Queen of the Dark

Chapter 13

Tom smirked as Hades walked into the throne room. His Death Eaters all stared at him as he made his way to his throne. Beside him were his manservants and Apollo. Apollo took his seat on Tom's left, while Hades sat on his right.

In front of them, chained and forced into kneeling positions, was most of the Order of the Phoenix. Tom smirked as he looked over them. They had captured them in the raid on their headquarters. The rest had died at the battle at the Ministry when it fell.

The war had been won.

One glance at his queen and Tom's smirk grew. Hades had a satisfied gleam in his eyes as he looked upon those that betrayed him, knowing that it was his work that had brought them down to their knees before him.

"What should we do with them, my lord?" Lucius asked.

"My queen?" Tom asked, turning to Hades.

The Order's eyes widened when they realized that Hades was not his right-hand, but was his queen.

"Do what you will," Hades said coldly.

Tom smiled and said, "Take them to the dungeons."

As they were dragged away by the outer circle, Hades said, "Bella, dear, you can have Granger."

Bella gave the queen a delighted grin and skipped off to the dungeons. Her husband, Rodolphus, shook his head fondly.

It had been two years since the war had been won and the magical world was better off for it. Muggleborns and muggle-raised students were given courses on magical etiquette for the summer before they attended Hogwarts, which had mandatory Wizarding Culture and Traditions class, which was taught by Narcissa Malfoy.

Hogwarts had many new changes after the war. There were several new classes and teachers, and Tom removed the curse from the DADA position, which was now only known as Defense, before letting Hades teach the class. Apollo taught Divination and did a much better job than Trelawney. Lucius taught the new Politics class and Remus taught History of Magic after they exorcised Binns. Rabastan took over the new Dark Arts class, which taught the Dark Arts to those with Dark cores and affinities. Severus took the position of Headmaster and Hades was his Deputy.

Hades loved his job. He loved to teach Defense, just as he always had. He was a natural teacher and most of the students favored him above the rest of the staff. He was closer with most of the students than their head of house was and many came to him with disputes and problems.

Tom was ruling Magical England as King and had instated a parliament made up of the influential Lords and Ladies from around Magical England, both Light and Dark. He was a good king and many admired him now that they saw his true means and not the propaganda of Dumbledore.

Speaking of the former Headmaster, Dumbledore was still alive, as promised, but he was living in a shack and had no supporters any longer. His reputation had been completely destroyed with just that one article from the Quibbler. With no followers, his magic as a Light Lord dimmed to a tiny flame. He was no longer the powerful wizard he once was.

Remus and Sirius lived in the Castle with their adopted son, Teddy. Sirius was compensated by the Ministry when Tom took over and no longer needed to work to support his family, not that he did in the first place. Instead, he looked after Teddy and attended his place in the Wizengamot and Parliament.

The Elites all got their own happy lives as well. Neville was the herbology professor at Hogwarts and the Head of Gryffindor House. Fred and George went back to their newly renovated and improved shop and lived happily together there with Blaise, who had officially began dating George a year after the end of the war. Luna was the owner and Editor of the Quibbler, which had quickly become the most popular magazine in Magical England.

Draco and Apollo were dating, which surprised no one except Lucius. Draco was planning to propose soon, something that Hades wholeheartedly agreed to when asked if it was alright with him.

Hades and Tom officially got married as well. It was a small ceremony, with only their close friends and family invited. They had their honeymoon in Italy, and they both enjoyed it very much.

All in all, most were happy under the new king and queen. Everything had changed for the better and life couldn't be better.

And so ends the story of the Queen of the Dark.
