I have decided to end the story here. I'm sorry there will be no sequel or anything else.

Over the next month Hermione and Draco began to heal. The trauma Hermione had gone through, everything from the chains to the deaths, it was all looking brighter as she thought less and less about it. As soon as she could she resumed classes, wondering exactly how she would be able to catch up with the rest of her year in time for N.E.W.T.'s…but somehow she managed. In her final year Hermione spent less time focusing on her school work, of course she didn't neglect it, she just spent some of the time she used to spend in the library out on the grounds with her friends and new boyfriend.

Draco and Hermione had started dating shortly after the ordeal. They became as close as a couple could be. They knew what bugged the other and what the other enjoyed. They also knew how to comfort each other and had helped each other heal. When word had reached Draco's family about his relationship with Hermione his father had disowned him. He was taken out of the will and told never to return home. This had come as a crashing blow to Draco, who then seriously considered leaving Hermione. After many fights and many thrown objects, Draco "saw the error of his ways" as Hermione put it. He proposed a week before graduation and Hermione accepted (of course!).

Draco never did become great friends with Harry or Ron but he tolerated them and they tolerated him. Surprisingly Ginny and Draco had become very close. He took her in and taught her everything there was to know. She became like little sister he had never had, much to Ron's annoyance. Draco showed her how to duel, pull pranks, and even how to become the most wanted person in Hogwarts. This, as it turns out, doesn't take a whole lot, just confidence, money, and the right connections.

After Hogwarts Draco became a Quidditch player, it took a few years before anybody signed him on but once they did his team, Puddlemere United, (led by Oliver Wood) never lost a single match. Hermione went on to be an author, writing books on everything from Quidditch and why it fascinates men so to Voldemort and his unspeakable acts. Harry and Ron both became Aurors training for years before joining the ranks. In the "final battle" both Voldemort and Harry had been killed, fighting each other to the end. The wizarding world mourned the loss, none more than Ginny. Memorials and other such things were put up in honor of Harry Potter, the boy who devoted all 25 years of his life to killing Voldemort. No one knows exactly what happened to Ginny, all they knew is after Harry had been killed she went missing. Many took her for dead and her funeral was held on the anniversary of Harry's death. There's a statue that stands in the cemetery that both were buried in. It features a girl sitting on a bench looking forlorn and is if she was missing something. Most believe the statue represents Ginny and in it she's looking for Harry.

Even after Voldemort was defeated his followers still remained. Prejudices stayed and few things changed. The world wasn't suddenly wonderful with everyone getting along. It was still the real world. Hermione and Draco married and had 3 wonderful children: Narcissa, Charlotte, and Joshua. Narcissa, the eldest, was named after Draco's mother who was murdered by her husband in a fit of rage. Charlotte was named after Hermione's grandmother who had taught her everything she knew. And Joshua, the youngest, was named because Hermione firmly put her foot down against naming him Draco Jr. claiming Draco could be very conceited at times. All three were sorted into Gryffindor much to Draco's dislike. He often called them sissy's, what sort of Malfoy became a Gryffindor? All in all they lived a good life just happy to be together. Whenever anyone asked how two very different people fell in love they always replied, "It started in the muggle world."

YIPPY! Well thank you all for the WONDERFUL reviews and I hope you all enjoyed the story, I sure enjoyed writing it. I may have said this before but I don't remember: I really don't like stories that focus too much on the Voldemort thing, maybe because they always end up so serious. It's a tad ironic that my story is one of those stories I don't like to read! Oh well, what can I say, I have a dramatic side. Stay tuned for my next story...TRADING! Which I have already begun writing. The first chapter is complete and will be posted soon. I sure am gonna miss this story though. But all good things must come to an end.
