Standing in his old bedroom at the manor he once called home, Draco looked around the empty space in muggle jeans and a white button-down shirt, not really knowing how to feel. His mother, Narcissa Malfoy, had sold his childhood house to rid the nightmares that encased the halls after he had received his exam results stating he had graduated Hogwarts. With his father still in Azkaban, both Draco and his mother thought it best to let the past go and remove the walls that held them captive for too many years.

After Draco's repetitive day had ended, he became nicer to the people around him and chose to also pay more attention to his surroundings; which seemed to be his downfall during the time he had lived through the twenty-ninth of October...over and over again. He and Hermione had decided to give dating a try and he honestly had never felt happier in his life. He did have to admit however, the struggle they both went through, an ex-Death Eater courting one-third of the Golden Trio, was something that wasn't easy on either of them...more so for Hermione than for him.

His girlfriend unfortunately, was targeted for dating an old supporter of the Dark Lord, but she managed to hold her own and shoved the hateful comments to the side. She never wavered from loving him nor did she ever let anyone bring the Slytherin down. He was grateful to have her in his life; despite the way he had gained the knowledge of his affection for her.

After school had ended, the pair settled in different flats, but still relatively close to one another in wizard London, and tried their best to see each other at least twice a week. Hermione had received the job she'd dreamed about in the Ministry as the Minister of Magic's assistant, which kept her relatively busy, as Draco took over his family business with Theo as his right-hand man.

Harry went on to be top of his class in the Auror Academy as Ginny, for the time being, stayed at 12 Grimmauld Place and studied to become a Healer after James was born. Neville did his best to help the red-head with her studies as he was already going through classes to obtain a position at St. Mungo's, and her skills significantly grew.

Pansy and Blaise also moved in next door to the Gryffindor couple, unintentionally and completely by accident, however it did help form a bond between the four. Pansy swooned over James Potter as if she was a surrogate Aunt and volunteered to babysit whenever Harry and Ginny needed a break. After all, she was planning on being a stay-at-home housewife in the near future anyway after Blaise proposed to her right after the final exam of the year.

Blaise was perfectly content with Pansy not working as he was also rich, thanks to his mother and her twelve ex-husbands who all mysteriously seem to pass away at opportune times; not that he had the guts to ask his mother about the suspicious deaths and just accepted that they died from natural causes...

Ron was signed to the Chudley Cannons as their Keeper, after scouts had witnessed a perfect game back in March, and found himself a beautiful witch from Albania that actually wanted to be with him and not as a form of revenge...or for a chance to dip into his suddenly deep pockets. He moved on from Hermione and although he still loved her, he officially let her go. The red-head had also accepted Draco after a few months of mulling it over and realized the Slytherin wasn't so bad anymore. They weren't exactly friends per say, but they got on well enough during every group get together.

As for Lavender and Sadie, both girls were shunned by most of the elite witches and wizards. And since they were expelled from Hogwarts, they had found it hard to obtain a job around wizard London; more so for Lavender however, than for Sadie.
