Soulmates

Chapter Twenty Eight

Genevieve’s P.O.V
It was now the next day and it was the day that Fred, George and I, along with the rest of the Seventh year students, would be Graduating and everyone was gathered where we had first arrived when we came by boat for our first year here. Everyone had soon quiet down when Dumbledore had spoken up, “welcome all to your final day on the grounds of Hogwarts. Today is the day that all of you will leave here the same way you had arrived in hopes that you all will be successful in the things that you do with remembrance of the things you have learned here during your Seven years at Hogwarts, The teachers and myself wish you all the best for the days to come. Now you al may step foot on the boats and soon leave as you will all be following Professor Hagrid back to Hogwarts Express” Dumbledore said to everyone and I smiled at Aunt Minerva, “I will meet you at home later, so you will be taking the train back alright dear” she said as she hugged me and I gently nodded, “alright Auntie” I said as he separated from the hug, “ your parents would be so proud of you like I am” he said and I continued to smile, “I hope so” I said as she patted my cheeks, “now you get on that boat with Fred and George, quickly now dear” she said and I sat down with Fred and George as I watched Hogwarts grow distant by the minute and I was soon brought out of my thoughts when I heard Fred and George calling my name, “Genny, what are you thinking about” Fred asked, “ya, it looked like you were indeed thought” George mentioned and I sighed, “ph I was just thinking about everything that we have done together before now” I said to them as I continued to look at the distant Castle, “ahhh, the memories that we will miss except for the teachers. They’re probably glad we’re gone to be honest, but it was fun pulling the pranks we had done” George said and I laughed, “ya, you’re probably right, they definitely won’t miss us” I said as we continued to laugh until we finally arrived at the Train stop and we soon got on and we continued to talk about the memories we had together until we had finally arrived at Kings Cross Train Station and said our goodbyes for now.

After I had finally arrived home, I checked to see if Aunt Minerva was home yet but saw that she wasn’t and I had decided to head upstairs to unpack my things and get everything organized and decided to write to Remus that I am now finished Hogwarts and that I was now home and that I might go to the Burrow in a week or so and that I hoped to see him as well some time soon. By the time I had finished writing the letter to Remus, I sent it with my Owl with a small smile until I heard Aunt Minerva calling my name, “hey Auntie” I said as I headed downstairs to see that she was just getting in, “hello dear, how was the train ride back” she asked and I smiled, “it was good, i’m gonna miss it at Hogwarts though” I said as I helped her bring her things to her room, “I know you will dear, I did as well when I left but I was also lucky to have come back as a teacher and I am glad that I have taken up the job when it was offered to me by Dumbledore” she said as we put her stuff down and headed back downstairs and Into the living room, “you know, Fred and George have mentioned that they were thinking of opening a Joke shop of their own soon” I told Aunt Minerva and her eyes went wide, “oh really, to be honest I’m not surprised about this. Jokes and pranks is all they do” she said with a smile and I agreed, “so their might be a funeral for Sirius at some point during this summer, I’m assuming you’re going to attend” she mentioned and I nodded, “I want to be there for both Harry and Remus, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who would want to either” I said and she nodded, “I know you do sweetie and Dumbledore said he would inform me when the Funeral will be” she said as it brought up the memory of what had happened that night, “what are you thinking about dear” she asked as I looked up, “oh, the mention of a funeral had brought up the memories of what happened and seeing Harry the way he was, it’s just, I don’t really know how to explain it” I told her as my eyes started to water a little, “I know dear” she said as she brought me into a hug and rubbed my back a little and we were like that for a while in silence until she spoke up again, “how about a cup of tea” she said and I nodded and we both went into the Kitchen and boiled the kettle and began to make the tea when the kettle was done and talked about something else for a while and had a few laughs until we decided to head to bed for the night.

It has been about a week or so since the twins and I have Graduated and Aunt Minerva had received a letter from Dumbledore about the Funeral for Sirius a day or so ago and today was the day as Aunt Minerva and I had left to where it was going to be and soon arrived and at first it looked unfamiliar until I saw a grave with the names of James and Lily Potter and thought that they must have been Harry’s Parents and I thought it was nice that Sirius was going to be buried next to them and after sometime had gone by, I had noticed Remus standing in front of the graves and I slowly walked up to him and lightly placed a hand on his back and gently rubbed it and soon held his hand and just stayed silent until he was ready to speak, “no matter who it is or how it happens, they always leave as I get close to them. that ‘s why I tried to push you away in the beginning because I was scared that I would lose you” he said and I said nothing at first until I finally spoke up, “none of this was your fault Remus, it will never be your fault. They wouldn’t want you blaming yourself for something you didn't do, do you understand me? Look at me” I said as I gently rested my hand on his cheek as he turned his head to look at me, “do you understand what I’m saying, this will never be your fault. I’m sure they were glad to be your best friend no matter what you were to them and I’m sure they loved you as family just like me, except I love you more than just family. You will always be my love not matter what you are” I told him and he looked back at the Graves and I held him close as I felt him rest his head over mine, “I love you my darling” he whispered to me, “I love you to my love” I said back and we both walked away to let the others pay their respects.

After the Funeral was over, everyone had gone their separate ways as they all headed home since it was getting late and I stayed with Remus for a bit longer, “so now that school is over for the summer. What are you planning on doing” I asked him and he shrugged, “I don’t know. I have found a cottage to live in recently though” he said and I was happy for him, “well I’m glad you did, I’m sure that staying at Sirius’s home would bring back memories, not that it’s a bad thing but I hope you know what I mean” I said and he nodded, “don’t worry I know what you’re trying to say” he said and kissed my forehead, “you should head home, I’m sure you got things to do.” he said caressing my cheek and I kissed the palm of his hand, “I’ll see you soon I hope” I said and he nodded, “we’ll see each other soon my love don’t worry” he said with a small smile and we soon parted ways for the night and I soon headed home with Aunt Minerva. By the time we got home, we both sat in the living room and the room was silent for a while until I spoke up, “do you want some tea Auntie” I asked as I began to stand up from the couch, “yes please der, that would be nice” she answered and I walked into the kitchen to soon hear the radio being turned on as I made the tea for the both of us before heading back into the living room with a tray with the tea on it, “so I was thinking of going to help with Fred and George with their Joke shop soon and I was also thinking of spending time with Remus if that’s alright with you” I asked as I sat down and took a sip of my tea, “that’s fine with me dear. Just know to be careful alright” she said and I nodded, “I will, I promise” I said and we continued to talk for a while until it started getting late and we were getting tired and we soon headed to bed for the night.
