And here we are, the epilogue. I hoped you enjoyed it, it was fun to write. I especially enjoyed writing Azelma and Bahorel, which was quite a surprise.

Thank you all for your support, thanks for your reading. If you could give me one last review, it would make very happy. If you can't, thank you anyway.

So – here you are.

Epilogue: Twelve Years Later

It was early July, only two weeks after the disastrous end of the Triwizard Tournament. The meeting of the Order of Phoenix at 12 Grimmauld Place went as usual, only Dumbledore seemed a little distracted. He told them they were expecting a visit, but didn't tell them whom to expect. The Weasleys, who wanted to spend most of the summer keeping company to Sirius Black, weren't supposed to arrive for another week and even the members of the first Order couldn't think of anyone else who could help.

The visitors were announced by Mrs. Black's portrait screaming her head off. Sirius ran out to close the curtains and came back with a large group of people.

Their leader was tall and handsome in almost feminine way – golden hair, blue eyes, face of a Greek god. His hair was a bit shorter than Dumbledore remembered it, but the enthusiastic spark in his eyes hadn't changed. Next to him was a dark-haired woman, solemn, but confident. Her sister was still holding hands with her old sweetheart, and the golden rings suggested that the two Quidditch players got married. A beautiful blond woman kept close to her freckled husband, and the rest was there as well – the hypochondriac and the unlucky one and their shared lover, the drunk, the philosopher, the heart, the poet, the orphan, and even the little boy, who was now tall and handsome, but still a little boyish.

Bill Weasley ran forward to shake hands with the youngest one and Dumbledore himself greeted their leader.

"Sorry we are late, we were waiting for the Bahorels," said the leader.

"Our babysitter came late," the younger sister defended herself.

"That's all right, sit down," Dumbledore gestured to the empty chairs.

It took some time for the whole group to settle down, but when they did, the leader leaned forward and smiled.

"So, I heard you need someone to cause trouble."
