EPILOGUE
"Albus Severus Potter, salutatorian and Head Boy of the class of 2024" headmistress McGongal said and cheers erupted from the Great Hall as Al got up up from his seat in front of the Great Hall where the teachers tables usually were only for the tables to be removed and filled with chairs on graduation day. Al went up to get his diploma and walked back to his chair, standing alongside the rest who had already gotten their diplomas. Lily grinned and cheered with everyone with her whole family being the loudest. Al had decided to go on and become an Unspeakable since what interested Al the most was the unknown. It suited him, Lily thought since he was always reading different books about many things that were still a mystery in the wizard world.
"Can't believe Al decided to became an Unspeakable, I was sure he was going to be an auror" James said as he clapped along with everyone. Lily nodded thinking the same as had the whole family.
"Yeah, but nobody thought you join the Hit Wizard Team and play pro Quidditch" Lily told him and James grinned.
"What can I say, I'm a great man. Two great things at once" and Lily slapped him in the head while Laughton as well.
"Fred Weasly" Whoa, they were that far already, Lily thought surprised since she been talking to James. Fred went up to get his diploma, giving a low bow to the audience and a wink to Dani's direction before returning to his seat, earning some chuckles from the audience and students on his way back. Lily looked at Dani and saw her usually pale face was a slight shade of red, but she was smiling at him not looking the least bit embarrassed. Fred and Dani were now going out officially and the whole family had accepted her a little bit better then they had accepted Scorpius, but otherwise, both had been accepted quite easily. Lily turned back to Fred. Fred had decided that he was going to join his father's shop and might also go into the Ministry of Magic and do some sort of job, but first he was going to look into some before really choosing.
"Rose Weasly, valedictorian and Head Girl of the class of 2024" McGongal continues and Rose went up to get her diploma. Earlier, Rose and Al had given their speech and talked from their first day of school to the pranks over the years. But then they went on how they would miss the school, the teachers and just about everything. Rose was going to study to become a lawyer and Lily knew she was going to be a successful one. Time passed and all the Gryffindor's, Hufflepuff's and Ravenclaw's were called up and given their diploma when it was Slytherin turn.
"For the house of Slytherin, class of 2024..." and McGongal started naming off Slytherins who went up to get their diplomas.
"Janika Kaiser" said the headmistress McGongal as Janika went up to get her diploma. Janika caught eyes with Lily and smiled at her. Lily smiled back. When they had gone back to school, Lily had promised to her that nothing had changed between them and the last few months of school passed and Jeal, Dani, Lily and Janika became great friends. Janika didn't know what she wanted to do yet, but she was thinking of staying here rather then going back to Germany since she liked here better. Lily wondered if Al had any influence in her decision to stay since Lily has caught those two hanging out a lot lately ever since Al saved them. Soon, it was Scorpius's turn.
"Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy" McGongal said and Scorpius went up to get his diploma. Lily smiled, knowing that he hated his middle name and would rather keep it a secret rather then having the whole world know about it. McGongal handed Scorpius his diploma and when he received his, he grinned and winked at McGongal and went back to his seat. Lily didn't miss the old womans face turning a slight pink and Lily laughed quietly. Even the old strict woman wasn't immune to Scorpius charm or his sexy grin. Scorpius was going to go on to become an auror since hanging out with James, her father and the kidnap had helped influence Scorpius decision and Lily was happy to know that he had his mind set. More people went up and before she knew it, she saw Mike go up to receive his own diploma and then, when all had received their diplomas and called the "Graduation Class of 2024" the graduation caps were thrown in the air, the colors of the houses; red, yellow, blue and green, mixing together and landing in random spots. When it was all over, the graduates came down from their stage and went on to receive congratulations. Al, Fred and Rose each went to their parents. Lily hugged Al after he had hugged their father and kissed his mother.
"Ah Al, congrats" Lily told him.
"Thanks Lily" and then Lily moved on to Rose and Fred and congratulated both of them.
"Lily, thank you. I will have to say I will miss you the most. You and I have always been together and now, for me to leave..." Rose said to her.
"It will be just like that time when I was nine and you were going to Hogwarts for your first year and Hugo and I got left me behind. I was so sad then and here we are again and I'm again. You leaving and me staying" Lily said.
"But not for long" Rose said and the moved on to other people.
"Lily" someone said behind Lily and Lily turned around to see Janika behind her.
"Hey Jani" Lily said and went over to hug her to congratulate her.
"Lily I'm really sorry what I made you go though this year, but I'm not sad to have met you" Janika told her.
"Same here. But... I'm wondering if you are also not sad for getting to meet someone else?" Janika grinned.
"Who knows" Janika said then went on to talk to Al. Lily smiled as those two talked. It was obvious they liked each other and it was just a matter of time before they got together. Lily turned away from them and saw Mike, Jeal, Dani and Scorpius gathered around talking to each other and Lily decided to go over and congratulate Mike and Scorpius.
"Hey Mike, congratulation" Lily said as she came up beside Scorpius who put his arm around her shoulder. "Congrats Scorpius" Lily told him as she got on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek. He grinned at her.
"There's Fred. See you guys" Dani said as she spied Fred and went over to him.
"AH" Jeal groaned as she turned her head to them slowly rolling her eyes. "Let's go Mike and pretend we didn't see them" she said as she started to walk away pulling Mike with her.
"Too late for us" Scorpius whispered into Lily's ear. Lily laughed and turned to look at Draco, Astoria and Narcissa Malfoy walking towards them .
"Did Jeal just run away" asked Scorpius grandmother who was looking towards the direction that Jeal and Mike had left. Scorpius grinned at her and the old woman smiled back at him.
"Scorpius," Mr. Malfoy said "we're leaving soon. Do you wanna wait and leave tomorrow on the train or go with us now?" Mr. Malfoy asked after giving a nod to Lily. Scorpius hugged Lily tighter to him.
"I'll leave tomorrow" and his father nodded.
"I guessed as much. Alright, we'll see you soon" and with that he left with his wife and mother but not before Astoria smiled and winked at Lily. Lily smiled back. Astoria had accepted Lily and Fred with a big happy smile on her face and was happy that her grandchildren helped the close gap between the Potter/Weasly family with the Malfoy family that has been there for a long time with tension in between.
"That just means more time with your" Lily told Scorpius as his family disappeared from their sight. Scorpius chuckled.
"Thats right. Hey, how about we go to our 'practice tower' after all this is done?" Scorpius asked her. Lily nodded thinking how their 'practice tower' was going to be used one last time. The DADA class had a final duel match and Lily had gotten second, with Jake Zabini beating her by mere points. Lily hadn't cared enough about losing but after he won, he got really proud and got arrogant and Lily regretted not trying harder to beat him. She could of course, but she didn't really try. Lily saw her family looking at her and Scorpius. Her uncle Ron came up to them.
"Hello Malfoy" he nodded and Scorpius nodded back. "Congratulation."
"Yeah congratulations Malfoy" her aunt Hermione said as she came up behind her husband, and then everybody was congratulating Scorpius and asking him what he was going to do next. Everyone seemed to like him and some warned him that her father could be really hard sometimes when he told them what field he was going to go into. When everyone had left, Lily and Scorpius sneaked off to their tower and sat outside. Lily was leaning against Scorpius and they had a blanket around them, looking up at the night sky.
"I'm going to miss having you here" Lily told him. He kissed the top of her head.
"We'll see each other a lot over the summers and before you know it, these next two years are going to fly by" Lily nodded knowing he was right.
"I know, but it sounds like a long time" Lily whined. Scorpius chuckled. To distract herself form the future, Lily asked Scorpius where the Scorpius constellation was and he showed her. For a long time, Scorpius showed her different constellations and their names. He didn't know many, he said, but to her he seemed to know all of them.
SO last chapter for real and Scorpius graduated. Don't have much to say really ex.
