A/N: Hello everybody! Rico-Girl here

This is my firs fan fiction on this site, though not my first fan fiction ever, so I'm a little new to this place, but I think it's brilliant. Anyway, this is a H/G, R/H, D, fic. It is after Voldemort has been destroyed, as the summary says.

If you do like it, then please tell me. I love criticism, so long as it's not too nasty.

So please enjoy.

Harry stood up and smiled at all his friends around the table. He raised his glass.

"Today we celebrate the downfall of Lord Voldemort." He said. No one flinched, they all cheered instead. "However, I'd like us, please, to remember the man who made all of this possible. The man who taught us all everything we know. He was the most amazing wizard who ever lived. Please raise your glasses and, and let us give a toast to Albus Dumbledore!"

Everyone stood and held their glasses up. There were clinks all around and everyone shouted happily, "To Albus Dumbledore! The greatest wizard who ever lived."

Then everyone sat down and tucked into the delicious food, prepared by the joint efforts of Molly and Fleur Weasley. There was a lot talk and laughter as people relaxed and enjoyed themselves. They hadn't celebrated this much since Harry Potter had lived through the killing curse as a baby and Voldemort had been believed dead. Now though, thanks to that same Harry Potter, that belief was a reality.

"Can you never take any credit Harry?" Draco asked as Harry sat back down. "That was supposed to be a speech about you, and you manage to direct everyone's attention to Dumbledore."

"Dumbledore was the reason we won!" Protested Harry defensively. Draco waved a hand, indicating that that wasn't what he'd meant.

"I know that, Harry, and so does everyone else. But you deserve some of the credit you know?" Draco grinned at his new friend and Harry gave a meek smile back.

Like knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll, stood back to back, battling an evil and powerful sorcerer along with some of his Deatheaters was one of those things you couldn't do without liking each other. So Harry and Draco had become friends. Though it hadn't been a simple case of, "No hard feelings then?" The two boys had had a fair few arguments, but eventually found out that they were quite alike anyway.

"Do you think she'll still like me?" Ron asked suddenly. Harry and Draco followed his gaze to Hermione, who was a few seats away talking animatedly to Ginny and Luna. The duo shared an amused look.

"What, after saving her from the jaws of death?" Draco asked dubiously. "Nah, she'll hate you." Harry burst into a fit of laughter at Ron's horrified look.

Ron frowned. "You're having me on aren't you?" He said, glaring at Draco. "Come off it, you know what I mean!"

"Yeah alright, sorry mate. Look, why don't you ask her?" Draco suggested.

"Ask her?" Ron contemplated something he'd never contemplated before. Then his face set into a determined look. "You know what? I think I might." He got up and walked over to Hermione. Harry and Draco watched as the three girls looked up. They could almost hear Ron's stutters as he asked Hermione something. The red head gestured towards the door to the hall, Hermione stood up and followed him out.

Harry smiled after them and then, somehow, found his gaze locked with Ginny's. He kept hold of her eyes for a moment and then looked away. Not noticing that small incident, Draco leaned in to whisper to Harry.

"I don't want to put a damper on things." He murmured slowly. Harry leaned closer, forgetting Ginny at the seriousness in the blonde's voice. "But you know there are still Deatheaters at large, and probably quite angry ones too." Draco continued. Harry nodded seriously.

"They need to be sorted out." He agreed.

"Well, I know most of them-"

"I hope you're not going to do something stupid."

"Glad to know you care. No, I was saying that I know where they're likely to be, what they're likely to do and so on."

"Mmm?" Harry urged when Draco hesitated.

"Well we, as in you, Ron and myself, could sort of find them and…"

"Bring them to justice." Harry finished, smiling slightly at the idea. He'd been wondering what he ought to do now that Voldemort was gone, and rounding up his followers seemed by far the best idea.

"Exactly."

The door opened and Ron came back in, holding Hermione's hand and looking extremely smug. Hermione patted her slightly ruffled hair down, a faint, thoughtful smile on her lips.

The two boys watched Ron glance at his new girlfriend protectively. Then Draco added. "Yes, I think Ron will like that idea."

Well that's the start. Hope you like it so far.
