"I am so proud of you." Lily Potter said tearfully as she hugged Harry in a tight grip. She clung to him tightly as he hugged back grinning happily.
"I never thought you would be here." Harry said as he lessened his grip. Lily let go of Harry and held him at arms length looking at him. She smiled before she starting tearing up once more. "Neither did I Harry, neither did I. But I am and that is all that matters right now."
"Now don't cry luv." James said as he slung his arm across Harry's shoulder. He pulled Lily into a hug also. "I am really proud of you son."
"You know its not just everyday that your son graduates from Hogwart's." Lily said as she glared at James for being so collected. He didn't even look emotional. But she knew, deep down he was.
"I know." James grinned as he smacked Harry on the back. "Now, Sirius is off with Remus congratulating your little brown haired friend. I think we should head on over there, don't you?"
Harry grinned as he walked off. He saw his Hermione being engulfed by Sirius who was blubbering about how much she's grown and matured. He shook his head and joined in with the hug. Sirius backed off a little and a Harry hugged her tighter before a sea of red heads joined in, trapping the two. The twins, Ron, and Mrs. Weasley hugged them both. The twins cried jokingly saying they were so proud that ickle Ronniekins and the two lovebirds finally graduated from Hoggywart's and are now legal adults. Ron just grinned with happiness, not saying one word or yelling at the twins for calling him "ickle Ronniekins". Molly just cried incoherently, saying that her babies were growing up so fast.
James nudged Sirius who nodded in agreement. "Now, I do believe that we should adjourn this to the Potter mansion where there is a huge grad party going to commence. Everyone is invited of course."
Cheers filled the room as everyone started leaving the Great Hall. James and Sirius lead the way while singing. Hermione, Ron and Harry stayed back a little, hoping for the crowd to disperse fast so they can chat without other interrupting them.
"Now you look here." Ron said seriously as he could. "I won't allow you two to just go off, get jobs, married, then settle in for the married life and just ditch me. You hear? Twice a week, at least we will be getting together to hang out. Got it? There is no exceptions."
"Sounds good." Harry grinned as he hugged Ron in a brotherly way and they then pulled Hermione in who had started crying happily. "You should also bring Luna when she is not at school."
"Wouldn't want to be a third wheel right?" Hermione said jokingly. Ron laughed and messed up both of their hairs. It came in handy when you are taller than everyone.
"I agree. But, this is not the end." Ron said as he smiled. "Just the beginning of a whole new life."
A/N: Not the greatest ending in the world. But I am really proud that I actually finished! I want to thank all of you who reviewed, alerted and all that. It really helped me when I thought about quitting. Thanks again!
Oh, and have a Happy Halloween!
