Harry's pov:

"We did it guys! We did it!" Hermione cheered as we got our exam results. "We're graduating!" We all cheered. This was it. We were graduating hogwarts, next year I was going to be a professor. Ron and Hermione were right by my side where they belonged. Draco Malfoy was my boyfriend. Everything was going exactly how it should.

"I can't believe we're graduating on Friday." I said barely above a whisper, "I didn't even think I'd be alive for this." Hermione gave me a hug, and Draco smiled sadly at me. "You're Harry James Potter the boy who won't fucking die, I knew you'd make it." I chuckled at this, shoving him playfully but not letting go of Hermione. I looked over at Ron and smiled, waving him in. He came over and hugged the other side of me. "Draco can you take our end of year photo, we've done one every year." He smiled and complied happily.

I kissed Ron and Hermione's heads, "no matter what happens in life. I want you prats by my side." Ron ruffled my hair, "you can't get rid of us that easy Harry, you're stuck with us for life." Hermione nodded, "yeah Harry we didn't deal with your ridiculous life for seven years to stop talking to you now." I chuckled and rolled my eyes, "git." I looked over at Draco, "so professor Malfoy, are you excited to be graduating."

"Oh you have no idea professor potter." Ron gagged, "you blokes and your love. Bloody disgusting." We all laughed and I threw a pillow at Ron. "Imagine what the poor students will have to endure." Hermione added, making me laugh. I smiled softly looking at my family. We'd been through hell and back together, but we were here and happy now.

It was time. We were all lined up and ready to graduate. I was nervous to say the least. I hoped that my parents were proud, that they were watching me right now. I wished nothing more but for them to be there, but their words in the forest all those months ago stuck with me. They were always by my side even when I couldn't see them. I hoped I had made Remus and Sirius proud, even though Sirius hasn't stopped sobbing since they arrived, so I think I did good at that. I hoped that I set a good example in life for little Teddy. The seventh year valedictorian speech ended and I started paying more attention as I knew it was Hermione's turn.

"Now for our eighth year valedictorian speech, Hermione Granger." Hermione walked over stiffly, obviously nervous. "To the newly graduated, I wish to say good luck. Our journey has not been easy, we all have endured pain and loss and heartbreak over our years. I want to give a big thank you to headmistress McGonagall, for she has been one of the only adults who protected us and stood by us, she remembered what no one else seemed to be able to. We were children. Now we are adults, and it's scary to me to stand here making this speech.

My biggest fear has always been not succeeding, but here we are. We all succeeded. We all made it even when the world seemed to have all odds against us. If I can give any advice to the younger years it is this, studying and doing your work is important, but so is family and friendship. Get rid of the house rivalry's, set an example for the future of the wizarding world. Change starts with us. Good luck to you all."

The great hall erupted into cheers, and I had to wipe a couple tears myself. Change starts with us. I loved every line she said. They announced all of our names, one by one and we all cried. I felt disgustingly emotional and bittersweet. I finally made it.

After graduation ended, we headed to pack and all floo'd to my house. Remus and Sirius wanted to host a small get together, telling us all how proud they were of us. Me and Sirius had a long hug and sob session, and Remus just handed me some chocolate and winked letting me know how proud my parents were. That caused more sobbing from me and Sirius.

Teddy was currently babbling at Draco, hair a bright blonde and Draco was adoring it. Me, Ron, and Hermione were telling Pansy, Neville, Lima, Ginny and Blaise about our hocrux hunting adventure. "That's crazy you polyjuiced as ministry workers?!" I chuckled, "yes, it was brilliant, you should've seen umbridges face."

"Delores was always my least favorite person." Remus said, making us all chuckle. We spent hours looking at pictures and telling stories. Draco walked up to me, tapping my shoulder softly. "Can we talk?" I nodded, grabbing his hand and taking him up to my room. "What's going on love?" He shrugged.

"I just miss you, too many people." I chuckled leaning up and kissing him softly, he let his hands travel to my hips pulling me as close as possible. The kiss was slow, and I couldn't help smiling into the kiss. I pulled back slowly resting my forehead against his. "I love you Draco." He kissed my nose, "I love you too darling."

"Are you excited to be the potions professor?" He shrugged awkwardly, "I am, but I'm nervous. It's good knowing I'll have some of my people, you and Nev. It will be easier with you guys there." I nodded, and chuckled quietly. He gave me a questioning look, "what's funny, love?"

"I never saw the day you'd be calling me and nev your people." He chuckled at this, putting his hands up in defense, "to be fair I never thought you guys would be my people. Now though, you're my favorite person." I blushed, rolling my eyes. "Be quiet you soft git." He smiled, making a goofy face and flopped down on the bed sighing. "I'm so happy I came back to hogwarts and got your number from Hermione and Ron."

I smiled, "yeah, cheers to the mysterious unknown number." I teased, kissing my boyfriend softly once more. We finally made it.

A/N the end! I will be posting the epilogue tonight or tomorrow but this is the last official chapter of unknown number. Thank you so much for all of the reads/comments/support that you've shown this story.

I will be releasing another Drarry story within the next few days called wrong number. It has been much more thought out than this one and I'm hoping it's a beater experience.

The amount of love I've gotten on this story has been insane, and I cannot thank you guys enough for it seriously, you all have encouraged me majorly to continue to write and put my work out. I love you all.
