Epilogue

In the time that passed between Voldemort's defeat and Harry Potter's graduation, many things changed. A treaty was signed between the werewolves, vampires, and wizards declaring themselves to be equal beings in gratitude for their assistance in the war. After the sealing of the Breaden Tree, the Nightghausts had all but disappeared and the remaining deatheaters were charged and sent to Azkaban prison.

Harry Potter received the Order of Merlin First Class, while still recovering in the hospital wing. A week after Voldemort's defeat, the entire hospital wing was overflowing with cards, candies, and flowers for the 'Chosen One' and Harry was allowed to return home with Remus if only to make room for the patients.

Despite the fact that Harry was of age, Remus Lupin officially adopted him a month after he left St. Mungos' with a clean bill of health. Harry wasn't sure if he wanted to continue hunting dark wizards, despite numerous requests from the Ministry, and contented himself with assisting with the construction and running of several schools for werewolves with Remus for the next few years.

Hermione went into the Ministry a few years after graduating and eventually became the youngest Mistress of Magic in over a hundred years. Ron got more confidence at Quidditch and eventually led the Cannons to their first victory in years, asking Hermione to marry him after they won their final game. Harry was the best man at their wedding.

Life was still far from perfect; the transition of the werewolves and vampires from beasts to equals brought an uproar from many of the wizarding community, most of which was silenced out of shock when Draco Malfoy married a gorgeous vampire named Cornelia.

Much remained the same as Hogwarts Gryffindors still hated Slytherin and the Sorting Hat's song welcomed each new generation.

Harry had many more adventures with the werewolves and vampires. He was a regular visitor at Hogwarts and would occasionally stay for a week or longer to give a lecture or teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class when Remus needed a break. Eventually, Remus retired and Harry stayed on as a teacher for a year until Dumbledore was able to find a replacement.

Every now and then he would return to the Hunter's Keep and get his butt kicked by Takara who was planning to take over the Keep as Warden when the new Warden, Jaegar, retired.

Though Harry had enough money to last him the rest of his life, he tried different jobs including being an Auror. He eventually became the official moderator of relations between the werewolves, vampires, and wizarding communities after the last four were killed and/or eaten.

He and Remus remained close and he was also the best man at Remus' and Tonks' wedding. After a few more years Harry had a family of his own and never felt anymore pain from his lightning bolt scar.
