To make a long story short, the wizards took the Saint-Michael children and little Cygnus and went back to where Jacquel was. Her suspicions were confirmed when she saw Riley’s scar and learned of the tragic demise of Stacey and Tillie Saint-Michael. She and the Weasleys wept for their deaths and all felt sorry for the little children.
Harry and Ginny took James and Riley home amid celebrations of the baby’s victory over Maglar the Assassin. The girls went home with Jacquel and Jaden. Fredegar went home with Ron and Hermione. Cygnus returned to her mother.
Many people and wizards cheered this unexpected victory. They cheered for the boy who survived and the girl who saved him. They raised goblets of wine and shouted, “Long live Riley Justin Saint-Michael, the Boy Who Lived! Long live Cygnus AthenaMcGonagall, the Girl Who Saved Him!”
But the next day, the entire wizarding world grieved for the death of the son of Stanislaus Saint-Michael and his wife. They were laid to rest in a tomb near his birthplace. Harry stood at the grave clinging to his son’s tiny hand and staring at the one who should have lived. He swore, “Stace, I’m sorry I forgot to play the hero and save you, but now I’m going to take good care of Riley. He will become the hero that I failed to become. I won’t let him fail the way I did.”

10 years later, Riley Justin Saint-Michael was on his way to Hogwarts.
