A/N: wow, I'm actually adding a chapter. Sorry it took so long and that it's short.
Chapter Twelve
It was the end of the school year. Hermione looked around at all her friends as they got ready for graduation. Soon everyone was ready and headed down to the great hall for the final day of the school year. Everyone sat down at the tables. The room fell quiet as Dumbledore stood up to speak.
"Another year is gone," Dumbledore said, looking around at all the students, "and though some students won't be here next year, take great pride in knowing that it's the next chapter of life."
Dumbledore continued to talk while everyone listened. Soon he was done with his speech, everyone clapped and soon the final feast had arrived. Sirius looked around at all the food with a bit of sadness on his face.
"Whats wrong?" Hermione asked, looking worried.
"This is the last time I will ever see so much food," Sirius said looking about ready to cry.
"Don't worry," James grinned, "thats why you got magic. You can just wish you up some more food."
Sirius mood quickly changed. He starting digging into all the food he could grab. Hermione shook her head and slowly ate her food. Soon the feast was over. Everyone headed to their dorms to get anything they had missed.
"Take a good look around," Lily said, looking around the common room, "last time we will ever see this room again. Have lots of good memories in here."
Everyone looked around the common room with smiles on their faces. Soon it was time to head to the train. They got a cart together on the train. It was a quiet ride home as they stared out the window. The train came to a stop and they slowly got up and headed to the platform.
"I can't believe its all over," Hermione sighed as she got her stuff, "it was a long year."
"Ya, where will you be heading?" Sirius asked, looking at Hermione.
Hermione froze, not realizing she had completely forgot that she didn't have anywhere to go.
"Oh," Emily quickly said, "shes gonna stay with me until we find her a house to buy. Ain't that right, Hermione?"
"Yes," Hermione said, looking relieved and also a bit curious.
"Wonderful," Sirius grinned, "then you can come over to James and mines house anytime."
Hermione nodded her head. Remus said goodbye to all of them as he headed off with his dad. Lily was the next one to leave with her parents. James and Sirius said their goodbyes to the girls before quickly taking off. Hermione and Emily went outside. Emily got a taxi. Hermione gave her a weird look as they got in the taxi and took off.
"Why are we using a taxi?" Hermione asked.
"I want to feel normal," Emily said, rolling her eyes, "don't need magic for everything."
Hermione nodded her head, and looked out the window. They drove for about two hours before the taxi came to a stop outside Emily's house. Emily paid the taxi driver while Hermione got the trunks out of the back of the taxi.
"This is it," Emily said, looking at her house, "its not much, but got more then one room."
Emily led the way inside. Hermione looked around to see everything was dusty. Emily pulled out her wand and waved it around. Soon everything was clean. Hermione looked over at her with a smirk.
"What," Emily said, "i didn't want to clean."
Hermione just shook her head as Emily lead her to the guest bedroom. Hermione looked around at the full sized bed and the one dresser in the room.
"I'm sure this will do," Emily said, "unpack and make yourself at home."
Emily left the room to go to her own. Hermione put her trunk in front of the bed, but didn't bother to unpack. She sat there for about ten minutes just thinking. She soon left the room and went into the kitchen where Emily had started to make dinner.
"Why did you say I could live with you?" Hermione asked, folding her arms.
"I just thought you needed a place to stay," Emily said as if it was nothing.
"You're lying," Hermione said, "how did you know I didn't have anywhere to go after the school year?"
"Oh please," Emily said, turning around to stare at Hermione, "I'm not stupid, I know you're not from here. You know way too much about everything. So its obvious you're a time traveler stuck in the past, waiting for a ride back to the future."
Emily turned around to continue to make dinner while Hermione stood there in shock.
"If you knew," Hermione said, trying to gather her thoughts, "then why haven't you asked about the future?"
"Because it's the future and it needs to happen to keep everything in balance," Emily said, getting out plates to put on the table.
"Even if it's not a good future?" Hermione asked in a serious voice.
Emily froze before saying, "yes, even if the future ain't good, it still needs to happen. You can't change it, the future can't be changed."
