Your Spell On Me (Book 4) GxG

Goodbye

Harry is reluctant to leave Cedric's body, mad eye pulls him off away from the area and then later Dumbledor follows the next day we are all in the assembly hall as Dumbledore informs us of Cedric's death. Nobody really wants to hear this but it's not like we can just ignore it Cedric was murdered and if that wasn't bad enough, he was killed by Voldemort of all people.

"Today we acknowledge a really terrible loss. Cedric Diggory was as you all know, exceptionally hard-working, and intricately fair-minded. And most importantly a fierce fierce friend. I think therefore you have the right to know exactly how he died. You see, Cedric Diggory was murdered by Lord Voldemort. 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 beat as one. In 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 vain, you remember that. And we'll celebrate a boy who was kind and honest and brave and true right to the very end," Dumbledor said as we all look on still sad at this loss.

I catch up with Hermione in our room as we are packing our things and she looks at me I am still sad about Cedric's death and she notices she pulls me into a hug and I hug her back as I start to cry. The other girls in our room see this and then join us all in a big group hug I guess we all needed the feeling of comforting and loving arms around us at this point. A few days later there's a large crowd gathered, the pupils are going home as are the students from Beauxbatons Academy and Durmstrang Victor come up to me and Hermione gives her a piece of paper.

"Write to me. Promise," Victor said.

"Bye," Hermione said and he walked off.

"He's keen," I said.

"Well he does seem to like me," Hermione said.

"Just make sure that your first letter if you send one at all is about how good things are going with us so he knows that he can't have you, ever," I said before I kiss her on the cheek.

"Good because I wouldn't give myself to anyone else," Hermione said as I rest my head on her shoulder

"By the way, I got you this," I said as I gave her a small box.

"What is it," Hermione asked.

"Open it," I said.

Inside was a small silver locket neckless and a wolf was carved in the outside on the inside was a picker of us when we had our first kiss and Hermione looks up at me with tears of joy as she hugged me. I see off the right Ron is sitting alone. The Delacour sisters approach him, they both, in turn, give him a kiss on the head then they bid him farewell and he is looking hot and bothered. The Beauxbatons girls leave in uniform, the crowd applauds as the Durmstrang boys leave too, shaking hands as they go and we all bid them farewell.

"Do you think we'll ever just have a quiet year at Hogwarts?" Ron said as we meet up with Harry.

"No," Hermione said with a chuckle.

"No, I don't think so," Harry said agreeing with her

"Everything's going to change now, isn't it?" Hermione said.

"Oh things are definitely going to change," I said giving her a smile.

"Yes, yes they are," Harry said.

"Promise you'll write this summer. All of you," Hermione said.

"Well, I won't. You know I won't!" Ron said.

"Yeah I will mostly just come and visit you like last summer," I said.

"Harry will won't you?" Hermione said.

"Yeah. Every week," Harry said and I laugh knowing it was a lie.

We all look over the balcony, as the flying horses pulling the Beauxbatons carriage head off into the distance and down the river the Bulgarians' ship goes underwater. I am hugging Hermione and she has her arm over my shoulder I rest my head on her shoulder and she kissed the top of my head and a smile as I see my life for better or worse is going to be with her no matter what.

End of Fourth Year.
