The next morning, Mrs. Weasley was surprised when she entered Ron's room to find Ron and Hermione packing.

"Why are you 2 packing?" Molly asked.

"We're heading to Australia to find Hermione's parents." Ron said.

"Well, actually, we're stopping at Diagon Alley first, for 2 reasons. The first one is that I need a new one from Ollivander and the second one is that we're going to look into getting a flat in Diagon Alley before we go to Australia." Hermione said.

"You 2 are moving in together?" Molly asked surprised.

"Yeah, I mean, we figured that since technically, we've been living together for the past year, we might as well make it official." Ron said.

"Well, congratulations, but how do you plan on paying for a flat?" Molly asked, hoping they didn't have a good answer for that.

"Along with Harry, we're receiving the Order of Merlin, First Class, which includes lots of gold." Ron said.

"Well then, I suppose I'll have to get used to the idea of not having any children in the house. At least, full time." Molly said.

"What about Ginny?" Hermione asked.

"She talked me into letting her move in 12 Grimmauld Place, something about Harry needing her next to him to help him sleep, but I don't believe that. I think she just didn't want to be parted from him." Molly said.

"I'm not surprised. Considering she thought Harry was dead a few days ago. She needs him there as much he needs her, just to make sure he isn't snatched away from her." Ron said.

"I suppose so." Molly agreed.

"I'm surprised that Ginny even let Harry go to work today." Ron said.

"Actually, Harry left before she woke up, since he was fairly certain she wouldn't let him leave otherwise." Molly said with a smile.

"Not surprising. But Ron, are you all packed?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, you?" Ron asked.

"Yep." Hermione said.

"I expect to see you 2 over for dinner as soon as you get back from Australia." Molly said.

"You will mum." Ron said, resisting the temptation to roll his eyes at her.

"I'm ready if you are." Hermione said.

"Let's go, we'll get your wand first." Ron said as Hermione held his hand, since she no longer had a wand, she'd have to do with side along apparition.

"Good." Hermione said as the 2 of them disapparated on the spot.


They reappeared right in front of Ollivander's Wand shop, which they were happy to see was once again open for business.

"Come in Mr. Weasley and you as well Ms. Granger, I have been expecting you here for some time." Ollivander said, showing 2 of his liberators inside his shop.

"We're here because I need a new wand. The one I was using before, it was awful." Hermione said.

"I expected as such is why I have already prepared a new wand for you Ms. Granger. I assume that you are doing quite well Peter Pettigrew's wand Mr. Weasley?" Ollivander asked.

"Yeah, it almost feels like my old wand." Ron said.

"As it should, seeing as you won it from him. And I assume that Mr. Potter is still using Draco Malfoy's wand?" Mr. Ollivander asked, as he rummaged through his shelves.

"Actually, Harry won possession of the Elder Wand and used that to repair his phoenix and holly wand." Ron said.

"Did he now. Excellent." Ollivander said as they heard the door open again and they all turned to Draco Malfoy enter the shop.

"Oh, sorry, I'll come back later." Draco said.

"Nonsense Draco, we won't be here long. After all, we're here for the same reason you are." Hermione said, making it clear that she blamed Draco's family for the loss of her old vine wand.

"Okay then." Draco said.

"Ah, here we are Ms. Granger." Mr. Ollivander said, pulling a wand out from under his desk and handing it to Hermione.

"It feels just like my old wand did. What's made out of?" Hermione asked as she took the wand in her hand.

"13 ⅖ inches, Laurel, containing the feather of one female phoenix, very powerful and highly flexible. Excellent for charms and transfiguration." Ollivander said.

"Thank you, how much do I owe you?" Hermione asked, reaching into her purse.

"You 2 and Mr. Potter do not pay here. You gave me my freedom. That is more than enough payment for one lifetime." Ollivander said.

"Well then, thank you." Hermione said as she and Ron left the shop.

"Mr. Malfoy, I have also taken the liberty of making you a new wand as well." Ollivander said.

"Really, that's a surprise. I thought you wouldn't want to lift a finger towards me." Draco said.

"I believe in giving people a second chance, just as Mr. Potter did when he convinced Minister Shacklebolt not to toss you in Azkaban. Besides, you were being blackmailed by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named into serving him. However, I will be charging you twice the price of a normal wand." Ollivander said with a smile.

"It's more than I deserve. Thank you." Draco said as Ollivander presented him with the wand.

"14 inches, birch, unicorn tail hair. The thing nearly ran me through with it's horn when I plucked it." Ollivander said with a chuckle.

"Thank you so much." Draco said as he took the wand and paid for it.

"Just don't make me regret making you that wand." Ollivander said.

"You won't." Draco assured him as he then exited the shop himself.
