The Real Epilogue
(#) Jiltanith 2007-08-30
Very interesting! I went back and reread the epilog before this last chapter came out, and so I see where you came from with this. I'm slightly confused, though, about Hermione's children; I'm thinking that Rose is Harry's by blood, while Hugo is Ron's?
I'm looking forward to seeing what you write next!The Real Epilogue

Yes, Rose is really Harry's child, although few people would know it (Harry, Hermione, Luna, and perhaps Ginny)and only a few would suspect it (Molly, Ron, and Ginny, if she didn't know for certain). Hugo is Ron's, and has inherited their worst characteristics, lazy (Ron) and domineering (Hermione), even if Harry hopes that this will turn to pranking instead of bullying.

Okay - your story as a whole is far more detailed, far more interesting and definately better written than JKR's. I know I critiqued the previous chapter a bit harshly. After reading this chapter, I think overall the previous chapter was alright. I still think the Hermione/Winky conversation seemed odd because of wordiness.
Anyway, the way you tied it all up was brilliant. I did have a question that doesn't seem to be adressed here. Where is Luna ? It seemed like Luna is what Hermione and Harry are finding at the se club, is something up with her. Did I miss something ? Is it intentionally left unanswered to make your readers squirm! Because this reader is doing so.Author's response
No, I left Luna where JKR left her in her interviews -- exploring the world looking for odd creatures. She just sometimes camps out with Harry, with the result of two children. Sorry if that wasn't clear. Harry often favors women who look a bit like Luna.

I like how you handled things... well maybe you made Hermione a little to dom. But it is your story. Any chance we will ever see a nc-17 version or possible one-shots from this story. So much of it lead to what could be some interesting smut! And you do write really good smut stories. I would like to read about Ginny's training.The Real Epilogue

Very good.
Personally I am surprised that Percy the prat survived Harry's return after inflicting 'Albus Severus' on one of his children.

I have to admit that I think the greatest injustice in this story is the fact that Percy lived after naming the poor kid Albus Severus.
The compromise was incredibly reasonable, but I can't help but be unhappy about it. I guess where everyone in canon just wants one big happy Weasley family, I want all of the Weasleys to be either destitute and lonely, or dead. Too many prejudices on my part...
Excellent conclusion, all things considered.The Real Epilogue

Well, this helps to clarify the epilouge some now, and gives us a reason that Harry, after being treated how he was by both Albus and Severus, a decent reason why one of his sons might be named after them. I do agree that Hermione is a dom, and Ginny a sub, though Luna just likes to probably play around in her own world. Too bad that JKR couldn't muster up the will to actually write some detail in the end, rather than just make silly matches that don't seem to fly, imo, considering Ron and his laziness and Hermione, can't ever see a marriage work there, unless it was for political convenience, like it was here. Great stuff, adn can't wait to read more of your writings.
