Chapter 33 - One Of Us
"Professor Lupin," I say I enter the room. It was almost empty.
"Hello," He says. I smile.
"Leaving?" I ask him. He nods.
"The whole werewolf thing might not sit well with parents so I resigned," He says. I nod.
"Well you were one of my favorite teachers," I admit, "Mikey's too."
"He was a good young man," He says, "that shouldn't of happened to him."
"I know," I say to Remus, "but it unfortunately did." He places a hand on my shoulder.
"How are you holding up?" He asks.
"Could be worse," I say, "I just wanted to say thanks."
"For?" He asks.
"Mikey died being the Hero he always wanted to be," I tell him, "how heroic is debatable but still. You helped him get his hero mission. Sirius is safe and alive. And people know he's innocent."
"It lead to him dying," He says in shame.
"I'm the one who sent him after Harry," I tell him, "if he didn't go then it would have been me. Regardless a child would of died." He nods. I pull him into a hug and sigh. He hugs back and sighs.
"Whats this for?" He asks.
"You seemed like you needed one," I tell him, "and I need one. Win win." I pull away and he nods.
"You're a good kid," He says, "I hope life treats you well."
"You too Remus," I say as I leave the classroom.

"Stand back, I said! Or I'll take it upstairs if you don't settle," Ron snaps at the crowd. I carefully sit on the table by the twins and the package. It was for Harry obviously. And everyone was itching to know what it was.
"Harry. Wherever did you get it?" Neville asks.
"Can I have a go, Harry?" Seamus asks, "After you, of course."
"What are you talking about?" Harry asks.
"Oi Quiet," I hiss, "let Harry figure out himself."
"Let the man through," Ron says as Harry Joins us, "I didn't mean to open it, Harry. It was badly wrapped. They made me do it." Ron points to the twins and I chuckle.
"Did not," They say in unison.
"Did too!" I say.
"Hush woman," Fred says. I roll my eyes and turn to Harry.
"Open it," I say. He nods and starts to pull to paper back. Revealing the broom.
"It's a Firebolt," Ron says.
"It's the fastest broom in the world," Fred adds.
"For me?" Harry asks, "But who sent it?"
"-No one knows," Ron says. Harry looks at me and I shrug.
"Not me," I tell him.
"This came with it," Hermione says holding up one of Buckbeak's feathers.
"-Go on, Harry!"
"Yeah, let's see."
"How fast is it, Harry?"
Harry hopes on the broom and zips through the sky. The broom pulling him left and right slighly until he gets the hang of it. I catch Draco in the corner of my eye pouting. But before I can step towards him Fred and George pull me towards them. "Whats up?" I ask them.
"Welcome to the Weasleys!" They say excitedly.
"What?" I ask.
"Ron was supposed to tell you," Fred says.
"But we wanted to," George says. Ron runs up and looks at them.
"Did you tell her?" Ron asks.
"Tell me what?" I ask them.
"You're god mother," Ginny says joining us.
"I don't have one," I tell them. They share a look.
"Yeah you do," Ron says.
"You're god mother is the one the only........" George says.
"Molly Weasley," Fred announces.
"What?" I ask.
"You're coming home with us," Ginny says, "mum insists."
"She doesn't want you to go home alone," Ron says, "since Mikey." I smile at the family of redheads.
"Great," I say. I hug Ginny and then the rest. "You're not getting rid of me now."
"We are fully prepared," Fred teases. I shove his arm and smile. Hermione runs over with Harry who our both smiling.
"Ron tell you?" Harry asks.
"The whole Weasley family did," I tell them. They nod and I look around me. I guess I have family still after all.

"Does it ever get easier to leave this place?" I ask Hermione. She shakes her head no. Once again I sat at the train station. And once again my eyes go straight to the platinum blonde. "You know the deal... I'll catch up." She nods and I walk to Draco.
"Cultlven," He says.
"Malfoy," I say. He shoos away his goons leaving it as just us.
"How are you feeling?" He asks.
"Better," I admit, "I was thinking. Life's really short. So I need to stop over thinking." He nods and I bit my lip. "So I wanted to know if you'd go out with me?"
"Of course," He says slightly baffled. I smirk and connect my lips to his.
"Great," I say pulling away, "don't forget to write." He grabs my hand again and pulls me closer. I comply and move back to him. Where he once again connects his lips to mine. As if it was the last time he would ever see me. I pull away and nod. "I really like you Draco."
"I really like you too," He says. I smirk.
"Good," I say.
