p style="font-family: Tinos; font-size: medium;"Hogwarts had been rebuilt quickly between the Battle of Hogwarts in May and September 1st, the first day back. Because of the poor teaching the year before, and the amount of seventh years that had missed the year before because of being on the run or in hiding, all students were repeating their year, causing there to be twice as much first years. Certain students weren't returning to Hogwarts, being offered positions in the Ministry due to their work in the battle. Among them were Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan, as well as the Patil twins./p
p style="font-family: Tinos; font-size: medium;"To many people's surprise, all three members of the Golden Trio went back to Hogwarts, career choices completely changed by the war. Harry now wanted to be a Healer, which would help his hero complex without having to do anymore fighting. Hermione was looking to become part of an all new Department, the Department of Magical and Muggle Cooperation. They did things like reeducation former Death Eaters who didn't go to Azkaban, and help them with the new requirement to donate part of their large fortunes to muggle charities. Ron, well Ron wanted to become a DADA teacher, as this year's was a temporary auror, who's injuries from the war required her to take a year off the hard cases of tracking down the Death Eaters who still lingered./p
p style="font-family: Tinos; font-size: medium;"But, now with the war over, all the sixth and seventh years finally got a chance to act their age, like normal teenagers. Due to this, many joking called the castle Snogwarts, because most everyone was, well, snogging. Harry and Ginny had gotten back together and without the weight of the war pressing on the Savior of the Wizarding World, as he was now called, he whole-heartedly threw himself into his relationship with Ginny, and she was far from complaining at her boyfriend's joy and light-heartedness. Ron and Hermione, after the excitement of winning the war and wore off, soon realized that a relationship would never work between them, as they only liked each other as friends and siblings and simply fought too much. Now, Ron was back with an over-joyed, and thankfully matured, Lavender Brown. Neville had told Luna his feelings for her, and she returned them, and now they too were dating. Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini had been neutral in the war, ignoring Pansy's panicked remark in the Great Hall that fateful day, and were together as well. Goyle had been thrown without hesitation into Azkaban./p
p style="font-family: Tinos; font-size: medium;"The Malfoy's were kept from Azkaban by Harry's statement of what Draco and his mother had done for him and the visible reluctance he had seen in all three to take part in the war on Voldemort's side, though Lucius remained under house arrest except on the two days a week where he had to go to the Ministry for the reeducation. Also, Muggle Studies was now a required class for all students at Hogwarts except Muggleborns and those who had grown up in the muggle world, for whom it was still optional./p
p style="font-family: Tinos; font-size: medium;"But, two of the few who were not openly snogging anyone were Draco Malfoy and Hermione. However, both gave off the sort of glowing happiness that pointed to the possibility that they were snogging someone in secret, and rumors were abound about who. People thought that Ron, Harry, or Neville were snogging Hermione in addition to their girlfriends, but they were all very loyal men and would never do that. People thought maybe Pansy was with Draco, but her very open relationship with Blaise and the evidence on how hopelessly in love they were with each other squashed that theory. Very few even thought to consider that the two were together./p
