The Death Eaters were gone, Lord Voldemort body was in six sealed glass jars under very heavy guard while it was decided what was to be done with it. Plans were being made to rebuild the Ministry it had self destructed when the Death Eaters over ran it during the war.
A week after the Battle of the Citadel Professor McGonagall was back to Hogwarts. She stopped at the gates, just beyond it was a vast lake. She tapped the gates three times with here wand and it opened. As soon as she stepped into the water it began to recede. By the time she got back to the Great Doors the water was back to normal and the castle was rebuilt. She tapped the doors as she did the gates and as they opened she was meet by a joy full Peeves
"Magnificent" he said pumping her hand "Simply inspired, the way the walls fell and the water rose, poetry, sheer poetry greatest joke ever played" He gushed.
"Peeves" she said
"Yes Professor?" he asked
"Shut up"she said
"Yes Professor." he floated of muttering something about poetry.
She walked up the stairs to her office and starting writing letters there was a lot of work to be done before September 1st.
