What ever happened beyond the Deathly Hallows; Interview by RpSp

We all have read in the Daily Prophet on what happened after the death of the Dark Lord nineteen years later with the boy who lived. But more over, i was able to talk to Bathilda Bagshot's Successor in writing the updated "Hogwarts; a History." and she had agreed to answer some of my questions of what else happened nineteen years later.

Who was the character JK Rowling stated she gave a "reprieve" to in the final novel?

Arthur Weasley was initially intended to die in the Battle of Hogwarts, but Rowling changed her mind. In the end, Lupin and Tonks died instead. She stated she sobbed when she made her final decision.

Who did Draco Malfoy marry?

Draco and Astoria had one son, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy.

Who killed Remus Lupin?

Antonin Dolohov struck down Lupin, and Bellatrix Lestrange eliminated her niece Nymphadora, leaving little Teddy to be raised by his grandmother, Andromeda.

What was the ultimate fate of Florean Fortescue?

Althought she did not give a reason, JK Rowling said that Fortescue was indeed murdered by the Death Eaters.

Who did Cho Chang marry?

Nothing is known of the man Cho married, or whether they had children together.

Dolores Umbridge was imprisoned in Azkaban for what crime?

Although she did try slipping Veritaserum to Harry as well as attempting to use the Cruciatus Curse on him, and she threatened Muggleborns with the Dementor's Kiss if they didn't cooperate during her interrogations, her overall sentence was for general Crimes Against Muggleborns. Incidentally, the Dementors no longer guard Azkaban, although what happened to them has not been said.

What is Dumbledore's Boggart?

Dumbledore's Boggart is the dead body of his little sister Ariana. It is probably because of the tremendous sorrow and guilt he felt, because he never knew if he was the one who fired the spell that killed her.

Harry has no contact with the Dursleys whatsoever?

Nope, It's highly unlikely that Harry speaks with his aunt and uncle, but he and Dudley are on what my historian describes as "Christmas Card" terms. She also says that every now and then Harry and his family will visit Dudley and his family...something that James, Lily, and Albus are NEVER happy about!

Voldemort would have allowed Lily Potter to live if she had stepped aside and allowed him to kill Harry?

My historian stated that if Lily had done as he ordered and moved out of the way, Voldemort would have spared her life, as Snape had asked him to.

Two more small tidbits about the Potters: they were asked to join the Death Eaters, but some in Voldemort's company felt they were too close to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore also knew what had happened on the night they were murdered because there was an alarm spell on the house.
Many people have also wondered what Aunt Petunia stopped herself from saying the night the Dursleys left. According to my historian, she was going to say "I know what you're going up against. I hope everything turns out all right", or something to that effect.

Did Ginny Weasley work for the Daily Prophet as the Columnist for Magical Advice?

No, After leaving Hogwarts, Ginny played for the Holyhead Harpies and she was loved by the fans. Ginny played for the team for a few years before retiring from Quidditch to have, and look after, her children with Harry. The children were named James, Albus and Lily. After raising the children she became the Senior Quidditch Correspondent for the "Daily Prophet".

Did Rita Skeeter ever write for the Daily Prophet after the death of Lord Voldemort?

Rita Skeeter still wrote for the Daily Prophet after Voldemort died. She also wrote a biography of Severus Snape and Harry Potter. The ministry never found out about her being an unregistered animagus, and she is thought to be the only unregistered animagus in the world.

Where did Percy work after the death of Voldemort?

Percy became a high ranking official under Kingsley Shacklebolt. Percy eventually decided to take the side of the rest of his family and resigned from the corrupt Ministry of Magic.

What happened to Firenze the Centaur?

Firenze was eventually allowed to return to the herd. The rest of the herd were forced to admit that Firenze's actions towards humans were actually honourable, not dishonourable.

Who did Neville Longbottom marry?

Neville Longbottom married Hannah Abbot. Once Hannah left Hogwarts, she became the landlady of the Leaky Cauldron. Neville became the Herbology Professor. Neville lived with her above the pub, which his students thought was cool. He showed his D.A. coin to his admiring pupils.

What happened to the Resurrection Stone after Harry dropped it going into the forest?

Harry dropped it on the way to face Voldemort in the forest. He told Dumbledore's portrait that he wasn't going to looking for it again. J.K Rowling said that it was squashed into the ground by a centaur running to aid the fighters at the Battle of Hogwarts and was never found again.

How many children did Hagrid have?

Hagrid never married and had no children. The main reason for this is that there are not many people who would marry him. The only woman he met who was also a half-giant was more sophisticated than he. That was of course Madame Maxime. 

Who appeared on a chocolate frog card?

They all did. Harry did appear on a chocolate frog card. He was credited for slaying the darkest wizard of all time. Hermione and Ron also appeared on chocolate frog cards, which Ron described as his finest hour.

Which quidditch team does Harry become the Seeker for?

Harry did not become the Seeker for the Chudley Cannons, he became an Auror at the Ministry of Magic. Kingsley Shacklebolt, the Minister for Magic, said that anyone who fought at the Battle of Hogwarts could become an Auror without taking their N.E.W.Ts. Hermione returned to Hogwarts to take her N.E.W.Ts, but Harry and Ron did not. Ron also became an Auror, after working alongside George at the joke shop. The Chudley Cannons continued to lose games with no decent players.

Who stole the Marauder's Map from Harry's desk?

Harry did not give the map to any of his children. However James Potter II stole it from Harry's desk, implying that he inherited Harry's slightly reckless streak. James Potter II used the map for some fun and excitement at Hogwarts.

Who's characters' death did NOT help in the creation of a Horcrux?

Morfin Gaunt. Since Morfin died in Azkaban, there was no way his death could have been used to create a Horcrux. Bertha Jorkins' death was used to make Nagini one, (although Dumbledore states in the Half-Blood Prince that Frank Bryce's death made her a Horcrux, my historian has confirmed in interviews that Dumbledore was mistaken, Nagini became a Horcrux before Bryce's murder) Voldemort turned the ring into one when he killed his father, and Moaning Myrtle's death was used for the diary. A muggle beggar was used in turning Slytherin's locket into one, Hepzibah Smith's death turned Hufflepuff's Cup into one, and an Albanian peasant was murdered in order to transform Ravenclaw's Diadem into one.

What house was Teddy Lupin sorted into?

Just like his mother, Teddy Remus Lupin is a Hufflepuff. He's also a Metamorphmagus, but thankfully has never shown any sign of lycanthropy, as his father was afraid he might.

Who did Luna Lovegood end up marrying?

Luna married the great grandson of Newt Scamander, who authored the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them". She became the wizarding equivalent of a "naturalist", and had twin sons named Lorcan and Lysander. Over time, however, she finally admitted that there's no such thing as a Crumple-Horned Snorkack.

Did Snape never received a portrait in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts?

Initially, Snape's portrait did not appear in the office after his death, because he had more or less "resigned" the position when he ran from the castle on the night of the Battle of Hogwarts. But Harry, after viewing the memories Snape had given him, made sure that the public knew just whose side Snape was truly on, and also made sure a portrait of him finally appeared in its rightful place.

Which of the following characters was in love with Voldemort?

Bellatrix Black only married Rodolphus Lestrange because it was expected of her to take a Pureblood husband. Her true affections lay with her Master, although it's doubtful he was capable of returning any feelings of affection or warmth towards her in return.

Who was Harry's godmother?

He had none. Harry's christening was a very hushed, secret affair, with only his parents and Sirius present.

What team did Ginny play Quidditch for?

Ginny played with the Harpies for a time, then retired to raise her children. She then began writing a weekly sports column for "The Daily Prophet".

After the Battle of Hogwarts, who was apppointed Headmaster/Headmistress of Hogwarts?

Professor McGonagall took over as Headmistress following the Battle of Hogwarts, and retired in 2017. There is no information on who replaced her, other than the fact that the new Head of Hogwarts is a Wizard.

Did the Golden Trio all returned to Hogwarts to sit their N.E.W.T. exams?

Only Hermione returned to finish out her seventh year. She now works in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, where she has helped to better the lives of House Elves, as well as overturn centuries worth of oppressive anti-Muggleborn laws. Harry went on to train as an Auror, becoming head of the department. Ron went to work at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes with George for a time, then joined Harry at the Ministry as an Auror himself.

After for almost a day of interview with my historian on the Leaky Cauldron, I really am pleased to inform you all that she has given us more than satisfactory for answers.

And so for the people who i am with here at Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, I raise my goblet to our dear beloved historian, and as we know, more than that.

to JK Rowling:

for the time that you have tickled our sleeping dragons which was called before as our mere imagination!
