squeee!!! thank you thank you THANK YOU! this is the way it was meant to be written.

And in congruence with your previous statement(hopefully I will never have to say that phrase ever again!)....WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND NAMES THEIR SON ABERFORTH?!

When I first saw the name Fred-Ron I was thinking to myself it was a little over the top. Then when I saw the story behind the name I felt just a little silly and happy and whatnot. That was a very good idea. Thanks for the story.

Great story! The concept is terrific and I loved the kids' names, especially the 5 Fred Weasleys and a Fred Malfoy. I might have had Charlie or someone have all girls, hence Fredricka, but that's just me.

There wrere a few lines that were clunky grammatically, but overall, good story.

Nice one! And I like the Fred-naming thingy! I have one question though, if the Potters are living at Hogwarts, then why they still have to be at King's Cross at the start of the term?

Not bad...this version of the epilogue I would have definitely liked to see at the end of Deathly Hallows...

ah ha ha ha ha! Fred-Ron!!! i LOVE that! that is my new favorite name.
love ella

I much prefer your epilogue to the one that was published. Very lovely.

Hello chrisfaithalin!
I have to say that I loved this story... It definetely could work as THE epilogue of the series, really. I especially liked Harry's talk with Severus--the fact that he told him that he would be proud of him no matter what house he was in... that should have been what Harry said to the 'other' Severus. Molventuff! Something Luna would surely say. And the part about all the 'Freds', brilliant. Great work!

yeah who does name their kid Albus or what about Hugo that name... well anyway great work

I enjoyed this epilogue not only because of the couples it contained but it held a lot more information than the real epilogue and was better written. I liked the names to. Naming Dora was really nice and since Harry actually knew her as oppose to Lilly, it more of an honour.

The Fred concept was really nice. I had a hard time believing that Hermione would name her son Hugo!

Wow, that was really cute. Great idea to fill a conceptual hole by re-writing the epilogue in this way.

I especially liked the way you named the kids, the four marauders riding again and the six Freds (reminds of a childrens poem about 26 Daves )

Your take on events were written in such a way that you had me reading right to the end! I liked the pace - it wasn't too fast, nor too slow. I liked the pairings (of course!) and while I was wondering "what the?" over "Fred-Ron" I thought it was hysterically clever when I read what was behind it!
Well done!
Cheers,

Much Better ending. I know its a one shot, but you could go on because we don't know Ron's kids names and ages and what he and Luna do and what about Ginny and Draco's family??

Nice story. I haven't read the actual epilogue so I can't compare this with the book. The pairings are good. I have always imagined Hermione would go with Ron for a while and then break up; Harry would go with Ginny for a while, and then break up, too. And I also always imagined that Ginny would be more bitter than Ron regarding thir respective breakups. This is nice read.
