"MUM, WAKE UP." LILITH HEARS whispers. "Mum! Wake up." Lilith groans. "Mum!" Someone starts shaking her violently so she would wake up. "What!" Lilith sits up. "Your graduation is today, mum. You have to get ready!" Isabella rushes her. "Geez, could you please not scream. I'm still like half asleep."

Lilith and the twins had one of their sleepovers in the Room of Requirements, before they had to leave for summer break. For the twins they were just going to come back next semester, but for Lilith, well she had to start working in about three weeks.

"Come on mum. Get up." Harry whines. "I'm tired." Lilith whines back. "If you're late you won't be able to do that big prank." That made Lilith immediately stand up and run to the bathroom.

LILITH WAS PUTTING ON HER graduation gown when she heared the door open. "Is she ready yet?" She hears Gracie ask the twins. "Almost." Isabella answers. "Lilian! Hurry your slow arse up!" She hears Leo yell. "Shut up, Leonardo!" Lilith yells back from the bathroom. Lilith grabs her cap and walks out of the bathroom. "Finally!" Leo groans. Lilith smacks the side of his head. "Shut up." She says. Lilith was about to ask Isabella something when she sees her talking to Clara with flustered cheeks. She leans down to Harry's level and whispers in his ear. " I bet you 5 galleons that they'll end up dating." She sees Harry smirk. "You're on, mum." He sticks his hand out to her to shake.

"IT IS NOW TIME FOR THE graduates to receive their diploma's." Dumbledore says. He then signals to Professor Mcgonagall. The Professor stands up walks up to the microphone. "Jade Anderson." She starts off. Everyone starts clapping. "Um, I would like to thank my mother. My father can suck a di- I won't finish that Professor. But yeah he can. I also want to thank my friends. Also my boyfriend, he's back there somewhere, he's helped me in so many ways." She points to Jaxson. Silas and Zander start to wolf whistle. "I also would like to thank my professors. You all have taught me so much. And that's it." Jade nods and walks off the stage with a smile.

Lilith starts to think about the speech in her pocket. What if I don't say everyone's name? This is a lot of pressure. Hm, wonder what we are going to eat afterwards. I am so hungry. I should've brought some snacks. Lilith is pulled out of her thoughts when she hears a familiar name. "Aiden Campbell." Lilith starts to clap. "Uh, I would like to thank my aunt. She has taken good care of me for the past 18 years. I love you. Um, my friends. You are all amazing. And the Professors." Aiden finishes and walks off the stage. Oh Aiden and his awkward self. Lilith smiles to herself. Lilith zones out again then hears her friend's name. "Alina Fawley." the group of friends stand up and cheer loudly as ever. "THATS MY SISTER!" They hear Jaxson cheer from the back. They all sit down and Alina was standing at the microphone with flushed cheeks. "Um." She laughs. "I would like to thank my dormates. You girls are absolutely amazing. Even with all of your crazy selfs I still love you."
