Chapter 35:

Epilogue

Nineteen Years Later…

What happened after the end of the Second Wizarding War was history--literally.

Harry and Ginny got married--go figure. Harry had entered the Auror Department almost immediately after the N.E.W.T.s were over with. Not that the Ministry would really care about the Boy Who Lived's scores. Everyone knew he'd earned it. By 2007, he'd been promoted to the Head of the Auror Office. Ginny had played Quidditch professionally for the Holyhead Harpies before she and Harry got married. She retired after the marriage and became the Daily Prophet's senior Quidditch correspondent. They'd had three children (from oldest to youngest): James Sirius (who was just as mischievous as the two that he'd been named for), Albus Severus (who was named for Hogwarts' old headmaster and one of the bravest men Harry'd ever met, according to Harry), and Lily Luna (who was named for Harry's mother and one of Ginny's best and oldest friends).

Ron and Hermione also got married. Ron joined Harry in the Auror Department, after he had temporarily worked with Fred and George in Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes. Hermione obtained a high ranking job in the Ministry quickly, first in the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, where she continued her work with "S.P.E.W.", until she transferred to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, eradicating old, biased laws in favor of pure-bloods. She and Ron had two children: Rose and Hugo.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and I were featured on chocolate frog cards for our accomplishments, and we'd each received Orders of Merlin, First Class, which were awarded to all members of the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore's Army, if they fought in the Battle of Hogwarts.

Fred and George Weasley continued to manage Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes, continuing to give people a reason to laugh. In the end, they did buy Zonko's Joke Shop, making it a Hogsmeade branch of their flourishing company. They still have the original "You-Know-Who / U-No-Poo" posters, framed, hanging up in their shop. Many younger children love to look and laugh at it, a small piece of history.

Neville Longbottom and Hannah Abbott got married. Neville originally started out as an Auror, but he retired quickly, and instead became the Hogwarts Herbology professor. He and Hannah live above the Leaky Cauldron, of which Hannah is the Land Lady. Neville shows his students the Dumbledore's Army false Galleons and photos often, telling them stories about the war to their delight.

Luna Lovegood became a very famous wizarding naturalist. She married her fellow naturalist, Rolf Scamander, a good while after the others were married. She had two sons: Lorcan and Lysander. She remained in touch with the rest of us, too. She also seemed to accept that some creatures, such as the Crumple-Horned Snorkack, were not real, but she remained as eccentric and open-minded as ever.

As to my parents, I visited them once in a while in Azkaban, much to their dismay. Needless to say, they still hate me.

Meanwhile, Edward and I got married. All of my friends—Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville, the Weasleys, and others—came, as well as Dumbledore, McGonagall, and several other Hogwarts professors. Many of the Cullens' vampire friends came as well.

Edward changed me shortly afterwards. I had an uncanny control for a newborn, so I could see my friends. As a vampire, I could still use my magic. And, if anything, it was stronger. I could also control a mental shield, which I could use to completely block out Legilimens. Another attribute of the shield was that it could be expanded or completely removed from me. When someone was trying to use Legilimency on me, I could feed them false images or thoughts. It was incredibly useful.

And the damn famed scar did not heal, unlike all other scars and blemishes that had previously been on my skin. Of course. I think it did that on purpose--just to annoy me.

Anyways, I did many jobs over the years.

After overcoming the bloodlust, which was only two months, I was trained as an Auror. During that time, Rosalie and Emmett went on a honeymoon, Alice and Jasper and Carlisle and Esme were all volunteering in St. Mungo's, and Edward was training as an Auror with me.

After a few years as an Auror, I was working in the Wizengamot. They actually surprised me by the invitation to join, but I eagerly accepted.

Eventually, after a few more years, I stepped down from my position, although the Wizengamot still called on me to come for larger trials, such as those for captured Death Eaters or Dark Wizards and Witches.

I worked numerous jobs, each unique and important in its own way.

I never found one I truly loved. Being an Auror and Hit-Wizard was as close as I got…so far.

Today is my first day at my new job: Hogwarts D.A.D.A. Professor.

Voldemort was gone, and all his Death Eaters, too.

Mostly, everyone had lived, including Harry and I. I'd never expected that, but did not regret it for a moment.

Everyone was together and happy. My family and friends were safe.

Everything was truly perfect.

The End.

A/N:

Wow, the end. Its been a long time since I first began this story...wow.

You guys amaze me. I asked for a total of 1050 review before I posted this, and, last I checked, I had 1068!

You guys are all the best readers I could possibly ask for. Thank you. I treasure every review--I read every one, too.

Okay, for those who asked, a Prequel is pretty much the opposite of a sequel--its what happens before this story begins. My sequel would be Bella's past.

I've decided to post them at the same time, though I've pretty much finished the prequel, so that will be updated faster.

HERE are some questions that will be answered in the Prequel:

- Who rescued Bella from her parents--and how?

- Why was she at the Potters when Voldemort attacked?

- Where did she go afterwards?

- How did she, Harry, Hermione, and Ron meet?

- How did she find out about her parents and how did she meet them?

- What, exactly, caused her clumsiness?

- How, exactly, did she affect the natural course of events in the Harry Potter universe?

Mwa ha ha. Those are simply teasers. Oh look--7. Tee hee.

Well, I hope to see you guys with my Prequel and Sequel--BOTH OF WHICH WILL BE UNDER HARRY POTTER AND TWILIGHT CROSSOVERS.

And, warning. No Cullens in Prequel.

Please review one last time.

Thanks for reading and not giving up on me. Thank you.

Thank you.

*sniffle*

The End.
