At Cedric Diggory's funeral, I sat next to Harry and Ron. Hermione sat on the other side of Harry. Dumbledore stood in the front of the room, giving his speech.
"Today, we acknowledge a really terrible loss. Cedric Diggory was, as you all know, exceptionally hardworking, infinitely fair minded, and most importantly, a fierce, fierce friend. Now, I think therefore, you have the right to know exactly how he died. You see, Cedric Diggory was murdered by Lord Voldemort".
I looked up from the ground. This whole time, I had my head down in sadness. Now, I looked at Dumbledore.
Voldemort is back?
"The Ministry of Magic does not wish me to tell you this. But not to do so, I think would be an insult to his memory. Now, the pain we all feel at this dreadful loss reminds me, reminds us, that while we may come from different places and speak in different tongues, our hearts beats as one. And light of recent events, the bonds of Friendship we made this year, will be more important than ever. Remember that, and Cedric Diggory will not have died in vein. You remember that and we'll celebrate a boy who was kind and honest and brave and true. Right to the very end".

On the day we went home, I said goodbye to Harry, Ron and Hermione. I found the Ginny, Fred and George on my way to the train.
"Ready, sunshine?" Fred and George asked in union. They both reached their hand out for me to grab it.
I grabbed their hands. "Ready", I said. We walked towards the train. I looked at Ginny. "When we return, things won't be the same, will they?"
"Of course not", Ginny said. "But we got each other, right?"
I nodded. "Right", I said. I smiled at Ginny. "Remember to send an owl or contact me with a mirror".
"I will call you everyday", Ginny said.
"You're gonna get sick of me", I said.
"Doubt it", Fred said.
"Who can get sick of you, Iris Black?" George asked.
I smiled at the twins. "Are you going to continue your quest, sunshine?" Fred asked. I told the twins about my quest to find Pettigrew.
"Seems like it", I said.
"We wish you luck".
"Don't die".
"Let us know if you need help".
The twins treated me like a sister. They always called me, "Sunshine".
I saw Jack get onto the train. He looked back at me and winked.
I realized that I was a different person than I was before I came to Hogwarts. With Voldemort back, what's gonna happen? How will we defeat him once and for all?
Today, I was going back to the house that I call home, the house I grew up in. But I've opened my eyes. I may live in a life full of Magic, Wizards, Witches and Monsters, but from now on, nobody's safe.
