Virginia looked at her watch and smiled at Tommy.

" I better go. It's late."

He nodded. " It cant be this time already. I wish the day had longer hours."

She smiled and lowered her gaze embarrased. " Ah...I had a really good time and...I...er...I just want to say thanks for helping me out. All these stuff " she indicated to the bags in her hand. " I would have been lost searching for them. I'm hopeless with organisation."

" Well I'm no neat freak either " said Tommy.

She smiled. " I really had a good time today. Thank you."

" It was fun " said Tommy. " I'm glad you decided to come."

" Me too " replied Virginia.

" What will you do when you get home?"

" What an unuasual question to ask " said Virginia. " But if you are really curious. I'll probably take a nice bath and get my school stuff ready."

" So I'll see you at Hogwarts then?"

" Maybe " replied Virginia. " I think once I get there. Both of us will have to make a decision and you'res could be the hardest one of all."

" I dont understand."

" Tommy. If they see you hanging out with me. Well lets just say ...you wont have many friends left. I can survive in there. I after all am Belletrix Lestrages daughter whether I like it or not and I dont think a years abuse is going to upset me after enduring eleven years off it at home."

" It doesnt have to..."

" Please Tommy cant we part on happy terms? Let's not go away miserable."

" But I want to see you happy."

" I am " said Virginia.

She held out her hand to shake his but he bent down and kissed it.

" I hope this isn't the last " he said softly.

" Good bye Virginia Keller."

She nodded and turned on her heel. She walked away quickly. She knew exactly what she would do when she got home and she had a feeling it would involve an early night and a lot of tears.
