A Marauders Riddle

Epilogue

Tris and Poppy did get married to Regulus and Lucius and they did have children. Poppy had one girl, Lily and Tris also had a girl, Onyx. They played their parts of good pureblood wives well enough, but they were both secretly part of the Order. Tris was also secretly still dating Sirius.

It was a stormy, wild night when Poppy was called to fight a Death Eater raid. Neither side wanted to be there so they were being as vicious as they could so they could all go back home. It was when Poppy dodged a Killing Curse that she came face to face with one of her old friends.
"Bellatrix?" Poppy spluttered.
She'd never thought Bellatrix would join Voldemort. It was always Scarlett who was destined for a life with Voldemort. Bellatrix was driven by fear, fear of her own sister. Poppy was distracted by Bellatrix, her eyes were blurry with tears, so she didn't see the green curse that shot towards her. Bellatrix did. She screamed out a warning, but it was too late. The curse hit and Poppy crumpled to the ground. Bellatrix dropped to her knees and frantically checked for anything to show there was still life left in Poppy. There was nothing. Bellatrix let loose a feral scream and her eyes gleamed with death.

Tris was in an Order meeting when Remus burst in, wet to the skin, an expression of horror on his face. Tris felt herself go cold. Poppy was supposed to be with him. Several members of the Order rose to greet him.
"Where's Poppy?" Tris snapped.
Remus turned to Tris, his eyes holding a terrible sadness.
"Tris, I'm sorry..." Remus began.
Tris began to scream, tears streaming down her face as she thought of Poppy.
"W-who?" she managed to choke out.
"Voldemort." Remus answered.

After the news of Poppy's death, Tris went half-mad with grief. When she recovered somewhat, she set out with vengeance on her mind. It was no use. Tris joined Poppy in the afterlife after a Killing curse shot by Dolohov.

Sirius was thrown in Azkaban after James' and Lily's deaths.

Charlie, unable to handle so many deaths, turned to her phoenix form for the rest of her life and lived at Dumbledore's side as Fawkes, going to the Shrieking Shack for her transformations.

After the war was over, Chloe reinvented herself and eventually took ownership of the Three Broomsticks as Madam Rosmerta.

Poppy's and Tris's graves were next to Lily's and James's. Remus, Charlie and Chloe visited as often as they could, but it would never be enough. Their friends were gone forever, but they lived on in the memories of all who knew them.
