Their last year flew by and much too soon graduation was around the corner. The seventh years had just finished their last NEWT exam and they were now sitting out by the black lake. Remus' head leaned on Sirius' shoulder, Lily and Fabian were engrossed in a conversation about apartments and living arrangements. Marlene sat next to Dorcas with a sketchpad and a pencil, occasionally glancing up at Dorcas. Peter was telling Griffin about a job opportunity he got at the ministry, it made Arabella happy to see Peter so excited, he really needed a win. Violet and Liam sat hand in hand with their eyes closed. The pair had finally admitted their feelings for each other (Arabella had helped a bit). Regulus had gone off somewhere to search for Slughorn.

And finally, Arabella's head laid in James' lap and he was playing with her hair. Two years they had dated now and there were still just as in love as when they started. She loved him with every fiber of her being and he would go to the ends of the earth if it meant being with her. 

"I want hair like Farrah Fawcett," Arabella thought aloud

"Same" Sirius chimed

"You are gorgeous just the way you are" James hummed kissing Ara's forehead

"oh Prongs you flatter me," Sirius said in a high pitched tone

"actually Sirius I think a Debbie Harry would look much more suitable on you" Violet snickered

"pads if you change your hair I will go on a sex strike" Remus deadpanned

Sirius paled and his face dropped, "yeah I actually quite like my hair right now"

The group laughed for a long time until the laughter sort of just fizzled. 

"Seven years," Fabian said in a reminiscent tone

"seven years" Lily smiled leaning on Fabian's shoulder

"seven years," the whole group said simultaneously

there was silence for a bit, but not an uncomfortable silence. it was one of those reminiscent and blissful silences

"hey where's reg" Griffin spoke up breaking the silence

"why missing lover boy?" Arabella teased

Griffin playfully smacked Ara's stomach which made her laugh

As if on cue Regulus appeared in front of the group looking all flustered and puffy. He looked like he'd been crying

At the sight, Arabella, Griffin, and Sirius shot up

"what happened?"

"are you alright?"

"talk to me, love"
