Epilogue

Yetao put his last clothes in the suitcase and closed it. Finally he finished packing his belongings, ready for his summer vacation to start.

"All ready?" Jiayuan asked. Yetao nodded. "Good. Let's go to the others."

They had decided together with his friends to gather up at the Courtyard in front of the castle, so they could leave and get on the train together. When they arrived there, only his Gryffindors friends were still missing.

"Why are they always late?" Fu Sichao asked irritated.

"I'm sure Caelan and Mika are the ones responsible." Zhang Jiayuan said.

"Ah, here they are." Yetao said, spotting his friends from afar.

"I'm sorry! We have been ready for a while, but Caelan and Mika were having a competition about who was the best arranger of clothes, so here we are." Keyu said, reaching them and throwing dirty looks at the culprits.

"In my defence, Mika started it." Caelan said.

"That's not true! Caelan is the culprit." Mika replied.

"See? What did I say? I knew it was their fault." Jiayuan said to Sichao.

Oscar came closer to Yetao and kissed his cheek. Then he took his hand. "Are you all packed up and ready to go?" Oscar asked him with a smile. Yetao nodded happily.

"Oh my God, I can't take all this sweetness so early in the morning. You lovebirds better stay away from me or you'll infect me with your love germs." Fu Sichao complained while watching them.

"Be careful what you say, Fu Sichao. You'll end up alone like a dog at this rate." Yetao laughed at him. Fu Sichao stuck his tongue out to answer him.

Oscar threw his arm around Yetao's shoulder. "We should go or we will miss the train."

"Let's go!" His friends answered together.

When they arrived at the station after the train ride, Oscar and Yetao separated from their friends.

"So you are really going to travel across the country together?" Keyu asked them.

"Of course we are! We made a promise after all. Right?" Oscar answered looking at Yetao, who nodded at his question.

"Have fun on your honeymoon!" Caelan said. Then he left like the others.

"Seriously, I'm going to murder him in September." Oscar said, clenching his fist.

"Oh come on, he was kidding." Yetao replied with a laugh. Then he took Oscar's hand and interlocked their fingers. "So... where are we going?"

"Wherever you want to go, Taotao. As long as I'm with you, we can go anywhere." Oscar answered.

Yetao blushed furiously at his words, making leaves, pieces of paper or whatever was on the ground swinging in the air. "Oscar, please, you need to warn me before saying things like that." He said in frustration. Yetao still had difficulties in controlling his powers, especially when Oscar was concerned. Even though they have been together for a while now, he wasn't still used to Oscar's cheesiness.

Oscar laughed at his reaction. "We can start by going to the sea. You wanted to see it, right?"

Yetao nodded with a smile. "Sounds good."

"Let's go then." Oscar pulled Yetao with him, and together they made the first step towards their unforgettable summer.
