I woke up alone in the Gryffindor dorms the day after graduation. I had wanted to sleep in there since it was my last night at Hogwarts. Draco had similarly headed off to the Slytherin dorms. I had woken up before everyone else. I got dressed and brushed my hair while Ginny woke up. After she was ready, I took one last look at the dorm. We went down to the common room to find Neville sitting in an arm chair. He looked up when we came in. "Ready for breakfast?" We nodded and made our way to the Great Hall.

I noticed that Blaise and Draco were already there at the Slytherin table. All of the seventh and eighth years appeared to be at their house tables for their last meal. I laughed and joked with Ginny and Neville through breakfast. But I parted ways to go to the Heads dorm. "I'll see you on the train." I told them. They nodded and headed off. "Dobby." I told the portrait.

I walked through the magnificent common room to my room. I finished packing a few last-minute things and then sat on my bed beside my suitcase. Where had the time gone? It seemed like just yesterday Draco had picked our password, shocking me. I went through a series of flashbacks. My sorting, my first day, the troll when Ron Harry and I became friends, the Philosophers stone, being petrified, going back in time to save Sirius and Buckbeak, helping Harry through the Triwizard Tournament, the Yule Ball, becoming a prefect, Dumbledore's army, the Slug Club and Harry Ron and my last day at the school together.

I sighed. These walls held all of my secrets. I became who I am here. Learned many things, loved, cried, laughed, lived. This was where I discovered who I was. It was hard to walk away. Much harder than when I had done it to go on the run. Probably because I was too focused on what we would need to survive, and too distracted by the war to realize I was leaving. I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror.

I felt strong arms wrap around me and I recognized Draco by his scent. "It's weird to be leaving isn't it." He murmured into my hair. I nodded. "I don't want to leave Draco." He sighed. "Me neither. But we're adults now and it's time to start a new adventure." I turned around to face him. "When did you get so smart?" I whispered before kissing him softly. "It's time to go." He told me. Hand-in-hand, we walked through the castle for the last time. We paused for a moment at the doors. And then we walked through them to the carriages.

On the platform, we loaded our luggage and found a compartment. We all sat there in silence until Neville broke it. "C'mon guys I know it's sad but you don't want your last memory to be boring, do you? Let's binge all of the candy the trolley lady has to offer and have fun!" Ginny grinned and decided to start the conversation. "So Harry and I are moving to Potter Manor. Since it's closer to the ministry and where the Harpies train. What are you guys doing?" I grinned at Draco. "Draco bought a house and we're moving in together. It's a little far from St. Mungo's for him and the Ministry for me but that's what apparating is for." "That's great!" Ginny squealed. "Where?" "Ottery St. Catchpole." She grinned. "Near mum and dad then." "Kind of, but on the other side of town." Draco informed her.

"Hannah now owns the Leaky Cauldron since Tom passed away so her and I will be living there, and it's great access to Hogwarts because I'm going to be the new Herbology Professor. Professor Sprout says she's more than ready to retire." Neville told us. "Ron and I bought a house in London so he can get to the Ministry and I can get to Diagon Alley. I'm opening an apothecary there. We all looked over at Luna and Blaise.

"We're also going to be living in Ottery St. Catchpole while Luna travels as a magizoologist and I train to become an Unspeakable." Draco clapped him on the back. "Maybe we'll be neighbours." The rest of the ride passed in talk and laughter. Then it was time for us to get off.

I stood up and walked slowly through the hallways. I paused at the doorway and then walked out. I grabbed my luggage from the back silently and made my way over to the Weasleys. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley hugged us and then we all apparated back to their house. The moment we got back Mrs. Weasley called Ron and Harry in and sat us all down. "You're all moving out aren't you." It wasn't a question. We nodded. "But Harry and I aren't moving out for a couple of months while we clean up the manor since it hasn't been used in a very long time. If that's okay with you." Mrs. Weasley looked very relieved. "Of course dears."

"Now the rest of you probably want to move out tonight, but I'm not letting you go until we have a celebration dinner for you graduating. And after that you have to promise to come every Sunday for dinner, you too Draco and Hermione." We nodded. "Alright then, dinners in half an hour. Go pack."

I followed Ginny up to her room, Daphne and Ron headed to his room and Harry and Draco stayed downstairs. I packed up all of my stuff using my wand so that it wouldn't take forever. I turned and noticed Ginny sitting on her bed, a tear running unchecked down her face. "What's wrong?" I asked her. "It's just, we just left Hogwarts and now you're all leaving home too." "Oh Gin, we're coming back every week! And we'll help you and Harry move in and go on lots of couple's dates and foo each other all the time."

She smiled. "Thanks." "Besides," I reasoned, "You're going to be so caught up in Quidditch you won't have too much time to be sad." "You're right I guess. Thanks Mione." "Anytime." We sat in silence for a little while before Mrs. Weasley yelled that dinner was ready. Dinner was wonderful, but I couldn't really enjoy it because I was dreading the goodbyes. All too soon it was over and we were shrinking our suitcases in the front room. I hugged everybody, teary eyed. "Visit as often as you like." I told them. Then I hugged Ron and Harry. "And stop by my office whenever you want."

They grinned at me. "Don't worry Mione, we'll need your help with our paperwork." Harr informed me. I laughed. "Of course you will." We stepped outside and I took Draco's hand as we apparated away. We reappeared in front of a large, modest looking house. Our house. I told myself. Draco picked me up bridal style and carried me over the thresh hold of our home and I smiled, ready to face the world.
