Author Note: Note 1: As always, I believe that canon is a suggestion, not a rule. Note 2: This story starts at the very end of Deathly Hallows, it veers off after that. Because that epilogue served no one and nothing.

Summary: In the aftermath of a war that took years to ignite and ended in a bloody battle with deep losses on both sides, the consequences stretched far beyond the last battle. Headmistress McGonagall is determined to see her students work through what happened to them and hopefully find a measure of peace with it. Narcissa Malfoy’s one goal for the war was to make sure her son survived it. Now that she has accomplished that, her next goal is to make sure her society survives as well — that includes everyone in it.
Now that it was all over, Harry Potter wanted all the information that had been kept from him and to make some sense of his life. Hermione Granger wanted nothing more than for the nightmares to stop long enough to get a whole night’s sleep. Theodore Nott wanted the same thing. So did Draco Malfoy.
