The rest of the school year went by quickly, and by the time summer started, the four were 17. They had a double wedding on July 6th, and were very happy. They spent their honeymoon by apparating to a beach on an unihabited island. The foursome stayed there until the end of July.
On August 1st, Ron came up to Harry and said, "I changed my mind about the horcruxes. I talked to my wife, oh it feels good to say that, I talked to my wife, and she decide she would come. So when do we leave for the first piece of His soul?"
Harry was pleased that Ron and Luna would accompany him and Hermione. "Let's discuss it tonight."
That night, the two couples chose August 2nd to start their mission. "The first one is in the basement of Harry's old house. Remember, to destroy a horcrux, you have to kill it with the killing curse, but that only applies to easy ones. If that doesn't destroy it, you have to 'bombarda, expelliarmus, alohamora, avada kedava' each curse is for a different house. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin." Hermione informed them. They nodded their heads and went to sleep, dreaming of life after the war.
Harry woke up to the sound of screaming. Luna's voice sounded as if she had seen the Dark Mark. Harry and Hermione rushed to Ron and Luna's room. There, they saw a terrified Luna and Ron comforting her.
"What happened?" Harry demanded. Luna sobbed into Ron's shoulder.
"Bad dream."
"Not just any dream. I saw Ron, Hermione, and me dead from the killing curse. Harry was being torchered by you-know-who." Luna said through tears. Hermione gasped and hugged Harry.
"Luna, it was probably nothing. You were just having nightmares." Harry said, comforting Luna.
"I hope so. I sincerely hope so." Ron said, looking grim.
Harry woke up for the second time in one night to giggles coming from the bathroom. When he realized Hermione wasn't with him in bed, he sighed and went back to sleep.
In the morning, Harry and Hermione showered together and went downstairs for breakfast. Harry conjoured up some ingredients and set to work. Hermione cooked pancakes and eggs. When Ron and Luna came down two hours later, Harry stood and warmed their plates.
"What were you two doing?" Hermione asked with a grin.
Luna looked sheepish. Ron's ears turned red. "We were...uh...we...well...uh..." Ron stammered.
"We were having sex, to put it in short." Luna filled in for him.
"Oh... I see." Hermione said, knowingly.
"Guys, lets get through breakfast and hurry to find the horcrux." Harry urged.
After
breakfast, the four apparated to Harry's old house. In the basement,
there was a glowing cup. It was a ghostly white.
"This looks
like a second level horcrux. We'll go in a circle." Hermione
took charge. Everyone nodded. "Bombarda!" The cup turned
red.
"Expelliarmus!" Luna yelled. The cup turned green.
"Alohamora!" Ron exclaimed. The cup turned yellow.
"Avada Kedava!" Harry shouted. The cup exploded and turned back to a shiny golden. Harry reached down and picked it up. He shoved it in his pocket and turned to Hermione. "Let's keep going."
The other six seemed to go like the first one. Until the last one. Voldemort himself was there. Along with his "oh so loyal" death eaters. Harry was about to kill Voldemort when Ron, Hermione, and Luna stepped out from behind the rock they had apparated to. All of them raised their wands and shouted the killing curse at Voldemort. Four streams of green light shot out at you-know-who. He shriveled and disapeared. The four thturned on the death eaters and killed them all one by one. Harry killed the last horcrux and Hermione jumped on him with joy. He hugged her and they kissed. Actually, to say they kissed woul b an unstatnt. It was o lik snogging, just way, way, way intnsi. Luna walked shyly up to him and slid into a hug.
"What, you're scared of me, your own husband?" Ron asked with obvious happiness showing through the fake dissapointment. Luna laughed and kissed Ron hard on the lips.
They all apparated to Hogwarts and asked to see the headmaster. They walked slowly towards Dumbledor's office. As the golden eagle revolved so they could enter, the two couples walked hand in hand in hand in hand up to the desk. They spoke at once, so the surprise wouldn't be spoiled by anyone.
"The war is over. Voldemort is dead."
