"Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasly" I said grinning, my eyes were scanning one by one.

I glanced at Harry's hand, it was right in front of me waiting to grab it. I rolled my eyes before taking it and pulling him closer, placing my hands around his neck.

"I am so sorry, for everything" he said broken and I snorted, placing his cheeks into my hands, wiping a tear that was falling down.

"I love your hair" Hermione said on my shoulder, and I giggled.

"Isn't it weird though, that Draco and I have the same?" I joked and she laughed nodding, "A little. But still cool".

"Hey, what are you two talking right there?!" I heard Draco's strict voice from behind and I turned around sending him a kiss in the air.

"Hey Won Won" I said teasing him and he rolled his eyes before softly placing his hands around me.

"You really saved our asses" he admitted and I laughed pulling back.

"I will always save your asses" I said standing next to Draco, resting my hand on his shoulder.

Ginny came next to Ron, and she placed her hands around his shoulders crying. My stomach dropped, I realized that she lost someone and I was scared to ask who.

"Ginny-" I whispered and she looked at me.

"Fred. Freddie is gone" she said and I gasped shocked running inside.

I passed all of the dead bodies, trying to avoid looking at their cold, lifeless faces.

"Emily-" George whispered broken when he saw me and fell into my arms.

"I lost him, he is not here" he burst into tears and I couldn't stop myself from doing the same.

"Shh, it's okay. He was fighting, he saved us" I comforted him as much as I could, letting him resting on me as long as he wanted.

[...]

"I knew you would be here" I said, when I reached the top of the Astronomy Tower.

"I knew you would come" Draco said, sitting at the edge on the floor and I did the same.

"God, how could you do that to me?" he asked broken, rubbing his eyes looking away.

"I won't deny it, I am still bitter that you hid that from me. That moment, I thought that it was all a lie. But clearing my mind, running away, made me realize that it wasn't" I confessed, and he looked over at me.

"You are so mysterious" he said frowned and I rolled my eyes.

"Just like Sirius" he continued and I snorted.

"You are right, I guess", he placed his arm around my shoulder pulling me closer.

"It's so sad that Snape is dead. It was all a mask. He is a good man" I said sad, and he sighed.

"He will be a true hero for us, he saved you" he said and I nodded, tears were falling on my cheeks.

"What are we going to do now?" I asked observing the view in front of us.

The sun was rising, bringing a new day and a new life for everyone.

"Do you want to leave? Go to Europe?" I asked looking at his eyes.

"What?" he asked confused, he was unprepared for this question.

"I don't know, leave from here. Live our lives together somewhere else" I said and he bit his lips, looking away thinking about it.

"Let's do it. But not now, let's wait a little" he said smiling and I kissed his chin.

"Can we go at Dumbledore's office? I wanna see something" I said standing up and he nodded, doing the same.

We stood in the twirling entrance, spinning around to get up at his office.

"He is here!" I said pointing out, "both of them!".

"Who?" he asked confused.

"Dumbledore and Snape, look!" I pulled his hand and showed him their portraits. They were moving a little, sitting each one on a big chair.

"Holy- you are right!" he said amazed, and I giggled with my eyes wandering around the room.

I saw a portrait, near the entrance and I was trying really hard to think where I have seen that old lady (that it was presenting) before.

"What's wrong?" he asked and his eyes followed my look, staring at the portrait.

"Who is she?" I asked and he got closer to read what was written with gold letters.

"Dilys Derwent, Headmaster of Hogwarts 1741-1768. Gryffindor house" he read out loud and then, it hit me.

When I ran away from my house, I met this weird old woman sitting next to me at the bus station.

"You feel that you could do better in Slytherin. Or actually, that Slytherin is the best for you. Am I right?" her eyes were scanning me and she was saying these words like she was reading me like an open book.

"I was at that exact same position as you. But something happened and I realized that I was a Gryffindor. I can't tell you what, you have to find it for yourself. I am sure the same will happen to you" she said after a few moments making me wondering what her words meant.

What actually happened to me, was that the Gryffindor sword found me when I needed it.

Actually, the the fact that the Headmaster of 200 years ago visited me meant something, but I didn't know it then.

"Hey, are you okay?" he asked and I zoned in, nodding.

"More than okay" I smiled, kissing his cheek.

"There is one more thing I want to do" I said playfully and he frowned smiling.

"You are scaring me" he said and I rolled my eyes leading us outside.

"Don't freak out, okay?" I said to him and he took a step back.

"Don't be such a coward, come on!"

"This is Pegasus. Pegasus, this is Draco Malfoy" I said waking the big animal up. I glanced at Draco behind me, his eyes were wide opened while he was staring at Pegasus.

"Sh, it's okay, he is a friend of us" I tried to calm the animal down by slowly caressing Draco's shoulder.

"I am going to kill you" he hissed be tween his teeth, still watching the animal in terror.

"Let's go for a ride!" I said quickly and before he would denied it I pushed him making him fall on Pegasus' back.

"What the hell?!" he screamed and I laughed jumping on his back too infront of him.

"Go, go!" I said and he opened his big shining wings, flying up in the sky.

"Shit, shit you are going to get us killed!" he screamed and I laughed. I turned around helping him to sit correctly and placed his hands around my waist.

"This is nice actually" he said when we were flying upon the lake.

"I love you" I said turning my head smiling.

"I love you, now and forever" he said and my heart fluttered.

That's it, that's all I want in life. Spending the rest of it with this boy, who at first destroyed my life but now he means everything to it.
