I shuffled nervously in my seat waiting for my N.E.W.T results to come in. Looking either side of me I saw James biting his nails and Alex, my boyfriend of 2 years (he's a lot nicer than Matt), anxiously playing with his fingers.

"I've done it! I got the grades I needed!"

Alex wrapped me up in a big hug as a cheer erupted from the Slytherin side of the hall. Turning to see what the commotion was all about I saw Willow stood on the table waving her letter in the air yelling.

"It's like getting my acceptance letter to Hogwarts all over again!"

Laughing I looked over to where Lou would be, only for her not to be sat there. Quickly looking around the rest of the hall I noticed her blonde head caught up in a heated kiss from her boyfriend from day one, James Sirius Potter. I guess she got the grades she wanted. Leaning into Alex's warm body, I smiled contently. Life couldn't get any better in this moment.
