thankyou to all the people that reviewed me i will give you personal mentions in the next chapter honest but for now heres a really long one

i dont own teh story just teh wierd dream that it came from

The brown envelopes lay in front of them on the bed, this was it . This was the point when they were no longer students but fully qualified wizards. Would this be the door to a new interesting world or a straight bee line for working for fred for the rest of their life?
The look on Hermione's face said the same thing. What if we fail?
It wasn't as if they didn't have other things on their mind for the vast majority of last year.
"so how are we going to do this?" she asked Ron and Harry .
"all together?" suggested Harry, Ron nodded slowly. And picked up the envelope.
Hermione's squeak of happiness must have been audible from hogwarts ron was sure.
He had barley enough time to scan his paper before he had it wrenched out of his hand by an impatient hermione… "ron that's fantastic" she said hugging him … "outstanding in everything?" she said reading the list again "even divination?".
Ron could feel the colour rushing to his cheeks.
They both looked at harry. He was just staring at his parchment with a look of disappointment on his face.
"harry?
" I failed potions." "oh harry" said hermione dropping Ron and going to hug Harry.
"don't worry about it hermione my dark arts mark is of the scale …bet that really annoyed snape" said harry grinning slightly.
" but you won't be able to be an auror now mate." ron said. Looking at him sympathetically.
"I just took down Voldemort, you want to tell me that their not going to want me as an auror?" Ron had to admit that he had a point.
"suppose it's a stupid question asking what you got." said ron rubbing at his leg, it was sore , but that was all his own fault he tried to stand on it before, they told him not to at least until he had crutches but he wanted to see if he could , just for him.
" clear run again" she smiled at him .
" so all in all we did ok" harry surmised.
"harry mate if I thought I would be sitting here with the marks that I got … I would have thought I was going mad." "I don't know Ron remember what you saw in the mirror?" hurry said. "yeah but that mirror didn't show the future?" Ron answered.
" no but it was a good guess really" said Harry as he began recalling the list of achievements that Ron had acuminated.
This time Ron went bright red.
" we'll when you all finished telling my big head of a brother how great he is your dinners ready." said ginny leaning on the door post.
Hermione looked at her watch. " I didn't think it was that late I'm going to have to eat and leave" Ron looked at her " your not staying here?" he asked.
Was that a look of disappointment in her eyes.
"I promised my mum I was going to go home and tell her my results…" hermione trailed off.
"do you have to go home can't you come back?" he asked her as she helped him in to his wheelchair.
She squeezed his shoulder as she started pushing him in to the kitchen.
"I'll come see you tomorrow." "you had better" he said as she sat down next to him at the table, Harry was already deep in conversation with ginny by this point. Hermione loaded up a plate and headed for the stairs. Ron stared at the bottom of the stairs till she came back.
She smiled at him , he didn't want her to go home. What if he had another one of the nightmares? She wouldn't be their when he woke up… but she needed to see her family, and the burrow was a lot further from her house than the hospital.
" Fred say's thanks" she said to Ginny as she sat down.
"he opened the door?" " just a bit, he's taking it pretty well all things considered" said hermione, looking at ron from the corner of her eye.
" he need to go back to work" said mr Weasley from the head of the table.
" he needs his brother to talk to " said Ginny looking at Ron.
"as soon as I can get up the stairs I will ok." he pushed his sandwich around on his plate.
Hermione took hold of his arm and looked at his watch, ron noticed the scars on her arms as her white shirt lifted slightly, he never once asked her if she was alright, how much of git was he.
"I have to go" she said hugging him then walking around and hugging harry and ginny. She walked down the table and gave mr Weasley a hug.
"I have an idea about that thing we were talking about this morning give me a day an ill have it sorted." " really?" " trust me " she said smiling at him .
Ron watched her as she turned to say bye to them all, she gazed at him for a few seconds longer than everyone else.
" we'll I'll see you all tomorrow I guess" she said as she walked out the front door.
" how is she?" " apperateing" answered ginny " she passed her test whilst you were out of it" Ron just stared.
"like you really thought that she wouldn't pass that first time.." said Harry grinning at him.
"true" shrugged ron as his eyes fall back to the door.
"you know… I think he's going to be unbearable for a bit" said Charlie walking in the room at that very moment.
"who is " " you ." he said filling Hermione's vacant seat. "little bro I need a chat with you …"

Hermione paced her room. She didn't like to leave Ron like that but she had to she needed to get her head around a few things. It wasn't as if they didn't know that they liked each other . It was more case that they never acted on it , what with the threat of Voldemort, having to constantly worry about harry, then the death of Ron's mum and then bill, now George, it just didn't seam to be the best time, so feelings had been cast to the back, Ron needed her as a friend nothing more nothing less, just someone to be their.
If only he had asked her to the Yule ball all this could have been so different, but if he had asked her would they still be together? Would they sill even be friends? She some how doubted it.
Ron had changed so much in the last three years, ever since the triwizard tournament he had been so much more grown up, able to talk and listen, that summer in grimwald place had been a turning point, scared but not alone. The amount of times they had sat in awkward silences not knowing what to do, hermione remembered every awkward moment as if it were yesterday.
Cleaning out the cupboard's being so close that it made goose bumps creep across her flesh, bumping head's as they reached for stuff.
She remembered cleaning Sirius's brothers room going through all the stuff in one of his trunks. Something that the trunk had taken a bit of an offence at , it had slammed down hard on Hermione's hand, she instinctively looked down, her hand had no mark now but it was so painful at the time., Ron had taken her hand to look at it, it wasn't a big thing but it was the first time he had initiated contact between them. He had looked at her hand then up at her, "you'll live" he had joked but never once let go of her hand, their faces had been so close, she sighed as she remembered. That could have been it that could have been the moment. But the owl's from dumbeldore had arrived telling of Harry's dimentor attack and they had been jolted back to reality, but the fights had become less since that point, as if ron new that they had crossed that line and that they almost knew where they stood.
He was happy to let hermione go off on one take control, and she was happy to listen to him encourage harry with stupid ideas and for her to Bite her tongue and not yell at him . But late night prefect duties had been hard. Occasionally Ron would let his guard slip and reach out for her, taking her hand in the corridor, she still didn't know if he did it intentionally or if it was just a natural reaction to some of the situations that they were in, but she never once complained, never once told him to let go, he somehow made her feel safe.
But now that the war was over where did that leave them ? Did ron still feel the same way as he did that day they had made their non verbal agreement? They were eighteen now… would there outlooks be so different from the scared fourteen year olds they used to be.
Devoid of her usual persuit when her brain fell on the idea of ron ( homework and long essays on whatever her topic of choice was ) she continued pacing until her parents returned home.

" hermione dear are you ok?" asked her dad as she walked down in to the hallway. Hermione nodded and took the shopping bag's from her mum.
" are you sure you look like you want to say something" her dad continued.
"leave her alone" said her mum opening the fridge door and starting to put things away neetley in their place. " so what were your results?" Hermione filed her mother in on her results, to which hermiones mother gave almost the same sort of shreek that hermione herself had given.
" how did harry and ron do ?" Hermione smiled inspite of herself as she told them about how well ron had done and how he had surpassed his wildest dreams, and how hermione thought that he was thinking of becoming a n auror when he got better.
"so how did harry do?" asked her father smiling at her mam.
" you seem to have forgotten to mention him in all this talk of a certain red headed friend of yours" said her mother smiling.
Hermione went red. " harry did well" she smiled looking down at her feet. " he failed potions but that was to be expected really" Her mother walked back over and hugged her.
" so have you decided what you want to do now?" Hermione looked at her mother, her mum wouldn't laugth it was in a code or something wasn't it that their not aloud to laugh at you right?" "I was thinking that maybe I could become an auror" she said hesitantly.
" are you sure about that?" "yeah … I mean it's not as if I haven't got first hand experience of working with dark wizards, I spent that last seven years as a member of the best defence against the dark art's group going …" "aren't all aurors a little weird?" asked her dad as they sat at the kitchen counter. Hermione smiled her dad was talking about mad eye and tonks.
"tonks is just eccentric, but yeah mr moody is a bit mad, but their not all like that honest." " and you're doing this because you really want to be an auror? You sure it's not just because ron wants to be an auror as well?" Hermione nodded. "and if I'm totally unless as an auror I might try my hand at healing or teaching but I have to at least give it a a go right?" "the decision is all yours, but make sure you make the right ones" She thought about it in her head for the rest of the night ok so maybe it was a little to do with ron , but only a little.

Ron sat on his bed reading a book, Harry watched him with curiosity for two reasons, one this is ron were talking about two this wasn't a book about quidditch this was a proper book with long words and everything.
"ron?" " yeah mate?" "what you reading?" " book about aurors why?" " just wondering" " you want to lend it when im finished with it ?" ron said lifting the massive tomb.
"what in six years time?" Ron laughed, it sounded good to here him laugh it was the first time in a long time.
Mr Weasley knocked at their door .
"yep?" " you have a visitor." Harry and Ron looked expectantly at the door. The last person they ever expected to see was standing their.
"Malfoy?" "hey Weasley." " what the hell are you doing here." " I thought I'd come see how the two of you were" "why?" said harry , just because someone fights with you doesn't make you their friend. Harry still didn't trust Malfoy as far as he could throw him.
" my mother found this when she was cleaning " malfoy said throwing something on to the bottom of harrys bed. Harry picked it up.
" what is it" " that black guy when he was a kid , I figured you might want it what with , I figured that it might mean something to you I know how memories can be important." Ron sat on the bed looking at malfoy he hadn't said anything but now… " how's your dad?" " he's got no idea who I am" Malfoy said looking away from the two of them.
"it's not nice is it…" " I already made my apologies with Longbottom, I shouldn't have to make them to you as well" " he didn't ask you to." "I only came to see if you were both ok, tell granger I came over will you ." Ron made to get up but his leg was in no way to support him , but he cradled his wand .
"don't you ever speak about her" he warned.
"Weasley get over it, in your state of un conscious you missed a lot of things… you should ask her about it some times let her get you up to speed, or are you still working on that one sided relationship where you do all the taking and non of the giving?" " what is that supposed to mean?" Harry looked between the two of them. This could turn ugly , in fact he was pretty sure that it was going to.
"just saying I wish someone had stood by my bed constantly when I was out of it, your lucky, she obviously cares a lot for you , for the both of you " Ron stood staring at him mouth slightly open.
" draco I think you should go" said ginny following the argument in to the room,
"see you later" he said following ginny back out.
" the conceited git" said ron staring at the door.
" he had a point" said harry laying back on his bed.
" your taking his side?" " no im just saying maybe you should listen to hermione some times instead of doing the love sick puppy routine" If ron could have gotten up and punched Harry he would have.

Harry and ron ate breakfast in the garden with ginny when the post had arrived, several owl's all addressed to harry , ron had laughed that it was his fan mail. Fair enough some of it was but the yellow and orange one certainly wasn't neither was the green and black one or the red and blue.
" harry ?" asked ginny as he read the letters over again for the second time just to make sure that he wasn't dreaming. He handed them to ginny.
"they want you to try out?" "what?" Ron stared at him with his mouth open " cannons? Harry you have to play for the cannons" Harry just re read the letters that ron had just handed back to him.
"how did they?" " they must have seen you fly at some point" "harry you have to take one of them if they offer this isn't the sort of offer they give anybody" said ginny, buttering herself some toast. " plus it would be cool to know a proper quidditch player." " you know krum" harry braced himself for the usual torent of abuse that ron spouted whenever krum was mentioned but ron managed to keep it down to a dull roar today.
"I don't know krum , hermione knows krum" ( ron almost choked on his toast, " honestly ron get over it") "but if you were a quidditch player well I'd find that fantastic" she smiled at him .
" oh you would now?" " yeah I would" Beside them ron muttered something about getting a room. "sorry we can't all be bitter and twisted like you Ronald" said ginny smiling serenely at her brother.
"what is that supposed to mean?" " nothing ron" said ginny smiling at harry who was doing his best to control the tirades of laughter he felt brewing.
" so what's the plan of action for today" he finaly managed to say when he calmed himself down enough".
Both ron and ginny shrugged.
All this free time and nothing to do with it.

Hermione woke late that day, something that was a very un hermione thing to do , after selecting what she thought was the right sort of outfit she went down for breakfast.
"morning" she said to her mother as she made herself some cereal .
" what you going to do today?" her mother asked her.
" I thought I might go down diagon ally and get harry's birthday present, then I thought I'd call in to the ministry to see tonks." " your not going to see ron and harry?" Hermione distracted herself with the back of the cerial box. That was precisely the reason she wanted to go do the other things she was determined that her ron fixation was not going to rule her life.
"maybe later but I wan't to see how soon they take in the new batch of trainee aurors." Her mother servayed her closely." "I know I don't know much about the way you live your life, but are you really sure that you want to be doing that." "mum, trust me ok."

After a quick drop in to see Angelina and how the joke shop was doing, hermione made her way down to the quidditch supply shop to see if their was anything new in the window that might do for harry's birthday, she got way laid by shamus Finnegan for steps from the door.
"hermione?" he said looking at her.
" do I really look that different out of my robes?" she questioned.
"no but it's weird to see you with out the dastardly duo, where are they?" " at home recuperating , or at least they were last time I checked." hermione said as the two of them walked in to the shop talk turned to their results. Shamus had done almost as good as they had charms still let him down…. " that might have something to do with me setting fire to the desk though".
.. He was planning on taking a n intern ship as a junior healer at st mungos.
" did you hear about hogwarts?" he asked her as she picked up a copy of quidditch teams of great Britain.
" what about hogwarts?" she said looking at him .
" apparently according to me mam their going to close it down , their was to much damage caused when … thingy happened" Hermione nodded slowly. " yeah ron's dad told me the other day, it doesn't seam right though , their has to be something we can do." As they headed out in to the lazy afternoon sun and down to the small coffee shop on the corner , the two of them held a deep conversation about how to raise funds to repair the place.
" you know we could just do it ourselves?" said shamus as he flicked a sugar cube at a passing hag.
" what the two of us?" said hermione.
" for the smartest witch I know sometimes you can be so thick, no I mean us as a general consensus. I mean how about if we get everyone together that can help and fix hogwarts ourselves?" She eyed shamus curiously " that's not to bad an idea you got their " Shamus pointed to his head " not just a hat stand" " you doing anything this afternoon?" "wishing I could own a fire bolt?" "come on were going to go see mr Weasley"

Ron almost had a heart attack as hermione came barging in , demanding to use pig.
"what do you need him for? And hello?" " hi ron and I need him to send a letter to krum" Ron balled his hands in to fists but managed to keep his voice calm,
"what do you want to do that for and of course you can lend pig…" " thank you Ron and I need to write to Krum because im trying o save hogwarts from closure and I need all the help that I can get… including you so get yourself in to the kitchen and looking at the lists , your good with maps right?" she said smiling at him as pig few down from the top of the wardrobe and landed on ron's shoulder.
" I guess but…" " no buts I have to have the castle back in to habitable condition by august 29th." " hermione that's less than four weeks away" " precisely why I nee help…Harry and Ginny are already working out priorities, I need you to look at plans shamus is rounding up as many students and ex students to help as he can, your dad gave us accesses to the school records. .. Their interesting reading… so I need you to asses the damage and figure out who will be best at what …" " and what are you going toi do ?" " im going to get fred out of his room … I need someone who's outstanding at charm work and seeing as one of the only things that remained in tack was the swamp that Fred and George created I figure that person could well be your brother." Ron had just about time to marvel at how organised hermione was being before a crash in the kitchen heralded the arrival of Neville and Luna, they had both appeared in to the water buckets outside the door.
"sorry" came the voice of Neville through the door as ginny got up to go help them . Hermione laughed lightly behind Ron he tipped his head back to look at her.
"hermione I think you might have created a campaign that will work, just don't giv e it a name like spew ok." he said smiling at her.
She lent on the back of his chair tiping it on to the back wheels. And lent over him.
" its not spew Ronald its S.P.E.W" she said but she was joking with him , her eyes were full of laughter.
"we'll" he said as she tiped him back on to all four wheels.
"im going to go try talk Fred out of his room. You want to find something for luna and Neville to do?" He nodded before watching her walk up the stairs.

The six of them had sat their all day working with their list's occasionally a owl would sweep in and drop a note on Hermione's lap which would confirm another wand in the proceedings.
As it grew dark outside luna and Neville left them to just four , when ron's stomach grumbled loudly harry and ginny took it upon themselves to make tea.
"fred not budging then?" ron asked hermione as she added the last two names to the list of volunteers.
"I'll try again before we go to hogwarts tomorrow." "you should leave him you know." "I would if we didn't need him " "I know." " theirs so many names missing from this list" said hermione as she glanced down the parchment in her hand.
Ron scanned the parchment, his eyes fell on a name close to the top of the list.
" Malfoy?" " he wants to help ron" "yeah right." "he does" said hermione quietly.
" a snake might shed its skin but its still a slimy git underneath" " ron" "we'll he is , coming around here asking after you " "Malfoy came around here?" " said he had come to see how me and harry were." "that was nice of him" Ron stared at her.
"well it was ron you cant deny that." "why are you defending him all of a sudden, he made your life hell, what did he do to suddenly be your golden boy" ron almost spat but to his own surprise he still wasn't shouting, he was still relatively calm.
" what did he do?" asked hermione.
"he said that I'd missed things when I was knocked out .. Hermione what happened?" Hermione turned to him .
"like it or not you owe Malfoy big time , he saved both our life."
