Hermione POV

The next morning, I woke up in our bed to find more of the cutest things that I'd get to see more. Anne was asleep as well as Y/N, but Anne was holding on to Y/N and also held on to my hands which were wrapped around her. It was one of the cutest things I've seen. Since we were all close together, I kissed Anne's head and rubbed Y/N's cheek.

I saw Y/N's face turn to a small smile as his eyes opened and he gently took hold of my hand. "Hey..." He said in a soft tone and kissed my hand. "How'd you sleep?"

"Wonderfully." I whispered, hoping not to wake Anne up. "I told you Anne likes to hug us in her sleep." Y/N looked down to find her softly snoring and snuggled on him.

"Aww, she's adorable." Y/N whispered. "That reminds me, I have to talk with Ginny about her trying out." He laughed silently as he brushed some hair that had fallen on Anne's face since she was asleep. "I'm so proud of her, you know? Learning the Patronus charm when she was a first year, becoming an Animagus, and now she's learning Quidditch. I couldn't be prouder of our little pup."

"Spoken like a true father, haven't you?" I chuckled. "I'm proud of her too. Just proud as you are." Y/N and I sat up in the bed after a while, we did wake a little later, so most people would be awake by now. Y/N got up after a while, grabbed his broomstick and slung it over his back.

"I'll go and see if I can find Ginny." He said before he left. "After that, I'll wait for you both at the pitch, okay with you, Love?"

"Sounds good with me." I said to him. "We'll be there, and I'll let her know about Quidditch when she wakes up." I said as Anne was still asleep. "Do eat something before you ask Ginny, we just woke up."

"Will do." He said as he got closer to me. "Anything else from the future Mrs. Lovegood-Granger?

I giggled a little as he spoke. "More of what you can do for me, babe," I smirked. "Could you give me a good morning kiss?"

He smiled, inched closer and pressed his lips on mine, and they were soft and gentle on mine with more passion and love behind them. As he finished, he smiled again and I hugged him before he left.

"I love you." I muttered in his chest as he returned it and rubbed my back.

"I love you too, Hermione." He said with a kiss on my forehead. Before he left the dorm, he walked back to Anne and kissed her forehead too. "See you soon, pup." He whispered to her.

As he left, I sat in bed as Anne now turned to my side. I waited for a while and soon enough, she stirred awake and faced me. "Hi, Mum." She said softly as I smiled at her.

"Hey, honey." I said just as soft as her. "How did you sleep?"

"It's comfy here." She said as she laid down on my leg. "It's cool you and Dad have a dorm to yourselves."

"Privileges when it's your final year here." I giggled. "Now that I think of it, how will you be when Y/N, Lana and I graduate and won't be here next year?"

"I'd miss you all." Anne muttered. "But Aunt Luna will be here, right?"

"I suppose so." I said. "Besides, your grandmother is the Headmistress, so you'd still have family here."

"I guess so." Anne remarked. "And I have another question to ask..., if it's okay with you?"

"I don't mind, sweetie." I said warmly to her.

"If you and Dad choose to have kids..." She asked me before drifting off for a moment. "Do you think I'll be a good older sister?"

I smiled at her as she sat up and leaned on me. "Well, Y/N and I do want to have kids -- you're our daughter, of course --, but of course you will be. Something tells me you'll be the best."

"Thanks, mum." She said with a small blush. "Where's Dad?"

"He's gone to talk with Ginny." I answered. "He said to meet him on the pitch later. We'll go after breakfast."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a good breakfast, Anne and I went to the Quidditch Pitch, where Y/N was out, holding a chest as Ginny followed after with two broomsticks in her hands. Ginny was still a little tense in filling her boyfriend's shoes as Seeker and Captain from what she's told me. As we arrived, I wished her good luck and sat by the bleachers, watching them.

Anne POV

As we entered the pitch, I saw Dad and Ginny talking as they got everything up and ready. I liked Ginny, she, Luna and Neville were really nice to me when the others were hunting down the Horcruxes. I got closer to Ginny during that time and she was still nice to me.

"I think it's nice that you want to teach her Quidditch." I heard Ginny say to Y/N.

"Oh, she wanted to learn." Y/N said to her. "She wants to play as Chaser."

"Hey, dad!" I said as it grabbed his attention and he smiled as he saw me. I ran up to him and engulfed him in a tight hug. "Hey, pup." He said to me and ruffled my hair.

"You know, it's so weird to see you as a dad, Y/N." Ginny chuckled as we separated. "I've known you for years! But I'm glad Anne's a part of your family now."

"Oh, just wait." Y/N chuckled. "If things go well with you and Harry, who knows? You might be her aunt."

Ginny chuckled as well. "I mean, Harry and I are doing great." She said with a smile. "He seems really happy, and he's been writing to me nearly everyday. But now..." She said as she turned to me. "Let's teach a future Chaser, huh?"

I looked back at Hermione, who assured me with a warm motherly smile at me and nodded as I walked forward to the broom Ginny set down for me. Y/N had done the same with his broom and put his hand over it, directing me to do the same. "So... what you want to do is have your arm out like so..." Y/N said as I did the same. "And you say, 'Up!' and hopefully, the broom will shoot up in your hand."

I looked back at the broom and said, "Up!" The broom didn't shoot up.

"Up!"

"Up!

"Uppppp!"

"UP!"

The broom still didn't shoot up. I was a little upset that it didn't shoot up, and Dad saw my frustration. "Hey, hey, it's okay." He said as he put his hands on my shoulders. "Not everyone gets it up on their first try. It took me a couple of tries when I first did it, and when your mum tried for the first time, the same happened with her."

"Try it like this." He said as he took his broomstick and moved it in front of me. He placed it down and put his arm over it. "You want to have it in your hand, right? You have to say it, you have to want the broom in your hand. So, try again... but this time, with a lot of determination. You got it, pup."

After he said that, he reassured me with a smile and I looked back at the broom with more determination as I raised my hand over it.
"Make sure you close your eyes, Anne." Dad said calmly. I closed them and did as he said and I yelled, "Up!" and I felt something shoot up quickly into my hand, and as I opened one of my eyes, I saw the broomstick in my hand, magically rising into it. Dad was smiling and clapping and Mum had an excited look on her face.

"Good job!" Dad cheered me on. "But now comes the hard part... flying. But Ginny and I are here to help." He then mounted his broomstick as Ginny did the same. I did the same and I felt my feet rise off the ground. "You're doing good!" Ginny cheered me on. "Now we're going to show you everything about Quidditch." She opened the chest and pulled out the biggest ball, which I knew was the Quaffle. "I'm sure you know what this is!" Ginny said.

"A Quaffle?" I asked?

"Exactly!" Ginny exclaimed. "This is what you, your dad, and Dean will be focusing on. You have to shoot it through the other hoops without the other keeper blocking them. This is what I want you to focus on. I'm sure you know about the Bludger and the Snitch."

I definitely do. After hearing Hermione talk about Y/N's past Quidditch matches, bludgers do not sound good for him. And that Cormac person just hurling it at him too... I hated him more after that. When he was around, I always told him to piss off or I'd kick him where the sun don't shine.

Ginny released the Quaffle in the air, and just as if it were instinct, I sped off and Dad followed in pursuit, but I grabbed the Quaffle first and scored it, earning some points. As we made our little mini-match, Dad had scored some points as well and it was enough to get tied. With one final toss in the hoop, I was declared the winner of the match.

As we set down on the ground again, Dad walked over and hugged me. "You did really good, pup!" He said delighted. "I'd bet you'll be the next chaser on the team."

"And she will be." Ginny said. "From what I've seen, she's absolutely talented for Quidditch. She is definitely our new chaser." I beamed with excitement as Hermione came behind me, wrapped me in a hug and kissed my head.

"Also, Y/N, I have a question for you." Ginny said.
"Go on ahead." Y/N answered, before his brows curled up. "Is this about Harry?"

"Oh, no. I told you, Harry and I are doing okay." Ginny chuckled again. "I wanted to ask... since I'm seeker and captain, I feel it might be hard to lead the team and since you're one of the originals left... how would you like to be co-captain?"

Y/N looked surprised. He stood in silence until he took a deep breath and said. "I'll be honored to."

Ginny smiled and shook his hand, sealing the deal. This ought to be interesting, my dad's now co-captain and I'm a Chaser. I wonder what's they'd put on my jersey... "Lovegood-Granger"?

We'd have to see.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple of days later, Grandma let the older students go to Hogsmeade later in the evening. Dad had a plan that he told me about, but it was another surprise for Mum. Since Jason and I were among the younger students, we stayed back but from what Dad told me, Mum was sure to love it.

Jason and I were playing Wizard's Chess to pass the time. Aunt Lana taught me over the summer and I've played a couple matches with her to pass some time. Jason seemed to get the gist of it, but I kept winning at every match.

"Come on!" he whined. "You know this game better!"

"You have to keep practicing if you want to beat me at this game." I teased him as I noticed Mum walked in and looked around. "Hey, Anne?" She asked as she turned to us. "Have you seen Y/N around anywhere? We're supposed to go, but I can't find him anywhere."

"Not right at the moment, no." I said.

"Jason?" Hermione asked him after me. "Have you seen him?"

"Can't say that I have." He answered. We've both been sworn to secrecy that we wouldn't tell her, that would ruin the surprise. He had been planning this with Draco, who kindly offered to help him out. Aunt Lana told me he was actually their cousin, which was very odd.

"Although, He did tell us something." I mentioned. "He said to meet with Grandma and Aunt Lana first, she'd tell you where he is."

"What is he doing?" Hermione smiled to herself and put her hands at her waist. "I should go and see then. In the meantime..." She said as she hugged me. "You both take care. I'll see you soon, pup." She kissed my head and smiled as she waved goodbye.

"I still can't get over the fact your family is the Golden Quintet..." Jason grinned. "And your grandmother's the Headmistress of Hogwarts!"

"Me either." I smiled. "They're amazing."

Hermione POV

After I talked with Anne and Jason, I headed over to the Headmistress's office, where Addison was with Professors Slughorn and Flitwick, talking to someone in the office. Addison and Flitwick were talking to the student and Slughorn was at work on a Potion.

"So, what you must do now is take the potion that Professor Slughorn has given you." Addison assured the student calmly. "But do not consume it yet! Professor Flitwick will guide you down to the Shrieking Shack safely before your transformation begins. He will come back in the morning to collect you. Best of luck to you, Mr. Colfax." She patted Barton's shoulder as Slughorn gave him a flask and Flitwick escorted him out the doors.

"Once again, Professor Slughorn, Professor Flitwick," She said to them before they left. "I appreciate your help. I want to do anything to help ensure and protect these children."

"Of course, Headmistress." Slughorn said as he shook her hand. Professor Flitwick was nearly emotional.

"I still cannot believe it." He said as there were some tears coming out of his eyes and he rubbed them with his coat. "One of my students from my house... is now the Headmistress of Hogwarts! You've grown so much, Addison, and I cannot be prouder."

(A/N: Flitwick, you absolute lad!)

Addison smiled at him. "Thank you very much, Professor Flitwick."

"You are making Dumbledore proud." Flitwick said with pride. "Horace and I shall take our leave and help Mr. Colfax." As they left, Addison put her attention on me and smiled. "Hermione! What can I do for you?" She eagerly asked me as she took a seat and ushered me to take one myself.

"Oh, yes." I said as I brushed some hair off my face. "What was going on just now?"

"Oh, Adam there was unfortunately one of Greyback's victims." Addison said solemnly. "He is due to turn tonight, so he had reached out and Slughorn gladly brewed a Wolfsbane Potion for him. Frankly, I'm quite glad Y/N got rid of Greyback at the Battle."

I nearly forgot Y/N killed Greyback after he attacked Lavender. Unfortunately, she had died of her injuries after the battle. I honestly felt bad for her.

"But yes, what can I do for you?" She asked again.

"I was wondering..." I asked her. "Have you seen Y/N? I can't find him anywhere."

"Oh, about that..." She said to me. "He's at Hogsmeade, waiting for you. With a rather pleasant surprise for you."

"And I'll take you to him." Lana said from behind me. She wasn't in the room before...

"When did you come in?" I asked.
"I used the ring I have?" Lana said as she held her hand with the ring Dumbledore had given them years before. "Besides, Y/N has something really, really special for you, and Draco helped him out. Draco and I are going to be giving you hints for this as well."

Hints? What is going on at this point? Everyone's been so secretive...

"Don't worry." Addison said as she read my mind. "He wants it to be perfect for you. Lana and Draco are going to help you."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Addison told me what we had to do, Lana and I joined with Draco, who was very, very nice now. He even called me by my name instead of "Granger". We all arrived at Hogsmeade where there was a note waiting for me on a sigh post.

Draco walked up to it, removed it from the post, and handed it to me as I read out what laid inside.

Dear Hermione, my future wife,

I thought I would make a little scavenger hunt for you for this, but I guarantee you, I bet you'd love this. Through this, you'll collect clues from locations you know here at Hogwarts. In the end, there will be something special for you. If you need help with this hunt, Draco and Lana are there, but only to give you hints. Happy hunting, Love. And best of luck!

Love, Y/N

Your future husband :)

I missed his letters to me, I've always loved getting them. Even if this was for a scavenger hunt, I'll keep it.

P.S, your first clue is... when we came here for the first time, what was the most special thing that happened here?

"Most special thing here..." I muttered.

"Well, that can't be when I caught you both snogging in front of the Shrieking Shack." Draco said. "Again, very sorry about that. But that was our second trip here, wasn't it?"

"Well, Hermione..." Lana said to me. "What did happen on your first Hogsmeade date with my brother?"

"We..." I muttered before it came to me. "We met Snuffles here! Does that mean we have to go to the spot where we found him?"

"Seems likely." Draco said as he looked at that corner. "Looks like there's something there for you."

We made our way to the next clue and I picked it up.

Okay, okay, that was an easy one, ha-ha!

I couldn't forget our little Niffler. Alright, onto your next clue!

These are all location-based but all are within Hogwarts. So, the place where we met our fine, feathery friend, a great Hippogriff, may he rest in peace.

Where was the place we first met Buckbeak?

Also, I'm not the best at making riddles, so this would have to do. But I hope it delivers the same amount of surprise for you.

'Aw, Y/N.' I thought to myself. 'This is perfect. I'm loving it.'

(A/N: I regret killing Buckbeak. But what I DON'T regret... is killing the toad. I'm proud of that)

"So the Forbidden Forest?" I asked them as Lana nodded.

"Now that I remember most of these..." Draco said. "Why was I such a dick?"

"Your parents are dicks." Lana said. "But you're changing and that's a good thing. Malfoy Manor still being renovated?"

"Yeah, it's still going through changes." Draco said as he brushed his hair, not so much like how it was last year, almost like Y/N's. "Hopefully, it will be ready in time for Teddy when he comes."

We then made our way to the place where Hagrid had his first class years ago. The pen was empty as it was evening time, and Buckbeak was in a better place. We also buried him with Percy and Dobby. He was a brave Hippogriff, his death had hurt Y/N and Hagrid a lot.

As we arrived, something I didn't expect happened. A patronus flew through the air, taking the form of a wolf and landed on the ground, walking toward a tree with a note on it. As we walked forward to the note, the wolf looked at us, and scurried away. Y/N must be watching and helping a little.

Congratulations! You found the next clue!

Now this... we've spent many of our years in this place. Nearly every year, we have visited this place. For whatever happens, we always find ourselves in this room every year. Sometimes we've snogged in there, sometimes it was just for what we needed. Loads of memories there... But I'll always remember the moments we had in our 3rd year there.

"What would that be?" Draco asked.

"That clever boy..." I smirked. "He means the library. In third year, we always hung out there when Harry and Ron weren't talking to us. He always kept me company there."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had visited the library and retrieved the next clue. I'm definitely keeping these notes. Lana told me that it wasn't supposed to take the whole night and there were only two locations to go to after the Library.

I know this is short, but worth it in the long run.

The penultimate clue is this...

The one special night that changed both our lives forever.

"Of course..." I smiled to myself. "The Yule Ball." I loved that night, when Y/N and I said those three simple, yet powerfully magic words. In the beautiful moonlight and his magnificent silver eyes. And that time, we both said to each other...

I love you.

Everytime I hear it from him, it makes my heart flutter with joy and I want to kiss him. Just let him wrap his arms around me and rest his head on my shoulder. And he could do that for the rest of our lives.

"I actually don't know where this is." Lana said. "Where did you go when Y/N confessed his feelings for you?"

I smiled. "The gardens, outside the Great Hall. We were dancing together to some music from a Walkman."

"After Weasley, -- I mean, Ron," Draco said, correcting himself. "Was acting like a dick?"

Lana looked surprised. "You saw that?"

"Who didn't see that?" Draco said to her. "If the Slytherins didn't like any of the Weasleys, they didn't like Ron either after that. But they're warming up on me. Especially those twins..."

"But Y/N is certainly a romantic, isn't he?" Draco smirked. "Doing this, and everything else I heard... I hope I can be something like that."

"Don't worry about it, Draco." Lana said. "You'll find someone right for you."

"Yeah, hope so..." He said. "I think that Greengrass girl's been eyeing in class..."

"Daphne?" I asked him.

"Astoria." He corrected me. "Not sure why..."

We then continued to the gardens, where Y/N and I danced in during the Yule Ball. It looked untouched, as if none of the damage even wreaked it before it was rebuilt. And just as I remembered it.

This time an otter flew in and ran towards another letter. Again, Y/N must be close enough for his patronus to change between his and mine. Mine turns into a wolf and then into an otter, like a cycle. The otter then chirped at me and flew away.

"I have to admit..." Draco said. "The patronus is a nice touch."

As I opened it, I found the last clue, which it read.

You're so close!

Now only one last clue. (I hope you're not tired by this, 'Mione.)

This is the place you were so excited to see. But if we both remember correctly, we both had the most unexpected moment.

Head back to the place where we had our first kiss.

I'll be there waiting for you there. I really hope you liked this.

Love, Y/N.

"I can get you there a bit faster than walking." Lana said as she raised her arms. "You both hang on. Draco, I hope you can handle this."

"I've apparated with Death Eaters before." Draco said. "I think I can handle this."

"Oh, but we're not apparating." Lana smirked.

"Wait, what --" As Draco and I took hold of Lana's arms, we were whoosed back to Hogsmeade. We let go and Draco seemed fine. He's taken a Portkey before, right?

"Draco, Y/N and I have a ring that acts as an Unlimited Portkey." Lana explained as Draco questioned how we got here without apparating. "It doesn't need a time or place, just the thought of the place."

I looked around to find ourselves right in front of the Shrieking Shack. Hogsmeade was all lit up with warm lights and the night sky.

It was so beautiful. I loved every bit of it.

"I do hope you enjoyed the scavenger hunt I set for you." I heard a voice behind me say, revealing Y/N with a bouquet of roses in his hands.

Y/N POV

It was finally time. The scavenger hunt I set should be perfect for this. Hermione was in front of me, beautiful as always, and smiled at me as I stepped forward to her.

"I liked it, honestly." She said to me as she hugged me. "Made me remember all the good memories we've had together."

"I hoped it would." I said as our foreheads pressed together and our noses slightly brushed against each other. "Thought I'd do a little something special for the woman I'm going to spend the rest of my life with."

"But what was it all for?" She asked as I handed her the bouquet. "Making me go to spots in Hogwarts we had good memories with?"

"Wel, that's the thing." I smiled at her. "I assume you know the positions in Quidditch right?"

"Of course, I do, you prat." She said with a teasing smile. "I played as Chaser, remember?"

"Of course, you remember." I said to her and kissed her. "But the others, I mean."

"Yes...?" Hermione asked with a look of confusion.

"I essentially had you do what the names are for each position." I explained. "Although, you weren't keeping anything away, but you kept each clue, you chased the hints through Hogwarts and you're seeking the surprise I have for you." I said as I secretly removed an object small enough to be concealed in my coat.

"And as a Seeker..." I said as I held the object in my hand. "You were looking for this." And none other than a Snitch was in my hand. A Snitch I made myself.

"And before you say anything, it is not a regular Snitch." I said as I showed her the Snitch. "This... this is what I would have done if we weren't running from Death Eaters or running from death at every bloody turn we took." I kept rolling the "Snitch" in my hand.

"But... I'd like to do it again." I said. "This time, how I pictured it to go." With the Snitch in my hand, I took hers in mine and looked in her brown, beautiful eyes. "If you don't mind?" Her eyes twinkled in the moonlight as she nodded.

"Well then." I said as I took a deep breath. "Though I have lots of things to say, but my words are hiding from me and I cannot express them each time I look at you. To put it simply, I love you. Today, always and Forever."

"Ever since we literally ran into each other all those years ago, I've adored you. Through each year, that admiration for you blossomed. And that blossomed into love. And when I acted on it, you could not imagine the surprise I had when you said the same thing to me. And from that day, I became the happiest boyfriend ever."

"And as time went on, I've cherished every moment I've had with you. You've been there to support me through everything, been there when I needed help, and most of all, you weren't just my girlfriend, you were my best friend. And that made me realize something."

"Every morning when I wake up, you're the first person I wanna see. I wanna be the one to kiss you goodnight every single night. I wanna be the person you look to for comfort at anytime you need it. I wanna be there for you... and our children. And no matter what happens, I know you'll always be the one for me."

Hermione had tears streaming down her face as I felt people watching us. The Shrieking Shack was near the TotalPeace Library, so there was no doubt Sam, Mia and Kieran were watching as well. But I couldn't blame Hermione. I had tears coming out of my eyes too. My voice was a little cracky as I spoke up again.

"A-And I k-know..." I said as I wiped both our tears. "I've asked before, but I feel that wasn't enough to tell you that night. You've -- you've really taken my heart, Hermione Granger. And it belongs to you. And there could be some much more I can say, --- a thousand words --- that all say one single phrase."

"I love you."

Hermione placed her hands on my cheeks as Lana was getting giddy and Draco was smiling while trying to calm her down.

"But enough with the sappy stuff." I said with a smile. "I want to spend my life with you and raise our children together. So with that, for the second time..." I said as I got on one knee, pressed the top of the "Snitch", and as I said, it was no ordinary Snitch.

It really had something inside. A soft black velvet interior that held not one ring... but two. One for Hermione, One for me.

"Hermione Granger, will you marry me?"

Hermione looked at me as the "Snitch" was open with the rings facing her. She was speechless, but the up-and-down motion of her head with a wide smile told me all I needed to know.

As I stood up off my knee, she ran into me and crashed her lips into mine as the bystanders were cheering and clapping for both of us. Draco and Lana were clapping as well, and they got to see this one as well. Other students had witnessed it too, Neville and Luna were smiling at the both of us, Ginny was one of the loudest clappers in the crowd and the Gryffindor boys were howling with cheers. If Anne were here to see this, she would be cheering with Ginny as well. As the noise died away, the crowd had congratulated us as Hermione held one to me.

"You...are...such...a...romantic idiot, aren't you?" She said with a smile on her face.

"Of course, I am." I said before kissing her. "But I'm your idiot."

"And you always will be." She grinned and continued to kiss me.

"Discounts for the lovely couple!" I heard a voice from the Library say aloud. Was that Mia?

"Are you going to do something about her doing that?" Someone else said. "You are her boyfriend, Sam."

"Nah, Kieran." Sam said to him. "It feels right. Besides, I love my crazy girlfriend."

Yep, definitely Mia.

"Hey, Draco?" I asked him. "Can I talk with you?"

Draco nodded as I led him away from the Shrieking Shack. "That was... mental." He said. "But incredible, mate."

"You know, I'm really liking you turning a new leaf." I chuckled as I put my hand on his shoulder. "But really, I've got to thank you for helping me out here."

"Oh yeah, no problem." He said.
"But I want to ask you... do you want to come to the wedding?" I asked. Draco looked perplexed for a moment. "You -- you want me to come to your wedding?"

"Draco, of course." I said. "Despite everything, you're still family. You deserve to come. And with us boys, I believe a bachelor party would be in order or so. I'd have to check with the girls."

Draco thought long and hard until he spoke up. "Yeah, I'll come."

"Perfect, mate!" I said. "Now... we have all night to see what Hogsmeade has to offer at night, let's join the ladies."

As we came back, Lana had revealed that Hermione had asked her to be her maid-of-honor, and she had said "yes". She was planning it, so only fair she was maid-of-honor.

3rd POV

As Y/N, Draco, Lana and Hermione went off to explore Hogsmeade, Samuel Auras went inside the Library to see what his girlfriend, Mia Blackwood was up to, leaving Kieran Winstons to watch Hogsmeade. It was truly a gift, having customers at this hour of night. It felt nice to him, seeing all these people out.

The former Gryffindor student stood outside, with a nice glass of Butterbeer to warm him up. He watched outside a little more as he waited for a copy of the Evening Prophet. He heard there were some new reporters, but unfortunately, Rita Skeeter was still a reporter. And A biased one at that. He hated Skeeter with a passion, but he knew Sam and Mia hated her more.

Nearly all the Misfits hated her.

She was the only person that Ashley would actually hurt. And Ashley doesn't like to hurt people.

But he decided not to dwell on it. He decided to think about his friends. Sam was like a brother to him and Sam had made it clear he thought the same, despite Kieran being younger. And like Sam, Mia was just as supportive as him. He liked the two of them together, they've been dating since their third year.

As Kieran kept pondering, the Evening Prophet finally flew in and he set down his glass of Butterbeer and opened the Prophet, skimming through the articles.

LOVEGOOD TWINS GIVEN FULL PARDON BY MINSTER KINGSLEY DUE TO WITNESS AND PENSIEVE TESTIMONY

Turns out the twins won't have a trial for Umbridge. Harry and Ron had testified on their behalf on Umbridge's actions at Hogwarts and the twins had sent a memory flask, revealing Dolores Umbridge was indeed using the Killing Curse. Too bad she was too dead and they no longer were used at Azkaban, cause if she was alive, she would be given to the Dementors.

But let's be honest. Even the Dementors wouldn't want to kiss Umbridge.

MINISTER SAID TO ESTABLISH NEW LAWS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE WIZARDING WORLD.

TOTALPEACE LIBRARY TOP BOOKSTORE IN DIAGON ALLEY, SAID TO POSSIBLY PUT FLOURISH AND BLOTTS OUT OF BUSINESS AND MAKE DEAL WITH HONEYDUKES.

"Good on them." Kieran muttered as he sipped more Butterbeer. "We definitely need to see them again."

But his eyes stopped and widened as he saw one headline that genuinely made him surprised. "No..." He said to himself. "They were there... How did they --"

His Butterbeer dropped and the glass shattered while the yellowish-caramel liquid slopped on the ground, but Kieran was too invested in the article.

"What the hell..." He said again. "But he died..." He barged back into the shop and yelled. "SAM! MIA! YOU NEED TO SEE THIS!" He really hoped he didn't interrupt them snogging. Or something else he didn't need to see.

"Bloody hell..." Sam said as he groaned and Mia followed after, a little disappointed. "What happened that you've had to yell?"

"Sorry, really sorry." Kieran said as Mia sent a deathly glare. "But you won't believe this. The asshole's alive. And he broke out of Azkaban. Mia, I'm so sorry."

He handed the parchment to Mia as Sam watched with her. Mia had the same reaction as she laid her eyes on those two men on the wanted poster. She was breathing hard, and Sam looked concerned as he looked at the parchment and back to Mia, who was hyperventilating. Mia handed him the paper as Sam put it down and put his attention on the dark-haired girl as he hugged her and kissed her forehead.

"They really broke out?" Sam asked as Mia held on for dear life. "But how?"

"Must be when Voldy-Moldy got Bellatrix out of there." Kieran deduced. "And the other one's out too. Must be working for that one loyalist of Voldemort's."

"Mia?" Sam asked her as her head was pressed against his chest. "You gonna be okay, babe?"

"I-I-I don't know." She said softly. "My uncle's back..."

"How about we do this?" Sam said softly. "We can close early for the night, Hogwarts students must be going back to the castle. We can go home, and you can hug and cuddle me as long as you want? Whatever?"

Mia nodded as Sam turned to Kieran and nodded. "Right, just wait for us." Sam said to her before turning back. "We have to burn it. And tell the headmistress for Hogwarts to be alert in case." Sam then kissed Mia and told her to wait as Kieran took the parchment and threw it into an empty bin, and put it away to make sure the fire didn't spread.

"Incendio." The boys said quietly as the parchment blazed with fire. They decided to leave and let the parchment burn.

As the parchment continued to burn, two names were visible.

Daylin Talon. One of Voldemort's Death Eaters, and just as crazy as the deceased Bellatrix Lestrange. A secret Death Eater that no-one knew about, some Death Eaters never knew about him. And the thing was... He was Mia Blackwood's uncle.

(A/N: Face-claim: Anthony Starr as Daylin Talon)

Another name, Declan Zephyr. More calmer than Talon, and more concentrated with his kills. Both he and Daylin worked under a loyalist Death Eater that no Auror had been able to catch. Anonymously giving orders to them.

(A/N: Jason Statham as Declan Zephyr)

But both had escaped Azkaban... and both were deadly.

Let us hope that they don't try anything...
