Everyone turned to see who spoke, only to see that it was none other than Harry. He ran up the stage to where Hermione was and faced her.

"Harry, what are you doing?" she asked, looking confused.

"I need to do this before we leave here," he replied.

Then, he got on one knee and pulled out a small box from his robes as the crowd filled with gasps. Hermione's eyes grew wide and her mouth was wide open.

"Hermione Granger, will you marry me?" he asked while opening the box to reveal a simple silver-band diamond ring.

Hermione was still in shock for a moment before she closed her mouth and smiled while saying, "You couldn't propose anywhere more romantic?"

"Well I thought right now would be best, since everyone's here," he explained.

Hermione's smile grew wider and a single tear made her way down her face as she answered, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Harry stood up and hugged her tight before putting the ring on her left ring finger. The crowd cheered wildly as the newly engaged couple came down from the stage.

After the ceremony, the girls headed back to the dorm, where they had only 30 minutes until the after party.

"Can you believe that you're getting married, 'Mione?" Ginny said ecstatically.

"It's just sinking in right now, actually. You guys knew about it?" she asked.

"Nope, no clue," Melany said.

"Yeah, even I didn't know about it, and I'm his own cousin!" complained Jenine.

"Trust me, Jenine, I bet there's a lot of things that he doesn't tell you," teased Melany.

"Yeah, that's true," she replied while laughing.

"Come on, guys. Let's get a move on so that we have more time to get ready," said Ginny.

The girls nodded in agreement before power walking.

Meanwhile in the boys' dorm, the guys were congratulating Harry while changing.

"Our 'boy who lived' just turned into 'man who lived to be whipped'," said Fred with a smirk on his face.

"I honestly didn't think you had it in you to do that in front of everyone," Blaise teased.

"Oh come on, Blaise, he stood up to and defeated one of the darkest wizards of all time," Ron explained.

"Yeah, but I think it's easier than proposing," Draco replied while everyone but Ron nodded.

"Come on, boys, we have to go meet the girls down there so that we can go to the party," George said.

The boys nodded and dressed quickly before going down to the common room. To their surprise, the girls were already waiting downstairs.

Jenine and Ginny wore the same dresses they wore for the Halloween ball whereas Hermione and Melany were wearing the dresses from Christmas.

"Wow, you girls actually came down before us?" Ron asked.

"Come on Ron, just because we're girls doesn't mean we take forever to get ready," Ginny told her brother.

"So shall we go, then?" Harry asked.

Everyone nodded as they took their significant other's hand and walked towards the Great Hall.

They were amazed on how fast it took to completely transform the hall. The chairs were gone and instead there were plenty of tables for the students plus their families to sit in. The group immediately saw the others and joined them at the table.

They were greeted with congratulations from everyone, but mostly they all congratulated Harry and Hermione.

"You guys better party hardy," Bill said.

"Yeah, make good used of the left over time you have by doing things you haven't done here yet," Charlie finished.

"Boys, will you please stop being a negative influence to the others?" Molly scolded them.

"Yes, mum," they chanted while smirking.

After eating in silence for a bit, Ginny said, "You know, it still hasn't hit me that this is going to be the last meal we'll ever have here."

The group nodded while the sudden realization sunk in.

"Lighten up, guys, you'll come back again later in your life," Arthur reassured them.

"Yeah, but it won't be the same since we're not students anymore," Ron replied.

"That's why we said to live it up while you're still here," Charlie said, which earned him a smack in the back of his head from Molly.

As everyone continued to eat, Melany noticed that her dad was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's my father?" she asked the group.

"Full moon," the adults chanted.

"Oh, that sucks Merlin's balls," Jenine said.

"Mouth, Jenine," Molly reminded her, which made everyone laugh.

"Sorry," she said while turning red.

"So how's Teddy?" Harry asked Tonks.

"Oh, he's doing fine. Getting a bit harder to take care of him, though, since he's getting bigger and I'm pregnant again."

Tonks suddenly slapped her hand over her mouth as everyone choked on their food and stared at her.

"Tell me I didn't just say that," she said while hitting her head.

"But you did," Hermione said, still in shock.

Everyone's faces then turned into emotions of happiness as they congratulated her.

"How far are you along?" Ginny asked.

"Almost 5 months."

"Girl or boy?" Jenine asked.

"It's a girl!" she said happily.

"Oh, did you think of any names yet?" Hermione said.

"Oh, we have one!" the twins said together.

"Oh yeah? What?" Tonks said, interested.

The twins looked at Harry and said, "Helga," which made the group but Harry laugh.

"I'm sorry, are we missing something?" Percy said.

The twins looked at each other before explaining what they had done to Harry. At the end, everyone else started to laugh, except for Molly, who smacked them in the back of their heads.

"But seriously, Tonks, any names?" Melany asked.

"Well, Remus and I were thinking of Serenity," she explained.

"Serenity Lupin. That sounds lovely. Now if you need any help, you just owl me, okay dear," Molly said.

"Thank you, Molly. I'll take you up on that offer," she replied, giving a big smile.

"Why were you keeping it a secret, though?" Harry asked.

"Well, we wanted it to be a surprise. But I guess it isn't now, is it?"

"Obviously," Blaise said.

"Well, about 3 more hours until this is over so why don't you kids go make us of it?" Arthur said before the graduated students stood up and went their own way.

Blaise and Ginny made their way to the dance floor and danced a little bit before heading to a pair of empty seats.

After Blaise came back with drinks in hand, Ginny asked, "So where are you going after this?"

"Probably back to my mansion. I don't really want to go since it's just going to be me there," he explained.

"Then why don't you stay at The Burrow?" she suggested.

He looked at her for a while before saying, "You think your family would actually let me stay there?"

"Why not? There are plenty of rooms open and, my family did accept you."

"Aw, I was willing to share a room with you," he said while smirking.

"I don't think my parents will approve of that. You can sleep in the room next to mines, though."

"Close enough," he replied before giving her a kiss.

"Harry, where are you taking me?" Hermione asked her fiancée.

"You'll see," he said while leading her to their destination.

They finally stopped, and Hermione immediately remembered where she was. They had stopped in front of the fat lady's portrait.

"Cornish Pixies," he said before the portrait door swung open.

"I haven't been here since a year ago," Hermione said while looking around the room.

"Yeah, this room holds a lot of memories."

"Tell me about it. It's so refreshing to come in here again."

"Yeah. Aren't you glad I lead you here?"

"Not as glad as this," she said while holding up her hand that had the ring on it, "So that's where you went when you left me at the bookstore?"

He nodded and smiled. She went up to him and gave him a long hug.

"So I can stay at Grimwauld Place, right?" she asked, still in his arms.

"Of course. I wouldn't want to leave you alone in your old house."

"Thanks, Harry. Merlin, it just hit me now."

"What?"

"Well, first of all I'm getting married. And second, this is actually the last time we're going to be in this room as a student."

"Yeah, we've come a long way. You know, I never actually thought I would make it to this day during the war."

"But yet you did, and now you get to continue your life."

"Yeah, and best of all, it's going to be with you," he said before giving her a short kiss.

After pondering a little more, they left the common room and headed back to the hall.

Jenine appeared next to Draco and took his hand. She walked briskly, leading him to the staircases of Hogwarts. "Where are we going?" he said after the 4th flight. "We just missed the Gryffindor common room."

"We're not going there," Jenine said, still dragging Draco up the steps. "Hurry up! Move those skinny legs! You're going too slow!"

"They are not skinny," he pouted childishly. He let go of her hand, and ran up the stairs. He stopped and turned around to stick his tongue out at her.

"Wow, you're smart," she said, running after him. "You don't even know where we're going. Just follow me, you impatient little boy. We'll get there faster if you would walk on your own."

She hit him lightly on his shoulder before grabbing his hand again.

"Women," he muttered. Jenine rolled her eyes, still walking up the steps. They were nearing the 7th floor.

"Egotistic blonds," she muttered back. Draco glared at her, and she smiled innocently. "I say it because I love you."

She squeezed his hand slightly. "And it's not like it's not true," she added.

He opened his mouth to say something, but Jenine just covered it with her other hand. "We're here," she said, gesturing to the wall. "The room of requirement."

She dropped her hands and paced in front of the wall 3 times, muttering something under her breath as Draco watched. The door appeared, and Draco stuck his arm out in a gentleman-ly way.

"Shall we?" he said.

"We shall," she said, taking his arm.

He opened the door, and let Jenine in. The room had transformed into a park. Sand, slides, and swings. It had everything! Draco's mouth was open slightly, and Jenine laughed.

"You do that a lot," she pointed out, closing his mouth.

"Why'd you do this?" he asked, still in awe of the park. "How did you know?"

"How did I know what?" she asked casually.

She walked over to the swings, and sat down. Draco followed her and sat on the seat next to her.

"I was talking to Blaise and he said you're a kid at heart. Of course, I knew that. But he said you had a thing for parks, but you've never really gone to one, so I thought 'Hey, this is perfect!' What do you think? Perfect?" She grinned.

Draco grinned back, and kicked the sand beneath his feet. "Thank you," he said. "Thank you for everything. Especially for giving me a chance."

"It's not a problem," she said, getting up from the seat.

She took his hands and led him to the slide. "You proved yourself, and look where it got you? A girlfriend who you love, and who loves you back. Thanks for being so great, and showing me you weren't a git. Harry still doesn't think you're not worthy enough to date a Potter, but I think otherwise. You're really a romantic underneath all the evil Slytherin-iness."

Draco raised an eyebrow. "Slytherin-iness?" he asked. "You make up strange words to describe me."

"Well, it's a good word!" she said, pushing him down the slide once he was properly seated. She followed him down, and ran back to the swings.

He ran toward the seat next to her, and tried to copy her form. She looked at him and screamed, "You can't swing?!"

"Uh, obviously not?" he said, struggling.

Jenine jumped off and landed on her feet.

"Show off," Draco muttered.

Jenine walked up behind him and pushed his back. "What are you doing?!" he asked. "You could ask me politely to get off!"

"I'm pushing you so you can swing, genius," she said, continuing to push him. "You're the one who's supposed to be doing this to me. You're 17 years old, and you can't swing. Wow. Pump your legs, it should help."

Draco soon got the hang of swinging and laughed. "This is easy!" he said as he slowed himself down.

Jenine was sitting in the sand with her legs in front of her. Draco sat down next to her.

"What are we going to do?" she said softly, playing with the sand. "Where is this going to go?"

"Where is what going to go?" he asked, puzzled.

"Our relationship," she said. Draco took her hand.

"Wherever we want it to go. The sky's the limit. We'll do whatever we want, and I'll do everything in my power to keep you. You're going to be mine as long as you want me."

Jenine cuddled up next to Draco and sighed. "I hope you're free, because you'll be mine forever. Boyfriend, slave; I haven't decided on a title for you yet."

They laughed together. Jenine hugged Draco tighter and whispered, "I love you, Draco."

Draco wrapped his arms around Jenine and kissed the top of her head. "I love you, too."

They sat together, cuddling, talking about anything and everything.

They left the room of requirement that evening hand in hand, more in love than ever before.

Maybe life wouldn't be so hard after Hogwarts.

Melany and George decided to go back to their common room for one last time.

"Man, I'm going to miss this place," she said, looking around.

"Same here. But yet, I'm excited to go back to the shop," he replied with a grin on his face.

Melany laughed a bit before asking, "So when does work start, oh noble knight?"

He laughed and said, "Anytime, but tomorrow would be nice."

"Honestly, George, you expect me to go to work right after I leave school?"

"Well, I am," he said.

"Fine, I'll try to go. It better be worth the pay, though."

"It is. I mean, what better pay is seeing me everyday?" he said, with a smirk on his face.

"Let me think. Actual money?" she teased.

George rolled his eyes and grabbed her before tickling her senseless.

"Alright, you're the best pay!" she managed to say.

George let go and gave her a deep kiss. When they let go for air, they took a seat on the couch.

"You know, a year ago, I never would've imagined me being with you," she said.

"Well, things have changed, haven't they?"

"Yeah, we came along way this year. A lot of things happened in here, too."

"Yup, like our first fight. And since then, I haven't screwed up, now have I?"

"No, you haven't. I guess you proved me wrong this one time."

"I've proved you wrong other times, too, you know."

"Whatever. We should get back to the hall to meet your family."

With that Melany stood up, with George behind her.

Before walking out, Melany said, "Goodbye, common room."

"Wow, my girlfriend's talking to rooms," he said jokingly.

She smacked him on the arm and he rubbed it, pretending that it hurt.

"Aw, my boyfriend's a baby," she mocked.

George rolled his eyes and kissed her again before they left the room.

When they made it to the Great Hall, they found everyone waiting for them already. They each grabbed their trunks and headed to Dumbledore's office.

"I can honestly say that you students were the best students I've ever had," Dumbledore said, with a smile on his face.

"Thanks, Professor. I think we can all agree that you were just as good," Harry said.

"I bid you all a good life. And hopefully I will see you all again," he said before waving them goodbye.

The students silently said goodbye to the school as the flood back to the Burrow, which meant back to reality.

A/N: And that's it, folks! I would like to thank everyone who reviewed for this story. And most of all, I would like to thank Jenine for helping me along the way ;D.

Don't worry, theres going to be a sequel to this story, so look out for that one soon!

Peace, Cuhmeel
