A/N: Added bonus to Christina Auiglera fans: Turn your CDs to #11 while the credits are rolling and the epilogue is in full swing!
No one ever said that Love was gonna be easy
Gotta take the ups and downs
The in-betweens
If you take this journey
Gotta give yourself completely
Never let anybody ever step on a dream
You better stop
Listen to these words I say
You better stop
Don't you throw this good thing away no no
Put your trust in me
And I'll make you see
CHORUS: No the rain won't last forever
Find a way to make it better
Long as we can stand together Love will find a way
Gonna make a new tomorrow
Say good-bye to tears and sorrow
Better listen when I say
Love will find a way
Somebody tried to tell me love don't last forever
Said it only happens in your wildest dreams
After all is said and done
We're still here together
Never listen to the lies and jealousy
You better stop
Don't you let them turn you around
You better stop
Hang onto this love that we've found
Nothing that they say
Can stand in our way
(Chorus)
I want you I need you
You know that I believe you
We got it
You know it
So if it's real
Just show it baby
I want you
I need you
You know that
I believe you
We got it
You know it
So if it's real just show it

Katherine, marvelous in ivory silk made her way down an isle decked in purple sprays of lilacs. She was shaking slightly. Under the wedding canopy everything looked so much different. Harry caught her eye and she smiled at him. Harry too looked incredibly nervous. He didn't realize he was grinning like a fool, but he was and Katherine smiled when she saw him truly happy. (Did she realize she was grinning like a fool too?) His hair was neatly parted and for once it wasn't crazy. He looked positively gorgeous.
The Rabbi (A/N: yes you read me correctly. I said RABBI! I never said that Kat was Christian, did I? No, you're right! I didn't think so! Plus nobody has ever really specified Harry's religion either. ) turned around and they dropped their arms and separated.
The Rabbi started to read the ceremony off and Katherine began to do her part by circling around Harry several times as he read. As it wore on they exchanged vows and then both sipped from a goblet of wine. (A/N: So sue me if some of this isn't correct, I haven't been to a wedding in ages…) The Rabbi said one more thing and put the empty goblet of wine in a pouch and put it on the ground.
With a determined look on his face, Harry brought his foot up and stomped down (with a nice crunch) on the glass. The wedding was over. They were married. Hoots of congratulations came from the very large audience (and press) and (A/N: I had to add this, even if it isn't tradition) Harry, with one movement had Katherine in his arms and he kissed her. The press was very pleased and so was the photographer so they held the stance for a little while for them.
Katherine excepted her baby from Hermione and Lavender and Parvati who gave Harry hugs and stained his tuxedo with their running eye makeup bombarded Harry.
"Beautiful wedding!" People kept saying when they greeted the newlyweds.
"I suppose I can't tell you not to touch my daughter anymore, eh?" Sirius joked.
"I suppose not." Harry said, beaming.
"Damn."
"Daddy, watch your language." Katherine snapped.
"You called me 'Daddy.'" Sirius said, a mix of excited and confused.
"Yeah, I'm in a good mood." Katherine said.
"I think we all our." Harry said.
"Well Harry." A reporter had finally found him. "What do you plan to do now that you're married, have a child, killed you-know-who and cleared Sirius Black's name?" ((A/N: I forgot to add that part into the normal series. Harry, finally free to do how he wanted to do things, cleared Sirius's name))
"Hmm." Harry said. "Get a job?"
~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~* ~*
And so they lived happily ever after…or did they? (And I'm only talking about people who had a little effect in my story, including Picture of Temptation)
Colin Creevy: Forgave Harry immediately for torturing him and now boasts about it. He is currently working on the Knight Bus.
Parvati Patil: Took Professor Trelawny's place at Hogwarts
Lavender Brown: Is eagerly trying to steal Parvati's job.
Neville: Works with Colin
Cho: Gets into a Quidditch team by sleeping with the manager and gets kicked off when under "new Management."
Sirius: Remains single, gets a job teaching DADA at Hogwarts and lasts more than one year.
Remus: The only known seller of Wolfsbane. Ever.
Dumbledore: Was the oldest Headmaster to ever remain at Hogwarts. He retired when he died at age 149. His ghost makes sure the castle is still in order.
Hermione and Ron: The odd couple! They are engaged to be engaged. They still bicker.
Jamea: Is growing up to be a tall young man, looking (cute) like his father, only with Katherine's nose and her eyesight.
Amelia: Took over as team captain when Harry did graduate and became an Auror in her later years.
Voldemort: Is (hopefully) rotting in an unmarked grave.
Harry and Katherine: Well, you know what happened to them! ((Grins mischievously))
A/N: I won't bore you with long lists of thank you notes, but I DO want to thank you all for reviewing/reading my story when it was in progress. It's a real self-esteem boost when I get reviews like the ones you guys are hailing me with! I really do appreciate it, and I will write personal notes to anybody who leaves an e-mail address. I love getting mail and I don't mind answering any questions. ((hint, hint)) A couple of you have asked about what happens to Jamea, and I'm considering a short story dedicated to the little kid. We'll see what happens, tell me if you would want to see that!?
Thanks again guys!

P.S.- I just wanted a little variety when I made it a Jewish wedding, please dont be mean to me about it. I mean Kat is a different person, why cant she have a DIFFERENT religion, eh? So sont mind that she's Jewish and Harry is most likely Christian. It is a happy ending!!!!!
