Today was unfortunately a very bad and sad day for me: the last day of school. I couldnt even get myself to think what I would do without Hogwarts for one whole summer. I dont want to go back. Im going to miss my friends, especially Draco, from which we formed a great friendship all year long, and Daphnee who I can safely call my best friend. Ive had amazing moments all year, acing my Potions and Astronomy, getting some very good grades in Transfiguration, Charms and DADA, and barely passing in History of magic . I was happy with my overall grades to be honest, I think maybe even my parents would be proud, which is a very rare thing. I also went to EVERY SINGLE quidditch match of the year and we won the house cup. Me and Draco built a few snowmen in the holiday seasons as we stayed in Hogwarts, and I received a stack of money from my parents for christmas which was very nice of them. I never really got the opportunity to have a real sentimental gift from my parents but I didnt mind much, Christmas is for good times right?

We ended this sad but happy day with a very amusing flying lesson where me and Draco raced each other around the quidditch field. It was a special day today because we were allowed "free" flying in the fielded area. We also organized a small quidditch match, me being a chaser. Draco insisted on being a seeker against Harry (who was the youngest seeker in years) and that didnt turn out very friendly. Harry caught the snitch before we even managed anything, but overall it was fun. I managed to speak to Harry and congratulate him for his catch. We werent best friends but we enjoyed talking now and then.
Right after changing, Draco was waiting for me outside the rooms,ready to head to the Great Hall for our final feast. I was nervous because I didnt eat all day so I could eat a little bit in front of people tonight. I dont want them having any suspicions about me.
We arrived in the Great Hall a little bit later than everyone else due to the Quidditch "mini-match" we had, but it didnt seem to have caused a problem. We took our usual seats near the far end of the table (or close end, depends on perspective!) and waited patiently for Dumbledore to speak.
"So Violette what are your plans for the summer? Asked Draco
-I think my parents are taking me to America to visit some historical wizarding places. Not my ideal summer but im guessing its better than nothing. What about you?
-I believe we are going to Japan for some ministry work. Ive been there many times already, its really boring really.
-Oh Ive been too, its beautiful.
-Im guessing your parents are also rich?
-Well, I would say we are quite comfortable yes.
-Quit being modest. That means your rich.
-Oh Draco how direct of you."
We were interrupted by Dumbledore, who started his end of year speech. I tried not to listen to much in fear of crying in front of everyone; not my thing. But there is one thing I heard. We won the house cup ! I got up and screamed my lungs out in victory, smiling all the way to my ears. I turned to Draco and we both gave each other a hug in the moment of extasy. I hope he didnt realize my cheeks going slightly red. After the commotion ended, Dumbledore raised his voice:
"Yes,yes well done Slytherin,well done Slytherin. However, recent events must be taken into account. And I have a few last minute points to award. To miss Hermione Granger, for the use of cool intellect when others were in great peril,50 points. SECOND! To mister Ronald Weasley for the best played game of chess that Hogwarts has seen these many years, 50 points. And third, to mister Harry Potter, for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor 60 points. And finally, it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but an even greater deal to stand up to your friends. I award to Neville Longbottom 10 house points. Assuming my calculations are correct, I believe that a change of decoration is in order. Gryffindor wins the house cup!"
I turn to Draco, seeing his devastated face.
-What the bloody hell just happened?! I yelled.
-That Potter boy played the hero and stole our house cup. Saint Potter!

It was already time go home, so we made our ways to Hogsmead train station all following Hagrid as usual. It was a hard moment for us, as we were still shocked by recent house cup changes. We solely spoke about how much we despised Gryffindors on the way to the station out of rage. We found an empty compartment in the train and sat down in our usual formation. The mood was suddenly sadder than ever, each of us staring at the window in nostalgia already. The worst part was, the trip was so short, im assuming its all psychologically because I didnt want to go back. I gave hugs to all my friends and when it was Dracos turn, I saw him surrounded by two tall wizards that looked too much like him. I stepped forward looking at Draco.
-Hey Violette, meet my parents, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy.
-Pleasure to meet you both, Ive heard great things about you.
-What an honorable comment Miss..?
-Delacour sir.
-Please call me Lucius. Any friend of Draco is welcomed to call me so.
-And please call me Narcissa darling. Ive heard alot about your family. Great story isnt it? Im fascinated by it. And we are close friends to your parents, Ive heard about you Violette. You seem to have great potential.
-Thank you Miss Malf- I mean Narcissa. It was a pleasure to meet you both (I shook their hands), but my parents must already be worried right now, I must get going.
-Bye Vi, take care this summer, ill write you owls all the time.
-Promise?
-Promise.
-Take care too.
I gave him a hug which lasted longer than it should and made my way to the floo network and yelled "Delacour manor 4".
