alright guys, so this is my very first fanfic. I hope you enjoy it.

Harry woke up. It took him a few moments to realize where he was, and then he remembered- he won the battle, Riddle was dead and he was alive. He looked around him at the room he was in; Gryffindor colors surrounded the beds around the room. He saw Ron sleeping in the bed across from his. He was in the boys dormitories. A warm comfortable feeling washed over him. He was safe.

But boy was he wrong. Before he knew what was happening he was hit with a pillow over the head, when the mysterious attacker lifted the pillow from his head and he saw a mess of red locks and realized it was Ginny.

"You and Ron have been sleeping for so long Hermione and I decided that we should wake you tow up in a creative way." As she said that Harry heard a muffled "Oi!" from the bed across from his and figured Hermione had probably just hit Ron with a pillow as well. Ginny smiled at him, "well, aren't you going to say something?" she said.

He pretended to be thinking for a second, "you didn't really think you could get away with it did you?." And with those words he got up and began tickling her as she burst out laughing wildly.

"Stop!" she gasped.

"Say the magic words" he said.

"Please?"

"Wrong"

"I'll hex you!"

"There it is"

"You did it Harry, you won"

"does this mean what I think it means?"

She looked at him for a second and then suddenly leaned in and kissed him on the lips.

"I'll take that as a yes" he smiled and then suddenly asked "Do you want to go for a walk?"

"Sure," she said "I'll wait outside for you"

He got dressed and they went outside. They began walking around the lake. When they reached a tree Harry sat down and motioned for Ginny to sit next to him. He looked at her, she was looking at the lake, her hair fell down her back in long, soft curls. She was even more beautiful now; it took him a while to understand what changed. Looking around at the people on the grounds he realized that it changed in all of them. The look of fear was gone. Everyone was just so peaceful. That was when he started realizing that it happened because of him.

Ron and Hermione were sitting on the common room floor talking when Harry and Ginny walked in, holding hands. Ron jumped up, ready for a fight.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Ron asked with a look of horror on his face.

"Breathing?" Ginny suggested,

"Walking?" Harry joined in

"I mean the hand thingy" Ron explained

"Ronald, honestly, can't you see that they're back together?"

"what?"

"who?"

"when?"

"how?"

"why?"

"gee, thanks for that last one Ron" said Ginny

"Percy, yes we are back together. Charlie Ginny and I are the ones back together. Bill, we just talked so it's been official for about ten minutes. And George, like I said, we "just talked." Harry said.

"oh my dears, look at you, you're all so thin!" exclaimed as she burst into the room and hugged the trio.

"mum… need… air…"

"oh yes dear, of course" she said while letting go."

"Kids, I need to speak with you for a moment" mr. Weasley said and they all quieted down." There are going to be some changes," he started "Kingsley Shacklebolt will be our new minister of magic" around of applause followed this statement "Harry, Ron and Hermione, you don't have to come back next year, the ministry is willing to give you any job that you would like. Ginny, however, has to return and finish her education."

"But dad that's so unfair-" Ginny started

"Ginny, I think I want to complete my education too" said Hermione " so I'll be here and we can be in the same year like we always wanted to."

The entire Weasley clan stared at her in surprise while George gave a loud cough that sounded a lot like "nerd".
