Epilogue

AN: This did not want to be written. I procrastinated a lot with this much to my own shame. I want to thank everyone that has been reading this Reading as well as all of those that have taken the time to review, favourite, follow this story and even those that have PM'd me with suggestions for future stories.

P.S. The Poll is now closed with the winner, by a clear majority, being: Write them separate to give them the care they deserve.

I want to thank all 98 people that took the time to vote, and that does include the 2 that told me to decide myself and not waste their time (if only I could shake your hand for that given I only put it in as a joke).

As for this Epilogue, it will cover the rest of the Blood War first and then show what happened to the Readers after. I hope I have done the entire story, both of them, justice.

The War

It was decided that they needed to take steps to protect themselves before they could have any impact on the War itself. This was easily done as they all pitched in to secure Sirius's Flat which was known only to Peter, which was suspect as he never visited his supposed friend there.

It was also clear that they needed to deal with the Rat quickly but, as much as they would love to, they couldn't murder him. So he was found and given the Draught of the Living Dead until the War was over and he could be tried properly.

It was then decided that they not only had to deal with Voldemort, which was a lot easier given the fact they knew about his trinkets, and also deal with Dumbledore who was taking a beating politically from Alice and Augustus Longbottom.

It wasn't hard for them to find those that were sick of the war as it was clear the Ministry was useless and the Order was found to be ineffective thanks to Dumbledore's tactics. All they had to do was to actually act on their Intel and capture Death Eaters red handed, while of course using potentially lethal tactics much to Dumbledore's anger.

The argument between Sirius and Dumbledore quickly became legendary as it split the Order between those that wanted to finish the war and protect their families on one side with the other following Dumbledore with his redemption policy. It was clear that the man wasn't as malicious as his counterpart but he was clearly a problem.

With a new Faction formed they all met at Sirius's flat which was now under Fidelius Charm with Loki as the Secret Keeper until the War was over. This new Faction was quickly brought up to speed with the new information and gleefully helped plan the downfall of Voldemort and Dumbledore, many having lost respect for the old man.

It took several months in order to draw out Voldemort, who had yet to realise they had found his secret, and have a plan to get Dumbledore convicted for Treason by the Queen herself who had given them permission to do as needed to put down the terrorists threatening her country, going so far as to give them military support in the form of a squib SAS Unit. The plans went off without to much of a hitch and a squib named Harry sniped the Dark Lord as he monologued.

When Dumbledore tried to condemn their Faction the Wizard World found itself under siege by the Muggle side who were more than happy to knock the man off of his high horse and point out exactly why he was a major part of the problem before throwing him in a prison built just for him where he died after seventeen years of imprisonment.

With the War done the Potters and Longbottoms moved to America to live in peace as many targeted them for being the downfall of their master, fortunately such people were dealt with by the time their children went to the newly improved Hogwarts led by Filius Flitwick who no longer had to be careful because of his heritage and fully capable of stomping out trouble before it could escalate.

They did keep in touch with their friends that stayed in Britain, including ensuring that Dudley was taken care of when he was removed from his parents because of Vernon Dursley having a heart attack, totally natural of course, and the paramedics noting how overweight the young boy was. They knew they couldn't uproot him by moving him to America so he stayed with Andromeda Tonks who sorted the boy out. Petunia never recovered from the social whiplash or the fact she wasn't allowed near Dudley.

Nymphadora Tonks eventually found love in a most unexpected place, The Flamels who now had a reason to live thanks to the Teddy. The two Tonks were given their first dose of Elixir of Life upon their fiftieth birthdays, Teddy had many relationships but none that lasted longer than a month. Apparently women were just as close minded about Metamorphmagus as men were.

The Potters

Lily gave birth to her daughter Clover a few months after moving to America. They led a happy life with Lily brewing potions for the nearest hospitals, and any Hunters that were in need of the help, while James worked hard to purge all hostile supernatural elements from the town they and all their friends

His efforts was not unnoticed by the supernatural and he was quickly joined by those that wished to keep their families safe, no matter what species they were as the benign supernatural beings living there had spread the word that he was rather neutral as long as you didn't hurt anyone.

Harry saw the struggles his Father faced as several Factions were not happy at the sudden lose of their people in the city. This in turn inspired him to be a defender of the people unable to defend themselves which led to him getting into several fights with what was left of the close minded parts of Hogwarts.

It was a surprise to many when the Golden Gryffindor eloped with the Slytherin Ice Queen, Daphne Greengrass. It wasn't that much of a surprise that she was just as fierce a Hunter as her husband and together they had two daughters who wrapped their Father around their little fingers upon birth.

When James retired from his self appointed task Harry picked up where he left off while Daphne took over for Lily allowing the two eldest Potters to retire. They eventually died of old age with a smile on their faces not long after the announcement of them becoming great0grandparents.

Clover clearly took after her Father when it came to pranks much to her Brother's dismay, he was her favourite target growing up, but was instilled with the values of family from birth. This led her to be disgusted with the childishness of Britain and make friends with Luna Lovegood whom she named her son's godmother along with the older girl's husband as his godfather.

She supported her husband's endeavours and took over looking after the supplies as he took over the shop his parents built up from the ground. One of her saddest moments was when she saw her son marry the woman of his dreams and realising her little boy had grown up and was going to have a family of his own. She only really cheered up when she heard she had a grandchild on the way.

Sirius Black

After the War, Sirius joined his friends as they moved to America and became an Active Hunter widely praised by the Supernatural community not only for his skills but his compassion towards the victims. It was during these Hunts he met the Winchesters and quickly inserted himself in the role of surrogate Father when John got himself locked up for a while.

Whenever he had to leave them he left them with the Potters who quickly became family to the two boys who had saw far too much for their ages. Bobby Singer appeared during that time and was happy to see that the boys were being given a measure of their childhood back and to see that Dean was no longer forced to act like a Father to his Brother.

When John got out there was a loud and violent argument between him and Sirius that was only stopped because they had been in the Roadhouse owned by a recently widowed Ellen Harvelle. Sirius quickly became enamoured with the woman that broke his jaw and threatened to castrate him for almost spilling the beans about the supernatural to her daughter.

Despite that he was respectful of the fact she was grieving and offered to bring Jo to meet the Potters and Longbottoms. It took several years, alcohol and a certain group of teenagers before the two openly admitted to their mutual, Ellen having come to respect the Marauder for everything he had done, attraction. Jo was overjoyed to have a little brother in Regulus Black III and said as much to her boyfriend, Kyle Longbottom.

Both Sirius and Ellen died during an attack on the Roadhouse led by an infuriated Lilith. Their children survived to succeed and eventually avenge them, Jo dealing the final blow thus locking the Righteous Man Seal leading the demons to believe they couldn't ever free Lucifer.

Remus Lupin

After the War, Remus joined his friends as they moved to America where he became a research monkey for the Hunters all around the country. Many praised the man for his accurate information and those that eventually learned of his curse grew to respect the man for the precautions he took.

Using his profits he started an orphanage for those that were of similar circumstances as he had. The one time a close minded Hunter got it in his head to burn down the 'abominations' did not end well for the Hunter. It was said the man quit hunting and flinched whenever he saw Amber, after his three year recovery time for his broken body of course.

He eventually settled down with the Vampire Lenore who had moved her people to help when she heard of his efforts. She ensured that his legacy lived on through their many children, adopted and biological, after she was cured from her Vampirism, thanks to the efforts of Lily Potter.

The Longbottoms

Not long after travelling to America, Alice found herself pregnant with another son who she would later name Kyle much to the joy of Frank and his Mother Augustus, who stayed in Britain to help maintain the Longbottom Assets.

Together the couple raised their children to be gentlemen to their allies and demons to their foes in amidst starting up a supply shop that would supply anyone in the know of the supernatural with what they would need, as long as it was ethical. It was a decision that would annoy their daughter as both her elder brothers ensured she had no boyfriends for long, if they couldn't do something themselves they had no problem asking any of the regular customers to keep an eye out.

Their children did attend the new Hogwarts once it was clear that Dumbledore was no longer an issue. They all did well in their classes and succeeded where they applied themselves. They caught many hearts as well but Neville only had eyes for Clover, Kyle was snapped up by Jo and Lucy had her pen pal Shiro wrapped around her finger.

Neville grew up to have a single son named Gabriel after marrying Clover and took over hi parents shop when they retired, which he had helped by growing the ingredients for when he could.

Kyle remade the Roadhouse to be bigger and better for the Hunter Community and had one daughter he named Ellen after her grandmother. It was a little known fact that when he married Jo he took her name.

Lucy moved over to Japan to be near her pen pal and almost gave her father a heart attack when she joined his small Harem which included his childhood friend and both their servants from a magical tournament/war. Alice loved the fact she had so many grandchildren even if Lucy only gave birth to three of the eight children, Sakura birthed three while the servants birthed one son each.

Gabriel

The Trickster worked hard to free Lucifer without causing destruction or alerting Michael to his plans. It took a long time before he succeeded, with rather large hints from his Father. It took showing him his memories to stop Lucifer from gathering his forces and assaulting Heaven.

Let it not be said that he cared not for his brothers. Together the two archangels, alongside an overenthusiastic Zelretch, routed out the corruption of Heaven allowing them to return to Earth to retire from War, aside from Lucifer hunting down a certain pagan. Of course Loki acted as a willing helper to the chaos Zelretch was willing to bestow upon anyone that caught his eye, including a certain white haired Counter Guardian.

Loki eventually met a collage student Sam and swallowed his pride to gain a female vessel as his Sam had no interest in men unlike his counterpart. Sam, while not an overly active Hunter, had no problems protecting his future wife's children and eventually the ones they had together, who inherited the best and worst of their parents and caused many headaches.

As for Lucifer, he travelled the world looking for the spark his other found in Jade and found it with Luna Lovegood who accepted him for all that he was and thanked him for the Crumpled Horned Snorkack he gifted her upon her graduation, in front of all her classmates.

Castiel

Under the tutelage of Gabriel and Zelretch, Castiel learnt much about humans and slowly but surely came into his own personality outside of the soldier one he was brainwashed into.

He eventually struck out on his as a Hunter, doing as God asked of Angels all those millennia ago. This was how he met the teenage Dean who had started doing hunts on his own. It was no surprise to anyone in the know that after much dancing around they eventually started dating and even adopted a daughter that had been orphaned by a Demon Deal.

Said daughter grew up to have a happy childhood and a successful Hunter before retiring to raise her children with Gabriel Neville Longbottom who was a mirror of his Father but clearly his mother's son, much to Castiel's silent horror and the joy of Loki and Zelretch.

Well that's this story done. Let me know if I missed anything you feel important and if you make a good case I will slip it in, maybe.
