A/N: I own nothing but my own imagination and the plotline. I also own a new IPod :P! Everything you recognize belongs to J.K Rowling and the various bands I used for the songs, if you don't recognize it I probably made it up in my crazy head! Enjoy!

A/N: I also have a playlist for this story on youtube. There is a song for every chapter with the lyrics on the screen. So please play the song for the chapter while you read it! .com/playlist?list=PLB890C3A82B1976A9

Chapter 1: The Graduation

"Welcome to the Hogwarts Graduation Ceremony!" Headmistress McGonagall announced after everyone had taken their seats. "As you can see we have quite a few more graduates this year then in previous years, because of the final battle that happened last year we allowed all the previous 7th year students that didn't graduate to return this year to complete their education." She said as she smiled at her graduating class.

Harry yawned as he looked back to Ron, "Do you think she's trying to compete with Dumbledore on the speech?" He said laughing lightly. "Everybody knows that there are more students, did she really neeed to announce it?"

"Oh shut up Harry and listen!" Draco Malfoy whispered from a few seats over grinning at Harry. "After 7 years of listening to her drone on in class you should know by now that she can't keep anything short."

Harry laughed and turned back to the front. A strange sort of alligance had sparked up between Malfoy and the Golden Trio. After Harry had saved him the previous year, he had stopped being such a git and had taken to hanging out with the three Gryffindors. And surprisingly enough he hadn't been that bad to get along with. Ron was still convinced he was up to some evil Slytherin plan to ruin Harry's life, but Harry for one was glad for his friendship. He had become a great friend to the young man.

"...And now to the part that you've all been waiting for! As I call your name please approach the platform and recieve your deploma!" McGonagall finished with a smile drawing a long list from her pocket. "Abbott, Hannah!"

As Harry watched Hannah walk up to the stage, he lost himself in thought again. He couldn't believe that his Hogwarts years were over, and tommorrow morning he would be leaving this castle for the last time. He had been offered a teaching post for the DADA position the following year but he had to decline. He had already been excepted into the early Unspeakables training that was suppose to begin that fall, and strangely enough Draco Malfoy had been accepted along with him. Draco...after everything that had happened that year it wasn't as strange as he thought.

Glancing over at the young blonde man, he caught Dracos eye and smiled. Harry had been fighting his feelings for the blonde all year long. After Draco had finally ditched his Slytherin cronies and learned to loosen up, Harry couldn't help but notice how sexy he looked. But he knew it wouldn't happen. Draco had never shown any signs of being gay, let alone of harboring feelings for the Chosen One.

"Malfoy, Draco" Harry heard McGonagall cry and shook himself out of his stupor. It was almost his turn. He watched as Malfoy glided across the stage, got his diploma, and shook hands with all of his professors. After a few more names, it was finally Harry's turn.

"Potter, Harry!" He heard as he stood from his seat and walked to the platform in the middle of the lake. He could hear the thundering applause going on behind him as he walked up the steps.

"Congratulation Mr. Potter," McGonagall said with tears in her eyes. "You have no idea how proud we all are of you. And I'm sure your parents and Sirius are just as proud of you as we are. I can't believe you are actually graduating, I'm gonna miss having you in my school." She said as she handed him his diploma and shook his hand.

"Thanks Headmistress. I'm gonna miss being here too." He said as he made his way to the line of teachers. Shaking their hand one by one he made his way to the other side of the platform and walked back to his seat. It was over, he had actually done it, he had graduated.

He watched as the rest of his class walked across the stage one by one finally ending with "Zambini, Blaise".

"Thank you all for attending the 2012 Hogwarts Graduation Ceremony! (A/N: Yes I know its not the right year but it had to be done for some of the songs I'm gonna use. Plus its my story so HA!) Now will the graduating class please stand." She paused as she waited for them all to stand and turn towards the crowd. "I present to you the Hogwarts Graduating Class of 2012! Congratulation to you all, and may you achieve every dream you can think of!" She finished sending fireworks into the sky with her wand.

Harry was suddenly engulfed in a hug and all he could see was s mane of bushy hair. "We did it Harry! We actually graduated! I'm so excited, I just wish mom and dad could be here for this." Hermione said with a small smile. After the battle was over she had went in search of her parents and found them in Australia with three adopted kids. She lifted the memory charm but her parents had decided they liked thier life in Australia and had decided to stay there for the time being so they couldn't make it to her graduation.

Harry smiled at her, "I know what you mean Hermione. I wish my parents could be here today, even though I know they are watching me from above, I would love to see them here. Sirius too, and Remus and Tonks. I can't believe they are all gone."

Hermione gave him a small smile, "You know how proud they are of you Harry. How proud we all are of you. None of us would be here without you." She gave him another hug and walked over to where Lavender and Parvarti were standing with Ginny and started talking to them.

Harry appreciated what she was trying to do, but he still felt a little lost. He had no idea what he wanted to do now, he had always dreamed of being and Auror but after all the Ministry had done to dissprove him he couldn't trust them anymore. So he didn't want to be working for them. He had considered coming bak to Hogwarts to teach in a few years but he hadn't decided anything yet. He wished his parents or Sirius had been here to give him some advice, some guidence on what he needed to do. But he had no one, except for his friends. He still had the entire summer to decide what he wanted to do, McGonagall had already told him he would be welcomed back next year as the DADA teacher if he wishes. He just had to let her know before term started next fall.

Harry looked around at all of his friends out in the crowd with their families. He watched them all with a watery smile, it was over. His years at Hogwarts had come to an end. He was so glad he had one last night in the castle with his friends, already anticipating the party they were having in the Heads common room tonight.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed it! I'm not sure how good it actually is but my friend seemed to like it. And I promise the action will pick up next chapter. Now remember Please Review! Even just to let me know you liked or hated my chapter. Thanks!
