Harry's POV
I walked into Professor Lupin's Office.
"Hello Harry." he said.

I was confused at first, but he pointed at the map.
"I saw you come in. I've looked worse. Believe me." he said.

"You've been sacked." I said.
"No. I've resigned." Lupin replied.
"What? You can't resign." I said.
"Well, it seems somebody let slip of my condition. This time tomorrow owls will start arriving and parents will not want to...well, you know have someone like me teaching." he said.

"But Dumbledore---" I started.
"Dumbledore has caused enough. Why do you two look so miserable?" he asked.
"None of it made any difference. Pettigrew escaped." I replied.
"Didn't make any difference. It made all the difference in the world. You both helped uncover the truth. You rescued a man from a terrible fate. It made a great difference. If I am proud of anything it is of how much you leanred this year. Now since I am no longer your teacher, I feel no guilt what so ever about giving this back to you, Harry." said Lupin.

He pointed towards the map.

"So, now I say goodbye to you. I'm sure we'll meet again sometime. Until then. Mischeif Manage." he said.

The map folded itself. Lupin left his office.

I watched Professor Lupin left his office. Such a great teacher. I picked up the map and left.

Isabelle's POV
"So you two are saying that you knew." Hermione said.
Erika nodded.

"We knew, but our Dad told us not to tell anybody." she said.
"So, all this time you and EXO helped Sirius Black." Hermione said.

"Yeah." I replied.

Then Hedwig came flying through and left the package.
"This must be for Harry." Erika said.
"I think so." I said.

"Let's open it." Fred and George said.
"What? No way. It's Harry's." said Ron.

"Oh, come on Ron. You're curious." Fred said.

Harry's POV
I headed to the Great Hall.

"Harry. Where did you get it?" Neville asked us.
"They're brilliant. Can I give it a try? After you of course." Seamus said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.
A little curious about it.
"Let him through. I didn't mean to open them They made me do it." Ron said, pointing at Fred and George.

"We did not." they said.

I opened the gift. And it was a broom.

"It's a firebolt. The fastest broom in the world." George said.
"The second fastest broom in the world. Belle's got the Thunderbolt." Seamus said.

"Who sent it?" I asked.
"No one knows." Ron replied.

Hermione picked up a feather.
"This came along with it."

I smiled at that and I know who sent it.

~Outside~
We all ran outside with my new broom.
"Try it out Harry." Erika said.

"But first..." I held out my hand. And she seems pretty shocked about that.
"Come with me." I said.

She smiled and nodded. She took my hand and got on.
Once she got on....we started flying.

"WAHOOOO!!!!" we exclaimed.
With Erika by my side....it makes my whole day even better.
But the thing is....I've got to tell her how I feel about her. And I wonder if she has the same feeling?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Erika's POV
Flying on Harry's new broom with him is a BLAST! I wrapped my arms around his waist tightly.
Feeling the sparks between us. This is the moment that I won't forget.

But....what if he doesn't like me? I don't even know.

Isabelle's POV
I smiled as my sister got onto Harry's broom. But then, my wand twinkled again. And I know what that meant.
I slowly back away and head to the tower or where my wand is taking me.

It took me to the Astronomy Tower. And that's where the blonde ferret stood there.
"I thought I told you that I don't want to see you again." I said, crossing my arms.

Malfoy sighed and turned to me.
"I know you don't want to see me, because of what happened and I'm sorry." he said.

I let out a soft sigh.
"I know how sorry you are Malfoy, but it's going to take me a long time to forgive you." I said.

"I know." he mumbled.
"Can I go?" I asked.

He didn't say anything at all.
I was about to walk away until....he finally said something.

"Belle, I know our wands are the same." he said.

I stopped and listened to him.

"We have the same wand, same core. And I remember what Ollivander told me about it. If a couple has the same wand...it means we're destined to be together. And I know...that someday, you'll fall for me." he said.

"That's not going to happen." I said, then I walked away.

This year has gone by very quick. Erika came back from flying with Harry. We got all of our belongings and went back home.
But for what Malfoy said...it's been still going on in my mind.

Sooner or later. I know you'll fall for me, someday. he says.

That's not going to happen..right?
