Forever and Always<3

Chapter 1: Water Gun War

Six years had passed ever since the second war. It was a bloody one. Corpses, body parts, blood, and innards flew everywhere, making Hogwarts look as if it was a graveyard where bodies were messed up. A lot survived, living their life happily now in the present but, a lot had died, too, leaving their family members and friends mourning, up until now, for their deaths.

The Light Side had won, triumphing over the Dark Side. The Dark Lord was killed successfully by Harry Potter, The Chosen One. Before that, though, Ron Weasley was killed by Voldemort on his own hands. The Light Side rejoiced upon seeing Voldemort's own downfall. But their celebration was put into a stop once Bellatrix Lestrange, Voldemort's loyal Death Eater, killed Harry Potter out of despair for the death of her beloved Master.

That day, everybody mourned for their hero's own death.

People gathered around. They mourned, both who knew him personally and who didn't, including Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley.

Hermione's cries were heard amongst the group, parting for her to reach her dead best friends. She fell down on her knees and cried, trying to wake them up. For her, it was all a dream… a terrible dream… a nightmare. For her, it was all a terrible prank. It was as if her world crumbled into pieces once seeing them falling on the ground, lifeless… soulless. She wanted to die.

Ginny Weasley, fiancé of Harry Potter and sister of Ron Weasley, gave Hermione a pretty big slap in front of everybody. "It's your fault! It's your entire fault!" She had blamed her, Hermione – Gryffindor Lioness, best friend of The-Boy-Who-Lived, for their death. She blamed her, telling her she didn't do anything at all, that she was selfish for saving her life instead of theirs.

And then, she left Hermione Granger, all alone.

Hermione was all alone.

She had no relatives, her parents died just last summer when Voldemort and his minions barged in their own house. She was supposedly their target – their sole reason was to kill her. But fortunately, she wasn't there and killed her parents instead. It wasn't fortunate at all; she should have been there to save them. Both of her parents didn't have any siblings so, she didn't have any aunts, uncles, and cousins. Hermione was an only child and both of her grandparents in both sides were dead, too.

Her best friends left her. She was angry with them, telling them they were selfish for leaving her to journey life all alone. And now, her best girl friend left her, too, blaming her for the death of her fiancée and brother.

Most of her housemates were dead. Gryffindors fought bravely in the war, unfortunately, though, few of them survived including her.

Draco Malfoy fought for the Light Side.

His family surprisingly switched sides a few months before the second war. Lucius Malfoy, his father, served as a spy for the Order of the Phoenix. It surprised Draco that his father decided to switch sides. All his life, he believed that Lucius Malfoy was pure evil and would be Voldemort's man through and through.

He hadn't mourned for Harry Potter's and Ron Weasley's death. He never was fond of both of them, anyway. It surprised him, though, when Ginny Weasley blamed Hermione Granger for their deaths. He had watched Granger throughout the war. He had seen her saving lives… saving other people from deaths. But, she failed to save her best friends, thus, being blamed by the she-Weasley.

They gave both Gryffindors a funeral, the Ministry giving them the Order of Merlin, First Class. A lot of people attend the funeral and for appearance's sake, Draco and his family were there.
