After the war, Opening

Its 5:37am, about an hour after the war was finished and a voice boomed through Hogwarts; "Parents, guardians and family members, please report to your childs' house Common room, If your children are in different houses, you may all go to whichever house you'd prefer for the night, or spend it in the Great Hall. If there is not enough sleeping space where you choose to spend the night, a cot or sleeping bag will be provided by Hagrid at the front door. ….Lunch at 11:45.

Chapter 1

The Common Room

Mrs. and Mr. Weasley, Ron, Hermione, Harry & Ginny went to the Gryffindor Common room. All of the other Weasleys stayed in the Great Hall. (Now empty of the bodies) Paying little more attention than left foot, right foot, Mr. Weasley's arm around his wife, Ron & Harry's arms around their girlfriends, the three pairs went up to the Seventh floor and were let in without password to the Common room. Ginny & Mrs. Weasley had stopped crying by the time they got there. Ron sat on the couch, with Hermione leaning against him, Ginny & Harry the same on the floor, and Mr. & Mrs. Weasley sat on a loveseat. No one said anything for 20 minutes, then Hermione finally said "I'm going to bed." Ron sprawled out on the couch after she left, but asked his sister first if she'd like to sit there. Harry lay on a cot brought up then abandoned by a now orphaned First year, who went instead to the Great Hall to sleep where he felt safer with the huge number of other people. Ginny joined Harry on the cot, which was much too small for the both of them. Mrs. Weasley took the last empty bed upstairs, and Mr. Weasley got a cot to put next to her; they've never slept apart for at least 20 years, they wouldn't start now. Hermione couldn't sleep and went back downstairs "Goodnight" she said to Mr. & Mrs. Weasley, and almost the whole room of 17 people replied "Goodnight" or "see you in the morning" Ron shot up to make room for her when he heard her coming, and she sat down, leaning against him again, and fell asleep. Harry, Ginny, and everyone else had also fallen asleep by now.
