Epilogue

BEWARE THE BILLOWY CAPE OF DOOM-Epilogue.
The shadowy figures made their way through the gloomy, chilled and damp graveyard, but not even the dampness of the air could stop the pair from their most important task. The war had been over for 10 years and Krystall and her husband had made their way though it, but with lots of difficulties as many people on both sides had been hurt badly or killed whilst fighting. Krystall was just glad that her husband had finally gotten over the worst of his injuries, although it left him unable to walk without the aid of a cane and herself to nurse him back to health from the very brink of death. Krystall had married her husband some 5 years after leaving school and together had produced 3 wonderful children over the following years.
‘I am so glad that none of my darlings were involved with this monstrous war. Thank Merlin my Aunt and Uncle decided to move to Australia to retire. Sending my babes there for safety is one of the best and worst decisions I have ever had to make,’ thought Krystall as the cloak covered pair headed deeper into the graveyard. They soon reached their desired destination, a pair of sombre headstones with a beautifully carved granite phoenix, standing spread eagle between them, as a watchful sentry and guardian for all to see forever. Standing in front of the graves, looking at the statue, they stayed in respectful silence.
“I never got to really say goodbye to him,” Krystall said, breaking the silence softly.
“Neither did I my dear,” her husband replied. Krystall notice that he was now leaning quite heavily on his cane, so she steered him over to the sturdy bench nearby so he could watch her perform the task they had come up here to do. Ever since they had heard that their old friend had been killed during the final battle, they had been coming up here on the anniversary of the performance of the musical they had all been a part of whilst at school, so many years ago. Once Krystall was sure her husband was comfortable enough, she walked slowly back to the headstones. In her hand, she was holding a pair of dark red roses, both tied individually with a blood red ribbon, one for each of the graves of her beloved friend and his wife. Krystall silently read the epitaphs written on each of the headstones. The first read:
Remus John Lupin
Father of Teddy
Husband of Nymphadora
Friend of many persons, animal and spirits.
Rest In Peace
D.O.B: 23/05/1960 D.O.D:16/07/1998
Krystall placed one of the roses on this one before moving across to the next.
Nymphadora Lupin (nee Tonks)
Mother of Teddy
Wife of Remus
Fondly remembered as ‘Tonks’ by many
“Prefers to be known by her surname only!”
D.O.B:18/08/1973 D.O.D:16/07/1998
After reading this epitaph, Krystall placed the now lone rose on this particular grave and stepped back.
“At least you weren’t alone in the end Remus. You found love just like myself and Severus,” she whispered before turning and walking back towards her waiting, still seated husband. Krystall sat down next to Severus and they both sat in companionable silence, thinking of the good times they had all shared together.
As the sky darkened, caused by encroaching clouds which looked like a threatening thunderstorm, finally made the couple move from their perch and head back to their waiting car on the main road, which would take them back home to the warmth of their comfortable family home and their awaiting children.
“It upsets me that he never got to meet Adelaide, Elliot and Sabrina. He would have been their god-father, if you had consented my love,” Krystall said once they had settled in the car.
“That is true my dear, but don’t forget that he did meet Adelaide when she was only a babe. You brought her to the school the year that he was teaching there. It’s a shame Albus never got the chance to meet our dear Sabrina. I think he would have liked her best out of our three,” chuckled Severus as he remembered his former colleague and friend.
“Yes, he would be as proud as we are of our little darlings. I am surprised just how far Adelaide has gone in the Ministry and Elliot is forever finding more and more cures for the inflictions of many. Oh and dear Sabrina, thank goodness she has found a job that suits her entirely. Remember all of those injured animals she used to bring home. Thank Merlin Hagrid was still at the school when the children finally returned from Australia. He really liked our youngest the most.” They both had a little chuckle at this fact and where soon back home once more and in the warm and loving embraces of their now very grown children.
