James hid the Elder Wand using the elder wand in the Chamber of Secrets, and that too deep in the ground with protective enhancements around the wand, so if he dies a natural death then no one will be able to be the master of it. Only he and Lily knew the location of it and no one else.
He flew over Forbidden Forest, to a place where he has once seen a big family of giant spiders, Acromentula and threw the resurrection stone in there.
He didn't need those two things, Sirius suggested that he should have kept the wand but James being a person who prefers loyalty over power didn't keep it, and as for the resurrection stone, James thought it was best if such a dark and tempting thing is kept away from the world, after all moving forward is human's nature.
James only kept the cloak as he was attached to it and it wasn't horrible as the others. Plus it was an aid to do pranks.
Barty Crouch, despite all the disputes regarding his son, was made the Minister of Magic. Cornelius Fudge was in the race but Crouch beat him.
The curse on the job of DADA post was lifted in Hogwarts after Voldemort's death and Alastor Moody joined the post though only for six years, after which he retired and a new DADA professor was appointed who became a star amongst the students instantly. Do I need to tell who?
Professor R.J. Lupin, special arrangements were made for him, and by the time he joined the post, the wolfsbane was invented so it made it easier for him, not to forget that still three other boys would sneak into the Shrieking Shack to accompany their friend.
It was revealed that it was Tom Riddle who has opened the Chamber of Secrets and killed Myrtle and not Hagrid. The Ministry wrote an apology to Hagrid and gave him a wand(though Hagrid went back to use his own original wand, which Dumbledore has mended for him) and he was made the assistant of Professor Kettleborn who began preparing Hagrid as a future professor.
A new Divination teacher was appointed Prof. Sybill Trelanwey, the headmistress wasn't fond of divination but nevertheless appointed her.
It was found that the Malfoy Manor has been completely empty with only the dead body if Lucius Malfoy was left in there, the chambers where prisoners were held were all empty, and all the gold and jewels from the Manor were missing too.
No one ever saw Severus Snape in Britain again and neither they saw Narcissa, who was now known as Narcissa Snape.
The couple had moved to France where they had a boy who was named Salus by Narcissa, as the name means salvation in Latin, and the boy was both of their's salvation, he was the one who brought them to the good side.
Snape began his work with a few French wizards who studied dark arts and find its antidote.
A month after the new year party of 1980, Marlene found out that she was pregnant, obviously, the father panicked and thought he would be the worst father, but a long lecture from the three girls calmed him down, and in May the man who thought the marriage was a joke and that no man should ever marry and keep the options open was married, though he ran away thrice before the wedding, which included turning into a dog on the morning of the wedding when he was so panicked with it.
Finally, after a two-hour-long talk with his best friend and the fiery redhead, he calmed himself down and got ready to get married.
They had twin daughters, Faith and Grace, and now Sirius Black was the happiest man in the world, very committed to his wife and two daughters. He would turn into Snuffles and play with them.
Peter Pettigrew started dating Clara Lingum properly and later they married, the rest of the Lingum family left to go back to their original home but Clara remained in England with Peter, they both brought a cottage near Edwinstowe, on the edge of Sherwood Forest, so that Clara could remain close to the nature, they had three sons and two daughters, a fact that Peter's friend made fun of, and remind him that he can use a potion or a simple spell to prevent any mishaps.
Professor Lupin was the least confident man, he didn't believe that he deserved to get into relation but his six friends convinced him that he deserves happiness in his life and that they would be there to support him.
He began dating Hestia Jones after joining the post of Professor, and told her about his condition hoping that she'd push him away but that hasn't been the case, she understood his condition and accepted him for what he was.
After three years in the relationship when Remus made no move to take their relationship to the next step, Hestia proposed to him and now they were married, they brought a house in Hogsmeade so that Remus could live with her. Sirius has joked that Remus should have brought the Shrieking Shack and finally claim it as his.
(A/N: I love Remus and Nymphadora but they just didn't fit together in this story, it would be so odd and complicated.)
Mary was now married to Thomas O'Neill after three years of dating. Mary has become a full-time healer in St. Mungo's and Thomas was working in the Ministry in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
They had a daughter and just last year welcomed their second child, a boy.
Regulus and Julia, the couple who were together for so long got married too, it was quite havoc when Walburga found out about Regulus but, in the end, she accepted Julia for her son's sake, she died three years after the war.
They both welcomed a boy and named him Leo according to Black's family tradition.
NOW TO MY FAVOURITE COUPLE : )
Year: 1987
The house in Godric's Hollow was empty, its occupants only visited once or twice a year. The couple has moved temporarily to Killin, Scotland for the peaceful life they dreamed of. They both were awarded by the ministry with several luxuries, wealth and job offers for their contribution, but both of them had put that on hold and as they already had enough money to live happily without doing any job, they had decided to spend time together away from the hustle of the rest of the world until 1991.
In a cottage in Killin, which stood alone in a radius of a mile,
A medium mass landed on her followed by a light mass.
"Umph," Lily groaned.
"Mum, wake up, quidditch, let's go," said the seven-year-old boy.
"Mum, quidish," said a cute voice.
"It's quidditch, Vi, quidditch," said the boy shaking his head.
"Quidditch," the small five-year-old girl repeated after his brother, who smiled proudly.
Another mass, a heavy mass landed on her, "Wake up, Lils, it's seven."
Lily opened her eyes lazily and saw her two boys looking at her, grinning widely while the girl was now lying beside her.
"James, you have spoiled my children, why do you have to tell Harry about quidditch? He is now obsessed with it. And why do you have to wake me so early, it's seven only, not ten," she groaned.
James chuckled and gave her a kiss on the forehead and then turned to his son, who was just like him but has Lily's beautiful eyes.
"Harry, your mum here is very lazy, do you know what I used to do when she doesn't get up?" he smirked.
"Water," laughed the boy.
"I am up, I am up," Lily said instantly. "Really, Jim? You're teaching Harry this."
"James," corrected the daughter. "Dada's name, James."
Both of the parents looked at their daughter who was playing with his mother's hair now, putting it in her mouth occasionally.
She has hazel eyes, her hair was red just like Lily's.
Both James and Lily laughed at her comment.
"She has got your brains, Lils," said James.
"Dad, quidditch, we'll be late," said Harry standing on the bed.
"Quidish," said the girl again.
"Oh ho, Violet, it's quidditch, you forget it every time," Harry said.
"Can't I just remain here and sleep while you both play?" Lily yawned.
"No, mum has to come," said Harry taking Lily's hand and pulling her up. "Mum's the best commentator."
"Yeah, because she insults me, and cheers and glorifies only you," James rolled his eyes.
"My son is a lot better than you, Potter," Lily stuck out her tongue. "So just accept it."
"I know, after all, I trained him, he's my son," said James getting up and then picking up Violet. "Vi, will cheer for Daddy, won't you, Vi?"
"Daddy best," replied the girl giving James a kiss on the cheek.
Lily got to her feet, "So, dear Hubby, what do we have for breakfast today?" she asked as she kissed her daughter and then James.
"Pancakes," smiled James and Lily squeaked happily.
"I love Pacakes," said Vi.
"And I love treacle tarts," said Harry jumping off the bed. "We have it, right dad?"
"I have kept it for you, and for this bighead," said Lily.
"Mum, look I polished my broom by myself today," said Harry picking up his broom and showing it to her.
Lily smiled, "Excellent work!" she ruffled his untidy hair and gave him a peck. "Wish we could do something to flatten your hair, I tried all my effort on James but failed and have failed on you too."
"Mum tried a lot too, Lils, but no one can flatten this hair," laughed James. "Not even dad's potion."
Lily laughed remembering how Sirius has emptied two bottles of Sleekeazy's Hair Potion on James last year on a dare from Remus to flatten James' hair without transfiguring the hair, after an hour of hard work, Sirius has given up.
After breakfast they all proceeded out to the gardens where Felix was chasing gnomes, she spotted the family coming out and rushed towards them.
She spotted the broom in Harry's hand and stopped abruptly, looking at the broom with fear.
James laughed at this.
"Don't worry Felix, the broom will not hit you," said Lily suppressing her own laugh.
The cat proceeded carefully and walked up to Lily.
"Felix is a cat," said Violet in a singsong.
"Yes," smiled Lily at her. "And who delivers our letter, Vi?"
"Owl," answered Vi cheerfully.
"And who's the best, mum or dad?" asked James.
"Harry is best," replied Vi.
Both James and Lily pouted while Harry grinned.
"Good girl, Vi," he said.
"Her answer previously was, dad," James said as he removed the hair from Vi's mouth.
"No, it was, mum," Lily argued.
"Whatever," said James putting down Vi. "Now, Dad's gonna play with your brother and you'll cheer for me, okay?" Vi nodded. James kissed her.
Harry has already gone forward with his and James' broom.
James gave Lily a kiss then.
"He's only seven, is it safe?" she has said this statement since Harry's seventh birthday when James had got him a new broom which went much higher in the air and not just four feet.
James hugged her, "Don't worry, the broom is for training children, it is charmed to avoid accidents and besides I have placed charms all around the place so it doesn't fly away or crash in the ground," he gave her the same answer. Lily nodded and gave him a kiss.
"All the best," she whispered in his ear, and James grinned. "I swear to Merlin, Potter if you tell Harry that I said this then beware you'll have to sleep on the couch for a month."
"Can you resist me for a month?" James smirked cockily.
Lily's face turned to match the colour of her hair, then after a moment she leaned into him and whispered, "Who said we can't do it on the couch?"
James chuckled and gave her a kiss as Harry called him.
Lily sat on the soft grass with Violet in her lap, and Felix has gone back to chasing gnomes. Both the girls were cheering for the boys who were trying to catch the snitch. Vi clapped as Harry caught the snitch and then turned to her mother.
"I want to play too," she said. "My broom stays near the ground only."
"You'll play too, dear once you are big like your brother, then I'll get you a broom too, a better broom than Harry, okay?" Lily smiled.
"And I will beat, Harry," said Vi raising her hand in celebration as Harry does after catching snitch each time, Lily laughed.
James looked at her when he heard her laughter, their eyes locked and they both exchanged happy smiles. Harry has caught the snitch again and was celebrating in the air while Vi clapped.
Both James and Lily winked and James returned to play another with Harry.
On September 1st, 1991.
The couple had returned to Godric's Hollow, as it was on the outskirt of London and thus a better place now they both had decided to began doing work as Harry was going to Hogwarts and in two years Violet will go there too.
"Mum, it's 10 already, we'll be late," shouted Harry from the living room, he was already dressed and packed. Violet was sad that she will not see him till Christmas.
Sirius and Marls were there too with their twins, to accompany the Potters.
"Just coming, dear," shouted Lily from the kitchen.
After five minutes James and Lily appeared in the living room, wet from head to toe and covered in soap foams.
"What happened to you two?" asked Sirius looking shocked.
"We. . .er. . . we were packing Harry food for the train and I began cleaning the plates and then we were fighting," said James sheepishly and Lily blushed.
"What age are you two?" said Marls shaking her head and laughing along with Sirius and the kids.
"See, I told you to use magic," Lily whispered.
"Don't blame it on me, you found me hot with the foam on my cheeks which got there while I brushed it, and then you took more foam and put it on my other cheek and nose," James whispered back.
"You were looking funny and not hot, I just improved it," Lily giggled. "And besides you were the one who dumped half the soap water on me."
"I was and am looking hot," said James defensively but Lily giggled harder. "You said it yourself in there."
"We can continue the foam fight afterwards," Lily whispered in a seductive tone. "And I will prove to you that you're not hot at all, I am much hotter than you."
"You're a minx," he pinched her lightly on the waist and she squeaked and hit his arm.
"Let's. . .let's go, we still have enough time," she said looking at the wall clock.
"You both should first get changed," said Marls.
"Yeah, no one will like to see a hero who defeated the dark lord in this state," chuckled Sirius.
This was another reason why James and Lily had stayed away from most of the Wizarding world, they didn't wanted their children to face the burden much. Now after twelve years, it all has calmed down.
They both had told their children about it last year so as they get to hear it from their parents first and not someone else, they both already knew that there was a dark wizard who has died and that their parents has fought against him but they didn't knew that the dark lord was killed by their father.
"How will we get in, dad," asked Harry.
"Come with me," James said taking hold of Harry and his luggage and they both ran through the pillar. Soon Lily and Violet appeared too.
"Cool," said Violet looking back at the pillar.
On Platform nine-three-by-four, they met Mary, Peter, and Remus, all of them had come there just for a reunion.
"I didn't know you would make it, Moony," said James hugging him.
"Well, I will reach Hogwarts before dinner, so no problem," Remus
"Twenty years ago, we all barely knew each other, well except for me and Marls," said James looking at his six closest friends.
"Yeah, time flew so fast," said Mary looking at Harry and the two Black girls who had put their luggage on the train.
"Hey, the Longbottms," said Marlene, and they all saw them, Frank and Alice along with Neville and Frank's mother.
Nearby they were the Weasley family, Sirius pointed towards the twins who were holding an old parchment where words appeared, they then muttered, "Mischief managed," and the words disappeared.
"Is that, what I think it is?" said Lily. "But I thought you lot had turned it to Filch after the battle."
James nodded, "We didn't turn it in, he caught us that night with the parchment during the celebration, and as he has seen us with it many times earlier when we were students and has even confiscated it once but we used to stole it back from his office but on that night we decided to leave it in the office. As the one who deserves the map should be the one who has the skills to get it from Fitch's office and then to guess the password from the hints provided by . . ."
"Messrs. Moony," said Remus.
"Wormtail," said Peter.
"Padfoot," said Sirius.
"And Prongs," finished James.
"So, the twins lived up to the Prewett brothers' expectations," said Marlene.
The scarlet engine whistled.
Lily and James, along with Violet reached the window of the compartment in which Harry was sitting with a red-haired boy, the Black twins had gone to meet the Weasley twins to know about their pranks.
"All the best, Harry," said Lily. "Write to us once when you get there and send it with Hedwig."
"What house I'll get and how are we sorted? You both haven't told me," asked Harry.
"Finding out yourself will be more fun," replied James smiling at him.
"I will miss you," said Vi.
"I will miss you too, Vi," said Harry. "And you both too."
"We'll miss you too, dear," said Lily, her eyes watery.
James gave Lily a side hug, "Use the cloak properly, and you are not allowed to go in Forbidden Forest, Remus will be watching you. Use it for fun only," James said and Lily rolled her eyes. "Say hello to Professor McGonagall and Hagrid from us. And Slughorn too."
"That I think will not be needed," snorted Lily. "He'll attack you first."
James laughed and Harry nodded grinning at his parents and sister.
The train began to move.
"Bye, Harry, send me letters or I will send you howlers," shouted Vi.
"Of course, I will," said Harry waving at them.
They continued waving and saying goodbyes until the train took a turn and disappeared.
Violet became sad and hugged her mother, who was in tears.
James put an arm around Lily's shoulder and gave her a kiss on the temple.
She looked at him and smiled, and put her arm around his waist while holding Vi with the other.
James inhaled sharply and let out a low groan putting his hand on his heart.
"What?" Lily asked concernedly.
James opened the top two buttons of his shirt and looked to see what has happened.
"The scar, it's finally gone," he said and she too saw the scar in lightning bolt shape gone.
"I think we both know what it was about then," she smiled.
"Yeah, I completed my promise, accompanied my son here, and today it's gone," he smiled at her.
"So have you decided yet? Quidditch or a job in Ministry?" she asked him stroking Violet's head.
"I am in my 30s now, Lils, and haven't played professionally in a decade but I was thinking of a part-time coach but I want to work with you," he replied. "What are you thinking?"
"Till now housewife was good as Harry and Vi were with us but Harry's gone and soon will Vi, so I think I will get a job, a job in Ministry will be good, Marls will be there but you should do what you want, James," said Lily.
"I liked playing more than coaching and training others, with Harry and Vi it's fun but with others, I don't like the idea much," shrugged James. "I will join the ministry too, since the war, the ministry has tried to give equality to others but still a lot is left, so I am joining Ministry."
Lily smiled, "It'll be fun."
"Yeah," he said. "Let's head back now."
"Come on, Vi, don't be sad, we're going to see a movie," said Lily to the sad girl, whose face brightened up.
"Which movie?" she asked.
"Home Alone," grinned James.
Violet walked in between them, holding one hand of each.
James looked at Lily, and she looked at her as they reached the pillar to exit the station.
"I love you, until the very end," James said to her.
"I love you too, until the very end," Lily said to him.
They exited the platform nine three by four.

P.S.:: I enjoyed writing this story so much that I can't even describe it. It might be horrible but I loved writing it and rereading it.
THANK YOU!
