*One month later*

Ivory's POV:

Dinner was being served in the Great Hall. I said, "God, I'll miss this." dropping my knife on the table. My friends all looked over at me.

"What do you mean, Ivory?", Fred asked.

"Is she going insane again?", Ron asked as he munched on a piece of chicken.

"Don't be an ass, Ronald Weasley!", Hermione hushed, giving him an intimidating look.

"Just all of this..., together.", I mumbled.

Harry frowned and said, "Are you finishing school early?"

"No I am not, but I think a lot about my future and how life will be different after this is all over."

"Right.", Harry nodded.

I looked down and felt all eyes on me. Everyone was silent during the meal. I created a strange vibe around us. After dinner we all left the Great Hall, and went up to our dorms. Ginny put on her record player and we danced until we got tired. Hermione sat down on her bed and said, "Rory can I ask you something?"

"Sure, go on.", I panted.

She mumbled something, but I was unable to understand her correctly. "Repeat that for me, please?"

Hermione shook her head, "Never mind."

"Pease tell me Moine."

She inquired, "Alright, you aren't hiding anything from us, are you?"

"Why would I?"

"Well, you've been talking a lot lately about not being here and your future. And honestly, we are concerned about it. If you want to talk to us, you can."

"I'm doing fine. There is something I need to tell you, but I'll share that later. Now it's not the right time."

"Oh okay, talk to us when you are ready.", Hermione smiled at me.

Draco's POV:

I went to the Gryffindor Common room to see my princess. Everyone was already used to it, with me visiting the common room even though I wasn't allowed to. My mood was pretty good today. I knocked on the door and it magically opened. Ivory sat on one of the sofa's with Ginny and Hermione.

"Hey babe."

"You seem happy?", she smiled.

"I am excited to see you, darling."

Hermione and Ginny giggled while Ivory gathered her stuff. She smiled and took my hand, "Ready to go?" I nodded and we headed out. "Wait.", she said as she ran back into the common room, leaving me in the hallway.

Ivory's POV:

"Did you forget something?", Ginny asked when she saw me coming back in.

"No, but before I go... I wanted to say that I loved you two."

"Ahw Ivory, we love you too!" They hugged me tightly.

"I have to go now, Draco is waiting for me.", I said closing the door.

Hermione's POV:

Ivory gave us a big hug before she left. "She is so affectionate today.", I laughed.

"Don't you think something's up?", Ginny asked.

"What do you mean?", I frowned.

Ginny stood up from the sofa and explained, "Well, maybe she isn't feeling very well mentally... Her moods change completely from day to day. She is not herself."
