XV. Le fin est le commencement

"You would do well to surrender now," stormed Dumbledore, trapping
three Death Eaters by forcing a tree to wrap its branches around them,
"your master has had his magic bound and is as good as fallen!"

As it happened, some did very well surrender at once. This was helped along
by the fact that no sooner had he spoken, then Voldemort himself exited the
manor house. Much to everyone's surprise, his apparent snakelike appearance had
gone. In its place was the frail form of what once must have been a handsome
man, now aged considerably and hunched over. His face was lined and tired, his
eyes--no longer red, but a somber brown--were grim with bitter defeat. He was
followed by Narcissa Malfoy, a man Vivienne recognized as Antonin Dolohov, and
the stooped figure of Peter Pettigrew who was clutching a stump where his hand
used to be. Immediately upon seeing this, numerous Death Eaters disapparated in
a series of pops around the grounds and those who remained tossed down their
wands in surrender. A few began blinking and looking around as though they had
just awakened from a very bad dream. Clearly they felt it best to claim to have
been Imperiused. Vivienne narrowed her eyes at the one closest to her and poked
her wand into his neck, watching the vein pulse rapidly as he eyed her.

"Connerie," she said, recognizing him at once as Augustus Rookwood.
"You're going straight back to Azkaban, you great ugly troll."

With that, she disarmed him with a flick and in a trice had him bound and
ready for transport straight to the dementors. Within the hour, all the
prisoners were restrained and transported to Azkaban--Voldemort among them--while
the Order members had disapparated straight back to Grimmauld Place to
congratulate Sirius on his imminent pardon. Vivienne turned from the last group
of Aurors as they disappeared with their prisoners using an old soda can for a
portkey, only to find Severus still standing there watching her.

"I thought you would have gone," she said, tucking a strand of hair
behind her ear.

"For what?" he replied derisively. "To congratulate Black on
finally moving out of his mum's house again?"

Vivienne smiled as she took his hand. "No, to be congratulated for
helping bring down the darkest wizard of our age. You should be happy, you'll
have the Order of Merlin at last. Everyone who was not an Auror or Hit Wizard
should, and maybe even us as well, I'm not sure. Robards was saying there'll be a huge ceremony for it."

"And what will you do," he wondered, coming at last to the thing he
had been dreading as they walked away from the house. "Will you return to
France?"

"Robards actually offered me a permanent position. Any of the Death
Eaters at large will have to be rounded up of course."

"And did you accept?"

Vivienne smiled. "I saw no reason why I shouldn't...and any number of
reasons why I should."

Severus looked suddenly shy at that, and paused as they walked past the pond
she had returned to its normal state. He looked on contemplatively as several
white peacocks strutted about, but seemed as though he was at a loss for words.

"I am glad," he said at length.

"Good. I shall need someone to come home to," she said, taking his
other hand. He looked down at her, startled, before she continued. "Yes,
Severus, I want to continue as we are. And yet, I want more as well. I want to
know that you will always be there. I want you to marry me, Severus."

Never had she seen him so confounded. Severus actually gasped aloud.
"I know it is incredibly forward, darling, but will you?"

"Of course," he said, completely dumbstruck. "Yes. Of course."

"C'est merveilleux!" she said laughing at his utter lack of composure.
"I wondered what it would take to catch you off guard. Now, what do you say
we go crash the party and announce it to the Order?"

At the thought of stealing Sirius' thunder, Severus snapped back to himself
with a sly smile. Holding out his arm so they could apparate together, he said
simply, "let's."

***

As it happened, many things changed from that moment forward. Sirius felt
no more outshined at the announcement but appeared nearly as baffled as Severus
at first. Then, in a landmark display of good humor, he stuck out a hand and praised
his longtime nemesis. Severus was almost completely bowled over at that, but the
job was thoroughly done when Harry Potter thanked him for all he had done and
offered his own congratulations to boot. Knowing now, fully, that not only had
Severus helped to bring down Voldemort, but that he was also fully capable of
falling in love, Potter had no recourse but to concede that he had been wrong
for years. Severus, meanwhile, looked around the kitchen as he realized that his harsh,
dark wizard's façade had finally fallen. Time and again, people came up to shake
hands, clap a hand on his back, hug, or simply say, "thank you."
Vivienne watched on, as her man, her lover, had what he deserved at last. At the
outpouring of affection, the icy veneer had melted and everyone could now see
what she had sensed even from the first time they met. Severus Snape was a good
man. And he smiled.

Over the next several months, calm and order settled over the Wizarding
world. After six months, Draco Malfoy was released from prison and moved
with his mother to Lucius' boyhood home in the Cotswolds where no one heard a
peep from them again. Narcissa, Peter
Pettigrew, and Antonin Dolohov had all been leeched of their magical abilities
as well, and while Narcissa now had to assimilate into her new life as a Squib,
Pettigrew, Dolohov and the now diminutive Tom Riddle wasted away in Azkaban, entirely too weak to
resist the dementors they could no longer see.

Owing to the fact that Pettigrew was discovered alive, he faced several life
sentences to Azkaban for not only aiding in Riddle's second rise to power, but
also for framing Sirius and killing any number of Muggles in the process. Due to
the testimonies of Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Lupin, Sirius did in fact receive a
full pardon and thanks to Dumbledore's account he was awarded the Order of Merlin, second class for his assistance in the
first war. His first order of business was to renovate his house, after finally
making peace with his house elf, and then to begin penning a memoir of his life
in Azkaban.

Severus and Lupin both received the Order of Merlin, first class, for their
assistance in bringing down Riddle. In fact, because of Lupin's involvement, in
addition to Hagrid, Grawp, and the house elves, many inroads were made in the
name of better relations with other magical creatures. The biggest achievement
of all was when St. Mungo's got wind, via Dumbledore of course, that Severus had
perfected the Wolfsbane potion. They had any number of healers trained to make
the potion and immediately began to administer it once a month to any known
werewolves so they could begin leading a more normal life. As a result, their
acceptance in wizarding society reached an all-time high.

Once done, Severus settled back into routine again at Hogwarts, finally
enjoying the Defense Against the Dark Arts position, now that the curse was
broken.

Lupin and Lee Jordan eventually started their own show called "The Wolf
Man's Hour" on the wizarding radio station, and Harry Potter himself
finally discovered what it was like to blend in, finding himself perfectly
content to be forgotten by those who had once called him The Boy Who Lived.

Connerie = Bullshit; bloody stupidity

c'est merveilleux = that's marvelous
