The Forever Game

Epilogue Life Goes On

       “Quiet!” Harry heard Jasmine hiss towards the young wizard, Ethan, who was staring at the obvious wealth displayed by the Ministry chambers.

       “I thought you said your brother had simple tastes?” Ethan objected, his voice thick with his accent.

       “He does,” Jasmine said easily. “But he also knows the importance of appearance. I explained to you, before you met him that time when he visited, the European Empire is run by two Lords, a Lord of Light and a Lord of Dark. My brother is the Lord of Light, he oversees things like food production, essential services and lays out the penal code. The Lord of Dark actually enforces the code, chases the criminals and makes sure they are punished.”

       “I know but it still seems odd to me. Only two people have any real power in this Empire,” the youth said.

       “It may seem odd, but it works. Even your country admits the system is good. There is real equality between Muggleborn and Purebloods and a true hierarchy of ability.” Harry could imagine the smile on his sister’s face.

       “It’s your country too now,” the other wizard said.

       “No,” Jasmine said. “It’s my husband’s country. This is still my home.” His sister’s voice was firm.

       “I still don’t know why he wants to see me again.”

       “I don’t know either,” Jasmine said. “But Celandine’s message was very certain. Harry wanted to see me and you, and while he might be my big brother, he’s still the head of the House of Potter and when he calls, I come.”

       “So old fashioned.”

       Jasmine said nothing. Harry could almost see the expression on her face. It said clearly that Ethan was young and that he would learn and Harry decided that it was time to put in an appearance.

       “Jasmine,” Harry announced his presence, smiling at his sister as he held out his arms to embrace her.

       “Harry!” Jasmine moved close. At ninety-seven she was still spry but Harry could see age lines on her face.

       “Thank you for coming on such short notice,” he whispered to her, holding her tight. Voldemort and Harry had decided this morning that it would be best if only Harry was present. Not for the young wizards comfort but for the future, when any American Legilimens took a peak at the memory. Harry was known to be the merciful one. The ploy would be obvious but the Yanks didn’t need to know that it was Voldemort who would be planning the campaign. They’d work it out in time, but not at first and that would be long enough for Ethan to become established in the political circuit.

       “Any time,” Jasmine said warmly.

       “Sit, sit,” Harry invited and soon they were all sitting down around the small table in Harry’s informal sitting room, cups of tea steaming in front of them.

       “So, what did you want to see me for?” Jasmine asked, flicking her eyes towards the younger wizard at her side to indicate she was perfectly aware that it was him they were really here for.

       “We went hunting the other day in Poland,” Harry began. “It’s a nice country, beautiful scenery and the people are hard working.”

       “Yes, I heard that Lord Voldemort gave it to you for your birthday.”

       “Well, it was my 100th Birthday so I’m sure he wanted to give me something nice,” Harry said nonchalantly.

       “No way! You’re one hundred?” Ethan burst out.

       Jasmine laughed, “Harry is my older brother.”

       “I know you said that but Amily has been telling me the Potter family history so, when I saw him, I just assumed you had given the title to the youngest brother.”

       “No, we gave it to Harry because even if he doesn’t like to admit it, he was the best for it.”

       “There is no way he’s your older brother,” Ethan objected again. The wizard Jasmine was calling her older brother looked no older than twenty five. Sure there were charms, but there was nothing that did that.

       “I’m an immortal,” Harry said calmly.

       “That’s impossible.”

       Harry chuckled. “What makes you say that?”

       “Humans aren’t immortal.”

       “Why not? Vampires were once human and they are immortal.”

       “But you aren’t a vampire,” Ethan said, gesturing to the patch of sunlight that was streaming into the room that Harry was sitting in.

       “I’m not but there are other ways of becoming immortal.”

       “It’s not important Ethan,” Jasmine said firmly. “It just is and I would advise you not to think about it or to attempt to pursue immortality yourself.”

       “But....”

       “The method I used to become immortal is not something that is available to all. It’s common knowledge within our Empire that Voldemort and myself are immortal,” Harry said, his voice dry as if he was discussing the weather. “How we became immortal is not a topic of discussion and is not something I will ever tell you. And let me make this very clear, while I did approve you to marry Amily that will not stop me from killing you in the event I find you pursuing this topic. Do you understand?”

       Ethan swallowed hard, then nodded.

       “Good,” Harry said with a smile, as he reached out to pick up his cup and sipped at his tea.

       After a few deep breaths where Harry watched the young American wizard visibly calming himself, the young man looked over at him. “So,” he began his voice a little unsteady but the word firm. “You wanted to see me?”

       “I did,” Harry said. “When I last visited you, you had no real idea of what you wished to do with your life, did you?”

       “Not really and that was only a week ago so nothing much has changed.”

       Harry smiled, his eyes warm, as he placed his tea cup back on to the table. “I think you might want to consider the benefits of a future in politics.”
