kate couldn't quite believe it. after seven years at hogwarts, she was going to leave the school and join the world as a full fledged witch. she was graduating and another chapter in her life was being opened.

she couldn't wait.

her father had already found her a job, she would work with newt scamander. she did have a love for animals and plants, and this would ensure she would be on the road to becoming either a mazoologist or a herbologist, perhaps a fusion of both, she thought to herself excitedly.

she settled into the boat, percy following suit, sitting beside her. "i'm going to miss hogwarts." she confessed, staring at the castle. "i will too, where will you be going after this?" he asked.

"well my father has helped me score a apprenticeship with newt scamamder. i love his work and i was really surprised he accepted me as his apprentice. i screamed when i received the letter." percy laughed at her blushing face. suddenly the boat rocked as someone jumped into it.

percy let out a yelp, grabbing on to kate's arm for balance. kate giggled softly, utterly unfazed.

"hey kate." the person who had hopped into the boat said. the two friends turned, only to see oliver. "is it alright if i join you?" he asked tentatively.

"why would i even care?" kate asked, a hint of malice in her voice. the boats began to move out.

she turned her back to oliver, facing the rippling water. "it's a full moon." she noted. "when i was fourteen, i wanted to have a kiss on the boat ride away from hogwarts." percy confessed with a awkward laugh.

"that's so adorable." kate smiled softly, "do you still want that kiss?" percy looked down at the blond girl, "quite frankly yes but-" kate leaned in, cutting him off,,but percy placed a hand on her lips, stopping her, "promise me you're not kissing me to make him jealous." he said, searching her eyes for her intentions. "why would i care about him?" she asked.

he dipped his head towards her and she moved forward, lips meeting.

and it was magical.
