Epilogue

The wedding was small, but the couple had never been happier. When they told the order that not only were they married, but also had a child on the way, people were quick to offer their congratulations. Minerva even cried, and scolded Severus for not telling her the wedding plans. They were thankful she finally got over the student/ teacher thing. Ada surprised Jordan with a delightful wedding present. Apparently she had taken care of Jordan's cat since Jordan had left at the end of her sixth year, and restored him to her. Severus was less then thrilled.

Severus sold the property of Spinner's end, and bought a large home at the edge of town. They were close enough to visit their friends, but it also gave them a chance to be secluded when they wanted. Severus never really felt completely at ease around general society, as some people still harbored mistrust for him. It was sometimes difficult for him, not knowing who was genuine and who was not. But after he was publicly cleared, he let it rest at that, and never tried to prove anything to anyone. That simply was not Severus Snape.

The death eaters tried to give the same story this time around, but the ministry was harsher, and did not believe the lies. Those who were captured by the aurors on the night the dark lord fell were given life sentences. Others, including Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy, were given twenty years. Draco, being a minor, was sent to less then a year. He eventually straightened himself out, and realized that his parents no longer controlled his thoughts and emotions. He eventually married a muggle-born witch, and was disowned by his family when they were set free. He apologized to Harry, Hermione, and the Weaslys, and is at least on civil terms with them. He now works in the finance department at the Ministry.

Many Romances bloomed after the war. Not only did Remus and Dora marry (as she could no longer go by Tonks, considering her last name is now Lupin), but Harry and Ginny did as well. Harry accomplished his dream of becoming and auror, and after graduating from a prestigious university; Ginny became the defense against the dark arts professor at Hogwarts. She makes a tradition of showing the first years just what a bat-bogey hex can do. They have three beautiful children: Avianna, Byron, and Demetry.

Ron also works at the ministry. He buckled down after graduation, and made top marks at Salem University. He is the head of the department of dark artifact detection. He and Hermione married, and divorced after two years. They then realized that they could not live without each other and remarried. Their nickname is the Bickersons. Hermione teaches Transfiguration. Ginny is her best friend. She and Ron have one child, Azraelle, and she is spoiled rotten, but very intelligent. She has red bushy hair, and thankfully got her father's teeth. She is in her fourth year as a griffindor, and to her father's dismay, she is dating a slytherin.

Before Jordan and Severus celebrated their first anniversary, she had given birth to a healthy baby boy. His name is Antony, just as Severus desired, and he is head boy of slytherin. They next had another son, named Bogdan, who is currently dating Azraelle Weasley. Both fathers are doing their best to cope. Their daughter, Onica, is in her second year, and surprised her parents by being put in Ravenclaw. She and Avianna Potter are in the same house and class. They are best friends. Jordan and Severus have another son, Faolan, who is only five years old. He was an unexpected surprise.

Ada married one of her college professors, and it is now the family joke that all Madisons fall for their teachers. She has no children as of yet, and works at St. Mungo's as a Mediwitch. She also does some fashion design in her spare time. Jordan took Poppy's place when she retired, and lives with Severus and Faolan in the Dungeons during the school year. In the summer they all return home.

And Severus? Well it just would not be Hogwarts without the dreaded professor of potions. And yes, he is still cynical, wears a sneer, and favors the slytherin house. He may be a wonderful husband and father, but he is still Severus Snape.
