Hello. Thank you one last time for reading the story, your
great reviews, and all the kudos.
Just so you know, I honestly don't have an epilogue or
a sequel for this, as the characters haven't given me more to say.
But, here's what I do think...
Beth/Blaise - They have three
children, girl-boy-girl. All three have some magical abilities, but only the
youngest girl will go to a magical school to further her abilities. Their son
uses his abilities to get girls and is very smart. And, the oldest girl, at heart
a Slytherin, uses her abilities to get in and out of the trouble. They are all
lovely, happy, children and love spending time with their parent's friends'
children. And, they think it's super cool that they
can get to and from Draco and Hermione's manor on the edge of
place to visit, because Draco took a part of their grounds and installed both a
practice quidditch pitch and an ongoing carnival with
every ride imaginable. The youngest daughter has a crush on Snoop and Ron's
son.
Georgina/Ron - They are happily
married after getting through their rough patch and have also stayed in the
States, although they go back and forth to visit his family and friends quite
regularly. Their only child, a boy, has his mother's inquisitiveness and his
father's looks, although his hair is a bit darker. He spends all his time
reading the book his Aunt Hermione gave him, Hogwarts, A History, in
preparation for the day he goes. And, although he won't admit it out loud, he
wants to be in Ravenclaw. He is very good at sports, and is a rather adapt
Being from such a large family, Ron didn't want more children, and Snoop was
more than fine with that.
Lucius/Narcissa - As a couple they
are as strong as ever. Lucius has softened a bit more, but maintains his edge.
He now allows himself one day a month to have a two-hour debate with Hermione
over one event from their shared past, as a way of helping them both heal. He
dotes on all four of his grandchildren, but his unspoken favorite, is the only
boy, who has given him a chance to do the things he never got to do with Draco
as a child. Narcissa has gained some weight and looks less skeletal and more
motherly, and she is finally happy with her life. She loves being a grandmother
and spends a lot of time with Jane as they lunch, babysit, or talk on the
muggle telephone Hermione insisted they install. Both love they fact that
Hermione and Draco moved back to
so the children could be closer to their grandparents. But, even more, they
love that they now have real discussions and spend time with their son.
Rich/Julie - They are more than
happy to have their daughter living closer, and enjoy spending time with their
grandchildren. Rich has begun to enjoy the rare times he spends with Lucius at
family events, as he enjoys the man’s biting humor. They spend a lot of time
with Narcissa, as she has embraced the learning of all things muggle. When
their third grandchild was born, they retired from working at the various
locations of their dentistry practice, to devote more time to helping their
daughter and son-in-law. Rich enjoys his standing early Saturday morning
meetings with Draco, as the younger man learns how to play golf.
Draco - He joined the British
Ministry aurors and works closely with Harry. They
are not partners, but often get each other's opinions on cases they are working
on over dinners at one another's homes. Their purchase of joint
stories for weeks. Draco and Ron still don't like each other, but maturity and
the ability to keep their conversations solely focused on their shared
interests, has made things go more smoothly than either would have believed. He
loves Hermione more each day and enjoys bragging to others about her success.
Hermione - She expanded her
counseling practice until there were offices all over the country, and
counselors in most every specialty. When they moved back to
she expanded her practice there and has offices in both muggle
Alley. She loves Draco and finds a new reason to like him almost every day. She
likes to tell everyone she meets how great he is in his auror
position and how fast he is rising in the ranks. She also hopes after their
fifth child is born to be able to convince Draco that he doesn't actually need
his own quidditch team.
Draco/Hermione – why, the lived
happily ever after. Of course!
While I send out hugs of appreciation to everyone who has read this story, I

people for their words of encouragement, praise, and support. I do so love you
