"Harry!" I yell but my voice comes out a bit raspy. I sit up straight and take a look around the room. Draco was sitting on the right side of me on a chair, rolling his eyes. I look to my left and see Harry asleep in a chair, Hermione and Ron also sleeping in chairs next to him. The tables next to my bed are filled with candy and get well gifts. "I'm the one sitting by your bed everyday any chance I get and you call for him?" He scoffs. "Thought I told you not to get hurt." He says standing up hugging me. "Well it wasn't planned." I smile. My eyes widen. "Wait, the stone! What happened to it?" Draco looked at me confused. "Draco, where's Dumbledore?!"
"Professor Dumbledore, Miss Potter." I look over and see Dumbledore walking over to me, "Mr. Malfoy, would you leave us for a minute?" Dumbledore says turning to Draco. He nods and he smiles at me before he leaves. "Professor what happened to Qu-Voldemort?"
"That is a discussion we shall have once everyone has awoken. It was brave, what you did. To push Harry out of the way and sacrifice yourself for him, he's asked the same questions but I have decided to tell you two together." I nod, "Wake up!" The three of them all jumped. Harry's eyes widen. "Cel, youre awake! Thank merlin." He says sitting up hugging me."How long was I here?"
"About three months." Ron answers, my eyes widen, three months I've been here? He start to snicker while Hermione hits his arm. "Thats not fun Ron. You've been here three days Cel. I sigh of relief, turning to Dumbledore. "Professor, what happened to the stone? What happened to me?""The stone has been destroyed. My friend Nicholas and I had a little chat and agreed it was best." "But wont he die?" Harry asks. Dumbledore sits at the end of my bed. "He has enough Elixir to set his affairs in order. But yes, he will die."
"Does that mean, with the stone gone and all, that Voldemort can never come back?" I ask. "Ah, im afraid there are always ways in which he can return. Celeste, Harry, do you know why Professor Quirrell couldnt bear to have you touch him?" Harry and I shake our heads. "It was because of your mother. She sacrificed herself for you, and that kind of act leaves a mark." Harry goes to touch his scar. "No, no, this kind of mark cannot be seen. It lives in your skin. Love, Harry, love." He stands up patting our heads.
"Professor, Voldemort said that I...I had great power. That I was stronger than Harry. That I would...do great things with him? What does that mean? I dont want to be evil."
"Only time will tell. Everything is your decision, I cannot predict the future, I cannot tell you who you'll become. I bid you a farewell for now...and remember Celeste, everything is your decision." He says as he leaves the room. That didnt help at all. "Celeste! We were all so worried about you." Hermione says as she stands and hugs me."The whole schools been talking about it, but we havent said anything." Ron cries, hugging me. "Are you okay? What happened to you?"
"Oh dont worry about me. Im alright, it was you everyone was worried about."
"Malfoy's been here more than all of us, he would even bring dinner and his breakfast to be here." Harry says hugging me again.I got changed into mu dress robes and we all headed into the great hall. I took a in between Pansy and Theodore. "Celly ! Thank merlin you're okay!" She says hugging me. Across from us was Draco, Blaise, Crabbe, and Goyle. "Did you really miss me that much?" I smiled. "Of course I did, it wasnt easy putting up with all five boys." I turned to Theo, he hugged me, "It was horrible with out you." He whispered so the others wouldn't hear. "Well im here now." I said separating myself. "It's good to see you're okay Celly." Blaise said from across the table. "It feels good to be here." I smiled back at him.
Once we began to eat, Dumbledore stepped up. "Another year, gone. And now, as I understand it, the house cup needs awarding. And the [oints stand thus: Gryffindor in fourth place with 322 points. Third place, Hufflepuff, with 352 points. In second place, Ravenclaw with 426 points. And in first place, with 472 points, the Slytherin House."
Cheers erupted from the table. "Yes, yes, well done Slytherins, well done Slytherin. However, recent events must be taken into account. And I have a few last minute points to award. To Miss Hermione Granger, for the use of cool intellect when others are in great peril, 50 points. Second, to Mr. Ronald Weasley, for the best played chess that Hogwarts has seen these many years...50 points. And third - to Mr. Harry Potter..for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award the Gryffindor house sixty points." The Gryffindor house cheered, they were now tied with us. "There are all kinds of courage," Dumbledore continued. "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. Therefore I award ten points to Mr. Neville Longbottom."
The Gryffindor table cheered again, they had beaten us, I looked back down at my food as the flags changed to Gryffindor flags. Dumbledore raised his hand, quieting everyone down. "Lastly to Miss Celeste Potter," My eyes widen as I look back up at him. "For fighting along side her brother and sacrificing herself for him. Not knowing what would happen to her. I award 6o points." Huge rounds of applause rose among the crowd, the whole Slytherin table going crazy, patting me on the back and shaking my hand. "So if my calculations are correct, Slytherin wins the house cup!" The flags went back to Slytherin ones.

We were leaving Hogwarts, Harry and I walk over to Hagrid. "Thought you were leaving without saying good-bye, didja?" He smiles. He takes out 2 red albums out of his coat pocket and hands us each one. "This is for the both of yer, yer parents left 2 copies for each of you." He smiles. We open the album and see pictures, moving. When we were with our parents. Harry and I smile. "Thanks Hagrid." We say hugging him. "Oh. Go on...on with you." He says with tears in his eyes. Harry and I walk back into the train, "Celeste." I turn around and see Draco standing there, Harry glares at him. "Can I talk to you?" He says.
"Of course." He grabs my hand and pushes past Harry, leading me to a compartment. "Will you stay this summer?" He asks sitting down. "S-stay with you? You're serious?" I ask, he nods. "If you want, my parents are fine with it as well."
"Yes! I'd love to get out of my aunt and uncles!" I smile, but my smile falls as I think about Harry. "Whats wrong?" Draco asks looking worried. "Just..what about Harry?" He starts shaking his head like crazy. "No. No. Absolutely not.""No, I dont want him to stay with you or anything, its just I dont know if I can leave him for that long."
"Well..its whatever you'd like really."
"Let me talk to him first, then ill come back all right?" I say standing up, he nods, I walk out and find Harry with Hermione and Ron. "What did Malfoy want?" Harry asks. "Thats actually what I wanted to talk to you about," I say as I sit down next to Hermione, across from him and Ron. "He wants me to stay with him this summer.""Absolutely not!" Harry scoffs, "A whole summer without seeing you, just sounds horrible, please Cel dont go." I nod, "Alright, but I think im going to go sit with him and everyone else." I say. Harry nods and sighs in relief. "Bye, Mione. Have a good summer and promise to write." I smile and hug her. "You know I will Cel, have a good summer as well!" I let go of her and hug Ron. "Promise to write too, have a good summer Ron."
"I'll try my best, have a good summer, Cel." I separate from him and his face is bright pink, I chuckle and stand up. "Ill see you when we get off, Harry. Bye Ron, bye Mione!" I say as I head towards Dracos compartment. "Bye Cel!" I hear them call out."Sorry Draco, maybe next summer." I say as I sit down next to Pansy. He nods, "Next summer about what?" Theo asks. "He in-"
"Nothing!" Draco interrupts me. "Nothing at all." I looked at Pansy and she just shrugs. Blaise who was sitting next to her also shrugs.The five of us continued to talk on the train ride home, once we arrived to King's Cross Station I said goodbye to everyone and found Harry. "Ready to go back to them?" I ask linking arms as we walk toward the Dursleys, the Dursleys picked us up to make us seem like a 'normal, loving, family'. Knowing very well how they would treat us at home.
"Nope, are you?"
"You know I'm not."✧・゚: *✧・゚:*
