Harry Potter and the Dark Defenses
Epilogue ***End of an Era***
"Bye Professor!"
Thunk.
Harry smiled as the last of the fourth year Gryffindor/Ravenclaw class left. It was a good ten months after the trial and now almost the end of the year. Some of the wizarding world still weren't used to the fact that he had been a Death Eater but most had come around. The students he taught being the first one's.
He looked over at Hedwig, who was asleep on her perch. The snowy owl had taken to staying in the room when he taught and sleeping in his quarters as well. Harry guessed she didn't want to lose him again.
Chuckling, he walked over and ruffled the feathers on her breast. One amber eye opened and the owl gave a small hoot. Harry smiled and said, "Hello Hed." Hedwig hooted again and nipped at one of his fingers before falling back asleep.
Chuckling again, Harry gave the owl one last stroke before leaving the classroom. HE headed down to the Great Hall for lunch, where he caught up with Remus and Sirius, who had been freed after an old witch had found a one-handed Peter Pettigrew sleeping on her porch swing. Apparently the magic Voldemort had used to make Pettigrew's silver hand had died with the Dark lord. Unfortunately the Dark Mark's did not die with him and remained on Harry and Snape's arms as reminders of what they had been. And to that fact that they were the only two Death Eater's left alive besides Draco, who had actually joined fifth year then fled when he confessed his love to Hermione. Dumbledore had been hiding him ever since.
"Harry my boy! Just in time to have a little lunch."
Harry grinned as Sirius wrapped an arm about his shoulders. He asked, "How is the dueling class going?" After Sirius had been freed Dumbledore had given him and Remus a job teaching a class devoted entirely to dueling. They did well at it too.
Most of the time at least.
"Oh splendid. Moony here decided to set a snake on me and forced me to apologize for embarrassing him last class.
Remus chuckled from Harry's right and said, "Padfoot suggested we get you to help with the class. Or at least with the snakes."
Harry chuckled and said, "Sorry Sirius. I do have a class to teach you know."
Sirius frowned. "Oh c'mon. Just once."
"No."
"Where did my godson go?"
"Not very far," chuckled Remus as Harry stuck a 'Kick Me' sign on Sirius' back and turned his hair silver and green.
Sirius blinked then noticed his hair.
"Oh, now you're going to get it."
Harry laughed and took off, Sirius right behind him. Several students came out of the hall and asked Remus what was wrong but he only laughed and ushered them back inside.
As Harry sprinted past a surprised Snape and a laughing Saerry, throwing a charm back at Sirius over his shoulder, he knew that he was truly at home

A/N: Good ending, bad ending? Whatcha think?
A/N2: Also, I'm thinking of doing a sequel. Right after I get some other things finished. Such as the prequel. ^^
