The Great Hall was teeming with students as it always is for the Final Banquet, Feast, thing. I was sitting between Luna and Cho because I had to sit at the Ravenclaw table.
Cho had turned to talk to Marietta Edgecombe so I was left to speak with Luna.
"Here's the latest edition of the Quibbler," she whispered, whilst handing it to me under the table.
"Thanks Luna," I said. "You're the best." She smiled at my comment.
"-and taking current events into account," announced Dumbledore, "all exams have been cancelled."
"Honestly," I said to Luna, "when are they ever going to have exams?"
"When Harry Potter graduates," she answered.
"No truer words have ever been spoken."

I sat with Draco on the train as per usual. The train ride was ordinary.
When we got to the station, I acknowledged Narcissa and Lucius and then went through the brick wall with my trunk and owl.
I spotted my father and Logan who, again, was attempting to get girls. I sniggered at the thought and imagined him tripping and falling on his way over to me.
Per my wish, it happened.
"Honestly Logan," I whispered in his ear, "you're never gonna get girls that way." He turned and stuck his tongue out at me.
"Shut up," he muttered.
The Malfoy's exited through the brick wall not moments later and Logan just had to call them out.
"Yo!" he yelled. "Kid with the cool name. Have a good summer!" Draco waved back at Logan and then rolled his eyes at me.
His parents made their way over to my family.
"Hmm," said Lucius. "You look familiar."
"My wife was Sicily Matthews," my father answered.
"Sicily?" said Lucius. He then turned to me. "Not a mudblood after all then are you?"
"Nice to meet you again Lucy. I'm Laila Matthews, half blood."
