Just as I had told Tom, I had won us the War and for once all Magical Beings be, they Witch, Wizard, or Creature were treated as equals in all things even being able to learn together without any in House fighting. Tom had truly stepped up as Headmaster of Hogwarts focusing on opening the whole castle in order for those of a younger age starting at seven to eleven of age so they could be taught the basics in one part, then he had those of age eleven to seventeen being taught more in depth on all courses, and for the last few empty places he had it for those who wished to get their Masters being able to learn their chosen fields of choice more in depth, this made it so the castle was now open year round and always very busy. Lucius Malfoy had stepped up and Minster of Magic and had opened a side in the Auror department headed by Sirius Black that focused on getting all Magical children from abusive households and keeping a close eye on all Magical Orphanages to make sure none would be abused ever again.

"Can you believe it?" Blaise asked me as we stood outside near the Black Lake as we awaited the start of our Graduation ceremony.

"That our world is finally at harmony? Yes, and with Tom and I being immortal we can always make sure that none try to destroy what we have built." I answered with softly while my hand moved to lay over my shirt right over the Deathly Hallows branded into my skin.

"I think what you need to keep an eye out for is the Muggles finding out about us and trying to destroy and study us." Neville added as he came to stand on the other side of me making me hum in agreement for that was something I had already begun to think about as had Tom, but we figured it would be something we would slowly work to fix. Tom and Sirius were already looking into seeing if they could create a pocket dimension for us to move all Magical's into with only certain trained Auror's being sent back into the Muggle world to take any Magical children that register on our radar's that we hope to have advanced enough to pick up even the smallest of Magical Cores.

"So, will you be having any hellions of your own in the future?" Cedric asked from behind us making me chock on air at the blunt and almost random question even as the others laughed.

"There is a possibility that I will." I threw back easily making him nod his head before moving to wrap his arms around Neville's waist and kissed his cheek, I had been only a small bit surprised when the two set me down to tell me that they were a couple and were planning their Bonding Ceremony for when Neville graduated Hogwarts.

"Speaking of others better halves have you guys seen Siri?" Blaise asked and yes that relationship threw me for a loop and scared the shit out of me.

"He's with Slytherin." Cedric was the one to answer and not much could be said since the announcement went off letting us know we needed to get to the Great Hall.

"WELCOME ALL PARENTS, STUDENTS, AND GUARDIANS! TODAY WE CELEBRATE AS OUR SEVENTH YEARS GRADUATE AND MOVE ON INTO THE NEXT STEP IN THEIR LIVES!" Tom shouted with a sonorous so all those gathered would be able to hear him and so they would settle down.

"I think I will step back and let this year's Head Boy and Girl give their speeches they have prepared for you all." Tom finished before stepping aside and to be the gentlemen I let the Head Girl give her speech first.

"I thank everyone who came out to see us celebrate the ending of our Hogwarts years and to see us take the boats one last time." Lavender Brown said before bowing her head in thanks before stepping back with the others making me raise an eyebrow. Tom had wished to do things like how the Muggles did in adding this for the graduates instead of just sending them off on the boats.

"As the Head Girl said thank you for coming out here to celebrate with us. We have been gifted with the chance to see the end of an Era and the start of a new one, so no matter where we go from here, we shall always remember were we started. I wish all the best of luck to the other Seventh Years no matter what House, I hope you find what you look for and accomplish your goals be it in getting your master's or traveling the World. Again, thank you for coming to celebrate with us!" I said and wasn't shocked when I was given a standing applause as everyone let out cheers. Blaise, Neville, Theo and I all piled into one of the boats with laughter ringing in the air a few hours later after the Graduation Ceremony had ended all more than happy to fully start the next step in our lives.

"So I know Neville plans to get Bonded and work to get his Masters in Herbology and Healing then work to become a full time Healer, Blaise plans to travel the world and learn new Magic, and Theo wants to Intern with Daphne's father in order to become a highly sought after Lawyer. Daphne herself was already making plans to enter the Ministry and work her way to the top. But what I truly want to know is if you all plan to stay in contact?" I asked them to make them give me deadpan looks as if it should have been obvious.

"Dumb question." I added with a wave of my hand and after watching those board the Express, some for the last time did I pull each into a tight embrace before pulling away and Apparating into Tom's office where he awaited me.

"Congratulations Love." Tom whispered against my ear as he pulled me into his lap behind his desk making my laughter fill the air.

"I love you Tom Marvolo Riddle, for all Eternity and Beyond." I hissed out to show how serious I was as the Ancient Magic tied to Parseltongue filled the air surrounding us.

"I love you Hadrian James Potter-Riddle. For Eternity and Beyond." Tom hissed against my lips making me smile even as he pulled me down so he could fully kiss me.
