Our Own Epilogue

Soooo....since many of us are dissatisfied with the epilogue, why don't 
we do some pondering of our own as to what happened after DH? I know we 
all have what we wish had happened:

Hagrid: Cleared of all the charges that have ever been levied against 
him, he is allowed to finish his schooling at Hogwarts and gets a new 
wand, which he no longer has to hide in a pink umbrella. He marries 
Madame Maxime, and together they teach Care of Magical Creatures, while 
raising Grawp. Obviously, Beauxbatons has to get a new headmistress.

George: Mourning Fred, but knowing he has to move on, he continues to 
run the joke shop for a few years alone. He does open up the Hogsmeade 
branch, naming it "Fred's Wizarding Wheezes". He eventually gets 
married and has just one son - Fred, of course, who grows up to run his 
father and uncle's business. 

Luna: Leaving her creepy and weak father behind, Luna becomes the 
astrology teacher at Hogwarts after her 7th year is complete. She and 
Neville realize they are in love, and they remain at Hogwarts to get 
married, since Neville is the Herbology prof. Luna continues to make 
sure her father is cared for, because it wouldn't be Luna to leave 
someone in the dirt, but she's so put off by his betrayl of her friends 
that she can't bear to se him anymore. Neville and Luna have several 
children, all of whom inherit their father's aptitude for Herbology, 
and thus begins a long line of Longbottom Herbology profs at Hogwarts. 

Neville: Aside from what I already mentioned, Neville also becomes the 
godfather to Harry's children, and Harry finally reveals the entire 
prophecy to him, letting Neville become a much closer friend than 
before. Neville finds a confidence in himself that he never had before, 
and he becomes, in addition to Herbology prof, the magical plants 
liasion for the MoM, and the leading world authority on magical plants. 

Percy: Realizing what a mess he's made of his life, especially in the 
wake of Fred's death, Percy decides to travel the globe, seeking 
answers about the nature of good and evil and the meaning of family. 
After a ten-year wandering, and a true change of heart, Percy returns 
to England and overhauls the MoM, ridding it of corruption and becoming 
the first truly good Minister of Magic. He never marries, but remains 
living at the Burrow to take care of his parents as they age.

Flitwick: Becomes the Headmaster, since McGonagall is too elderly and 
exhausted to take on the job, and eventually (obviously more than 19 
years in the furture) eliminates the House system from Hogwarts. He 
rids Hogwarts of prejudice and creates a more loving and inclusive 
learning environment, free of classification and stigma.

Kreacher: While too old to feel that he can lead a political rebellion, 
he is nevertheless the de facto leader of the House Elf Liberation 
Front, and works closely with Hermione Weasley to gain political and 
social rights for House Elves. His years of calling her a "Mudblood" 
over, Kreacher becomes Hermione's closest elf friend, and they 
celebrate together when the WW finally recognizes the rights of elves 
and allows them to practice magic and carry wands. 

That's all I can think of for now...what do you guys think?

Harry on, Katie
