Choices

Choice thirty one: Lily

I can't believe it Hogwarts is officially over. I cried so much on the train ride home I just couldn't believe that we'd finished our school life. It feels like only yesterday we started at the school and now it's over.

Scarlett's father found her an apartment in a place called Godric's Hollow. It's lovely I went to stay with her when we finished and it's just so lovely. It's in a wizarding community and the houses are mixed between modern and old styled. She has a Victorian styled one with large bay windows.

Downstairs there's a massive living area with an old fashioned fireplace which is great for the floo network. Then there's a modern muggle style kitchen that's just as big with a large table in there. Upstairs she has a fabulous bathroom and two bedrooms.

Well when I got there and saw it I fell in love with the place and before either of us realised Scarlett and I were flat mates and its great. I know that it was originally going to be her and Sapphie's place but we're having a great time here.

The boys have found a Tudor styled house just around the corner from us which is great because the six of us can meet up whenever although I've still got to be really sneaky what with dating James and Severus. I really should choose between them but I love them both so much.

Anyway that's the least of my problems at the moment I need a job. It's really not that funny because I've been thinking long and hard about what I want to do. I sent in lots of applications but I can't decide.

Sevie isn't getting a job, he's going to be a man of leisure he says, but I don't believe him. I know that he's doing something but he says it more of a hobby he's really busy making potions all day everyday but it's up to him.

Scarlett has started a job too she's an unspeakable, well at least a trainee one. I don't know what that is though she won't tell me. She has said though that it's a job within the ministry and she's working in the Department of Mysteries.

I asked her about it the other day and all she said is that she loves it there and Homer John he was the Hufflepuff prefect he's working there with her. She's enjoying it and I suppose that's all that matters.

I feel like a lay about not doing anything, but I've looked through all these pamphlets and I had a letter back today. I'm going back to school! Okay so it's not Hogwarts I'll admit but it's the Academy of Saint Mungos it's where they train the Healers. I'm going to be a Healer or a medi-witch as Sirius always calls them.

I've thought long and hard about this and when I was little I always wanted to be a doctor. In fact when I started Hogwarts I still wanted to be a doctor and that passion or ambition has never left me and this is the closest to a doctor as I'll ever be. I think that it's the right choice for me and I'm not going to look back.

Okay so thanks for all the reviews so far it's really nice of you all. Since HBP is coming out on Saturday I won't post until probably the end of next week after I'm done with the book, but afterwards this may have to be slightly altered to fit in with the plot or I might make it AU, but no post till after the new book
