Chapter 1. Daily Prophet Reports

The War is Over!

It has been nearly four years since Lord Voldemort has come back in his attempts to kill Harry Potter, The boy who lived, and muggles as well as muggle-born witches and wizards. The Daily Prophet is pleased to announce that the war between Voldemort and the Wizarding World is finally over after seventeen years of living in fear Harry Potter with his two close friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley searched for four of seven horcruxes that the Dark Lord put a piece of himself in. They had succeeded in finding six out of the seven horcruxes when Lord Voldemort attempted to kill the trio once again. They did find the seventh horcrux, which ended in Harry Potter dying for he was the seventh and final horcrux.

Although this day is a day for rejoice, for we do not need to live in fear of Voldemort killing anymore Muggles or muggle-borns, it is also a day of great mourning as we bid farewell to the Boy Who lived as well as Ronald Weasley, Bill Weasley, Charlie Weasley, Fleur Weasley, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks-Lupin, Alastor Moody, Cho Chang, Luna Lovegood, and Neville Longbottom. Only a few witches and wizards who fought against Lord Voldemort and his death eaters remain.

The Daily Prophet gives its condolences for those killed in the war and we thank them and their families for their sacrifice to save our world.

Draco Malfoy was convicted "not guilty" of being a death eater along with Severus Snape. Both men have been set free from Azkaban and we welcome both back into the community with open arms. All of the rest of the death eaters in Azkaban have been given scheduled for 'the kiss' or are now dead. We no longer need to fear of Voldemort's followers.

Hermione rolled her eyes at the last paragraph and started to cry freely at the memory of all of her friends as she lay in her hospital bed in St. Mungo's "Why didn't I die along with them?" She asked aloud.

"Because me, Fred, and George still need you Hermione." A small voice said from the bed beside her.

"I know Ginny. I just miss them so much." Hermione sniffled and attempted to wipe her eyes so that they were free of tears.

"You and I both Hermione. Harry and I were going to get back together after the war and I lost three brothers and a sister-in-law." Ginny then started to cry. She had never loved anyone as much as she had love Harry.

Both girls were soon sitting on their separate beds sobbing. Fred and George walked into their room just then. "Hey." George said sitting on Hermione's bed while Fred sat on Ginny's. "The funerals are scheduled for Wednesday at three."

Hermione had never seen either of the Weasley twins look so solemn, she let more tears fall down her cheeks as she hugged George. "I miss them so much. So much." She said now bawling.

"I know." George said hugging her back as he let himself start to cry. It was the first time that he had allowed himself to cry since the end of the war. All four of them were now sobbing together.

"Why?" Hermione asked again.

"I don't know." Fred replied this time.

Hermione and George got off of Hermione's bed and went to Ginny's. Then all four of them just hugged one another and cried until Hermione heard a sound at the door. She turned to see who it was. "Great just what we need." Hermione said "Malfoy." More tears spilled onto her cheeks as she spoke

"You're not wanted here" Ginny said still sobbing.

"I know… "He said looking at Ginny."I just wanted to stop by and say that I am sorry that my father and aunt participated in killing your family and even Potter. I might have hated him, but I never would have wished him dead." Malfoy said and turned around and began to walk out. "I really am sorry. To all of you." He said and walked out.

Nobody but Hermione bothered to listen to him. He had actually sounded sincere. Hermione shrugged it off and sat on Ginny's bed. She felt as if she had cried all her tears out and that she couldn't cry anymore.

Molly and Arthur Weasley walked into the room as well. Molly's cheeks were tearstained and Arthur looked disheveled and as if he hadn't slept since the war had ended. Seeing her three of her four remaining children, Molly burst into tears. Arthur just held her hand and looked at the four teenagers sitting on the bed. "H-how are the four of you doing?" Arthur asked as he led his wife to the Hermione's bed because Ginny's was full of the teenagers.

Hermione, Ginny, Fred, and George all looked up at the sound of Arthur's voice and Ginny began to cry again "How are we going to go on? I don't know what I am going to do without all of them." She sobbed and Fred, George and Hermione leaned in to comfort the youngest Weasley. "I miss them so much. I can't stop thinking about them." Ginny cried into Fred's shoulder. Molly and Arthur came over and just stood beside Ginny's bed. Molly thrust her arms around Ginny and Fred and continued to cry.

Hermione felt a little strange. She was the only one not crying right now she had spent the last three days crying of course. She felt exhausted. Not only from the trauma of losing her two best friends, but from having to kill Voldemort herself.

::Flashback::

"Ron! I'm a horcrux, I'm a horcrux! You need to kill me!" Harry shouted at Ron. Ron just stood there and shook his head.

"Harry I can't you're my best mate! I can't kill you." Ron said as Lucius Malfoy shot the Imperious curse at him, Ron dogged the curse though.

"Ron! You must." Hermione said tears rushing down her cheeks. "There's no other way!" She screamed as Bellatrix Lastrange aimed her wand at Ron.

"RON!" Harry shouted "Do it now!"

Ron stood there shaking. "Harry…" he whispered "Please…"

"RON!!" Hermione yelled as Bellatrix killed Ron with the Avada Kedavra curse. Hermione knew it stupid to kneel down next to Ron, so she didn't and just continued to cry even harder.

"Hermione! It's up to you!" Harry said. Hermione looked down and nodded solemnly. Tears blurred her vision as she aimed her wand at her other best friend.

She couldn't bring herself to do it! She couldn't kill her best friend, but she knew she had to. "Harry I can't either. I'm sorry."

"The Wizarding World is depending on you Hermione!"

"I'll save the mudblood the trouble!" Lucius Malfoy yelled from behind "AVADA KEDAVRA!" He shouted meaning for the curse to hit Hermione, but it hit Harry instead. Hermione screamed and started to run away from Malfoy, tears streaming down her pale cheeks.

Hermione heard screams from behind her and turned around. Ginny was fighting off Bellatrix. Neville had just been killed by Goyle, Bill by Crabbe. She watched as one after another of her loved ones was killed. Ginny somehow managed to kill Bellatrix by deflecting Bellatrix's own spell back onto herself. Suddenly Voldemort appeared. Hermione gapped. Tears were still blurring her vision, but she could tell by the way the creature carried itself that it was Voldemort. Hermione starred at him her entire being loathing this-this thing. This monster that had made it so her two best friends in the entire world were dead. Hermione aimed her wand attempting to stop the tears, if only for a moment, just long enough to kill the thing that had made her life hell. She finally stopped crying enough to see Voldemort. He had his back turned. Hermione saw her chance. "SECTUMSEMPRA!" She screamed the Half-Blood Prince's spell and saw Voldemort's back arch and blood begin to spurt.

A bone rattling scream was heard. The death-eaters masks and cloaks fell off each of them as they fell to their knees. The only people that remained standing that Hermione could see were McGonagall, Arthur Weasley, Ginny Weasley, George Weasley, Fred Weasley, and herself, Hermione Granger the girl who had killed Lord Voldemort.
