Hey readers! Sorry again for the long wait! Have been very busy with school and life. So anyway this is NOT the last chapter just so you know. I'm sorry for how short it is! Also I apologize in advance because I am not very good at touchy, heart wrenching moments…. So apologies. Well enough of my talking! ENJOY!
The crowd of black, blue, and red swam before Colin's eyes. The final days of term were ago and the Beauxbatons and Durmstrangs needed to make the long journeys home. Farewells were being exchanged, hugs were given, and last kisses were stolen. Colin smiled at the unusual scene of happiness and calm. The days before had not been smooth sailing for anyone but now everyone was putting it aside to have one last happy day as friends. In some ways, Cedric's death had brought them all together. It was sad that that was what everyone needed. I mean they –
Colin's train of thought ended as he was jumped on from behind. He turned his face to see the bright blue eyes and blonde hair that he knew so well and turned around so that she was in his arms. They kissed endlessly before Gabrielle pulled back.
"You promise that you will write?"
"Everyday" he assured her.
"Oh please, not everyday."
Well why not?" They began to kiss again. Gabrielle quickly pulled back and looked down. Colin lifted her chin to see her tears. "What's wrong?"
"I am still upset about Cedric. I cannot believe that he is dead."
"I know. We owe him. He saved our lives many times. And now he is gone. And we weren't there to save him." Gabrielle nodded.
"Can we just drop the subject though? This is the last time I may see you. I want to treasure every moment." Then Gabrielle pounced on him. It was a rough kiss, unlike anything either of them had ever experienced. It was full of want. Suddenly Madame Maxine's voice was heard above the noise, as she summoned her girls to join her. Gabrielle pulled back sadly.
"When will we see each other again?"
"As soon as possible." She looked down sadly but once again he pulled her chin up. "I love you. Don't you forget it." Gabrielle smiled at that and kissed him one last time. It was sweet and naïve and perfect. But then Gabrielle was gone. Colin looked up to see that she was walking away with Fleur.
Colin joined the group that was waiting in the hallways for the procession of the schools. The Beauxbatons walked down the hallway in perfect precision with Fleur and Gabrielle in lead. Gabrielle caught his eye and winked as she began to flaunt instead of walk down the hallway. Colin's jaw dropped.
He followed the girls outside as they loaded on their carriage. The girls walked on, one by one, waving final goodbyes to friends and boyfriends. When Gabrielle made it to the top, she looked back and searched for Colin in the crowd. She found him and they held their eyes for a moment. Then Colin kissed his mouth and sent it to her and she responded with a watery smile on her face. She turned and walked into the carriage, away from Hogwarts, away from him.
