Shackled Romance-Epilogue

The battle to bring down the brothel, and subsequently Tom Riddle, rages on. Neville continued to be Kingsley’s informant, and he even let Draco, Severus and Harry in on his secret mission. Draco, Severus and Harry tried to be his eyes and ears in picking up any form of activity or evidence that the Ministry might use against Tom Riddle and the business.

The girls, Star and Cassi, needless to say, were thrilled to see the new addition to the Black family. No expense was spared to give their little brother Orion the best, and while Sirius went on his Auror duties to bring down the brothel, the sisters played their part in babysitting and raising Orion the best they could, with often hilarious results.

Draco, after seeing Orion, was worried beyond measure, because in truth, he also accidentally discovered by his own that he was pregnant about 2 months before Severus’ due day, but he was not sure whether Remus was really true to his words or even willing to accept him as his lover, no matter how much he wanted to believe in it. He decided to abort the child before the examination exposed him, thought he didn’t expect Neville to catch him smuggling abortion potions from the medic room and reported it to Remus. After a loud and emotional confrontation between them, Draco finally balked and broke in Remus’ arms, begging him for forgiveness and for him not to let Bruno take their baby away. It only made Remus more determined to save his little Blondie, forcing Sirius and Kingsley to pick up the pace before things got worse.

Finally, after exhausting their power and resources, Kingsley and Sirius managed to collect enough evidence and people willing to testify against Tom Riddle, as well as finding a loophole to allow them to arrest Tom, just as the Muggles in history did during the Al Capone dynasty. All of those involved with Tom Riddle were arrested, and the brothel was soon called out of business, but Tom Riddle managed to escape and went on the run.

The first place he went to was Sirius’ place, to exact revenge on the man who started all this fiasco and took away his favourite prostitute. He held the girls and Orion hostage, demanding his freedom, but he had not counted on Star’s Parseltongue and her snake pets she got during her stay in the Ancient House of Black. She used Parseltongue to summon her snakes to distract Voldemort enough to allow Sirius and the other Aurors to arrest him. Voldemort soon figured out the girls were his daughters, but was quickly taken away before he could say anything. Needless to say, he was immediately found guilty of his crimes due to the overwhelming evidence and was issued the Dementor’s Kiss.

All the prostitutes and workers were set free to return to their homes or to pursue their own lives. Draco was rescued just in time to deliver Remus’ cubs, which were a pair of identical twins, which they named Serene and Selene. Remus had to go through a bit of custody battle with the Malfoy family, as they have somehow managed to acquire back their wealth after currying favours with Voldemort, but eventually he managed to get to keep Draco and allow Draco to inherit their wealth while the Malfoys rot in prison for their crimes of assisting a felon and involved in criminal activities. Remus and Draco lived off their days in peace and wealth and had 4 more children during the course of their marriage.

Harry was no less happy to officially be with Cedric as a regular couple. Despite Cedric’s reluctance, he helped the younger boy rediscover his past. Harry found out that his parents were murdered by Voldemort due to a long-standing feud between Voldemort’s business and the Potters’ business. Apparently his father, James Potter, was also an underground mafia wizard and the last of the Potters in their line of underground mafia wizards and witches who were ultimate rivals with the Riddle family, and Voldemort had somehow gained the upper hand and eliminated the competition, taking Harry in to be raised in a brothel as a last insult. Harry had no intention to continue the family business, but kept the family wealth in case of emergencies, and spent the rest of his life with Cedric, working as a medi-wizard for the Quidditch team. The couple had 5 children during the course of their marriage.

Severus was also more than glad to be finally rid of his life in the brothel and be with his family. He and Sirius were caught off-guard though when the girls questioned them about whether their real father was Voldemort, since Cassi had done her research and Star had noticed the look Voldemort gave her when she spoke Parseltongue. Severus came clean with them and told them that it was a high chance that he was their father, and the girls made a solemn vow to both Sirius and Severus that they will be nothing like their real father because Sirius, to them, was as real a father as any girl can have. Severus and Sirius got married the following year and Severus became a stay-at-home mom, caring for the children and raising them the best he could. While having an Auror as a husband was a little lonely at times, he knew Sirius would always return to him no matter what, showering him with love and devotion that he had missed out for so many years, and of course 2 more bundles of joy were added into their household.

As for Neville, since he had nowhere else to go, was taken in by Kingsley to be his aide, helping him out both at work and at home. Kingsley had to teach him and guide him a little, but it was all worth it as Neville slowly became more confident with himself and had a higher self-esteem than before. It made their sex life so much better than before, now that they didn’t need to go sneaking about. Kingsley couldn’t ask for a better lover than Neville, and it got to the point where he loved him too much to part from him and asked for his hand in marriage after 3 years of being together. The couple were happily married for the rest of their days and were soon proud parents of 3 bundles of joy during the years.

And all was right in the world.
