I do not own Harry Potter...

Sam

As the end of the year draws nearer, we grow sadder. Tomorrow we go home for Easter and then it's only a month until we're done for good. I'm going to miss Hogwarts so much.

Sirius is very reserved lately. I think he's scared I'll back out again, but I won't. I couldn't handle not being with him. I haven't kissed him since that night, and he hasn't tried to kiss me either.

Kaelin and Remus are better than ever. They still take things slow, and Kaelin keeps her Christianity a big part of the relationship. They're adorable when they're all cuddled up on the couch by the fire.

I've never seen James happier than he's been in the last few weeks. He never stops smiling, and Lily is always with him wherever he goes. I knew they were meant for each other. Anyone can tell they love each other.

Lily has been hanging out with Kaelin and I a lot more, and we have a lot in common. We spend most nights in our room staying up late and talking.

Peter is Peter. He's pretty much stopped hanging out with us lately. He occasionally trails along behind us, but I know it's weird for him because we've all gotten together now. I know he feels left out, so I try to include him, but he doesn't seem to want to do anything anymore.

Today, it's warm, and we have no classes. We've been outside since early this morning enjoying the sunshine. Kaelin, Lily, and I put on shorts and tank tops to sun ourselves, but the boys convinced us to go swimming with them. We played around in the cool water for a while. Once we got tired, we sat out on a large rock, and the boys kept playing.

We're still sitting on this very same rock almost an hour later. I've only just gotten dry, and I can still hear the guys splashing each other. This is one of those rare days Peter came with us, and I can tell he's having a great time hanging out with his friends again.

The warm sunshine is beating down on me, and I'm enjoying it. The yelling and splashing stops suddenly, and I'm worried. I lift my head up to see the guys grinning at us. I shake Kaelin and Lily and they too sit up.

The boys begin to walk closer, and we scream. I jump up from the rock just as Sirius runs after me. I run away from my sopping boyfriend, but he closes in quickly, and grabs my waist. His wet hair clings to his face and he smiles picking me up wedding style.

"Smile," he says just as James clicks a small camera. "Now one of everyone!" We all gather around even Peter and James sets the camera up. He runs back to the group putting his arm around Lily just before the flash. Then they all take off.

"Sirius!" I yell as he carries me to the water. His wet t-shirt is soaking my clothes. He ignores me cries and steps onto the dock. My eyes widen when I realize what he's about to do. I thrash around wildly screaming at him to put me down. He smirks as he jumps off the edge and we both hit the water.

I sink like a rock at first, but I kick away from Sirius and begin to stroke up towards the surface. I come up out of the water gasping for air with Sirius right beside me grinning. "The water's nice," he remarks casually.

I smack his arm and notice Kaelin has been dragged into the water despite her protests as well. She smacked Remus the same way I smacked Sirius. Lily is still putting up a fight, but James held her tightly by the waist. She eventually gives up and James throws her off the dock and jumps in after her.

"I was just getting dry!" Kaelin whines.

"Come on Kaelin! Have some fun!" Sirius calls to her. I laugh ducking back under the water. Sirius lifts me up catching me by the waist once more.

"Let me go!" I cry.

"Lighten up!" he says kissing me softly. I can't help but smile now, and he looks happier than ever.

"Hey love birds! Come join the fun!" James calls grinning. I sigh wondering what possessed James to ruin everything before swimming over to the others. This has turned out to be one of the best days of my life.

Sirius

My day couldn't be any better. I've gone so slowly with Sam lately. I've been so scared of losing her. Today changes things. I finally kiss her like I've been wanting to for weeks since the Hospital Wing, and she smiles.

We swim over to the others who are splashing each other again. To any passersby, we probably look like a bunch of five year olds, but we don't care. This is our idea of fun.

Peter has been so distant lately, but today, he's back to the old Peter. He has fun, and I know he feels slightly left out being the only single one, but he covers it pretty well.

Tomorrow we leave for Easter. I'm going to Sam's as always, but this time will be different. Sam wants to tell her parents about us now. I know her mom will be overjoyed and fuss over us until we leave, but I'm afraid of what her dad will say.

I know he told me to go for it, but now that I have, will he change his mind? Will he suddenly decide I'm not good enough for his daughter? I couldn't bear it if that happens. I'll have to just stop worrying about it. Sam's happy, and that's all that matters to me.

I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. It won't be long before we're out of Hogwarts for good. To be honest, it's a little frightening. I know I'll have a place to stay once I'm out, but I can't stay with Sam's parents forever. Soon I'll have to get a job and a place for myself.

I'm not sure I'm ready to grow up just yet. If I could freeze this one moment in time, I'd do it in a heartbeat. All of my favorite people in the same place having the time of their lives. It doesn't get any better, and with Voldemort rising like he is, I know there won't be too many more of these moments. I don't think I can let all this go just yet.

Only a few more chapters...so sad. :( But they will be good chapters! Way better than the one b4 this which was stupid I know :) Hopefully long too.
