A night at the Opera

A/N: thank you to everyone who read this story, and to everyone who actually made it this far. I'm glad that it's finally over. Now that it's over, I'm going to continue working on my Arthur/Molly fic about their life. So that's about it for me.

Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, I own nothing, rub it in why don't you.


Epilogue

It's been a couple years now, since the final battle. Since the funerals, since the sadness. The world is finally starting to clime out from behind the rainclouds. People are finally starting to live again.

Some things have changed but some stay the same…

Hogwarts is back to its old grandeur, run by the fearless Minerva MgGonnagal.

Gryffindor still has the quidditch cup.

Dr. Nelson is still here, lost a foot in the battle, but not even that can keep him away from the podium.

Harry and I are back together now, engaged to be married soon.

It's nice not to have to worry about so many things anymore. Not having to worry about whether or not I'll ever see Harry again. From now on, I tell Harry, he's all mine. If the world needs saving, fate can get someone else to do it for a change.

And so here we are again, a couple years later, where it all began. We're doing a Hogwarts alumni reunion run of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro." It's intermission now, and we're sitting in the very stairway that started it all, where he flirted with me that first fateful time. We sat, now as we always did, leaning against eachother on the stairs in a comfortable silence.

"You know, as I recall, this is where it all began."

"Hmm?" I ask.

"Us, this is where it all began."

"Yep."

"Have I told you today that I love you?"

"Yep."

"Well I'll say it again. I love you."

"And until the day that I die, I'll never tire of hearing it. I love you too."

The lights flickered, calling us back to our seats in the pit. My Harry got up and offered me his arm.

"Why thank you Monsieur."

"The pleasure is all mine Mademoiselle." He replied, winking at me, and as the first notes of Act two sounded, I couldn't help but think "Thank Merlin that he flirted with me!"


A/N: yeah, it's short, but hey, it's an epilogue. Anyway, do your job and review please. Aside from that, I hope you all enjoyed this story, and for now…
