"The year has come to an end and so has our journey in this wonderful school. A school that gave us life and taught everyone the meaning of it…or at least tried to, for some of us. I'm sure every single student in this room has had a powerful memory in this castle, so powerful that your heart doesn't wish to tear itself away from it. We've had 7 years of our life in a place we called home. 7 years of love between friends that became family. Brothers and sisters of Hogwarts, may you please rise in the honor of Hogwarts and give your salute to this institution that gave us life." Hermione said stepping back from the podium.
The graduating class of Hogwarts stood up and clapped loudly and cheered, some in tears, some almost in tears. The clapping and cheering had faded and everyone sat back down.
"Thank you." Hermione whispered, walking off the stage.
They clapped for the Valedictorian and felt oddly confused at how short her speech was. They saw McGonagall try to encourage Hermione to say a few other words, but Hermione shook her head and went back to her seat, unable to go back up there again.
Draco sat and watched as Dumbledore gave the closing speech. He glowered at everyone who held hands with each other. Everyone had someone, but the person he had, had left a long time ago. He didn't want to understand how painful it was for him to hear about Jade's flight. Draco found out that the Headmaster was informed of Jade's leave by Jade herself. She personally thanked the old man for everything he had done for her and providing her a shelter. Draco couldn't believe the old man let her go so easily.
To make things worse, Ginny dropped another bomb.
She faked her pregnancy.
She tried to explain to Draco, it was a way to get him back to her, because she felt as if she was losing him to Jade. Draco left her for good, and now she sat there, with her parents on the other side of the Great Hall, throwing nervous and hopeful looks towards him to see if he still loved her. Draco was crushed. He wasn't going to be a father like he had hoped. After Ginny planted the seed in his mind, that he would become a father, Draco took on that role mentally. He gave up his bad habits and took up healthy ones, that Ginny had gotten him used to, after they started dating. Right after he heard her admittance that she wasn't going to have a baby, it made him feel extremely stupid, for preparing for nothing. He never was able to forgive her and was sure that he was never going to. He was giving up on dating for a while.
Everyone started to rise up and file out of the Great Hall. Draco followed them out and didn't wait to congratulate, wish luck or say goodbye to anyone. He was done and out of here.
