Alicia Snape (Book 8)

Chapter 15

~Alicia's POV~
~4 years later~

Lillith walked up to the podium in her graduation uniform and began her speech.

"Hello my fellow students. Today we go on in life. Today is the day we graduate. Many of you are sad and that's okay. But look at it as a new chapter in life. Where you will go on, and make memories with someone you love. Your friends. Maybe even just your family. Or maybe even on your own. Whatever the case may be, you are now in complete control of your life. Now. Put your hands together for the class of 2025!"

We all clapped and she took her seat.

McGonagall came up and said "When I call your names, please come up and get your diploma."

As she began to call names I looked to the sky and said "Maria if only you were here. You would be so proud."

"Lillith Malfoy." I got up and cheered for my daughter. She received her diploma and Draco took her picture.

She ran to me and I hugged her tightly.

"I am so proud of you."

She laughed and said "careful mom. Your squishing the baby."

"Oh I'm sorry."

"It's ok." She said laughing.

"And finally Eric Zabini."

Lillith cheered and Eric came over and hugged her gently while kissing her forehead.

"Finally we are free."

I glared at him and he noticed and quickly said "of course we will still come and see you Mrs. Malfoy."

"You better."

Everyone cheered and they threw their hats in the air and caught them.

They kissed one more time and Draco came around me and handed me a little box to give to Lillith and Eric.

"Open it its for the both of you."

I smiled knowing what it was.

She quickly opened it and looked at the key confused.

"We bought you guys a house. I hope you don't mind. I remember you twice saying-"

"Mom. Mom. It's okay. It's perfect. Thank you so much."

She said jumping in my arms.

"And it's right next to your brother's"

"Oh great. Now I'll really be annoyed."

"What was that?" Scorpious said poking his head out with his own present.

"I said that's lovely. Scorp. What are you doing her I thought you said you had to work."

"I did. I finally convinced my boss to give me the day off. I reminded about those years ago how I saved his mother."

"George will be just fine. I'm so glad you came." She said hugging him taking her present.

She opened it to see a beautiful Slytherin necklace.

"It's gorgeous thank you Scorp."

"Now you can wear it on our wedding day." Eric said happily.

I grinned excitedly knowing this was coming.

"Our what?" Lillith said confused.

He got down on one knee and opened the ring Rose gave him to propose.

"Lillith Rose Malfoy. Will you marry me?"

"Of course Eric!" She said hugging him tightly and kissing him.

I smiled at how grown she has become.

I hugged Scorpious and said "I'm proud of you too. Don't forget. Where is-"

"Rose. She's out talking to her uncle George again."

"Well I must see my daughter in law when she's done."

"You will I promise."

I smiled and stared at my daughter as she admired her new ring.

Rose came from behind and hugged me and said "glad she loves the ring."

I laughed and hugged her back and said "I do too."
