"I can't believe we're officially Hogwarts graduates." Hermione said to Ginny as they climbed in the boats.
"I know, it's a shame that Harry and Ron aren't here with us to though." Ginny said.
"True, but they've had their hands full tracking down death eaters that escaped the country after Voldemort was defeated." Hermione said.
"Yeah, but still, it would've been nice to actually know where Harry is all the time and not have to wonder whether or not he's dead or alive." Ginny said.
"Ginny, trust me, I spent a year with that man and trust me when I say that he can take care of himself." Hermione said.
"Hermione, who are we kidding, without your brains, he probably would've gotten himself killed by now." Ginny said.
Hermione had to resist the urge to laugh and said "Ginny, Harry's survival instincts are better than anyone's when he actually listens to them."
"I know and I know I'm just being paranoid, but I still have nightmares about seeing Harry laid down on the ground dead at Voldemort's feet. I'm terrified that I'm going to lose him." Ginny said.
"Ginny, you knew what you were getting yourself into when you fell for Harry. You have to trust he'll always come home to you." Hermione said as the boats cast off.
"I know and you're right." Ginny agreed, since she knew the moment she allowed herself to fall for Harry as hard as she had that there was a possibility that she'd lose him to death.
When they arrived at Hogsmeade, Ginny was greeted by very happy surprise.
Harry Potter was standing at the train station, a very large bouquet of red roses in one hand and a red heart shaped container in the other.
"Harry." Ginny said, running up to him.
"Hey, did you really thing I was going to miss your graduation day? Especially since I finally finished my assignment of rounding up death eaters and now I have a month off." Harry said as he handed her the roses.
"I love you." Ginny said as she kissed him.
"I love you to." Harry said when they broke apart.
"Harry." Hermione said as she walked up to him.
"Hey Hermione and before you ask, no Ron is not here, because you once said, he has the emotional range of a teaspoon." Harry said as he wrapped his arm around Ginny.
"Note to self, set a bunch of birds on Ron when I get home." Hermione said, seriously peeved as she grabbed her luggage and disapparated.
"Did Ron really just decide that he wouldn't show up here to surprise Hermione when he knew you'd be up here to surprise me?" Ginny asked, thinking that not even Ron was dumb enough to do that.
Harry laughed and said "Of course not. He's a surprise planned for her that I don't you'd want to know about."
Ginny shuddered and said "Good decision, but I'm hoping that you have plans as well that I am very open to hearing."
"Would you rather stay here in Hogsmeade or head home to get started on those plans?" Harry asked, even though he was fairly certain he knew the answer.
"Just let me grab my stuff and then we can go." Ginny said.
"Great." Harry said.
When Hermione arrived home at the flat she shared with Ron, ready to kill him, when she noticed that the lights were turned down and very romantic music was playing.
"Sorry I couldn't make it to the station like Harry, but considering I haven't seen you since Christmas, unlike Harry, who saw Ginny every time he went up to Hogwarts as a guest speaker for the first through third year Defense against the Dark arts classes, I wasn't sure I'd be able to control myself in public." Ron said with a smile as he walked out of their bedroom.
"I guess I should've figured it was something like that." Hermione said with a smile of her own as Ron pulled her into his arms.
"I missed you so much Hermione." Ron said.
"Is there anything in particular about me that you missed the most?" Hermione asked with a coy smile.
"Yes and I think you know what that is." Ron said, unable to take this talking anymore and he swept Hermione up off her feet and into his arms bridal style.
"I love you Ron." Hermione said for the first time ever, since while the 2 of them were living together, they had never said they loved each other before now.
Ron froze for a moment before saying "I love you to Hermione."
Hermione smiled and said "Well then, I guess we now even more reason to get to your welcome home plans."
"Than let's not wait another moment." Ron said as he carried his girlfriend into their bedroom.
When Harry and Ginny returned home, Ginny found that Kreacher had already prepared her favorite courses for dinner.
"I see you still haven't had any luck in moving the portrait of Sirius's mother to another room." Ginny said as she and Harry sat down to eat while Kreacher served them.
"Thank you Kreacher." Harry said to the elf, who bowed willingly.
"Kreacher and I have both tried everything we can think of, but it seems like the house just doesn't want to let it go, even to transfer the portrait to another room." Harry said.
"Than maybe we should look into getting a house of our own." Ginny said.
"What do you mean? Sirius left me this house and it's a good one." Harry said.
"I'm not denying that, but Harry, do you really want to start a family in house where you can't even walk through the front door without getting screamed at?" Ginny asked.
Harry thought about it and then said "What do you think Kreacher?"
Both Ginny and Kreacher were surprised to hear this.
"What? This affects Kreacher to, since I need to know whether or not he'll continue to serve as my house elf if we changed houses." Harry said.
Kreacher thought about it and then said "Kreacher would be honored to serve Harry Potter, regardless of the house he lives in."
"Well then, I guess it's unanimous. We're finding a new home." Harry said.
