I AM SO SORRY! I meant to have the next chapter up a couple of months ago but when it came to writing it, I got a huge writers block! I couldn't think what to write! Finally, last weekend I wrote this Epilogue, which explain what would've happened in the story if I'd found a way to write it, but I couldn't. Anyone is welcome to re-write this story if they wish to and re-post it under their own name, as long as they ask me for permission and stuff.

I hope this Epilogue isn't too rubbish, but I'm afraid its the best I could do after months of writers block. And besides I thought I'd post now due to the release of HBP. So, enjoy!

If Time-Travel Changed Everything

Chapter Six: Epilogue

With Voldemort's defeat the Wizarding World slowly got back to normal. The threat of death gone, James and Lily were free to come out of hiding and continue their positions in the Ministry. Lily remained at home, declining the invitation to go back to work. She knew that Harry would need a caring mother. More over he was now entering the terrible twos, which Lily claimed was the worst years to be a mother.

James took his place as an Auror once more, with Sirius at his side. Remus was hired by Dumbledore to teach, and Peter was given a second chance. He began to train as an Auror, and though he did not have the skills to be a successful one, he worked hard to make up for the mistake he had made.

The world gradually went back to normal, with only a few Death Eater's running around. The future, it seemed, looked bright.

But the most important thing was that James and Lily had kept their promise. They had succeeded in helping their son. They would now always be there for him, wherever his path would take him.

On the eve of Harry's seventh birthday, James and Lily informed Harry about the threat on his life and what the scar on his forehead meant. They wanted him to be ready to face the perils of the world and what Hogwarts had to offer. Knowing about this had no effect on Harry. He knew he was special. He could remember what had happened the day his grandparents had died, and he was thankful for it.

The years passed and Harry was soon accepted into Hogwarts at age eleven, where he was sorted into Gryffindor. The first two years of his time at Hogwarts were uneventful, but when he moved into his third year, things began to change. He saved the Philosphers Stone from Voldemort, as he was once again gathering strength, becoming a hero to the school once again, and in his fourth year the Chamber of Secrets was opened. Harry worked hard and unravelled the mystery of the chamber saving the school once again.

His fifth year passed quickly and by the time he reached his sixth, his parents had informed him of the Order of the Phoenix. It was then that he began to get strange dreams about the death of his parents and the people that loved him.

In those years, James had become a famous Auror along with Sirius, and Peter's skill with magic had increased. Though he wasn't that good at magic, the aid that he got from his friends helped him meet his goal, and Peter became a full time Auror in 1988. Sirius, did not forget the betrayal that Peter did, but Peter eventually earned his respect by saving Lily's life when a rogue Death Eater attacked her in the muggle street. It was this incident that proved to Sirius that people could change if they were believed in.

Finally in his seventh year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter fulfilled the Prophecy. He defeated Voldemort. His grandmother's love had given him a protective shield, and it grew stronger whenever he was with his parents. In that year the Triwiziard Tournament came to the school, and Harry was picked as the school's champion. It was in the final task that he was whisked away to Voldemort. The Dark Lord regained his body through Harry's blood, but James and Lily tracked their son down, and with the Aurors fought the Dark Lord's forces.

Soon it was just Harry and Voldemort left standing, their wands ready. A dual took place, and finally seventeen-year old Harry Potter killed the Dark Lord with the killing curse, drawing upon all the love and strength of his parents and grandparents. That love saved his life, and as the Dark Lord died, Harry Potter struggled to hold onto his life.

The love and strength coursed through him. James approached his son and using his magic healed his sons wounds. Taking him home they cared for him.

James and Lily Potter had succeeded. They had watched their son grow up and defeat the Dark Lord. They had defied the future they had set themselves into. Now all they needed to do was live the rest of the lives in peace.

And that was exactly what they did.

THE END!

I know it's rubbish. Flame (or review) away!
