The Never Ending Battle - Draco x Harry {Discontinued}

Chapter 11- Graduation

HARRY POTTER, THE SAVIOR OF THE WIZARDING WORLD 

FINALLY FOUND LOVE IN NONE OTHER THAN EX-DEATH EATER

AND SON OF LUCIUS MALFOY: DRACO MALFOY.

Malfoy and Potter confessed their love for one another yesterday night over dinner

At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

After just one date, the two boys confessed their undying passion for the other

 which they shared since their first year at Hogwarts.

Their story was plastered all over the daily profit the next morning. That day was so happy, they shared their joy with all of the couples that were hanging out in Harry and Dracos dorm room which had been enlarged with a spell that Hermione learnt. Harry and Draco were sitting on the bed that they now shared. Harmione and Pansy were sitting on one side of the couch that had been transfigured from the other bed in the room, Ginny and Luna had gotten together last night and were not snuggling on the ground by the door that led to the bathroom. Blaise, who was asked Neville out last week, was sitting on the other side of the couch with his boyfriend's head in his lap. Dean and Seamus were told to leave the room when they came in to apologize about what had happened during Christmas because in everyone else's eyes they were still traitors. Ron and his new girlfriend were sitting on Harry’s desk, he had recently gotten together with a nice Hufflepuff girl named Maxine O'Flaherty. Crabbe and Goyle who had also confessed feelings for each other sat at the foot of Harry and Draco’s bed. They all chatted and gossiped about all of the new couples. Everyone was so happy that day, no an wanted it to end.In a strange way it kind of didn't, the 12 of them had 1 month until they graduated and left Hogwarts for good, every single one of them made the rest promise to keep in touch no matter where they were because they have had way to much of an eventful time at Hogwarts to lose contact with one another. The rest of the year at Hogwarts went so very smoothly, everyone got along so well, it was fantastic. Ginny and Harry made amends and became great friends again. The Slytherins had apologized from tormenting everyone else and they had been getting along great with their significant others and their friends. Graduation came sooner than expected, Sirius and Teddy came down the day before so they could spend time with Harry and his friends. 

The day came and everyone got dressed up in beautiful dresses and suits for the day that they would be saying goodbye to Hogwarts for the very last time. Before the 7th and 8th years got their diplomas for magic McGonagall asked a very special person to come make a speech, Harry James Potter. Harry walked up to the podium and looked at all of the students that were attending this wonderful school.

“I first came to this place 8 years ago and my life has never been the same. When I ran through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 for the first time I knew that this was going to be the place for me. On the train ride to this magical place I met two people that would turn out to be people who would stand by me through good times and bad. On that train ride I laughed and saw things that I didn't believe, and that would just be the start of a wonderful adventure. When I walked through the gates and saw  this huge castle I couldn't help but feel safe. The very second that the Sorting Hat told me I was a Gryffindor and I saw my new friends happy faces, I walked up and hugged them, I was so happy. I have had so many adventures here. In 1st year I found a stone that produced the elixir of life! In my second I destroyed my first Horcrux and saved Ginny Weasley from a man who I would encounter many times after that. When I was 13 years old I met my Godfather who is an animagus and wrongly convicted felon in the wizarding world, I helped hide a criminal for god's sake! My name was put in the Goblet of Fire and I was chosen to be in the most dangerous wizarding tournament of all time, not only that but I watched as the most powerful wizard of all time was brought back to life and he killed someone I had grown very close to. In 5th year I started Dumbledors army and fought death eaters off at the ministry of magic. In sixth I found a book that belonged to one of the bravest men I have ever known: Professor Snape, I also watched as that same man murdered a man I had looked up to as a father figure. When i was just 17 years old I found, and destroyed all of the remaining Horcruxes with my friends help and I gave myself up to The Dark Lord, surviving the killing curse for a second time in my life, then I went on to defeat the most powerful wizard in the world after 7 years of a constant battle. I have had some amazing moments at this school, every person here has taught me so much! Hermione, you have taught me how to live my life to the fullest and love more than I ever thought possible, you have always been like a sister to me and nothing brings me more joy than to see you smile. Ron, you never left my side, you sacrificed for me and you made me feel like I had a family when I didn't, you have been my friends since the very beginning and it will stay like that until the very end. Neville, you were the 4th person I ever met at Hogwarts and if it wasn't for you Voldemort would not be dead, you took the last blow andIi will never be able to thank you enough for that. Luna, you made me feel sane even when I wasn't, you listened to my rants and my crazy theories, you have always been there whenever I needed you, you are so brave and cunning, Luna you are every Hogwarts house combined. Ginny, we have had our ups and downs but you stayed by my side when it really mattered, when I am with you I feel safe, I don't know what I would do without you. Dumbledore, (they brought his portrait to the graduation so he could watch) You were like the father i never had, you helped he through some of the toughest times in my life, you sacrificed your life so I could win the war, it would take me 1000 lives to repay you for the kindness you've shown me. Snape, at first I didn't like you, I thought you were arrogant and biased against me, but then I learned all of the sacrifices in your life you made for me and my family. You risked your own happiness to see Lily, the woman you loved dearly, happy. You are an of the bravest people l have ever known and nothing will change that. McGonagall, you were like a mother to me, you disciplined me when needed and helped me through crisis, you have taken fantastic care of Hogwarts and I have full confidence that you will continue to do so. Draco Malfoy, I first met you 8 years ago in Madame Malkin’s robe shop and I immediately fell in love with you, the second I laid eyes on you I knew that you were my soulmate. Everytime we fought it broke my heart, but I craved interaction with you. I love everything about you to you beautiful silver eyes to you wavy bleach blonde hair. My life has been a rollercoaster of emotions ever since I met you, you alone made me realize what it means to love and hate, to fear and crave. I love you so much and I couldn't imagine living another day without you. I never want to lose you again. You are my everything love. Thank you all for the unconditional love you have given me. I love you all more than you could ever imagine. You are the most important things in my life. I could never imagine losing you and I never plan on it. As I walk across this stage I am reminded of the wonderful memories I have of this place. Hogwarts is my home and that will never change. I belong here because of everything people can become with their time here, because of everything I have felt here, because this is where I met my true family. This school holds a very special place in my heart I have accomplished so much here, my life will never be the same because of the people and places this place has opened me up to. I love you guys so much, Thank you.” Harry finished having himself and everyone around him in tears. 

Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Luna, Neville, Pansy, Blaise, and Draco walked across the stage and took their diplomas. They were all crying by the time the graduation ceremony was over. Harry, Sirius, and Remus were all in a ball crying, they were all so happy for Harry. For Harry the feeling was bittersweet because Harry really didn't want to leave Hogwarts, he wished there was a way he could have a career and still be close to Hogwarts. 

“Mister Potter, May i speak to you?” McGonagall asked Harry, Harry got up and followed McGonagall.

“What’s up Minnie?” Harry asked.

“As you know Harry the Ministry is offering all of the 8th year graduates a job as an Auror, however I would like to make an offer to you and your friends. If you would like to have a job at Hogwarts as a teacher or even the Vice Headmaster I am offering you that now, I understand if you decline because an automatic position as an Auror is a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Minerva said.

“Minne, I would love a chance to work here!” Harry said happily.

“Wonderful Harry!, what position would you like?” She said.

“Defence Against the Dark Arts if possible, I would love to teach kids how to protect themselves using the knowledge I’ve gained.” Harry said.

“The position is all yours.” Minnie said, pulling Harry into a hug.

“I’ll go let the group know.” Harry said. He ran back over to the group of his friends and family.

“What did she want?” Ginny asked quietly.

“Minnie offered us all jobs as professors!” Harry said grinning from ear to ear.

“What!, Oh that's wonderful!” Hermione said. After conversing for a bit the group of them ran to find Minerva.
“Professor, I would love the position as charms teacher!” Hermione said, stopping McGonagall.

“Wonderful, anyone else. Oh and please call me Minerva” She said.

“I would like to take the place of my Uncle Sev. as Potions Master” Draco said, Minnie nodded at him.

“Transfiguration?” Pansy questioned, followed by another nod.

“Care of Magical Creatures please.” Ginny said, Minerva nodded again.

“Divination for me and Nevvile would like Herbology.” Luna said and Neville nodded.

“Fantastic, it's going to be great having you all here.” McGonagall said smiling.

“And I would like to formally submit my resignation, so I can spend more time at home with Sirius and Teddy.” Remus said

“Alrighty then. You all will receive mail updating you on when you will come to the school in three months, If anyone changes their minds and would like a job feel free to contact me.” Minerva said before walking away.

“We're gonna work at home guys” Ginny said before pulling everyone who had taken a teaching position into a tight hug. Ron and Blaise decided to take Auror positions and Crabbe decided to go into Magical Law Enforcement and Goyle decided to learn more about Muggle Studies by interning at Hogwarts. They were all so excited to have careers. They all knew that this summer was going to be a great one.

This chapter was by far my favorite to write.
I felt like I was expressing my love for harry potter in this chapter.
If you are wondering I am a Gryffindor.
