Epilogue

Harry Potter went to the Ministry Headquarters, not only to receive the Order of Merlin, First Class, for vanquishing Lord Voldemort, but also to testify at some Death Eater Trials. The biggest shock of this is that, in the case of the Malfoys, he spoke into their defense. Once it was proven via Veritaserum that Draco Malfoy only became a Death Eater during his sixth year because Voldemort used his parents' lives as a bargain chip, a barely enough number of Wizengamot voters agreed to acquit him on grounds of coercion. When Harry Potter told the Wizengamot about how Lucius regretted joining Voldemort and helped defeat him by destroying one of his Horcruxes (most officials couldn't help but feel horrified at the idea of someone creating more than one), the Wizengamot pardoned him, much to the disgust of Ron and Moody. Sure, Lucius didn't know back then Nagini was a Horcrux but since nobody asked about this detail, Harry and the Malfoys didn't need to lie.

Rufus Scrimegour tried to have Snape convicted as Draco's accomplice on the murder of Albus Dumbledore and the other crimes the young Malfoy committed during the year but the other professors vouched for him confirming Dumbledore's trust on him and he was also acquitted. "Lucky scum!" one could hear Moody grunt.

Minerva McGonagall has been appointed as the new Headmistress of Hogwarts and had put an ad at the Daily Prophet offering her old position as Transfiguration Professor. She also named Professor Flitwick as Deputy Headmaster. Rubeus Hagrid approached him. "Professor McGonagall, have you decided who's goin' to be the new Head of Gryffindor?"

"Not yet, Hagrid."

"If you don' mind, I'd like ter… take the post."

"Hagrid, are you aware of the responsibilities of being a Head of House?" McGonagall asked.

"Advising fifth years on which N.E.W.T. level courses each one should take; punishing students caught by professors who send them to the Head rather than punishing them themselves; havin' occasional meeting with the other Heads of House…"

Meanwhile, the Golden Trio was deciding what to do with the Elder Wand. "Keep it, Harry. You'll be undefeatable." Ron suggested.

"Voldemort had it and it didn't help him." Harry replied. "I'll break it."

"NOOOOOO!" Ron yelled, scandalized.

"I agree with Harry." Hermione replied.

"Hermione, the Elder Wand is the best Hallow ever." Ron pleaded.

"No, it's the cloak." Hermione replied.

"It's the stone." Harry said. "But unfortunately I'll never have it.

THE END

Please review. Does anyone know why I had Draco using Fiendfyre on Dumbledore?
