A New Beginning

The sun rose over Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The morning dew fell onto the freshly cut grass. The sweet smell of spring hung in the air. People ran on the fields rejoicing and shouting. Owls dropped wizarding newspapers to their students all bearing the same message, much to everyone's joy. Yes, it was a new day. Not just any new day, a free day. The first day that the Dark Lord was finally gone. Inside the castle, in the Hospital Wing, five resting bodies laid.

Professor Dumbledore opened the door to the Wing smiling at the waking teenagers.

"Ah, good you're up. Mind if we all talk a little bit?" he asked.

The worn out teens nodded their heads."Okay, tomorrow night we will be having a ceremony and you all will be honored. You can wear dress robes or those muggle dresses and tuxebos-"

"Tuxedos." Hermione Granger spoke up.

" Yes, tuxedos." Dumbledore replied." Thank you Mrs. Granger. Wednesday night you be having a press conference with all the wizard newspaper companies. Don't answer anything you don't want to answer-"

"What if you don't want to answer at all?" Ron Weasley asked.

" Well, everyone sort of expects this sort of thing I mean, you all have defeated Voldemort." he replied, making everyone but Harry flinch.

"Are we gonna be doing any other conference thingies then?' Harry asked.

" No. Although you will be in the spotlight for quite a while. Just expect people following you, autograph hounds, and wizardazzi.'

"Um, wizardazzi?' Ginny Weasley asked confusedly.

"People following you all the time with wizarding cameras, taking pictures constantly." Draco Malfoy informed.

"Oh." everyone said.

Dumbledore stared for a minute. "Well, that is what the Ministry told me to tell you, but I want to say congratulations, and get some rest. I am very proud of you all. Now get some rest." He said walking out of the infirmary smiling to himself.

" Doesn't he freak you out a bit?' Hermione asked.

The rest of the room nodded as they went back to sleep but Draco.He lay awake thinking . He was going through so much lately, switching to the light side, killing his father, rescuing his mom, afalling in love with Hermione. Oh, Hermione. The sound of her voice made his heart melt. Everything about her drove him crazy. He was so in love with her, he would die for her. Except that she didn't know he loved her that much. In fact, she was still on slightly bad terms with her. No matter how many times he tried to be nice she always would ignore him or talk to him coldly. Oh well, he'd just have to try harder. Slowly he fell into a world or forgetfulness and he drifted asleep.
