It only took me a little over 3 years, but I finally finished my first multi-chapter story. With this one finished, I really hope that the ideas still keep coming to me, and I can keep yall entertained for...well, I dunno for how long. Thanks to Chel for the superfast beta job on this. And as the wise man said, "This ain't rock n roll, this is genocide"


Epilogue

The end of the year was finally upon Hogwarts. Graduation had occurred and of course all the 7th years had gotten properly schnockered that same night. Everyone groaned as they packed up their trunks. Some were a bit teary, knowing it was their last time doing so. Those who would not see each other on the train said their goodbyes and exchanged their addresses and telephone numbers (those who knew what a phone was), and promises of visits over the summer holiday.

It was the final morning and all the students had been herded into the carriages that took them to the train station. On the train ride, Draco sat against one of the windows in their car, Harry with his back against Draco, legs sprawled and covering the rest of the seat. Hermione and Ron were a bit more reserved, choosing just to sit side by side and caress eachother's hands. Ron actually had a pair of earphones on and was bobbing his head slightly. Every now and then he would mumble the word "Pink," but no one paid attention to him.

The black mop of hair before Draco proved entertaining and a place to keep his hands busy, weaving his fingers in and out, stopping every now and again to untangle a knot. Harry's eyes kept threatening to roll back into his head; he was beside himself with mirth.

As they neared King's Cross, they all forfeited their comfy positions and got up to retrieve their belongings from above. In doing so, Draco discovered he had a wrapped gift that he had forgotten about.

"Granger," he said. Hermione turned around from getting her own things.

"Yeah?"

He handed her the flat box wrapped in a glittery paper.

"At the beginning of the year, you gave me a highly distracting poster that interfered with my studies and caused me, on more than one occasion, to blow up my cauldron. So, in turn, I have for you something that should prove to be as equally distracting, and I sincerely hope that you will be glued to it all summer long, thus interfering with your summer projects assigned by your university." He grinned his signature grin. She raised an eyebrow, set her other stuff down and began to pull the paper off.

"Why, it's a DVD…. And it's….the Labyrinth?" She glanced down to the right-hand corner (discreetly of course, so Draco would not notice) and saw her own initials of H.G. marked there. Her eyes darted to Harry with a venomous glare. Harry stared for a moment and then turned very flush. He suddenly became very busy with unloading his things from above. He ushered Ron to hurry up and they both were off the train in seconds.

Hermione gritted her teeth a bit.

"Why Draco, how kind of you," she replied finally, after composing herself.

"I most definitely recommend the 'Dance, Magic, Dance' sequence. You'll die, it's so utterly fantastic," Draco went on. Hermione got off the train nodding away to his incessant comments, but really she was shaking her head at him.

"He wears these marvelous tights with simply superb knee-high riding boots and he prances around…."
