Moving Forward ch29
The epilogue.
Harry Potter sat at the head table at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. As he sat there he looked forward to Teddy's sorting, He figured Teddy would go to Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. The family though he'd be a Gryffindor. Teddy was very protective of Violet who he thought of as a little sister. He'd be a puff.
This was Harry's third year of teaching part-time and he loved it. During the summer Professor Flitwick had announced his retirement for the end of this year. Harry would become the full-time charms professor next year.
Lavender was pregnant again, this time with twins. Harry was happy for more children but felt bad for his wife who was really suffering though this pregnancy. Between throwing up and her nearly constant need to pee, she was lucky to get two hours of sleep at any given time. Then she also had to look after Violet while he was at work. Tonight he would give her a foot rub and run her a bubble bath. Maybe if he silenced the room she could get a little sleep.
Just before the feast began Harry was informed he would be taking on a new challenge he didn't think he was qualified for. Professor Slughorn had retired again last year and Professor Sinistra didn't want the job. So the damned sorting hat picked him.
The sorting was starting. Harry listened and watched. He recognized many of the surnames and a few of the kids from Snidget league quidditch. Finally it was Teddy's turn.
…
…
Seems Teddy is a hat stall just like Harry was.
…
"Better be Hufflepuff!"
Harry clapped and whooped with the Hufflepuffs and gave a relieved looking Teddy a thumbs up.
"Welcome first years and welcome back to you older students. I have a few announcements to make before we begin the feast. The forbidden forest is forbidden for all students. There are many dangerous creatures in there including spiders the size of a horse. Please do not go in there. There is a list of banned items on our new custodian Mr. Bundera's door located on the third floor opposite the Charms corridor.
Professor Slughorn retired last year as such please let me introduce our new potions master Professor Igor Vincelli. And taking over as Head of House for Slytherin Professor Harry Potter!"

It's been fun folks. Thank you for your overwhelming response to this story. If you liked this check out my other stories, I'd suggest the Wandering series. Southern Bell's ending is awful. If you have a scene that you really think I should have covered in the epilogue leave a review. Thanks for reading. See you next time.
