This is the final chapter for sure now. I decided to do an epilogue because I was asked. I am working on another six stories right now and will start posting one soon, I don't know which though, so if your interested look out for that some time in the next week or less. Enjoy and thank you for reading and reviewing.
Severus and Tonks:
Severus and Tonks got married only two months after graduation and caused quite the stir. When they were spotted in the ministry together while leaving or their honeymoon a reporter saw them and wrote an article about it. The public was surprised to say the least when they returned two weeks later and Severus agreed to an interview. That interview did not go as the reporter wanted it to. Tonks explained that they were married, happy, and that she was pregnant, before kicking the reporter out of Hogwarts.
Severus was over the moon at the news and 9 months later Tonks gave birth to the Snape's one and only child, a daughter by the name of Kali Dora Snape. Severus doted on his daughter and a few students swore they even saw him smile once. Kali was the spitting image of her parents with Tonks metamorphosis abilities and Severus' personality. She was later sorted into Slytherin and became an unspeakable after Graduation.
Severus held the position of Headmaster for over 50 years before retiring and living peacefully outside the castle with Tonks. He was later said to be the best headmaster for his ability to be fair and just and not hold any prejudices or favoritism. He made it possible for any 'half-breeds' to enter Hogwarts and he didn't manipulate anyone. He carried on with his potions research and Tonks quit her job to be a stay at home mother for Kali. He created many useful potions, including one to help with the after effects of the unforgivables and torture.
Unlike what he thought, he never once regretted his decision to hire the four graduates. They proved themselves time and time again and for that he was glad.
Remus and Hermione:
Hermione and Remus got married in a small, quiet, ceremony over the Christmas Holidays during her first year teaching. They had their fights but were always happy with one another. Hermione was said to be as bad as Severus in the classroom but as caring as Hagrid outside. Hermione understood the pressure of teaching potions now, it was dangerous and not a class where you can mollycoddle or be lenient. If you are you get blown up.
Remus and Hermione stayed as professors for a long time and Remus eventually took over for Severus as Headmaster. He was loved by every student and he was just as good as the last one was.
Hermione and Remus had four children and when they were teaching the elves, their friends, other professors, or the older students took care of them. The first was Dean Everard Lupin, he was sorted into Slytherin and was the spitting image of Hermione; smart, curly hair, cunning, and kind. The second was Neil William Lupin, he was more like his father than anything and was sorted into Gryffindor. The third Lupin child was Carrie Flora Lupin, the perfect mixture of her parents and a wonderful addition. She was sorted into Ravenclaw as her smarts were only comparable to her mother. Although she didn't surpass Hermione scores of thirteen perfect NEWTs, she certainly came close with 12.
Their final child wasn't even theirs per say. One year only one student remained at Hogwarts over the break and Hermione, being the caring and kind individual she was, sat and talked with the young man. He was an orphan and soon became the eldest Lupin child. His name was Demetrius Thorn Grande, a muggle-born Slytherin, and neither Hermione nor Remus ever treated him as anything less than their own child.
Sirius and Ginny:
Ginny and Sirius lived a long happy life and their teaching was eccentric at best. They married only a few months after Remus and Hermione, on the Easter holidays of the same year. They ended up with three children that were the perfect mixture of the two of them. All three were sorted into Gryffindor and were best friends with the Lupin's and the single Grande in the family. After Hermione and Ginny's final year, house rivalries only existed when it came to quidditch or house points. Red and Green robes walked the halls together constantly and common rooms were a sea of color.
Their children were rambunctious but smart and loved pranking. All of the children of the four champions were born pranksters and the only ones spared were their parents and their Aunt Tonks and Uncle Severus. Their names were Francine Euphemia Black, Declan Fleamont Black, and Regulus James Black. The middle names and the final child's full name were Sirius' choice and he named them after his family. Fleamont and Euphemia Potter, James' parents, practically raised him, James was his brother in all but blood, and Regulus was his true brother, even if it didn't seem that way sometimes.
Ron and Draco:
Ron and Draco got married a year and a half after getting engaged. Ron became an Auror and Draco a professor. Lucius gave Draco the Malfoy fortune a year into his marriage and he took it. He never gave up teaching though. He and Ron loved their life and were making the most of it during the summer. They adopted two children, a set of twins, named Hermia Fortunus Malfoy and Clark Oreot Malfoy. Hermia was a proud Gryffindor and Clark was a sneaky Slytherin, but they were thick as thieves and happy to run along with the Black's, Potter's, and Lupin's.
Harry and Blaise:
Harry and Blaise got married just a month after Severus and Tonks. Harry was an Auror for about a year before quitting and taking over the Zabini family company. Blaise wanted to continue teaching but Harry had nothing to do and when the patriarch of the Zabini family gave up after only a year Harry took charge of the company. He proved himself and brought the company and the Zabini name much more wealth. Eventually Draco handed over the control of Malfoy industries as well and Harry was glad for the work.
Harry and Blaise adopted three children and named them accordingly. They were named: James Sirius Potter, Lillian Hermione Potter, and Severus Remus Potter. The four that were alive to hear the names had vastly different reactions. Since Sirius was first he bragged to Remus about being superior, Hermione cried and hugged the two boys as she was eight months pregnant at the time, Severus left the room and they swore they could hear him laughing, he later went on to taunt Sirius about how he got the child's first name after him, Remus smirked at Sirius and winked. Tonks, Draco, and Ron pouted about not getting a child named after them so Harry and Blaise adopted another child only two years after Severus and named her after all three: Dora Veronica-Dragon Potter. All three were appeased and Harry and Blaise had their hands full.
The group stayed close, their children were as close as them, minus the relationships, and all was well. That is until one day all the female children entered the great hall and burst into song before all the male children yelled their biggest secret out for everyone to hear. That was the year Severus seriously debated retiring earlier than planned. All ten of the adults just put their heads on the table, confusing some of the new teachers, and said nothing as the game progressed throughout the year. When the game was over they asked what the point was and the answer was 'to see what family was superior.' They then asked who won: 'the Lupin's and the Black's tied.' Was their answer, as soon as the children left the room Ginny and Hermione began their happy dance and dragged their husbands into it. The other three families rolled their eyes and grumbled about how it meant nothing as they weren't actually participating.
I know it's a little weird, but I found it interesting. As far as the name Oreot goes... I wanted Oreo's when I was writing and this is what came out of my brain.
