A/N: Here's the epilogue i promised. I have to apologize to everyone who wanted a long Harry/Lavender story, i'm horrible at writing longer than one-shots and after they got together I really didn't know what else to do with the story. I hope you like the epilogue!
R & R!
14 Years Later
Platform 9 and ¾ seemed unusually crowded to Harry that day. Though he thought it might be a good thing, a sign of the age of peace the world is experiencing. The platform was filled with many happy families sending their kids off to another year at Hogwarts. Of course he was doing the same and looking at the size of his family he could hardly complain about the lack of space.
It was also a rather bright day though that wasn't surprising. It had been a hot summer Harry thought as he covered his eyes with his right hand. It reminded him of another bright day that happened fourteen years ago when he was still at Hogwarts.
He had been sitting outside on the cool grass with his girlfriend Lavender Brown enjoying the warm spring sun. They had been talking of this and that when the subject of Harry wondering what Malfoy was using the room of requirement for.
"I don't know Harry I've only used it when we had the D.A. meetings," Lavender answered him, her hands playing with the locks of his hair. "Actually," She said remembering something. "I heard Seamus telling Dean that he had used the room to hide some porn. Do you think Malfoy could be hiding something?"
A light bulb went off in Harry's head as he listened to his girlfriend. A neon bright DUH went off in his head as he wondered why he had never thought of it before. Grabbing his girlfriend's hand he ran towards the entrance of Hogwarts, wasting no time with an explanation of what they were doing.
They reached the room of requirement faster than normal (thanks to Harry's paranoid desire to get there as quick as possible) and after Harry walked around it muttering the "I need to find a place to hide stuff" the door opened. What followed was less than desirable.
The room was filled with junk everywhere and the two tried to make a path through all the junk. As they passed a bookshelf they suddenly heard someone cheering out; curious as any normal person would be they headed towards the cheering.
They turned another corner and found Malfoy in front of some sort of cabinet. He immediately stopped cheering as he spotted Lavender and Harry. Realizing it was too late to hide Harry grabbed Lavender's hand and tried to make a run for the exit. It only took Draco a minute to recover before going chase to the two Gryffindors. As he turned the corner they had already passed he cast a spell which narrowly missed them.
Draco continued to cast spells and Harry realized he had no idea where the exit was so he told Lavender to find it and started dueling Draco. The duel began to heat up as Draco started to use unforgivables. Luckily Harry had trained himself to be more than excellent at dodging nasty spells and managed to avoid the nastier ones. He could tell Draco was getting worn down as his breathing grew thinner. The frustration was more than apparent on his face.
"Harry over here, I found it!" Harry turned to his left to see Lavender running towards him; unfortunately Draco saw her as well. Before Harry could yell out a warning Draco had already pointed his wand at Lavender and yelled out "Avada Kedavra"!
Draco only had a half-second lead on Harry though for halfway through Draco's spell Harry cast his own expelliarmus. Harry's spell met Draco's before it could hit Lavender forcing Draco's spell to reflect back on its caster. The Slytherin's face was wide in shock as the green light rebounded back onto himself. His corpse hit the floor and all was quiet.
Harry remembered how scared he had been at that moment. He remembered Lavender shrieking out in surprise before calming herself down. What surprised him was she was the one who calmed him down, he had wanted to tell Dumbledore but she convinced him to do something very un-Harry like. Nothing. He just left Draco's body there, it was far too dangerous to let anyone know, they wouldn't believe his story and the ministry would lock him up in Azkaban.
Of course what he hadn't known at the time was that Draco had just finished working on the cabinet so that same night. So while Harry was off with Dumbledore, Death Eaters had broken through the castle. The school year was abruptly cut short when Dumbledore was killed by Snape.
At Dumbledore's funeral Harry decided to not come back to Hogwarts the next year, instead he, Hermione and Neville would go off in search of the Horcruxes. Luna had wanted to come also but since she wasn't of age yet they didn't allow her to. Luna was more than frustrated for being left behind but she got over it.
They left that summer and got an early start on it and finished with the final battle at Hogwarts by January. Though there were a few deaths there were far more injuries. Yes there were many injuries, Harry thought to himself as he looked over at his wife.
He remembered Lavender being attacked by Fenrir Greyback. Hermione had thankfully seen it happen and threw Greyback off of her with a spell almost immediately. Harry quickly finished off the evil werewolf before rushing to Lavender's side. Unfortunately they were too late and she had been bitten.
Harry wanted to stay with her but Hermione reminded him they had a job to do so he got her to Madam Pomfrey before going after Voldemort. After the battle was over he headed to where the injured were being kept and found her conscious, lying on a bed.
"Go away Harry," She told him as she covered herself with the bed sheets. Harry's eyes grew wide in confusion, he hadn't seen her in so long and she didn't even want to see him.
"W-Why? What is it Lavender? What did I do wrong?"
"It's not you Harry it's me."
"W-What?" He asked, rather confused.
"Leave me alone Harry, don't make me spell it out for you!" She yelled at him, she tried to pull herself completely under the covers but Harry was stronger and pulled them back. She had tears in her eyes and her left hand was covering up part of her neck. It was then that Harry remembered that was where she had been bitten by Greyback.
"Are you mad at me because…because I let you get bitten?"
"No you idiot! It's not your fault at all!"
"Then what is it?"
"…It's me," She whispered so quietly Harry barely heard her. By now the tears in her eyes had steadily increased and she was becoming hysterical. "Listen Harry you don't have to play the nice guy, I know you don't want anything to do with me now that I'm a werewolf."
Harry looked shocked at her revelation. His eyes darted the room but everyone else was too busy celebrating to be listening to their conversation. "That's not true, I don't care that you're a werewolf!"
"Don't lie to me!" She shrieked, at this a few heads turned but after seeing it was only Lavender turned back to whatever they were doing.
"Lavender I'm not lying, look at me!" Harry grabbed her by the chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. "I love you, I don't care if you're a werewolf or vampire or whatever! Please believe me!" A moment of silence passed and then Lavender threw herself into Harry's arms.
"I do believe you Harry, I do." After she stopped crying they lay together in the bed talking until Harry, tired from saving the wizarding world, fell asleep on the hospital bed. The continued to date and a year later Harry asked Lavender to marry him, she instantly agreed.
"Hey Harry," The voice called him, snapping him out of his memories. "How you been? I haven't seen you since Luna's last dinner party." Harry turned to his right to see his best friend Neville Longbottom walking up to him, holding his wife Luna Longbottom's (formally Lovegood) hand. They had started dating after Voldemort was defeated and married shortly after Harry and Lavender.
Holding Luna's hand was their twelve year old son Jude. He had his mother's wavy hair but father's complexion. Though Harry and Lavender had married first Luna and Neville had their son a year before Harry and Lavender. Though they only had one child, while Harry and Lavender had multiple children.
"Hello Neville," Harry greeted his friend, throwing him a high-five. "Luna," Harry added, nodding to Luna. She curtsied back and Jude looked around embarrassed as his mom did the same when Lavender greeted her.
"Mom-"
"Dad-"
"The train is-"
"-going to leave, can we"
"Get on already?" The twins asked their parents, finishing each other's sentences as usual. Harry turned to see his two eleven year old twins looking rather impatiently at the train. Jason and Justin were identical twins with their mother's hair color but their father's untamable hair. Both inherited their father's green eyes but their mother's facial features. Luckily none of Harry and Lavender's children had the werewolf gene from their mother.
"Yeah just let me grab your bags." Harry went to pick up the nearby bags, "I got it dear, you shouldn't be lifting things." He told Lavender who had tried to help him with one of the bags, she was seven ½ months pregnant and Harry didn't want her to strain herself.
As Harry dragged the bags toward the train Neville turned to Lavender. "So Lavender how much longer until…" He asked motioning to her stomach.
"Five weeks, six days and three hours." But it was not Lavender who answered, but Luna.
"Umm yeah," Lavender answered looking a little disgruntled. "What she said." Lavender felt a tug on her dress and turned to see her seven year old daughter trying to get her attention.
"Mom can I go to Hogwarts? Please?" Little Eliza was rather the opposite of her two brothers; she had long black curly hair and was over-sensitive like her mother.
Lavender shook her head, "Sorry Eliza. You know you have to be eleven, you can go with your brothers when you're older." The words sounded rather monotone since she'd been saying them repeatedly for the last month. Eliza looked downcast but didn't say anything.
Harry returned a few moments later wondering if his sons had put rocks in their suitcases. "So guys, ready to go to Hogwarts and get into Gryffindor like your parents?" Harry asked.
"We might Dad but-"
"-We were also thinking of-"
"-Slytherin house, what do-"
"-You think?" Harry gave a laugh at his son's behavior. They liked to pray tricks, though not to the extreme that the Weasley twins had.
"I wouldn't mind guys but," He got down to their level and pointed to Lavender. "Your mom however wouldn't be very happy with you." At this Lavender shot a nasty glare at the twins. Their faces went pale and a shiver ran down their spines.
"Err actually me and Jason-"
"-Are definitely going to Gryffindor." At this the adults laughed out loud. They said goodbye to their children and waved to them as the train drove off.
"So Luna, Neville, did you find anything on your latest expedition?" Lavender asked. Luna and Neville were famous adventurers who regularly went searching for undiscovered animals and plants.
"No not this time," Neville answered her. "But we don't get lucky every time, and we were quite lucky the previous time right Luna?" His wife gave a nod.
"How's work at the ministry Harry?" Luna asked him. Harry rolled his eyes at her; it was a joke of hers to ask how his job was even when she knew he couldn't answer.
"You know I can't say Luna, I'm called an unspeakable for a reason." Harry had been an unspeakable in the ministry for the last four years, before that he had been a seeker for Britain where he led them to the World cup multiple times.
"Anyway you haven't seen Hermione or Collin in a while since before your trip right? Let's head over there I'm starving." Harry told the group who agreed. He also hadn't seen Hermione or her new husband Collin since they got back from their honeymoon.
Lavender grabbed Eliza's hand before apparating to the restaurant. The other three followed them. It was just another normal day in the life of the wizarding world's savior and his friends. As they say: the song never ends, it goes on and on and on and on…
A/N: Yup I killed off Draco, deal with it. People wanted Hermione to be with someone better than Ron so I put her with Collin cause i always liked him. If your wondering what happened to Ron and Ginny (I didn't feel like writing it in) it seems incest isn't illegal in the wizarding world and Molly forced them to get married. But Harry never had to deal with them again. I might write some Harry/Lavender one-shots In the future so you might have that to look forward to.
