The days
rolled on and Sam and Destiny caught up on mother daughter things...
Soon the end of the year arrived and they were going home...
Sam
had received high grades and an excellent report...
Sirus had
congratulated her personally and explained his relationship with
Harry...
Also over the months Sam had begun to get over Dan but
when she went up to his dorm to see it for the first time, to sort
out his things she had seen the many pictures of her...
The one
picture which made her break down was the picture of them together...
Sam was leaning against Dan in the picture and she was sleeping.
Dan was stroking her hair gently and he was
whispering I love you to her...
She had often wept wishing for
him to be there with her but she knew that it was never true...
When they went on the boats back to the platform and grew
ready to depart...
Sam glanced back at Hogwarts and a ghostly
voice whispered into her ear...
"I'm still here for you...,"
whispered the voice...
She got off the boat and looked again at
Hogwarts..
She turned and infront of her, stood in a dark alley
stood a ghost...
Two ghosts actually and they were holding
hands...
"Sam...," called one ghost "It's me
Dan...,"
"Dan...," whispered Sam as she stepped
into the alley
"I'm happy Sam...I've got Cho back...,"
he smiled that familiar smile which she'd seen a long time ago...
"I'll never leave you...," he whispered as he took her
hand...
For a moment his hand was solid but then it slid through
her skin.
Sam's eyes filled with tears as she looked up at Dan...
He was still smiling as he began to fade...
"I love you
Sam...," he whispered
Before he faded all together he
stepped a little closer to Sam and kissed her cheek...
Then he
faded all together and finally just as Dan's final shape was
disappearing he whispered "I love you Sam...,"
His
words echoed around her for a while and she broke down into tears and
sunk to the floor...
She cried and hid her head in her hands
until she felt a hand on her shoulder...
Sam looked up into the
eyes of another ghost...
"Hello Sam," he smiled
"William...," gasped Sam as she realised that the ghost
was William Nicholson, the first father she'd known
Sam went to
hug him but she went straight through his body...
"I want to
hold onto you so badly now...But I can't with this body...,"
whispered William
"I know...," whispered Sam as the
tears streamed down her cheeks
"Don't cry Sam...Like Dan
said...I always love you no matter who's daughter you are...And I'll
always be watching over you...," whispered William
Soon he
began to fade and Sam was left all alone...
She wiped the tears
from her eyes and stepped out of the alley...
Harry, Jay and
Sirus were there to see her off...
"Hey
Sam" said Jay.
"Hi" she said
"So I see
you had a strange year." said sirius.
"Ya but you will
get used to it, I certainly did." said Harry and they laughed.
"You know what sam, Seeing is who your mother is I think you
will make a great element Angel one day." said Jay. Sam smiled
with delight.
"Bye!"
called Sam "See you next year!"
"Bye Jay, Harry
and of coarse Sirus...," smiled Destiny as she boarded the
train...
"Goodbye!" called Harry
"Owl us if
anything goes wrong!" called Jay
"We will!"
laughed Sam
They found a compartment and waved to Sirus, Harry
and Jay as the train left...
As the train chugged into the
country side Sam just looked out the window for a while...
