AN : I think maybe some people were expecting a longer epilogue, but I think it's best to leave it this way. Who knows, if I keep writing mushy scenes, I might get permanently stuck that way - hmm, maybe that's not such a bad thing . . . I'll be sticking to standalone stories for a while, but I might begin another series soon. I hope all of you keep reading them. =) I finally typed up a thank you list, yes I did! If I missed anybody out, I'm sorry, and remember, reviews are always a good thing.

_____________
Harry worked as a Professor of Defense Against The Dark Arts in Hogwarts for a good many years, alongside his former teachers, the only one of any importance being Professor Severus Snape. They never learnt to be friends, civil, cooperative co-workers, or anything else and Harry got used to being turned into a frog and other amphibian/ reptilian animals after taking a sip of pumpkin juice in the evenings. Likewise, Snape got used to having Bogarts leap out of his Potions closet. Harry remained single, and after Snape had retired, he became Headmaster of Hogwarts, replacing Dumbledore's immediate successor. Until his death, he was a frequent and welcomed visitor of the Malfoy family. In his will, he left the bulk of his property to Ginny Malfoy, and legacies to Ron and Hermione Weasley.
Ron became a Chessmaster and opened an Indoor Games School, which proved very popular amongst teenage wizards and witches. He married Hermione two years after Ginny had married Draco, and their wedding was one of the biggest ever recorded. Hermione kept on writing textbooks for the Ministry of Magical Education, and eventually became the Minister of Magical Education. They had seven children, two of whom eventually surpassed their mother's academic record, and one who reinvented the word Chess.
Draco inherited the Chairmanship of the Malfoy business, and Ginny remained a housewife. They had eight children. The eldest had white hair, and the rest red. They remained deeply in love and lust for the rest of their days, and when they died, they were buried together.
Charlie Weasley married a nice young witch who apprenticed under Madam Rosmerta at the Three Broomsticks. He remained a dragon handler, and in his spare time, he crossbred dragons and Hippogriffs. They had many children - Charlie and his wife, not the dragons and Hippogriffs.
Percy Weasley did for the Magic community what King Chulalongkorn did for Siam. He completely reorganised the government and was recorded in history as one of the most revolutionary Ministers who ever existed. He married in his late thirties, a plump yellow-haired woman who'd been a strip club dancer in her younger days.
Molly and Arthur Weasley eventually had forty seven grandchildren.
Frances Goodheart (Fickle Fran) remained single, except for a brief interlude with a wealthy businessman who died before they could marry. It was rumored that she had opened a brothel, and certainly she had a lot of money that she refused to explain how she had come by. Unfortunately for the authorities, they were unable to ever sniff out the location of said brothel.
Caroline Shander (Coy Connie) eventually married Neville Longbottom, and they had three children, all female. She remained good friends with Fran.
Crabbe and Goyle remained inseparable, and eventually climbed to great heights in the Gringotts hierarchy. In their late forties, a rumor began to circulate about their sexual orientation. It eventually died down. They did, however, remain unattached.
The End.
