Chapter 13

Disclaimer: This is the last chapter of The Beginning of the End. And the last time that I'm telling that the HP characters do not belong to me.

Soon it was time for the wedding. Harry was getting his tie on and thinking about Hermione. James looked at his son. "Well, at least you're not as nervous as I was when I got married." He chuckled. Harry grinned. "I love her, Dad. And everything." James chuckled. "I know how you feel. I felt the same way about your mother when I met her." Then together they went out to the Weasley's garden, where the wedding would be held. Elderly Mrs Weasley kissed Barry on the cheek when she saw him. "Congratulations, Harry. Everything is ready. And," she winked. "Hermione looks absolutely beautiful." Harry grinned. "Do I have to wait?" he asked turning to James. James frowned. "Of course you do!" he said gruffly. Most of the staff from Hogwarts turned up to see two of brightest students get married to one another. Even Snape showed up. But he jumped when he saw James. "Potter!" he snarled. "Snape, what still don't know how to wash your hair?" James smirked. Snape went red with fury. "And why are you here?" James frowned. "Headmaster Dumbledore said I could." Snape shot back. Then Dumbledore stepped in. "I suggest you both sit down. The wedding is about to start." He said. Snape sat down while James stood beside Lily. The music started and the grooms friends walked in with the bridesmaids. Then the best man and Maid of Honor. As they took their place the music started again. Hermione walked in with Sirius. Harry's jaw dropped. Mrs Weasley was right. Hermione was beautiful. At last she was beside Harry. She smiled. He grinned. As he put on the ring Hermione's eyes filled with happiness. "You may kiss the bride." The minister said. And Harry did. The reception was beautiful. Harry smashed cake in Hermione's face so she did the same. James, Sirius, and Remus hung Snape in a tree only in his gray boxers. The Marauders roared with laughter. "To the bride and the groom. To my son and his beautiful wife. May their days together be full of love and happiness." James said loudly holding up his wineglass, when he got back. "To Harry and Hermione!" everyone shouted. Then two muggles came up. Then the music began. "May I have this dance?" Harry asked his bride. She blushed and took his hand.

We were strangers staring out on a journey, Never dreaming what we have to go through,

Hermione looked at him. "How did-" she began. "This is the song when we first kissed." Harry replied.

Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing, At the Beginning with you, No one told me I was going to find you, unexpected what you did to my heart, when I lost hope you were there to remind me, This is the start

And life is a road and I wanna keep going, love is a river I wanna keep flowing Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey, I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there when the storm is through, in the end I wanna be standing At the Beginning with you

We were strangers on a crazy adventure

Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true

Now here we stand, unafraid of the future

At the beginning with you

And life is a road that I wanna keep going

Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you

Knew there was somebody, somewhere

A new love in the dark

Now I know my dream will live on

I've been waiting so long

Nothing's gonna tear us apart

And life is a road that I wanna keep going

Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you

Yeah

Life is a road that I wanna keep going on

Love is a river, I wanna keep going

Starting out on a journey

Life is a road that I wanna keep going

Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you

As the song ended Harry and Hermione shared their first kiss as husband and wife. Suddenly they were back at Hogwarts in their 7th year. Harry held Hermione in the moonlight and they gazed into each other's eyes. Then they kissed. 10 years later Hermione died because of her injuries that followed her. But not before giving birth to two children. A boy and a girl. The boy was named Harry Eric James Potter and the girl Hermione Elizabeth Potter both 10 when she died. Harry Potter died 20 years later. His grave said, "To the boy who lived. A loving husband, a loving father, and a grandfather. Who survived by his wife Hermione Anne Potter" There standing waiting for him was his family. "Hermione." He whispered. And she was smiling with her arms opened. He ran into her arms. "I've missed you. But you're here now." Hermione whispered. Harry smiled. "I've missed you too. I love you." Lily, James, Remus, and Sirius looked at them happily. Then they embraced like at their wedding all those years ago. Harry breathed again. It was The Beginning of the End but the start of a new one.

The End.

Oh by the way when James met the Dursleys he cursed them. ^_^
