"Today we acknowledge a really terrible loss. Cedric Diggory was as you all know, exceptionally hard-working, intricately fair-minded. And most importantly a fierce, fierce friend. I think therefore you have the right to know exactly how he died. You see, Cedric Diggory was murdered by Lord Voldemort." Dumbledore starts.
Immediately, the hall converges into whispers, murmuring fearfully.
"The Ministry of Magic does not wish me to tell you this. But not to do so I think would be an insult to his memory. Now the pain we all feel at this dreadful loss reminds me, reminds us that while we may come from different places and speak in different tongues, our hearts beat as one. In light of recent events, the bonds of friendship we made this year will be more important than ever. Remember that and Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain, you remember that. And we'll celebrate a boy who was kind and honest and brave and true right to the very end." Dumbledore finishes.
Everyone is going home, back to their respective schools, as Roselie and Remus chat with the teachers in hushed voices, along with Sirius.
"Mum? Dad? Are you-" Aubery asks, walking in the Great Hall.
"The Order of The Phoenix-" Aubery heard someone say before they turned to the brunette.
"Aubs, darling, why don't you wait in the courtyard for us, we'll take you home by ourselves." Roselie says, waving her off.
"Oh, okay mum." Aubery trails off into the courtyard, where a large crowd has gathered. The pupils are going home.
Viktor Krum gives Hermione a kiss and hands her some paper. "Write to me. Promise."
"Bye." Hermione smiles.
Ron is sitting alone. The Delacour sisters approach him, they both, in turn, give him a kiss on the head.
"Au revoir Ron." Fleur smiles, before spotting Aubery.
"Aubery!" Fleur smiles, traveling over to the 14-year-old.
"Bonjour, Fleur." Aubery smiles.
Fleur hands Aubery an elaborately decorated card with her address on it. "Write?"
"Of course." Aubery smiles, taking the card. "I'll send an owl as soon as possible."
Fleur and Gabrielle smile, before Fleur leaves a quick kiss on Aubery's face, before leaving to join the Beauxbatons team leaves in uniform, as the crowd applauds. The Durmstrang students leave too, shaking hands as they go.
"Aubery!" Seamus runs towards his girlfriend, smiling. "Write to me as soon as possible."
"Don't worry Sea, I will." Aubery smiles, kissing Seamus on the lips. They intertwine their hands together, their bodies getting closer and closer, before separating for air, gasping quietly.
"See you on the train." Seamus smiles, leaving.
"See you later." Aubery waves.
"Hey, Aubery." Eliza smiles, walking up to the young girl.
"Lizzie!" Aubery smiles, hugging Eliza. She returns the hug happily.
"You'll write, right?" Eliza asks, before laughing. "Write, right."
"They rhyme!" Aubery finishes before they crack up.
"Bye! See you on the train!" Eliza waves.
Harry comes up to Aubery. "Hey, Aubs." He says quietly.
"Harry! How have you been?" Aubery questions.
"Decent. Wish I didn't have to go back to the Dursely's" Harry sighs.
"We'll come for you before you know it!" Aubery promises as Ron and Hermione walk up to the gang.
"Do you think we'll ever just have a quiet year at Hogwarts?" Ron asks as they walk to the train station.
"No." Hermione and Aubery say simultaneously.
"No, I don't think so." Harry shakes his head.
"Everything's going to change now isn't it?" Hermione asks.
"Yes." Aubery nods.
"Promise you'll write this summer. The three of you." Hermione says.
"I will." Aubery smiles.
"Well, I won't. You know I won't!" Ron laughs, dodging Hermione's hand. "Okay, okay, I will!"
"Harry will, won't you?" Hermione asks, smiling.
Harry nods. "Yeah. Every week."
They look over the balcony, the flying horses pulling a carriage head off into the distance. The Bulgarians' ship goes underwater, as they board the train.
"You not coming Aubery?" Ron asks, as they board the train.
"Mum says she'll be taking me home, so no." Aubery shakes her head. "I'll see you guys soon."
"Bye!" Hermione says, boarding the train.
"Aubery!" Ginny smiles, seeing the brunette. "Luna, there she is!"
"Hello." Luna smiles serenely, before waving near Aubery's ear. "You've got a Nargle. I got rid of it for you though."
"Thanks." Aubery smiles. "How have you been Ginny?"
"Great. You wanna sit with us?" Ginny asks.
"I'm going with my mum actually, so I'll be staying at Hogwarts." Aubery shakes her head.
"Oh. Bye!" Ginny nods, before boarding the train as the train blares its horn.
"Goodbye." Luna smiles, as they board, and the train starts moving.
"Bye!" Aubery waves, running towards the train before she stopped at the end of the platform. "Bye."
"There yer are Aubery!" Hagrid greets, as Aubery turns to him. "Lookey here, I think there's a new someone looking forward to meeting yeh."
A bubblegum-pink haired lady walks to Aubery smiling.
"Hello! I'm Tonks. I'm a slightly new Auror, and in your Mum's squad, and she's kinda like a mum to me, which kinda makes me your older sister I guess." Tonk says.
"Really? No way! I've always wanted a sister. Not that Harry isn't a good brother, but-" Aubery starts.
"Boys, am I right?" Tonks questions.
"Yeah!" Aubery nods enthusiastically.
"Anyways, have you heard of Number 12, Grimmauld Place?"
