Pre-introduction:
This story takes place during their seventh year at Hogworts, after the war. It is told during the present time with flashbacks to show Draco and Hermione's evolution. In this story Ron and Hermione never kissed in the Chamber of Secrets and they did not hold hands. Blaise Zabini is Bi, but mostly gay. I know that he wasn't in the stories, but honestly who was besides Dumbledore? It's a fanfic for a reason. Him being Bi will spice it up. Gregory Goyle goes to a different school for his seventh year. I own no characters from the Harry Potter series, all settings, characters, and background history belong to J.K. Rowling. Any ideas and stories that I have written have come from the insperation of her work. The flashbacks have things that are the same as in the books. All things recognizable belong to J.K Rowling. I may have changed the people, beginning, middle part or created a new ending to the flashbacks so they start or end how I wish they had in the series. I am not making money from this and again anything recognizable belongs to J.K Rowling. I am not trying to copy her, I'm just trying to use what she gave add on and make a new look at it. Please leave constructive reviews. This is my first fic, but I'm really happy with how it is going.
Introduction:
After the war, the school was rebuilt. Students were to attend their seventh year and take Newts, so they could become the professions of their choice. Many people died during the war including George Weasley, Remus Lupin, Tonks, and Vincent Crabbe. Remus and Tonks's child went to Bill andFleur where they would be taking care of him till Harry could. Harry was the godfather.
Ginny and Harry as well as Luna and Neville are now officially together. Hermione and Ron are still a bit upset with each other and are currently not dating.
Draco had stayed with his mom while the reconstruction of Hogwarts took place. Hermione, Ron, and Harry did what they could during the reconstruction. After a month, they left unable to stay and keep having flashbacks. Many of the followers of Voldemort were put in Azkaban, after it too was rebuilt. The dementors were put back into line and were working their original job at Azkaban. The Ministry of Magic got a new minister. It had to adjust back to its original purpose and duties. Professor McGonagell stepped up to becoming Headmistress of Hogwarts.
Harry stayed at Ron's house. He shared a room with Ginny. It did not faze Ron or his family anymore. They became engaged and were planning on getting married the summer after Harry graduated. Ginny would only have one year of school left once Harry graduated. They could then start a life together. Harry would become and Auor and Ginny a mother.
Hermione went back to her house and restored her parents' memory. It was very painful. She tried to explain everything that had happened, why she had taken the memories, and so much more. There were gaps and holes in her explanation, that created her first distance she had ever had with her parents.
Everyone was hurt and effected by the war. Nobody was the same person that had entered. The war had opened hearts and eyes. As well as, taking away parts of people's heart and changing them forever.
Draco spent the time of recontruction trying to take care of his mother. The mother he had taken for granted, the one who had protected him in so many ways. She had told him about hearing Harry's heart in the forest and their small conversation. She tried to explain to Draco how Harry had saved them. That they were in debt to him. Draco was glad the war was over. He had been used for the Dark Lord's benefit. He had hurt so many people and not stopped others from harming his peers, because he was a coward. It was the most painful thing he had ever endured, watching Bellatrix torture Hermione. She called her a Muddblood and much worse. Bellatrix had marked her a Muddblood forever. It had brought him to tears. He had left the room, unable to handle watching it any longer. He was a coward. It was better that he had not stopped Bellatrix. If he had she would have killed Hermione and him for sure. At least that is what he told himself. So when he got his letter inviting him back to Hogwarts to finish his last year, he prayed he could make up for his past and be given a second chance.
Hermione left quickly, packing her things for school. This would be a good distraction from all the nightmares and flashbacks she had been experiencing. It would also be a good amount of time for her parents to process all that she had told them. The letter could not have come fast enough.
Harry and Ginny stayed together at all times. They had been helping each other through the recovery from the pain that came with the war. They were happy they did not have to be afraid at Hogwarts anymore. They honestly missed the elves cooking. Since Molly lost George, her cooking had not been as good as it once was. She had promised them the best wedding cake there ever could be, though.
Neville and Luna had spent the time in an apartment for themselves. They could not go home since both of their parents were at Mongol's Mental Hospital. They became serious during the short time together after the war. They knew there was nobody else meant for them. Neville would become a professor or accompany Luna on her excavations for magical creatures and plants. They could buy a house and have children. For the moment though, they were happy to be headed back to Hogwarts for the last time.
