"So this is it." Hermione said sitting in-between Harry and Ron. "Our last day at Hogwarts."

"Yeah. And can you believe we spent 7 years of our lives here? And not to mention all the stuff we went through."

"Yeah. I sure didn't know what I was getting myself into when I first arrived at school." Said Ron. "I was worried about all the teachers and other kids not liking me, not another attack from Voldemort."

"Lets stop by the memorial before the ceremony. I feel like I haven't been there at all." Harry said.

The trio walked down to Hagrid's hut were there was a slab of stone with the names of each non-survivor engraved there. They stood there in silence. Not saying a word out of respect. There were flowers strewn all over the place, and pictures next to peoples names, and unopened letters.

Lavender came out of no were and took Ron's hand, telling the 3 that the ceremony was about to begin.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione took their place in line as all 7th years entered the Great Hall. All 4 houses roared with claps for their fellow graduates out of Hogwarts.

"Today is a stepping stone in your life." Dumbledore started. "You are no longer little children who need to be looked after anymore, but adults. Just being here and making I all 7 years proves that you are ready. Now Hogwarts is a school of traditions. Most of them happening on this very day. At the begging of the year Parvarti, a 7th year girl who lost her life in the war, came up to me in September full of graduation ideas. I told her no, I am not a man of change, but she wouldn't stop nagging me about it. Then Lavender got in on it and I couldn't refuse. Miss. Brown will be making the speech by her self, we are very sorry Miss Patil couldn't be here with her." Dumbledore stepped away and made room for Lavender to come down.

"Everyone has something very unique and different about them. Parvarti always would notice the tiniest little thing about you and make it such a big deal. She thought of these stupid little awards and went around having people vote." She stopped to wipe the tears away, and to pull out a bunch of medals. "The categories are: Most likely to stay friends forever, person who always makes you laugh, most likely to grow up and have more that 10 kids, cutest couple, most friendliest, most changed, most likely to never change, and best personalities."

Lavender was crying so hard by now that she could barely talk, and her hands were shaking. Ron, who was at the front of the ground, was trying to give her encouraging words.

"It's ok Lavender. You can do this. Just say the category and the winner. Imagine Parvarti standing rite there nest to you."

Lavender took a deep breath and began to call off the first category. "Most likely to stay friends forever…with 64 votes………Ron Weasly, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter!"

They all walked out in front of the 7th years and received their medals.

"Person who always makes you laugh… with a total of 108 votes….Semus Finnigin!"

Semus did the same as the trio did, and received his award.

"Most likely to grow up and have more than 10 kids. Now Parvarti loved to embarrass people and that's why she thought of this category….with 83 votes….Harry Potter and Hermione Granger!"

Harry and Hermione were both defiantly red in the face and after they received their award, Harry bent over and pulled Hermione into a passionate kiss. The Great Hall roared with noise.

"Cutest couple….with 80 votes…. ME and Ron Weasly!"

Ron walked down and put Lavenders medal on for her, same with Lavender putting on his.

"M-most friendliest is the next one. Parvarti won that one. I guess I will hang on to it and give it to her mother. Uh…Most changed, with 90 votes, is Neville Longbottom!"

Neville was very surprised and tripped on his way down to the medal.

"Now most likely to never change was awarded to Draco Malfoy, but he is not here so I guess he won't get it. And last but not least, best personalities were awarded to Semus and Dean. Semus you can take Deans medal and do what you want with it."

"Well that's it." Said Lavender "I hope you guys had fun, and that this will become a new Hogwarts tradition."

Lavender went back to her spot in line and Dumbledore stood forward.

"I will definitely keep this a tradition, it was very fun." He said "Now I do believe that this batch of 7th years have been my favorite of all. I have gotten to know each and every one of you, which doesn't happen very often. I can name off everyone here and say their best qualities and worst. But I won't bore you all. Now as I call your name come down and get your degree, this will allow you to use magic outside of school. So starting with Hufflepuff."

The whole ceremony lasted about an hour and now everyone was back in their dorms packing.

"How long will it be till I see you?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know. It depends on how fast I can get away from the Dursley's. it just sucks that I am going to have to live in Sirius' house all alone. You'll be there with me the day I move in rite? You and Ron? I don't know if I could go through his stuff by myself."

"Of course we'll be there."

They were just done packing when Ron appeared at the door.

"The train's about to leave. Lets go."

So the famous golden trio walked out to the train station arm in arm, Hermione in the middle. As Harry was about to board the Hogwarts express a barn owl came swooping down with another letter.

"Not another marriage proposal." Harry groaned.

"Wait and open in once we find a seat."

So they all boarded the train and found an empty compartment rite away.

"Ok mate. Now open it, and read it out loud."

Harry tore open the envelope and read the short letter.

Potter

The war is far from over, and I'm just getting started.
