Love and war - Chapter One
* It's the end of 7th year. Harry and Hermione have been going out since Christmas Eve, when they both confessed they liked each other. They are Head boy and girl. Ron and Lavender Brown are also going out. [Since the end of 6th year] Voldemort has slowly regained power and the war of light against dark is here. Harry, Ron, and Hermione have been Aurors since 5th year. They gang is thinking about what they will do once they have left Hogwarts.*
Today was an exhausting day for all 7th years at Hogwarts, for it was the last day of their N.E.W.T.S. The testing ended around 5pm, so all the students were mentally and physically drained.
Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Lav walked sluggishly down the corridor to the Gryffindor common room. "I'm so tired," grumbled Hermione.
"We all are," said Ron.
Harry walked behind Hermione and grabbed her waist. "Hey, Mione," Harry, said resting his head on her shoulder. "Hey, Har", Hermione said.
"Wanna ride?"
"Sure," Hermione said.
Harry picked her up and carried her to the portrait hole. The Fat Lady smiled at Harry holding Hermione, who had fallen asleep. "Password", she said.
"I hate the Newts!", Harry said, and she swung open. "Guys, I'm gonna go put Mione up stairs. I'll be rite down," Harry said.
"Ok, Har", said Ron.
Harry made his way up to the head boy and girl rooms, said the password and entered. He walked into their living room and then into Hermione's bedroom. He placed her down and covered her up. He leaned down, kissed her forehead and walked back down to the common room. He saw Ron and Lav talking on the couch, so he walked over and sat down. "I'm so glad those tests are over," said Harry.
"We all are," said Lav. "Now we just wait for our job letters, and graduation," said Ron.
"I can't believe we're not coming back next year. I mean, this is my home," Harry said.
"No one can believe it, Harry. [Yawn] Well, I'm off to bed. Bye, guys", Lavender said, getting up, giving Ron a little kiss and walking up the dormitory stairs. Once Lavender was out of sight, Harry asked: "Hey Ron, are you going?"
"Going to where, Har?" "Join up with the Flyers?"
"I don't know Har; I don't want to go to war. You're not thinking about it, Har, are you?"
"I am Ron, and I already told Dumbledore."
"But Har, I thought you were gonna play quittich for England and the Cannons."
"When I get back, I will."
"You're sure you want to do this, Har?"
"Ya I am, Ron, I have to kill Voldemort! He killed my parents, Sirrus and Lupin."
"I know, Harry, but you don't have to go."
"Yes I do, Ron. I want to make sure you, Lav, and Mione will be ok."
"Harry, we'll be fine, you don't have to do this."
"Yes I do, Ron."
"Did you tell Mione yet?"
"No."
"Well, how are you gonna tell her?"
"I don't know, Ron."
[Putting his head in his hands.] "I don't know. Ron, could you do something for me while I'm away?" [Looking straight at Ron]
"Ya, Har. What is it?"
"Take care of Mione?" "Sure, Har," he said with a smile.
