--Tut, tut Rebecca! I don't suppose you'll like my sentence now 
Haggridd as it doesn't seem very original anymore, but I promise I 
had the idea before seeing Rebecca's.


His eyes were on Hermione, his best friend and life partner in a 
future he could only dream of, as his hand moved to trace the smooth 
forehead that had once borne a lightning bolt scar.

Don't like it? How about-

Harry climbed down from the steps of the Hogwarts Express, steam from 
its engine billowing in front of him; he no longer had to return to 
the Dursely's or worry about his fate as Voldemort was gone, and his 
future stretched before him like the softly curving lines of his scar.

or-

Harry and Hermione embraced long and emphatically knowing that they 
would spend the rest of their lives together, and for the first time 
in his life he forgot he had such a defining lightning bolt scar.

or-

"Harry your story is special, and I want to share it with the world." 
Hermione said, pen in hand and paper ready. "I'll write books about 
you, under a pen name of course, and every child in the world will 
know your name. There will be seven, one for each year at Hogwarts, 
and they'll be all about 'Harry the boy with a lightning bolt scar'!"

Ok these are rather stupid but...
