oooOOOoooOOOooo Chapter 39 Epilogue
One year later
Harry came out of his last OWL exam with a relieved sigh. He still intended to take his NEWT exams but Hermione and Gabrielle had agreed that studying with a tutor would be better, considering the other opportunities they had. Harry had been offered a spot as a second string seeker for the Corbeaux. He was building his skills fast towards being their clencher when the main seeker couldn't play. The woman planned to retire in two years. Harry believed he had an excellent shot at replacing her.
Hermione and Gabrielle were both starting masteries while studying for the NEWT level exams. They wanted to learn as much as possible to open an enchanter's shop together. The books Harry had unearthed when he gained access to the Peverell vaults could revolutionize several magical trades. The Peverell's were prolific enchanters. Lily intended to study right alongside them while James intended to join the pranking business with Moony, Padfoot, Fred, and George. Their Paris shop was set to open in two weeks. They had successfully purchased the rights to Zonko's products and planned to start production right away. They hired the Prewett twins to manage their UK Branch. None of them wanted to go to the awful place and take care of it personally.
Fred, George, and Angelina had pulled a merry prank on everyone when they took their NEWT exams at the end of their sixth year instead of at the end of their seventh. They moved to France right away with Harry and his group, taking on their mastery studies and taking the city of lights by storm.
Molly and Arthur were regular visitors, coming once per month to spend a weekend with the boy they considered to be one of their own and his family. Ginny elected not to visit with her parents, even though she was tentatively welcomed. She felt it might not be good for her recovery.
Ron was still in the Rejuvenating Youth House. He wasn't well enough yet to be released on probation. His parents visited him once a month as well. He was never appreciative.
James and Lily took to life with a grand aplomb. Harry grinned at the thought of his baby sister, Rosemary. Harry had tried to return the Potter lordship to his parents but they didn't want it. Instead, they took a house in Harry's enclave and a family stipend like everyone else. Harry had already set up trust accounts for his lads, his sister, and Neomie.
Tonks and Remus moved in together and planned to be married in the spring. They didn't know it yet but that timeline would be rushed when they found out they had a little surprise of their own on the way.
Bill received Jean Claude's blessing to ask for Fleur's hand in marriage. Bill gave her a promise ring on Valentine's Day with all of their friends and family present. It was a beautiful sight. Bill and Fleur worked together to manage Harry's various collections. Thanks to a happy twist of fate, Harry inherited the Malfoy and LeStrange vaults and properties when they were all found to be muggles. The entire batch of death eaters were transferred to muggle prisons for the rest of their lives. It was the worst punishment that could have happened to Naricca Malfoy and her crazy sister Bellatrix. Even Draco's magic was drained, as he was secretly marked as a death eater. He was tossed out of Hogwarts and into a group home for muggles until he turned 18 years old. He visited his mother every month in prison. They were both very unhappy with their lives.
Harry couldn't believe how lucky he had been. He watched his father and Sirius chase his boys around on their brooms and knew he was the luckiest chap in the whole wide world. Hermione and Gabrielle sat nearby with Remus, Fred, George, Lily, and Angelina as they studied for the mastery exams.
Jean Claude and Julia came into the courtyard, following Neomie who wanted to see Lily's new baby girl who was floating in a bassinet nearby.
Harry felt so happy, he wasn't sure what could possibly make his life better.
He was grateful and thankful everyday to whatever power had brought him to this place.
He looked up and saw the full moon. He thought of Luna and the Goddess Selene. He said a little prayer of thanks and hope, somehow, they both could hear him.
