A/N: I lowkey wanna go through and put dates on the chapters so the timeline makes more sense. Also I've begun re-editing (nothing's changed just grammer/ spelling/ word choice)!

Ivy:

"End of the year party at Hufflepuff in two hours," Marcus said to a few of us who were reclining on the couches in the common room. "Sixth and seventh years only." We had two days left at Hogwarts. Two fucking days.

"We're all going," Alyssa said to everyone in an almost stern manner, "It's our last party at school."

"I agree," I added. The rest of the group agreed and we chatted for awhile before getting ready for the party. We took our time getting ready partly, I think, because we wanted to savor the moment. I couldn't believe how quickly school had flown by, and I wanted our last few moments to last. 

"We have to promise to see each other often," Meghan said to Alyssa and I as we did our hair. 

"Totally," I responded, "We're going to hang out at least once a week, I'll make sure of it."

"We better," Alyssa added. The three of us joined Mary and Olivia for finishing touches before walking down to the common room. We snuck through the dark hallway as a group before arriving at the Hufflepuff greenhouses. The night reminded me of Halloween in my sixth-year. 

We entered the common room to the sight of many students mingling and dancing with one another. Spirits were high and drink levels were low. 

I surveyed the party for Oliver, spotting him with his usual crew. He was debating quidditch per usual and I walked up to meet him. He wrapped an arm around my waist as soon as I approached, pulling me close against him.

Oliver:

Ivy and I hung out with a very random group of people at the party- some of which included a couple of my friends, a couple of her friends, both Davies and Cedric and a some of their friends. Definitely an unexpected group, but as much as we all wouldn't admit it, we wanted to spend time with our peers who we likely wouldn't be seeing much after school. 

An hour into the party, neither Ivy nor I had drank much while the majority of the people at the party were wasted. 

"You wanna get out of here?" I asked her quietly. She gave me a slight smirk before nodding her head. 

The two of us snuck out of the Hufflepuff common room and I began walking in the direction of the locker rooms. 

"Where are you going?" She whispered. 

"Locker room," I said back.

"Not one of our dormitories?" She whispered with a confused look.

"No, I want to do something."

"Ok," she said before following me down the dark corridor.

We arrived at the locker room and I grabbed my broom while she followed suit.

"Too much deja vu, Oliver," she smirked.

"That's the point," I smiled back. "It's our second-to-last night at Hogwarts, we have to relive a memory."

We walked out the doors and flew up towards the castle roof, landing where we had over a year ago. The two of us set our brooms down and walked over to the base of the astronomy tower to sit down. The night air was warm and reminded me of last summer. 

We sat down next to one another and looked out at the campus.

"God, I'm gonna miss this place," I said.
