Epilogue: Blinded By the Light
" Momma always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun. But Momma! That's where the fun is!" Blinded by the Light, Mannford Mann's Earth Band.
" And that ends the story children,", an ancient looking werewolf said cheerfully as he closed the book. On the front, read the title of " Lord of the Marauders."
" But Grandpa Moony! There has to be more!" a bushy, black haired girl protested. Remus smiled, " Of course, Elaine. There's you all, and so many more. You're Harry's great granddaughter aren't you?"
Elaine bobbled up and down, " From granny Granger yes!"
Remus laughed, " I always wondered whether or not he had an affair with her or not. He never told me."
Moony looked at the horde of great-grandchildren in front of him. A couple with red hair could be seen. One was an obvious clone of Harry, just with red hair. Another had golden blonde hair. He smiled lovingly at all of them. That's when someone came in, " Sorry Grandpa Moony! We just had to go get some food."
The boy that came in was Lupin's grandson Orion, but he was old enough to be a sixth year at Hogwarts. Funnily, his girlfriend was Leliana Potter, Harry's granddaughter via Lenore. She shook her sunlight hair, smiling, " Hey grandpa Moony! Been awhile!"
Moony smiled like the senile old man he was, " Nice to see you too, Leli."
She got flustered, " I tell everyone not to call me that!"
Moony sat back in his chair and went to sleep. He was 122 years old. He died in his sleep that night. Harry's voice began to play over, oblivious to everyone else.
" Remus John Lupin got married to both Bellatrix and Narcissa Black exactly three years after the Final Battle. His first two children were born the same day, though Bella's was two months premature. Bella's son was named Sirius Alastor Lupin, and Narcissa's was named John Theodore Lupin. His favorite nickname was Teddy. Sirius Lupin had three children, but died in a tragic broom accident when he was just 32 years old. John had four children, and still lives. He is 72.
" Fleur Delacour and Guillaume Royeaux got married two weeks after the war ended. Fleur had seven sons and three daughters. There are now even fewer families in France that can say they don't have a Royeaux ancestor. Fleur continued her career at Gringotts after the war, and became the Arithmancy teacher at Hogwarts. She died at the age of 121.
Guillaume continued to forge his legacy by helping make certain aspects of Blood Magic Legal. He was awarded several honors, and was French Minister for forty years before resigning. He's the only man to ever win an election uncontested in Magic France's history. He resigned and became the Charms and Dueling teacher at Hogwarts. He died at age 141
Hermione Granger had a hushed affair with me when she was 26. That son, named Christopher Granger went on to marry the eldest daughter of Fleur and Guillaume. Hermione got married to Fred Weasley when she was 42, and had two more children after that. Hermione died of a heart attack at age 87. Fred never recovered and died shortly thereafter at age 89.
Martin Weasley got married to Susan Bones. She bore him one son and one daughter. He and the British Weasleys rebuilt the family, but he was always sad that his sister, Simone, didn't live to see it. He died at age 101, of congestive heart failure.
George Weasley got married to Alicia Spinnet, and had four children. He lived fifty years longer than his brother.
Narcissa Black and Bella Black both died on the same day, August 19th, Sirius Black's birthday, but not until after they had lived to be 132, outliving Moony by ten years.
Ginny Weasley recovered her ability to walk, and had a quiet affair with me . Her son was born as Ronald James Weasley, and looked just like me , except that he had Weasley red hair. She got married to Dean Thomas three years after that. She only had one more child, a daughter. She died at age 104, of a stroke.
Kingsley Shacklebolt became the British Minister of Magic after the war. The stress from the job probably contributed to his early death at age 73, but he married an Unspeakable and had four kids.
Lenore Royeaux became the fourth Potter Wife less than a year after the war. Lenore was able to produce two sons and two daughters, but died at a younger age of 63 due to complications in a surgery she was having. She and I won the World Cup for France after the war ended. Her defining moment was putting the game winning goal in at her third World cup, twelve years later. Her youngest daughter, Leona, married the Viscount Weasley's oldest. Her eldest, Luxanna, married Antonio Creevey, oldest son of Colin. That line produced Leliana.
Tracey Davis only had one son. She died in childbirth at the age of 29. I was rather upset about her death, and it took me a few years to get over it. At the time, she was working as a Goblin Liaison. She was projected to be head of the Department in three years.
Gabrielle Delacour grew closer to me, almost as close as Daphne there at the end, when she died at age 131. She gave me the most children, five, with a fairly even split of three girls, and two boys. To our shock, both boys had the ability to use the Veela Aura. They were the first Male Veela of any kind in over a thousand years. My bloodline's so awesome isn't it?
Daphne Greengrass was my closest confidant there after the war, and she had my first son, Sirius James Potter, when we were 22. Sirius was three years older than my next child, which was also from Daphne. For some reason, Daphne never got old, even though she gave me four children. She aged well, unlike Lenore, who still clung to a little of her beauty, but wasn't as impressive as she had been. Funnily, though all my other wives are dead from one thing or another, me and Daphne are still alive. Like of all of them, she was the only one that was truly meant for me to marry. It's kind of strange. All of my children from Daphne were born with the ability of Soul Magic, and my youngest daughter, named Katherine, is thought to be even more powerful than I was!
Harry James Potter: Well, here I am. I refounded Hogwarts as soon as I got back to Britain. I abolished the House System, feeling that it caused too much strife. This didn't go over well, but who cares? I was given several honors, such as Order of Merlin, and was elected to Chief Warlock, until I resigned after twenty years. I then, became Minister of Magic for another twenty years after Kingsley resigned. Germany commissioned Nurmengard to be mine and an independent city state, kind of like the Vatican. I named it ' Kingdom of the Marauders: Where Pranks Never Die.' Sirius would be so proud. My White Tower stands above a rather bustling city of wizards now though. It sort of became a pilgrimage spot for Wizards of all kinds.
I became Headmaster of Hogwarts after I resigned as Minister. I hired those few of my friends who were still alive. That's how I lived my life out really. I had several Monuments built all over the place, and in the City of Nurmengard, there is a Victory Museum. Outside, there is a giant statue of Sirius standing giving his ' For a Better Future!' speech. I learned of that later, and Hermione had the Goblins build it on the exact spot he gave it. The Statue is enchanted so that it looks like Sirius is really alive. There are more statues, like there's a line of statues leading up to the Museum. Ron's the first one you see.
At Hogwarts, there is a statue of me and Varrac leading the ballistae of the Dwarves into battle. There's a statue of Cheval standing over Dumbledore, but with Neville sneaking up behind him. Yeah, all those monuments are great.
There is one, however, that stirs me the most. It isn't in Nurmengard. It isn't at Hogwarts. It's in Godric's Hollow. It is a giant statue, massive it is. It has the faces of every Black Order Member there was. Me, Sirius, and Remus are at the front. I'm holding a sword, only that the blade is actually made of Gubraithian fire, so it never burns out. At the very bottom, the words as follows are written:
'Life: Live it as you choose.'
On the back you can read the speech that Sirius gave, and the little preamble I wrote on the Kingdom of the Marauders Roster. Turns out that Remus, Hermione, and the others enchanted that, so that every time someone is added to the Order, the list automatically updates.
Well, my time is running out. I've lived abnormally long, like my magic has kept me alive only because my continued existence does the world good. I hear Daphne calling…."

( 321 Years After the Final Battle)
Harry wheezed on his chair. He asked his wife, Daphne, " You ready my dear?"
She smiled, " Yes Harry. It is time."
A small rift began to open above them, and Sirius walked out. He smiled, " Well there Harry! You look old!"
" Don't remind me."
Sirius extended a hand, " Harry. It's time to go to God. Anything you want?"
Harry grabbed his Phoenix wand and his other two, " Yes Sirius. I do want something."
Sirius asked, " And what's that Harry?"
" My white plume."
A/N : Well everyone it's been great. Sometimes I really struggled with this story, I really did. But these last four chapters really just sort of came to me, so I posted them all at the same time. I thank you for your time, and people who were a fan of this should keep an eye out for a new story soon. It's called " Wizard's Third War" a Post DH/No Epilogue story in kind of the same vein as this one. Now, I bid you all ado and much like on the road to life.
