Epilogue:
Beth blinked slowly as the green light faded, and the midday sun shone brightly in the October sky. By her side, Harry had a determined look on his face that softened with he saw his daughter looked intently at him.
"It's over," he replied simply.
"Voldemort is gone," Sirius said flatly, no emotion showing on his face. He turned to look at his father and sister, then gave them his first real smile since he was a baby. "He's gone!"
Beth looked at the fallen dark wizard, and asked Harry, "how? How were you able to reflect back the Killing Curse? I thought it was impossible."
"Spending thirteen years alone makes you think. Most shield charms just act as a barrier between you and the curse, which cancels the effect of the curse. The Killing Curse is such a powerful spell that it would break through any shield," Harry explained.
"How did this spell work then?" Sirius inquired.
Harry gave a smile reminiscent of an old mentor. "This spell doesn't cancel the curse out. It merely reflects it back upon the caster, like a mirror."
"You think you're so great now! Famous Harry Potter had come back to life, and he's still the hero, the chosen one." Malfoy emerged from behind. "I will finish what the Dark Lord did not! I will be the next…"
Hermione dusted off her hands as she admired her skillful jab at Malfoy's back. "I've always wanted to punch Malfoy once again," she stated simply. She looked up, and saw Harry for the first time in thirteen years.
"Hello Hermione," Harry said. Hermione, in disbelief, looked from Sirius, to Beth, to the unconscious Malfoy, silently asking for answers. Harry moved purposefully towards her, swept her into his arms, and kissed her with more passion than he had ever shown before.
"You're real," Hermione murmured. "You're alive."
"Of course I am," Harry whispered back, than captured her lips in a fierce kiss.
Two weeks later, after thirteen years of possession by Death Eaters, Hogwarts was once again filled with students. Those Death Eaters had either been killed in the short battle after Harry's defeat of Voldemort, or had been captured and were held in Azkaban prison. The new Headmaster, Arthur Weasley, promised to open the school's door not only to students 11-18, but also to any other adult whose education had suffered from Hogwarts' closing. He also promised a good education in Muggle Studies if students were interested. While the class never gained very good popularity, Beth and Sirius were among many who enjoyed what they learned, the friendships they made, and the people they met during their wonderful years at Hogwarts.
Harry Potter went on to live as quiet a life as possible, spending time with his wife, kids, and being treated royally by a very repentant house-elf.
Hermione Potter continued to promote S.P.E.W. to its highest potential, and eventually won a battle for house-elves everywhere when the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures created their first law regarding the treatment of house-elves, namely, that house-elves can now wear clothes.
Elizabeth Potter had five successful years at Hogwarts, graduating early and at the top of her class, thank to her early training by her mother. She became a healer at St. Mungo's, and married Geoffrey Creevey, son of Colin Creevey.
Sirius Potter graduated from Hogwarts with nine O.W.L.S. and seven N.E.W.T.S. to his name, placing him within the top ten percent of all Hogwarts students. He went on to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, being the first teacher in over thirty years to last more than one year. He and his wife, Joanne Weasley, have nine children.
Dobby served the Potter family for many years, creating Hermione's biggest pet peeve in continuing to take on a subservient role. The family would often find him smashing his face in with a desk lamp as a constant punishment for betraying Hermione to the Death Eaters.
Draco Malfoy never finished his wish to become the next something. He was carted away to Azkaban, which, in the absence of the Dementors that had deserted it for a place in Voldemort's army, had become reminiscent of another place where people go crazy and lose their minds, the It's A Small World Ride in the Disneyland theme parks.
Sibyll Trelawney moved out of the Potter's home and resumed her previous teaching position at Hogwarts. Though her teaching style did not change much, there was a never another horrible death predicted about Harry or any member of his family.
Peter Pettigrew (AKA Wormtail) disappeared after Voldemort's downfall. To this day, no one has seen the man, or rat, with the silver right hand. But Fred and George Weasley would be happy to see him, as they were finally banned from testing on humans.
Fred and George Weasley built Weasley Wizard Wheezes into the largest chain of joke shops in the country, pushing Zonko's and other smaller shops towards closing. Their items are still banned at Hogwarts, but that never stopped the true jokester.
Ronald Weasley gradually gained prestige and power within the Ministry of Magic, eventually becoming the Minister of Magic. (Which Harry refused to accept, no matter how many times they asked him.)
The Wizarding World enjoyed generations of peace, prosperity, and goodwill, thanks to the efforts and success of The Chosen One, Harry Potter.
