"of course headmaster" Harry walked out of the room with him "sir.. you knew Voldemort was going to be there?"

"hmm, yes I did, but I did not want to say, you'd be worried, plus Mrs. Weasley would disapprove" Dumbledore smile, Harry knew he always had his reasons. For a While there was a silence. "Tomorrow Mr. Potter, the school is have a celebratory feast, we will be honored to have you and your friends as our guests."

"Gladly sir," Pause "Sir, what- what now, I mean, what are we going to do, where am I going to go, not back to the Durselys?"

" You are welcome to stay with the order, we still have death eaters to get. Or…" He gave Harry a weird look, "We're going to need a new defense against the dark arts teacher"

"I'm- well, I'd be honored" Harry Stood proudly.

"Very good then, you may return to your bed, big day tomorrow"

The Great Hall was full of cheers. Gossip could be heard through the big oak doors. Hermione Harry and Ron stood waiting for their signal to enter, hand in hand.

"It's is to my great pleasure to play host to our conquering wizards and witches" Dumbledore announced " My I bring to your attention, Hogwart's own Mr. Ronald Weasely, Mrs. Hermione Granger, And Mr. HARRY POTTER!"

Roars came from the students as they entered, Every one stood up, Everyone accept the Slytherine table. As they walk to the front table Harry Ron and Hermione gave high fives to the friends they passed. They couldn't help but smile. They too their seat at the front of the great hall behind Dumbledore.

"I am also glad to say, next year Mr. Harry potter will be returning as out new Defense Against the dark arts teacher" Another round of cheers, " Now please ENJOY THE FEAST"

For the first time in Harry's life, ting where going right. He was happy after so many years of pain, He had the girl of his dreams, he kept his friendship with Ron and Voldemort was dead. Hermione was full of relief, she was no longer scared or confused, all she needed to worry about now is what to do with her time. It was a life now that neither of them where expecting. Harry turned to Hermione.

"Come with me" He grabbed her had and pulled her out of the great hall, together they walked out onto a balcony. It was most romantic, out in the sunset. "Hermione!" Harry through his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder "Look, I know we've gone
through some tough times..." His hands now grasped both of hers, "I'm in love with
you; no one could ever take your place. No matter what you've always been
there for me, there's no way I'd be alive right now, if it weren't for you"
Hermione shivered knowing what he was about to ask next. He pulled out a tiny box from his pocket and placed it in her hand. She looked him in the eyes, her eyes where tearing with happiness. She pulled out a ring, inside the diamond was cursed to show happy times shared between the two. The first time they met, times they have hugged, their first kiss. Hermione was shocked.
