i will wait for you

I don’t have one and I left all of my heavy cloaks at home last time I visited. The library is closed, too. I don’t really know what to do with myself, I guess.

Why's the library closed? Oh, and you could borrow my umbrella if you'd like.

It's so rainy out.

Go for a walk anyway. Take an umbrella.

You left the castle?

I leave every weekend to help out my mum. McGonagall isn't fond of it, but oh well.

I would have gotten out of there sooner but I lost track of my girlfriend and was trying to get to her so we could get out of there. Shouldn’t be too long, but they’re making me drink this nasty stuff to speed up the process a bit.

Well that's great of you to help get her out of there. I know a bunch of people just deserted their dates and ran. Oh, I know what stuff you're talking about! They made me drink it after... um, this accident that I had. It was gross.

I thought I remembered seeing you, but I didn’t want to bring it up and make things awkward if I was wrong. I mean, other than blacking out you seem fine - so at least you’re alright. It was pretty insane.

Yeah, I think I saw you there too. I've got a couple scrapes and bruises here and there, but it's nothing compared to a broken arm. How long do you think you'll have that cast on?

Failing? Well, sweetheart, you should take some more responsibility for your grades then. If you want to graduate, you have to earn that privilege, not just expect it to be granted to you. Yeah, put a little more faith in yourself, but don’t completely rely on sheer luck either. McGonagall will eventually pass you, but you don’t want to stick around forever, would you?

Yeah, failing. That's a brand new word for you Ravenclaws, isn't it? There was too much stuff going on this year for me to focus on something as trivial as passing an unnecessary Ancient Runes class. Although Professor Young did like me for some reason, Merlin knows why. And no, I'd prefer not to stick around forever, to be honest.

I- At the Edwards Wedding actually. I’m sure you’ve heard all about that fiasco by now. 

Oh, figures. I was there, I just honestly have no idea what happened to everyone. I think I blacked out.

Have a little more faith in yourself, love. I’m sure it’s not five years. Maybe just a couple, but nothing like fifty. McGonagall wouldn’t let that happen. If she did, I’m sure there would be many ghosts of students past lurking around the halls.

It's hard to do that when you're failing all your classes, love. Five years, ten years, what's the difference? I'm stuck here when all of my friends graduate. Not fun.

I just want to get this cast off already.

What? When did you break your arm?

Everyone has their own time and place. Yours should come soon. Don’t fret.

Yeah, fifty years after the rest of our class, eh? Oh well, you're right. 

Graduation.

Yeah, for those of you graduating.
