Kagome wondered the halls of Hogwarts checking on a few people every so often making sure they were getting healed and also sending a comforting aura out as she went. She had encouraged Fred to spend time with his family. Seeing as how they almost lost him and Percy they needed the time.

As Kagome made her way out of the great hall she found Harry wondering what he was doing on his own she headed over.

"Harry?" Kagome questioned to get his attention.

"Kagome. You're alright?" Harry asked her nervously. When he had seen Voldemort attack her he had been worried.

Kagome understood his worry and gave him a hug. Rather than tell him she had been through worse she just told him she was fine.

Pulling away with a smile Kagome took his hand. "I have a surprise for you."

Harry looked at her questionably allowing her to lead him where ever she was going. Kagome didn't know the hall ways too well but she didn't have too. She found Koga's aura and followed it. Remus gave Kagome an odd look when she arrived with Harry but let them pass by into the room none the less.

Kagome greeted Koga and Snape happily. Harry however looked like a stone statue. He had thought Snape was dead. He didn't know what to say to him, Snape didn't know where to start either and ended up sending out a snarky remark out of habit.

"Snape!" Kagome scolded him before harry had a chance to send his own smart mouth reply back.

Snape had the decency to look ashamed something Harry thought he would never see.

With a sigh kagome shook her head. "Look you two, I know you have years of bad habits built up for one another. It's time to move on though. Harry you know why Snape acted the way he did? And Snape I trust you realize that Lily would want you to be like an uncle to her child?"

Kagome paused and both nodded in agreement.

"Good, then from this point on it's time to start fresh."

Harry closed his eyes collecting his courage before taking a step towards Snape. Kagome was right, he needed to begin again when it came to Snape. This man was his mother's best friend, had protected him for several years and risked his life for him on several occasions.

"Hello, Professor it's very nice to meet you, I'm Harry Potter." He said holding out his hand.

Snape caught on to what Harry was doing and let a smile grace his lips. He had watched this boy grow up. While he still had no love for his father Snape could easily see that Harry was not James. In fact Harry if anything was much more like lily.

"It's nice to meet you potter. Have I ever told you I knew your mother when she was young?"

Life had progressed quickly and in under a month Snape was on trial for the murder of Albus. Kagome had to quickly fly back from Japan for his trial. She had gone over seas to give Shippo and Kotastu a proper demon burial.

She had been nervous about the outcome. The all the former death eaters had been going on trial and the wizarding court seemed very content to throw the book at them. However thanks to both hers and Harry's testimony the charge was dropped to assisted suicide. He was given house arrest for six months then probation for a year. Kagome was happy that her friend would stay out of Azkaban and made a point of visiting him at his home as often as she could during his six months. He happily told her that McGonagall, who had become headmistress, offered him his old potions job again.

She and the twins both reopened their original shops. Kagome's charms and tonics become very popular. Though Kagome expected that people came into the shop more often to stare and gawk than anything else. She let the matter drop though knowing that the curiosity would die down eventually.

(19 years later)

"Mum were here!" Fred yelled as he walked into his parents' house. Molly came out to greet them and before Kagome could reach out to stop him a little red headed boy ran past his parents and jumped into his grandmothers waiting arms.

"Shippo, how many times have I told you not to jump on people?" Kagome scolded her son. The young Shippo looked downward and apologized even though both he and Kagome knew it would happen again. Shippo looked very much like his name sake with his fathers red hair he did however inherit Kagome's blue eyes.

"It's alright dear." Molly told her giving her grandson another large hug before telling him to run off and play with his cousins in the back.

With their son off to play Fred helped Kagome to the couch. She was pregnant with their second child and due any day now. Molly came to sit with her and Fred gave his wife a kiss before wondering off to find George who should have already arrived with his wife Katie.

"How was the trip to Japan?" Molly asked knowing the family had just returned.

"It was fine, spent most the time with family. Shippo has started showing signs of spiritual power too so he worked with Sota a bit on them. Apparently its "way cooler" to be trained by his uncle rather than his mother."

Molly nodded with a smile. "And have you decided about Hogwarts or home school?"

Kagome had been considering homeschooling Shippo seeing as he had two forms of magic and not just one. At the same time though she didn't want him missing out on the social experience.

"He'll go to Hogwarts. Fred had talked me into it. Shippo would miss seeing his cousins during the school year and in all honesty I don't think I can take care of the new baby and teach at the same time. That and Sota's agreed to train his holy powers during the summer time. Though it will be hard to see him go."

"You'll be alright dear, I remember how hard it was seeing the kiddo's off to school but before you know it they'll be grown up and having wild adventures of their own." Molly reassured her giving her a pat on the knee.

"Not to wild hopefully." Kagome groaned.

And that would be the end! Thank you sooo much too all my readers!

I hope everyone enjoyed it. I don't quite know what my next story will be but it will be a while before it come out. I need a break from writing for a little while.

Till next time
