A/N: Hey! This is my first fic on this account. I have written HP fanfic before, but it hasn't been really good because I haven't put to much effort into it. So I hope you enjoy this story, one that I have put effort into.
Summary: Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Draco and Luna have started hanging out together after defeating Lord Voldemort. They are inseparable now and are always spending time together, even though they are in different houses. But when love starts to bloom, things start to get very amusing...and very confusing. Harry/Luna, Draco/Ginny and Ron/Hermione. A Seventh Year Fic

Chapter 1
The sound of the telly in the squeaky clean kitchen of Number Four Privet Drive could be heard over the faint running water that was being used to clean the dishes. A skinny seventeen-year-old boy with jet-black hair and green eyes stood at the sink, doing the task his aunt had assigned him. Two incredibly large people, one young and one middle aged, were occupying two chairs (although by the looks of it, they needed more) at the kitchen table. A thin, bony blonde woman by the name of Petunia Dursely was peering out of the window, watching every car pass suspiciously.
The house was uncharacteristically quiet. Vernon Dursely, although he was watching the telly, seemed to look a little agitated and expectant. Dudley Dursely was stuffing his face with his sixth helping of dinner, priggishly staring at the television screen. The boy named Harry Potter stood at the sink, doing the dishes like he had been told to, smiling at the quiet, agitated atmosphere around him.
Harry knew exactly what had brought this reaction upon the house. His relatives were probably afraid of being attacked again. Even though he had explained to them that the danger had passed forever, they chose not to believe him. Had they nothing to say to him for what he did for them? Didn't they know how to repay Harry for what he had done? Didn't they know how to react?
'They could have been kinder,' thought Harry 'or at least shown their appreciation in some way'
Harry thought back to the time last summer, when he had saved his so called 'family's' life. It had started off just like the present. A dark peaceful night...
FLASHBACK
Harry and the Durselys had set off for a moonlight picnic. After the food had been consumed, they began to play a quiet game of Monopoly. Harry had been included in their little outing, for the Durselys thought he might complain to the strange wizards of the Order who kept dropping in every week.
Dudley was about to make his move, when they heard a loud crack and suddenly, three hooded figures appeared as if from nowhere, right next to them. It was as Harry feared - The Dementors had come.
Harry took quick action and whipped out his wand. He always carried his wand and went nowhere without it. He pointed to the nearest Dementor who was swooping over his Aunt Petunia. "Expecto Patronum!" He screamed and a white stag erupted from his wand. The stag had forced the dementors to apparate back to where they came from.
FLASHBACK END
"You can go now, Harry"
Aunt Petunia's voice brought Harry back to reality and he put down the plate he was holding. Aunt Petunia gave him a small smile before drawing the curtains and settling down next to her husband and her son.
Harry exited the room and rushed up the stairs. Aunt Petunia had been the only Dursely who had managed to become a little kinder towards him since the 'Dementor Incident'. Perhaps it was because she was his mother's sister.
Harry lay down on his bed and began to think of all the things that had happened in his sixth year at Hogwarts. He sighed. At last, he felt happy. Sure, he had been happy before, but it was a kind of bitter happiness, where his heart had been experiencing two different feelings, one of happiness and one of fear, sorrow and anger over Voldemort. His first six years at Hogwarts had handed him with one adventure after another. Each year, Harry had been dangerously close to death and each year, he had made it through, each experience leaving him feeling worse.
But now all that was over. For Lord Voldemort had finally been vanquished
Harry smiled to himself. His life was finally going to be normal. He needed that. He thought back to the time when he and his friends had defeated Voldemort. They had taken the whole of the sixth year to come up with a spell to bring him down. And they had done it.
FLASHBACK
The school was in a state of chaos. Students were running everywhere. Some were badly wounded and most were running into the forbidden forest to take cover. Only a small group of students and a small group of teachers stood ready, with their wands pointed to the heart of the evil wizard. Voldemort stood smiling. It would take a lot more than ten wizards to bring him down. Especially since most of them weren't even fully qualified. The unexpected group of students stood in a circle :
Harry Potter, the-boy-who-lived, stood in the middle, radiating power enough to even rival Dumbledore's. Hermione Granger and Ron Weasly, always there in Harry's time of need. It was no surprise to see them there. They had saved the wizarding world on countless occasions. Ginny Weasly, the firery one. Voldemort smirked. She had been so easy to take over. It had been so easy to open the chamber of secrets again. Ginny scowled in response to his smirk. Luna Lovegood. A very unexpected heroine. Voldemort wondered if she had enough courage to cast an unforgivable and kill him. He found this amusing. But the last student had been the most unexpected of them all. Voldemort had thought he had been a supporter. He had thought that this Slytherin would have grown up to be a Death Eater just like his father. Yet, there he stood. Fighting alongside Harry Potter and Dumbledore. Draco Malfoy. His Hogwarts spy had failed him. He had been on Dumbledore's side all along. This angered Voldemort for he did not like to be fooled. He glared at Draco. Malfoy smirked back at him.
The teachers were going to be harder to overcome. Minerva McGonnagol, an able witch, Sirius Black, he was powerful and had overcome death before. Severus Snape, the traitor. A very powerful traitor. And Albus Dumbledore. The one wizard Voldemort was afraid of.
Voldemort's faithful Death Eaters had already been tackled. Some were dead and some had been thrown into Azkaban. Only Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Lestrange and McNair remained. Voldemort was counting on them. They were powerful and could do a lot of damage. They had already managed to cause a sufficient amount of havoc. But now was the real test. They had to finish off the remains of Dumbledores Army. Even Voldemort had to admit to himself, it was not an easy task.
"Tom" said Dumbledore "I suggest you come quietly. You are out numbered."
"I can see four adults on my side and four on yours" said Voldemort "Give it up. Hogwarts is mine now. You cannot repair the damage."
"Oh but we can" said Harry
"Shut your mouth you imbecile!" hissed Voldemort "You have failed to defeat me five times and your still so sure of yourself?"
"Actually," said Hermione "You failed. You failed to defeat Harry five times."
"You failed to defeat me" said Ginny
"You failed to see through me" said Draco
"You failed to see that I too was faithful to Dumbledore" said Snape
"But the biggest mistake you made, Tom was to underestimate your enemies"
Sirius and McGonnagol muttered something. Beside Voldemort, Bellatrix Lestrange and McNair had fallen to the ground. Only Lucius stood by his master, looking horrified at what he had just witnessed.
"Lucius! Get them!" Voldemort hissed.
But Lucius was looking at his son "Draco. How could you? How could you betray me?"
"Goodbye, dad" said Draco "Slipandro"
And Lucius had fallen to the ground.
Voldemort looked bewildered. Harry had never seen him like this before. It looked like the mighty Voldemort was falling. His Death Eaters had gone. They had deserted him in his hour of need. They had fallen without a fight.
"The Draught of Living Death" said Snape. "They'll be asleep forever"
"We made it into a spell. We've been working on it for a year now" Ron piped up.
"You see, we aren't murderers like you are" said Harry.
"Goodnight, Tom" said Dumbledore.
At the same time, ten voice's recited "Slipandro" and Voldemort fell. Without a fight, Voldemort had fallen. He was gone and he would never bother the wizarding world again. It had been a tough year for them all. They had worked to find a worthy spell and they had done it. Voldemort was gone...forever.
FLASHBACK END
Harry was still smiling to himself as he thought back. Now that Voldemort had gone, the memories of the sixth year made him smile. The way he felt when he found out that Draco Malfoy was against his father and was on Dumbledores side all along. It had been hard to believe at first, But Draco had been the one to finally find the right potion, and it had been the other unexpected person, Luna, who had managed to convert the potion into a spell. Harry thought about the day Dumbledore had called the six students Sirius's house. It had been so confusing back then...
FLASHBACK
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were waiting in the living room. What was the special meeting all about? Had Voldemort struck again? Harry hoped not. It was only the second month of the summer. It was too soon. But after the Dementor attack on the Durselys last month, things seemed a little shaky.
At last, when the four children and Mrs Weasly who was fussing over them like a mother hen, began to grow impatient. Dumbledore arrived. But he had brought two unexpected guests along with him.
"Malfoy! What are you doing here?" Ron asked
"Luna?" Harry said
"Hello Harry" said Luna with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"Professor! What's Malfoy doing here?" asked Ron once again
"Calm down, Mr Weasly. He's here to help" Dumbledore replied.
"I'm here to help too" said Luna as she sat down at the kitchen table. Mrs Weasly immediately offered her a cookie. Luna smiled and took it. Mrs Weasly smiled back and left the room. Dumbledore had wanted to talk to the children alone.
"Now" said Dumbledore, sitting down next to Luna. "I must ask you all to pay attention. I have picked the six of you for these two tasks. Very important tasks they are"
The six children looked at him. His eyes radiated kindness, but power as well. He was old, they knew, but he was strong. Very strong.
"The first task" he continued "Is to bring Sirius back"
Hermione gasped. Harry dropped the cookie he was holding. Draco looked puzzled and Ron and Ginny looked sad. Only Luna looked at Dumbledore with interest and attention.
"Sirius is in a loom. A place between our world and the next. Dead people often visit this loom, and the living who have witnessed death can often hear them through the veil." Said Dumbledore.
He now had everyone's attention. They wanted to know what he was getting at.
"But Sirius did not die. He was merely pushed into the veil, unable to get out. He is stuck in the loom, although he is alive. He is trapped. He cannot get out. We must get him out."
The six teenagers sat in silence, trying to take in what their headmaster was telling them. It all seemed surreal.
Hermione was the first to speak.
"But Professor, Why didn't you tell us before?"
"I didn't know" said Dumbledore. "This information has just recently come to my notice"
"How do we do it?" asked Harry
Dumbledore regarded Harry. Sirius's death had affected him badly. Harry looked back at Dumbledore with a determined gaze.
"That" said Dumbledore "Is the most important segment of all"
FLASHBACK END
Harry was sleepy now. He took off his glasses and put them on his bedside table. He turned out the lights and went to sleep. Something of the memories of reviving Sirius slipped into his dreams, and he relived the memory all over again.
End of Chapter
A/N: Okay. Next time, you'll see Harry's dream and how they pulled Sirius out of the veil.
