The time had come. Graduation.

It was May, and tomorrow night the Graduation Ceremony would take place, and afterwards, Prom. After that? Well, we would go to sleep and in the morning, leave Hogwarts forever.

I was a complete wreck. I didn't want to leave Hogwarts and the fact that my sanctuary was leaving me, made me want to cry. Lily and I had been shopping for our prom dresses a week ago, and despite nearly crying the whole entire time, I had bought a gorgeous strapless cream dress, that had a tight corset and had diamantes along the waistline. Just below the waist the dress was netted and puffed out, making my waist look very skinny. It matched my auburn hair perfectly and I absolutely adored it. I had decided to curl my hair, but pin my fringe back, with minimal makeup.

Lily looked beautiful in her stunning green dress. It was long and slim, coming right down to her ankles like mine did and had a v-neck and came down to her back on the back. It made her look very decent but had a cut up her leg that exposed her leg when she walked, which I knew James would absolutely love.

The day of Graduation had finally come and we had all been told to dress in our house robes, as well as suitable uniform. I didn't care what Minnie told me, I was going to wear my converses for the event; there was no way I was going to go in normal shoes.

The whole of my year sat on their house benches, with Dumbledore stood behind the podium like he usually did and read out our names in order of house. Gryffindor were third, and I was one of the last to be called out. I stood up, shaking with nerves and as I approached Dumbledore, I saw Sirius, James, Lily, Remus, Peter, Lily and Izzie stood behind me, and I realised how different we all looked. Suddenly I remembered the crystal ball scene and smiled, tears forming in my eyes.

Finally, the ceremony was over, and we had a couple of hours till Prom, but we decided to wait until last minute to get changed and we all went to sit down underneath the willow tree (Not the Whomping Will, another one by the Black Lake, don't worry!) And then, I saw Sirius talking urgently to James, who looked like he was going to pass out. The crystal ball scene. James proposed to Lily. Merlin's beard.

I was right. We all sat down and talked, then James stood up and cleared his throat.

'Lily, I've loved you since the first day you caught my eye. I've been chasing you for six long years now, and each time you'd tell me to shove off. I knew we were meant for each other, and it was just a matter of time before you said yes, and you did. You're everything to me and I love you so much, so Lily Evans-' He paused to bend down on one knee, reaching for a navy box out of his pocket, while Lily had stood up, tears glistening in her eyes and her hands covering her mouth, which I knew was in the shape of a perfect 'O' 'Will you marry me?' And that was when Lily starting crying. She threw her hands around James neck and screamed:

'Yes!' As they fell to the ground. Jumping up, everyone hugged James and Lily tightly, before we all lined up and got a stray third year to take a picture. It took pride of place next to the one of Lily, and me and I was planning to get it to morph into a picture of Sirius and I at Prom.

Prom was soon upon us, and as Lily and I got changed and put our makeup on, it hit me that this was the last night I would ever stay at Hogwarts, before I left tomorrow morning.

'Avalon? You ready?' I nodded quickly and pushed the thought to the back of my mind as we prepared to walk down the stairs into the Common Room. Lily's hair was straight, and she had clipped a green flower in her hair, matching her dress perfectly. My hair was curly, and I looked very vintage, with my locket around my neck and a netted cream bow in my hair, holding my fringe back. Izzie had bought a black dress, that was very short and she had matched with her very tall stilettos. Her wavy brown hair had been put into a messy bun, and the room now had its usual smell of hairspray. She had black-rimmed eyes and a dark red lipstick, she looked gorgeous.

As we walked down the stairs, we saw Remus, James and Sirius all stood talking, but were silenced when they saw us. Sirius' mouth dropped open, James smirked at his 'fiancé' and Remus went a light shade of red. They all looked incredibly handsome, but as always, Sirius' hair looked messy and neat at the same time.

'Well' Sirius said, clearing his throat and looking me up and down.

'Eyes are up here Sirius' I chuckled.

'I know, but you look very beautiful tonight' Blushing, I looked at the floor and pretended to smooth the net of my dress down.

'Thank you, you don't look that bad yourself'

'I clean up well don't I?' He winked and I linked my arm through his, as we all made are way to the Great Hall.

James and Lily were laughing and I saw Remus and Izzie talking shyly, they still didn't really know how to act around each other.

Outside the Great Hall, Filch had been convinced to take pictures of each couple, but he still grumbled as he took the picture of Sirius and me. Later that night, it would be the picture that the Graduation picture morphed into, and I smiled as we entered the Great Hall, seeing it decorated with house colours, yellow, red, blue and green. The middle of the hall was clear, and everybody was staying well clear of this area: The dance floor.

We managed to grab a table before the Hall became too busy and it was then I managed to get a good look on other people's dates. Eventually Peter joined us, with a shy blonde Hufflepuff, Sarah I think her name was. I saw Severus hadn't got a date, but Lily didn't notice, she was too busy talking to James, and showing Sarah her engagement ring. Avery was with a cold looking Slytherin, who had waist long black hair, and ice blue eyes. She wore a black netted dress, similar to mine but much shorter, and she had huge stilettos on, I must admit, every boy in the room except for the boys on our table were staring at her. I remembered her name now, Catriona. Cat as most of her followers called her. She was basically the girl version of Sirius, and had a huge group of followers.

Soon the dance was nearly over, and I managed to drag Sirius onto the dance floor when a slow song came on. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he placed his hands round my waist, as I rested my head on his chest. Lily and James also entered the dance floor, and I realised how happy they looked together.

'They look so happy' I sighed and Sirius looked down at me.

'That will be us one day, wait and see' I looked up from his chest to see him smiling widely at me, I could picture us getting married.

'You think?'

'Definitely'

'Well, if we get married, im wearing this dress, its so pretty'

'I agree, it's a very beautiful dress'

'You think they'll have a kid?' I nodded towards Sirius and he sighed.

'Oh definitely, and I bet anything it will look like James, and be just as arrogant, but maybe be as competitive as Lily' Sirius replied, and I pictured the crystal ball image in my head again, the boy I saw did look like James, but had Lily's eyes. Maybe that was their kid after all.

'Our kid will definitely look like you, but a girl version'

'You think we'll have a girl?' He asked, and I smiled into his chest.

'Oh definitely, I wouldn't be able to cope with another one of you'

'Flattering, but I bet the girl will be a Metamorphmagus, with your eyes' I pictured it in my head, yeah, that would be cool.

'I got that off my Grandmother you know, on my fathers side obviously' I explained, remembering being told by my Grandmother when I was nine, just before she died.

'What was she like?' Sirius asked.

'She was a nice person, and she always described Hogwarts to me, she went there as a kid'

'Did she? What house was she in?'

'She was in Gryffindor. She was sorted in her fourth year though, she transferred from a Spanish school at the age of fourteen'

'That would explain your knowledge of Spanish'

'Yep, she taught me the language'

We danced for a while longer, just turning slowly in circles, my head never leaving Sirius' chest. But eventually, we had to go back to our dorms, and I decided there was absolutely no way I was staying in my dorm; I wouldn't be able to cope in the morning. Luckily, Sirius agreed because James was also letting Lily stay the night, and eventually we convinced Remus when Izzie was at the bathroom to ask her as well.

My dress was folded neatly on top of Sirius trunk at the end of his bed, and I ended up sleeping in Sirius old t-shirt and boxer shorts again. We were talking on Sirius bed when we heard giggling from James' bed, where the curtains were drawn. Exchanging looks, we both rolled our eyes as I muttered:

'They better not make their future baby now, I wont be able to get to sleep!'

'Well, they are engaged' Sirius chuckled, probably laughing at the image of it.

'That still doesn't give them an excuse to do it when other people are in the room!'

'Fine, I'll sort it' Sirius said, before yelling loudly: 'OY! PRONGS! THERE IS NO NEED TO MAKE YOUR FUTURE BABY NOW! WAIT ANOTHER NIGHT FOR MERLINS SAKE! GOODNIGHT!' I laughed, hearing James grumble about something, and imagining Lily's face was probably bright red.

'Night Sirius' I said, rolling onto my side and burying my head into the pillow, closing my eyes.

'Night Rusty, love you' Sirius said, while ruffling my hair. Glaring I turned over and flicked him on the head.

'Idiot. Love you too' I grumbled, turning over and falling over to the sound of Sirius quiet laughter.
