Ginny still remembered the scene from three hours ago.
The Order had just came in.Harry and Voldemort had just fainted, and it seemed that both were dead.They wouldnt reposnd to anything like they were petrifeied, and about 50 Death Eaters had fleed the area.Voldemort had been moved to the Ministry, and was under guard of every Auror there.Harry had been moved to Saint Mungo's and that is where they were now.The Weaslys,Hermione,James, Lily,Sirius,Lupin,Tonks,the Minister,Dumbledore and countless Healers were in the magically enlarged room.Ginny remembered that her cut had been healed in seconds and so had Harry's arm.Dumbledore had explained over the crying of both Lily and Molly (and that is quite a feat)that as soon as one of them woke up, it would be determined which one would live through the converging wands thing.Only one would wake up.George,Lupin and Arthur were all in beds around Harry's.Of course the Minister had almost needed a bed himself when he heard who was not on the dark side.Sirius's trial would be as soon as all this hullabuloo was over.
Ginny sighed.She had given up crying when her eyes had dried up.It had been hours.As the clock struck ten thirty, Ron realized that Ginny might want to be alone, and since the others in beds had fallen asleep he suggested that everyone else go and get a cup of tea.
Once everybody had cleared out Ginny sighed."Why cant you just wake up Harry?We are all worried sick"
Even though she had expected no response, that is exactly whaat she got.She picked up his hand."You cant die Harry, you just cant.I-I love you to much."
She shrieked as she felt his hand move.Just a twitch.But he moved.
"Everybody quick!His hand moved!"She shouted.
Everybody who had been eavsdropping(which was most of the people mentioned earlier)stormed(more like fell) in."What"
"His hand moved!Just a twitch, but still"
Everybody watched with growing expressions of joy as Harry groaned and his eyes opened ever so slightly.
"Harry!"Ginny flung her arms around her boyfriend.She was soon joined by Lily and Molly.
"Cant...breath."Harry wheezed out.
"Sorry Harry.I am just so happy!Your OK!"Ginny said as they all realised him.
"What happened?The last thing I remember was losing consiousnus.How did I get here?"Harry asked.
"Dumbledore conjured up a stretcher.We thought you might like to know Harry, that by you waking up you just beat Voldemort!"Sirius said.
"What?"Harry said, amazed.
"Its true Harry.Now if you'll excuse me, I believe that Cornielius and I must get to the Misitry.I assume that you will have more than enough people here to explain things.Feel beter soon Harry."Dumbledore said, as he and a stunned Fudge left the room, muttering about how a 17 year old could defeat Voldemort while all the Aurors in the Ministry couldnt.
"How are you feeling Harry?"Lily asked as he sat up.
"More tiered than ever, with a bad headache but I'll be fine"
"Out! All of you now!This boy needs rest!"A very grouchy healer said.
"What"
"He is my son"
"He is my boyfriend"
"Why cant we stay"
"This boy needs rest!No one stays!Out all of you now!Before I call security!"the healer shouted as she took out a dreamless sleep potion.
As everyone cleared out after loud complaints, Ron took Ginny aside and asked her something.
"Ginny, did you mean what you said in the room about you loving Harry?"Ron asked, very serious.
"What?You heard that?"Ginny said.
"Everyone did.Fred had a pair of Extenable Ears.Now I need an answer."Ron said quickly.
"Well,y-yes.I do love him"
What Ginny didnt notice is the long strands of flesh coloured string coming from around the corner.The Weaslys were all smiling as they heard what was said.

As Dumbledore arrived at Hogwarts, he called everyone to the Great Hall.
"I think you would all like to know, that the two missing students, Harry Potter and Ginny Weasly, were found about 10 hours ago.They will join us in the morning.Also, I believe that in future today, will be known as a holiday and the day of Voldemort's death."Dumbledore looked at all the starteled students."Yes, this is obviously quite a shock.I do believe that this is a call for a feast.Enjoy."Dumbledore finished, clapping his hands twice.
Everyone was to stunned for many words.Voldemort dead?Was it possible?As people slowly started eating,they started to except it.By the end of the feast, they all had, thought some Slytherins were sad as their future jobs as Death Eaters had been ruined.There were parties in all the common rooms.Everyone also assumed that Harry had something to do with it, he always had something to do with everything not completely normal.He was, after all the boy who lived.It was almost plausible that he did it.

A few days later, Harry and Ginny returned to Hogwarts, and Ginny had tried to make Harry feel beter at facing a million questions.However, she didnt try as hard as she was bombarded with questions the moment they got into the red and gold decorated Great Hall.Everyone made room for the couple (which was hard because people from the other house tables had come to visit the Griffindor one.)and asked questions like:Is You-Know-Who really dead?What happened?
After a lot of the people cleared the way to the Slytherin table, Harry couldnt resist taking out his wand and waving it at the Slytherins.Everyone watched as the Slytherins' robes all turned red and gold, along with their hair.And skin. Everyone laughed as they started flooding out of the Great Hall, to put on a fresh pair of robes.
000000000000000000000000000 Before Harry left,he called a DA meeting for the train.Also, he started walking around Hogwarts alone, he went to all the classrooms, said 'bye' to all the teachers, visited some of his favourite places, because he would probably never be here again.Last, he went out to visit Hagrid and then sat by the lake.He was at an angle so that he could see most of the castle.It was a beuatifull sunny day and not a cloud was in the sky.Owls were swooping in and out of the castle at thier leisure, and kids were walking around inside, as they had not packed yet.Harry just sighed as Ron and Hermione sat down beside him.They had been visiting places too.Hermione had spent a long time in the liabrary, and got a strangely emotional goodbye from Madam Pince.None of them said anything, just stared at the place that had made them friends.At the place that had been their home for the past seven years.The place that had given each of them a sense of adventure.The philosiphers stone.The Chamber of Secrets.The events of the Shreiking Shack.The Triwizards Tournament.The DA.All of it, the trio spent the afternoon reminising.Not talking, remembering.

(I was thinking of ending here, but I changed my mind.)
Ginny looked out at the grounds.She saw the trio staring across the lake to the castle.She didnt interupt, this was thier last year here.She recalled, with a smile the argument that Lily had put up at her son being in the Order.Not that there was much to do.Only round up the last of the Death Eaters.Harry had applied to be an Auror.He would spend the next few years training with Ron, who had done the same thing.Sirius had been cleared at the re-telling of the fact by Lily and James that Peter had been the evil one and that he had blown up the street and had cut of his own figer.Also they were all animagus.The parties in the real world however, had apparently not ended, even though the ministry was interfiering.The muggles were getting curious.
Ginny had finished packing the day before.She was very happy as Harry had admitted his love for her.Also, he asked her a favour.One which Ginny was only to happy to do.It would be told to everyone on the train.Harry had promissed to contact her as much as possible during his training.
Soon Ginny's thinking was cut short by Luna calling her over.With one last look out the window at the trio, she went over to where Luna was beckoning.

On the train, the entire DA (which was about 40 people) were in the magically enlarged Head's compartment.
"Now I know that a lot of you are probably wondering about what will happen to the DA now that Ron, Hermione and I are graduated.Well, I am very pleased to say, that my wonderfull girlfriend and very talented DADA student will be taking over!"Harry said,from atop the little podium that someone had conjured up for him.He looked at Ginny, who was blushing the traditional Weasly blush.Ron and Hermione cheered.Harry had not told them who the person taking over the DA was.Ron couldnt be happier.
Then, when the compartment door slid open, Malfoy's little gang was there.All forty DA members took out their wands immeadiately.However, Malfoy said, not his usuall cool self "Potter, if your brave enough you'll come down here now and deul!"
Everyone was shocked.Harry however, frowned and hopped down from the podium, taking out his wand."Your on Malfoy"
The whole DA backed off to give the two enough room.With the whole DA squished against the wall, the two people had a square of about 4 meters by 3 meters.Ron and Crabbe both stood with their wands still, even though things were unlikely to get out of hand.The newer DA members were anxious to see a real duel.Malfoy circled each other, before Malfoy shot the first spell.
"Stupify"
Harry dodged and countered with his own stunner, which Malfoy blocked."Expelliarmus"
Malfoy dodged "Reducto!"he shouted.
Harry blocked the spell and sent it rebounding and it hit Harry's podium.It was reduced to a few splinters of wood.
"Expelliarmus!"Harry shouted.Malfoy's wand flew out of his hand.However, Crabbe grabbed it and sent it towards Malfoy,amid cries of 'cheater'.He shouted "Petrificus Totalus"
Harry cried "Diffendo!"The charm bounced away and hit the wall aimlessly."Stupify!"Harry shouted.Malfoy froze, he had not been expecting that.He fell to the ground, and was carried away by Crabbe and Goyle through cheers and shouts.Many people were immpressed at the way Harry duelled.On his way out, somebody shouted "Tarantallegra" and Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle's feet all started tap dancing.They were laughed out shamefully.Just how the trio wanted it to end.
As the train neared the platform,Harry learned that Neville planned on Auror training to.So did several members of the DA that were graduating.As Harry stepped off the train, he looked back once before heading over to his familly, knowing that he would never see that train again.
Okay there is one more chapter left and I am writting it as you read this.I am really hoping for a lot of nice reviews. I hope you liked the duel part.I had fun writing this.
