A/N:We do not own Harry Potter. The characters and some of the plot belong to J.K. Rowling. The other half of the plot and story belong to Winter. Thank you.
Once they reached the entrance hall, Harry walked up to a group of people. In addition to the ones he told, Cho Chang, Dennis Creevey, the rest of the D.A., and the surviving members of the Order were in attendance. "We figured the more the better," Ron stated, looking at everyone. "Now Harry why did you wake us mate?" he asked as everyone looked at Harry.
"I am taking volunteers to help restore the castle and grounds. If you are willing to help raise your hand." Everyone raised their hand. "Okay, please break into groups of two or three." He walked over to Ginny and told her, "I am going to work with Denis so I can talk to him about his brother."
"Okay Harry I understand." She reached up and kissed him then walked away.
he walked over to Denis who had teamed up with Neville. "May I join you guys?" he asked. He put his hand on Denis's shoulder and nodded a greeting to Neville.
"Of course Harry," Neville said with a small smile. Harry turned back to face the group.
"Okay, I will number your groups and then I will give you a floor to work on," he went down the row numbering the groups. There counted 15 groups. He then gave each a peace of parchment and said, "This parchment is to mark what corridors you have completed. Listen for your group to be called. Group one, repair the seventh floor please. Group two, take the sixth; group three, the fifth; group four, the forth; group five, the third; group six, the second; group seven, the first floor; group eight, could you take the outside of the castle? The rest of you can take the ground, my group will take Hagrid's hut. If you need help send your Patronus with the group's location. Go." And with that they split. Harry, Denis, and Neville walked down to Hagrid's. "Okay lets surround it and cast Reparo," he said. "More than one person will be better because it is stronger." Once they were around the hut Harry instructed, "On the count of three, one two three: Reparo!" The hut flew back together and they walked back to the castle. "Denis, I'm sorry about Colin, he was a very brave boy," Harry said, turning to face Denis. "He knew what he was doing but the Death Eaters knew more. He was a brilliant wizard and I am glad I got to know him." He had tears running down his face by this time he pulled the boy into a hug. Then he turned to face Neville. "Meet me in the Room of Requirements after dinner. Can you two continue, I need to talk to McGonagall."
"Ya Harry that's okay," Neville said, pulling Harry into a hug followed by Denis. "Come on, lets go to the Transfiguration Court Yard," while leading Denis away.
Harry walked up to McGonagall. "Can we talk some were private?" he asked her, wanting this to be a surprise to everyone.
"Let's go to my office shall we," she said leading him away. They walked up to the gargoyle that lead to the headmasters office. "Lemon drops, in memory of Dumbledore," she informed him as the gargoyle moved aside and she began to lead him up the stairs. "Take a seat, Mr. Potter. What is it you would like to discuss?" she asked in a professional tone.
"I would like to build a memorial for those who died in the battle and it is to be placed by Dumbledore's tomb. Second, I would like the families to get Medals of Valor; the Order and DA, I would like these to be called the Order of the Phoenix " he said and she took notes. "Lastly I would like to visit Teddy Lupin for the rest of the day, and if Ginny, Ron, and Hermione wish to come, I will take them with me." When he was finished he waited for McGonagall to respond.
"You may floo to Andromeda's in one hour in which time you can talk to them," she said, giving him a smile. "As for the rest, I think it is a wonderful idea, I'll get straight to work. Oh, and you can take your N.E.T.W next month if you feel ready," she said, smiling at him.
"Thank you Professor," he said, then he walked out.
