The Last Day

The last day of term was always the most bittersweet of days at Hogwarts. The excitement from the House Cup - Ravenclaw's win- and the feast from the previous night were over and now all of the students stood with their trunks on carts ready to leave for the Hogwarts express.

" I cannot believe we are going to be sixth years soon" Marlene said excitedly as they loaded our luggage on the train.

" I know, it's strange" Doe said observing the beauty of Hogwarts as it towered over them.

" You know, I'm really going to miss this place over the summer" Lily said looking at the castle fondly.

" And you guys," Mary said, " we need to all hang out".

" Of course, you can all come stay with me!" Marlene announced as she pulled them into a hug.

" I assume we are invited as well?" James asked with a wink as he and the other Marauders strode over.

Marlene rolled her eyes, "You wish".

" Well I certainly do" Sirius said winking at her.

Remus walked over and Doe grabbed his hand, it was becoming second nature for them.

" Well say goodbye kids, we've got two months to reek havoc on the world before returning in September" James said.

They all took one last fleeting glance at Hogwarts, and boarded the train towards their second homes.
