Pov (Hermione)

It was 7:00 am in the morning, I was walking in the corridor towards my office. I saw that the door was open, it must be my beloved husband!

"Hi Honey" I said as I walked through the door.

Instead I found the one and only DRACO MALFOY!!!

"Oh, hi love, I'm not a widow yet, you know..." He said smirking showing me his wedding ring.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh, it's you, I thought it was Ron". I said groaning. "Why are you here? Do you need something?" I said with all the patience that was left in my soul.

"Oh, right, Harry kicked me out of the office because I'm too depressed to work"

"By the way, how's Astoria?" I asked.

"She's not getting any better, doctor says that she doesn't have much time left. I'm worried about Scorpius, last week I sent him a letter telling the shocking news, and Astoria sent him her favourite book too" he answered a little bit too casually "but forget it, I came to give you this..."

"Thank you" I said grabbing the file in his hands "And remember, we are all with you, and if I can do anything for you, just tell me."

"I don't think you can do anything for Astoria, she's going to die sooner or later, but for meee...—"

"Goodbye Draco" I interrupted

He left smirking, leaving me to study the file.

POV Rose

It was a hot morning of June; the day was going fast.

The morning started with Herbology class, we haven't done any kind of practice since October, when Professor Longbottom left to "his secret mission". So, the class was kind of "Free" I spent all the class talking to Alice and Erin. Apparently Cariba didn't want to be part of our gossip time because she was trying to wake up our lazy and stupid substitute teacher, she was desperate to find something to do. We (Gryffindors) share Herbology and Potion class with the Slytherins so there was Albus and of course Scorpius. He glanced at me a few times trying to catch my eye (he thought I didn't see him, but I did) he's cute though.

The classes continued. After two periods of History of magic, finally it was potions time with Professor Wheelbarrow, the funniest professor ever.

When I arrived the dungeons, Erin and Cariba were already there. Cariba was having a tough day, after her failed attempt to convince the Herbology teacher to make something, Professor Binns decided that it was a clever idea to study for the fifth time the troll wars. (Cariba hates the troll wars)! That's why it didn't surprised me to see her chewing her nails in the classroom. The class started five minutes later, when professor Wheelbarrow arrived, he looked tired and for the first time in two years he wasn't disguise as anyone.

"Good morning class, today you are going to work on your final project, you have to write a 50-page long essay explaining what you learned" After wheelbarrow said that, everybody started complaining, (except for Cariba, she looked thrilled). "Also" He continued "you must list all the potions we've learned this year, and include their ingredients and preparation". Professor Wheelbarrow giving us a long and boring project. UNBELIEVABLE!

"But don't worry, my dear students, you will do this project in pairs and you can choose your partner".

Finally, Music to my ears. "Except you two" Wheelbarrow said pointing at Scorpius and ME. Holy crap! "Scorpius Weasley and Rose Malfoy, I mean Rose Scorpius and Malfoy Weasley. I mean SCOROSE, I mean... well you know who I'm talking about. God, I need a glass of fire whiskey"
