It takes place on their last day of school, during the awards ceremony. It's a songfic and It's called...
Oh How The Years Go By
Part One
The Ceremony
Harry got up out of bed and looked around the dormitory. He knew he was seeing it for the one of the last times. It was the end of of his twenty-fist term at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the last day oof the best seven years of his life.
Ron came in and stood beside him. "Our last day, huh?" he said. "Do you rekon Dumbledore'll give us us a special award or something? Or maybe make up a new school house and name it after us? I mean, we've saved the school enough times!"
"Probably" Harry replied. "We already have school service awards from back in second year, but we do kind of deserve something more."
"Of course we do" said Hermione, walking into their dormitory. She was already wearing her special graduation robe and her HeadGirl badge, and her hair was done up in an elegant bun. "Remember, I don't have a school service award, I was solid stone when you guys went into the Chamber of Secrets!"
"Yes, Hermi" said Ron as Harry gave his girlfriend a kiss. "We remember. We wouldn't have known where the Chamber was if it wasn't for you."
Hermione giggled. "How'd you know I was going to say that?"
"Herm" Harry said. "We've known you for seven years! Of course we know when you're about to say something to prove you're the smartest of us all!"
Hermione fell into Harry's arms laughing. "well at least you've always admitted it!"
"Whatever. All I know is, we didn't do all that heroic junk for nothing." Ron laughed as he pinned on his prefect badge.
***
Harry was still having trouble believing it was his last day at Hogwarts. He was sitting between Ron and Hermione in the great hall. Diplomas were being handed out, but they hadn't been called yet. Dumbledore had call all the regular students up, and then the Prefects. Out of the Prefects, he just had Ron left, and then he would call up the head boy and girl: Harry and Hermione. To everyone's surprise, he promptly rolled up his scroll and stepped back, and the ceremony continued.
"Hmm" Hermione wispered to Harry and Ron in a sarcastic voice. "I wonder why he forgot us..."
As ceremony continued, they were called up for several other awards, including overall best in academia, which went to Hermione, but there was no mention of their diplomas, untill finally, Dumbledore stood.
"I think now is the time" he began "to recognize three students who's achievements are numerous and beneficial to not only this school, but to the entire wizarding world. I assume you all know of whom I speak."
The whole hall burst out in laughter. Of course they knew. They all knew.
"Their achievments are as follows" said Proffesor Dumbledore as a huge screen appeared out of nowhere. "During their first year, they saved Nicholas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone from Voldemort's grasp and smuggled a baby dragon out of the castle that they thought I didn't know about."
"You knew about that?!" exclaimed Ron. Dumbledore's eyes twinkled. "See, Proffesor McGonagall! We we're telling the truth!" Proffesor McGonagall just shook her head, a smile on her face. "I should have known you three were capable of anything!" Everyone laughed.
On the screen, two pictures apeared. One showed them with Norbert and Hagrid, and in the other the trio were in Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom, after they had knocked out the troll Quirrel had set loose.
*In our times of Trouble*
*We only had ourselves*
*Nobody Else*
*No one there to save us*
*We had to Save Ourselves*
Dumbledore continued. "In their second year, they found the Chamber of Secrets and brought down the heir of Slytherin, who had captured Ginny Weaseley. In doing this, they gave me a very good excuse to get rid of Gilderoy Lockheart."
"I think that was our best achievement yet!" said Hermione, and even Snape laughed at that.
On the screen, there was a picture of Harry, frantically trying to get away from Lockheart.
*And when the Stars came through*
*They found me and you*
*Back to Back*
*Together*
"In their third year, they saved Sirius Black from the Dementor's Kiss, aswell as a Hippogriff."
The screen showed the trio disarming Snape in the Shrieking Shack. Everyone laughed, but tried to do so quietly, due to menacing glances coming from Snape.
*And when the Sun would shine*
*It was yours and Mine*
*Yours and Mine Forever*
"During their fourth year. one of them competed in the Triwizard Competition, and, with the help of the other two, won and escaped Voldemort, a third time."
The screen showed a picture of Cedric, and they all bowed their head in remembrance, that is, all of them except Malfoy and his pals.
"I wish, for once, I could just stand up and yell at him in front of everyone" whispered Harry. "What a jerk."
"No one's stopping you Harry. But I have a better idea." She pulled out her wand. "Bendus Petrificus Waitas!"
Malfoy suddenely yelped in pain. "Proffesor Dumbledore! Someone's cursed me!"
Hermione stood up. Malfoy was bent double. She used a spell that would make him bow, painfully. "I cursed him! And I have a good reason too. Malfoy was showing no respect, and never has for Cedric, or anyone else who has been killed by Voldemort. He deserves what he got, and I refuse to reverse it."
"Mudblood! Undo this now or..."
"Draco!" said Proffesor Dumbledore "For being disrespectful, you will stay like that, and Miss Granger, no more cursing during the ceremony."
"Proffess-"
"Draco, return to your seat." Draco shuffled back to his chair, glaring at Hermione all the way.
"You really got him, Herm!" wispered Ron, silently laughing.
*Oh How the years go By*
*Oh how the love, brings tears to my eyes*
*All through the Changes*
*The soul never Dies*
*We Fight, We Laugh*
*We Cry*
The trio was was amazed. Hearing their accomplishments read aloud, they realiized, they had really done some amazing things. It had never really set in before, but they, in away, had saved the world, more than once. They were all famous, and just because of famouse Harry Potter. They earned fame.
*As the Years Go By*
"In their Fifth year, they became prefects, and captured Peter Pettigrew, Voldemort's spy. He was the one responsible for the death of James and Lily Potter, not Sirius Black. The trio finally gav an innocent man back his life."
*There were times we Stumbled*
*They thought they had us Got*
*But We came around, Yeah*
The picture was of Sirius and them, after his charges had been cleared and he had recieved an official pardon from the Ministy of Magic.
*How we rolled and rambled*
*We got Lost, We got Found*
*Now we're back on Solid Ground*
"Last year, two of them were missing for several weeks. They had been kidnapped by Voldemort, andthe other rescued thenm and confront Voldemort. With aid of other wizards, they brought him to his knees, anf thus ending his reign of terror."
*We took everything, all our times would bring*
*In this world of Danger*
*Because when your heart is strong*
*You know you're not alone*
*In this world of Strangers*
"Oh my god!" On the screen there was a picture of the three of them after Harry had rescued the other two. They were hugging. "Oh my god! Look at my hair!" yelled Hermione.
"Hermi, of course your hair's a mess, you were inprisoned for six weeks!"
"Hey Mr. Potter! It's you're job to tell me I look beautiful, anywhere, anytime!"
"Look!" said Parvati. "They're already fighting like husband and wife!"
*Oh how the Years go By*
*Oh how the Love*
*Brings tears to my Eyes*
*All through the changes*
*The soul never dies*
*We fight, We laugh, We cry*
"Enough! I'm almost done." said Dumbledore.
"Okay Proffesor, you can talk now!"
"Thank you, Miss Patil..." said Dumbledore, slightly amused. "Now, that brings us to this year. Two of then became Head Boy and Girl and they enjoyed a well earned rest, with a reasonable uneventful year."
*As the years go by...*
"So will they please come forward, Ronald Weaseley, Head Girl Hermione Granger, and of course, Head Boy, the famous Harry Potter."
There was a tulmoultuous (A/N- I hope that's how you spell it!) cheer as the trio stood up and Harry kissed Hermione. They made their way up to the stage as Dumbledore continued.
"You three have done some amazing things. You've shown cunnung, knowledge, logic, friendship, loyalty, and bravery, well beyond your years. I and many others honor you for it. I am pleased to present you with an award, which in the future, will be named after you. I will go to any student that shows bravery, knowledge, and moral fibre, just as you have."
The three were amazed. Hermione was giggling and crying at the same time, Harry was speechless, but Ron was able to say something.
"I know they're are people in this world that think were amazing, or special, but were just like all of you. We've grown up, been touched by others, been affected by Voldemort. Just like all of you, we've had our fights, our fall-outs, just like you have with your friends. But we stuck together through it all. Yes, there were parts that were hard, painful, and well, just plain scary. But we kept going, just as hopefully any of you would. Sure, it's cool, we get an award named after us, a plaque on the wall, but what matters to us, is we saved lives. We helped. We know, yes, Voldemort is gone, but someone else will come around. But we bought time against evil. That, and the fact that our lives would be soooooo dull!"
*If we lose our way*
*Any night or day*
*Well we'll always be*
*Where we should Be*
"Yeah, really!" said Harry. "My life would be so boring!"
Dumbledore smiled. "I'm sure you'd find some way to amuse yourselves. But I have yet another announcement"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what the anouncement could be.
"I am resigning as Headmaster of this school"
The entire school gasped."WHAT?"
"And I am offering the job to you three."
*I'm there for you*
*And I know your there for me*
Their jaws dropped. Hermione was the first to speak. "You must be kidding! Us, Proffesor Dumbledure?"
"Are you declining?" he asked miscieviously, knowing the answer.
"No!" they all said at once.
The whole crowd cheered.
Dumbledore raised his hands over their heads. "I bestow upon you, by the power invested in me, the knowledge and secrets of this school, past down, generation to generation, from the time of Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Gryffingor themselves. May you honor and protect these sacred halls of learning and make them a better place."
As he said these words, the three of them, felt older, wiser, and knew Dumbledore was right: they'd do a good job.
"I now will present you with your plaques and and photo albums, which I conpiled myself. They show your memories and achievements over the years. You may step down."
"Wait!" Harry stopped them. He turned to Hermione. "I love you. There's no simpler way to say it." He got down on his knee and said:
"Hermione Granger, will you marry me?"
"Oh my God!" Hermione said, tears streaming down her face. "Yes, Harry Potter, I will marry you!"
The hall burst out in cheers as they kissed, Harry still on his knees."
The end...of part one.
Hey did you like it? I know it was long, I'll try to make the next parts shorter, k?
