Prologue

AN: I've based this fic on the story of the next generation but instead of the pairings at the end of DH I have based it on two of the most popular parings: Harry and Luna and Hermione and Draco. The children's first names are the same a couple have the same last name but the parents and the last names are different. Enough of me twittering on let's ge down to it.

The hallway was dark and cold the once friendly and active corridors were now twisted halls of death, fear and rubble. The Crimson glow of the burning buildings bathed the corridor in an ominous cloak of blood red. The sounds of screams and yells could be heard echoing through the corridors. Hermione Granger was running, running for her life running from the death eaters that she had tried to defeat. They had killed three students with Hermione and now they were after her, she had been separated from Harry and Ron and was now looking for them while trying to survive. Her trainers clunked against the cold stone floor. Her curly brown hair whipped behind her as she looked through teary eyes of sunken brown. Her clothes that were once immaculate were now torn and tattered. She was scared, scared of what had happened scared of what she had seen. Daring not to look back she couldn't she wouldn't it was too horrible.

*I've got to find a way to lose these guys and find the boys * she thought as she reached a dead end. that was when she heard she heard the horrible sound of a several men laughing evilly she turned ti see three death eaters she feared tem as she knew they had spelt death for so many. She acted quickly and let out two stunning spell the first hit one of the death eaters and the other missed. One of the death eaters laughed "You shouldn't of done that mudblood" he said as he raised his wand and pointed it Hermione "Avada kadava" but the spell never hit her instead the death eater fell to the floor dead as did the other. Hermione looked round to see who had saved her and what she saw shocked her it was Draco he stood above the dead death eaters and looked at Hermione "Let me guess Malfoy you wanted he honour of killing me yourself" she spat defiantly "Well go on them do it" she added

Draco just looked at her "Don't be so stupid Granger I don't want to kill you" he said simply

"Why not isn't that what you murderers do kill innocent people, well that and kissing Voldemort's backside" she yelled "All of you are all the same your just murders and thugs" she added.

"I'm not killing you because too much blood has been spilled and I don't want to be part of it" Draco yelled his temper had got the best of "and..." "And what" Hermione interrupted.

"I LOVE YOU!" Draco yelled shocking Hermione but after a small while it sunk in "as do I" she said in a state of shock.

Ron was fighting a group of death eater he had been separated from his friends an when he went to look for the he was attacked by a death eater he narrowly avoided getting hit by a curse. Since then he had been involved on constant battles, he had just defeated hid fourth death eater when a girl's scream grabbed his attention he ran ti the sound and saw Grey back biting into Lavender he quickly blasted him away and ran over to her. She was lying on the ground blood gushing from her neck Ron placed his hand on the wound "You'll be fine Lavender I'll get you to the medics" he said trying to reassure the crying girl. It was at that moment that he realised that he still felt something for Lavender even after all this time there was still something there. He was determined to save her so he picked her up and carried her to the great hall where one of the medics took her and managed to stabilise and heal her although Ron was informed she would was infected by the bite and that she would become a werewolf or at least half of one anyway.

Harry was fighting for his life against his arch enemy they were evenly matched but all the horcroxs had been destroyed the battle was intense as the green and white spells collided sending stray bits of magic everywhere but eventually Voldemort began to get the upper hand. Luna had been watching Harry from the shadows waiting to help her boyfriend they had been seeing each other for over a year ever since the battle in the ministry. She saw he chance and shot a series of stinging curses at Voldemort this distracted him long enough for harry to get the upper hand and administer the final blow. With the help of Luna Harry was able to defeat Voldemort and end the war. Now the difficult task of rebuilding began but first they had to take stock of the dead and wounded. Harry walked into the grand hall holding Luna's hand both their hearts became heavy as they saw the dead lined by the door and the wounded being treated. There must of been nearly 100 casualties. Harry saw both Hermione and Ron and ran up to them hugging them tightly. He then saw Draco and stood ready to hex hum but Hermione told him what he did and what they said and he lowered his wand. After he ad re-joined his friend they went over to professor McGonagall who was talking to madam Pomfrey. "Professor how did we do?" Harry asked.

"Not too badly" she said solemnly "We have 50 dead and 45 injured but we haven't finished combing the castle" she added.

Over the next few days all the dead had been gathered and most of the wounded had been healed. He light side lost 60 people but the death eater loses where higher the ones that survived had been arrested and taken to Azkaban all except for Draco who had been let go after Hermione, Ron and Harry had talked to them. Draco was the last Malfoy male his farther had been killed in the battle and his mother was arrested. That summer the students of Hogwarts went home with heavy hearts as they remembered all those they had lost.
