"What was that all about, what are you on Malfoys side? Did you fall in love with him?"
I didnt even bother to answer. School would be over in less than a week and ever since the little accident at the Great Hall Stacie would ask me the same question. She couldnt get over the fact that I had taken Dracos side instead of hers.

"Stacie, please, will you just forget about that? Schools almost over, you know, soon well be going our separate ways, since you know Im spending some time at my grandpas house. I dont want us to fight anymore, ok?" She didnt reply she just sat next to Hermione, who by the way wasnt talking to me.

"Whatever" I said giving up and walking away from them. I walked to the Great Hall to meet with Draco. He was leaning back listening to Pansy with a bored expression. As soon as he saw me he smiled and hurried over to me.

"Leaving Pansy so soon? I thought for sure you were finally going to give her a chance" I said jokingly as he laced his fingers around mine.

"In her dreams" I smacked him playfully.

'You meany!" I said loudly and chuckled.

"Oh come on" He said and pushed his hair behind his ear.

"Draco!" I turned to see Goyle running our way.

"What is it?"

"Snape wants to talk to you" Draco looked at me, I shook my head to let him know I had no idea why my father wanted to talk to him.

"Well, ok, Ill be back as soon as possible" I nodded and watched as he walked away with Goyle.

"Ally" I turned hearing the whisper. I knew that voice, for a second there I thought it was my imagination. I stayed there without moving.

"Ally" I finally turned to see Oliver hiding behind the tree near the forest. I had been walking around while waiting for Draco.

"Oliver?" It was weird that he was finally talking to me after so long, In fact it felt weird. He hadnt called me Ally in a long time it almost made me feel like it wasnt real that I was dreaming or something.

"Ally, I have something I want to give you" He said stepping out and looked at me. I had to swallow and nod. He took my breath away every time I saw him.

"uh, ok I" said not knowing what it was he wanted me to do,

"Meet me in my office at 11, ok?" I felt my heart skip a beat, there were some images floating in my head.

"Ok" I said unsure. It was tempting really

I didnt knock, I just entered knowing that Oliver was probably sitting on the couch waiting for me.

"I didnt think you'd come" He said and waited for me to close the door.

"I didnt either" I replied stupidly.

"Tracy sent me this letter with your name on it, she asked me to give it to you" I sat across from him. Being near him and in this place brought beautiful memories back. I looked away from him and looked at the envelope with my name on it.

"How is she?" I asked putting down the envelope.

"She's doing ok, or so Ive heard from her father" He looked different to me. Like he had no energy like a part of him was missing.

"Im glad to hear that" I said heartedly.

"How are things going with you and Draco?"

"Good" I said quickly and standing up at the same time"Thats good" He said. He walked over to the door and opened it for me.

"I guess thats all" I said feeling a bit sad"Yeah Oliver" said and looked into my eyes, All I wanted to do was kiss him just one last time. I just wanted to feel his lips on mine, I wanted to hear from his lips that he loved me, I wanted to feel him near me. He stepped forward. I could feel the warmth of his body heat dangerously close.

"Bye" I said and quickly stepped out. I didnt even give him time to react I just pressed the envelope against my chest and ran quickly. I promised, Tracy and Im going to keep my promise

"Im hoping that you all have a great summer. To those Seventh years that are leaving us I wish the best to. I wish them a bright future full of greatness and glory..." My grandfather went on as we all sat there and listened.
There were a lot of things going through my head. Here I was my last day of school and the only thing I was really worried about was, what next?
What am I going t o do with my life. Ive been too busy being heartbroken to think about my future. Sure, I sort of have it written down for me since Im already engaged to be married and since Draco has tons of money I probably wont need a job.
I sighed loudly and smiled at Stacie. She wasnt mad anymore, none of them were. I could tell she was sad about leaving Harry. She didnt know where the relationship was going. As for Ron and Hermione they sort of had their futures figured out. It sort of made me feel like a loser.

"Im going to miss Hogwarts" Ron said as he dragged his suitcase to the carriages.

"Me too, Ron but think about it, well finally be old enough to do whatever we want" I smiled, she was right.

"Im going to miss Hogwarts, probably more than anyone else. Hogwarts has, after all, been like my home. Its been the one place where I felt free, unlike at my Aunt Petunias house." Harry said as he took one last look at the castle.

"Im going to miss it, too" Stacie said and placed her head on Harrys shoulder.

"Me too" I said a little quietly and looked up once again. It was really hard to believe that I had been through all this in this wonderful place. I wouldve never guessed that I was going to find love here. That I was going to experience all the things I had. It was unbelievable. I had found my grandfather, the guy I love, my soon to be husband and 3 wonderful friends and yet I didnt feel really happy at all. My life wasnt really going the way I had expected it.

"We have to stay in touch, we have to hang out" Hermione said getting a bit sad.

"Oh no, no, were not going to get sentimental, weve got to think of the fun stuff were going to go through now, were adults now!" Stacie said loudly and made her way into the carriage.

"Yeah, shes right dont you think, Ally?" I nodded but my mind was on something else , or rather someone else. Oliver. He was talking to my grandfather. They seemed to be having some really interesting conversation. Theyre probably talking about the wedding. I commanded myself to get rid of those thoughts and breathed out loudly. I wanted to go over and say goodbye to him to say something sweet, like a poem, or something to let him know how important he truly was. And yet I didnt want to say anything at the same times. Words can be very painful sometimes. I saw him turn to look at me. My grandfather smiled and waved. I waved back and turned.

"Why dont you go say something to him?" Hermione said standing against the carriage.
Everyone was inside except for a few people.
"I dont know what to say" I said without taking my eyes off him. I wanted to take in the vision of him. To never forget the person I truly loved. I wanted so many things and yet I couldnt have them.
"Id rather just go" I said and quickly got into the carriage.

"I dont think so" Stacie said and gave me a knowing look. "Youre going back there to tell him something, you know youll hate yourself later if you dont"

"But I dont know what to say" I replied childishly.

Go and tell him whatever you feel" Stacie said pushing me so hard I ended up on the floor with my face on the ground.

"ow" I said loudly and looked straight to see a hand extended.

"Need a hand?" I looked up slowly to see Oliver looking at me through glassy eyes. I nodded and took his hand while standing up. I heard the carriage door close.

"I-uh-" I couldnt speak, I could feel a whimper forming in my mouth.

"I wanted to say goodbye" He said when he realized I couldnt speak. I looked at him through teary eyes.

"Goodbye" I said shutting my eyes tight. I didnt want to cry anymore, I wanted him to remember me as a strong girl. I sniffed and opened my eyes. I wasnt crying but I could tell I was close to.

"Im sorry" He said and looked at me with teary eyes.
He was going to cry.
"Dont be, Oliver, just look ahead, Im sure youll be the most popular and handsome quidditch player real soon" I said extending my hand" Good luck" He looked at my hand and then up at me. His breathing was loud and I could feel my heart breaking. It was hard to breath so hard I had to open my mouth and inhale some air.

"Thank you "He replied quietly and shook my hand. His palm felt hot against mine. He squeezed it gently and leaned. I wondered if he was going to kiss me. I was actually praying for him to. He kissed my cheek and looked at me. His face less than an inch away.
" Ill always love you, Ally, dont you forget that" I pulled him into a tight hug and clung on to him. I didnt want to let him go, ever. I cried quietly and sniffed trying to compose myself.

"Ill always love you, Oliver, dont you forget that" I replied letting out a whimper. "What we shared will always stay with me, just with me, its our secret" I whispered and forced myself away from him.
"
"I love you" I whispered letting the cold tears fall down my cheeks...
