Epilogue – This Day Three Years Ago

This day three years ago, I was Rose Monika Davis. Now, I am Rose "Rosie" Monika Granger. My seventh and final year of Hogwarts has arrived, and so has Hugo's first year. We are just through the barrier and facing the Hogwarts Express.

"Come on Rosie! The train is gonna leave!"

"It won't Hugh. They can't leave without their Head Girl!" That's right, I became Head Girl. And you'll never guess who's Head Boy!

"I'm ten James, not six!" I turn around to see James Potter running towards us, his Head Boy badge reflecting the sunlight. I smile as I see his dark brown hair, messy as always, blowing in the light breeze. His little sister Lily is holding his hand, but complaining. She's very mature for her age, both magical and mentally. Her vivid red hair is tied up in a high ponytail, her skirt reaches just above her knee and she has glasses. Harry says that she's like a miniture Hermione on her first day of school, but with glasses and red hair!

"Whatever Lily," he replies, letting go of her hand in the process. "Hey you," he says smiling.

"Hey yourself!" I hear Hugo groan but decide to ignore him. He walks over to Lily and gives her a hug. They start talking about Hogwarts and leave me and James alone. "Where's Albus?"

"Your boyfriend is here and all your worried about is his brother? Should I be worried Rose?" Yeah you heard right, boyfriend! A boyfriend of three years might I add! Of course, there were the ups and downs that come with a commited relationship. But then again, we were voted "Hogwarts' Best Couple" of sixth year. And now we were Head Boy and Girl! Things couldn't get better for us.

"Shut up James, I was just curious," I say slapping him playfully on the arm.

"Hey lovebirds," Rebecca calls over to us. I give my best friend a hug and we instantly start gossiping about the summer. "Do you have any idea where Sam is?" She asks me.

"Nope, he didn't come with us this year seeing as we had two extra trunks with us," I answer.

"That's right; Lily and Hugo are starting this year! Are they excited?" Rebecca will always be the same old Rebecca that I met this day three years ago. Except now, she was fully committed to her boyfriend: Sam Weasley. And he definitely wasn't the same Sam from this day three years ago. That day, he kissed me and tried to get me to go out with him. Now, he was one of my best friends and dating Rebecca. He even looked different, with no more red hair but more of an auburn shade. He was a bit more muscular as well and looked like his older brother Jason, who finally got out of Hogwarts with acceptable grades, started working in his Uncle George's shop and was now engaged to a muggle girl called Eliza.

"Why hello there beautiful!"

"Hey," I say to the Weasley boy.

"I was talking to Becca actually," he said reaching out to hug his girlfriend. I couldn't believe that those two ever got together. They used to hate eachother before I came and made them become friends. But then again, today was different from this day three years ago.

"Rose," I turn around and see James holding out his hand for me to take. He's standing outside the Head's carriage with my trunk. I walk over to him. "You ready to go?"

"Sure am," I reply smiling.

"I can't believe this is going to be our last time sitting on this train," he says as he helps me into the carriage.

"I know, but it's not really the end, more like a new beginning," I take his hand in mine and squeeze it.

"You better be right Rosie," he says laughing. Suddenly, he goes quiet. I look at him confused. He just stares at me. But he smiles. He leans in and kisses me softly. When he retreats back, he carresses my cheek with his hand, and continues smiling at me. "I love you Rose."

"I love you too James." And it's true, I really do love him. Who would have thought I would be saying that this day three years ago? Not me.

So this was like the worst ending ever, I know, but it took me forever! Hope you enjoyed this story and thanks to all who reviewed throughout :) ~ Miss Hermione Granger 1995 xX
