After exams were over this gave all of the students time to breath and relax the last few days left. All of that studying really did leave everyone tired. Especially Aria and the gang with Hermione's study sessions. Thank goodness they wont have to deal with that again till next term last couple of days seemed to have flown by right before everyone's eyes. The common room was busier than usual students playing a variety of games such as wizards chess or exploding snap. Students were even exchanging information with each other so they can write over the summer. It was a bitter sweet moon in the common room today. Aria was sitting around the common room with everyone. It was only 11 am so they had plenty of time to kill before the dinner they were trying to figure out what to do with their time.
"I believe we should spend the time in the Library get ahead for the next term" Hermione proposed.
Aria looked at her disgusted. "No. We spent enough time in the library!" Aria protested.
"I think we should just rest here" Ron suggested still not fully awake. Ron was too used to sleeping in these days.
Harry spoke up "I say walking around the grounds"
Aria raised her hand " I second Harry's suggestion"
Ron yawned as nodded. "I. ah do too"
Hermione huffed slightly but quickly got over it nodding as she smiled a bit. "Alright Alright. Let's go then"
Aria looked up the staircase towards the girls bedrooms. "Celeste" Aria called. A couple seconds later her little tabby kitten came running down the stairs. Celeste meowed as she walked up to Aria rubbing against her purring. "Lets go for a walk with everyone" Aria smiled.
Everyone got up and left the Gryffindor common room. Everyone just walked around the grounds of the school. Well everywhere that they knew, not wanting to take a chance and get lost. Wouldn't that be embarrassing? Celeste seemed to want to wonder off on her own but decided against it and stayed by Aria's side. Aria couldnt help but wonder what kind of adventures her little kitten went on this year. Maybe she would find out someday.
They walked through the corridors, in the Library, even gave Hagrid a quick visit. Last stop was the field. It had a perfect view of the castle.
Everyone was sitting on the grass looking towards Hogwarts. What a sight it was. Looking at the castle gave it a magical feeling funny enough. Hogwarts held memories for everyone irreplaceable memories. Everyone was silent just enjoying the view enjoying everyone's company for the last time for a few months. Celeste on Aria's lap. Aria grabbed her bag looking through it grabbing two picture frames. Handing it to both Ron and Hermione.
"Here you guys go. Harry I already gave you one of these" Aria added so Harry didn't feel left out.
"They are like Harry's I already have a picture in there haha i'm sure you guys can see that." Aria smiled she gave them an enchanted picture frame. Just like her own and Harry's there was a picture of the four of them. Smiling and laughing about something, there was text at the bottom that read 'first year memories'
"Amazing. Thank you very much" Hermione spoke giving Aria a quick hug. Followed by Ron giving her a hug to say thank you.
"This is a thank you. For always being my friends after everything I went though this year i'm so happy to have friends like you three" Aria smiled
Ron chuckled slightly "No need to be so formal Aria haha"
Harry smiled speaking up. "We'll always be friends."
"The best" Hermione added quickly smiling.
The sky was changing colors it looked like a rainbow. Seemed like the sun wanted to go down that was their cue to go to dinner. Without having to say a word everyone got up walking back towards Hogwarts into the Great Hall for one last time. Well just for this term at least next term is one to look forward to.
Everyone at dinner had their black pointed hat on even Celeste Aria asked a teacher to shrink a had for her to wear. Celeste was a Gryffindor and even a student in Aria's eyes so she was part of the celebration. Everyone was louder than usual because this was the last dinner together. There was a big feast with a wide variety of foods and desserts. From potatoes to roasted boar. All of the teachers were present eating up front. Dumbledore hit his glass lightly with his fork to get everyone's attention. All of the students looked at him becoming silent. Dumbledore started to announce the House points and was even awarding points. From the looks of it Slytherin would win this year. Except... they didnt! It was a tie between Gryffindor and Slytherin and the deciding factor between the two would be one point. Neville Longbottom was the deciding factor for Gryffindor!
"Gryffindor wins the house cup" Dumbledore announced happily. Clapping his hand everyone started to applaud and cheer.
All of the Gryffindors cheered loudly tossing their hats up in the air. The Slytherin banners changed into Gryffindor. Everyone was celebrating except the Slytherin table since the win was snatched right from under them. All of them were silent not joining in the celebrations. Celeste was jumping around meowing happily as everyone was congratulating Neville. Least to say everyone in the Gryffindor house stayed up late that night having their own after party.
Time had past by so fast it seems like they just got there They were already boarding the train to go back home. This year was so eventful. Making friends, Losing friends, Overwhelming homework, and surviving a harpy attack. Aria was in a compartment with the group. They just talked about all of the events that happened this year. Laughing at certain events. The feeling was bittersweet. Aria looked at everyone she was happy and sad. Celeste was sleeping on Aria's lap.
"All of you will write?" Aria asked
"Of course! how can we get through the summer?" Ron spoke.
"Good! I hope summer goes by quickly" Aria said.
"It's going to be soo boring being with my muggle relatives" Harry spoke
"It's alright Harry. Summer will just fly by and we'll be getting back on the train to Hogwarts before you know it" Hermione said smiling.
"I hope so" Harry sighed imagining life with the Dursleys again.
Soon the train started to make its way into the train station. Everyone sighed knowing they had to say their goodbyes. Aria could already see her parents as she set Celeste carefully in her bag. Once the train came to a complete stop everyone got out slowly leaving. Once the group got off the train everyone gave hugs goodbye.
"I'll see you guys soon" Aria said before she left to go join her parents. Giving them both a hug.
Aria survived her first year at Hogwarts. It was eventful to say the least. What adventures will happen next year? Aria had plans this summer, practice for her quidditch tryouts next year. This summer would be fun.
