Epilogue
By Marmalade Fever
Directly after Mildred was removed from the ring, the five Hogwarts Professors took her up to the castle and then a ministry member came and escorted her to Azkaban, where her morphing powers did absolutely nothing around Dementors. The fake Voldemorts that she had been working on were reverted back into animals and donated to the Transfiguration Department. Professor McGonagall was especially struck by their mere creation. Harry and Hermione served out the rest of the year. The following September, Hermione was promoted to full professor and Minerva McGonagall became Headmistress of Hogwarts. Albus Dumbledore retired, though continued to maintain his duties. He died twenty years later.
Hermione woke on Christmas morning one year after the incident. She was in her bed at her parents' house, having gone home for the holidays. At the foot of her bed was the usual pile of presents. After opening a few books she found a very small parcel hidden under a few stray pieces of wrapping paper. She opened it up and gasped. Inside was a sapphire and diamond encrusted ring. With a pop, Harry Potter appeared out of thin air at the end of her bed.
"Hermione," the nineteen-year-old said, "will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
Tears welled up in her eyes as she slowly nodded. They hugged for several minutes before going downstairs, where the entire Weasley family was waiting to congratulate the young couple. Ron, in particular, looked overjoyed and she could hear him sounding teary as he offered up his congratulations.
When the time came for them to return to Hogwarts, they were very surprised to hear that Professor Flitwick had also proposed to Professor McGonagall... and the race was on.
Four years after, Hermione became the first Hogwarts Professor ever to have to postpone exams in order to go to the hospital and give birth to a beautiful dark haired girl. Marie Potter was soon joined by Daphne, Harold, and Ronnie (short for Veronica) Potter... all of whom made life very difficult for a certain Professor Snape. They attended a private muggle school until they were ready to become first years at Hogwarts, at which time they saw their parents a whole lot more.
Ron Weasley married a muggle girl named Melissa Hartwell, who also had red hair. Their children were amazingly well-behaved and the eldest of which fell in love with Daphne Potter, married, and at last united the three friends forever through their grandchildren.
As for Lover-Boy, he remained Hermione's pet owl and was never transformed into a boy again. He and Hedwig had a very odd looking chick named Artie.
A.N.: Thank you all for taking the time to read this! This is the end of this fic, unless I should ever decide to write a sequel, but I don't I'm going to. Thank you everyone! I hope you liked it!
