IX. Friends Again (Come on, you knew it was coming!)
It had been seven months since that day in the Ministry of Magic. Everyone involved found themselves bound by a friendship that could not be explained, especially since they were already friends. Hermione finally gave up on spew ("It's S.P.E.W.!"), Harry and Draco became great friends, Cho went to Azkaban, Padma gave Ron another chance, Hermione and Draco finally put aside their differences, and were able to talk to each other, Ginny and Harry finally went out on a date, and Parvati and Neville found themselves in another bond, not just that of friendship. Harry was his best man, and Ginny was Parvati's maid of honor. Everyone had a great time at the wedding, and three years of dating Ginny later, Harry proposed and they were wed as well. Ron and Padma never married, as Padma was killed in a broom accident. Ron never found another girl that he loved as much as her.
They all stayed friends to the end of their days. No greater friends could be found anywhere.
