A year in the life of Harry Potter
Chapter 47: September, 11
"You know," Quentin said, looking above the Forbidden Forest, "sometimes I don't know if it's worth it. Trying to become a fashion designer I mean." She and Harry were on the Astronomy Tower watching the sunset.
"Don't," Harry told her. "If you give up your dream a part of you dies."
"Yes, but think about yesterday. Daddy - he nearly slapped me."
"Because you were smoking hemp. He just over reacted. Anyway, I'm sure that it hurt him more than you think that Lucy suddenly left Hogwarts."
"I know how she felt," Quentin muttered. "Everyone blamed her when you broke your arm. It was just too much to take anymore, just like it was too much for me to have double potions today."
"You skipped potions?" Harry exclaimed.
"Sure. Daddy probably doesn't want to see me again anyways."
"Of course he does! You're his daughter, Quentin."
"But I disappointed him!" she cried. "I never ever before did that, Harry."
"There's always a first time," Harry smiled. In return he got an evil look.
"Look," he said. "Didn't you tell me on the way back from Holland that the sunset symbolizes the end of everything to you? Let it be the end of this big mess."
"Thanks for trying," Quentin said, giving him a quick hug. "I need to get my homework for tomorrow finished. See you later, Harry." A moment later she disappeared.
Albus sat in his office, thinking. He needed a new Muggle Studies Professor. He had to talk to Severus about Lucy. Furthermore had to talk to Quintella Wintergarten/ Snape and Tony Brown about the drug incident Severus had told him about. Then he had to send Hagrid to Gringotts to empty his vault as his friend had decided it was too dangerous to keep the only thing that could help him stay alive in Diagon Alley where anyone could steal it. Additionally Minerva had talked to him about taking over the Gryffindors' surprise for the Triwizard Tournament. On top of all he had to try and think of a way to get Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley closer. This was going to be a busy week.
