A/N- I had to start writing this before I forgot the idea. I WILL TRY TO KEEP IT EVEN ON UPDATING WITH I NEVER REALLY LIKED QUIDDITCH UNTIL NOW. Enjoy ^^
**Fred Pov**

The last thing I heard before I got hit with a curse was to watch out. Like that wasn't bloody obvious. I tried to dodge it, I really did. And then...Everything went dark. I winced slightly, I wasn't sure where I was. I hadn't opened my eyes yet, I was trying to remember what happened before and I think the stun still had an effect on me. My sense of hearing came to me first. I heard the crying first, and one stood out to me. It was my mother's cry. Fear ran through me, did someone die? I would have hit myself if I could. Of course people died, but did someone in the family. I struggled, trying to move something, but I couldn't with the spell still on me, fading slowly.

Next thing that came to me is the feel of tears running down my neck,my arms. The heart wrenching sobs weren't stopping, I couldn't tell the words the person on top of me were saying. It sounded like mum and George. And someone else, someone I knew yet I couldn't put a finger on it,literally. I felt as if I was sleeping, I couldn't get enough air. Soon the people were pulled away from me. I could feel the curse gone and I gasped for air, opening my eyes and sitting up, letting out a groan. I hurt everywhere. I looked around,funny, I didn't remember being in here. I turned to my family, a grin on my face. A confused grin, but a grin nonetheless. They looked like they had just seen a ghost. "What is wrong with you guys? Looks like you just saw a corpse get up and talk." I chuckled, before practically everyone tackled me. I let out a groan. "Get off of me. What the bloody hell is wrong with you all?" I asked in a grumble, squirming underneath them.

"Fred, my baby, you're alive. Oh we were so worried. You were so cold." Mum rambled as everyone gave me some space, except her. I looked at them in confusion. Percy was there, and he looked, almost like he was going to faint, it made me want to laugh a bit. "W-We...I saw you get hit by the cu-curse...The killing curse. I saw you with my eyes. And then when I went to check,you wouldn't speak. You were cold." Percy whispered, his hands shaking as he sat down, staring at me. Everyone was around me, my family, Hermione and Harry included. I looked at them and frowned. "No, I think I got hit by a stunning spell...Not a killing curse. Maybe I was about to but... I wasn't the one who got hit with it." I answered, shaking my head. I looked at everyone, they were crying, it was obvious. "Don't ever try and leave me like that again you git!" George growled, trying to sound angry but you could tell how happy he was as he sat down beside me. I let out a laugh and said something, I'm not really sure what. I was on autopilot. I almost died, I could be dead right now. The stunning spell actually saved my life. I could be dead...Now that's what I called a wake up call.

I looked at everyone and saw a small smile on Hermione's face as she looked at me. I smiled back and she rolled her eyes and looked away, turning to Ginny so they could talk about things. "We're going for a walk."Ginny said after a minute. "I...I need to go find someone."She said as she started walking away. Mum was about to say something but I stopped her. "I'll go watch over them, I'm sure they'll stay in here though,the castle I mean." I said as I jumped up and made my way over to the two ladies. Ginny frowned at me and nagged me until she stopped suddenly, I let out a groan. "I'll stay over here, you guys go somewhere else."Ginny said softly, making her way over to Neville. I looked at Hermione with a look of confusion as we went to sit down. "I thought Gin and Harry?" I asked in confusion, what had I missed? "Oh,no no. Not at all. They realized that wouldn't work, seeing as Harry's obviously gay." Hermione snorted, shaking her head. "Neville made a beautiful speech, and they have been talking so much. He's a brave guy." She said with a faint smile as she saw Ron pass, we waved as he made his way over to the loony Ravenclaw girl. I gaped at her. "Harry's into blokes? It isn't bloody obvious!" I said, probably looking similar to a fish. "Yes it is you git! Or at least to a girl." Mione said with a smirk. "And where is ickle Ronniekins going?" I asked as I saw him sit down next to the blonde, starting to talk. "Oh, he's going to talk to Luna. Ronald and I...Decided we wouldn't work out. And in an odd way I can see them as a couple. I knew it wouldn't work, as much as I wanted to. He's too bloody thickheaded to know that the crazy girl probably has feelings too. She's hard to read." She mumbled, shaking her head.

I looked at her, looked at her brunette hair in a wild mess, the cuts on her faces and arms. I frowned slightly, in an odd way she looked...Kind of nice. "And where does that leave you Mione? You found someone?" I asked teasingly, waggling my eyebrows. She let out a laugh and shook her head. "No, no. I think it's better to not focus on that silly stuff until after Hogwarts. It's going to open again, you know, hopefully on time." She said as she looked over me. "You're coming back to this dreadful place?You know you have to..."I trailed off, looking around dramatically. "Learn here?" I finished in a loud whisper, my eyes wide. She laughed again, hitting me gently. "Yes Fred, I know. That's exactly why I'm coming back. I need to be here if I ever want to become a healer. Which reminds me..." She trailed off turning towards me, getting out her wand. She did a couple of quick healing charms, getting a hiss out of me because let me tell you, it doesn't feel great when you get magically healed no matter what you think. "I could only do the basics, you still have some cuts and stuff, but I hoped it helped a bit. I'm going to go find Harry, I have an idea where he headed off to. I'll be safe. You be safe too." She told me narrowing her eyes as she hopped up from her seat, starting to walk away. I watched with a smile before she turned to look at me again. "You know, you should think about coming back. I know and you and George are busy with the store but you have Lee working there too. Wouldn't it be nice for at least one of you complete your potions classes so you can do more advanced pranks? Just getting you into thinking. Not to mention how proud your mum would be. Maybe get off your back a little." She said before walking away. Damn, she had a point. The idea would definitely be in my mind, but then I let out a snort. Who was I kidding? Why would I ever go back to a place where they forced me to wake up early and learn? I let out a snort and made my way over to join the rest of my family. I needed to face the bad news of all those who weren't as lucky as me and yet, I think mum would have a celebration for me, and to honor those who had died for the greater good of course.

**Hermione POV**

"I somehow don't think he's coming back." I said softly to Harry who was waiting outside. It was obvious to me who he fancied. He saved his arse way too many times not to notice. Harry jumped and turned to look at me sadly. "Yeah I know." He mumbled running a hand through his messy hands. "Not yet at least. When we come back to Hogwarts maybe he'll come back too. Maybe I'll see him somewhere,maybe I'll-" He continued before seeing someone walking this way. We both had our wands at the ready, it was just a habit now. Two people now appeared. I was stunned to see Narcissa and Draco Malfoy, we were just talking about them and yet...Here they come. "We turned in Lucious to Saint Mungo's...He was ill minded, it wasn't hard to say. We came back to pay our remorse, and offer our home to people who have lost theirs." The woman said, looking so much older than she probably was. I shuddered, I probably wouldn't ever be able to step foot in that place again. But we were both stunned, of course Narcissa wasn't a bad woman, we just think she got pulled into the wrong crowd, that she was married to a man who was mad and she couldn't do anything about it. "When our cases come into trial Mr. Potter, I was wondering if you could speak in favor of us, my son and I that is. I don't expect you to if you don't want to but it would be greatly appreciated. Now I'm going to go find Professor McGonagall and offer my help to her." The mother said, bowing her head in respect before heading to the castle. "Mrs. Malfoy! I will go with you!" I offered as I looked at the two boys, looking at each other. The woman smiled at me and nodded her head. "Thank you Miss..."She trailed off. "Granger, my last name is Granger. But you can call me Hermione if you like Mrs. Malfoy. I think I'll be seeing you again."I told the lady, opening the door for her. I glanced at the two boys, a twinkle in my eye.

**HARRY POV**

Why would Hermione do this to me? I paled slightly as I looked at Draco, and then looked away. "W-We can go sit over there." I gestured to a pile of rubble, I went to go sit down, staring straight ahead, not seeing if he would follow. He did though, I saw from the corner of my eye. "Are you going to come back? When the castle is rebuilt?" Draco asked suddenly, and I turned to look at him. I wasn't expecting a question, possibly insults. "And thank you-You saved my life when you didn't have to. I saved yours to, back at the manor but you saved my life numerous times." He added faintly, I wondered if he was hoping I didn't hear him. Maybe he thought I would gloat or something.

I nodded my head with a smile. "You're welcome. As for the answer to your question, yes, I think I'm coming back. I think Hermione would make me come back either way. I still want to be an auror too, I think I have to complete all seven years to be one. All of us are coming back, last year wasn't really a teaching year, a good last year experience. That's what Neville and Luna said at least." I said running my fingers through my unkempt hair. We stayed silent for a few minutes, looking at him. "Are you coming back?" I asked.

He hesitated a bit before answering, I could see his hesitation. "Yes, I think I am. It would please mother, and I want to be a healer I've decided like Grang- Hermione." He answered, nodding his head. I grinned at him, I was absolutely shocked. "Well that's wonderful." I whispered, he was trying to have a fresh start it seems. "Mrs. Weasley is having a get together tomorrow, to celebrate those who lived and to honor those who didn't. Would you and your mother like to come?" I asked, I knew I should have asked Mrs. Weasley first but I knew, or hoped, she wouldn't mind all too much, everyone else probably will though. Except maybe Hermione, and possibly Gin. He looked at me with a frown. "Will that be okay with her?" He asked uncertainly, chewing on his lower lip. "Yeah, she likes having company." I answered quickly and he smiled. "Okay,I'll tell mother, she should be out soon." We chatted for a few more minutes before Hermione and his mum came back outside. "Goodbye!" Hermione and I called after they apparated. "They have a Hufflepuff family staying with them. They're going to open the wards and such so they can apperate them, and clean up a bit." Hermione explained as we walked inside and over to Mrs. Weasley.

"I was wondering where you went! Don't scare me like that again!" Mrs. Weasley scowled us and we looked down at our feet. "Sorry." Hermione let out and I nodded my head in agreement. "Mrs. Weasley you know the get together tomorrow?" I asked weakly as I looked up at her. "Of course! We need to leave shortly so everyone can look all nice and then help me clean!" She said, a list obviously rolling down in her head, everyone letting out a groan as we watched her. "Well I-I kind of invited people...People you wouldn't expect me to and-"I rambled before Hermione cutting me off. "He invited Draco and Narcissa Malfoy. And as you saw Mrs. Weasley, Narcissa has changed. She's a nice woman and Draco's a fine young man. They just both got caught up in Lucius' way. If they try and start something there will be people to stop them." Hermione said with her puppy face, her brown eyes getting big and a pout no her face. Everyone started protesting but then Hermione leaned in to whisper something in Mrs. Weasley's ear and then her face lit up. "Of course Harry,anything for a friend of yours. Oh, you're just like one of my babies. Have whoever you like come over that will make you happy." I groaned as she engulfed me in a hug and I glared at Hermione who gave me an innocent look. "Fred and I will go gather Ginny and Ron!" Hermione said as she dragged Fred away from George. Yeah, she better leave I thought as Mrs. Weasley started mumbling something about a wedding between Draco and I.
**HERMIONE POV**
"Oi! What was that for?" Fred asked as I dragged him away from his twin. "Sorry, Harry's mad at me because I told your mum about Harry having a little thing for Draco." I said with a grin and he looked at me with wide eyes. "It's not as if it was obvious. Why else would Harry want them there?" I asked as he tried to get out words, which he couldn't. "Hi Gin, we have to go soon. We have loads to do for the get together and...Hi Neville, I'm so glad you're alright." I said as I hugged him quickly as Ginny glared at me, oops, did I interrupt something? "Neville I need to have a long talk with you." Fred started as Ginny grabbed him and started pulling him away. "Sorry about the two, remember, Mrs. Weasley would love to have you over for the get together, Ginny will owl you the time!" I said before making my way over to the squabbling siblings.

"Would you two knock it off!" I hissed, hitting the both of them before we went to grab Ron and invite Luna. We then all headed back over to the Weasley's and Harry and apperated to the burrow, our home. Or at least my home, because that's what it has become since my mum and dad are safe in Australia. I smiled sadly as we ended up at the Weasley house. We all rushed to our rooms, wanting to get clean as soon as possible. After we were all clean and feeling better, we got to work on cleaning the house. Which, I don't mind so much the guys on the other hand...Would rather apperate. Which the twins did, back to their shop. I rolled my eyes with a smile. One of those days the two pranksters will grow up and learn.

A/N- So what did y'all think? ^^ LEAVE A FLAMES -.-
