"My I have your attention please!" My head turns at the sound of McGonagall's voice, as do many others and the Great Hall hushes to a silence.
"Before we begin the feast let us have a round of applause for Professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey, who's mandrake juice has been so successfully administered to all who had been petrified." Dumbledore pauses and allows the students to clap for a few seconds before continuing. Also, in light of recent events, as a school treat, all exams have been cancelled. Everyone claps again and many even verbally cheer for some time.
Walking in suddenly, Hagrid shuffles along and looks around.
"Sorry, I'm late. The owl that delivered my release papers got all lost and confused. Some ruddy bird named Eroll." I glance over at Ron and he hides his face bashfully. Hagrid goes over to the Golden Trio and Dumbledore leads another round of clapping for the half-breed. Everyone gets up and cheers, many even approaching Hagrid.
I stayed seated and looked to the front of the room. I saw Severus clapping, to my surprise. He soon stopped and his eyes landed on me. I smiled at him, much like I did last year, and for a small moment he smiled back.

I stopped by the potions class one last time before I left the castle. I walked into the room in normal clothing, which felt odd but I didn't mind.
Severus and I met in the middle of the room and embraced in a tight and warm hug.
"Please tell me this isn't goodbye forever..." He said into my hair, he sounded like he was about to cry. I pulled away and kept my hands on his shoulders.
"Of course not Severus, as far as I'm concerned I still have a whole lifetime ahead of me with you." This made him smile, which caused me to smile as well. "I'll write every day, and any moment I get to see you I will take. Okay?" I reassured him.
"I look forward to it." He said before pulling me in by the hips. I pushed my lips up against his in another kiss. I let it go on for a bit before I pulled away, letting my lips linger on his for a moment.
"Goodbye for now, Severus." I gave him one final peck before leaving his grasp and walking out of the room backwards, so I could look at him for as long as possible.
"Goodbye, for now, love."
Super short, I know, but that usually means I'll be posting another really short one after or the next chapter is longer.
