Harry and Ginny were sitting in the living room. Ginny was on the larger of the two couchs and reading. Harry was on the smaller love seat and taking a nap. Hermione and Ron walked in and Ron couldn't believe what he saw.

"Ginny. Your on the bigger couch?" Ron asked in amazement. Hermione on the other hand was confused, a rare thing. "Whats wrong with Ginny on the larger couch?" Hermione asked.

"Well you see with our family if two people wanted to lay down on the couch the taller one would get the large/longer couch. So Ginny would aways have to take the smaller one for she is the shortest besides Mum, but Mum gets whatever chair or couch she wants." Ron explained to Hermione, which was also a rare happening.

"Well does Harry abide by these rules?" Hermione asked directing her question at both Weasley's.

"Harry is like the seventh Weasley boy. He has to play by the rules." Ron said. It was at this point when Harry woke up. Having heard his name Harry sat up and shot a confused look at Ron, not understanding what he was talking about.

"I'm explaining the rules of the couch-" Ron said to Harry. "-Now back to my original statemeant. So Ginny if your on the larger couch are you taller then Harry?"

Ginny smiled and nodded. Then she got up and pulled Harry off his couch, then she had them went back to back. Ron saw that Ginny was indeed taller then Harry. "Harry are you really that short?" Hermione asked with a smile on her face, for she never noticed how short her best friend was.

Harry back away from Ginny and turned to Hermione and answered her "Yes Hermione. I am THAT short!" Harry was blushing for now that the war was over people had started taking in details again and not just trying to stay alive, so people kept pointing out his shortness.

"Harry go back to back with Hermione. I think she might be taller then you too." Ron said while trying to surpress a laugh. Everyone turned to Harry and saw that he was blushing even more, then Harry started heading to the stairs and shouted from the landing,

"Ok we get it I'm short! Blame my dad's side of the family!"

James was walking down the stairs when he heard his son stating his opinion rather loudly. "Its true." James said as he stood next to Harry, but then he added "But I don't think I was ever this short. Well maybe in my fifth year."

Harry had started to blush again at his father's teasing, then he headed up the stairs without a back-words glance.

"Hermione I take that as he knows that your taller then him." Ron said to Hermione. Then the three friends and James had started laughing.

~The nest day~

Harry walked down the stairs for break-feast the next morning. When he walked in Ron and Ginny had suddenly gotten the case of the giggles, probably thinking about last night. Harry shot daggers at them but then sat down in-between Ginny and his mum.

"Hello Harry dear. Would you like some eggs? You are much to thin. I don't know how though I keep feeding you enough food." Mrs.Weasley said all this rather fast as she loaded Harry's plate with eggs, sunny-side up, Harry's favorite.

"Morning everyone!-" Mr.Weasley said as he got off the last landing. "We'll be leaving at 12:00 to go to the Ministry."

"Why are we going to the Ministry?" Harry and Hermione asked at the same time. Ron's answer was lost in-between his bites of food.

"You haven't told them?" Mr.Weasley asked, directing his question at his wife. "Was just about to dear." Mrs.Weasley said.

"Why are we going to the Ministry Mrs.Weasley?" Hermione asked after taking a sip of her pumkinjuice. "Oh they want to take a tally of everyone who fought in the Battle of Hogwarts." Mrs,Weasley said as she filled Harry's plate with even more eggs.

"Oh great." Harry said, for Ministry of Magic meant reporters and after all, he was the one who defeated Voldemort. Lily noticed Harry's remark and squeezed his shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll keep the reporters away. They should know better then to mess with me." Lily said to comfort her son.

Harry smiled and nodded, he had seen the way his mum could get when she was annoyed, which was mostly pointed towards Sirius' and his dad.

~The Ministry~

All the people who had fought in the battle were gathered in the basement. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the rest of the Weasley's were huddled in thge center of the room. Harry was pushed into the middle so that no unwanted reporters could bother him. To add to things Bill and Charlie had placed themselves on the outside of the pack, and by their looks no one wanted to mess with them.

"Hello everyone! Thank you are for coming. Sorry for this place of meeting but we are now heading upstairs into one of the meeting rooms where things should be a bit more comfortable." Kinglsey called out, he had just been appointed Minister of Magic a few days before.

"Now can I ask all of you to get in a single file line?" Kinglsey asked.

Everyone started to form into the line, with all the shuffling Harry, Ron, and Hermione had ended up in the middle of the line. Ron was standing in front of Harry while Hermione was behind them.

"Ok follow me." Kinglsey said and then he slowly lead them out of the basement. After opening a door that lead them into the center of the Ministry the group was greeted with a deafening applause. All the fighters were shocked, for the clapping was directed at them.

Neville, who was at the front of the line, had noticed that Kinglsey had seemed unsurprised by all the people who had gathered to greet the group.

Kinglsey then lead the line and had them standing in front of a new statue dedicated to the people lost in the war, then he did a spell that multiplied the volume of his voice "These brave men, women, and even students were all part of the battle that put an end to the war. That put an end to Voldemort. Without these amazing people we wouldn't be standing her like we are, for Voldemort would still be incontroll and would of done who knows what." Kinglsey stopped here to take a breath.

"These people are more then just fighters. They are hero's. Let us aways remember them for what they did to save our way of life." Kingsley continued and then ended. Then their was silence and then even louder clapping happened.

'Kinglsey is right.' Harry thought to himself.

'These people are hero's.'
