The Leaving Feast

The leaving feast was fast approaching and Danielle wasn't getting better quickly.

Harry or Ron was always in there with her, but she seldom woke up. Hermione went to their classes to take note for them, since she was the best note taker.

When the day of the leaving feast came Dumbledore decided that she could go, but she had to be with Ron and Harry at all times and if she felt faint at all she needed to come straight back.

Danielle nodded just glad he was giving her the opportunity to go.

"Thank you Professor" Harry said.

"Yeah," Ron added, "and we'll talk good care of her." Ron smiled at Danielle and she returned the smile.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "I have no doubt of that, the two of you have barely left her side since she's been here." The two boys blushed.

Danielle was in a wheelchair and was very unhappy about it. "How am I supposed to get up the stairs?" She asked wheeling herself towards the stairs.

Suddenly the stairs became a ramp that she could wheel herself up easily. "Fine." Danielle shouted at the ramp.

Danielle got dressed with Hermione and Harry's help. She was okay with Harry helping her because he was family after all. Once they had got her ready to go, they were almost late.

They were happy about the ramps; they didn't have to worry about tripping down the stairs as they ran. Danielle was the only problem; she couldn't stop at the end of the ramps or turn the corners because she was going to fast.

They got down the great hall about three minutes before Dumbledore stared the feast. For Danielle it was three minutes to early.

Everyone stared at her; it wasn't very often that someone had to be in a wheelchair; Madam Pomfrey was very good at healing people. Also, nothing was a secret at Hogwarts; they all knew that she had faced Voldemort and that she could do wandless magic.

Once everyone went back to their conversations, Malfoy came up to them.

"I see the dark lord hurt you more than you let on the other night." He whispered in her ear so quietly that no one else could hear. "He'll be glad to know that."

Fred and George Weasley pulled him away from her.

"Guess what?" Fred said excited. Malfoy just looked at them.

"Oh, you're no fun" Fred pouted when he didn't answer.

"We're graduating tomorrow," George said excitedly.

"Do you know what that means?" Fred said still holding him by the collar of his shirt from when he pulled him away from Danielle.

"Yeah, that this school even allows rejects through?" Malfoy sneered.

"We already knew that when they let you in," Fred said with a smirk.

"No, it means that if we ever see you again we can pound your face into the ground without getting into trouble." George said making Fred let him go.

They all laughed at the look in Malfoy's eyes as he quickly walked back to his table.

"Thank you." Danielle said weakly.

"Hey, it was our pleasure." Fred said.

"Exactly, and anyways you feel like a sister to us," George said and winked at Ron and added, "and maybe someday you will be." They all laughed as Ron and Danielle blushed deeply.

"Oh yeah, Danielle, you were asleep for our last Quidditch game." Fred said then sadly added, "the only one we lost."

"Yeah, but we were in enough of a lead that we still won the Quidditch cup!" George added happily. Everyone smiled to see Danielle smile.

"Well, we better sit down, Professor Dumbledore looks like he wants to start." Fred said walking away toward the other seventh years.

Danielle sat next to Ron while Hermione and Harry sat across from them.

"I was hoping that if they caught one person that night, I would have been him." Danielle said. They all knew who she was talking about. They didn't continue to conversation because Dumbledore started talking.

"The end of another year!" He said slowly. "Last year at this time I told you that Voldemort had returned. There have been rumors of his death now, but no one knows for sure. I ask each and every one of you to keep your eyes open and yourselves safe over the summer. I want all you who are not graduating back here in September. Now, the house cup needs awarding. As I'm sure you can all see by the decorations, Gryffindor wins this year."

Cheers went up from the Gryffindor table and applause from most other table, all except Slytherin.

The feast began and Danielle had a wonderful time just talking with her friends. She didn't eat much, she was still weak and her stomach couldn't handle a lot of food.

Soon the feast was over and Danielle was being wheeled back to the hospital wing.

"Please Professor?" Danielle wined to Dumbledore. "Can't I stay in the dorms tonight, it is the last night." Danielle pleaded.

"I'm sorry Danielle, I can't allow you to go back, you are still very weak." Danielle gave up; she knew she wasn't going to win.

Ron, Harry, and Hermione came in say goodnight.

"Goodnight guys, thanks for helping me tonight." Danielle said as Harry and Hermione were leaving. "Think nothing of it." Hermione said waving from the door.

She pulled on Harry's hand dragging him out of the room to leave Ron and Danielle alone.

"Thanks Harry" Danielle laughed telepathically to Harry. "Just kissing." Danielle heard back, and she laughed out loud.

Ron had gotten use to her talking to Harry telepathically and just smiled at her.

"I need to thank your brothers for tonight." Danielle said looking at Ron.

"Hey, they like you. Who wouldn't" Ron said as he leaned in to kiss her. It was just a little sweet kiss, because he knew Danielle was weak.

"Goodnight, Ron" Danielle said quietly biting her bottom lip like she often did when she couldn't come up with the words to say what she wanted to.

"Sleep well, my love." Ron said walking to the door. "I'm come back in the morning and I'll bring you up to the dorm to let you pack, I'm sure Hermione and Harry will help you. Don't let the bed bugs bite." He said smiling.

She laughed as he blew her a kiss and she caught it and he closed the door leaving her alone with Shadow.

"And goodnight to you, Shadow." Danielle said as she closed her eyes and was instantly asleep.
