Epilogue
Hogwarts started changing for the best with the ideas that Harry and Lily came up with. Harry and Gabby continued dating for several more years, and a month after graduating from Hogwarts, he proposed to Gabby while vacationing in Paris, in the living room of Delacour Manor, then they married a couple weeks after Harry's nineteenth birthday. They eventually had twin boys, one of them was an exact clone of Harry, so Harry and Gabby named the first twin Harry James Potter II, and the other twin boy was named Orion Remus Potter. A couple years after that, Harry and Gabby became parents to twin girls, named Lucille Gabriella Potter and Lillian Ginevra Potter. Harry also went on to become a potioneer, determined to follow in his mother's footsteps, while Gabby went on to become a dancer.
Neville eventually proposed to Luna in the summer before his final year at Hogwarts, and she happily accepted. In July after Luna graduated, she and Neville married at Longbottom Manor. Neville eventually became the Hogwarts herbology teacher after Professor Sprout retired, while Luna became a magizoologist. They eventually had one daughter, named Victoria Alice Longbottom.
After graduating from Beauxbatons, Fleur moved to London to be closer to Bill. After saving up some money, they eventually purchased and moved into Shell cottage. A year and a half after that, Bill proposed to Fleur, who accepted. 15 months later, they were married, and they eventually had three children named Victoire, Dominique and Louis. Bill continued his job as a curse-breaker at Gringotts while Fleur managed to find a job there.
Dean Thomas kept in touch with Kassandra and would occasionally visit her. They began dating shortly after Dean finished his sixth year. A year later, Dean propsed to Kassandra and she accepted, then another year later, they married and they moved to Sydney, Australia. They had yet to decide on having children, but were thinking about it.
Fred, George and Lee eventually opened up a joke shop, called Weasley's Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley sometime after graduating. Harry donated 5,000 galleons to help them get started ahead of time. In return, they allowed Harry to help himself to any of their products, free of charge, though Harry refused, having had more than enough money. So instead, Harry opted to donate some money to Weasley Wizard Wheezes from time to time. Fred, George and Lee also started dating Daphne, Tracey and Tori respectively, and the three Slytherin girls were also offered jobs at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, and they happily accepted. Eventually, Fred, George and Lee proposed to their respective girlfriends, and soon, married them. They continued working for Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, then they eventually bought Zonko's joke shop in Hogsmeade, so they could expand. Daphne, Tracey and Tori kept an eye on the Hogsmeade chain while Fred, George and Lee remained at the one in Diagon Alley, occasionally taking turns. Neither had any children, but were discussing the idea.
Oliver eventually began dating Kassidy, which went on for three years before Oliver proposed to her, and she happily accepted. Even after having married Kassidy, Oliver continued playing quidditch for United Puddlemere, with Kassidy eventually becoming the commentator. Three years into their marriage, Kassidy revealed to Oliver that she was pregnant with a girl. Eventually, their daughter was born, who they named Olivia.
Charlie still continued his career as a dragonologist in Romania. He never married, as he was more interested in his passion for his career. Nevertheless, that didn't stop him from bonding with his nieces and nephew (Bill and Fleur's children) every chance he got. He also bonded with Harry and Gabby's children as well, and any children any of his friends had.
Ginny and Viktor also stayed in touch and continued dating. Ginny eventually played on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, with her skills continuing to get better. She was so good that she was beginning to get scouted by various coaches of different professional quidditch teams. Since Viktor continued to play for Bulgaria, Ginny ultimately chose that team over the Holyhead Harpies. The day after the big victory over Peru, Viktor proposed to Ginny, who accepted. Two and a half years into their marriage, Ginny became pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. They named their son Dominick, and their daughter Myla.
Cedric and Cho continued dating for the rest of their education days. Four years after Cho graduated, Cedric proposed to her, and she accepted. A year after marrying, they decided to play professional quidditch, playing for the German national team. They didn't have any children.
Neither Alicia, nor Katie ever married. They eventually received N.E.W.T. grades in charms and transfiguration respectively. Pansy eventually became smitten with Adrian Pucey, who was a Slytherin quidditch chaser. While they eventually married, they never had any children. Pansy went on to study animals, while Adrian also pursued a career in professional quidditch. Remus eventually started dating a lady named Nymphadora Tonks, who preferred to be called by her surname, and she was an auror. They eventually married and had a son named Teddy.
Upon starting their first year, Liliana was sorted into Ravenclaw, Serena was sorted into Gryffindor (just like her father), while Alaina was sorted in Hufflepuff (just like her mother). Like Harry, Liliana was also passionate with potions. She, too was determined to follow in her mother's footsteps, something which impressed Severus. Serena was passionate with transfiguration, which Sirius was impressed with, seeing his daughter attempting to follow in his footsteps. Alaina was also passionate in following her mother's footsteps in working for the Ministry of Magic.
Professor McGonagall was also happy to see the new changes coming to Hogwarts. The 'jinx' on the Defence Against The Dark Arts job turned out to be, yet another misdirection caused by Albus Too-Many-Names Dumbledore, but now that was no longer a problem. Tom, Remus and Sirius enjoyed teaching the subject jointly. James had fun teaching Transfiguration, while Lily enjoyed teaching potions alongside Severus. Though he was still a little nervous around Liliana, Severus eventually became more and more comfortable in her presence. Professor Flitwick continued teaching charms for seven more years before retiring.
Narcissa Malfoy (who eventually went back to her maiden name) was forgiven by Sirius and welcomed back into House Black. She divorced Lucius and disowned Draco shortly after their respective incarcerations started. Narcissa also got Malfoy Manor sold (since her ex-husband and ex-son weren't going to reenter society anytime soon), and 25% of the money she received from selling the manor went to donations at St. Mungo's hospital.
Vernon Dursley didn't last more than six weeks in prison. His child abusing inevitably leaked out to the other inmates. One day in the prison showers, Vernon was killed when another inmate snapped his neck, who told Vernon's corpse that child abusers are despicable, then wiped away the evidence. Likewise, Petunia and Marge suffered similar fates when their child abusing crimes became known to the other female inmates.
Dudley and his gang members were dreading every second in juvie. On three occasions, Piers tried escaping, only to get caught and returned, with his sentence getting extended. Dennis tried starting a riot in order to get out, only to be placed in solitary confinement. Dudley ended up having to be placed in protective custody after the other juvenile offenders found out about him being the ringleader to beat up his then much smaller cousin.
During their sentences, most of the Harry haters were coming to accept that their actions got them into their predicaments. They realized, the hard way, that they threw away something promising. Still, they knew that they were responsible for their actions. Crabbe and Goyle were simply neutral about theirs. Bletchley and Flint also dreaded their sentences, and yet, they never would acknowledge that they did wrong. Hermione hated her sentence to the max, to the point where she continued holding her grudge against Harry, thus making her more and more bitter. She would never come to terms of her actions, even though she knew that payback was a bitch.
Albus Dumbledore also found his sentence to be dreadful. He never could come to grips as to how his plans had crumbled beneath his feet. Albus also lost all of his achievements and Order of Merlin awards as a result of his sentence. Lucius and Dolores had their sentences extended, due to a futile attempt to escape. The goblins were not the kind of creatures that should be messed with, and Lucius and Dolores found that out the hard way.
Magical Britain was becoming a better place, for once. All the laws favouring pure-bloods were repealed, making it easier for half-bloods, muggleborns, beasts, half-beasts and veela to find jobs in the wizarding Britain. Now, employment in the Ministry of Magic required N.E.W.T. grades for whichever department they wanted to work for, as well as pass several tests, just to make sure they weren't in league with any dark wizards. Eventually, the number of jobs were given to those earned it, not out of favouritism. Things in Magical Britain were finally beginning to look up.
The End!
