I want to thank whoever is reading this and ask you, to PLEASE review!

Zeph unleashed a sigh of relief as she left her final O.W.L, history of magic. She didn't doubt that she didn't do well, she was hoping for an A at best, but memorization was not one of her strong suits, well it could be if she wanted it to be. Forest walked out shortly after, a wide smile on her face.

"We're done! Summer!" she shouted stretching her arms in the air, a teacher running into the hall only moments later to hush her. "We're done!" she loudly whispered. "School's over! We get to go home!" Relief was written all over Forest's face. She didn't care about the results of her O.W.L.'s she was just happy they were over as they walked upstairs to change before their last dinner of the year.

On the way down to dinner, Tom finally caught up with the two girls, throwing his arms around them. He flipped his curly light brown hair back, and smiled at them.

"Hurrah!" he sang, and the two girls laughed "Got any plans this summer?" he asked.

Forest groaned slightly and the two friends shot her a questioning look. "I'm going to be practicing all summer." She whined.

"Practicing what?" Tom asked.

"Quidditch."

Zeph nodded in reply. "Oh yea," she began "I think I heard Scorpius mention about meeting up and practicing with you a bit." She saw her friend suppress a smile.

"It's going to be quidditch this and quidditch that. I mean I like flying and all but I also like napping and reading and… napping, but now Jack is all happy that we were undefeated for the first time in like 10 years, and my mom is too excited for me."

Zeph could imagine Mrs. Bianchi's happiness and excitement over her daughter's success in quidditch this year. She laughed "Oh God," she said as she truly thought about it "I bet your mum is estatic."

"You don't even know" Forest responded.

"Well don't you like it?" Tom asked. Forest nodded.

"I do, but I also like pissing off my brother, and he's all happy about it. I mean we've barley fought!" Tom laughed at Forest's belligerence.

Suddenly a person grabbed Zeph's hand.

It was Calix Lovegood, Zeph stopped for a moment to be polite. He had been nothing but nice to her the whole year.

"Hey Calix" she said, feeling a bit odd that she had been calling him by his first name so often. "What's up?"

"Oh, I can say hi now, without having a reason, now can't I?" he teased "Or rather good bye." He pulled her into a strong hug.

"See you next year." He said.

"Yea," she responded in a forced awkward tone, receiving a laugh from Calix "You too." He waved good bye as he proceeded down the corridor. When he was out of ear shot, Tom decided to comment on the run in.

"Calix is after you, ya know." He stated simply "Quite the player."

"He is not a player!" she shot back, her voice revealing she didn't quite agree with herself. "Just friendly."

"Reeaal friendly" Forest teased "Not that it matters since Zeph has already had her heart stolen." Tom giggled.

"Oh so it's true?" He leaned close to Zeph "Zeph's heart belongs to Po-" but he was silenced by Zeph's hand smashing into his face.

"Shut up." She stated simply, the two friends gleefully laughing over torturing their friend. After a few minutes of silence Zeph stopped stewing in her anger "I just need to leave it behind, it's so one sided, it's not even funny."

"I'm n-" but Tom fell silently when his eyes met Forest's. Something in her eyes told Tom to tread lightly, that she didn't like to hear it. Zeph truly didn't like her hopes brought up. After all, he had a girlfriend and they had been together forever, at least it felt that way to Zeph. Two years now, as Zeph knew from running into Jillian who always seemed to find a way to mention it. It was her only warning she had left, after getting in deep trouble from the 'death eater' threat.

Forest and Zeph sat in their compartment reading, the curtains drawn so people wouldn't feel free to enter. Tom was saying his last good byes to his boyfriend, so he wasn't in the compartment with them. Zeph had her earphones in as she read through her cop of the Quibbler. Calix's mother Luna Lovegood was the chief editor of the magazine, which she found to be the strangest magazine she had ever read, talking about whipsnaps, gnomes and crumpled horned snorlacks.

"Oh crap!" Forest shot up in her seat, and Zeph took out her earphones. "I forgot to tell Scorpius we aren't practicing on Tuesdays anymore! What part of the train is he in?"

"I think he's with Nick and Pears down in the back." Forest hopped up.

"I'll be back in a second." She jumped out of the cabinent, crashing into someone. "Oh sorry…" she started.

"Don't worry about it Forest, have you seen oh-." Came a familiar voice Zeph leaned forward. "Found her." He said with asmile.

He walked into the compartment shutting the door. "Hey Zeph., I haven't been able to find you anywhere."

"It's intentional." She replied, setting down her copy of the quibbler. "Forest and I don't like people popping in and such, fitting in last minute goodbyes."

"Oh," he began "Then you won't like this." She laughed.

"No, no" she smiled "It's ok when it's between close friends."

"We have grown close this year." he commented. "I'm really happy about it."

"Me too." She said, taking her legs rom the seat to give him more room. She just realized she was pushing him to the edge of the seat with her feet.

"What're you listening to?" he asked.

"Oh," she noticed she never took her head phones off, and took a moment to register the song. "Then She Appeared by XTC." She replied "Do you want to listen? It's a good song."

"Sure" he answered scooting close to her, and Zeph helped him pu the other head phone in. "These things are difficult…" he struggled, letting Zeph take over.

She felt herself blush as she realized that their arms were entangled, and ran around his neck as she tried to get the head phone in. Once it was in, Zeph thought about how close they were sitting, their thighs practically touching. She consciously held her hands at the center of her lap as the music played.

He turned to her, "I really like this one." They were face to face, not even inches away. She could see herself in his eyes.

"Yea it's a nice one." For some reason they didn't turn away, they stayed looking deep into each other's eyes.

In the clearest summer sky
Suddenly just changed address
Now shines from her blue eyes
Then she appeared, brittle shooting star that dropped in my lap
Then she appeared, dressed in tricolour and phrygian cap
I was a little troubled

He leaned forward, and their lips touched, but it was more than that. She felt her tensions relieved as they kissed each other, he placed his hand behind her head. She wasn't aware of anything, anything, anything but now. She felt suddenly happy, here in this moment, the music, -

They ripped a part returning to reality at the sound of the door slamming open and then slamming the shut. Zeph felt her face heat up as he saw the same amount of panic on Albus's face.

He stood up awkwardly. "Well," he looked down at the ground, "I'll see you next year."

"Yea." Zeph said, unable to think "that." He opened the door, and waved awkwardly at Forest who was standing outside before literally running away.

Forest looked from Zeph, to Albus, from Zeph to Ablus. "I think I choose…" she paused

"not to ask."
