Epilogue: Happiness Comes to Those Who Wait
The day after the battle, Hermione attended a press conference at the Ministry of Magic. She informed the Wizarding World that she would not be merging the Wizarding World and the Muggle World. She also announced that to appease the other Purebloods that sided with Voldemort but were not Deatheaters, that all the muggle-born children that were going to start attending Hogwarts, that while they would attend the normal first year classes, they would also attend a few different classes that didn't include pureblood or half-bloods, so they could learn about the Wizarding culture and customs without halting the others education.
On March 18th, just three months after the final battle, Hermione and Ron; and Skylar and Harry got married in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Not long after that, on March 24th, Skylar and Harry formally adopted Arianna. Hermione found out after the battle was over that her uncle Gregori was the one that shot the killing curse at the Deatheater, who was identified as Rodolphus Lestrange, and that Ron killed the other man, Rabastan Lestrange, that had placed the silver necklace on her.
After the battle of Hogwarts Hermione, Ron, Harry, Skylar, Draco, and the other Hogwarts students went back to school to finish their education; with the Golden Trio and friends attending their Sixth year again, since Hermione had been kidnapped and not been able to attend any of her classes. Professor McGonagall became the Headmistress of Hogwarts, with Gregori Snape replacing her as the Transfiguration Professor.
Five months after the final battle, Ashwin took the cure Hermione had made, saying that it was difficult being a werewolf and trying to work with Dragons. Remus, Ambrosial, and Severus continued to teach at Hogwarts until Hermione graduated. Hermione took Severus' job and became the new Potion's Master. Harry took Remus' job as the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor. Draco took Ambrosial's job as the Ancient Runes Professor, and Skylar took Professor Sprout's job as the new Herebology Professor. Ron became the flying instructor, and surprisingly Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts.
In addition to Hermione's teaching position, she was also the leading representative for the werewolf community… and thanks to her, they were no longer shunned from the rest of society, and they no longer had problems getting a job, or having a family legally. When Jasper graduated he got a job at the Ministry of Magic and when Tawny graduated she became one of the best Healers at St. Mungo's. They got married and had no children.
Ashwin never got married, since he was always spending time away from his home, normally at Dragon reservations. After graduation, Draco and Pansy got married and had a little boy named Sorin Draconis Malfoy. Three years after the golden trio and friends graduated, Hermione gave birth to a baby girl named Carina Abigail Weasley. She was born with a head full of dark auburn hair. She was, thankfully, not born with any traces of her mother's werewolf genes.
Skylar and Harry finally found a way for them to have their own child. All Skylar had to do was turn Harry into a vampire after much pleading from him. They had a baby boy, Alexander James Potter, (a year after Hermione gave birth to Carina) and a year later, a baby girl named Noël Lily Potter. Arianna was happy to have a brother and a little sister, even if they were vampires. Arianna decided not to take the cure, saying that with her new family, she felt she could handle the monthly changes better. She started Hogwarts in 1998, the year Skylar and friends started their seventh year at Hogwarts. She was sorted into Ravenclaw.
Alan finally overcame his fear of magic, so he and Juliette moved into a home closer to Lupin Manor. Their relationship repaired itself, and Juliette finally found some peace for the first time since Gideon's murder. Despite Hermione's promise that Minister Fudge would keep his job, he was replaced by Kingsley Shacklebolt, two years after the final battle.
All of the Deatheaters and Order Members that were taken to the Ministry following the battle were given the choice to a life sentence in Azkaban, or to take Veritaserum and renounce their old masters. (Anyone that choose Veritaserum, but were not able to renounce their masters were either killed or sent to Azkaban.)
That Christmas night the battle took place on was forever remembered as the night a young witch, a young werewolf, helped rid the Wizarding World of the two darkest wizards of her time, or as simply the Night of the Wolves.
