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.
