Tonks has arrived at Hogsmeade with her two closest friends, Daisy and Brendon. It was their last year at school and she wanted to enjoy every second of it. It broke her heart each time she remembered that there won’t be any incredible experiences waiting for her in this marvelous building and her beloved Hufflepuff building. 

She met with Daisy in the Hogwarts Express, in their first year. They were both little eleven years old girls then. By the time, they become best friends and family, not surprisingly. And they met Brendon in a lesson, she couldn’t even remember which one, but he was an incredible friend with lots of gossips from Gryfindor. They were not really like a family, but they preferred to go to Hogsmeade together.

The trio was walking and laughing while looking at the buildings and people around them. It was a nice sunny day in spring. 

“I don’t want to go back to Hogwarts to study for all those exams.” said Brendon. The girls agreed with him. “I hate studying too, but we should get good scores in our N.E.W.T.s” said. Tonks, who wanted to be an Auror when she graduates.

Daisy stopped her friends in the middle of the road. “This talk about our exams gets on my nerves, girls. Let’s talk about something else.” Girls looked at Brendon with big smiles, they knew he had some juicy gossips because he somehow manages to be everyone's secret keeper. Tonks wondered if all these people knew he told them these secrets, what would they do.

“Okay, I heard this from Julie, so this must be true.” He paused a second, just to get girls excited. “A new bartender has started to work in The Three Broomsticks. Gryffindor girls were constantly talking about how handsome he was.” Daisy looked like she couldn’t care less. “Sorry dude, but your girls have the worst taste in men. I bet they like Snape too.”

Tonks changed her appearance as him for a second. “You are destined to be something, Tonks. A failure.” He said that in their third year when she messed with him and lost hundreds of house points from Hufflepuff.

Brendon rolled his eyes. “Girls, girls, girls. I don’t know about you, but I am curious to see this man and I am going to The Three Broomsticks, with or without you.”

Tonks looked at Daisy, their Head Girl and smiled. “Well… We shouldn’t let our best friend go to a place like that, alone.” Daisy took a deep breath. “Why did I even became friends with you in the first place.” 

They have been friends for six and a half years and they got used to each other while being completely different from each other. Daisy was coming from a muggle family, there was not even a single trace of magic in her family's blood but she somehow managed to be a prefect and a head girl. Brendon was a different story, he was a Quidditch player, and that was the only thing for him that mattered. He didn’t care about lessons or exams however he was surrendered by magic while he was growing up, so he always past his lessons without really working hard on topics. And lastly Tonks… Well, she was Tonks. 

When they entered the place, they couldn't see anybody new. However, they didn't lose their hope either. "He must be somewhere..." said Brendon, hoping that Gryffindor girls didn't lie to him earlier.

They sat at a table and waited for someone rather than Madam Rosmerta to show up. 

"So, there won’t be any more Hogwarts years." said Daisy, with a sad voice. She was looking at her butterbeer. Being a witch coming from a muggle family, she didn't like to go to her home in summers and the idea of returning to there once and for all was really scary.

Brendon smirked. “Well, you are only sorry because there aren’t any more titles for you to earn.” Daisy turned to him. “That’s not true! I just don’t want to go back to a muggle life.”
