Early May 2026 Lusie could hardly believe that they were nearing the end of the term. Her last term at Hogwarts. Usually she never minded the summers because she knew that they would bring another year of learning in the castle when they ended. But when she went home at the end of this year she would just be done. Not to mention, it was time for them to decide on their after-Hogwarts plans. They needed to report their decisions to their heads of house so they could arrange their internships, and Princess Lusie had an impossible time deciding. For the last few years she had gone back and forth between which of her two worlds she wanted to commit to. As a muggle princess she did have certain obligations to the muggle world that she could never fully separate herself from. But as a witch she’d never be able to turn off the magic inside her either.
Her two most promising options were either to attend Oxford at the recommendation of her Grandmother the Queen, or, to train to be a healer at St. Mungo’s Hospital. At University Lusie would learn how to work in public affairs and perhaps go into politics herself in some form. Her language skills would be put quite to use in that path. But as a Healer she’d be getting to use her Herbology and Potion skills. She’d get to help people in a more direct way, and she'd get to stay closer to the people she loved here in this world. She turned in her decision to begin an internship as a Trainee Healer and felt a great weight lift off her shoulders having finally made her decision.
After she left her head of house’s office, she decided to take a walk on the grounds. The weather was finally turning around and the sun was out. She reckoned she’d find her boyfriend out here somewhere. She was excited to hear what he had decided after making her own decision. They had discussed it, of course, but she knew he was as torn as she was. Though they did have one path in common.

Today was one of the most important days in any seventh year witch or wizards life. The day they were expected to make their choice of future career path after graduation. Toby had been dreading the day for weeks because he couldn’t quite make up his mind. There were many circumstances that were floating around in his head, so many choices that would effect his future life, career, life with Lusie. It freaked him out. Toby made his decision and felt like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders after he walked out of the Raveclaw HOH office.
His choice had been made up and he couldn’t help but wonder what Lusie chose. Regardless, he would be supportive of her choice, but there was a part of him that hoped she would stay in the magical world with him. He knew her family probably hoped she would go the political route but Toby couldn’t help but be selfish.
Since the weather was nice out, Toby decided he’d wait by the lake until Lusie got out of her career meeting. This would be the first time they saw each other since making both of their final decisions. It didn’t take long until Toby noticed her small frame and head of hair from afar. Toby pushed himself off the bench and started for his girlfriend, ”Lus!” he called out happily in hopes to get her attention. Tobys long legs quickened his gait and closed the distance between them. Toby pressed a kiss to her temple. ”How did your meeting go?” he asked her quickly, feigning nonchalance as he pulled her into his arms for a loving embrace. Toby was nervous to hear her decision but he was ready.

She was right, Toby would be out here enjoying the warmer weather. He found her pretty quickly and gave her a kiss on the head in greeting while he asked how her meeting went. She looked up at him while he wrapped his arms around her and smirked. “I have decided to enter into Healer training.” she reported, proudly. Her hope was that he had decided the same. If he did, she was sure that they would get to see each other often, maybe it would be just like it was here, where they were training and learning together, at least they would be in the same cohort. “How was yours?” she asked, raising her eyebrow in curiosity.

As Lusie shared her decision, the smirk she made was a clear indicator what choice she made. When she confirmed that she chose to train in Healing he felt his heart soar out of his chest. Hearing the words come from her mouth and her seem proud of it made him feel better. Toby didn't want to influence her choice if she wished to go the more political route, either way he would have happily supported her but now it would be easier. Toby's face brightened, "Yes!!" he exclaimed in a nerd fueled excitement and he hopped in the air, unable to hide his excitement. "Same, I also chose to train in Healing." he said quickly with a happy laugh, swinging her into his arms for a hug. As they pulled away his eyes met hers, "Wow. Everything is starting to feel real now." Toby said, suddenly feeling nervousness and excitement for the near future.

Lusie couldn’t believe what she was hearing when he admitted that he had chosen to train as a healer too. They would be working together! In the same field! He hugged her and she giggled again at his excitement, wrapping her arms strongly around him. She felt on top of the world and he definitely shared her sentiment with his own comment that everything was starting to feel real now. She nodded, “it really is… before we know it we’ll be moving out of the castle for good… it’s kind of strange.” Of course she had a home outside of Hogwarts. Several in fact. But she mostly viewed those as vacation homes. Just a place to go when term was out. She couldn’t see herself living at the palace or even the family flat full time. She’d never get any work done with everyone coming and going. “it’s kind of overwhelming how much we have to figure out in such a short period of time.” she added.

Toby released her from the embrace, smiling down happily at Lusie. He was happy that the hardest part was over, now they could start moving forward with their seventh year and look forward to graduation. As excited as Toby was to be finished with school, he was starting to feel nervous about leaving the castle, and being out in the real world. The thought of not seeing Lusie and his friends every day also made him sad. "Have you put any thought into your living situation?" he asked curiously, already feeling awkward how he worded it. That was worded like an interview. Toby scratched the back of his neck, "Would you be moving back into the castle with family, or perhaps roommates?" he asked. Toby was curious if she thought about it. The closer graduation got, he started to thinking more and more about the bigger picture. Now that he was thinking about it, his ideal living situation would be with Lusie. That sounded like a dream come true.

He always seemed to know exactly what was on her mind. It was comforting. With Edmund gone, lusie was sure that Toby knew her better than any other person in the world. Her sister and Penelope were close in second. In a lot of ways Toby had replaced Ed in her life in a lot of ways. She was growing rather dependent on him. Sometimes thinking about it that way made her sad. But then she reminded herself that Toby was perhaps the only person Ed would have trusted enough to care for Lusie in the event that something happened to him. Of course, Will and Sybil would look out for her for life, but with them being so much older than she, there was certainly a disconnect.
“I wouldn’t go to the palace.” she shook her head. “I could move into the apartment full time, but I’m not sure how quiet that’ll be with Will and Sybil also living out of there.” and Andy, part time, she reminded herself mentally. “Perhaps roommates…” she nodded. When she thought of who she would like to live with, very few people came to mind. Penelope Bainbidge had been one of her best friends since she started at Hogwarts, she’d certainly be a good candidate. But then there was Toby, and things were certainly well enough with him that Lusie wouldn’t mind having him so close by. “Have you thought about it much?” she asked, trying not to sound awkward as she tried to push the thought back into her head.

Toby listened as Lusie explained that she had no desire to move back into the castle, and she was unsure about the shared flat with her siblings. His head bobbed into an understanding nod. "Hey, I could understand that. You want your independence and freedom." he told her soft smile. The last thing Lusie wanted was royal guards following her around or her siblings knowing every move she was making after graduation, even if they had a strong relationship. Lusie asked him if he had put thought into his living arrangements and nodded, feigning a more nonchalant shrug, "Yeah, I've thought about flatmates but I don't think I would want one, I'd almost rather live alone than live with a stranger, or potentially suddenly become annoyed every day by someone I once considered a friend." he said honestly with a dark chuckle. Toby knew he liked his privacy and things a particular way, he quite enjoyed playing video games and being alone. After living in the boys dorms at Hogwarts for seven years, he was ready for his own living quarters. Toby turned to Lusie thoughtfully with a hesitant smile at first, but he grew when he met her gaze. He decided to say what was on his mind as his smile grew, "I reckon it would be wicked to live with you, actually." he said as his face flushed slightly awkwardly. Toby wasn't sure what the timeline was for couples to move in...but he had a feeling like he and Lusie had a decent track record thus far considering the only thing they ever fought about was who loved the other person more.

Lusie couldn’t imagine that Toby really wanted to go and live at home either with his parents and sister. He explained that he didn’t really want to live with strangers or come to hate his friends and she nodded. Living with people was tough, especially without having the bond of family. And then he jumped the gun and suggested it would be cool to live with her. She felt a little cheated since she had just tried to tell herself that it was a silly idea and here he was actually talking about it. “I was thinking the same… actually… I just wasn’t sure you would be interested in… living together.” saying it like that made it sound so real. Living together. She and her boyfriend would be living together. It felt very grown up. She almost couldn’t believe she was at the stage of her life where she would be making these kinds of decisions. “But I think I’d like to… if you do.” she agreed with a smirk. Making this decision almost felt like a confirmation that they were really as solid as she felt like they were. It was almost romantic.

It seemed like Lusie had been thinking of the same idea, which was reassuring. "Wow...of course I would want to live with you. You're literally my favorite person on the planet, I couldn't think of a better living situation to be quite honest." he beamed, unable to stop the smile from spreading across his face. The thought of living with Lusie in their own flat sounded like a dream come true.. lazy mornings in bed, studying healing together, not having to worry about anyone but themselves. Maybe they'd get a cat or dog if they fancied. The future they were starting to make together already sounded amazing. He didn't feel like moving in together was rushing anything considering they had been together for over a year and they were friends longer before that. "Lets do it!" he told her happily, throwing his arms around her into a hug. "Do you think your family will support this decision?" he asked curiously, unsure how they'd feel. Teenage love and passion. Toby knew his parents would be supportive considering their history together, but he knew the circumstances would be slightly different for the royal family.

Lusie giggled when he admitted that of course he would want to live with her and stated that she was his favorite person on the planet. She had to admit she felt the exact same way about him and she was sure that he knew that. She wasn’t sure she would have gotten through the last year without him. “Let’s do it.” she agreed with her own big smile, confirming his enthusiasm. He asked about what her family would think about it and she shrugged. She hadn’t ever thought about what her family would think about her living with a boy because she really never thought it would happen, at least not this young. “I think they’d be fine with it… Will might be a little awkward about the idea, but…” she was going to say that she wasn’t sure how much she would care about what Will thought, but she stopped herself for the sake of family prosperity. “I’m sure Sybill would be thrilled, she likes you. As does mum.” and Edmund would probably have accepted it too, especially by now. “Maybe we can look after graduation at some flats in London? Maybe near the hospital?” Lusie was well set up financially, and she was sure Toby understood that; but it didn’t mean she wanted a place as extravagant as the ones her family owned.

It was surreal to think that they were discussing such serious matters for the upcoming future. Everything felt more real each day graduation got closer. Toby wasn’t worried about leaving Hogwarts anymore, he was ready to become a real person in the working world and start his life. Especially since it meant Lusie will be close. Lusie mentioned that it would be awkward to inform her family at first but she was confident they’d take the news well. That was reassuring. Toby got along well with her family despite finding most of the social gatherings nerve wrecking. He smiled down at her, ”They’ll warm up to the idea with some time..” Toby agreed with a nod. They weren’t going the traditional route, that was for certain. It was a timeline that worked for them, it sounded like a dream with how well things were aligning together. Toby suddenly felt a thrill for the near future. ”That sounds like a good plan to me. I haven't got a clue on how to start looking into these things.” he admitted with a nervous laugh but he was smiling, "This is exciting.” Toby bubbled with excitement while giving Lusie a squeeze, he took her hand and laced his fingers with hers. "We're gonna have a place of our own, this sounds like a dream come true. I'm so in love with you Lusie Windsor, I just, need to squeeze you." he exclaimed to her with a nerd fueled excitement, happily swinging her into his arms to squeeze and playfully shake her small body with love, kissing her again because he couldn't contain his joy.

Lusie gave another laugh when he admitted that he had no idea how to look for things like that. She had to admit, she didn’t either, but there had to be someone on staff at the palace that would know how to shop for an apartment in the city. She was sure someone could at least point her in the right direction. People did it all the time, she was sure it would be simple once she started looking. Lusie couldn’t help but smile, though. She was sure that she had a dumb grin on her face since Toby admitted that he had chosen to be a healer also. This year had been hard, nearly impossible at times, but what never failed to make her smile was the comfort of being with Toby. She never wanted to let that go. “We’ll figure it out.” she said easily with a nod. He squeezed her hand and then took her into his arms and squeezed her as well and she laughed as he did. She could hardly imagine a better feeling. This whole exchange had made her feel on top of the world. “I love you too Toby, this is going to be perfect!” she agreed before returning his kiss.
