Part Thirteen:
The End of This Series
After a two day break, Harry and Malfoy returned to their studies. They had the evidence to prove that Earl had been the one who had taken Harry and performed the spell on him. Now all they had to do was get permission from the Ministry to use the torch on him. Dumbledore was taking care of that right now. Harry walked to Herbology with everyone else. He noticed that Alex looked like something was bothering her.
" Are you okay?" he asked.
" Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine." she said, giving him a reassuring smile.He was still concerned about her.He noticed that she began to clutch the silver locket that she always wore. Alex was lost in thought as they went to class. When they walked in Harry noticed some of the most beautiful yellow roses he had ever seen sitting in a large vase near the door. Professor Sprout called Alex over to her, told her something, and Alex went and got a rose from the vase. Harry noticed her eyes water as she did so. Yes, something was going on. They finished that class, and went to their common rooms. Alex didn't follow.
#@!%$#@^%*&^%#^%!
Alex climed one of the huge trees outside. She didn't know what it was that made her want to do these things, but she liked to climb trees, go hiking, and catch turtles, frogs, and lizards. She had always been like this. She climed halfway up the tree, went onto the middle of a branch, and looked into the sunset. It was beautiful here. It was no Alabama, but it was still beautiful. She noticed that Brendon had come outside too. He spotted her, and climed up the tree.
" Do you think she can see me?" asked Alex.
" Who?" asked Brendon, who was no sitting in a groove of the tree.
" My mother." said Alex.
" Yes, I believe she can. Just like my mom can see me." said Brendon.
" You don't have a mom?" asked Alex.
" No. My dad had taken my mom to Cancoon one summer after I was born. He had taken her to see one of the huge waterfalls, and he pushed her over." he said.
" How terrible! Why?" said Alex, climbing down to sit next to Brendon.
" He hated her. He hated her for bringing me into the world. He had no use for her anymore." said Brendon.
" Do you remember anything about her?" asked Alex.
" The only thing I remember about her is the was she could always make the world go away. When my father was in a particularly angry mood, she would take me into the closet and tell me stories about her growing up in Canada." said Brendon." What happened to your mom?"
" My mom died two years ago from Malignent Mellinoma(didn't spell that right) skin cancer-the worst you can get. Today is Mother's Day. My dad had Professor Sprout grow some yellow roses for her grave. They were her favorite." said Alex.
" I'm sorry." said Brendon.
" It's okay. I'm sorry about your mom." said Alex. They were quiet.
Harry had to find Alex. He had to find out what was wrong with her. He went outside, and saw two people sitting in a tree. It was Brendon and Alex.
"Hey Harry! Come on up!" said Alex. He climed up the tree and sat beside her.
" What's going on?" he asked.
" We're remembering our moms. Today's Mother's Day. The yellow roses were for her." she said.
" Oh. I didn't know that." said Harry.
" You guys wanna see a picture of her?" asked Alex.
" Sure." said the boys. Alex took of the locket and opened it up. Inside was a picture of Reese and a picture of a woman with blonde hair, and green eyes-Kymberly.
" She's beautiful." said Brendon.
" Just like you." Harry said to Alex. She smiled at him.
" Suck-up."
" What? Me?!! Naaahh!" he said. They laughed.
"I guess we all miss our moms." said Alex.
" Yeah." said Harry. They stayed there for a moment. Silently saying happy mothers day to their moms.
#$!^%$@&^$(*$^&@^%$@
" So we can do it?" asked Harry. He and Brendon were in Dumbledores office. He had just gotten back from the ministry.
" Yes. On him and the other death eaters."said the headmaster.
" Do I have to?" asked Harry. The idea of killing someone didn't appeal to him.
" No. You will give the torch to a guard, and he will do it." said Dumbledore.
" Okay." said Harry.
" You both did excellent jobs." said Dumbledore.
" Thank you sir." they both said.
#$!^%$@&()%&@%!%$@^%&^%
It was the end of the year by the time the torch was used. Now they were all aboard the Hogwarts express going home.
" One more year to go." said Ron.
" Yeah. What're we goin' to do after we get out of school?"asked Alex.
" I don't know. Get jobs I guess." said Hermione.
" I'll miss this place." said Harry.
" Lets make a pact right now that after we get out that we won't split up." said Alex.
" Okay." everyone said.
" Raise your right hand." said Alex. She and evryone else did so.
" Repeat after me. Squiggley-Wiggley, Tippity-Top, Come on, Come on, Bee bop bop." she said. Laughing everyone repeated it." I swear that after I get out of school that I will not forget my friends or the good times we had." they repeated it." And I will stay with them no matter what even after school. Betty Bopper, Wad a snot." they repeated it. Then Malfoy opened the compartment door.
" Er, Granger I think this is yours." he said. He wasn't smart-elick though. He held out his hand. Inside was a small firefly hairclip. For the first time Harry noticed she only had one of the two that she had had in her hair in her hair.
" Thanks." she said, taking it out of his hand. He turned around to leave.
" Wait." said Ron. Malfoy turned around.
" What?" he asked.
" What has been wrong with you this year? You haven't made fun of us, or been hateful, sneered at us or anything! You've actually been......nice. Why?" asked Ron.
" I felt that it was time for some changes. Lots of things changed in my life over the summer. I just didn't feel the need to annoy you anymore. I didn't see a point in it." Malfoy said.
" Anotherwords, he's grown up." said Alex. Malfoy thought for a minute.
" Yeah, I guess so." he said. Harry was taken aback. It seemed that the rest of them were too. They all stared at Malfoy.
" What?" he asked, looking uncomfortable.
" Nothing. We just...we didn't expect that." said Hermione.They all looked at each other.
" Would you like to take the oath with us?" said Alex.
" What oath?" asked Malfoy.
" It's a promise. That we'll always be together." said Alex.
" Why would you want me to?" he asked.
" Because, if it weren't for you we wouldn't have gotten into all of the trouble we did." said Ron.
" True." said Malfoy.
" And most of our childhood memories have something to do with you. Sneaking out of the common room to fight....." said Harry.
" Having someone to keep us on our toes at all times." said Hermione.
" You've been a big part of our lives." said Alex." Even though I only came here last year, I can tell what a big impact you had on them. Even if it were negative."
" So, do you want to take the oath?" asked Brendon.
" Okay." said Malfoy. Alex put him through what she had just put the others through. He was laughing by the time she finished.
" And now...." said Alex. She put out her hand out in front of her. Harry out his hand on hers. Then Hermione, Ron, Malfoy, and Brendon.
" I promise." she said.
" I promise." said the rest.
" Well, thanks. I have to get back to my other friends. They are probably wondering where I am." said Malfoy.
" Okay. Bye Draco." said Alex.
" By Alex." said Draco. He looked at the rest." Bye Harry, Ron, Hermione, Brendon."
And they continued the trip home.
Harry thought as he looked out the window. Isn't it amazing how things change? How you can go from being enemies to friends in such a short time? It was amazing. He wondered what other surprises were in store for them in the year to come. This year had proved that many things can change in a short time. What was going to change next year?
