3 A.M. (Oliver Wood) *ON HOLD*

Chapter Fifteen: Seventh Year

There was less than two weeks left of school, but things weren't looking up. Celeste and Oliver were doing fine, but things in school were the issue. Draco had been hurt by Buckbeak, which was a pet of Hagrid's. Celeste didn't necessarily blame the animal or Hagrid, but if someone wanted to be a teacher, they should practice for all situations so they can prevent them from happening.

Since Celeste was considered a blood traitor, she wasn't allowed to visit Draco in the hospital wing-not during the day. At night, Celeste would sneak out to visit him. He cherished the little moments he had with her, even if that meant he had to fake that his arm was hurt worse than it was so she would baby him just a bit. Honestly, Draco missed Celeste a lot, and nobody could replace her in his life.

On June ninth, Buckbeak was sentenced to death because of what happened to Draco. Celeste didn't believe the hippogriff deserved such harsh treatment, but it was a wild animal and it did hurt Draco. Most people put down animals that hurt people, especially if they draw blood, so what was the difference?

Anyhow, later that same day, when Celeste heard that Hermione Granger had punched Draco in the face, she was close to finding the girl and showing her just how well she could fight like a muggle. Celeste wasn't one to fight muggle style, but if she needed to, she definitely would. Celeste could be a scary girl everyday, but she was beyond frightening when she wanted to be.

When she didn't find Hermione after a couple of hours, she gave up her search and decided to hang out with Oliver some more. Draco liked the new Celeste that was more carefree and funny, which he believed Oliver was the reason for. To be honest, the two boys had sent letters to each other about Celeste. They weren't really friends, but they had both agreed that they cared deeply for the girl, and that they would protect her with their lives. Honestly, it was one of the few things the two agreed on.

"Do you want to sleep in the ROR with me?" Oliver asked, as he walked with Celeste to dinner that night.

"Sure, we just have to make sure no one follows us," Celeste answered, and Oliver nodded with a smile.

Celeste, again, sat by herself and ate. She doubted she'd have any friends in Slytherin once the school year ended, but they really only had like a week left, so it didn't matter to her if she had friends in her house or not. Once she was done eating, the girl headed straight for the Room of Requirement. She changed into a pair of fitted fabric shorts, that were blue with pink watermelon slices on them, and a white shirt. By the time she was dressed, Oliver had finally arrived. He quickly went and changed into his pajamas, which was a pair of flannel pants and a white shirt.

"I'm so glad you found this room. We get to be together, and alone, without anyone finding us and bothering us," Oliver commented, and Celeste nodded.

"Y'know, I've been thinking, you and I stayed together during the Easter holiday, and we've been sneaking off together for a while. I know it might seem early, and really sudden, but how do you feel about moving into the manor with me?" Celeste asked, causing Oliver to bite his lip.

"What would Lupin say?" Oliver asked, making the girl shrug.

"I don't think he'd care. Besides, he's been wanting me happy for a while, he'll probably look past the fact that you moved in so early in our relationship," Celeste replied, and Oliver smiled.

"Well," Oliver began, pecking Celeste's lips,"I would be honored to live in your manor with you and Lupin," Oliver said, causing the girl to grin.

The couple had decided to go to sleep almost as soon as the conversation was over, since the tests throughout the week had worn them out. Being together made it a little better, but they were still exhausted from school. Knowing it was the end of school for them though really made them happy, considering Celeste never really believed she'd make it to the end of her Hogwarts schooling.

The next morning, the couple shared a few kisses, before getting dressed and going to the Great Hall for breakfast. While Celeste sat and ate her breakfast in silence, she was approached by Harry Potter, which caused the girl to frown.

"What do you want, Potter?" Celeste asked, causing the boy to sigh.

"I'm sorry about all the stuff with your father. I didn't know Sirius was a good guy. I didn't know Peter Pettigrew was Ron's rat and he was the one that sold my parents out to You-Know-Who. I didn't know that Sirius had spent all his time in Azkaban trying to find Peter. If I had known, I would never have approached you like that," Harry rambled, as Celeste grew angry with the way he spoke so highly of her father.

"Thanks for the apology," She mumbled, and he nodded.

"Oh, you might want to check on Professor Lupin. Last night was a full moon, and he didn't take his potion," Harry commented, causing her to quickly nod.

Lupin was supposed to take wolfsbane potions to help with the full moon, but if he didn't, it would make the full moon hard on him again. Celeste ran down to his office, to find him finishing with packing his things up in his classroom.

"Oh no, did Dumbledore fire you?" She asked, her voice full of concern.

"No, but someone let slip about my condition. Soon angry letters will come in from parents that would rather have someone else teaching their children," Lupin replied, causing Celeste to sigh.

"That sucks," She murmured, and Lupin nodded,"So, what are you going to do now?"

"Go back to my cottage, and--" Lupin began, before Celeste cut him off.

"You're still staying at the manor, rather you like it or not," Celeste said, making him chuckle.

"So, I'll go to the manor and look through job listings," He replied, and she nodded.

She was glad he didn't let this bump slow him down, even if it did wound him a bit. She did plan to give the snitch a good beating though for ratting him out...
