If Chantal had known the cost of her choices, she would have never left her compartment on the Hogwarts Express. The students of Hogwarts still speak about the infamous Miss Sparrow's years at Hogwarts.

The best friends sat together in the secret crawlspace, enjoying the last hours of Hogwarts together. Dina and Ernest had even roller-skated around the hallways. Anything to make the best time possible for both Nathaniel and Ernest, who would not come back the next year.
The six had talked for an hour already until the time came to walk back to their Common Rooms and gather their things before going back.
''What if I just sit here? I can get ALL the food and even sneak out during nighttime? No one will find me,'' Ernest said, clutching the wall in a hectic tone.
''I'd love to do that as well,'' Nathaniel added in a calmer voice.
He and Chantal shared a glance, thinking still about their plan for the summer.
''I can't imagine how it will be here without you,'' Dina added. ''I just...''
''I've heard that we're going to add Manuel and Stephen to the mix?'' Gerald asked. ''Nate, you'll be replaced!''
Chantal laughed, shaking her head.
''I won't force you guys to like them as much as I do... but I can't leave them be... just because I don't have a dick anymore,''
Everyone laughed, Chantal and Nathaniel, sharing a couple of glances before. No one could replace Nathaniel.
''Dina, I wanted to arrange something with you while we're here,'' Chantal continued. ''since we decided that it'd be best for me to live with you for a while until I find a way to live somewhere, Nate suggested spending a week with him as well. That way you'll get rid of me for a bit.''
''Hey, you're stealing Chan away from me!'' Dina insisted.
''I'm not,'' Nathaniel held his hands up. ''I just want to spend some time with her as well.''
Victoria caught a glimpse of Chantal's reddened cheeks and her eyes widened. She smiled to herself.
''So what about your parents? Has Dumbledore arranged something?'' Gerald wondered.
Chantal briefly explained that she wrote to them that Sebastian would be staying with a friend, but didn't specify with whom. Dumbledore had agreed to the plan, ensuring that both she and her parents would be watched.
''I hope for the best in all this... we'll come to visit you two,'' Victoria said, smiling.
''Thank you, guys... I really can't imagine how this will be. Considering everything, though, I think I'll just enjoy being somewhere without Umbridge or Malfoy again,'' Chantal replied.
Chantal, Victoria, and Gerald left the Slytherin Common Room behind them, knowing that their belongings would get transferred to the Hogwarts Express soon. There was no way they'd be able to handle all that luggage on their own while walking through the castle.
