Finals approached before they even realized it and that meant that the school year was almost over and summer was approaching faster than a train with no brakes. As Alex and Jessi walked out of their last final, History of Magic, James wrapped an arm around each of their shoulders.

"I don't want you to go back to America, I'll miss you!"

"Well, actually, we decided that we're going to continue at Hogwarts."

"YES!"

"Yep, we like it better here."

"Oh by the way, you are officially invited to come visit Potter Mansion this summer."

"Why thank you. We will take you up on that offer after we visit our parents in America."

"Good. Now come on, we have to pack up our stuff and head to the feast."

Alex and Jessi allowed James to steer them to the common room and they packed up their things sadly, they didn't want to leave Hogwarts, but they knew they would get to come back soon, so they packed anyway.

Once the last shirt was in their trunks they shut the lids and headed down to the Great Hall where their friends were already waiting. They sat in their spot and didn't really listen as Dumbledore gave the end of term speech. Instead they were thinking of how amazing their lives were. It felt almost unreal.

Food appeared in front of them and Alex grabbed as much as she could fit on her plate, digging in as she laughed at Sirius's antics. He was busily trying to see how much food he could shove in his mouth, and Alex, feeling particularly daring, challenged him to a contest. As she shoved food in her mouth, she tried not to laugh and ended up getting the same amount of food in her mouth as Sirius did. She then had the challenge of chewing it. Jessi laughed as she watched, and batted both of them for being so strange.

When the feast was over everyone went up to the dorms to sleep and Alex and Jessi couldn't help but smile at how wonderful their year had been.

~x~

The next morning Alex and Jessi walked down with their friends to the carriages and waved them good-bye.

"We'll write you the second we're home!" James yelled out the window at them.

"We'll write you too! See you soon!"

The carriages disappeared from her sight, Jessi and Alex linked arms.

"Well Love, looks like it's time to head back to America."

Jessi and Alex walked slowly back up to their dorm and grabbed their things before walking back to the portal to get home.

"See you soon!" Alex smiled at the castle as she and Jessi crawled through the portal.

She and Jessi hugged each other goodbye, and Alex headed up to her room to write a letter to the boys.

Hey boys!

We made it back to America just fine, I hope you had a good trip home as well. We'll probably be back at Hogwarts in about a week. I guess we'll see you sometime after that. Sirius, don't send that prank in the mail, I know you want to, but don't send it to Jessi, send it to a death eater. James, don't eat just junk food, you want to be healthy for Quidditch. Peter, don't over eat, you know you'll get sick. Oh and Rem, try to get some sun. At the very least read outside! You'll hurt your eyes if you keep reading in the dark! Please write soon. We miss y'all. Like a lot. -Blondie

Alex attached the note to her owl's leg and sent it out through the window.
