Back at Hogwarts for their final year, but they are surprised to find more has changed than the new walls. New laws are being put into place, and the consequences are severe.
Who will overcome the challenges in the final year at Hogwarts and who w...
"Are you sure it is alright?" James was sitting next to Ara's bed, holding a bucket. She had been sick for a few days and was slightly disappointed that she couldn't go to Hogsmeade with everyone, but she insisted that James still go.
"Yes, James. It is alright. Margret and Milly are going to come to hang out with me since they are not feeling that great either."
"Okay, I'll come to see you when I get back, alright?"
"James, go have fun okay," Ara smiled at her boyfriend, and he kissed her head gently. He was happy he didn't have to lie to her about going to Hogsmeade without her, but he didn't want her to be sick either.
James would buy her an engagement ring today, and Mary and his sister were coming along to help him pick something out.
"So," Hyperion and Scorpius were standing by Lily and Mary, who had frowns on their faces.
"Were you going to tell us about this?" Scorpius finished his brother's question.
"No, since last time I told you I was punched in the face."
Scorpius and Hyperion sighed. "Mate, come on. Please let us come with you," Hyperion was smiling now. He didn't want to fight with James. Plus, if he was buying his sister an engagement ring, he and Scorp could really help out.
"Fine, but you cannot tell anyone. No one knows except the four of you now."
"Promise. We won't tell a soul."
"How are you two going to help anyway?"
"Our grandmother showed us how to look for the best cut of diamonds when we were younger. She only liked the best jewelry." Hyperion said with a small smile. He still missed his grandmother every day. Mary squeezed his hand, and he thanked her with his eyes.
"Hey, Scorp?" Lily caught him by surprise. "What happened with you and Lila? I saw her snogging some other guy a couple of days ago."
"No idea. The day after the Halloween party, she screamed at me in the common room and said that I said something she really didn't like while we were there. I have no idea what I said, though, and I feel really guilty about it. She wouldn't even tell me what I said."
"It doesn't matter, mate," James slapped Scoprius's shoulder, and they kept walking.
"I agree if she's snogging someone already then, she isn't worth it," Mary said after a while. Scorpius nodded in agreement, but he missed Lila's company. She was smart and funny, and they got along really well. He just hoped that he hadn't really hurt her. He had been really drunk and barely remembered any of the night.
"Here we are," James said after awhile. The five of them went into the store and started looking around. James really didn't know what he wanted to get but figured he would know it when he saw it.
"Hello, may I help you?" An older man came out from the back of the store and looked at the young group with curious eyes.
"I am looking for an engagement ring for my girlfriend, sir," James said, stepping forward. The man nodded and explained different things to James for a while before going back to the back of the store.
"What about this, James?" Lily was pointing at an oval-shaped diamond that had two smaller round diamonds next to it. James liked it but wasn't sure.
