epilogue: 19 years later
– separator –
Harry potter stepped on to platform 9 and 3/4s with his wife of 19 years, and his three daughters April, May, and June.
"Come on daddy" April said. "Won't you please tell us how the sorting is done?"
Harry bent down with a smile. "Now April, you have been told it's a surprise."
"But I hate surprises" April wined as her sisters rolled their eyes.
Harry chuckled. "Well, this is 1 surprise you're just going to have to wait for."

The years after the defeat of McGonagall were good for Harry and Bellatrix. After graduating near the top of the class in 1997 Harry set up a training studio for anyone who wanted to learn how to defend themselves. In the 17 years he had been running Potter's Protections he had seen hundreds of magical, and thousands of non-magical students' troop through his defense classes. Harry even hoped 1 of his daughters, or even 1 of his former students would step up to keep the practice going.
Bellatrix had at first decided to be Harry's bookkeeper to make sure he stayed in the black, and so he could dedicate more time to his students. Upon the birth of triplets Bellatrix had nearly run into panic. Two things convinced her to stay and stick it out.
First, she wasn't up to running only 30 minutes after giving birth. Second her loving husband Harry had talked her down, and promised on his life that everything was going to be ok. Oh, how she loved the man.
After getting out of St. Mungo's Bellatrix had thrown herself into parenthood, and she couldn't be any prouder of her daughters.
"Hay April, over here!"
Looking at her parents, who both smiled and nodded, April raced over to Alice Wood, her best friend.

After graduating from Hogwarts, the year after Harry's fight down in the chamber of secrets, Katty Bell went on to become 1 of the best quidditch chasers that had ever been seen. She had been surprised to find that her control over the wind remained, even when not in her Star identity. This made her shots too precise for anyone to intercept. After trying out for several teams, she had been signed with Puddlemere United, where she had reconnected with her old team captain, Oliver Wood.
It took several tries, but she had at last asked him out on a date after the team had won 1 of the hardest games they had ever played. One date had turned into 2. Two had turned into 4, and before either knew it they had established themselves as a couple.
The 2 of them dated for 5 years, before Oliver had proposed to Katty after they had won a very hard game against the Appleby Arrows. Of course, Katty had said yes. Although they wouldn't get married until after helping their team win the Quidditch world cup in 2002.
Their first daughter Alice was born the next year. After Alice's birth both Katty and Oliver took time off from playing quidditch. This understandably angered the team's owner, and so they were cut loose. Thankfully Harry Potter had heard about them being fired and had set up his own quidditch team. Members were allowed to rotate on and off the team roster as needed, and they still got paid so long as they counted themselves as a member of the team. Oh, and they also needed to not cause any problems for anyone else as well.
Harry walked over to Katty and Oliver and shook their hands. "So how is the team holding up Oliver?"
Oliver was now the head coach for The Bolt Blasters, and Katty, when not looking after her kids, was his assistant.
"Looking good Harry" Oliver said as Katty smiled. "We think we have a good chance to make it to the world cup finals in 2016."
Harry clapped a hand on Oliver's shoulder. "Keep up the good work both of you."
May suddenly popped up. "Oh, there's Tabitha."

Pansy Parkinson had been adrift ever since graduating from Hogwarts. Before becoming the elemental Master of Water, she had supposed she would be sold to the highest bidder and told her to enjoy it. After gaining her powers however she had found she preferred the female form, and so had found herself falling for Padma Patel. At first very few people supported their relationship, and several threats had even been thrown at them. Pansy's father had even written up a marriage contract and tricked her into signing it. He had gone to sell her contract at auction to the highest bidder. However, Harry had won the contract for 3000 galleons, and then turned around and sold the contract to Padma for 1 galleon and 3 sickles. It was after the sale was completed that they discovered what they thought was a marriage contract and was in fact a slave contract.
This did not bother Pansy. She had discovered she quite liked being ordered around and having Padma as her mistress had just made her day.
When the 2 of them were exploring the muggle world back in 2008 they came across an orphanage. It was there they found Tabitha; a magical child that had been dumped by her parents when she first displayed accidental magic. Tabitha had stayed in the orphanage for 2 years before Padma had decided to adopt her. Now at 11 years Tabitha was a lively and well cared for child.
Bellatrix smiled as she stepped up to Padma, and Pansy. "So, you 2 are doing alright then?"
Pansy giggled, as Padma rolled her eyes.
"We're just fine thank you Bella" Padma answered as Pansy tried to catch Harry's eye. Harry knew she was just trying to get herself in trouble so Padma would have a reason to discipline her, so he pretended not to see her attempts at flirting.
Just then Neville, Hannah, and Susan walked onto the platform.

Susan had taken it the hardest when Harry had married Bellatrix. For months she had tried to find some underhanded reason why he would have chosen Bellatrix over her. It took a talk from her aunt, as well as Neville proposing to Hannah for her to realize that her heart belonged to another.
After being Hannah's maid of honor Susan had asked Hannah if she would be willing to share. After all Susan was the last of the Bones line, and so she would need to be a second wife, or someone's concubine.
After squealing Hannah had agreed, and the 2 of them had set out to bring Neville around to their viewpoint. Not that it had been a hard sell. Neville had been raised by his grandmother, and he knew his duty to not only his house, but 2 other houses as well.
"Hay has anyone seen Luna" Harry asked. Everyone shook their heads.

Luna was the only member of the team who decided to remain in her elemental form for the rest of her life. After the death of her mother when Luna was 9 Luna had craved stability. Unfortunately, her school years had been rough to the point of her considering suicide.
Fortunately for her Harry Potter had returned in her fourth year, and he had not only taken her under his protection, but also given her a way to escape her bullies.
As Nature the elemental master of earth she traveled far and wide. Using her natural seer talents, she had appeared at several important points around the world and used her control over nature itself to help those in need.
However, the 1 thing she truly regretted was that she had no time for romance. She had met several interesting men, but not 1 had held her interest tightly enough to cause her to stay.
As she used her powers to stop a volcano from erupting Luna wondered if she would ever be allowed to settle down.

An: and that's it. This story is finally done. I tried to give every member of the elementals team a happy ending, but for some reason I just couldn't come up with a good ending for Luna. It is for that reason I had her traveling the world fighting as Nature, instead of settling down like the others.
Well this story is finished, and I will not be putting up any new stories for a little bit. I have 2 stories still in progress that I need to work on, and so I will be trying to get back into them. However I will not be uploading anything for the rest of Augest, or the entire of September. This is so I can focus on what I want to be uploading in October. "What's magic Scooby doo" is coming back, and I will be hopefully uploading a new chapter of that story every day at that time.
Anyway I hope you enjoyed reading this story, and I will see you all the next time I upload. Good bye.
