"The End Of the Year: Memories that last Forever"
We had all gathered in the dinning hall, to see who won the House Cup this year. Wood and I sat next to each other, holding each other's hands under the table. Professor Dumbledor stood up and while I listened to him speak and award last minute points, he paused to announce the winner.
"It is with great honor to award Griffendor with the House Cup, for a second year in a row. Congratulations" he began in his raspy voice.
The banners above remained Griffendor's colors and everyone stood up and cheered. Wood and I stood up and then hugged and kissed passionately. Suddenly the room had become silent, but at that point it didn't matter. Though Wood pushed back and looked at me...
"Jade Star, ever since we met here at Hogwarts you have become my best friend and more. Though after this year I don't want to lose you again, so please except this promise ring. It'll symbolize our love for one another until the end of time, I love you Jade." He said handing me the ring and slipping it onto my finger.
"Oliver Wood, you have been someone who always looked out for me, whether in class or on the Quditch field. I would gladly except this ring, because I love you too, so much."
We hugged again, then I heard clapping and everyone cheered and applauded, including the Professors. I was completely amazed at this turn of evens, though I thought we'd broken a rule. Then my eyes met with Professor McGonagall's and she smiled and raised her wine glass to us.
The next morning I packed all my belongings to return home, I graduated from Hogwarts and was going on to study more. As I stood on the Platform, Harry, Ron, and Hermione came up to me.
"We're going to miss you Jade. Do you get to keep the Quiditch uniform?" Harry asked
"Yes, I was happy to take it. I like it a lot, but I'm going to miss you all too. Make sure you don't pull something like this next year ok?" I replied
"Don't worry, I don't think anyone can top you and Wood's extraordinary performance." Hermione laughed.
"No I don't think you could." I added.
"Jade, are you ready to go?" Wood asked walking up to me; "Well Potter, I hope you take care of the team for me, understand?"
"You mean, you're making him..." I paused.
"Yes, Potter you are now the new Quiditch Captain for Griffendor." he smiled.
"Thanks Wood, well good bye." Harry replied.
"We'll miss you Wood." Ron added.
Everyone boarded the train and by the same evening we arrived back in London. Wood and I got off the train together and saw our luggage waiting on one cart for us. He ran over and got it, then followed me through the wall, back in between Platforms 9 and 10. As we came out I saw my parents walking up to us.
"Welcome home you two." Mum said hugging us both.
"Mum, would you mind not trying to choke us?" I asked
"I'm sorry dear, but we're so happy you're home and Wood nice to meet you."
"Same here Mrs. Star." He replied shaking her hand.
"Wood where are your parents?" I asked looking around
"Their not coming, I told them I'm spending the summer with you. I figured that we could both go to a school for further study together." Taking my hand into his.
"That's wonderful, but is it ok with you Mum, Dad?"
"Of course it is, Come on we'd better get home it's late."
Things actually worked out for the best and it amazed me to see Mum and Dad so excepting. That night as we drove home from the station, I laid my head on his shoulder while he put his arm around my waist. We stayed like that the whole way home.
