Hermione smiled as she saw the rest of the Slytherin prefects there, waiting for Serenity. With that, they all go back to their common room. Once inside the common, Serenity is taken aback to see all Slytherin are there. At the centre is Millicent.

"Congratulations on becoming Head Girl," say Millicent and clapping her hand.

All Slytherin follows, cheer and clap their hand. Serenity smiled, walk down and hug Millicent. Then, one by one Slytherin come and congratulate Serenity. Later, inside the dormitory, there are two sixth-year girls joining in Serenity and Millicent but both girls don't mind their senior who seems to want to talk in private. After changing into a nightgown, Millicent sits on Serenity's bed.

"So, you have not had any contact with Draco and Astoria after the war?" asked Millicent.

Serenity sign and shake her head.

"Why?" asked Millicent.

"I don't know. We just don't contact each other. Well, I should at least write to Astoria but I don't know why I didn't. I just don't" answer Serenity slowly.

Millicent frowns. Clearly, Serenity is still in pain after what happened. Still mourning her father's passing. Serenity has to take a great risk to continue what her father and godfather did after their death.

"It is understandable why you did what you did, but I just don't understand why neither Draco nor Astoria contact you. Check on you. Ask you how are you" says Millicent, angry a bit.

"We all have some issues to handle. I just .... What I am saying is that I just hope both of them are alright. Did you get to see them?" asked Serenity.

"Better, I did not get to see them but I know where they are currently," says Millicent.

"Oh?"

"Astoria, Daphne and Pansy are now continuing their study at Beaubatox Academy," said Millicent.

"Why am I not surprised?" smirked Serenity.

Millicent laugh.

"But I do surprise that you are here Millicent. I thought you would go with them" ask Serenity.

"My parents come up with that suggestion as well. That is how I know they are going there. But I decline since I felt that it is some cowardice" answered Millicent.

Serenity smiled and node her head.

"And Draco, he has gone to Drumstrang. Imagine a blondie among the brunette boys over there" giggles Millicent.

Serenity smirked as she remember what Dobby have told her once, about Lucius wanting to send Draco to Drumstrang.

"Look like Mr Malfoy got what he wish for," says Serenity.

"Oh? So you know. Did Draco tell you?" asked Millicent.

"Dobby, his previous house elf told me. I remember during the World Quidditch Cup. He talks to Victor Krum about wanting to go to Drumstrang but due to his mother's wishes, he attended Hogwarts instead" explains Serenity.

"True. Looks like he is in a good place" sign Millicent. Serenity node her head. "How are you really, Serenity ?" ask Millicent seriously.

"The truth?" asked Serenity as she is about to cry. "I am scared".

"Don't be. No one is a match for you. You are one of the most powerful witches" say Millicent confidently.

Serenity forced a smile.

Serenity looked at her schedule and the time tuner in her hand.

"I am available at any time if you ever need me Serenity," said Slughorn kindly.
