Harry's POV
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

Graduation day. Finally, after eight years at Hogwarts, I got to leave. Just to go right back and be a professor. Whatever. I don't know how exactly I'll do with the whole being a teacher thing, but at least I'll have Neville and Draco. And then Aaron will be in classes with me too.
I looked at myself in the mirror, making sure that my gown wasn't wrinkled. I straightened my hat and looked at myself again. I look good in all black.
"Hot," Draco said out of no where. I jumped and looked at him. He snickered and walked over. "But really, you look hot,"
"Thanks babe. You look hot too," I told him. He hummed and wrapped his arms around my waist. He kissed my forehead.
"I can't believe we're graduating," he said. I shook my head.
"Me neither. But look at it this way, we get married in a few days," I told him. He smiled and hugged me tightly.
"And the days can't go by fast enough," he said. I smiled and kissed him gently.
"Hey I guess the whole school goes to graduation," Draco said.
"They do?" I asked. He nodded.
"Yeah, because we pair up with the seventh years for graduating. The whole school normally comes for the seventh years so they're coming for us,"
"Okay," I said. "We should go, we can get good seats,"
"Okay," Draco said. "Buddy," he called. Buddy came darting out of the bathroom, looking up at Draco. "You be good, here's some fresh food and water," he said as he set bowls down. "And here's a toy," he threw a ball across the room, having buddy go chase after it as he barked.
"Be good," I called before Draco and I walked out of the room. Draco grabbed my hand and we walked to the great hall.
"Harry, Draco!" Aaron's voice yelled. He ran over to us and grabbed Draco's hand. "Hi, I had to get dressed for the graduation. I like your robes," he told us. I smiled at him.
"Thank you Aaron," I said. He grinned.
"You're welcome. Oh, I got you a present!" He said. He grabbed something for his pocket and made it bigger. "Here you go," he gave Draco a card.
The card was blue and had designs all over it. You could tell it was made by an eleven year old. It said 'congratulations' on the front of it. Draco opened it.

'to Draco and Harry,

You're growing up too fast, young men, but at least we'll be together next year. Thank you for everything you've done for me. I can't wait to go to your wedding. Don't worry my mom and I got a better present for you than a card.

Love you,
Aaron'

There were designs all over the card; little pictures of snitches, dogs, and a picture of Draco, Aaron, and me in the middle. He got all of his friends to sign the card, and then put a moving picture of the three of us in there.
"Do you like it?" Aaron asked.
"I love it!" Draco and I said at the same time.
"Yay! I thought you wouldn't like it. I'm not old enough to go to Hogsmeade otherwise I would have gotten you something else-"
"Aaron, this is amazing. I would rather have this than an expensive gift," I told him. He grinned.
"Okay," he said. "Then I hope you won't want another card for your wedding because I already have a gift for you,"
"I'm sure it will be amazing. We'll love it," Draco said. Aaron smiled.
"We're here," Aaron said. Draco let go of his hand. "I have to go to my class, but I'll see you later, okay?" Draco lent down and gave him a kiss on his forehead. He straightened his tie and looked at him.
"You be good," Draco said. Aaron nodded.
"Okay," he said. Aaron ran over and gave me a hug. "Bye Harry," he said into my neck. I kissed the side of his head.
"Bye Aaron," I said. He released from the hug.
"Love you," Aaron told us.
"Love you too," Draco and I said in Unison.
Aaron went into the great hall with us, instantly running over to his class. Draco and I intertwined our hands again and walked toward the front. We sat with Ron and Hermione, and smiled at them.
"Ok Harry, if the press asks you anything you don't want to answer, what do you tell them?" Draco asked.
"I'll say no comment, it's nothing too bad dray." I said. "What if they ask about you being a death eater?" I asked carefully.
"Tell them whatever. You and I both know I'm not committed to them and the ministry knows that my family is good. There's nothing they can publish that will make me go to azkaban," Draco said. He fixed my gown for me and gave me a kiss.
The music started up, and all of the seventh and eighth years stood up.
"Malfoy, Draco," McGonagall called. Draco smiled and walked up. The applause he got rang through the great hall, even some sanding ovations. You could hear Aaron and his friends clapping the loudest. Draco walked up on the stage, and McGonagall hugged him. Draco hugged her back and grinned.
"I'll see you at your wedding," she said. Draco smiled at her.
"I'll be waiting for you," Draco said. McGonagall gave him his diploma and Draco came back over to sit down.
"Granger, Hermione," she called. Hermione got up and walked to her, receiving a hug and her diploma along with applause. Then Ron was called up, going through the same process. Then my name was called.
"Potter, Harry,"
The room was silent for a second before loud applause we through the room. It was louder than the applause anyone else got. I smiled at McGonagall and gave her a tight hug. Once I released she gave me my diploma. She smiled at me again and I sat back down.
Draco give me a kiss on the cheek and held my hand for the rest of the ceremony. Once everyone got their diplomas, we threw our hats up in the air and got more applause. Then everyone went up for speeches, and that took a long time. It was basically everyone saying that they weren't going to loose touch and that the year was great and stuff like that.
"And now, for the first time ever since the war, Harry Potter is going to answer some questions for everyone," McGonagall announced. I gulped and walked up to the podium. I didn't really know what people were going to ask me.
"Mr. Potter, what went through your head when you were face to face with You-Know-Who, preparing to battle?" A reporter asked. Every wizard magazine reporter known in the world was at Hogwarts, preparing their self writing quills to take down notes. I took a deep breath.
"Well," I started. "If I'm going to be completely honest, I was terrified. I only thought about getting out of there alive. I also had everyone else's lives to worry about.
I felt like if I didn't win that battle and kill him, then the world would end. Both muggle and wizard. I was nervous and scared that I wasn't going to win, and it only got worse as I looked around to see all of my friends either seriously hurt or being held back by death eaters. So I guess in a nutshell, I was thinking either win or everyone is going to die," I answers truthfully. Everyone was murmuring and I looked at Draco, and he gave me a thumbs up. I grinned and looked back at the reporters.
"When did you find out you had GAD," someone yelled out, causing an uprising of yells to echo through the great hall. No one ever really knew that I had GAD. I sighed.
"I don't have GAD," I told everyone, making them stop. "I have PTSD from the war. No further questioning,"
"Mr. Potter, what did you feel like when you saw your fiancé with the death eaters? Betrayed, abandoned, angry-?"
"None of the above," I interrupted the reporter. "I knew that he would fight for the right side. I knew that he wasn't betraying anyone, he's too much of a marshmallow for that," That got a little bit of laughter.
"Me. Potter, are you excited to get married?"
"Well of course I am!" I exclaimed with a bright smile. "I mean, I waited six years to marry my lover. So of course I'm excited to finally be able to marry him," I said. Draco smiled.
"Have you decided on a career yet? An auror perhaps?"
"No, I have decided to be a teacher at Hogwarts along with my fiancé and Neville Longbottom. I decided that it was too risky to be an auror and that I didn't want people to be worried-"
"You mean, your fiancé?" A reporter cut me off. I nodded.
"I don't want anyone worried about me-"
"Do you think that your fiancé holds you back from things you want to do? Or do you fear that he will do something to you if you don't do what he says? He is a death eater after all-"
"Don't even think of speaking to me that way," I snarled, causing the reporter to be quiet.
"My fiancé is looking out for me. He told me that being an auror was dangerous and that he wanted me to be aware of ex death eaters that would try to attack me. Being an auror would increase the possibility of me being attacked. He told me to do what I wanted for my career, but told me to be careful. I chose to be a Hogwarts teacher out of my own free will.
And no, before you go making up a story for your magazine that my fiancé does things to me if I don't do what he wants, you should meet him first. He's kind and loving and as I said before a huge freaking marshmallow. So if you're going to accuse my fiancé of beating me if I don't do what he wants, then you can leave. He might have been a death eater in the past, but he was forced to. Otherwise he would have been killed, his parents would have been killed, and then You-know-who would have hunted me down and killed me quicker. So, you can kindly take that accusation you have of my fiancé, and shove it up your ass," I snapped. "No further questioning," I said, and everyone was silent. Then everyone started clapping and cheering. I got off the podium, and went to Draco. He only stared at me blankly. He grabbed my hand, and together, we ran out of the great hall. He apparated us back to our dorm, and looked at the ground.
"Your reputation," he said with a worried look. "Your reputation was on the line, and you just exploded like that," he stated. He turned his head to look at me. "Why? Why did you do that! Oh my god you have to go apologize so you don't get any hate-!"
"Draco, I exploded like that because I love you," I said sincerely. "They thought that you were beating me, Draco. Beating me! I couldn't just sit there and say 'oh he doesn't do that', I had to explode and tell them that you wouldn't do that! They're lucky that there were children in there or else I would have included some very colorful language," I said. Draco looked at me, and hugged me.
"Why can't we get married sooner?" He asked. I wrapped my arms around his waist.
"Because we made the date three days after graduation." I told him.
"Well that was stupid of us," Draco mumbled. Buddy came running out of the seating area to us, jumping on our legs to say hi. "Hi bud!" Draco said. Buddy calmed down and jumped on the bed.
"Hey, at least it's only a few more days until we get married," I said. Draco hummed.
"I love you," Draco said. I leaned in and kissed him passionately.
"I love you more,"
