A/N: All right, this is a one time fic, no chapters, not continuing, etc. I noticed that nobody really has any happy fics about life after Hogwarts for everyone's favorite trio; those after-Hogwarts fics mostly seem so depressing. Now, I'm always up for a nice, sad, tear-jerking fic, I love 'em to death, but I don't like it when the three get hurt. So I just decided to write a nice, short, depression-free fic. And yeah, I'll probably get a zillion flames, but that's life... And about the shippings: I didn't know what to put; if you don't like them then I suppose you'll just have to put up with it.
Disclaimer: I don't own them. You wouldn't want to read about them if I did.

Some Things
~*~
There are some things in life I will never understand.
How something that seemed so messed up and hopeless could turn into the most wonderful thing in the world is one of them.
Seventh year for them was very dark. Not just for them, all of us. But hardest for them. No one was sure who to trust anymore, Lord Voldemort was at the height of his power, and it was looking quite as though nothing would ever be well again. There were few people who knew what was going to happen within the next five minutes, and even fewer who had hope.
It was Harry, Ron and Hermione who saved us. They all defeated the Dark Lord, together, helping each other. I'm not sure exactly how they did it, and I still wonder how in the world they kept themselves alive.
Ron and Hermione married. They even have a son now, complete with the traditional Weasley hair. We all saw it coming. It was so predictable. They have a lovely house, on the outskirts of London, and they both work for the ministry. And they argue a lot, about silly little things too, but after all, it is Ron and Hermione.
Harry became an auror, naturally. He met a girl, too, at the ministry, and they're expecting their first child any day now. He's so happy. About everything. And he deserves it.
Things are so peaceful now that I forget sometimes how cruel the world can be. Oh, there'll always be some evil in the world; without the dark side, the light would have no reason to fight, and thus grow weary and waver, and then there would be nothing left of the world but gray dreariness. And things are certainly not perfect, but who can expect such a thing?
Even Draco Malfoy gets a happy ending. He hasn't really changed much, and he's still openly hostile to any and all Gryffindor graduates, but he's more tolerable now, not so harsh and cold. Working in the ministry as well, alongside Harry, as an auror. Go figure.
Everything has seemed to turn out for the best, and some things haven't changed at all. Hermione is still a bit of a know-it-all, and Ron can be much of an insensitive git sometimes, while Harry floats between being the mediator and the husband.
There was one point when I thought that everything was completely ruined and that the sole reason any of us were put on this earth was for pure amusement in our suffering. It is so very easy to fall into the never-ending web of despair. God willing, someone will be there to help pull you out if you happen to be sucked in.
I have many questions. I know that most of them will never be answered, not in my lifetime, not in anyone else's. I don't mind.
There are some things I don't need to understand.

A/N: Can you guess who the narrator is? la la la la la..... well, read an review, tell me how I did, whether or not you think it sucked, but include a reason when you flame me.... yeah... that's all.
