Will Things Ever Be The Same Again?

Chapter 1: Beginning of the End or Graduation Catastrophe



"Draco!!" Hermione yelled, stomping into the prefects/heads common room. "Come on! We need the HEAD BOY at GRADUATION!!!"



"I'm coming, I'm coming!" He sighed, walking down the stairs from his bedroom. "Geesh calm down will ya?"



"Oh I'm sorry it's just that I am SO uptight, this is the LAST day we have at Hogwarts...tomorrow we go home...we start our lives! I'm just....." She trailed off as she saw the trademark smirk appear on Draco's face.



"Oohhh Is ickle muggleborn worried about how many honors she will be getting at grad??" He said sneering, "Seriously, Mione. You've got to loosen up. All the prefects are starting Auror training, so are you precious Potty and The Weasel. It's not like your losing your friends here."





"I know, but I am so tense. No one has spotted Voldemort in a while and..."





"Sssh, relax," He said pulling her into a friendly hug, "Don't worry, Me man, me protect helpless women folk." He smacked at his chest Tarzan-style.



She smacked him playfully and they walked arm-in-arm out of the common room and out to the school grounds where everyone was gathered.



"There you two are!" Cried a light haired brunette, rushing over, "I thought you guys were going to miss the ceremony, come on! Everyone is lining up over here!"



She dragged Draco and Hermione over to where the other 4 prefects were (Emma hadn't been sorted into a house, she merely took classes with whoever.) Ginny, Padma, Justin, and Blaise walked over to meet them. They all had smiles on their faces.



"Geesh Draco! We would've thought you'd have been here earlier!" Padma cried, embracing her friends. "I mean you've been so excited, being Head Boy and all."



"Yeah well this old "softie" was all nervous in his room, weren't you Draco!" Hermione said, poking him in the ribs.



"Stuff it Muggleborn!"



Hermione and Justin glared at him warningly, their both being of muggle parentage.



"Oh Draco! Don't worry be happy now!!" Emma said, twirling around.



"Oh be quiet all of you, McGonagall still has to tell us when to go!" Ginny said, shushing them. Ginny had been upped to 7th year when she had gotten as many O.W.L.S as Hermione.



"Alright, Heads, and Prefects! Stand here and we will announce your names." McGonagall said, pointing to a spot underneath a tree.



There came a chorus of O.K.'s from the 7 of them.



A few moments later came the sound of Lavender and Parvati's voices. They had been made announcers for the ceremony, or M.C.'s if you will.



"Blaise Zabini and Justin Finch-Fletchely; Prefects of Slytherin and Hufflepuff house."



The two boys walked forward.



"Ginny Weasley, Padma Patil, and Emma Rolfe; Prefects of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Prefect house."



"And last but not least, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoyl; Head Girl and Head Boy!" The crowd cheered as the two stepped forward and made their way towards their seats on the stage with the other prefects.



Dumbledore made a congratulatory speech and then McGonagall read out the names of the graduates.



"Hannah Abbot!"



"Lavendar Brown!"



"Parvati Patil!"



"Ronald Weasley!"



"Pansy Parkinson!"



"Neville Longbottom!"



"Gregory Goyle!"



"Vincent Crabbe!"



"Blaise Zabini!"



"Harry Potter!"



"Virginia Weasley!"



"Padma Patil!"



"Emma Rolfe!"



"Draco Malfoy!"



"Hermione Granger!"



The graduates one by one came forward and received their diplomas.



"And now, a few words from our prefects and heads." Lavendar said, leading the clapping.



"Hey everyone! Oooh. I never got around to tell me Draco story did I? Well I'll tell it now -"



Draco grabbed the mike away from her. "I don't believe that that is necessary."



"Oh, no allow her to continue, you're all going to be dieing momentairily anyway so have a last laugh now." Came a cold voice from the back of the gathering.



Many screams erupted from the crowd. Green light shone everywhere. People were dropping left and right. An evil voice cackled, "Well, well, what do we have here? A Malfoy sitting willingly next to a mudblood? Oh Draco, your father will be so disappointed." Voldemort leant down to grab Hermione's chest when Draco pushed him away.



"Hey leave my friend alone you stupid cow!!!"



"Don't anger the dark lord!!!"



"Why shouldn't he?" Ron said, approaching from his seat. "Why shouldn't he defy a thing that should never have been created in the first place?"



"Aah, Weasley. I am surprised that someone of your caliber had enough guts to stand against the all powerful Lord Voldemort."



"Pah! Lord? Geesh, you are no more a lord than anyone in this room. Well, except for Lord and Lady Montague over there," A couple raised their wine glasses before quickly running away from a Death Eater.





"Is that so?"



"Yeah that's so!!"



"Well well well, if you don't believe me Mr. Defy Defy Defy, well then I will just have to teach you how powerful the Dark Lord Voldemort is! Crucio!!!"



Ron fell to the earth, writhing in pain. "Stop you monster!!" Pansy cried rushing forward. "Why the hell would do this?! I know you think your powerful, but this is wrong! You kill and injure innocent people just for the hell of it! You even kill your followers when you think they have 'surved their purpose', like you did to my parents."



"Aaaah Ms. Parkinson, ready to join in the fun?"





"Never you ass hole!"





"Very well, AVADA KEDAVRA!!" Pansy fell lifeless to the ground.





Emma rushed forward to check on the girl. Even though she had been an annoying prick, very few people deserved to die in that manner.





"The war has begun people. Beware, because the Dark Lord Voldemort will surface victorious this time, and there's nothing you girls can do about it!*"



And after a couple more Avada's, Voldemort was gone. Leaving behind, pain despair, and worst of all, Death of Loved Ones.
