A/N:
Disclaimer: I had a dream last night that Harry Potter and his friends belonged to me. Sadly I woke up this morning with nothing but a purple, pink and silver bedroom, a pink mobile phone, loads of clothes, all of the Friends episodes on VHS and the Harry Potter books and DVD's so I took that as a there is no way on this earth that I own them!
Summary: Harry has defeated Voldemort and he leaves the wizarding world after graduating because all is not well there. He returns after a year and discovers that his life has changed dramatically. Theres a new enemy but who is it? We follow Harry's life as he learns that One night REALLY can change everything in a persons life.
Thanks for all the reviews. They mean a lot to me. And as I said before this is the last chapter of One Night Can Change Everything. Hope you enjoy it and I hope that you enjoyed this story. There will be another fic coming your way soon but I have only just finished Chapter 1 of it so it may be a couple of weeks before I start posting it. It's a prequel to this and covers Harry's last year at Hogwarts.
Anyways now onto our feature presentation. Here's the final chapter! Enjoy!
Epilogue
Ten Months Later.
A now eighteen year old Peyton woke up early on the day of her graduation.
She sat up in bed and stretched.
Peyton pulled out her hairband that held her straight auburn hair up out of the messy bun that she had always worn to bed ever since she could do her hair herself.
She looked around the dormitory and saw that Maddy, Tasha, Cady and another girl in her year that was named Mia were still asleep.
Peyton got up out of bed and sat down on Maddy's bed.
"Mads" she whispered.
"Go away Peyton. I'm sleeping!" Maddy mumbled.
"But Mads it's our graduation!" Peyton whispered excitedly.
"And that's a good enough reason for my annoying twin to leave me alone and let me sleep!"
"Are you forgetting who's coming today?"
"Who?"
"Mum, Dad, Nana, Grandpa, Aunt Hermione, Uncle Ron, Ellie, Millie, Jamie, Trinity and -"
"I don't care who's going!"
"Not even if I told you that I had an owl from Ben last night? He told me that he and Matt are coming to graduation with Mum and Dad!"
Maddy shot up and looked at Peyton.
"HE'S WHAT?" she yelled.
"Coming to graduation" Peyton said calmly.
"Oh my God! I have to start getting ready!"
"Okay now you sound like me Mads."
Maddy laughed then got out of bed and pulled Peyton towards the bathroom.
About four hours later the seventh years were out in the June sunshine standing on the grass waiting to get their diplomas and the spells on their wands lifted so that they could use magic ouside of Hogwarts.
Professor McGonagall called Peyton's name and she walked slowly onto the stage to recieve her diploma.
"Well done Peyton" Professor McGonagall whispered as she waved her wand over Peyton's wand.
A series of multicoloured sparks were emitted from Peyton's wand before a white glow surrounded it.
Once all of the students had been called, Professor McGonagall addressed the relatives that had seen the students graduate.
"All of the seventh years have now been released of the spell that forbade them to use magic while they were away from Hogwarts. We will now hear a speech from our Head Girl and Gryffindor Quidditch Captain, Peyton Potter."
Everyone clapped as Peyton walked onto the stage to where Professor McGonagall was standing and muttered an incantation to her wand.
"Thank you Professor. Well what can I say? We entered the castle seven years ago as frightened eleven year olds. All we knew were the stories that our Grandparents, Parents, Sisters, Brothers, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins had told us. Once we had been sorted into our houses we formed friendships. Some were only temporary but others were for life."
Peyton turned and smiled at Cady after she had said this.
"Each of us had our own stories to tell about our parentage and how we found out that we were magical. We all had our differences and excelled in many things such as Quidditch and lessons. We also made enemies and some of us even had fights. Some of us became Quidditch Players while others preferred to read books and were prejudiced by that. We soon learned not to judge a book by it's cover and even the strangest of enemies such as sisters soon became friends. As we got older we grew into our personalities and even made mistakes in our lives. What I guess I'm trying to say is that Hogwarts has given us many experiences whether they were good or bad and we have learned from everyone within the walls. We leave now as fully fledged eighteen year old witches and wizards and we can now use our findings, teachings and experiences when we go into the wizarding world to work and to begin our adult lives. All that's left for me to say is thank you Hogwarts and the professors. I'm sure that we will miss you all. Our lives won't be the same again. Congratulations everyone! We did it!"
Peyton muttered the incantation to make her voice go back to normal and joined her friends.
"Thank you Miss Potter. And all I have left to say is Congratulations and Good Luck."
The parents went to meet their children and to congratulate them.
Harry, Ginny, Mrs Weasley, Mr Weasley, Hermione, Ron, Millie, Jamie, Ben and Matt joined the twins and hugged them in turn, even Hermione's mother was there to see Tasha.
"Well done Peyt" Ben told her.
Peyton smiled as Ben hugged her then kissed her softly.
Harry looked at his twins having quality time with their boyfriends and smiled feeling very proud of them.
He then looked at Hermione, Ellie and Millie and smiled again.
Finally he looked at Ginny, Jamie and his three week old newborn daughter Trinity that Ginny was holding and grinned.
He finally had the family that he had always craved for as a child.
Harry now knew the true meaning of the saying 'One Night Can Change Everything.'
The End.
