As Harry looked back on the rest of that year, it is all pretty much a blur except one moment. He found out that Neville had captured Bellatrix. Ginny had captured Malfoy Sr., and Ron, Draco. It all seemed very poetic to him. All of them had been responsible for the capture of many death eaters. They had all received awards, Hermione a very high one, and Harry the highest possible. Ron, Neville, Ginny, and Luna had received 700 points each, and Harry and Hermione had each received 1000 points.
At graduation, Hermione had the highest grades, of course. Harry had done very well, and everyone else had not done poorly. The day after graduation, Harry and Hermione went to Godric's Hollow, so Harry could see where his old house had been. Both of them spoke of what was to come.
"Hermione, I cannot imagine life without you." Harry said.
"I hope we never have to be apart." She replied.
"lets make sure it never happens." He said.
She turned to look at him. "Are you asking what I think you are asking."
"Yes I am. Hermione Granger, will you marry me. I don't have a ring yet, but I will get one." He replied.
"I don't need a ring. I only want one if I can get you one." She smirked.
"okay." He grinned.
They were married a year later. Neville and Ginny married a year after that, and Ron and Luna two years later. Harry and Hermione both worked as aurors. They had three kids, James Albus Granger-Potter, Sirius Remus Granger-Potter, and Lily Minerva Granger-Potter. Proffesser McGonagal became head mistress. Remus married Tonks two months after the battle, and he became DADA teacher and deputy headmaster. Neville became the herbology proffesser. Ginny and Ron both worked at the ministry. Luna took over the Quibbler and did most of her work at home. Though there were other dark wizards and witches that came and went, nothing could separate this group of friends. Harry, Hermione, and Ron remained best friends for the rest of their lives. Harry remained famous, but not just as the boy-who lived. He was a great auror and leader. He eventually became Minister of Magic. As time went on, they remembered the events of their school days as only a small part of their lives. Though at the time they saw graduation as the end, they know knew it was only the end of the beginning.
