Please read and review. As with all Harry Potter stories, J. K. Rowling owns all rights. I just enjoy that wonderful fictional universe so much that I feel compelled to write my own twists.

Chapter 1: A New Day

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry opened his eyes to the comforting sight of his four-poster bed in Gryffindor Tower. His mind was swirling with the events of the past few days. Voldemort was dead. The Death Eaters were captured or fleeing.
He sat up and looked around at the dormitory. This was the first place he ever felt at home and that he belonged. Could this be the last morning that he will wake up here? He didn't attend any of this school year, but it was suppose to be his last. He did not want to go back to Privet Drive, and they wouldn't want him back there even for a brief visit. Harry dreamed about his escape from that place, but now it was a reality. He could go to Grimmauld Place, but that house with all of its Black Family Legacy is so very depressing. The possibility of him actually defeating Voldemort was so remote that he never considered what he would do afterwards.
All these thoughts about where to live and what to do for the rest of his life, he quickly pushed to the back of his mind. Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and breakfast were what he wanted to think of. He listened to hear the sounds of Ron snoring in his bed, but the room was silent. He must be at breakfast or in the common room. Harry quickly got up put on his trainers, and headed down the stairs for the common room.
Checking his watch he noticed that it was eight; breakfast time in the Great Hall. It suddenly occurred to him that there might not be breakfast with the damage to the castle. The kitchens probably had been emptied of food with yesterday's celebration. He looked across the common room and saw a gaping hole in the outside wall. Walking to the hole Harry looked out at the grounds of Hogwarts. Witches and wizards were scurrying around some cleaning up debris and some taking pictures.
