Epilogue


Most of the people left in a few hours, being up all night was tiring for humans. The rest of my family stayed and tried to clean up as much as we could. While Edward, my daughters, the Weasley twins, and I worked around, speaking "Reparo" at the holes in the castle walls, the rest of my family were pushing the statues back into place and hanging the portraits back on the walls. It was filling, I found joy in helping restore my school.

I had everything I ever needed. Harry was alive and well, my family was finally complete and happy, and I hoped everything would stay like that forever. As I walked back to the Great Hall to wait for Harry to come downstairs from his dorm, I noticed Fred, George and Edward standing next to each other.

"Bella told me you came in terms that Georgy and I are dating your daughters," Fred spoke with a grin.

"If you ever hurt them…" Edward started.

"We would rather die," George said seriously.

"Then I'm alright with that." Edward gave a one-armed hug to both the twins.

"So, should we call you 'dad' now?" Fred chuckled; George followed him.

"Absolutely not." Edward raised his finger in a warning, just proving how much of a dad he really was.

I smiled at their interaction. Being so involved with their conversation, I didn't realize that there was now a steady heartbeat right next to me. I turned around and saw Harry walking in my direction. I closed the distance between us, Harry motioned for me to sit down on one of the benches.

"How did you sleep?" I asked.

"Like a baby." He spoke. "Haven't had such nice sleep in years."

"That's good to hear." I smiled. "So, what is that you wanted to talk about?"

"The resurrection stone." He started speaking.

"What about it? I thought you said you didn't want to use it."

"And I don't. But I did use it once, right before…um…Voldemort killed me." Harry's hand was rubbing the back of his head. "I don't even know how to tell you that, to be honest."

"What's going on?" I asked anxiously.

"Well, see, I saw everyone. Mom, Dad, my grandparents, and even Dobby was there." He spoke.

"Okay…" I nudged him, where was he going with this?

"Your dad wasn't, Bella." He spoke and looked at me.

"What do you mean, he wasn't there?" a nervous chuckle escaped my mouth.

"He wasn't there and when I asked my dad about it, he said Sirius joined them once only for a few minutes, he was pulled back…"

"B-but…No…" I stuttered. "No, that's nonsense. He couldn't be alive, could he?"

"Hey, mom!" Nessie sat down next to us. "Look what I found in your jewelry box."

Before I could tell her that I needed a moment to talk to Harry, she pulled something out of a pocket of her jeans and handed it to me. My eyebrows flew up in shock as I stared at the necklace with a little puppy locket singling from it.

"Aunt Alice says she saw it in there when she was picking a dress for you to wear to one of your proms back in the day." She smiled at me, but I couldn't get my eyes off of the necklace. "Isn't that what you were looking for in Grimmauld Place?"

It was...It was exactly what I was looking for.


And now we're done. Let me know if you want a sequel or if an open ending is just fine for you guys! I'll only write a sequel if I get at least 10 reviews from you guys telling me to do it. I know, I know, not fair, but hey, I need some motivation! On the other note, I'm writing a new fic, a crossover between Twilight and The Umbrella Academy, so be on the lookout if you're interested!
