A/N: Oh, it's here. This is the last and final chapter of Ron Weasley, the Slytherin. Wow, I started this story about a year and a half ago. For some reason, it doesn't feel like it's been that long. I want to give out some thanks. I want to thank my readers: heronlove, rhmac12, Loony-1995, ShePotter, HilaryWeasley, ThePrimusLune, RyanRow02, SilverDoe23, Patrinorama, joker44, susieQ41, milan4ever, Leonardo00, pearls-and-crystal-blues, ronandhermioneismagical, light, ykickamoocow111, sugarfree25, mishmish10, miuri, ErinFabu, Snogwarts100 and many others. If I didn't mention you, I still also want to say thank you for liking this story, putting reviews and/or putting this story on your favorites. I really appreciate it. I really had a lot of fun writing this story.

There are two parts to this story, the first part will be like what happened to certain characters' lives and the 2nd part will be the Epilogue from the Deathly Hallows.

(Disclaimer: Oh...how I wish I did own Harry Potter, but I don't. J.K. Rowling really is the master. It was obvious she supported the Ron and Hermione ship from the beginning of the first book to the end. We, Ron and Hermione fans, thank you J.K. Rowling!)

Ch. 36
Epilogue

What happened next...

After the battle of Hogwarts, Neville Longbottom entered the Auror's Division with Harry Potter to aid in the mission of bringing all remaining Death Eaters to justice. After six years of service, he decided to retire and take up the Herbology teaching position at Hogwarts after Professor Sprout retired. Since the end of Voldemort, Neville dated Hannah Abbott who eventually became his wife. Neville and Ron became closer friends after the Battle of Hogwarts.

Draco Malfoy avoided all trouble as much as he possibly could after the Battle of Hogwarts. He even donated money in the rebuilding of Hogwarts. His father, Lucius Malfoy, was imprisoned for his services as a Death Eater for a total of 110 years. Lucius never saw the light of day again. Draco stayed out of the spotlight for several years before growing bored of having nothing to do, even though he had enough money to live his whole life without getting a job. He decided to become the Potions teacher at Hogwarts where he would eventually be head of Slytherin. Ron and Draco remained best friends to the end of their time, despite Draco's loathing of muggleborns. Draco had learned to accept Hermione Granger as Ron's girlfriend.

Harry Potter entered the Auror's Division with Neville Longbottom. Harry did not retire early like Neville Longbottom, but he worked in the Aurors' for almost 30 years before retiring at an age where he was not physically fit enough to pursue after younger and faster criminals. Harry Potter also married Ginny Weasley who went on to play Quidditch professionally for a number of years before retiring. The pair lived happily together for the rest of their life. Harry Potter made peace with Draco Malfoy because of who Hermione Granger's boyfriend was.

Hermione Granger went back to Hogwarts to retake her 7th year, even though her boyfriend Ron wanted her to stay with him. She was able to change Ron's mind and Ron returned to his 7th year at Hogwarts. After Hogwarts, she went on to help House Elves in a high position at the Ministry of Magic in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Later on, she worked in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement where she went on to help change and improve a number of laws that was biased in favor of purebloods.

Ron Weasley, with reluctance, returned to Hogwarts to re-take his 7th year, even though he had been there for parts of it. There, he was Head Boy with Hermione Granger who was Head Girl as well and he also was the Quidditch Captain of the Slytherin team. With his keeper skills, he led Slytherin to the finals, but lost against Ginny Weasley and Gryffindor in the finals. However, he was approached by scouts of Puddlemere United. He accepted their offer to play keeper on their team. Unfortunately, he remained on the reserve position for two years before trying out for the Chudley Cannons keeper position. It was Ron's favorite team and the keeper for the Cannons had unexpectedly retired. He beat all the other keepers trying out for the position with flying colors. For the next 9 years, he was keeper for the Chudley Cannons before an injury forced him to retire. He then became the Chudley Cannons head coach after the owners discovered that Ron Weasley was an excellent strategist. During his life, he married the love of his life, Hermione Granger, which he considers his finest moment of his life. His parents still held some prejudice, but accepted Hermione Granger; although, Ron's mother became affectionate with Hermione Granger when she the two of them gave her grandchildren.

19 Years Later

Nineteen years after the battle of Hogwarts, Ron was currently parking his car in the parking lot of the train station. His daughter, Rose was going to Hogwarts today, not his son Hugo who was not yet 11 years old. Hermione Weasley stepped out of the car from the passenger side and helped Rose and Hugo out of the backseat. Ron turned off the car and stepped out. He looked at the train station and a smile formed on his face, reminding him of all the years he came to the train station for the ride to Hogwarts.

"Ron, come and help." Hermione spoke, breaking into Ron's thoughts. Ron turned to see Hermione struggling with Rose's things. "Oh sorry," he said as he immediately helped Hermione take out Rose's things out of the trunk of the car and all four of them walked towards the train station.

Inside, after they had walked through 9 3/4th, they were currently looking at the Hogwarts Express. Ron turned to Hermione, "Remember how all this started just in 6th year on this train?"

Hermione turned to look at Ron with a loving, but shy smile as a small blush crept up her neck. "Yes, Ronald, I remember. Who could forget that?"

Ron saw Draco Malfoy and Astoria Greengass helping Scorpious on the train. "Hey, be right back," Ron said to Hermione. Hermione nodded and she moved towards the Potter family with Rose and Hugo.

Ron stopped next to Draco and tapped him on the shoulder. Draco turned and smiled and they both hugged. "Hey, I haven't seen you in a month. How's it going?" Draco greeted.

"It's all good. Still the same. Hey, we should have a get together sometime this month. I'll make dinner this time." Ron smirked, remembering the last time Ron had invited Draco and Astoria to dinner at their house. Hermione had refused to let Ron make the dinner, wanting to show Ron her cooking skills had improved greatly. Hermione had decided to do something she never cooked before, lamb chops. It had turned out to be a disaster. To this day, Ron never let it down. Hermione was not a bad cook, but she definitely wasn't the best.

Draco chuckled, remembering the event as well. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. That okay, Astoria?"

Astoria turned away from helping Scorpious, "Yes, that sounds good. Send us a letter or floo us so we can work out when to have dinner."

Ron nodded and turned back to Draco who was currently looking at someone. He saw Draco give a curt nod and turned to see who he gave it to. It was Harry Potter who was with Ginny and their children. His wife and children were next to them as well.

"Well, I'll see you later, I've got to go back and help Rose onto the train." Ron waved at Draco and Astoria as he walked back to them.

Looking at the train, he continued his memory of when he became prefect partners with Hermione Granger during a meeting on the train. It certainly was fate and a life changing moment for him. If it did not happen, he felt like he would be a completely different person like he is nowadays. He felt that he would never have gotten to personally know Hermione Granger. Hermione Granger was his destiny and he would make sure they lived together for the rest of their lives to their death. Hermione Granger, now Hermione Weasley, was and is the greatest thing to happen to him. With that thought, he continued towards his family and his love. His life was definitely perfect.

A/N: There it is. Wow, I really am sad to see this end. Oh well. I hope I ended this story on a good note for all of you guys. I am glad for all your appreciation and support.

To end this Author's Note, I am now going to work on updating a Death Eater's Regrets and hope to update the chapter within the next 7 days! Once again, thank you all for reading this story.
