- "so it all comes down to this, doesn't it?" whispered harry. "does the wand in your hand know that its last master was disarmed? because if it does... i am the true master of the Elder Wand."
a red-gold glow burst suddenly across the sky above them as an edge of dazzling sun appeared over the sill of the nearest window. the light hit both of their daces at the same time, so that voldemort's was suddenly a flaming blur. harry heard the high voice shriek as he too yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing draco's wand:
"AVADA KEDAVRA!"
"EXPELLIARMUS!"
the bag was like a cannon blast, and the golden flames that had erupted between then, at the dead center of the circle they had been treading, marked the point where the spells collided. harry saw voldemort's green jet meet his own spell, and saw the elder wand fly high, dark against the sunrise, spinning across the enchanted ceiling like the head of nagini, spinning through the air toward the master it would not kill, who had come to take full possession of it at last. and harry, with the unerring skill of a seeker, caught the wand in his free hand as voldemort fell backward, arms splayed, the slit pupils of his scarlet eyes rolling upward. tom riddle hit the floor with a mundane finality, his body feeble and shrunken, the white hands empty, the snakelike face vacant and unknowing. voldemort was dead, killed by his own rebounding curse, and harry stood with two wands in his hand, staring down at his enemy's shell.

- for twenty six years, the wizarding world was at peace. harry's class at school went on to graduate, but none of them ever forgot the events of that day, the battle at hogwarts. they never forgot those who were lost that day. fred, tonks, lupin, colin creevey, and fifty others who had died fighting. fifty five people lost their lives in that battle. it just wasn't something that could be forgotten. they would never forget the lives that were lost building up to the battle, in the years that they were in school.
but they all went on to lead their own lives. harry and ginny married, having three children. ron and hermione married, having two children. neville longbottom married luna lovegood, having four children. draco malfoy married asteria greengrass, and had three children. all of the other weasleys married, and the weasley family continued to grow. everyone was content.
hogwarts was quickly returned to its original state, and many of the former students went on to teach. neville longbottom was named headmaster in 2012. the school continued to flourish, bringing in new students each year. students continued to graduate each year, going on to lead successful lives. the circle was complete.

- twenty seven years had passed. draco malfoy was sitting in his office, reading a letter from his son. suddenly, he felt a burn on his arm. something he hadn't felt since the day the dark lord was killed. he lifted the sleeve of his robe and saw the familiar mark, permanently marked into his skin. standing up, he quickly walked over to the window. and sure enough, there it was, in the sky. green and glowing. draco looked at the fire, burning in his fireplace. did he go? did he stay and risk the consequences? he stood in his office, staring into space for a good long time. until he finally walked out, and down the stairs.
within a half hour, the small group of death eaters that remained had gathered in a small house outside of lancashire. there weren't many of them, most had died off or had been imprisoned after the battle at hogwarts. suddenly, a tall figure rose at the front of the room. and everyone was silent.
"i appreciate all of you arriving in such a timely manner. it is encouraging to know that there is such a strong following that remains. i would like to introduce myself. my name is arcturus black. and i am the new dark lord."

- mysterious deaths have begun to increase in numbers. there are rumblings of an underground organization. but the order of the phoenix knows better. they know that the death eaters have risen again. but what they don't know, is who the new leader is. but they are ready to fight. the new leaders have trained them well. and they're ready. even though, most of them are hoping that there won't be a war again.
that is, until harry potter's youngest son turns up dead. with a note scrawled in blood across his cloak.
vengeance is served.
