Strings Attached

Chapter 6

"It is absurd, but do not let her ruin your mood. If I was Newt, and I am sure he would agree with me, I would have wanted you to make the best of the 7th year! Please do not ruin your last year as a Hogwarts student. And weren't you supposed to head towards the head girl's room?" Helena asked as the realization dawned her and she stared at the head girl batch.

"Not tonight. I wanted to be here. Now this common room feels so empty with all our seniors gone." Celeste heaved a sigh and fiddled with her school robes.

"I can concur. Paul is gone, can you believe it? That insufferable best friend of mine actually graduated and is now editor at daily prophet!" Helena exclaimed, shaking her head.

"What are you going to be Helena?" Celeste asked as she stared at the fire.

"Healer or medi witch." Helena said before they were joined by George. "You will be one hell of a head mediwitch in existence." George said as he sat beside Helena.

"I said medi witch, there is no mention of head mediwitch. How did you even deduce that?" Helena asked, her face scrunching up in confusion.

"Because you will be such a good medi witch that the st. Mungos had to promote you as the head medi witch. And then I will celebrate it with 'I told you so' as a big chart." George said, a smug look on his face.

"This boy right here will be the death of me. Why are you such a dork?" Helena grumbled, nevertheless smiling before placing a small kiss on his lips.

"No public display of affection please." Celeste groaned as she shoved Helena into George.

And the months flew by, with Celeste doing her head girl duties, and securing the highest Marks in N.E.W.T.S test in Hogwarts history.

All Professors were betting on her breaking records of N.E.W.T.S exams like she did with her O.W.L.S with getting full marks in every subject she opted for.

She even managed to win Gryffindor their quidditch cup, and surprisingly enough they also won the house cup, making Celeste the pride of Gryffindor house.

Celeste stood in front of her full sized mirror as she wore her school robes for the last time. Her time at Hogwarts was all she could have asked for.

She fixed her captain batch and head girl batch before combing her hair into tight pony and looked around her dorm for the last time.

She sighed before taking her wand and kneeled in front of her bed and engraved 'C.A.Fischer 1908-1914'

She smiled for the last time before exiting her room.

"Why are you wearing your school robes?" Helena asked as she was dressed in her civilian clothes.

"Simply because I want to keep them until I reach the king's cross." Celeste answered as she sat on the window seat, staring at the castle.

"It feels weird, doesn't it? We won't be back next year." Helena said as she leaned on George's shoulder.

"It surely does." Celeste answered as the train started to move and Castle began to fade out of the view.

"You won't be back as a teacher?" Helena asked as she too stared at the window.

"I want to be an auror. And I will be one." Celeste said smiling as she thought her ambition will be true really soon.

"There will be no doubt in that." Helena answered smiling, until hush spread over them.

The Train came to a halt, and Celeste couldn't wait longer as she hoped from the train with her trunk and owl cage.

She hugged Helena tightly one more time before letting the girl go with her fiance to her new life. George asked her to marry him in their last week of Hogwarts and she said yes, resulting in her being dishonored because George is half blood.

She waited for her family, but they didn't come to her. She frowned as she thought they forgot about her arrival.

"Celeste!" Someone's voice rang out, making Celeste spun around, just to be tackled into a tight hug.

"Newt! I took it as you missed me." Celeste said, grinning widely.

"Oh you don't know anything! How was your school year?" Newt asked as he let go from the hug.

"Amazing. How about you? Still in the elf's liaison?" Celeste asked.

"Yes, it's boring and my worst fear,but I will be out of that boredom soon. Let's get you home." Newt said before taking her trunk and owl cage.

They laughed and chatted all the way to the Fischer manor in Yorkshire.

If Celeste was honest with herself, the current situation surrounding her was everything she needed.

Her parents, her brother, Newt. She wouldn't change it for anyone. She smiled at the thought.
