Harry walked through the DADA classroom towards Professor Lupin's office. He entered the room to see packing his stuff.

"Hello, Harry." Lupin greeted

Harry gave him a confused expression, wondering how the Professor knew he was there.

"I saw you coming." Lupin explained, pointing at the Marauders map. Harry looked at the Professor noticing his scars, giving him a concerned look. "I've looked worse, believe me." Lupin said

"You've been sacked." Harry observed

"No. No. I resigned, actually."

"Resigned? Why?" Harry asked

"Well, it seems that somebody let slip the nature of my condition. This time tomorrow, the owls will start arriving and parents will not want a... well, someone like me teaching their children."

"But Dumbledore-"

"Dumbledore has already risked enough on my behalf. Besides, people like me are... well, let's just say that I'm used to it by now." Remus cut Harry off.

He flicked his wand, making his trunk close.

"Why do you look so miserable, Harry?"

"None of it made any difference. Pettigrew escaped."

"Didn't make any difference? Harry, it made all the difference in the world. You uncovered the truth. You saved an innocent man from a terrible fate. It made a great deal of difference. If I am proud of anything it is of how much you have learnt this year. Now, since I am no longer your teacher I feel no guilt whatsoever about giving this back to you."

He pointed to the Marauders map.

"So now I'll say goodbye, Harry. I feel sure we'll meet again sometime. Until then mischief managed."

He left the room.

Everyone was in the great hall for their last meal before going back home.

"Stand back, I said! Or I'll take it upstairs if you don't settle." Ron threatened

"Harry." Neville said running up to him, "wherever did you get it?"

"Can I have a go, Harry. After you, of course." Seamus smiled

"What are you talking about?" Harry asked

"Quiet." Ron warned, "let the man through. I didn't mean to open it, Harry. It was badly wrapped. They made me do it." He pointed at the twins.

"Did not." They said simultaneously

Harry removed the wrapping paper to see a perfectly new shiny broom.

"It's a Firebolt." George said

"It's the fastest broom in the world." Fred added

Harry looked amazed, he reached out his hand to touch it. "For me?" He asked

"Who else?" (Y/N) chuckled

"But who sent it?"

"No one knows." Ron told Harry

"This came with it." Hermione said, handing Harry a quill.

Harry grabbed the broom and rushed to the courtyard, the other Gryffindors following behind him. Harry got on the broom, screaming as he kicked off into the air.

Everyone cheered from down below, amazed at how fast it went.

Everyone was on the train back home. (Y/N) was following her usual routine, saying goodbye to everyone, promising to write to them and promising to hang out with some people during the holidays.

The rest of the ride was normal, Hermione reading a book, Ron and Harry eating snacks Harry bought. (Y/N) eating some food, while drawing.

When the train finally stopped, everyone grabbed their stuff and got off. (Y/N), Harry, Ron and Hermione all stood in a group, waiting for their guardians to show.

Hermione was the first to leave, hugging them all goodbye and promising to hang out this summer. Ron then left, Harry and (Y/N) said goodbye to him and all the other Weasleys. Mrs Weasley promised to have them over during the holiday.

It was just Harry and (Y/N) left, they stood in awkward silence. Josh was supposed to go home with (Y/N) on the bus but he was obviously talking to Cedric instead of looking for her, she didn't mind though, she liked being with Harry.

Harry spotted the Dursleys from afar and decided he should say goodbye to (Y/N) now. He leaned in to kiss her on the cheek while she wasn't looking. But she turned her head, making him kiss her lips by accident.

The both pulled away from each other, blushing hard.

Harry nervously scratched the back of his neck, "sorry." He mumbled

"It's fine," (Y/N) chuckled. "It's my fault anyway, I moved my head."

"haha." Harry blushed

"You're cute, Potter." She smirked, standing in her tiptoes to pat his head.

Harry blushed even more, "shut up." He muttered, wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her into a hug.

(Y/N) walked her arms around his neck, Harry wanted to stay there forever. He felt a strange feeling of annoyance when (Y/N) pulled away.

"I'll see you during the holidays." She smiled softly.

That smiled warmed his heart.

"Yeah, see you." He smiled, before walking over to the Dursleys.

"Looks like you've got a crush~" Josh laughed, standing behind (Y/N).

She jumped at his voice, not knowing he was there. "Don't scare me." She laughed, "and shut up, you're head over heals in love with Cedric."

"Shut up." Josh stuttered, blush covering his cheeks and neck.

The sibling laughed before, traveling home on the bus.
