So, after the battle, the castle had to be put back together, and the room of requirement was a wreck , it would never work the same again... So Minerva Asked her students for recommendations as to what she should do with the renovated space, and of course Luna had the perfect idea. The room was turned into an area of remembrance, somewhere to miss and respect the fallen. Minerva had portraits commissioned of everyone who lost their life so that they could be free, and it becomes totally normal to come across Andromeda playing with Teddy at the foot of his parents' portrait, George and Molly often come by to visit with Fred, and Harry often brings his kids by to pay their respects and learn about the fallen. (Lilly's favorite to talk to and play with is a portrait of a young man named Colin who always snaps pictures of her with his silly looking muggle camera. ) That way, their legacy and sacrifice is never forgotten, and as students who don't remember to war come through, the portraits are able to put a face to the story, and tell them things that help make it real for them, keeping the memory alive forever in hopes history never repeats itself.

Headcannon time! So, I would imagine the first year after the battle of Hogwarts would be the hardest for everyone , but in a lot of ways, especially George. Every day is his first time facing that day in the year alone, and every holiday feels empty and painful. On the first anniversary of the battle, the remaining members of the DA and Order would most likely not want to be alone, so I imagine they would have a gathering, a time to remember the fallen, to mourn and reflect. George is sitting by himself kind of in a trance (as he often seems nowadays, no one can remember the last time they saw him smile or laugh). Luna walks over to him and hands him a package. He gives her a kind of confused look (no one else is getting or giving presents ) and with a cheerful smile, she says "I made this for you , I thought it might help" and wanders off to go talk to Harry. George unwraps it to find a beautiful handheld mirror. He flips it over to see his reflection, and is surprised to find it smiling, until he notices that his reflection has BOTH ears. "Wotcher George, why such s grumpy face? Did England lose the cup again?" As Luna happily watches the smile spread across George's face , Molly comes over and gives her a hug. "Thank you dear, I was starting to feel I had lost them both."

My Rabbit: open this door you useless human.
