Epilogue

Epilogue

Four tombs stood on the thriving grounds. Four different names, four very different generations, four great men. The captions were all different but related. Short and sweet as they always were. Three had the same death date, and one was considered out of place. But they all fit; the lost boys who had all found their home at Hogwarts, so here is where they lay; all four white and beautiful, all four shadowed by one person.

May stood staring at the four tombs. Over a year had passed and it still hurt like hell to stand here. It was almost as standing there staring at her. Snape, brooding as always, Tom, shooting glances at her frequently to make sure she was still there, Harry and Dumbledore, smiling at her.

Oh Harry. So selfless and pure! Died to save the world! She sighed. What a waste. And that's when she spotted him. She sighed again, she knew she had broken his heart when she disappeared, and now here she was. The last place she had been relatively normal around him.

He watched quietly from a distance. May wanted to go to him so bad, but it hurt! It hurt so much! Every time she looked at him all she could remember was the past, she could never see the future with him. Didn't that mean that they weren't supposed to have one?

He began to approach and May immediately began to panic. What should she do? Disapparate or stay? If she stayed it would only make the pain worse when she finally had the strength to leave. The both seemed like horrible choices but she had to decide quickly! He was so close to her now! She began to hyperventilate; she had no choice she had to leave!

She began her turn, about to disapparate but he grabbed her arm.

"May, please don't go!" Her breathing still rather raged sped up to what anyone would think unhealthy. Draco however wasn't going to let her get away so easily. He wrapped an arm around her waist and held her hand in his palm.

"May," he whispered. "May, its over. Nothing is going to bring them back! Especially not your running away. You've already come back. Please don't leave me again." May stopped breathing completely as he spoke to her. She simply hadn't been giving his memory much credit. He was so much more perfect in person than in her thoughts. But isn't everything better live?

"Breathe May," She exhaled her breathe and tried to organize her thoughts. Right, she was just about to leave…

Draco thumb began to stroke her cheek as May's resolve sank lower and lower. Could she come back again? Could she reside in England once more (she had moved out of the country, the same day as Tom's funeral)? It didn't seem like Draco was giving her much of an option…

He had already begun to kiss her forehead, her temple, cheek, jaw, nose.

"I still love you…so much." He whispered. May finally broke.

"I've n-never stopped l-loving you."

Draco took her hand in his and noticed his promise ring still lay on her finger. He smiled slightly.

"I promised to always be by your side and to make you happy. It would certainly be easier if you stopped being so uncooperative and just let me." He said, his tone light but serious at the same time.

He finally kissed her lips and apparated away with May wrapped firmly in his arms. He was never letting go again. Never.

A/N

So I decided to post the Epilogue, because now that my story is done…I feel empty lol, I have nothing to do!

So yeah…she did leave him but I figured I'd let there be a little chance for romance at the end! : )

Hope you enjoyed it and as a side note…I realize I was rude about reviews in my last AN :S but hey, I got more reviews on that chapter than any other! So an official apology for my frustrations on you guys.

So an official thanks for all those who did stick with me and reviewed my story.

And for future reference, reviews really do inspire!!
