Catch me if you Can

Graduation

I was finally allowed to leave that next monday, after Madam Pomfrey could assure I had no long lasting injuries. I was greeted out by Poppy, Andrea and Tony.

"I'm so happy to be out!"I said, skipping along the hallways. There was a bounce in my feet, as I smiled at everyone that passed by me.

"Slow down silly!"Andrea exclaimed giggling, catching up to me. Tony came and took her hand and Poppy went to stand at my side, wearing a gryffindor shirt. 

"That reminds me"I said suddenly. "What the hell is happening between you and Percy Weasley?"

"Well, we started talking after Quinn left me. He was with me lots in the library, and I don't know. I just really like him, you know what I mean?"

"Not at all"Tony, Andrea and I said at the same time and we laughed. Poppy blushed. Suddenly, Bill turned the corner and saw us. He grinned.

"Sorry to bother you all, it seems you're having a good time.. but may I borrow Miss Black for a minute?"he asked. My three friends looked at me eyebrows raised, but I simply shrugged like I didn't care (though internally my heart was skipping around with joy) and I followed him into a empty classroom. The minute the door was closed, he kissed me softly. 

"It's good to see you too"I said softly, when he stopped. 

"I just wanted to let you know Max, that Remus left this morning. He wanted me to tell you goodbye"

"What? Why couldn't he come and see me himself?"I gasped, suddenly sad.

"He just wasn't ready to see the damage he has caused you. He still feels extremely guilt Max. And I don't know if he'll ever get over that"

"Well, he better be at my graduation ceremony this friday"I said resolutely.

Bill gave me a small smile but didn't say anything. "You should probably get back to your friends"

"I guess. Will I see you at my graduation?"

"Of course! I am your teacher after all"he said, smirking.

"Only my teacher?"I asked, pouting. He chuckled. 

"And as your boyfriend as well"he added, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear and pecking me on my nose. I smiled, feeling warm inside, before turning around to open the door. I was just about to step outside when Bill called: "Hey Max?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you so much"

I felt myself smile, if possible, even more. "I love you too Professor"

I found Andrea, Tony, Poppy, and Percy, who I guess joined, outside laying under a tree. While I was walking there, I bumped into Ron and Harry. 

"Hey! How are you two feeling?"I asked joyfully. 

"I'm way better. I'm happy to see you out of the hospital wing"Ron said sincerely. 

"Aww, thanks Ron!"

"And I am too. And also Max, I wanted to say, I'm sorry for never really believing you, when you told me what had happened between your dad and Pettigrew"Harry said, looking ashamed. 

"Don't worry about Harry. Seriously. Adults didn't even believe me. Only my mum did"

Harry smiled, looking a little relieved. 

"Well, we need to go find Hermione. If I don't see you, congratulations on graduating this week!"Harry grinned. 

"Thanks!" I watched the duo walk away, and I was glad, at that moment, that I had become a little more close with them after what had happened. I finally came to join my friends and sat down beside Andrea, who was sitting in Tony's lap.
