A/N: Hey! This is the prologue. I know I already posted up the NOW chapter two as chapter one...but I changed my mind on chapter order. ALSO: THANK YOU for my reviews! 20, I can't believe, that only happened to me once, and that was in a really good dream!
Disclaimer: Hey, nothing is mine! Only the speech....which is lame...really really really really lame! I tried to make it good, but that wasn't working for me!
Your Night
By: Silver Ice
It was a warm June graduation day and Hogwarts was swarmed with the parents of seventh years. The graduation ceremony was soon to start and all the students were highly anticipating the beginning of their freedom. Hermione, as the top of her year, was responsible for a final speech and as she prepared to speak, everyone took a seat.
"Hello everyone, and welcome to this years graduation ceremony! I'm proud to be able to represent both my peers and I. I know I've worked hard to get here, and to know this is the last time I'll stand in Hogwarts as a student is...scary. I remember coming to Hogwarts like yesterday was the first day! It seems so unreal that seven wonderful years have flown past us so quickly. Amazing years, where we all grew and learned together. Times filled with joy, and times filled with horrors. Days with fights, and days with out any conflict at all. You name it, it happened. We had dances, and awful confrontations with Voldemort himself. None of the bad things stopped us though, and so here the graduating class of 1998 stands, together, united, and living in a world without the threat of Voldemort. No one really knows exactly what's in store for us now, but I'm willing to bet that every student in the graduating class will have wonderful lives. We've all been taught well, some of us mastering Charms while others have become successful in Defense Against the Dark Arts. However, it's time for us to go and live our own lives now. With that, I'd like to thank all the Professors and parents for helping us to get here, and I'd like to wish everyone the best of luck in the future!"
The crowd stood up and began to clap wildly as Hermione smiled and took a seat between Ron and Harry.
Ron was first to speak, "Hermione, that was amazing! I can't believe this though. It's really over! No more Snape or Draco."
"I know, I can't believe its' over...it really was just like yesterday we met on the train!" Hermione said with a sigh of disbelieve.
"It does...and now it's all over," Harry replied.
"No way, the fun is just about to start! Think, it's time for life. We have so much to do now. Imagine us at this time in three months," Ron exclaimed.
As he finished his sentence Dumbledore, who had been speaking, announced, "I present you, the newest addition into the adult wizarding world...the graduated class of 1998!"
The seventh years cheered wildly as they stood and threw their hats into the air. Ron was indeed right...life was just about to begin.
A/N: Okay, hey, like? Chapter 3 is on it's way being written. I'm not so sure if anyone still wants more...but I sure do hope so! PS: If you hate the speech, you're just like me, I don't like it at all!
