We stepped out of the castle, all the seventh years together. Hagrid led us down towards the boat house and one by one everyone got into the boat, four at a time. The teachers stood along with Professor Dumbledore watching us depart for the last time from the grounds. I got into the boat with Sean, Mason and Davies. I looked back at Severus and then the castle.
So much happened in these seven years within these walls, I made lifelong friendship with Sean, Amy and Haoran, fell in love with Severus, fought my fears, landed up as a criminal, got freed of all charges as well, led the Slytherin Quidditch team to win the Quidditch cup and learned so much from all the teachers. Then I looked at Sean and he looked back at me too.
"I will miss you so much Sean." I held on to his hands. He gripped mine tightly.
"I will miss you too Rosa. I will miss everything. I will miss sneaking around with you, Hao and Amy, doing home-works, watching you play Quidditch, lying under the Beech tree, going to Hogsmeade and the dinner in the Great Hall with the three of you." He wiped off his tears.
"Come here you emotional mess," I put my arm around him and he leaned his head on my shoulder. We both looked back at the castle for one last time and then looked up straight ahead as the boats drifted away slowly towards Hogsmeade.
There was no looking back anymore. We were on our own now. No more Slytherin or Gryffindor or Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff; it's just the world against us. And I was pretty sure I would handle it anyhow because no matter what, I was never alone. I had the best bunch of humans behind me and Severus.
We boarded the Hogwarts Express for one last time and I was so looking forward to moving in with Severus and beginning my new life as a witch outside Hogwarts.
****************************************************************
We apparated in front of Severus's home, he pulled my trunk with him and led me in. I have been here before many times but today seemed a bit different. He has cleaned it up. There was no more dust, things looked shiny. He levitated my trunk up the stairs into his room and as soon as I stepped in, a waft of his cologne filled my nose. I was in his room. And I was going to stay here from now on. No more sneaking, it's just us.
Severus placed the trunk in the middle of the room and stared back at me.
"I cleaned it up for you, removed all the dust and made space for you and also made a little changes. I even cleaned the other room and changed it into a study room.......for us. Do you want to see it?" I nodded and he held my hand leading me to the other room. I have seen it only once before. He opened the door and I realised he has changed most of it. The bed and the side table were gone. There were empty shelves placed in there now, a large table by the window, two comfortable chairs kept at the side of the table, the curtains were replaced and the wallpapers were also replaced too now with a lighter colour, giving the room a more fresh appearance.
