Chapter fourteen

Megan and Harry married the moment they were both sixteen, surprising everyone. Some believed they were too young, but nothing anyone said could change their minds. Megan moved into Crescent fields, but the young couple had part of the manor to themselves while Sirius and Remus used the other part of the manor.

It took Remus three years before he finally married Tonks. Teddy was born nine months later.

Sirius surprised everyone when he announced his engagement to Septima Sinistra, they married a few months later. What surprised Sirius was when his wife told him she was expecting their first child. Sirius always believed he would never father a child due to his years in Azkaban.

Harry and Megan went on to become healers, both of them would work tirelessly to help those like the Longbottom's. It took ten years of constant experimenting before they found a way to bring Frank and Alice back. They would never be able to work again but they could at least have a good life with their son.

Ginny Weasley did give up on Harry and went on to join the Hollyhead Harpies. She was a chaser but was able to take seeker if the Harpies seeker was ever taken out. After three years of training she ended up dating Dean Thomas, then later marrying. Dean went on to become a well-known artist.

Hermione and Ron married a year after leaving Hogwarts. No matter what Molly Weasley tried, Hermione would not be a stay home wife or mother. She got a job at the ministry, helping make laws that would not be prejudice in anyway. Ron went on to play for the Chudley Cannons as their keeper. The team did rise from the bottom of the ladder but they never ended up as one of the top teams. Hermione and Ron divorced five years later. Ron kept telling Hermione that it was time for her to leave work and have children. Hermione told Ron that she planned to work for at least another ten years before even considering having children. Finally they realised they just wanted different things from their marriage so divorcing was the most sensible thing to do. Ron went on to marry Lavender Brown, they ended up with nine children. Hermione married Justin Flinch Fletchly and after working for another ten years Hermione decided it was time to have a family. They had four children.

Neville went on to marry Hannah Abbott. Neville bought a nursery filled with not only plants to use in potions, but any type of flower or tree that people may want in their garden. Many apothecary's from around the world bought from Neville as he just seemed to grow the best plants. Hannah worked at the ministry until she got pregnant with the first of five Longbottom children.

Susan Bones went on to become an auror. She ended up dating and later marrying her auror partner and had four children.

Hogwarts saw many changes, one was the sorting was stopped. The children now housed and had classes by year. It took a while but eventually the rivalry stopped. They still played quidditch but the teams were now worked out for junior and senior and four teams for each. It gave more students a chance to play. The kept the founders names by having open common rooms named after the founders. The following years saw more and more children attending Hogwarts. Since the war with Grindelwald and Voldemort, their numbers dropped. Now they had more children attending Hogwarts than ever before.

Albus Dumbledore remained headmaster until he died peacefully in his sleep at the age of one hundred and fifty seven. He was buried in a white marble tomb that sat on the grounds of Hogwarts. Minerva McGonagall ended up headmistress.

Over the years people stopped staring at Harry especially since his scar was finally gone thanks to muggle plastic surgery. He was now known as a great healer and not the boy who lived. Megan decided it was time to have a family, she presented Harry with twin boys. She gave birth to twin girls next and most believed that would be the end, but Megan went on to have another three sets of twins. There were ten potter children. All the girls all had Megan's hair but Harry's green eyes where the boys were a mixture of both their parent's.

As Harry and Megan sat outside on a warm night watching their children playing in the swimming pool, their thoughts drifted back to when they decided to return to the past. After seeing all the deaths and torture, and knowing that everyone would be living under Voldemort's reign, they knew they either stayed in hiding, forever, or they do something about it.

When they searched the tunnels that they hid in, they were lucky to come across the hidden trapdoor that lead to the department of mysteries. Since it was muggles who used those tunnels it was only protected so muggles couldn't see the door.

Harry and Megan used the cloaks then snuck through the trapdoor. They hoped going in of a night that it would be empty, it was. It gave them time to search, not just for information but for also things like books so they could keep learning, they also took any food that could help.

When they found the time turners that were different from the one that Hermione used, they took one, and copied the information on the time turner. They also took a time turner that was identical to the one Hermione had used in their third year at Hogwarts.

At first they thought it might help them survive but also help save other people. They knew they had to study the time turner and they had to find out why it was different. The one Hermione had would take her back an hour for each turn. After reading the information, they found out these other time turners would take you back a year for each turn. That was when they began talking about trying to change the past.

They knew it was a risk, returning to the past. Both wanted to return to a time where they could save their parent's. After a lot of studying, they realised their souls would return to their bodies of how old they were. If they went to their past bodies when their parent's were alive, they would be babies and unable to help. They realised their dreams of saving their families would have to remain just that, a dream. After a lot of discussions, they decided to return when things began to get worse for the people in the magical world. It all started when Harry's name came out of the goblet of fire, which is when Voldemort returned.

It took them a year of studying their memories of everything that happened during that year and the following years to get the information they needed. They spoke, they made plans, they made back up plans and they had lists of things they had to do. And some of those things were murder. With how their lives had been like over the years since Voldemort returned, both had fought and killed. They didn't like to kill but they knew there were some that were just too sadistic and dangerous to remain alive. They hardened themselves so they could do what they needed in the hope they could survive. Having the chance to return to the past gave them hope that they will survive but also help others survive and have the lives they dreamed of.

Now as they sat watching their children, they knew what they did was right. It was hard on both of them. Both suffered from nightmares when they first returned. But with the peaceful world they helped create, became peaceful for them. Their hearts, minds, bodies and souls were finally at peace. Seeing their children healthy and happy reinforced their belief that what they did was right, not just for them, but for the wizarding world.
