Hogwarts Graduates- The Final Day of Hogwarts

First topic message reminder :

"......Zeth Zymbler," Professor McGonagal called, and Zeth accepted his award, "Well, thats everyone. Goodbye and good luck students, you have a few hours before the Hogwarts Express arrives....make the most of it."
Graduation day. Holly would never have thought seven years ago that on this day she would be happily accepting her scroll for McGonagal along with everyone else. She assumed she would be expelled before then.
"Last day Georgie," Holly stroked her monkey, "Y'gonna miss it here?"
"Yes," George said sadly, "Very much. Mostly the people though....where are we going to go now?"
Holly sighed.
"I dunno," she said uncomfortably.
The seventeen year old skimmed a flat rock into the black lake, wondering.

Shadow followed her gaze.

"What about Jamie?" Holly plucked up the courage to ask at last.

"We're getting married." Shadow said.

Holly's eyes lit up.
"Excellent!" she said grinning, "When?"

"We haven't decided yet." Shadow said.

Holly smiled.
"Thats great," she said seriously, "And I would just like to say, that I saw that coming from day one."

Shadow raised an eyebrow.

"I did!" Holly said nodding, "Seriously! I was like, aw I bet you they'll end up married! The only one of the couples that I predicted, that actually worked out. YAY! One out of three!"

Shadow smiled, shaking her head.

"Im like, so smart .... do you think theres any chance of George and Natalie hooking up?" Holly asked seriously.

"Er... no." Shadow said.

"Aw," Holly said glumly, "I suck at everything ... "

Shadow smiled again.
"Seriously, George is like, a monkey."

"Oh yeah thats right," Holly said slapping her forhead, "I forget. Where'd he get to anyways ... HEY! Maybe him and Nat are like, in a bush somewhere..."

"I don't want to think about that..." Shadow muttered.

"Me either," Holly said, but peeked into a bush just to make sure.

Shadow sighed at her friend's over active imagination.

Holly was relieved for a whole minute, until George walked toward them, hair in messy clumps, and out of breath.
"Okay thats really wrong," Holly said.

Shadow rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Hi, I just went swimming for one last time," George said.
"THANK GOD!" Holly said clutching her heart.

Shadow chuckled quietly to herself.

Holly laughed.
"We thought you like ... were doing it with Nat ... gross ..."

"Correction, SHE thought that." Shadow said.

Holly nodded.
"Yeah. Just me. But Shadow was thinking it too."

"No, I didn't, and you can search my mind if you want to prove it." Shadow said.

"I would love to search someones mind!" Holly said excitedly, "But that might be mean. An invasion of privacy... "

"And you really don't want to see my mind." Shadow said.

"Is it really inappropriate?" Holly asked seriously.

"No, it's really chaotic, that's all." Shadow said.

"Oh," Holly said sadly, "You can look into mine if you want, but its all jumbled and not much makes sense .." she laughed.

"I think I'll pass." Shadow said with a smile.

"Thats a good idea," Holly said smiling.

Shadow smiled at her friend.

Holly grinned and kicked a rock on the ground.
"DO YOU MIND?" the rock asked, and stormed away.
"Oops," Holly said.

Shadow chuckled until something sot under her legs, tripping her up. Shadow rubbed her head and got to her feet to see a black wolf cub sitting at her feet.
"Archangel..." Shadow said. The wolf turned into her violet-haired, five-year-old daughter.

Holly snorted.
"Hey kid," she said.

Archangel turned round and looked up at Holly.
"Hello..." Shadow got to her feet again.
"Holly, this is the elder of my twins, Archangel."

"Nice to meetcha again," Holly said holding her hand out.

Archangel shook Holly's hand, smiling.

Holly smiled back.
"Awesome," she said, continuing to walk around the lake.

Archangel and Shadow walked with her.

"You gonna come here kid?" Holly asked Archangel.

Matt, walked in hoping that all his friends they were there

"Matt!" Holly called, waving at him, "Over here dude!"

Matt smiled and made his way over
"Hello!" he said waving

"Congrats," Holly said, "We graduated! YAY!"

Shadow nodded her head at Matthew, one hand on Archangel's shoulder to keep her close.

"Funny I dont trust him either," Holly said nodding wisely at Shadows movement.

Shadow raised one eyebrow.
"Funny, that's not what I heard."

"Huh?" Holly asked, with an innocent expression.
