A/N: Okay, I had to write a very brief epilogue. Some background before you read, Harry and Ginny never dated, Ron and Hermione did very briefly before calling it quits but otherwise canon happened as it did in the books. Epilogue in books is obviously not applicable at all hereā€¦.anywho...enjoy!

Disclaimer: If you recognize it, it isn't mine :)


Epilogue

Harry James Potter, aged 21, strolled through the University campus looking for the cafe that Hermione had mentioned wanting to meet up at and not finding it anywhere. Rain was starting to pour in torrents and seeing as he was in the middle of muggle-central, he couldn't very well cast a drying charm on himself so Harry ducked into the nearest building which happened to be a campus bookstore. The small shop was warm, and the packed-with-books look gave it a very cozy and homey feel. Harry was positive this was where Hermione spent any extra free time that she had. There was music playing gently in the background, a song that Harry felt was vaguely familiar but couldn't quite place, but it gave him a decidedly nostalgic feeling.

Deciding that there was no harm in browsing the place while he waited for the downpour to at least let up, Harry started to walk amongst the shelves. That nostalgic feeling kept prodding at him, and suddenly a title stuck out in his mind, a book that he wondered why he hadn't re-read before. Just as he came to his mental conclusion he also came across the only other person in the store who he assumed was the employee working at the moment. She was facing away from him but there was something familiar about those brown curls that had him pausing for a brief moment before approaching her. He came up behind her and coughed once to get her attention.

"Excuse me ma'am? You wouldn't happen to sell The Count of Monte Cristo here would you?" It was only when the employee turned that Harry realized the "familiar" song that was playing was "Skinny Love."


Maggie sighed in pleasure as she listened to the rain outside. She really had quite the lovely life. After a falling out with her mother she had decided to pursue a higher education in England instead of the States and she was sure she had never been more happy with that decision than she was in this moment. Her, working in her college bookstore, in England, with a torrential downpour outside. Absolutely perfect. The jingle of the bell was heard by her but she decided to just let whoever it was browse a bit before offering assistance. God knows she hated it when sales assistants harped at her the moment she entered a store, why should bookshop be any different? It took a minute or two for the customer to meander his way over to her and the soft spoken question had her smiling to herself.

"Excuse me ma'am? You wouldn't happen to sell The Count of Monte Cristo here would you?" Maggie turned to tell the customer that Absolutely we do sir! and froze in her tracks. Her eyes met a pair of captivating emerald ones and before she could help it she let out a single choked word.

"Harry?"


A/N: I'll leave the rest up to your imagination :) Although I will tell you that in my head they live happily ever after because they deserve it damnit. Review and let me know what you think, constructive criticism is appreciated :)
