Chapter 29- The End is never truly an end, but a beginning

Late May 1996

 

It was through very hard work that Dennis managed to end the year as a Fourth Year with his Coraline and his twin.

Draco, Blaise, Hermione and Harry sat down for their N.E.W.T. exams.

Under Draco's leadership Slytherin won the Quidditch cup, but Alicia's Gryffindor team was barely 150 points or so behind.

Slytherin and Gryffindor tied for the House Cup, Ravenclaw finished at the bottom for the first time in any memory, while Hufflepuff was at least two thousand points ahead.

The Black clan was growing; Charity was expecting a child and nearly three months along. Dora was furious that Arthur had put her on desk duty, but he steadfastly refused to put a pregnant woman in the field. Her mother Andromeda forced her to abide by his orders and her mentor Alastor worked himself to the ground most days to make up for her absence. She was over four months old and had been on desk duty for half of that.

Charlie had spoken to Seamus' grandfather and their charges were set to be Bonded in mid-July. Dennis and Coraline decided to take it slower and would be officially betrothed in August.

Aurelian and Lucan were crawling now; leaving Moony to chase after them worried they might be hurt. He had become even more protective than ever after the attack on Malfoy Manor.

Rumours of attacks among Muggles and Wizarding folk alike were rampant. There was some talk of leaving the school open in the summer for the first time in the memories of all living or ghost.

There were dark days ahead; both Blaise and Coraline could feel it…

Here was where the line in the sand would be drawn; for the Dragon, the Lion, the Maiden and the Eagle were stepping out into the adult world leaving the innocent days of childhood behind. They were following in the path that the Gemini had always traveled first.

One could argue that they had never truly been children.

 

 

Notes:

Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll? What do you think?

Okay, so this isn't exactly how I expected this part to end and doubtlessly you didn't see this end coming either.

Ponder for a moment faithful readers, if school ended every term on June 1st, the day all Hogwarts students took the train to King's Cross; why were they still there on June 17th when the Battle at the Department of Mysteries occurred? So it was part of Sixth Year rather than the Fifth. Don't worry, the Battle will occur on schedule even though the circumstances might change.

Edit: I wasn't as well-versed in Hogwarts' calendar as I am now when I wrote that, but it's too late to change it.
