"Kacie! Grace! Ivy! Annabell! Dakota!" Aurora yelled. "You're awake! Oh, I was so worried about you guys!"

I stared at Dakota. "Why," I asked. "Was Maledictus so concerned when his spell hit you?"

"I-well," he tried to explained. "I don't know."

"I'm so glad that Maledictus is gone, aren't you guys?" I asked.

"Yeah! He deserved what was coming to him!" Grace replied.

"But," Aurora added. "he's not gone for good, we know that because he escaped unscathed."

"Correct." I confirmed.

"Still, we can be happy for now!" Annabell said with a smile. Realizing she was right, the rest of us caught her smile and continued on with our day.

After the last test of the day, we all headed to bed and anxiously awaited the sunrise.

"TEST SCORES!" Grace and I yelled. We smiled at each other, then headed down to breakfast.

"Mmm, pudding!" Grace said.

"Oh God, Grace. Use a spoon this time!" Ivy laughed. "Okay…"Grace said in mock depression.

After breakfast we headed down to potions, worrying our bums off about if we were going to get good scores.

After potions is D.A.D.A , nobody was worried about this one because this was Dad's class.

At the end of the day, we met up for score sharing. Ivy said,

"I bet I failed." said Ivy.

"No you didn't, what'd you get?" Grace asked.

"PASS!" Ivy replied.

"Me too!" Grace and I shouted.

"I got a PASS!" Annabell shouted.

"HOORAY! HOORAY, HOORAY, HOORAY!" We laughed, congratulating her.

"Aurora what'd you get?" I asked.

"A pass!" Aurora exclaimed, unfolding her paper.

"I like trains." Annabell mentioned.

"Oh no, not again, Annabell!" Grace, Ivy , Aurora and I laughed.

"Guys," I said. "We're leaving Hogwarts soon!" I finished, because I had just remembered the sad truth.

"W-wait, guys!" Annabell realized. "I can't leave Hogwarts without Polie!"

"Oh, crap! I forgot about that, Annabell!" Grace and I said.

"Let's go find him now so Annabell can actually sleep tonight," Ivy said. We ran back to the common room and searched there. No Polie. We decided to go to the dorm and look. No Polie!

"No! Polie!" Annabell cried.

"Don't worry. Did you take him to breakfast, lunch, or dinner?" We asked her.

Aurora still wasn't talking.

"I don't know," Annabell said. "Let's go look!" She ran off, with us following behind her.

"Wait," Grace said. "I better go see if Baby Eric is still there, just in case!" She ran back. A few minutes later she met us in the Great Hall with Eric in her arms.

"Still got him," she said, "that's good."

"Guys! GUYS!" Annabell yelled. "I FOUND HIM!" We found her in the kitchen with the house elves.

"Just a question." Grace said. "How did Polie end up in the kitchen?"

"Um, well, I was going to ask for more of that savory bean casserole," Annabell said sheepishly.

"Oh, God, Annabell," we said, laughing.

"No more casserole, Annabell!" Grace said, wagging her finger.

We all laughed again.

"Let's go back to the common room and wait for dinner to be ready," Ivy said. We all nodded, as we all knew that we were hungry.

Annabell said, "WE CAN PLAY WITH MY TRAINS!"

I slapped my hand to my head.

"No thanks, Annabell," we all said with passion.

Annabell made one of her adorable sad faces.

"Aww, Annabell," I said, wrapping my arm around her shoulders and giving her a side hug. Grace laughed.

"I don't know...trains are pretty darn fun!"

"Yeah. But so is swimming." Aurora said

"What?" Grace and I asked.

"Swimming is a great risk. You could drown, get eaten by a shark, dehydrate, sun-burnt, which could cause cancer, or you could get tangled in seaweed which could cut off your circulation after a long time." Aurora shook her head.

"You're trying not to smile, aren't you?" Grace asked, hiding a smile herself.

"No."

"Yes."

"Maybe."

"Yes."

"Maybe, maybe not."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"A CONQUEST!" Grace yelled.

We all collapse on the floor, laughing.

"And how is playing trains dangerous?" I asked. Aurora laughed.

"Well, you could get hit by them, or get mistaken for coal and thrown in the fire-" A new round of guffaws hit us.

We ran off after Annabell.

"Hey, Annabell…" Ivy said, "I'm gonna win another train fight!"

"You didn't win last time!" Annabell protested.

"No, guys. I'm gonna win this time!" Grace and I say.

Aurora cleared her throat. "NO! I will win," she rumbled.

"Um, Aurora, no offense, but...how do you hold a train?" Grace asked.

"Yeah, how do you?" Ivy asked.

"WITH MY MENTAL POWER!" she responded.

"Um...okay." Grace said.

"LET'S GO PLAY TRAINS!" Aurora said, levitating a "mental-power"train she conjured with her wand.

"I wanna wiiinnnn," Annabell whimpered. "Guyssss! PLEASE!"

"How the bloody hell are you first years so obsessed with trains? Really, It's idiotic. You're eleven!" A girl with green eyes, pink and blue mascara and pink wavy hair asked. She looked to be a fourth year.

"Well, who are you? Really, it's idiotic that you didn't introduce yourself." I retorted.

"I will have you know that I am Hermione's granddaughter! And I think that Grandmama would really disapprove."

"Oh God! I'm related to you?" Aurora scoffed.

"AND US! W.K.K.K.!" I said, indignant.

"Wait-what? I'm related to-to-geeks?""And how is weirdo-Potter-girl related to you?" she asked.

"I-I'm adopted." Grace replied.

"Um, well, Hermione was a very brave geek, and she's your grandmother, so, you're technically still related to a geek even if we weren't related to you." Aurora finished.

"I'll have you know that I think of my grandmother as a very smart person, not a-a thing.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh, well then, I suppose you think Hermione was popular, then? And geeks are people too!"

"Of course she was! I-I think..Yeah! Totally!"

"You, madam, know nothing of your grandmother, then!" Ivy shouted.

"Ugh! I don't have to listen to this!" With a flip of her hair, just a little over enthusiastic, she walked away in her hot pink high heels.

I sighed. "We need less Alyssa Barkles, more Hermione Grangers- and Luna Lovegoods- in our world of Pansy Parkinsons…"

"Isn't that from a website?" Annabell asked.

"Yep. Full of those quotes," I said.

We walked off, heading towards our dorm...to play trains, of course.

When we got to the dorm, Ivy stopped.

"It's time to go."

"What?" I asked

"It's three P.M." She said.

"Oh."

"T-time to go? What do you mean, time to go?" Annabell asked.

"It's time to go home!" Ivy laughed. "Don't worry, I won't kill you...or will I?" she finished, jokingly.

"AHHHHHHHH! Professor Potter!" Annabell yelled.

We all laughed, heading up to our dorm.

Ivy mutters, "I don't wanna go home.."

"Me neither," I say back.

"Well, technically, we have dinner, then we go home in the morning. But classes are over and we have to pack," Aurora clarified.

Ivy sighed in relief. "Whew."

I rolled my eyes, "Ivy, we'll be back after summer vacation."

She laughed. "Huh, oh, yeah!"

I went over to my bed and pulled out my suitcase from underneath. I pulled out my wand and did Wingardium Leviosa so my things flew into the others did the same.

"So...Anyone hungry? 'Cause, I have a hankering for that bean casserole, and, since it's our last dinner here, I thought, maybe-"

"Okay, Annabelle, we'll go!" Ivy, Grace, and I laughed.

We went to dinner for the end-of-year feast.

"SILENCE!" Professor Potter rumbled, all Dumbledore style, "IN THE GREAT HALL."

Everyone grew silent. They want to know who won the House Cup, and see the Quidditch Cup. They had made a new rule a few years ago, as I was told, to give away the Quidditch Cup at the end-of-the-year feast.

"First, we must award the Quidditch Cup to Slytherin, for their Quidditch skills," Potter said, as Draco stood up, carrying the Quidditch Cup.

A a blonde boy from Slytherin, evidently the Quidditch Captain, got up. He looked a lot like Mollie, I noticed. "Doesn't he…?" Grace started.

"Look like Mollie? Yeah, I know," I finished for her.

He took the Quidditch Cup and waved it in the air, a smirk (much like Malfoy's) was plastered on his face.

After the boy sat down, Professor Potter started talking. "Now, the House Cup. Hufflepuff has 281 points," Hufflepuff groaned. "Gryffindor, 379 points," he continued.

Gryffindor started yelling at other Gryffindors, and even blaming teachers.

"I bet it's all Malfoy's fault!"

"You're the best at Transfiguration! You should have gotten us more points!"

"Wow. It's all Longbottom's fault because he's too shy to give out any points!"

"It's not my fault that you can't cast any spells, even if your life depended on it!"

"SILENCE!" Professor Potter shouted, the anger clear in his voice. "Do not blame others for what you could have done better! Now, I will finish." He took a deep breath, then continued. "One of the remaining Houses have 453 points, the other, 465."

I held my breath. They were so close. I wouldn't mind either of those numbers, at this point. It would still be awesome if we won, though.

"And the House that has won the House Cup in of the school year 2043 to 2044 is…" Everyone started stomping on the ground, like a drumroll to add dramatic effect. "RAVENCLAW!"

My jaw dropped. No. Freaking. Way. Professor Potter handed the House Cup to Dad while Grace and Ivy pulled me up and we all started screaming.

Professor Potter quieted us all down by clapping his hands twice. Food and drinks filled the tables. Ravenclaw sat down and all four Houses started eating.

"I can't believe we won the House Cup!" Grace exclaimed, shoving some dumplings in her mouth.

I piled some stuffing on my plate. "I know! I can't believe the year's already over…" I sighed.

Annabell nodded. "I'm gonna miss the savory bean casserole." We started laughing.

After the feast, we all headed back to the common room. Everyone was huddled in little groups all around the room. I just shrugged and walked over to the couch and sat down.

"I don't wanna go back…" I groaned.

"TOO BAD!" Ivy yelled. "Whoops. That was louder than I expected."

I laughed. "Too bad for you, too."

After lunch, we headed out to Dad's car. Yes. My father drives a car.

Even as a wizard. Annabell started whimpering about going home.

"I forgot one of my trains." Grace laughs.

"Honestly Annabell, how do you keep track of them all?"

"Well there's Thomas, Kate, Amy-"

"Okay! We understand!" I laugh. Ivy stops dead.

"Kacie, did you tell your mom that you were going home with your dad?"

"Crap. No, no I did not."

"No, you didn't. None of you did. But I sent owls to all your families. Aurora, I didn't send one to your parents because...well...you know," Dad said.

"I understand," said Aurora with a shrug and a ghost of a scowl.

On the way home we all got bored. So we sang "99 Bottles of Pop on the Wall"...it was interesting.

Eventually it was just me, Dad, Eli, and Grace in the car.

"Okay Grace and Eli, time to drop you off at home. Which way do you live?"

Eli frowns and Grace curls up next to him, finally getting the satisfaction of him not pushing her away anymore.

"Well, whichever way you live." Eli says. Dad smacks his head.

"I'm so sorry." He says, starting the car again.

ൽ

At home, we all settle in and greet Hailey and Thomas...and I decide that maybe we're all gonna be happy here...at least for a while.
