Chapter 9 – End of Year Feast

Alice-Rose POV

After the Snape confrontation, I was a bit emotional. I had just got word that the Volturi might be coming to investigate my family again. I didn't want to ever meet them, Mum had told me stories about them and I thought that they were the scariest creatures to ever walk the earth. So, when I was already worked up, to have Snape come in and shout at me didn't help anything. He is such an insensitive jerk!

It took a while but Dad and Grandpa eventually convinced the Volturi to not come. I was so relieved and became a lot more relaxed, I'm pretty sure my friends noticed my odd behaviour, but they didn't ask me about it. I was glad that I didn't have to explain anything to them and that they didn't question anything that I was doing.

Anyway, we all had packed up our trunks, ready to leave the next day. Everyone was excited about our last night at Hogwarts until we came back in September.

I met up with the Weasleys and walked down to the Great Hall with them for our end of year feast. It was amazing food and Dumbledore told us a speech. A lot of people were emotional since we all basically lived in two worlds. The muggle-borns were all going back to a world that had no idea what they were, and everyone wanted to meet up during the holidays.

I was hoping to go to the Weasleys house during the holidays, but I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to. I might have to consult Alice to know what might happen if I go and convince my parents that way. Oh, well, we'll see what happens.

We all ate so much food, everyone thought I didn't eat much but for a vampire I ate a lot. Everyone went back to their common rooms and talked for ages. No one wanted to go to bed since we had to say goodbye very soon.

I hung about with the Weasley twins next to one of the windows. They were playing with their wizard chess set. It wasn't all that interesting since I don't share my dad's love of chess. So, after like the twentieth game, they finally stopped playing and decided to go to bed. When I made it to my bed I could do nothing more than collapse on the mattress and fall asleep.
