“Actually, no. As much as people thought that Ginny and I would get back together after the war, we never did. It’s Hermoine.”
“Really? Granger? I swore that I heard that you and Weaslette got back together.”
“That’s because Ginny keeps trying to tell people that She’s upset that I got have feelings like that anymore. I wish that she would get over that.”
“I thought that I also heard that Granger and Weasley were together.”
“They tried it when we were in our sixth year, but it didn’t work out that well. They fought all the time”
“They fought all the time without reasons for what I saw during school.” Draco asked with a smirk.
Harry softly laughed to himself, “that they did. Could never get them to stop. It was annoying. Wait, correction, it’s still annoying.”
“So, how long have you two been together?”
“About a year and a half.”
“Whoa, long time.”
“It’s not that long is it?”
“Well, it’s longer then most that aren’t married or engaged.”
“Maybe for pure-bloods, but for the others, it’s quite normal.”
They finally reached the lake and came upon Hermione and Ron.
Hermione smiled, “what took you guys so long?”
“Too many damn people kept trying to talk to us and such” answered
Harry, and gave her a peck on the mouth.
“You would think that you would be used to it by now, Harry” Grin Ron.
“Shut up” and walked over to Ron and starting skipping stones with him.
Draco was standing there and didn't seem to know what to do.
“You can sit down, you know. I’m not going to jink you or you anything of the sort. Well, not unless you need to be” spoke Hermione looking up at him, smiling, with the sun shining down on her face.
Feeling a bit unsure of everything, he continue to stand.
“Is something wrong?”
“No, just still trying to adjust to adjust to everything. Being here with the “golden trio” doesn’t feel normal, but then again, nothing does”.
“It’s not that bad, is it?” she asked
“No, just different. It weird how everything has changed, yet at times it feels like nothing has changed.”
“I know what you mean.”
“We all do” spoke Harry. He turned his head slightly to look at him.
“Life is never going to be the same. Everything that we knew from before the War is nothing going to happen. We may get close to what was normal before then, but it will only be similar, never the same. For myself, I’m glad that my life will never be like that again. I no longer have to wake up to a searing pain in my forehead. I don’t have to worry about a mad man coming after me and my love ones.”
“Well, to be honest, Potter, I never really thought about what it was like for you. I didn’t realize that it would be like that.”
Malfoy started to think and could be seen that he was lost in his thoughts. The trio thought it was best to leave him there for the time being.
“Will everyone please come to sitting area now and we will finish the Ceremony?” came a loud voice.
“Well, guess we better go” said Ron while putting his hands in his pockets.
Harry went and helped Hermione get up from the ground and walked hand in hand with Draco and Ron towing behind them.
