Chapter 2: 2023 Seven Years Later…….Graduation

Flashback……

"Congratulations class of 2023!" Headmaster Dumbledore exclaimed.

There was a resounding cheer through out the great hall as the graduating students jumped from their chairs and threw their hats in the air. They were finished. The students had completed Hogwarts and could now start their own lives!

As everyone was clapping and cheering a loud explosion was heard from over head and they all watched as a large bubble punctured and covered the professors on the podium in ice cold water. A banner then unrolled that read…It's been swell! Love the Golden Trio and Marauders! Underneath it all everyone saw the pictures that had become the calling card of the pranksters. A grey tabby with half moon markings around its eyes, a black raven, a doe with green eyes, a rat with a crooked tail, a golden retriever, a brown werewolf, and a large stag with green eyes.

After the initial shock the hall fell into fits of laughter as the seven troublemakers took the stage and bowed.

End Flashback……

Two hours ago all the Professors were covered in water and now here everyone was dancing away; enjoying the Graduation Ball. Regulus watched on in proud wonder at the seven.

They had grown up, pranked, hexed, played, and aced all through their seven years.

Three of those had all seven on the Quidditch team.

They won every year much to Minerva Dumbledore's delight.

Albus had been Capitan and Seeker; Minerva and Emily were Beaters; Leo, Abigale, and Trevor were Chasers; and Richard had been Keeper.

The seven had broken more rules than anyone in the school.

They'd been given more awards than even when Albus Dumbledore was in school.

Every one of them had gotten Os in all their O.W.Ls and N.E.W.Ts and now they were graduated.

"Seems only yesterday Sirius and dad were teaching them how to fly on those little toddler brooms doesn't it?" Marissa laughed walking up to her husband.

"Yes," he nodded putting and arm around her waist and kissing her head, "and now they've finished. I'm sure the others are glad."

"It was a great prank though," Marissa laughed.

"As usual a genius. They'll go far for sure," he nodded. The couple's eyes roamed the dance floor and came to rest on Albus Potter and Emily Dumbledore. They watched and with baited breathe as Albus's knee hit the floor and he opened a red velvet box to reveal a diamond ring encased on a silver band.

They couldn't tell what was said but they knew the answer when they saw Emily nodded. They smiled as he placed the ring on her finger and spun her around.

"And life goes on," Marissa happily sighed and pulled her husband toward the happy couple to congratulate them.
