able to read my whole story without getting bored!

Sora-Kun91094: I will make a sequel! And it's hard to update fast… Once a week isn't that slow; other writers update even more randomly. Thanks for reviewing though!

Miss R.E. Mulvey: I made a waterslide just for you! :) Thanks for reviewing!

Ms. Teddy Lupin: Thanks for all your reviews! I wanted to make the end of the Triwizard Tournament somewhat memorable, so I had James give most of the money to Rosencrantz. I'm glad that you liked that!

L-U-N-A-654: You have reviewed almost every single chapter of this story, starting from the beginning. Thank you so much! In the beginning, I barely got any reviews, but I knew I would get at least 2 (one from you and one from another person). So thanks so much for reviewing!

NegligibleNaina: Thanks for your reviews! Every one means a lot to me!

FatallyUnique: Thank you for reviewing! You reviewed my story and I reviewed yours... it's mutualism! (Sorry, I just learned about symbiosis in biology and that fit…) Anyway, thanks again! And your story is really good too!

Luniousa 07: Wow. Your reviews are really deep and long. Thanks – I'm glad you liked all the suspense (not many people do!). Thanks for all your compliments and reviews for this story… I hope you'll like the sequel too!

Hurricane Jackson: Thank you for your review! Every review makes a difference.

Nightkill: Thanks for reviewing. It's a good thing you didn't expect Guillory kidnapped James… I try to make my stories unpredictable. Thanks again!

DEDEBUG9: Thanks for reviewing twice!

MagicalNinjaUnicorn: Nope, its not a fake Neville. I loved the character of Neville so I wouldn't make him evil. But thanks for all your reviews!

MusicalFANtasy: Thank you for reviewing!

CK Geisener: Thanks for reviewing. And I'll write about Scorpius and the potter/Weasley family in the sequel, I promise.

Nell123: Thanks for your review and comments. I tried to fix all the mistakes, but I'm not british, so I might have made some without knowing it. But I try…

tommytank: Thanks for your reviews! And the answer to your questions are in the story.

fahionista521: Thanks for reviewing and answering my questions!

Yellowtail555: Your reviews were helpful! And thanks for giving me the suggestion of the triathlon for the third task… it was a really good idea!

AshleyM15, Lady Elizabeth of New York, Elisabeth Fray, chillyM: Thank you ALL for reviewing! I got too lazy to put separate reviews… but still, thank you.

KittyCat809: My first review ever! Thank you! The first review always matters the most!


I think I got everyone (that took a long time). If I didn't, sorry! But I value everyone's reviews.

Oh and for anonymous reviews, I just want to thank all of you so much. Richasa, Julia, Harrypotterfan150150, Anon, EWAP, and RandOm pErson (wow, your review was long… I don't think the story will be Eternal Glory2 , but I'll make sure to say that it is the sequel to Eternal Glory). Thank you all!

And thanks to all the story alerters and favoriters and other things…

Now enjoy the chapter! (Sorry for the really long A/N…)


"Dominique, hurry up!" Charlotte shouted. "You're taking so long!"

"I'm almost done," Dominique replied, stuffing a couple of stray socks into her suitcase. Then she zipped it up, and stood up.

"Finally," Charlotte said, jumping up and down. "Let's go. Molly and Roxanne already left."

Dominique rolled her eyes but followed her best friend from Hogwarts outside the tent. Charlotte was ahead, walking toward her two other friends. "Charlotte!" Dominique called. "Do you mind if I go back inside the castle? I just want to take one last look!"

"You could have told me earlier!" Charlotte said, but nodded. Dominique turned around and walked back toward Beauxbatons.

She pushed open the door and walked inside. The Hall was really empty; most of the students were about to go home. Dominique walked around the entrance hall, remembering the past year. It had gone by so quickly…

"Sorry," Dominique said, accidentally walking into somebody else. She looked up and saw that it was Clara. "Oh, hey," she said.

"Hi Dominique," Clara replied. "Are you just looking around?"

"Yeah," Dominique answered. "This is probably the last time I'll ever be here… I just want to look around one more time."

Clara nodded. "It's going to be so different next year. The Hall is going to be so much emptier, without all the Hogwarts and Durmstrang people. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing."

"I get what you mean," Dominique said, and she sighed. It was time to go back home and spend the summer with Victoire, who probably wouldn't talk to her at all.

"We should probably be going," Clara said. "Your train's probably leaving soon."

"Oh yeah," Dominique said. She took one last look at the hall, and then followed Clara outside. The two girls walked down toward the edge of Beauxbatons.

"Well, this is it," Dominique said.

"Yeah," Clara agreed. "So, how about a hug?"

"Sure," Dominique replied, and the two girls hugged. "I'm going to miss you a lot," Dominique said. "I've never met anybody like you."

"I'll miss you too," Clara responded. "But it's not like we'll never see each other again."
"It's not?"

"Of course not," Clara said. "We can write to each other, and if you ever feel like it, we could floo over to each other's houses. I'm an only child, so summers get boring sometimes."

Dominique smiled. "That'd be nice. Well, see you."

They hugged one more time and departed. Dominique walked toward the Hogwarts Express, and got on near the back. She took one last look at Beauxbatons castle before she closed the door.


The train finally started moving. Lily leaned against the window, watching the castle slowly disappear from view.

"That was a fun first year," Hugo commented, sitting across from Lily.

"Yeah," Lily agreed. "I wonder what next year will be like."

"It can only get better, can't it?" Layla said.

The four of them—Lily, Layla, Hugo, and one of his friends, Connor—were sitting alone in a compartment. Lily hadn't felt like joining the rest of her cousins, who were probably loud and noisy; she wanted to enjoy the silence by herself.

"Lily!"

"What?"

"Hello?" Hugo called. "We're asking you if you want to play team Wizard's Chess."

"Oh yeah, sure," Lily replied. "But I'm partners with Layla."

Hugo smirked. "Really? Are you any good?" He directed the question to Layla.

"You'll see," she replied.

Ten minutes into the game, it was still not obvious who was winning. Lily and Connor were both horrible at chess, but Layla and Hugo were both good, so the two teams were evenly divided.

"What should I do?" Lily whispered to Layla. The rules of team Wizard's Chess were the same as one-on-one, but, instead, two people took turns playing. This time it was Lily's turn, and she wasn't sure what to do.

"That's cheating!" Connor said in protest. "You can't do that!"

"The rules never said we weren't allowed to," Lily responded, as Layla whispered something in Lily's ear. "Okay. Knight to E6."

The black knight moved in an L shape to a spot in front of the queen. "Hmm," Hugo said thoughtfully, watching the board. After a moment, he said, "Queen to E6."

The Pawn moved diagonally and bumped into the knight, breaking it into pieces. Lily scooped it up and placed the broken pieces on the empty seat next to her. "I'll have to ask my mum to repair it when I get home," Lily said. "I wish I could do magic now."

Now it was Layla's turn. She gave Hugo an evil grin and said, "Bishop to E6."

The Bishop moved and raised its axe to cut the Queen in two pieces. "Ha!" Layla announced. "I'm better than you."

"You only won because you helped Lily," Hugo replied. "It wasn't a fair game. I'll challenge you one-on-one anytime."

"Hey!" Connor said. "Lily and I aren't that bad at chess!"

"You're pretty bad," Hugo said. "No offense."

Lily laughed and leaned against the window again. "Are you two going to play chess now?" she asked. "I can go ask Fred to repair the pieces if you want."

"Thanks, Lily," Layla said, handing her the broken pieces. Lily held them in her arms as she walked down the empty corridor of the Hogwarts' Express. She knocked on the compartment containing Fred with her elbow, since her hands were so full.

"Hi, Lily," Oliver said, opening the compartment door. "Do you need some help?"

"Can you just repair them?" Lily asked. "Before I drop them."

"Yeah, no problem," Oliver replied, waving his wand and saying a non-verbal repair charm. The chess pieces reformed themselves quickly.

"Thanks," Lily said.

"No problem," Oliver answered. "You only have six more years until you can do that too."

Lily laughed and returned to her own compartment. It was true; she'd have six more years at Hogwarts. Her eldest brother would be able to do magic in a month or so, and he'd only have one more year at Hogwarts. Lily wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. But right now, she was glad she had such a long time left to stay at school; going out into the real world looked scary.


Lucy watched as Louis sighed deeply, rubbing his eyes. "What's the matter?" she asked, though she was pretty sure she knew what the answer was.

"I miss her already," Louis replied, sinking into his seat.

"Francine?"

Louis nodded. Since the Yule Ball, Louis had been spending much of his time with Francine, doing what, Lucy didn't want to know.

"Well, you'll see her next year," Lorcan said.

"What?" Louis sat up. "Really? When?"

"You know, the gathering of animals," Lorcan replied. "It's bound to happen soon. And everyone will be around."

Lucy and Louis avoided looking at each other. Louis just sighed again and closed his eyes.

"It can't be that bad," Lucy said, trying to help her cousin. "I mean, I've had to leave my family or a friend for a while."

"Yeah, but that's different," Louis replied. "You've never been in love before."

Lucy snorted. "In love? I doubt you were in love."

"Well, you know what I mean," Louis said. "Wait, you don't. You've never gone out with somebody before."

Lucy shook her head, but didn't say anything. Anyway, Louis didn't seem like he wanted to argue further.

"So…" Lysander said. "Now that you two are done arguing, do you want any food? The Food Trolley's here."

Lucy nodded and took out a few sickles and passed them to the witch in return for a few chocolate frogs and pumpkin pasties, her favorites. She offered one to Louis, but he declined.

"Come on, Louis," Lysander said. "It's summer time! It's not a time to be depressed. There's a bright future ahead! You get to see your family again. Or send letters to your friends. Or just do nothing at all."

"He's right," Lucy told Louis. "Stop moping. I'm not going to feel sorry for you when there's nothing devastating that happened. If it were like your mom died or something like that, then I would understand. But just leaving a friend… really?"

"Yeah," Lysander agreed. "You're my best mate! Cheer up! You've never been so down before."

Louis groaned. "Fine. Lucy, pass me a frog."

Lucy tossed a chocolate frog to Louis and he opened the wrapper. "Helga Hufflepuff," he read as he nibbled on a corner of his frog. " 'One of the co-founders of Hogwarts. Her namesake is given to Hufflepuff House of Hogwarts.' I don't have her card yet; I'll keep it."

"Can I trade?" Lucy asked. "I got Newt Scamander – I already have him, but you don't."

Louis shook his head. "Helga's rarer."

"Fine then," Lucy said, pocketing her card. "I'm the one who has the rest of the Chocolate Frogs, so you don't get any."

"It's so weird having relatives who have their own chocolate frogs," Lysander said. "I wonder what it would be like having a normal life for a change."

"It would be so dull," Louis replied. "No drama or excitement."

"I think I've had enough excitement," Lucy said. "This year was the most dramatic so far. The Triwizard Tournament, that room that we found during the Yule Ball…"

"The what?" Louis asked.

"Never mind," Lysander answered quickly. "But this year was the best. It's the middle of our whole school experience; it definitely was the best."

"Yeah," Lucy agreed. "But you mean the best so far. Next year's going to be even better. We'll be fifth years! We'll get to be prefects!"

"I already know who's going to become a prefect," Louis replied. "You and Lorcan for Gryffindor, definitely. Nobody else would qualify."

"Yeah, definitely not you," Lucy answered. "You've caused too much trouble."

"What, me? No way." Louis put on an innocent look.

Lucy laughed. "Anyway, next year's going to be amazing."


"Are you okay?" Rose asked. "You seem down."

"No, I'm fine…" Scorpius replied. "I was just thinking."

"Ever since you got back from the Ministry you've been like this," Rose said.

"What really happened?" Albus asked. The three of them and a couple of other Gryffindor third years were sitting together in a compartment, but the other third-years had left to go visit some friends. It was just Albus, Rose, and Scorpius right now.

"Well, apparently Dad didn't have anything to do with the whole kidnapping," Scorpius answered. "But your dad wasn't sure. He said that Dad could have been lying, since he knows Occulmency and all that."

"Hmm," Albus said thoughtfully. "When I get home, I'm going to ask Dad if he can teach me Occulmency. It seems really cool."

Rose snorted. "You learning Occulmency. Do you even know what it is?"

"It's like mind-reading, isn't it?" Albus asked, defensive.

"No, it's different. And it takes a lot of effort and training to learn. Uncle Harry couldn't even learn it until he was out of school."

"Well, then I'll make him teach me something else," Albus said. "You know what? We should start learning more magic on our own next year. It would be fun."

Rose grinned. "Yeah. Sort of like what Dad and Uncle Harry did when they were little. The only problem is that we don't know many spells."

"That's why we learn!" Albus said. "You know, use a book or something like that to learn."

"I think I'll just go home and read up on spells," Rose replied. She turned to Scorpius, who was staring at the window in silence. "What's wrong? You're zoning out again."

"Sorry," Scorpius said.

"You know, you can tell us," Rose said. "We're your friends. What's bothering you?"

Scorpius sighed. "This whole summer." He paused, and stared out the window. "Okay. I lied to you two. About sending a letter to my Dad."

"You what?" Rose asked in shock.

Scorpius told them about that and talking to his father at the Ministry. When he was done, Rose was shocked.

"Well, why don't you stay with me or Albus over the summer instead?" Rose asked. "Your dad can't treat you like that. Did you tell Harry?"

Scorpius shook his head. "Look, I appreciate you trying to make me feel better, but it's fine. I realized the only way I'll be able to solve all this is if I actually stand up to my dad. So I'm going to spend the summer at home. I don't care what he says. I'll still manage to send letters to you two even if my dad says no. I just hope he doesn't lock up my owl or… or kill him or something like that."

"He wouldn't kill an owl!" Rose said in horror, but Albus and Scorpius started laughing. "How is that funny?" Rose asked.

"Just forget it," Albus said, still laughing. Rose rolled her eyes, but couldn't help smiling. The two of them were such boys.


The Hogwarts Express rolled into Kings Cross, and, with a short hiss, came to a stop. The crowd of students piled off of the train and ran towards their waiting parents.

James, Fred, and Oliver were one of the last few off the train. James had just seen his whole family last night—all the adults had apparated back home after the Goodbye Feast—so he wasn't as excited as the other students. Still, he was glad to be back home. The year had been a busy one.

"Hey, James!" shouted a voice from down in Kings Cross. James looked and saw Joseph Adams, a fellow sixth year—well, they were really seventh years now—holding something up at him.

James made his way through the crowd. "Hi Joseph," he said. "What's that?"

"They wrote an article in the Daily Prophet about you," he responded. "You can have it if you want."

"Thanks," James said, looking down at the newspaper as he walked over to his friends. "Fred! Oliver! Look at this!"

The two of them came through the crowd. "What?" Oliver asked, but James gave him the newspaper in response.

"Triwizard Tournament comes to a tie again," Oliver read out loud.

"Two days ago, the Triwizard Tournament came out to a tie between Anton Rosencrantz of Durmstrang Academy and James Potter of Hogwarts School. According to Rosencrantz, he was right next to the Triwizard Cup when Potter ran out and jinxed him. Then they dueled for a while until both of them were out of breath, and decided to take the Cup for a tie. Apparently Potter agreed to give Rosencrantz 90% of the winnings, while he only took 100 galleons of the 1000 galleon prize, to give to research at St. Mungo's.

" 'That was a really brave move,' said a source who wishes to remain anonymous, of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. '1000 galleons is a large prize, and to give it all up is hard.'

"1000 galleons is a lot. Potter was chivalrous to give it up to Rosencrantz, who, unlike him, was not famous and rich. Aimee Caron, the third champion, came in last, and did not win anything, but was honored."

Oliver stopped reading and looked up. "Wow, they're biased."

James nodded. "They didn't mention anything about Guillory or the kidnapping."

"Or you using Fiendyfire," Fred added.

"I don't think Rosencrantz told them," James replied. "I have to thank him for that. Fiendyfire's dark magic; I'd be in trouble."

"Well, this magazine definitely portrays you as the hero," Fred said. "Did you see this quote? 'That was a really brave move.' Sure, giving up 900 galleons when you have 10 times that amount at home is a brave move."

"Shut it, Fred," James said, but he was laughing. "Oh well. This article just made my day."

"Well, now you'll be remembered for something other than being the son of Harry Potter," Oliver said. "Now, you and Rosencrantz both will have eternal glory for winning the Tournament, but you'll have more since you bravely gave up 900 galleons."

The three of them walked through the crowd toward their parents, talking about summer and their plans. "Hey, Dad," James said, seeing his father, already with Lily and Albus.

Harry smiled at his eldest son. "Congratulations again. Did you see the article in The Daily Prophet?"

James nodded. "Yeah. But they left out a lot of details."

"They've always been biased, even at the last Triwizard Tournament." As his father said that, a shadow of memory crossed across his face, and he seemed glum for a minute. But then it disappeared. "Well, they got one thing right," he continued. "You'll definitely get eternal glory for the rest of your life."

"Thanks dad," James replied. "So are we leaving?"

Harry nodded. "Yep. We're going home."

And the family went through the wall and back to Kings' Cross, and began walking toward home.

THE END


I hoped you like this whole story and this chapter too!

So the sequel's going to be up soon. I'll put a link in this story so you can all find it easily. It's going to be about this generation's next year - James's seventh year, Rose's fourth, etc. There's still going to be adventure (they'll probably investigate about the whole Guillory kidnapping thing), and there might be a little romance too (just a little! I'm not too good at writing it). James IS in his seventh year, after all. And there'll be action. This chapter has some clues as to what the next year will be like.

So thank you all one last time. A story isn't a story unless people read it.
THE END!
