Chapter fifteen

It had been a long seven years but Sirius and Evan had both finished their masters in wand making and wand lore. They planned to make custom made wands instead of a bunch of wands and hoped they matched a witch or wizard.

During this time Sirius married his long-time girlfriend, Caroline, a witch who worked in the floo network office in the Australian ministry.

Evan was engaged to a muggleborn girl he met while touring around Australia. He had been on many holidays to different countries, but he had never really seen Australia even though the island he lived on was part of that country. Jasmine had been holidaying after quitting her job before deciding what she wanted to do. She liked to experiment with potions and after some time she decided to give working for the department of experimental charms and potions a try. She ended up inventing two new potions during her first year, now she was known as one of the premier potions mistresses in the magical world. Some call her a potions master but she always tells them she is not a man so it's potions mistress. Sirius always jokes that Evan has a mistress as well as a girlfriend. That usually cause the start of a prank war.

Evan and Sirius set up two workshops in both the magical shopping alleys. Because Australia was such a big country even if it didn't have anyone near the population as England or America. They figured having two wands shops in different locations would work. If someone wanted to just walk into a shop and buy a wand that worked well for them then they could go to the one in Kangaroo alley. If they wanted to take the time and had a custom made wand that would be the perfect match, then they could go to Dingo alley. The floo network linked both shopping districts so you could floo from any public floo network. Sirius would run the shop in Dingo Alley, while Evan ran the shop in Kangaroo Alley.

They all lived on the island, along with Remus and his wife, Tonks, Sirius's cousin, but now they all had their own homes. They were spaced out so they all had privacy.

When Remus had taken a trip to England to pick up some books he could not buy in Australia, he had literally bumped into Nymphadora Tonks who liked to go by the name tonks. They ended up having dinner as Tonks wanted to know how her cousin was doing after the death of Harry. After that first dinner, they had many more. When they began to have feelings for each other, Remus explained that he would not stay in England, he then explained about the island and the Australian ministry. Remus also explained about his furry little problem which didn't seem to bother Tonks at all. Tonks had come for a holiday and to spend time with Remus, and never left. Naturally she went to England to visit her parent's, but she moved in with Remus straight away. A month later they were married. Tonks got a job at the Australian ministry, again as an auror.

Remus was hired by Sirius and Evan. They didn't have a lot of time to go travelling around the world looking for the perfect wood to use for wands or to get bits of magical beings to use for wand cores. It was Remus's job to find and buy everything they needed.

Evan had wanted to take a week off so Remus looked after the shop in Kangaroo Alley. The two men though Evan wanted to go away with his fiancée, but that's not what Evan wanted to do.

Evan took a trip to England. He had not been back and he was nervous about being there. But there was something he wanted to do.

Sirius had given Evan the information he needed, without knowing Evan planned to use that information.

Evan entered the garden nursery and looked around. He made it seem like he was looking for some specific plants. What he was really doing was watching the tall man tend to the plants. As he watched the man he saw a little girl with bushy brown hair who looked to be around three or four years old, she wrapped her arms around the man's legs. A minute later a woman walked up to them, a woman who also had bushy brown hair and a very large stomach.

Evan watched a pregnant Hermione, along with Neville and their daughter. Sirius had told him that his two friends married a year after leaving Hogwarts. Sirius explained what Hermione went on to do, all because of what Harry went through. Sirius had also told Evan that it started right after they all believed Harry died. Both Hermione and Neville worked alongside Poppy Pomfrey to help troubled kids. Hermione might be taking time off while she was pregnant and had a small daughter, but she still worked with teenagers who needed help. The garden centre that Harry had left Neville had become known around the world for having the best plants. Any good potions master or mistress would go to the Lightning Garden Centre, which was run and owned by the Longbottom's. Evan had been moved that Neville had named the centre after him without using his actual name. There was even a picture of a lightning bolt at the entrance to the garden centre.

Even never told anyone he was going to see his friends. He knew they would be worried. He had no intention of telling them who he really was, Evan just wanted to see for himself that Hermione and Neville had a good life and were doing okay. From what Evan could see, they had everything they wanted.

After finally watching them for more than a half an hour, Neville walked up to Evan.

'Is there something I can help you with?'

'Yes, I would like these three plants, if you have them.' Evan handed Neville some parchment. 'My fiancée asked me to pick them up for her since I was going to be in the area. She explained this is the only place she will buy the plants she needs for her potions.'

'I'm pleased she is happy with the plants we grow,' Neville flicked his wand and the three plants floated towards them. 'Is there anything else I can do for you sir?'

'No, thank you,' Evan picked up his purchases, 'I do like your symbol for the centre Mr Longbottom. I was always fascinated by lightning storms and the way lightning looks. I had friends tell me I should get a lightning tattoo. I never did, but it still like the look. Again, thanks for this, jasmine will be happy.'

'Jasmine Cooper?'

'Yes,' Evan smiled.

'She's a great potions mistress and not afraid to tell anyone not to call her a potions master.'

Evan laughed, 'Oh yes, many tried to call her a master. After a tongue lashing they never called her a master again. Well I best go and let you get back to your plants, and,' Evan gestured towards the woman and child, 'your family.' Evan gave Neville a smile, gave Hermione a smile, waved to the little girl before leaving.

After calling Dobby to take the plants home to his fiancée, Evan disapparated to his next destination. He paid his entry and walked into the animal reserve for magical creatures.

Evan had been watching the animals while he looked for the owner. He wondered if she might not be here that day and wondered if he could find out when she would be.

'You know, I never like to cry. I cried when my mother died, I was nine. But when I was thirteen I didn't think I was ever going to stop crying.'

Evan sighed before he turned to face the blond woman, 'I never meant for you to cry.'

'I know, I even know why you did it. I named my daughter after you.'

'You have a daughter name…' Evan looked around the whispered, 'Harry?'

'No silly, Lightning and my son is named Sonny. So we have the moon, the sun and the lightning.'

Evan couldn't stop himself, he hugged Luna, 'No one can ever know Luna.'

'I know and no one will ever know, Evan. So if it's going to be a forever type secret. Why are you here?'

'I've been wanting to see a few people for years but didn't have the courage to do it. I got engaged recently, I've opened a business with my dad, who is married now so is my uncle. I realised I had a family and it was growing. But something seemed to be missing. I realised I needed to see a few old friends just so I know they were okay. You seem to be good Luna, are you happy?'

'Oh tremendously happy. You gave me the life I always hoped to have, even if I would have preferred to keep you in my life. But I know it could have been suspicious if we kept in contact that is why I never contacted you.'

'I wanted to, so many times but I always bailed. But I saw Hermione and Neville just before I came here. They are happy and so are you. Now I know I can really put that part of my life behind me and start my new life with my soon to be wife and hopefully a few kids in the near future.'

'Oh you'll have kids…Evan, six of them. Three sets of twins, all identical.'

Evan's eyes widened and he felt like his legs were going to give out. If anyone else had told him that he would never believe it. But Luna always saw things no one else could, and she knew things no one else knew. If she said he was going to be a father of six kids, three sets of twins, then he knew he would have to expand his house and probably do that very soon.

After leaving Luna, after another hug, Evan had one more person to see, but this person would not see Evan.

Evan stood on the hill under his invisibility cloak staring down at the red headed man playing with two children with blond hair. The blond woman was smiling as she watched her husband and kids.

It took Evan a long time to get over the betrayal he felt from his onetime friend, Ron Weasley. By the time he got his memory back, Sirius and Remus had told him how much Ron had changed. He went from being lazy and not wanting to do any school work to becoming head boy and getting eight o's in his N.E.W.T.s. He married his long-time girlfriend, Lavender Brown. He used the thousand galleons Harry left him to help Lavender start her own clothing shop with her own fashion label. Ron went on to become an auror and was now the deputy head auror who will one day become the head auror. It might have taken Harry to take his own life for Ron to turn his life around, but as Evan stood there watching, he knew things had worked out how they were supposed to.

Evan smiled down at Ron playing with his two kids before he turned and walked away. He could now return home, marry Jasmine, make the business a success and get ready to add six kids to their ever growing family.

Evan Black, formally known as Harry Potter finally had the life he always wanted.
