I sat in the stands with Hermione and Laura, we were all hung over, Hermione and I more than Laura. Slytherin was winning by forty points, Draco wasn't playing, Harper was in his place as Slytherin seeker. The pills Draco had given me were wearing off and I felt incredibly sick.

"How much longer can this go for?" I questioned as my stomach was doing flips. "What? Last night too much for you?" Laura joked and I sent her a glare.

"I hope Harry catches the snitch soon, I want nothing more than for this game to be over" Hermione said looking a little green.

"Weak" Laura muttered to herself but I heard it. "Everybody back home is going to be happy to hear your doing okay" Laura said absently and I spun my head in her direction. "What?" I questioned in shock, just how exactly was I doing okay?

"You may not think it, but you really are doing good, and that's a good thing" Laura said to me removing her eyes from the game and looking back at me. I turned my attention back to the game and tried to hide my tears.

"Hey" Laura said as she bumped my shoulder with her own "Stop whatever your feeling, it's time to stop feeling sad" Laura said and I turned to look back at her "You don't know what I'm feeling" I said bitterly and she laughed.

"I've been your best friend for years I know exactly what's going through your head" she said and handed me a tissue. "Pull yourself together man" she joked and I couldn't help but smile and laugh, she knew exactly how to handle me.

Most people would be sympathetic and tell you it was okay to be sad, but not Laura she knew exactly when to give me some tough love. I don't know what I will do when she leaves in a few short hours.

The game carried out and we returned our attention to cheering on Harry and the rest of the Gryffindor team. Gryffindor won and we returned to the common room to celebrate.

Laura was leaving at four pm and it was already three thirty. Laura said her good byes to the other Gryffindor's as well as Luna who was celebrating with us and made me take her down to the Slytherin's to see Blasie, Draco and the twins.

We didn't even make it to the ground floor when Blaise, Theodore and Draco came into our view. "Leaving without saying goodbye" Blaise joked as we stopped in the stairwell.

"We were just looking for your guys" Laura said happily. "I have to be at Dumbledore's office by four so quick good byes" She said and I smiled.

"Nice meeting you" Theodore said and Laura grinned before pulling him into a hug. "Nice meeting you too Theo" Laura said and Theodore stood back.

"Bye Draco, shame I couldn't see you play Quidditch today" Laura said giving the blonde boy a hug goodbye he whispered something to her but I couldn't hear what and then he said goodbye too.

She hugged Blaise the longest and I took the time it took for her to say goodbye to quiz Draco. "So how come you didn't play today?" I asked catching him a little off guard. "I was busy" was his only reply and I rolled my eyes and leant against the wall.

Theodore and Draco were talking amongst themselves so I stared at the wall moving out of the way of some first year students making their way to the common room.

I looked at Laura and Blaise after a little while wondering what the hell they could possibly be talking about, how long does goodbye take when you hardly know somebody.

Laura eventually hugged Blaise again in goodbye and told me to lead the way. we made it to the Gargoyle guarding the entrance and I gave the password to enter. Dumbledore was sitting in this chair waiting for us.
