Epilogue
================================================================
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road,
time grabs you buy the wrist, directs you where to go,
so make best of this test and don't ask why,
it's not a question but a lesson learned in time,
it's something unpredictable but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life.
Good Riddance (time of your life)
-Green Day
I am sitting on a jetty looking out on an almost too perfect ocean. I don't know where I am or even if the water lapping at my ankles is real and I don't know the name of the woman sitting next to me. But I know I want answers and I know the woman will be able to provide them.
"Did I do the right thing?" I ask, smiling as a school of fish tickle my feet.
The woman shrugs, "everything is as it should be." (sorry lone astronomer, that's your line :) )
"But did I do the right thing?"
"It is hard to tell what is right or wrong Lia. I will show you what happens and you can judge that for yourself."
I nod and the woman begins to speak.
"The potion you made worked. The dark lord Voldemort is not immortal, but he is stronger than the average human and almost impossible to kill. The side effects of your spell left him mutilated and warped beyond recognition."
I fell grim satisfaction at that. Perhaps drinking Snapes blood was worth it.
Lily and James will go on to marry after they graduate. They will have a son, Harry."
I grin inwardly as I imagine what the child will look like. Would his hair be red, or black like James?
"Voldemort will target Lily and James as possible threats and he will kill them. But because of you Harry will survive."
"I don't understand."
"Sirius will pass on the protection you left him, he will not know why he does it, but he will do it all the same. Voldemort will be unable to kill Harry because of this, indeed, the spell will backfire and he will be left a mere shadow of his former self for eleven years."
"But he will kill Lily and James?"
"That is how it must be. They will die because Peter will go on to betray them and Sirius will be blamed because Peter will frame him. Sirius will go to Azkaban for twelve years before he escapes."
"No!"
"Harry will live with his mothers sister and husband. His upbringing will be an unhappy one, but in the long run he will be better off for it. He will reunite with Sirius and Remus the future after this is uncertain."
"What do you mean, uncertain?"
"You will soon find out Lia, but you must be patient."
I'm not sure which I fell more, sadness or guilt. Because of me Lily and James would die and Sirius would spend twelve years in hell.
"But because of you," says the woman, seemingly reading my thoughts, "Voldemort will be defeated and because of you Harry will go on to achieve great things like no wizard before him. Your friends suffering will be for a reason Lia, it is not without cause."
I still have more questions, indeed, my questions seem never ending. But I have learned all I need for one day and the rest could wait.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life.
Authors note: Does that clear everything up? What I have left out, will be answered in Next time around or the sequel which is yet to be named.
Ok, as this is the end of my first series I feel the need to thank some people:
Cassie Lee, lone astronomer, topical fishy, Lily Evans, Mezza, Maverick, Danika, Amethyst (my cat's going fine :) ), Mezza, Allegria Winselvern, Jen, Jenn, Ana:), Jodie, Dreamin Angel, Staraxie, me, Jena Gea, Rowena Alana, Katie Potter, Kayara J.K.F.S.D.C Potter and heaps heaps more.
Thank you all for reviewing my fics and thank you most of all Kewl because I think you've reviewed every single part. *cheers for Kewl*
