A/N: Here it is! the last chapter! Thank you so much to everyone who's followed and favourited this story! This only a short chapter to end, but it ends on the perfect note for the sequel. The sequel will be when Pyxis is in fifth year, so the rating will be different as i want it to be true to a modern teenager's life. I will also be doing a small James/ Pyxis story at some point about the time they argued. Look out for that one.

The sequel will be called 'A snake pit or a Lion's Den?' and the first chapter will be up within a few days. Hope you've enjoyed Pyxis' first year! PLEASE REVIEW :*

The party was a very long and elated one. Pyxis laughed and drank butterbeer for hours. The euphoria of Gryffindor winning the cup lasted well over a week. The Gryffindor team would sit in the common room together, eat meals together and hang out. Pyxis also passed Roscoe Smith in the halls. Turns out, he broke his nose so badly that Madam Pomfrey couldn't fix it all right away, so he had to wear a splint for three days. Whenever they passed each other, Smith would narrow his eyes and shoot a sour look. The euphoria was not to last because exams were fast approaching. Pyxis hardly ever saw Ezra during the exam period unless they went to the library together.

'I completely failed that one.' Dominique said dejectedly.

'Well, at least you're guaranteed to do better than me.' Fred laughed. I definitely made up all of the goblin names I just used.'

Laughter ensued. Pyxis, along with James, Dominique and Fred were sat under a large oak tree by the lake after sitting their last exam. Pyxis was laying on her back, legs across James' lap. She looked at him.

'What's wrong?'

James snapped out of his daydream.

'Nothing.'

'No, there's something wrong, I know your expressions too well Mr Potter.'

'Well, it's just.. the end of the year. We're not going to be all together again until September.'

'Don't be stupid. We'll write.'

'Not the same' He muttered grumpily. They sat in a sad silence. Pyxis had grown very close to the three of them. James was right, she was going to miss them all terribly. Teddy came striding over.

'Why do you all look as if you've been hit in the face with a bludger?'

'End of the year. We won't see Pyxis til September now.' Dom explained.

'Well why can't she come over during the summer?'

'We go away for four weeks and spend the rest with family and stuff.' Pyxis mumbled sadly.

'Ah. Well I guarantee summer will go faster than you think. Pyx do you mind doing me a favour? Can you go give this to Mcgonagall for me?' he handed her a sealed envelope. 'I need to head to my last exam. It's my recommendations for next year's Quidditch captain, so no looking!'
Pyxis smiled at him. Teddy gave her a wink and walked towards the castle.

'Catch up with you guys in the common room?' She asked.

This time Pyxis managed to remember how to get to the headmistress' office.
'Wulfric' she stated confidently, and the Griffin began to revolve into a set of steps. She got to the top of the steps and found the door was slightly ajar. She heard two voices coming from inside. She didn't mean to eavesdrop. Honestly.

'To have another prophecy like this is unnerving.' A deep, commanding voice boomed.

'I don't think so, it could mean anything?'

Professor Mcgonagall.

'Dark forces Minerva. That's what it says. There's no way he could come back but what about the people still loyal to his ideals?'

Who were they talking about? What ideals? If it was dark forces that probably means-

'What's the whole thing again?

'Dark forces shall rise up again,
To take revenge on the one held responsible.
One cornered in a snake pit,

Will rise up and get bitten or cower and hide.
This choice will end their days or end their roar.

One will die at the negligence of a friend, or at the hands of one they called ally.'

Pyxis's mind was spinning. A prophecy about dark forces rising? She felt sick. If it was dark forces, it probably meant pureblood fanatics, A.K.A the "pureblood upper class" as her grandmother would say. And a snake pit? Surely that's got to be something to do with Slytherin. But it also says roar. Gryffindor? She didn't know what to think. The talking had ended, Pyxis snapped back to the present. She had to act like she hadn't heard anything. She rapped on the door.

'Come in.'

She pushed open the door and saw the other voice belonged to a tall, dark- skinned wizard with a single hoop earring in his left ear.

'Minister, this is Pyxis Malfoy, a Gryffindor first year. Pyxis, this is Kingsley Shacklebolt, Minister of Magic.'

Pyxis nodded politely. 'Nice to meet you minister.'

He smiled widely. 'Nice to meet you too.'

Pyxis turned back to the headmistress and handed her Teddy's letter.

'Teddy's recommendation letter. He's in an exam.'

'Thank you.'

She nodded at Pyxis, clearly indicating that this was her opportunity to leave. Pyxis swiftly turned around and exited. But before she had fully closed the door, Mcgonagall and the minister started talking again.

'A Malfoy in Gryffindor. A Lion among snakes. You don't think-'

'No. Absolutely not. I will not have more childhoods ruined by prophecies. It can't be.'

That's it! Cliffhanger! Read the sequel to find out more! 'A snake pit or a lion's den?' Will be posted within a few days!
