Harry awoke very late the night after defeating Voldemort, he lay in bed for a long time thinking about everything. A lot happened yesterday and early that morning. They had gone to Gringotts, stole the cup and a dragon, flew said dragon, made their way to Hogwarts and then the real fun began.

Harry had to locate the diadem, almost killed by fiendfyre and destroyed the diadem in the process. Finally the battle got underway, running around like mad they fought for a long time. Finally Voldemort called for a one hour break and gave Harry the option to walk to his death which Harry never gave a thought to doing.

He had made his way to the Shrieking Shack, witnessed Voldemort sick Nagini on snape and finally got the last piece of the puzzle to destroying the Dark Lord.

He then did the unthinkable and walked past everyone he cared about that was still in his life, into the forbidden forest, summoned those from beyond with the help of his ring and walked straight to his death. He had met with what he felt was a very real Dumbledore, returned to life, and killed Voldemort for good this time.

The thing was, something was bothering him terribly as he lay there. He knew something was changing inside him, Harry felt it the moment he returned to himself after speaking with Dumbledore. Some strange need the he couldn't quite place yet.

After a very long time he finally managed to get up and slip into the shower. He still had so much to do, so many people to talk to.

A few minutes later he was heading down the stairs to the Gryffindor common room. He was surprised to find only 3 people in it. The 3 he wanted to see the most. Ron, Hermoine and Ginny were sitting on a couch looking thrilled to see him coming down. Ron and Hermoine made to slowly get up when a jet of red hair flew by them.

Harry was nearly knocked over as Ginny enveloped him in a crushing hug "Oh Harry, thank god you finally woke up. I, we were all very worried about you, are you ok"?

Harry looked in her eyes and felt the desire to snog her take hold. He smiled and without saying anything squeezed her hard and gave her the most intense kiss the two had ever shared.

After what seemed like an eternity he broke apart and glanced around. Hermoine was smiling brightly and Ron was bright red but saying nothing. He looked back at Ginny and said "Gin, you are so beautiful and yes I am fine". The three talked only for a few minutes when of course Ron suggested they go to the Great Hall for something to eat. All agreed and left through the portrait hole.

Upon arriving in the Great Hall Harry had to stop and with a shocked look said simply "Wow, I can't believe it".

Hermoine quickly started "Oh Harry, not many people have left yet and more keep coming, family, friends, ministry workers...

Harry cut her off "Hermoine, I figured the Hall would be full still but what are they still doing here"?

The other three looked in the direction he was pointing at and noticed all 3 Malfoys talking with a ministry employee. Ron was about to speak when Ginny cut him off "Harry it is beyond disgusting but Lucius is claiming to have been under the Imperious the whole time and as it looks he is going to get away with it".

Harry cringed and felt a rush of guilt for Ginny wash over him. "Oh Ginny, I'm sorry but I will flat out not let him get away this time. I've been thinking about things since I woke up and I think Lucius will play a nice role in what I have planned. Something changed in me Gin, after getting hit with that Killing Curse last night. I'm afraid I can't talk about it with you yet but know that when I act on my plans you will be informed".

"Ok Harry, but please don't do anything crazy" she said.

"Don't worry Gin Lucius will pay for all he's done, especially to you" Harry assured her.

The four found a table and sat down, Harry noticed almost everyone glancing his way but thankfully they were leaving him alone for now. They talked a bit more when Ron suddenly got up and said he'd be right back. They had just finished eating when Ron came and sat down right next to Harry.

"Hey mate, I ran back to our room and got you this" Ron handed Harry his invisibility cloak and continued "they might be leaving you alone now but no way will they all just let you leave here without talking to you. As a baby you became famous, after last night I don't think a word exists for what you will be now".

"Thanks Ron. Truth is I've only sat here this long because I figured I wouldn't be able to get out unnoticed. I'm going to slip this on, meet me back in the common room in 20 minutes, I have something to go do real quick"

Harry slipped under his cloak and vanished. The three remaining teens got up and started walking towards the door, all eyes were quickly on them and were looking confused. They all started looking around for Harry but no one would find him.

After getting up Harry quickly made his way over to where the Malfoy's were sitting. As quietly as he could he pointed his wand at Lucius and whispered "Imperio" He walked to the doors leading out of the great hall and looked back thinking (scratch your nose) Harry watched with a great smile as Lucius reached his hand up and began to scratch his nose.

Triumphantly Harry walked back towards the common room and to his friends. Upon nearing the portrait hole he stopped and decided he better check if it would work from a greater distance, he quickly thought (walk to the Gryffindor common, sit on the floor and get back up and go back to the Great Hall.

After only a few minutes an ecstatic Harry watched as Lucius came and did just that.

A/N

I thought I would be able to jump from Hogwarts to Privet Drive easily but somehow this is taking on much more than that. I have several ideas as to where this story is going to go and I even know how I'm going to wrap it up so it won't be discontinued before it is complete. I started with no thought towards the Malfoys and while writing,it just came to me. I hope I did good on my first ever chapter of my first ever story about anything.

At first this was going to be a oneshot, however it is going to be at least a few chapters long. That all came too easily even though I did not want to write that much story at Hogwarts, what I was going to do was just too lazy.

Chapter 2 will be a bit later tonight and I'll try to finish this story within a week or 2.

Please review, I'd like to know what you think so far.
