Epilogue:
"What happened with the Goblins and Voldemort, Uncle Harry?". asked a young, chipper voice as a scruffy blonde-haired boy with soft brown eyes smiled at his godfather who got older, and having no glasses either, thanks to a potion way back then. Harry James Potter chuckled, as he laid on his stomach upon the couch of the patio outside around the community campfire.
"Ah, Teddy, to explain that, I must go back to the beginning, the beginning of where Tom Marvolo Riddle became Voldemort. You see, there is a evil, dangerous ritual, and that ritual brought along many dangerous artifacts within Voldemort's power. One began in the early 1940s, and throughout the later decades, more were created, with the last one within a giant snake.",
"When we found out about those artifacts from a book, Sirius and I contacted the Goblins, figuring that they could know a way to destroy them for good, and with my help of giving out some information, and a discovered artifact from one of the vaults, the goblins found a ritual which was to combine the artifacts into one, and some bait from my dear godfather in the great battle, Voldemort became entrapped within the goblins's ritual, and returned to his normal body, which was of Tom Riddle himself, and the king of the goblins had the honor of making sure Voldemort was done for.". Harry concluded.
Teddy Remus Lupin grinned, "Cool, and it really happened?". Harry nodded, "Indeed. Sirius himself has the memory of it all.". Another voice exclaimed, "That's baloney! I mean, did a ritual destroy Voldemort for real?". The culprit is a gangly, sturdy male dinosaur with a leaf green pelt with crimson red stripes, and dark blue eyes was sitting among the small audience of kids; dinosaurs, humans, house elves, and centaurs. Harry raised a eyebrow, "Magic is real, Aaron, or am I wrong?".
Aaron, the son of Libby and Nash looked sheepish at Harry's answer, "Sorry, Uncle Harry. You're right.". Harry chuckled warmly, "No harm done, Aaron. Now I believe it's soon for dinnertime, your parents will be calling for you about right now.". Sure enough to Harry's prediction, names were called from their mothers and fathers, and the children groaned in disappointment.
"Can you tell us another story after dinnertime, Uncle Harry?". asked a shy, curious blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl by the name of Felicia Augusta Longbottom, the daughter of Neville and Luna Longbottom. Harry smiled softly, "Little one, you will be sure of that. Now, I better check upon something, and you have dinnertime to check on, children. Go on, git!". Laughter and giggling from the children as they got up from their seats, sprinting or running home to their Wizarding Tents, the Clawtooth Farm, or the Cave Hut, or the grass cottages upon the hillsides. Harry smiled softly, and sighed contently, still amazed at how he took so easily to live in Dino World, yet he never resisted the call to visit Hogwarts occasionally back in the other world.
Harry then got up, flawlessly shifting into his Dilong form which got bigger to the size of a bull, thanks to the special potion. He sprinted to the corral where the longhorns reside, counting both mentally and vocally to make sure that there was no missing longhorns at the time, and nodded to himself, as he's satisfied, and then saw his daughter sitting upon her own nest a distance away. He walked on, smiling at Odette, "Hey, baby girl, how are the kids doing?".
Odette chuckled warmly, showing her two eggs under her belly, "Hello, papa. Done telling the older kids your story again?". Odette is mated with Spot who recently took the Animagus Potion, and became a muddy brown Dilophsaurus, with a slight tan underbelly, and his familiar green-brown eyes as well. Harry chuckled, "The Conclusion of the Great Battle, yes. Little Felicia begged me to tell another one to her and the others once they finish dinnertime.".
Odette giggled as she nuzzled her eggs gently, and replied, "They love your stories, Papa. You're the best storyteller ever.". Harry purred embarrassingly at that, "Sheesh, these rascals always are suckers for a good story, and if I remember right, you asked for the story of the Marauders from Remus more than my stories.".
"Papa, Uncle Remus had the best history lessons ever! I mean, you told me about Binns, and how Auntie Hermione and Uncle Ron proved that, and so hence, I liked Uncle Remus's history stories more, I admit, but no one beats you for being the best storyteller there ever is in Dino World.". smirked Odette. Harry chuckled in submission, "Fair enough, Odette. Well, where is Spot anyway?".
"Hunting fish again. I have been resting upon the nest all day, and I tell you, it's not easy!". snarled Odette softly, with a affectionate smile. Harry nodded, understanding how his daughter felt, as his own mate feels the same as well. Then a roar sounded out, making Harry freeze up, recognizing his mate's call. Odette gasped, "Mom sounds anxious, you better hurry, Papa!". Harry nodded, and rubbed Odette's snout warmly, "Call me when your kids hatch, baby girl. Ramsey is definitely wanting me to come over.".
Odette huffed softly as she watched her Papa sprint over in a rush, heading to her adoptive mother, Ramsey. No one never expected that Harry Potter could be the mate of Ramsey, the daughter of the T-Rex Family, or that Harry's Dilong form was fertile with Ramsey's body.
Harry panted slightly, as he looked up to Ramsey, "What's wrong?". Ramsey smiled, "Nothing's wrong, but the eggs are hatching! Look.". Ramsey moved herself off her own nest, revealing four eggs, standing besides Harry. Harry stared in awe, wanting to see something, anything that shows that they're hatching, then one of the eggs shook, cracks of the shell sounding out, and crashing down to reveal a raven pelted T-rex-shaped hatchling with rich brown eyes.
Harry and Ramsey cooed in awe as they looked upon their first son. The hatchling blinked as he clumsily got up, walked too fast, colliding into Ramsey's leg. Harry chuckled, and helped his son get up, and spoke, "Hello, Swift.". Swift chattered softly in nonsense talk. Then another sound of a shell cracking, and the three dinosaurs looked over to see the hatching egg pop up like the baby inside was trying to jump out of the shell, then it cracked right open, revealing the baby instantly, looking like a Dilong-shaped hatchling with a light red pelt and a black vertically stripe on her back, and having hazel eyes.
It is Harry and Ramsey's first daughter, which babbled loudly, and tried to walk properly, but put a bit much bounce in her walk, and smiling curiously upon her parents, earning Ramsey to lean forward and nuzzle the hatchling gently. She replied, "Huh, she got your father's eyes, Harry. Welcome home, Rory.".
Harry chuckled, and then heard another egg hatching, and he looked over, noting that his mate and children is looking over too. The third egg hobbled and throbbed, then rolled against Harry, cracking open at the force of the collision, and revealing a pale tan T-rex shaped hatchling with Dilong black feathers, and emerald green eyes. It's Harry and Ramsey's second son.
Harry chuckled, glancing upon his stubborn son, and commented, "You're a unique one. I believe I will name you, Jimmil or Jim for short.". Jim babbled happily, nuzzling Harry's chest. Ramsey smiled at the cute sight, and frowned slightly as she looked over to the last egg, and sniffed softly, "Hello, there. It's okay.". Ramsey nuzzled the egg softly, and her frown deepened. "Harry, something's wrong. The egg's not moving or anything.".
Harry walked forward, shifting back to human, and nodded, "I will get Madam Pomfrey, be right back.". He sprinted on to one of the Wizarding Tents, the home of Ron and Hermione Weasley, as Hermione's heavily pregnant with her second child, and Madam Pomfrey is here for safety measures. "Madam Pomfrey, I need your help. Three of the four eggs hatched, yet there's one that's troubling Ramsey.". commented a concerned Harry.
Madam Pomfrey sighed heavily, "Mr. Weasley, keep a eye on your wife, I will be back. Lead the way, Mr. Potter.". She then followed Harry to the nest, and smiling softly at the three hatchlings who curiously looked at her, and nodded to Ramsey, "I have to do a spell on the egg, if you don't mind, Miss Ramsey.". Ramsey shook her head, and Madam Pomfrey cast a spell over the egg, and a transparent line darted into her mind, causing her to gasp in horror, covering her mouth in shock.
"I-is the egg okay?". asked Ramsey worriedly. Madam Pomfrey frowned, looked up to Ramsey, then looked over to Harry. "I am dreadfully sorry, she-she didn't make it.". Ramsey's legs shook as her eyes widened, sitting backwards in shock, "No. Nooo!". She roared loudly, the grief hitting her, and Harry shifted back to his Dilong form, leaping into Ramsey's leg, and rubbing her snout sadly and softly, with the three hatchings whimpering and huddling within Ramsey's lap.
Madam Pomfrey swallowed at the sad sight, and left the grieving family, as the roar was heard by everybody in the vicinity. When Sirius Black asked her what happened, she had to tell him at once for he looked so worried and serious, no pun intended for real. The news spread, and everybody huddled around the family.
Slowly, the grieving slowed down, bringing Harry and Sirius to break out the egg, intending to bury the she-hatchling, noticing that she had the shape of a Dilong, with a brown pelt, with a soft red underbelly, and her eyes had the color of blue, yet dulled to her death. Ramsey weakly named the unhatched baby, Jenna.
Everybody imagined if Jenna had survived, she would've been a great beauty and a great sprinter like her father. And so, the night passed on, without another story as Harry was too sad and upset to tell the children anymore. The children was smart to recognize that the grown-ups is so tired, and went to sleep early, everyone did.
In the middle of the night, Harry panted heavily as he woke up from a nightmare. He saw Jenna killed by Voldemort, not Cedric. He left the nest, grateful that Ramsey isn't alone, for their other children is with her, sleeping behind her tail, protected from the air. He then walked into the Library, climbing the stairs to the open balcony on top, which was added a couple years ago when some people talked about wanting to see the stars closer.
Harry sighed heavily as he sat upon a chair, glancing up at the stars. He conjured up a blanket, as he's getting sleepy again, and hoping that the cool night air would help him dream better this time.
-Beginning of Dream-
Harry blinked in surprise as he looked around, seeing endless green earth and blue sky, almost like it is not blocked by anything. He then heard laughter, then he saw two humans being chased by a dinosaur, and not just any dinosaur, a real, breathing Jenna, and Harry instantly recognized his parents. "I gonna get you, Grampy, Grandma!". giggled Jenna. She pounced upon James, who laughed, "Aah, you got me, junior!". Lily giggled out loud, and as she felt something, she turned around, and gasped.
"Harry.". Harry exhaled, "Mum.". James heard Lily's gasp, and looked over to see his son, grinning in shock. "Harry, son!". The parents ran to Harry who in turn, ran to them, hugging and kissing. "Oh, my baby boy. My baby.". Harry choked, "Mum, not breathing, choking!".
"Oh, sorry, Harry. I missed you so much, my baby boy.". smiled Lily sheepishly. James nodded, "Yeah, I missed ya too, Bambi!". Harry blushed, "Dad, I am not a baby deer at all!". James snickered, "Oh, right. You are a baby dinosaur. I guess I should call you hatchling or something.". Lily glared at James, battered his chest firmly, "James, stop teasing our son!".
James surrendered, "Okay, Lils, alright, I give up.". Harry snickered softly, loving to see his parents banter and interact. "Papa?". asked a nervous voice. Harry looked down to see his youngest daughter, and he leaned down, looking at Jenna longingly and lovingly. "I am so sorry, I should have seen or checked something, anything.".
"Papa, it's okay. Grampy and Grandma is helping me, and they're making me happy! You help Mommy and brothers and sister be happy for me, promise, Papa?". crooned Jenna as she nuzzled Harry's chin as she huddled into Harry's chest, causing Harry to exhale, and smile softly as he hugged Jenna warmly and firmly.
"Okay, Jenna. I promise.". Harry replied, and looked up at his parents who was smiling at the sight, "You will take care of her for me, right?". James grinned," Of course! She's our granddaughter for Merlin's sake!". Lily warmly smiled, "Harry, we already are.". Harry nodded, and let go of Jenna who kissed Harry's cheek. "I love you, Papa.".
Harry smiled, "I love you too, Jenna, and you guys. I guess I'll see you much, much later, huh?". Lily huddled into James' hug, with Jenna then standing besides James, nuzzling his leg with one of her arms waving at him. Lily responded, "Don't worry, it's not forever. Harry James Potter, make your life good and well. Love you, baby.". The humans and the hatchling vanished slowly into smoke, causing Harry to wake up in slight confusion, and then remembered his dream. -End of Dream-
He sighed, and looked down over the balcony to see Ramsey still sleeping with the kids, and Harry smiled, cast a spell for him to float under him as he got off the balcony in quick time. He sprinted on to the nest, and ducked under Ramsey's snout, nuzzling into Ramsey's shoulder and tail end, and kissing Ramsey on the snout lightly, whispering, "Jenna wants us to be happy. I promised her, and I swear on it, my love. Good night, Ramsey.". He fell asleep, no dreams or nightmares to bid him trouble, yet he didn't notice Ramsey's snout curl up into a small smile, and a tear from her right eye.
There are good beginnings, good endings. Yes, there are bittersweet things in life yet joy and love prevails all.
