Epilogue
Antonin Dolohov was a very proud father when he led his daughter over frosted grass towards the Lestrange ritual stone circle on December 21st that year. Rod and Hermione were married without a hitch and went on their honeymoon in Egypt.
Persephone Lovegood Lestrange was born on February 2nd when the first cornel cherries started to bloom in the gardens. She was the apple of her father Rabastan's eye, and would have become spoilt if not her cousin Louis making an appearance exactly nine months after his parents' honeymoon.
During Hermione's pregnancy her father noticed how much she missed her adoptive parents, especially her mother, and went to Australia with an Unspeakable, the foremost expert in mind-magic, to try to bring them back. The expert confirmed that Hermione's spells could not be reversed because her parents were not her biological ones. They watched the Wilkinses for a few days and took pictures. The couple seemed to be reasonably happy and thriving. When Louis was sleeping the nights through Antonin told his daugher of the excursion's results. She cried a lot but later confessed that his travels had brought her some closure as she now knew for sure that she hadn't lost her parents due to some mistake on her part.
Andromeda Tonks and Antonin Dolohov had entered into a marriage of convenience due to the law but found out that, while both still missed their dead spouses, they liked each other well enough to attempt giving Teddy Lupin a sibling. Alexander Dolohov was born shortly after Hermione had told her father that he was once again being a grandfather. Lestrange manor became the loving home of three families who together had more children than the Weasleys: Persephone was followed by Xenophilius and Corvus, Louis Lestrange by the twins Heloise and Hecate and after a few years by Jerome and the baby of the family Katarina.
Corban Yaxley, to whom as a Scot the Marriage Law was not applicable, stayed a confirmed bachelor and favourite uncle to all the children at Lestrange Manor.
House Lestrange had re-gained its former glory but more importantly it was filled with laughter and faced a bright future.
