Epilogue
There was no happily ever after because this is life not a story. People are living, working, laughing, taking care of their families and friends. Dumbledore resigned from all positions and first place he visited after retirement was Greece. He was happy with the sunny weather and plenty of time for studies, in wizarding world people were happy with the changes that are still happening – old traditions rediscovered, more technology from muggles adopted, non-humans are given rights and jobs. That led to creation of Colourly Alley next to Diagon Alley, more shops, entertainment, clearer laws and their enforcement. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are still a couple, Hermione Weasley and Ron Weasley welcomed their first child, Luna and Neville created first magical park with the zoo and etc.
Tom Riddle was very happy as well – he became famous social figure and a lawyer, married his love Severus Snape who was an independent researcher now. They enjoyed travelling, meeting a lot of interesting people and non-people, seeing witches and wizards of United Kingdom enjoying their life. Now he was enjoying his morning tea and watching his love having full breakfast. Severus looked very good – healthy, confident, handsome, with soft smile and brightness in his eyes.
-Love, I have some news. – Tom said gently. Severus looked at him and was ready to hear new plan or idea. – In 8 months we will have a child.
-Tom! How are you feeling, would you like anything to eat, drink, do?! You must have more breakfast, you must be more comfortable, would you like?.. – there was hurricane around Tom. Severus was taking care of him, talking without a break, pacing around him until Tom calmly stood up and kissed him. – I am so happy now, Tom. – Whispered he and they kissed again. He had a new spark in his eyes. – Thank you my love.
