I never thought I'd ever say this...Last. Chapter. Is. Here! :D

I'm so glad I finished this story. I love it. And I LOVE all of you people who have reviewed through this story. Without you guys, it'd been impossible to bring myself to write all this. I got it all on a Word and it's...100 pages! I'd never written that much! So thanks a lot guys I've never felt so motivated in my whole life. I would want to say thanks to all my permanent reviewers: Tree Kangaroo, PenguinsRCute, iluvdoughnuts, , Aravi Velez, sithlorde1988...thanks to you people! And also to those who have bothered on reading my story! I would also want to thank my BFFFL and co-writer Maya Dune who brought me up in the lows and all that stuff. You're AMAZING!

Well, this is getting too long. It's looking like a book. Anyway, here goes the chapter!


Gwen's POV

It felt kinda weird to be packing. I had been in the castle for nine months without leaving, and I felt like I was going to miss that place. Now it felt more comfortable to me than my own home, because there I'd spend the whole summer alone with my brothers Mike, aged eleven, and Lucas, aged six. Here, in Hogwarts, I was family-free. I could do whatever I wanted without them scolding me. I wasn't forced to eat sprouts or peas, or I didn't have a maximum for the pizza slices I got. Not that I ate the whole thing anyway, but I just hated it when my mom told me I couldn't eat more than three slices and I was left hungry. I hated them treating me like a baby, and coming back home after nine months without a broken bone or not either skinny to death or as fat as Owen could make them see I could handle by myself.

But we had to go back. School had also been exhausting, and I was just glad I could finally get a break.

I packed all my t-shirts with the accio spell. I didn't feel like picking them up from my closet anyway. Lucy had left a while ago, and Courtney and I were still packing up.

"Have you seen my shower towel?" she asked.

"Nope," I answered while I charmed my shoes.

"Accio shower towel!" she cried.

The towel came floating by from her closet.

"Oh...so it was there after all," Courtney laughed, "Well, that was it for me. Do you need any help?"

"No, just the school uniform and I'll be done."

My Ravenclaw uniform was well folded in my closet, so I carefully made it float to my bag, which I closed right after.

"It'll be hard to leave this place," Courtney mused.

"We'll be back next year," I wasn't sure wether if I was trying to cheer up my friend or myself.

Cody's POV

I dragged my suitcase downstairs, making small thudding sounds as it fell to the next step.

"Don't do that," Gwen said "It's ticking me off."

"This is too heavy..." I groaned.

"You wouldn't have this problem now if you hadn't bought all that stuff in our last trip to Hogsmeade," Noah rolled his eyes.

"Little Max wanted some sweets!" I cried, kinda offended.

"You bought sweets for your little brother?" Gwen asked. "That's so sweet."

"I always do the same thing," I explained. "Only last year I bought the sweets in the train. But I prefer Honeyduke's, they're so much better."

We started a conversation on Honeydukes and the sweets they sold there. That was going to be what I'd miss the most. How would I live without buying a bunch of those delicous sweets every three weeks? Muggle sweets are so dull. They only taste sugary, and that's all. They're nothing compared to the awesome taste of our sweets.

Well, enough of my culinary insterests. We jumped into the train after leaving our bags and suitcases in the luggage wagon.

"Hey, don't you notice?" Courtney suddenly cried. "It's the same compartment!"

"Which is the same compartment?" Noah asked, confused.

"This is the same compartment we sat in when we were coming back in September!"

"Things have changed so much in a few months..." Gwen sighed.

I rose my eyebrows.

"Have they changed to worse? Or to better?" I asked.

Gwen laughed and gave me a kiss, "To better, you silly."

I thought about what Gwen had said. I mentally summarized everything that had happened that year: My dice head, when I became Ravenclaw seeker, the matches, Bellatrix LeStrange and the box...Wait. What about the box?

"Hey," I said "What happened to the box? Have they found it?"

"Better: they've destroyed it," Noah explained. "McGonagall told me just after the final. The five Aurors who were sent in search for the box found it buried in the outskirts of a little village by Newcastle. Just some destroying spell and everything was pretty much done."

Courtney glared at him.

"Why didn't you tell us?" she cried furiously.

"I didn't remember until Cody asked about it," Noah answered calmly. "Not much, I was just semi-unconscious in the nursery."

Courtney gazed down.

"Sorry," she murmured, "I didn't know-"

"It's okay," Noah cut her, wrapping an arm around her.

"I need...the sweets," I croaked.

"You'll survive," Gwen chuckled "It's only four hours left."

I groaned.

Noah's POV

There we were, back in King's Cross. We could already see some parents in the platform, but they couldn't spot their children between all the bunch of children in the train.

We stepped outside the compartment. Just then, Gwen saw her family. Well, her mother and brothers. Her father would never have the time to go and pick her up from the station.

"Guys, I need to go," she said. "Meet tomorrow in Covent Garden by eleven in the morning?"

We all nodded. She gave Cody a peck on his cheek and then left.

"Hey, there's my family!" he cried. "See you tomorrow, okay?"

Courtney and I nodded again, and our second friend left.

I squinted through the platform. I could see my parents, and so did Courtney. She gave me a peck on my cheek.

"So...you wanted to come home?" she asked, just before leaving.

"I'm not going home," I smiled. "I'm just taking a break from my real home."

THE END


I never thought I'd get to write those last two words...EEEE!

I'm really happy. I couldn't have done this without you my awesome reviewers. Seriously, your reviews have made me persist in this story. Without all of you people I'd probably dumped the whole thing in the third chapter. I've loved writing this and I hope you like it as much as I do. Note: I know the ending is just like the Philosopher's Stone, but I couldn't think of anything else! x) Sorry.

I REALLY need to know if you guys have enjoyed the story and if you think I did something wrong, so I can make my future fictions better!

Again, thanks to my 45 reviewers and 500 viewers! YOU GUYS ROCK SO MUCH!

Now, I'm really planning on doing a fourth grade story, but I'll only write it if you guys want me to and would read it. So, just to give you a simple idea, here's a sneak peek for one of the chapters!

A bunch of boys and girls I'd never seen crossed the Great Hall's doors. McGonagall had said we'd have one girl per grade and house, and same going with the boys. They were exchange students from America. I wondered if they brought burgers and chips (they call them French fries there. That proves they're crazy. I mean, they're not even French. They're Belgian!). Maybe they even brought their muggle baseball caps!

Two teens around our age came to where all of us Ravenclaw fourth graders sat. The girl had brown hair in a ponytail and dark piercing eyes. The boy had black jet hair and bright green eyes.

"Excuse me?" the girl asked. "My name is Rachel. This is Ben. They told us you guys are also fourth graders."

"Yes," Courtney answered. "We are."

"Great," Ben said. "They told us to sit with the Ravenclaw fourth graders."

Rachel sat by Trent, with Ben by her side. There was something funny about those two, and it wasn't only that weird accent they had. I knew they were hiding something.

Sorry if you feel annoyed by Gwen's description about us Americans, but I've got a few English friends and that's their POV about us x3 And FACT! French fries actually come from Belgium (Book Weird But True! 2, 200 outrageous facts by National Geographic).

So, if you liked that, make sure to review saying you want me to write it!

Again, until our paths meet again, people! It's been a pleasure to know about you! :)
