The war is finally over, but everywhere I look I can see the effect it has had on people.

Kids that have had to grow up to fast. What was once full of childhood innocence is now filled with maturity that rightfully belongs to a person twice their age. But that not all many people have lost their lives to this war. Some people are still wearing black.

Even though you can see all of this, if I look closely I can see that people are finally starting to heal.

Places that were destroyed are now remodelled. People are helping others out. Now that Voldermort has finally been destroyed most of the blood purity has been destroyed with it.

Those that still believe in blood purity against muggle borns are either locked up in Azkaban as they are death eaters, or have learned to keep their mouths shut.

But I think the most shocking thing that has happened since the war is that people found out some startling truths.

Everybody that was in the order new of Snape's work as being a spy for Voldermort, so it wasn't that shocking when everybody found out that he was actually a hero. But the most shocking thing that happened was when Harry defended the Malfoys in their hearing.

Well not all the Malfoys but mainly Draco and his mother. Turns out that Mrs Malfoy had actually been place under the imperious curse for about 7 years, since rumour had it that the 'Dark lord' had returned, since the end of our first year. So Mrs Malfoy was released of all charges.

Draco however was questioned under the use of veritaserum, the most powerful truth potion that was created. Turns out that when Voldermort ordered Draco to kill Dumbledore he firstly refused, then he was crucio'd till he couldn't move and threatened that if he didn't complete the task the Voldermort will have is death eaters beat and rape his mother in front of his eyes until he decide to grow bored of it and just killed her, then he would torture Draco himself and leave him to die in the dungeon. So Draco had no choice but to complete the task, however after his second attempt failed and ended up other people getting hurt he decide to go to Dumbledore himself and explain everything that he was ordered to do. Dumbledore than explained that he couldn't do anything directly about his mother as she was under the influence of the imperio curse, but he could help Draco, Dumbledore than told Draco to carry on fixing the cabinet and that everything will be taken care of.

Malfoy Sr. however was not as lucky, even though he eventually switched sides for the final battle he was still set to Azkaban for previous crimes that he had committed however his time was lessened has he pled guilty on everything he was convicted with and had sent sincere apology to everyone he had cause harm to.

Some more startling truths are some of the relationships that had come about after the war. The most shocking relationship that has happened would be Ron and Lavender as everyone had assumed that Ron and I would become a couple however we are more suited being friends/siblings. We tried dating once straight after the war but it didn't work out well.

What was also surprising was that Harry and Ginny didn't get together, turns out that after all that longing for each other they didn't work out as well as they expected. Also the fact that they basically grew up together they became more like siblings. And they couldn't really get to anything romantic as it just felt too weird.

Neville and Luna got together as well, now that relationship isn't so much as weird, it's just the fact that they are more affectionate then anyone wold of believed as they are normally quiet and shy people.

Me, Ginny and Harry are all still single, not through lack of offers though, just that we all want to focus on finishing school first as everyone was invited back to Hogwarts to finish our final year and we all agreed.

In Hogwarts all students that were in their seventh year last year and wish to retake/complete their final year are allowed to come back and will join the current seventh years, as this will mean twice as many students in the seventh year it was decided that 2 sets of head boys and girls will be assigned. I was lucky and had received one of those positions and so did Ginny, this means that we get to share a common room which we are really excited about, however it is really annoying not knowing who the head boys are, I have a feeling it could be between 3 boys and Ginny agrees with. Now you may be wondering who and they are, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott, Slytherins Sex God
