It's now June, we leave for the summer holidays next month. My crush for Oliver hasn't stopped, but he just broke up with Clara last month. Yes, they got back together. We are all sat in the Gryffindor common room talking about how our exams went. For me, it was easy. I revised so much that at one point I thought I was gonna turn into a walking talking book.

"Garden, can I talk to you at the Quidditch Pitch, please?" Oliver says quietly, ignoring Fred and George's whistles.

I nod my head and we both start walking to the Quidditch pitch in silence. Once we get there, he stops and looks down at me.

"Are you going to stay at Hogwarts or go back to Beaubatons?" He says in his Scottish accent that gave me butterflies.

"I'm not sure, after finding out about Olive killing herself, I just want to go back in her honour. But I also have grown to love Hepgwarts, I love the grounds, lessons, friends and you." NO. I didn't mean to say that. Nonononono. What the shitting hell are you playing at, Eden!?!

"Me? Well, I guess I could say the same about you. I love you Eden, I repeat, I love you Eden." He says smiling at then softly kisses me. Butterflies swarm around my stomach, not literally.

It's now July, and Oliver and I are together. All our friends somehow knew it was coming. Weirdos.

"Miss Sloan, my office please" Dumbledore says interrupting my conversation with Anna and Izzy.

We sit down at his desk and he fills out a sheet of paper, leaving one space open.

"Now, we have a very important topic to discuss. Would you like to stay at Hogwarts, or leave to go back to Beauxbatons. We will have to send you to France now, if you decide upon Beauxbatons.

I look down at the silver ring on my hand, Olive's ring. I could either go back to my home, or stay at Hogwarts with my new family.

"I'll go back." I say with a tear rolling down my face.

All of a sudden, I'm at Beauxbatons. Near the tree where my friends and I used to go. I didn't get to say goodbye. I have to say goodbye.

I walk into the castle and memories come flooding back. Bellefuille Dorm Room's, where were they?

Eventually, I find my way to my old room and walk in. Amy, Kathryn and Ellie are sat on their beds. There is two empty bed's, mine and Olive's. Olive's old bed has blue flowers covering it along with cards.

"Eden! You're back!" Ellie shouts and jumps on me. We all unpack my things and re-visit old memories, we laugh until our stomachs hurt.

Oliver's POV:

Eden's gone. She chose France. I can't be angry at her, but I'm sad that I can't see her anymore. I liked her since we met on the train. When I first saw her my eyes widened at her beauty. How could I forget something like that? Exactly, I can't. She will always have something from me though. If you look closely on Dorothy's collar, it's says 'love you infinity, Oliver x' in small writing.

Anna and Izzy are torn into pieces, they spent every second of everyday with her.
Fred and George haven't played any pranks or jokes for a week.
Chad isn't as cocky anymore.
Alexander failed his potions test and got his first detention.
Lydia has stopped being her badass self. My god, you'd think she would have died.

People say goodbye so much, but you never know when you'll say it the last time.

But hey, everything happens for a reason, and if Eden and I were supposed to be together, we'll find eachother one day.
