Mr and Mrs Black and the Unashamedly Unabridged Epilogue

Sirius, the dog star. Brightest star in the sky. It's not a single star. It's a binary system: two stars that orbit each other around a common centre of gravity. A larger one, and a smaller one. Some even think there's an even smaller third star in the mix. Three months have passed since the final battle at Hogwarts. In an event known to the Wizarding public as "The Miracle at the Veil", four of Harry, Ron, and Hermione's dearly departed comrades have been returned to the world of the living. All should be well – or, at least, returning to normalcy – but with Minister for Magic Delores Umbridge in charge, Hermione isn't convinced. With so many believing the troubled times have passed, the Order of the Phoenix has been reduced to fewer than thirty members. It's them against the entire Ministry of Magic and a population sick and tired of war. Hermione can't stop fighting, nothing can go back to the way it used to be, and with a new, unexpected, and, at first, unwanted partner in crime, she has to grow up fast. As an Irish bookseller also by the name of Black once dismissively asserted: "you'll laugh, you'll cry, it'll change your life". This story mixes romance, drama, humour, and action.
