So, you might be wondering what happened after the Battle of Hogwarts. I am here to tell you.
Right after the battle in 1998, everyone was free to go home. No end of the year exams. No check out. You could just leave. All the remaining death eaters were caught and locked up in Azkaban prison. The only death eater family pardoned, was the Malfoy family.
The Weasleys, Hermione, and Harry all went back to the Burrow. A week after the battle they held Fred's funeral. Almost everyone from Hogwarts came, from the teachers to the students. George even happened to see Draco lurking in the shadows. It was a very sad event. Ginny wouldn't talk to Harry, or anyone except her mother. Hermione was the only one that could get a word out of Ron. George didn't talk for a full two months. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were heartbroken and devastated, but they continued on, trying to please all the children.
By the end of the summer holiday things were almost normal again. The family took a trip to Diagon Ally. George reopened his shop. Percy helped him a little and so did Ron. Ginny and Hermione, who decided to go back and finish her 7th year at Hogwarts, got all the supplies they needed for school.
"I wonder what it will be like. I wonder if they've got it all built up again?" Ginny asked Harry. She was still pretty shaken from the death of her brother, but was talking again. As a present, Harry bought her a brand new broomstick, the Firebolt 3000. She was very pleased with it.
"Ginny, that school is more magical than you could ever dream of. It will be all repaired. Just a swish and flick," Harry said, smiling. Ron and Hermione laughed at this. After the long day they all went back to the Burrow. George and Percy were currently staying with them. With six children, if you could all them children, staying in the house again Mrs. Weasley felt some joy.
"Ginny, get up, time to go to Hogwarts," it was now Harry who woke her up everyday. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down upon the mattress. He struggled, trying to get away. Unfortunatly, Ginny won, they lay in bed until it was 10 o' clock. Finally, Mrs. Weasley came, beating down the door.
"Get up! Ten! Get up!" she was screaming, just then the ghoul in the attic started groaning so loud, you could hear it in Ginny's room. Ginny sighed, rolled over and said,
"Yes mum." Then she got up, got dressed, and hand in hand they went downstairs. Everything was packed in the girls' trunks. And at 10:40 everyone excluding George, Percy, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, held hands. One-Two-Three. Pop.
They were in an empty room at the King's Cross Station. They ran out of the door and found the platform between 9 and 10. First, Ginny and Harry ran through, then Ron and Hermione. Once on platform 9¾ they walked down to the back of the train. Luna was getting on near the back too.
"Hello Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione," she said, in the same soft, dreamy voice. Luna, Ginny, and Hermione boarded, tears flowing down their cheeks.
"Good-bye!" Ginny said, waving. The train was beginning to move, but Hermione jumped of and ran to Ron's arms. They hugged. Finally, before leaving, she kissed him sweetly.
"Bloody hell, I'm going to miss that," he said. Hermione just rolled her eyes. She ran and hopped on the quick moving train. The three girls waved as they rounded the corner and vanished from sight. "It feels weird not going back. I mean, I'm glad that we don't have to worry about exams, but…"
Harry understood what he meant. But he knew that he didn't need to go back, he knew everything he needed to. So all he did was smile at Ron. Then they turned and walked back the little room to apperate back to the Burrow.
