Harry & Luna
"That's all of upstairs cleared of our stuff. Hey, do you reckon we get to take the food we bought?" Harry laughed at Luna, who looked deadly serious, "What?"

"Nothing love, I'm sure we can take the food. Ow!"

"Harry sit down." Luna cooed and pulled out a chair for him,

"Thanks." He looked up at her and shook his head, less than six months and they'd already been through so much; she understood him better than anyone. "Lu, don't ever leave me." She came over and stood above him, placing a tender kiss on his lips,

"I wont, I couldn't now." Her golden blonde hair fell in sheets over his face, "I'm so sorry."

"What for darling?"

"It's my fault you were hurt, if I hadn't been so silly about it all-"

"Don't you dare." Harry told her firmly, placing a finger to her lips to silence her. "Things just happen, it was wrong of me to pressure you. Let's forget it and move on, there's always another night, for us anyway, I'm not looking to leave in a hurry."

"What about being back at Hogwarts?"

"Sure it's gonna be different, we'll just deal with that the same way we dealt with this year, and you can come and stay in the holidays and it'll be perfect." After a long kiss Luna changed the subject,

"So are we all packed?"

"Near enough, we get back for lunch time don't we?

Ron & Cho
Cho stood in front of the mirror and attempted to brush the tangles out of her wet hair, she felt a little wet herself, soggy and limp because it was all over.

"Are you alright Cho?" Ron came behind her and placed a hand on each shoulder,

"We messed everything up for everyone. Why couldn't I have just kept my mouth shut? I was so desperate to tell the truth and stop Pansy and I had to tell McGonagall of all people, I've never felt so humiliated."

"Cho you did a good thing, you told the truth when everyone else, me included, was too scared to do it. You were prepared to risk so much just to prove my innocence. No one's ever done that for me before." She nodded forlornly and kept pulling at the tangles. Ron took the brush from her hand and began to gently smooth out her long dark hair,

"Oh Ron, why is this over? I'd just come to terms with Cedric being dead, I'd got over it, loved you and now I have to go back to the place where it happened and deal with changes all over again."

"But this time you're not alone. All I know is, whatever will be will be, it's something my mum says, it means we'll get by whatever changes life throws at us. You and me can do just fine back at Hogwarts we'll always love each other. And us six, and I never thought I'd include Draco Malfoy in this, we'll stick together because we've been through things that no one else can even imagine."

"Ron, of all the people I ever thought would give me a speech like that it would never have been you. But that's what I love about you."

"What's that?" Cho turned and giggled, giving him a little kiss,

"You're just full of surprises." They laughed some more, "Isn't it going to be strange going back to being treated like a child after this much time being adults?"

"Well I think it'll be bloody amazing being waited on hand and foot again." Cho snorted,

"What do you mean 'again'? What have I been doing?" She exited the room,

"Hey that's not fair baby. I made dinner that time."

"Mhm,"

"And I've washed up, when you haven't."

"Whatever Ron."

"And I've…"

Draco & Hermione
"Guess we're all packed." Hermione announced, stood by the cases in the kitchen, looking out at the unkempt garden.

"Guess we are." Draco looked at her fondly, "So there's not much more to say really, we both know how it's going to be."

"You'll go back to your friends, where you belong, and I'll go back where I belong."

"The greatest contradiction ever finally gives in. Slytherin and Griffindor, we just proved everyone right, it really can't be done."

"Draco, you know that's not right. Because I'm Hermione Granger and you're Draco Malfoy, that's why it can't be done." He laughed, knowing the truth in her words. He took a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair,

"Man this is a tough one!"

"It's been fun." Hermione looked him right in the eye,

"Yeah, it's been good, I wouldn't change it for anything."

"Never do, and I never will- in our heads we must never change this." He nodded his agreement. "I love you." She whispered,

"Nah you don't. Go on and love other people Hermione, we're not in love, we're just wasting time."

"A nice waste."

"A beautiful waste- but not love."

"Stop being so right." Draco moved towards her and placed one hand on her cheek, he kissed her forehead gently.

All of them

As the buses and taxis started arriving Hogwarts suddenly seemed very small and crowded. Four friends stood at the door waiting for the final two to complete their six. As soon as they saw Draco and Hermione they waved them over. Hermione turned to face Draco,

"We'd never have worked out."

"Never in a million years." Draco took her both hands and squeezed them tight, "You've taught me things Mione, thank you."

"Good bye Draco."

"I'll see you around sometime."

"Ah, maybe you will maybe you wont." She smiled playfully and began to walk off, but slowly,

"With you Miss Granger, it's anybody's guess. But I sure hope we meet when Hogwarts is over and this drama is past."

"It's anybody's guess." She told him with a wink. Draco raised a farewell hand to the other four, not that they knew that was what it was yet, then he walked purposefully towards Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle. Hermione broke into a jog to get to her friends, knowing that everything was ok, she had one final glance at Draco and they shared a wave that meant more than anything else in the world.

Hermione didn't need to explain to the other four, they understood what they saw with perfect clarity- how mature they'd all become- so the five of them squeezed their way into the melee that was their school and no one could think further than the delicious lunch the were about to receive.
