Epilogue

It was a month later, Harry and Severus had settled into their new home in Ireland. Molly and Ron Weasley had been sent to Azkaban, Ron for 5 years for his part in taking Severus, Molly had received the Dementors kiss for the use of the Unforgivable curses on Severus and the muggle in Paris. It had also been uncovered that Arthur, George and Ginny had become wise to what Molly and Ron had been planning, they were going to tell Harry, but before they got the chance, Molly wiped their memories and apparated them to somewhere in Scotland. Charlie Weasley had told the Minister that his family never came to Romania; it was just a ploy to get at Harry. He and his brother Bill were now looking for the rest of his family. Hermione had decided to leave England when she graduated hoping to take up the position of Ancient Runes Professor at the Academy.

Dean and Seamus returned to Ireland and like Severus and Harry was settling back into a normal life. Dean had proposed to Seamus, he readily accepted. Severus and Harry talked about family and getting married, they had made the decision to wait a while, they wanted to travel first and see the world. Harry had taken sometime away from the Academy, finishing his apprenticeship; he wanted to wait before pursuing another avenue. Severus had taken over the running of the Apothecary in the Celtic Village; he had someone that was going to take care of the day to day running of the shop, as he wanted to spend time with Harry.

Right now Harry was snuggled on the couch between Severus' legs lying on his chest, his lover's arms around his waist. The fire was crackling Christmas was not far away. They were spending Christmas today together than Christmas night having dinner with their friends. "I love you my darling Harry" "I love you my darling Sev"

The end.
