After I showed the evidence to McGonagall, I didn't see Atticus in class for days. Since he wasn't in Potions, I asked Scorpius to be my partner. Together, we strolled down to the lake, gazing at the spring landscape. The air was cold and dry, but the sun had cut through the grey and was glittering on the lake. Dew-covered grass was soft beneath our shoes as we admired the delicate amber flowers in bloom, it was all so new and alive.

We sat down next to it and I didn't have the heart to pick it yet, just smile at its blissful peace. But Scorpius nodded to me, so I plucked it and handed it to him.

From the beams of sunlight on the lake, a reflection shows two boys sat in each other's embrace, looked upon in hope by Hogwarts Castle, nestled in the green mountains, smiling.
