I do not own anything except the characters I created and the storyline. JK Rowling is the genius who started it all.
Please take the time to review. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
So I've decided to change my original plan for this story. It's actually going end in a couple of chapters (Three or four at the most). I am planning a sequel. The information about the sequel will be posted with the last chapter of this story.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Hailey Weasley woke up earlier than usual. Perhaps, it had something to do with finally admitting who she wanted to be with. She planned on telling him today. Unbeknownst to her, another student could not sleep. In his dormitory, Noah groaned wishing his body would let him fall back asleep. Even though he was tired, he could not fall back asleep. Noah tried counting frogs. It did not work. So he rolled out of bed and went to get ready for the day ahead of him. When he finished getting ready, he walked into the common room. There was one other person already there.
"Couldn't sleep?" he asked.
Hailey glanced over at him surprised. "I didn't think anyone else was awake."
"Well, like you I couldn't sleep."
"Did you try counting frogs?"
"Yes, I counted over 2,374,885 frogs."
Hailey smiled at him. "You can count that high?" she joked.
He threw a couch pillow at her. "Yes, I can. Although, I may have skipped a few numbers."
"So why are you awake?" he asked her.
"I guess I was nervous or something."
"Nervous? Please tell me we don't have a test today."
"Relax, there is not a test."
"Are you nervous about your tryout?"
"Well yes, but.."
"Don't worry about it," he interrupted. "You'll be terrific."
"Thanks, but that is not why I couldn't sleep."
"Oh. Then why couldn't you?"
"Hey guys," stated someone from behind them.
"Will, what are you doing out of bed?" asked Hailey.
"I was planning on getting an early start on my potions assignment," he replied.
"Really?" she questioned.
"No, of course not," he stated. "Noah's counting kept me awake. I don't think he understands the concept of counting frogs."
"What do you mean?" asked Hailey as Noah smirked.
"He was counting aloud."
Hailey laughed and turned to Noah. "Why were you counting aloud?"
"When I realized I wasn't going to fall back to sleep, I figured someone else should keep me company. I casted a charm that would allow Will to hear me counting."
Will rolled his eyes as Hailey continued to laugh.
"Since I'm up, how about we sneak down to the kitchens?" suggested Will.
"I'm in," said Noah. He stood up to leave with Will. "You coming, Hails?"
"No, you guys go. I'll talk to you later."
When Noah and Will left, Hailey decided to go to the owlery. As she walked to the owlery, she thought about the letter she was about to write. She finally made her decision and the only thing left was to tell the two men. She thought about telling James in a letter, but it did not feel right. They'd been through so much and a letter would not be able to express how she feels. She would have to tell him the news in person. Once she reached the owlery, she began to write her letter.
James,
How are you? I hope training is going well. I want to see you. I was hoping we could meet during the next Hogsmeade weekend. There are a lot of things I want to say. Mostly I want you to know that I have come to a decision. Please write back if you can meet me.
Love,
Hailey.

Noah and Will were munching on snacks and drinking pumpkin juice in the kitchens.
"We should do this before breakfast everyday," suggested Will.
"You have no idea how much you sound like your father right now."
Will smiled with his mouth full of cauldron cakes.
"Well, I am my father's son."
"I see that."
"Do you know what bugs me?" asked Will.
"No, what?"
"Everyone is so focused on the future. Everyone is making plans."
"We graduate in a couple months, mate. You have to have some idea of what you want to do."
"I don't, but Leah sure does."
"Oh yeah, what does she want to do?"
"She's going to some university in the U.S. to study pre-law."
"What school?"
"Barvard."
"You mean Harvard?"
"Yeah, that's it."
"Mate, that's great."
"Yeah, but she wants to become this big shot lawyer."
"I don't get what the problem is," stated Noah.
"If she becomes a lawyer, than she's going to want to be with a successful suit type guy. That's not me."
"Did she say she that?"
"No, but she keeps hassling me about making a decision and choosing what I want to be."
"Leah just wants you to live up to your potential."
"I don't want to go to the U.S. My family is here. I love it here."
"You're a wizard. In the blink of an eye, you could be in the U.S. The distance shouldn't be that big of a deal."
"Yeah, I guess."
"You should talk to her about this."
"I would if I could get her head out of a book for a second."
"You know maybe you should do something with food," suggested Noah.
"What do you mean?"
"You love food and you're always coming up with some creative twist to add to your mum's recipes."
"Yeah, so."
"So, you could be a chef or look into culinary schools."
"Yeah, I could look into that," said Will excitedly. "I think I'd really enjoy it."
"Exactly."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm actually thinking about becoming a Healer."
"Really? What kind of healer?"
"I'm thinking about going into pediatrics maybe even obstetrics."
"The son of the Great Harry and Hermione Potter, the most influential wizard and witch of our time, is going to be changing diapers for a living."
Noah laughed. "No, I want to be a doctor. I think it be cool to deliver babies and take care of kids."
"Dr. Noah Potter does have a nice ring to it."
"Thanks, mate."
"So you can take care of my kids if they get sick and I'll feed yours."
"Sounds like a good plan to me."
