Epilogue
'So, what did they do with You-Know-Who?' said a red headed boy.
'Come on, Ron,' said a girl with brown hair who was sitting on a black harried boy's lap. 'You've met him, saw how pathetic he is and you still call him 'You-Know-Who'?'
'Sorry,' said the boy called Ron. 'Force of a habit. Anyway, what did they do to him?'
'He's locked up in a muggle prison for the insane,' said the black harried boy. 'That way if he ever regains continuousness there would be nothing he would be able to do, and there is no fear for the muggles to find out about us, whatever he would say, they would think he's mad.'
'Owe, O.K.,' said Ron.
The small group was sitting in the castle's garden. Enjoying the beautiful day of May.
'Wait a moment,' said a black harried girl who was sitting in Ron's lap. 'Wait a moment, Harry. I just remembered something. Why did you take the Maruder's Map with you when you left? Wouldn't it have been better if you left it with Hermione here?'
It was the first time since the defeat of Voldemort that the four friends had time to sit together and talk. First because Harry and Hermione were too busy catching up with each other and then because of their exams. Now it was all over and they were just sitting and talking.
Harry pulled Hermione closer to him.
'I took it,' he said. 'Because I wanted to know how things were going on in here. I wanted to be able to know if Hermione was in danger or not before it was too late.
'I came in time because I saw Voldemort dragging Dumbledore down those passages just before breakfast.'
'And not a moment too late,' said Hermione and kissed Harry on his cheek.
Harry was about to kiss her back, but Ron had interrupted them.
'Stop,' he said. 'Time for that later. I have only one more question.
When Hermione told us that you told her you loved her. she said to you that she didn't love you, right?'
Hermione nodded with a slight grin.
'Why did you lie?' Cho finished Ron's thoughts.
'I didn't lie,' said Hermione. 'When he told me he loved me I told him I didn't.'
'Then, a week later,' said Harry. 'Dudley had insulted her and I happened to be there to comfort her.'
'We kissed,' continued Hermione. 'And the rest is history.'
'And non of your business,' added Harry. 'I think it was the first time Dudley did something useful.'
Hermione smacked Harry playfully on the shoulder.
'Are you satisfied now?' Harry asked Ron.
'Yes, you can kiss now,' answered Ron.
'Thank you.' And with that Harry pulled Hermione even closer to him and kissed her.
Following their example, Ron and Cho did too.
The End!
