Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, but I do own the story line of this story. And the sequal I have planned.

Chapter 1: The Aftermath

Harry awoke that morning feeling refreshed. He looked around the room he and Ron share in the Burrow and saw that Ron was still sleeping. When Harry got dressed, he went downstairs. When he got into the kitchen, no one was there. He looked up at the clock, with the names and pictures on it and saw that Mr. Weasly was at work, and Mrs. Weasly was at Diagon Alley. There was a 2 new nameplates up there, one read 'Harry Potter' and the other one read 'Hermoine Granger'.

Harry smiled at this, when he remembered that Mrs. Weasly had added that when him, ron and Hermoine dissapeared looking for the Horcruxes, the peices of Voldemorts soul. Thinking about Voldemort made Harry think about what had happened a week before.

----Flash back----

It was the final battle with Voldemort. And many were dead on both sides, and many more were wounded. Both of Voldemorts giants were dead, most of his death eaters were dead or wounded. And there were two battles going on, Voldemort was dueling Mcgonagoll, Slughorn and Kingsly, and Bellatrix was dueling Ginny, Luna and Hermoine. Harry was watching the fighting going on, when a killing curse from bellatrix almost hit Ginny, it passed by her so close that Ginny missed death by a inch. It was then that Harry had decided to run toward the battle with bellatrix when someone pushed past him.

It was Mrs. Weasly, she had run towards the battle and yelled at the girls to stay back. Harry knew why she was acting this way. She had already lost her brothers to this woman, she had lost Fred to this war, she wasn't going to lose her daughter now too. When people started coming toward the battle to help, she yelled, "Stand back she is mine!" Harry for the first time ever, was scared for Bellatrix, in all the times he had seen Mrs. Weasly angry, he had never seen her this mad.

When Bellatrix started taunting Mrs. Weasly and her children. Harry knew what was coming. A green jet of light shot out of Mrs. Weasly wand and hit Bellatrix in the chest over her heart. Bellatrix Lestrange fell to the ground, dead. Everyone who had ever lost someone to her, was now cheering because of it.

But then a cry that was unhuman was heard. And Harry looked up as Mcgonagoll, Slughorn and Kingsly were flung through the air by the sheer power of Voldemorts wand. And he knew it was time for the final showdown between him and Voldemort. But before that he put up a sheild charm between Voldemort and Mrs. Weasly, and then he took off his invisibility cloak.

Thats when there was a uproar of cheers, and Harry looked over at Ron, Hermoine and Ginny. When he laid his eyes on Ginny, she had tears of happiness in her eyes. He smiled at her and then ran up to Voldemort.

"Ah Potter, so you are still alive. That won't be for long. Since now I have the elder wand, the wand of destiny, the deathstick." Voldemort said, jeering.

"Ah yes about that Tom, you don't have the wand. Well you do but you are not the master of it." Harry said.

"What are you on about Potter?" Voldemort demanded.

"I mean that you weren't the one who killed Dumbledore. Snape was." Harry said.

"But I killed Severus Snape three hours ago. Which would make me the master of the elder wand." Voldemort said.

"Yes but Dumbledore wasn't holding the wand when he was killed he was disarmed, before Snape killed him." Harry said.

"What are you saying, Potter?" Voldemort demanded.

"I am saying that the master of the elder wand, was...Draco Malfoy," Harry said.

"Then it doesn't matter because neither us are the master of this wand. So that means I can kill you!" Voldemort says laughing.

"No you can't, if you could kill me you would have been able to already. You weren't able to kill me earlier. And you can't now. Especially seeing how I took away control of the elder wand from Draco Malfoy, 3 weeks ago. The true master of the elder wand is me!" Harry said.

"Prove it!" Voldemort says raising the elder wand at Harry.

"I will!" Harry yelled raising Malfoy's wand at Voldemort.

"Avada Kedabra!" Voldemort yelled.

"Expelliarmus!" Harry yelled.

The spells hit but this time instead of connecting they bounced off each other Voldemorts spell heading toward Voldemort and Harrys going somewhere else.

Harry looked in time to see the spell hit Voldemort straight in the chest. He looked at Harry with wide eyes as he crumpled to the floor.

Lord Voldemort was dead. Killed by his own killing curse.

That was when the cheers started. And Ron, Hermoine and Ginny were the first ones to get to him. When Ginny came up to him. She kissed him full on the lips. Tears glistening down her face. When they stopped they noticed everyone was still cheering and surrounding the two. Ron and Hermoine were smiling and cheering for them also. Mrs. Weasly was crying, for she had avenged her sons and Fred. And Harry had finnaly avenged everyone who was close to him who had been killed by Voldemort. Harry knew his parents would be proud of him; he also knew this was the beginning of his new life.

----End Flashback----

That had been a week ago. They had had the funerals for everyone 3 days afterward. Among the people who were dead, were Lavender Brown, Colin Creevy, Fred Weasly, Professor Sinistra, Profressor Trelawny, Remus Lupin and Tonks Lupin, Dobby the house elf, Harrys owl Hedwig, Mad-Eye Moody, Winky the house elf. And many others had died during this war.

He and Ginny had gotten back together the night of the final battle and he couldn't be happier. Mcgonagol said that school would reopen but they would be sent word on the first day. She said most likely it would still be the 1st of September but there was no guarantee. Harry planned on going there for his 7th year. He and Ginny would finish their last year at Hogwarts together. They would also finish with Ron and Hermoine.

Today was also the first date that he would be taking Ginny on. Harry and her were just going on a picnic out on the grounds by the lake at the Burrow. Harry wanted to take her out to do more then that but the wizarding world was still rebuilding since voldemort had died. All the death eaters had been caught because they were either at the ministry or the battle itself. Most of them were killed. Some were captured. The Malfoys were let go. Because if it wasn't for them Harry would have never made it out of the forest. So Harry made sure they were let go of all charges. This brought Harry to think about another memory after the battle.

----Flashback----

Everyone was gathering in the great hall. No one was sorted by house everyone was united now. But Harry was relaxing with Ginny's head on his shoulder. When Lucius Malfoy and his wife and son came up to him.

"Harry can we talk to you please?" Lucius asked.

"Ya sure, Ginny I will be right back," Harry said giving her hand a slight squeeze.

Harry followed Lucius, Narcissa and Draco out of the Great Hall. They went outside onto the grounds and stood by the lake, looking out at it.

"Harry we want to thank you, while V-Voldemort was living at our house. We started regretting serving him. But we only did it to protect Draco. He is the biggest part of our lives," Lucius said.

"Ya I can understand that. I am sorry for all the trouble you guys have had to go through this year. I am glad this whole thing is over. I might actually get a normal year at school this year. I found out since I never got to have my 7th year. I could take my 7th year this year coming up. I think you can also Draco," Harry said looking at the three.

"I would like to start my 7th year. And Harry, I want to start out on better terms with you this time. You, Ron, Hermoine and Ginny. I know you love her. You should tell her. Like I told Pansy before the battle started and I sent her to safety," Draco said.

"I knew you two liked each other. I guess lots of good things have come out of this. I have gotten back together with Ginny, Ron and Hermoine finally got together and you and Pansy are together now. Love will conquer all. Was the one thing Dumbledore taught me before he...died," Harry said.

"Ya I remember him saying that one time before a feast," Draco said.

"Harry!" They all turned around to see Ron, Hermoine and Ginny running down the steps coming to them. They also saw Pansy at the doors there staring right at Draco before running to him.

----End Flashback----

There were old relationships restarted during the war, and new ones also. Many were ended also, never to be restarted again. Like Remus and Tonks. They would never get to see their son Teddy grow up. They would never be able to see him get his letter to Hogwarts. But Harry was going to make sure that Teddy had a way better life then he did when he was growing up. He was going to make sure no one he knew had to live a life like he did with the Dursleys.

Just then he heard footsteps coming down the stairs, he turned around and saw that it was Ginny. She smiled brightly when she saw him and kissed him on the lips when she came up to him. Just then they heard someone clearing their throat behind them. They both turned and saw that it was Mr. Weasly.

"You know I am happy you two are together. But I don't want to have to walk down to that before I have coffee," He said chuckling.

"Good morning, dad," Harry said. Harry had started calling Mr. and Mrs. Weasly mom and dad when the battle ended. After all they were really the only parents he ever had. And they loved him deeply like he was one of their own children. And he loved them like they were his parents.

"Hi dad," Ginny said brightly, still holding onto harry. When he had his back turned she kissed him again on the lips.

"Oy! I don't need to see my sister and my best friend snogging," Ron said, while he and Hermoine came in holding hands.

"Oh, like I enjoyed watching you and Hermoine snogging up in the 2nd floor corridor, during the last bat..tle," Harry said as he remembered what happened on that night to the Weasly family. When that same corridor was destroyed and Fred Weasly was crushed under the debris, with a bit of a smile still on his face still when he had died.

"Ya but Harry. That was probably the best thing that happened to us. I mean we got together finnaly. Me and Ron have liked each other for the longest time, just wouldn't admit it," Hermoine said slyly looking at Harry knowingly. "What about you and Ginny. I mean I saw you two eyeing each other in 6th year. Ron noticed this too and you know how slow he is with this kinda stuff. No offense Ron," Hermoine said, looking over at Ron who looked like he was going to say something.

When Mrs. Weasly came down. She started cooking breakfast for everyone. Harry and Ginny were outside talking about what they were going to do today, when a owl came to them with a letter in its beak.

It was a snowy white owl that looked like hedwig, but it was smaller. It flew right to Harry and deposited the letter in his lap and it landed on his shoulder. The letter had the Hogwarts seal on it. When he opened it a letter fell out. The letter was from Professor Mcgonagoll.

They didn't notice that everyone else had come out.

"What does the letter say, Harry dear?" Mrs Weasly asked.

Harry read the letter aloud:

Dear Harry:

I have sent yours and Mr. weasly, Ms. Granger and Ms. Weasly school letters via this owl. You might notice that it looks like Hedwig. Its because it is one of Hedwigs offspring. Hedwig had a baby owl during you 5th year a Hogwarts. We never thought to tell you about it because of your relatives, and we know how they feel about owls. But now that you live with the Weaslys, we figured it would be best for you to have a new owl, since Hedwig died. Its just too bad she won't ever know her mother. But we know you will take good care of her. She is just as good at finding people as Hedwig is. Her name is Snalder. She will be a great owl. Just like Hedwig was.

Signed

Professor Minerva Mcgonagoll

Headmistress of Hogwarts.

P.S.: Just thought you ought to know that Hagrid has been made of head of Gryfindor house.

"So you are Hedwigs offspring then? I didn't know she had any babies while we were at Hogwarts," Harry inquired to the her. She hooted softly as she nibbled Harry on the ear. Harry just sat there with her on his shoulder.

"So the school letters are in there then Harry?" Mrs. Weasly asked.

"Ya, here they are," Harry said as he handed them to Mrs. Weasly who opened up Harrys and gasped.

"Whats wrong mom?" Harry asked.

"You..You've been made Head Boy!" Mrs. Weasly exclaimed.

"What!" Harry exclaimed. Snalder took flight now and landed on Ginnys shoulder, hooting indignently. Harry got up and checked to make sure. Sure enough there was the Head Boy badge, "Your right I am head boy," Harry said more calmly.

Ginny took her letter from her mom also. So did Ron and Hermoine. Just then there was a squealing noise that came from Ginny.

"I am Head Girl!" Ginny exclaimed. There was a instant reaction to that also as Snalder took flight and this time landed on Hermoines shoulder. Hooting indignently at Ginny now too.

"I noticed one thing about this owl already. She only likes Harry and the Girls." Ron said.

"Oh be quiet Ron. This is great Ginny! You and Harry are both Head Boy and Head Girl. Just like Harrys parents," Hermoine said.

"Thats right! My parents were Head Boy and Head Girl. I mean I wasn't a prefect but Ginny was. Same as my parents my dad wasn't a prefect but my mom was. I wonder if there is a secret motive behind this." Harry inquired.

"You know its like a conspiracy. Your parents didn't start liking each other until 7th year. But I had liked you since the begining. And it took you unil 6th year to like me. Another thing is is your parents married after they got out of school. I wonder if thats going to happen to us, Harry?" Ginny said.

This was giving Harry more to think about. Its like people who became head boy and head girl became married after they got out of school, only if they are in the same house though. Because it hadn't happened to Percy and Penelope Clearwater. Maybe he and Ginny were destined to be married. He knew he wanted to be with Ginny. He never thought about being married, because he never thought he would ever defeat voldemort.

"So what does everyone have planned for today?" Mrs Weasly asked.

"Well me and Ron are going to go track down my parents. So we are going to be gone for a while. Maybe a week at most." Hermoine said.

"Thats great you two. I hope everything goes well for you dear. How about you and Ginny, Harry dear?" Mrs. Weasly asked.

"Well me and Ginny are going to go on our first date today. Since the wizarding world is still in repair, I thought maybe we would go down to the lake, maybe go for a swim and we will also have a picnic while we are out there." Harry said.

"Thats good you two are going out on your first date. Come on breakfast is ready inside lets all go in now." Mrs Weasly said as everyone followed her in and they sat down to eat.

When they were done eating. Ron and Hermoine got up.

"Well its time for us to go. We will be back as soon as we can." Ron said.

"Okay good luck you two. So are you two going to apparate there?" Mrs. Weasly asked.

"Yes we are. Its going to be our first time doing long distance apparition, thats why Harry is having Kreacher help us. House elves can apparate anywhere they want, with no problems." Hermoine said.

So when they left with Kreacher Harry and Ginny got up.

"Well, dad we are ready to go." Harry said.

"Ah, yes lets go." Mr. Weasly said.

Today Harry and Ginny were both going to get their apparition test done. So they could apparate legally now.

"Bye mom, see ya soon." Ginny said.

"Bye Ginny, bye Harry." Mrs. Weasly said.

And with that Mr. Weasly apparated Ginny and Harry to the ministry.

End of chapter 1.

Note: I know this is a long chapter. But I will be working on this and my A New Begiing fanfic. Next chapter will be Harry and Ginnys Date. And will they pass their apparition test? If you guys have better names for Harrys owl I will change it.
