Chapter 18: Completely Finished
"Where are all of the other ghosts?" asked Katelyn in a whisper.
"They are in the dungeons," answered Harry. Both of them were hiding behind a statue of a witch. They had their wands ready to go if they needed them. The hall was empty except for Draco Malfoy leaning against the other wall. The students were in their dormitories.
"Where is he?" Draco asked in disgust as he looked over at Harry.
Harry held his finger to his lips to signal him to be quiet.
"Couldn't we get rid of Peeves also while we are at it?" asked Katelyn.
"No," whispered Harry, "Only Voldemort."
"Here he comes," said Katelyn pointing further down the hall. Sure enough Harry could see Tom Riddles ghost. He looked in the opposite direction and saw his father looking around the corner. James signaled someone else to come closer.
"Well, I see you have changed your mind," said Voldemort.
"Yes, sir," said Draco.
"I'm glad you came to your senses," said Voldemort, "You will be.Ahhhhhh" A dementor came from around the corner followed chased by two patronouses. One was in the shape of a deer. The other was a dog. When the dementor came near the ghost, the ghost looked like he was being sucked into a vacuum cleaner.
Then the adults came from around the corner. "Alright," said Dumbledore, "Now that that is finished, let's get that thing out of this school."
"We can handle that," said James.
That was the last they ever saw of Tom Riddle. His days of terrorizing the world were done.
One year later:
Harry stood at the front of a church. Ron was at his side. Soon the back doors of the church opened. First Hermione walked down the aisle in a long purple dress. Then, Katelyn appeared in a beautiful white dress. Sirius walked her down the aisle. An hour later Katelyn was Mrs. Harry Potter. As a wedding present the Marauders gave the two of them the deed to the shrieking shack.
"We thought you could fix it up," said James, "It has a great school nearby."
"True," said Katelyn, "Thanks."
Remus and Susan were married that year also, along with Ron and Hermione.
Twelve Years later:
Harry and Katelyn sat at the staff table in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. All of the first years stood in front of them. Harry could just hear what the students nearest him were whispering.
"Don't be silly," said Remus Lupin Jr., "Just because a Peter betrayed your grandparents does not mean we can't be friends with anyone named Peter."
"I still don't like it," said James Potter.
"Me neither," said his twin, Sirius Potter.
"Oh, well," said James we can discuss this later, "I want to see which house Marrisa is sorted into."
"Marrisa Weasley," called McGonagall. A small girl with red hair walked up and sat on a stool. The sorting hat was placed on her head. It called out "Gryffindor"
"Yes," whispered James.
The sorting hat sorted James, Remus, and Sirius into Gryffindor also.
After the sorting was over, Dumbledore stood up and said, "I have one announcement. We have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher. I hope he will be able to break our record of teachers for that class."
"I already did while I was in school," Harry said.
"May I introduce Professor Harry Potter. He has worked as an Auror for the past several years. However, he hasn't had much to do, so he agreed to teach. And now eat up."
After they had finished eating, Professor Snape walked over to Harry and Katelyn and said, "If those two are anything like your fathers, I'm retiring."
"We're going to miss you in that case," said Harry.

Finished! I'm sorry if it was rushed. I will try to do better on my next story. I already have a good idea for it. I hope you will all like that one also. Thank you to those of you who found time to review. I hope all of you can find time this time to review.
