Here it is, the epilogue to Book 2 and therefore the final upload in the second chapter of Avatar Harry's life. Unlike the last two chapters, the epilogue is actually being released before its scheduled release date (January 28th) and therefore this story has been completed ahead of schedule by two days. This book turned out to be a lot longer word wise than anticipated but the draft was written 18 months ago so a lot changes in that time, I am pretty sure that Book 3 will be shorter in word length given the nature of it but I cannot guarantee that at this time. Anyway, nothing else to add here so sit back and enjoy the final installment in Avatar: The Tale of Harry. Book 2: Equality.

Disclaimer: As always I own nothing related to either of these two great works of fiction.

Epilogue

At last, the day that Harry had been waiting for had finally come. Harry stood in his finest suit cut in the latest fashion from Ba Sing Se, complete with full Earth Kingdom colors and history. It had been a gift from King Wu, one of many as the Earth King had insisted on paying for the ceremony, well at least everything that was occurring within Earth Kingdom territory.

Wu had also insisted on personally officiating the ceremony, which given the fact that he was paying for this part of the ceremony meant that Harry could say no to his King's wishes. Harry had had to use earthbending so the aged and frail monarch could stand, under a white archway at the edge of King Bumi Park, but it was no problem for the Avatar and Harry wanted to help his King out.

Next to Harry was Ron and Neville in their finest outfits from their respective nations. Opposite was Luna in a bright, eye watering, yellow dress as the maid of honor and a very disgruntled looking Hedwig with frilly collar and flowers under her neck as the badgermole pawed at the earth but otherwise remained well behaved. As the Avatar's animal companion she had to be there, but it took all of Harry's control to avoid his badgermole making a scene and he knew that she would be interesting later when Harry could no longer keep an eye on her. It was the night of the summer solstice and the day of Harry and Ginny's wedding had arrived.

The wedding of the Avatar and the only Princess of the Southern Water Tribe, at least princess by blood as Fleur was a princess by marriage, was to be the event of the decade and the invites seen as the most exclusive and prized ones in years. All the World Leaders, along with the respective families sat in the front row of the outdoor venue. Behind them, friends from all walks of Harry and Ginny's life had gathered and were seated awaiting the ceremony to begin.

Pyrites was also in attendance, a few of Harry's detractors saw this as controversial given Pyrites' views and history but given what the former spymaster had done for them in liberating the Fire Nation, few saw it as a truly bad thing that Pyrites was there. Besides, while he was sitting in the second row, there were two fully garbed and armed Kyoshi Warriors on either side, much to Pyrites' displeasure, who were there to keep an eye on the man. That being said, the fact that the former Death Eater got an invite to such an exclusive and prestigious event had not helped lessen the man's incredible ego and he had been bragging about this for weeks according to Druzok.

Yes it would be a grand affair and all paid for by the various World Leaders, who had ultimately gotten into a pissing contest with each other over the wedding and their contributions to it, until Harry's mother was forced to intervene and chastise them like spoilt children. Harry had never seen the collective leaders of the various nations look so chastised as they had when his mother had told them off but it had had the intended results, they had all worked together to provide the best wedding possible for the Avatar and his love.

That was why they now had a lot of ice sculptures of Harry and Ginny tastefully placed around the park and maintained by a team of waterbenders. There were also statues of the other members of Team Avatar, and those who had fought by their sides against Voldemort and Hermione, all depicted scenes of their many victories. There were also earth statues of similar events everywhere. The earth statues would be auctioned off the following day to help raise money for the Victims of Hermione fund that Druzok had set up to help heal the Fire Nation.

Along with earth and water to represent to couple, there were other symbols from all the other nations. Druzok had somehow managed to persuade Lily to allow for a dragon fly coordinated and led by Charlie to fly over after the wedding right after they exchanged vows, though Harry knew his mother was already regretting that part. It was to be followed by a bison display from all five Air Temples that Milo had insisted on.

Wu, not wanting to be outdone by his fellow World Leaders, had tried to create a full 6 hour spectacle telling the history of the Earth Kingdom, including a full 2 hours at the end to detail Harry's personal history. However, that had to be put down by Harry due to length, cost, and the fact that knowing King Wu it would be way too elaborate. No, while the wedding would be grand in its own way, it would also be simple at the same time.

Harry smiled as he looked out over the gathered attendants and his friends while he awaited his bride. The world had been at peace ever since the end of the Fire Utopia almost 2 years ago and now they could look forward to a brighter future. There was still a lot to do to full right the wrongs of the Fire Utopia, and a handful of criminals to track down, but with Hermione buried beneath the desert, their only real enemy was the elusive Enlightened leaders who had gone underground since Hermione's defeat. Today, though, they could wait because today, and all that had recently led up to it, was one of joy.

As he was waiting, Harry thought back to his bachelor party three weeks before, or at least what he could remember of it, and the first true moment of fun he had had since before Voldemort had first attacked the Elemental Academy. Again various cities had bided on the honor of hosting the Avatar's bachelor party but in the end Ba Sing Se won as it was the capital of Harry's home nation and as such the most fitting city outside of Omashu. At least that was where the party had begun and the intention had been to remain there. Harry remembered the night starting in the Upper Ring but that the last thing he remembered before waking up in a cold drunk tank … in the Southern Water Tribal capital.

He had thought it must have been a wild night if he woke up in a different country, until he learned that he, Ron, Neville, Seamus and the other male friends he had made over the years and who had been present at the party had gone a fortnight long bender that had left a trail of destruction across all 7 nations. Harry learned that Neville had somehow ended up in the Northern Water Tribe, Seamus in the Southern Air Temple asleep in the arms of a statue of Avatar Aang, and Ron in the Western Air Temple cuddling with a baby bison in the bison pens out there. Ron had also taken the long way there, via the Foggy Swamp Tribe, while the others were scattered all over the world. Yes it was a stag do that would go down in history as unparalleled, which had been Ron's intentions, and in a league of its own.

Of course Luna had not divulged any secrets about the hen party to anyone. Harry knew that it had been a wild night for Ginny as well and that a good portion of Gaoling had been damaged by airbending, which given that the party began in the Southern Water Tribe capital was saying something, but other than that Harry knew nothing and frankly he didn't want to know either.

It had taken Harry a full week to recover while the last few details were being planned and now he was at last about to get married. He was nervous but also excited at the same time as he couldn't wait to start the rest of his life, and a family, with the love of his life. There was a gasp and everyone turned to see that Ginny had arrived on her father's arm at the entrance to the ceremony.

Harry smiled, Ginny had never looked more beautiful in her life. It was clear that Fleur had been in charge of getting Ginny ready, and had banned Luna from making any suggestions apparently, and she looked radiant in a white dress edged in deep blue. Her long red hair was down and done in the classic formal Southern Water Tribal fashion complete with braids and the two hair loops that Katara had made famous, along with a white veil that fell over Ginny's face. The only slightly off thing were the long white sleeves that went from Ginny's palms all the way up to her shoulders, but Harry had a feeling that they had been a concession to Molly to hide the tattoos that adorned Ginny's forearms and shoulders. Besides, the sleeves matched the dress so it all worked

Harry grinned like an idiot as Ginny was led up the aisle before she said goodbye to her father and he went to sit by his crying wife in the front row. Harry took her hand and they moved to stand in front of Wu to begin the service.

"Harry, your drooling a little." Ginny whispered to him with a giggle. "And you look as dashing as ever."

"Sorry, you take my breath away." Harry said as he tried and failed to subtly wipe his mouth. "You always do."

"Well let's get married already then." Ginny whispered with a slight blush as Wu began.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the Imperial State of Omashu, and not as I wanted in the Imperial Palace in Ba Sing Se, to celebrate the union between two people who are deeply in love." Wu began in his usual joyful tone and everyone fell silent for the Earth King's speech. "We are here for two of the most important people in the world, Avatar Harry from the Imperial State of Omashu, and Princess Ginevra from the Southern Water Tribe. Words can never truly describe what you have done for the world since Harry was revealed to be the Avatar and your Team almost instantly had to take on not only a resurgence of one of the greatest threats the world has ever known but the emergence of a second threat that had the potential to be even more devastating than the first. In true Avatar fashion, you defeated the forces of evil and restored peace and balance to the world won. I could go on for days, and in the future I will do just that, but the people here to celebrate your love and not me, and, well, we all want to party to start so I will now perform the vows."

Wu paused to allow a light laugh from the gathered attendees. Harry himself smiled, as much as he liked his King, Wu did have a habit of rambling and this was not the time or place for that. After the laughter had died down, Wu turned to Ginny and began the simple vows that they couple had decided to use.

"Do you Princess Ginevra, take Avatar Harry to be your husband and all that that entails, in sickness and in health until death do you part."

"I do." Ginny said loudly looking into Harry's eyes through her veil.

"And do you Avatar Harry, take Princess Ginevra in all the aforementioned stuff." Wu said with an impatient wave of his hand in a fashion that Wu had become known for over the decades.

"I do." Harry said chuckling at Wu's words.

"Then by the power vested in me as the 54th Earth Monarch, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife." Wu said to cheers from the crowd. "Now kiss her already so we can get this party started and I can get my minder drunk so I can be free to enjoy myself and serenade you with the song I wrote especially for tonight."

Harry laughed as he raised Ginny's veil and took her into his arms. She snaked her arms around his neck and he looked deep into her eyes filled with love for him. Once more he smiled as he leaned down to his wife. At last there was peace and stability in the world, for the time being at least. There would be more fights to come, they all knew that, but they also knew that they would overcome them whenever they faced them. Tonight, though, was one for celebration and peace.

Harry leaned down and kissed his wife for the first time. As the crowd cheered, he and Ginny lost themselves in the bliss of the moment and all that they had fought for to reach this point. Today was their moment of triumph and ultimately their moment of peace. Today everything was perfect as Harry and Ginny continued to kiss at the altar to the cheers of the world that they had twice saved from evil.

This night was the culmination of all Harry and his friends had achieved. Nothing could take it away from him and his future with the woman he loved. With Ginny and his friends by his side, Harry would continue to work to maintain peace and balance in the world and keep all citizens safe from the evils that prevailed in it whenever those evils reared their ugly heads. Harry would tackle any problems that arose, they all would, together as Team Avatar and nothing would stop them from maintaining that peace and balance.

Tonight was an example of their triumphs, of their successes in restoring peace and balance to the world. At last, everything in Harry's life was perfect.

I hope y'all enjoyed Book 2 as this short and sweet little epilogue of Harry and Ginny's wedding is the culmination of Avatar: The Tale of Harry. Book 2: Equality. Book 3 has been completely drafted and will contain the same number of chapters as Book 2 (and theoretically Book 5 as well but that is only in the storyboard phase at the moment) but as with Book 2, Book 3 and its subtitle theme will not be released until June 18th, the anniversary of the release date of Book 1 (note that Book 2 was released on June 18th but because it was released at around 7am GMT, fanfiction recorded the release date as June 17th because for this site,a new day starts at GMT-8). Book 3 will jump forward in time and deal will deal with Harry facing new challenges but as with Book 1 in this series, his challenges will be drawn from the challenges that Harry faces in the cannon along with inspiration drawn from the Avatar series. This is contrary to Books 2, 4, and 5, all deal with situations that I have come up with myself but used names from the cannon in my own ways so as to fit them into this crossover series.

Though there will be a long break between Books 2 and 3, there will still be tales from this series because beginning in 2 weeks, I will be uploading the first spinoff story of this series. It is a spinoff that has been hinted at before and will be a stand alone, 12 chapter spinoff that will be released between Books 2 and 3 (another spinoff will come out between Books 3 and 4). As of right now, the working title of the spinoff is The Path to Redemption: Regulus' Journey which as the title suggests will detail Regulus' first hand account of how his brief time as a Death Eater, his realization that he was wrong, his defection, and his journey from the Foggy Swamp to Omashu via the Fire Nation as he tries to stay alive and ahead of his former master's servants. It will be a tale of redemption, of humbling, of how views can change when you leave your echo chamber bubble and see the real world, and will show Regulus' thoughts as he struggles to find himself as who he truly is and his journey to find redemption for his sins. This was a tale that has been briefly eluded to in the past and will be the first spinoff. There are others in the works that deal with Pyrites' story and how Hermione became the villain the world now knows her as but those are still years away.

Anyway, that is enough for this long post story note as I sum up what is to come. Any questions in reviews or PMs about this story or future works will be answered either during the Regulus spinoff or during Avatar: The Tale of Harry. Book 3: (REDACTED). Until either the Regulus spinoff or Book 3.
