Finals were almost completely over, and the year was coming to a close. It had been barely a month since Harry and Draco had come to realize that they couldn't be together during the school year. Harry had been depressed, barely talking at all to Ron or Hermione. His friends were worried, wondering what had happened to make him so sad. They tried funny stories, wizard's chess, and even Bertie Bot's Every Flavor Beans, but nothing seemed to pick him up. Draco was having a similar dilemma. However, unlike Harry, nobody bothered Draco as he seemed perfectly normal. Of course, he was in Slytherin, the depressing house of depression. Usually he was the most upbeat person in the common room.
Harry and Draco had finished the potion assignment within a week, passing Snape's final with flying colors. During class Snape would stare at them as if they were doing something wrong, which kind of freaked both of them out. It seemed that no one had forgotten the accident with the love potion yet.
As all of the other classes finished up their finals, the pace of everything started slowing down. Teachers were letting them goof off more in class, they didn't have to study as hard, and everything was basically getting ready for summer.
Harry and Draco both knew it was going to be a long summer without the other. They didn't want to part, but they knew they had to.
Finally, graduation day came. Professor Dumbledore gave his speech, the last feast of the year was eaten, and black caps were thrown into the air in a mass of fabric.
After the ceremony, most of everyone went off to finish packing and file onto the train home. Harry and Draco stayed behind a bit, the corridors almost empty. They looked at each other with miserable looks on both their faces, knowing how long they would have to wait before they could see each other again. Three whole months felt like a lifetime in that moment.
They exchanged one last passionate kiss before the long, lonely summer began.
Author's Note: Thank you everyone, for supporting me so far! I know the update schedule for this is really crazy. Sorry for the short chapter, but this was all I really had. At this point, since they're going into a different time period, I'm not sure whether or not to make a new book as a sequel, or to just continue on as is. Thank you all for your support and ideas! I love you all!
