Make It Last

Chapter 1: That Goes On Top
"CAMDEN!"
"WHAT?"
"SOMEONE'S AT THE DOOR!"
"OKAY!"
I pulled on my favorite pair of purple skinny jeans and a skin tight black v-neck t-shirt. I pounded down the stairs and ran to the front door of our loft in London. I unlocked the door and pulled it open. Frederick Arthur Weasley || was standing at the door with his cousin James Sirius Potter, both of them being my best friends. I screamed at the top of my lungs pulling them both into a bone-crushing hug.
"Whoa Cami! We have to breath ya know," Fred choked out laughing.
"Hah! Sorry 'bout that!" I laughed. "Follow…"
The two cousins followed me up the stairs to my room and sat on my bed next to me. "I'm almost done packing I just have to find my wand…" I said glancing around the room for the umpteenth time that day.
James who had gotten up said, "Hey Cami? Ever think of checking in these?" He held up a pair of boots which is where I usually keep my wand… Damn that ever smart boy…
He laughed while throwing my 9 ¾ inches, ash, and Dragon heartstring core wand at me. I caught it with ever so ease as my skill as a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Hey, I try not to brag :].
Through the next hour Fred and James helped me pack my clothing into my trunk. I dragged it down the spiral staircase into the kitchen where my dad Oliver Wood and my mom Shane Wood were eating pizza in. I walked over to them leaving my trunk by the front door. "I'm leaving now," I said hugging them both.
"Alright love you," Shane said.
Oliver ruffled my dirty blonde curtain of hair and whispered to me and me only, "Stay out of trouble okay Camden? And no more of those 'incidents' we talked about."
"What 'incidents' Dad?" I looked at him with a fake innocent stare.
His eyes furrowed together and I smiled at him, hugging him again.
"Bye!" I called as Fred, James and I walked out the front door into the hallway outside our apartment. We took the elevator down to the lobby and walked to Diagon Alley where we met Fred's parents who took us all to King's Cross station. This had been a regular thing for us. But this time it was the last time. It was our 7th year this year. We promised to stay together and keep in touch after school, but now I'm thinking that may be a tad hard to do.
Once we got to Platforms 9 ¾, James went off to find his siblings and parents while me and Fred chatted with the other weird awkward amazing people that we hung out with including Abby Spinnet, Ali Longbottom, Lorcan and his twin Lysander Scamander, Connor Thomas, and Kyle and Sophie Finnigan who were also twins.
"Where's James?" Ali asked.
"He went to say bye to his 'rents," I explained and she nodded.
We continued to talk on the benches when James finally showed up. Apparently Ginny had become teary eyed again so he had to stay and calm her down.
The loud and particularly peaceful whistle blew and our large group of friends all sprinted onto the train looking for an open compartment that would fit all 10 of us. We finally found one and I pushed my way into the window seat which I oh-so adored. Fred plopped himself down next to me and Connor sat across from me.
For the rest of the ride we all went through our summers and what we just felt like talking about. Mind you, we NEVER got sappy. Don't worry. ;)
Once we got to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, all the boys got into one carriage and all the girls got into another one.
"It's really weird how we do this," Ali said looking out to the side of the carriage.
"I don't know," I said responding to her. "I do spend a lot of time with them…"
"Oh yeah," Abby joked. "Says the one who complains to us every time freaking time you have your p –"
"Don't even think about finishing that sentence, Abigail!" I interrupted.
Sophie wagged a finger at Abby mockingly which earned her a smack on the head from Abby. She laughed batting her friends hand away.
I sighed; glad to be back with my best friends again; back in the place where I belong.
Once we got to Hogwarts our large group stomped into the Great Hall to the end of the Gryffindor table, while Lorcan and Lysander went to Ravenclaw table.
"Bye Lysan!" Ali called out to her boyfriend who waved back.
"Aww true love! Don't ya think Soph?" I laughed gesturing at Lysander and Ali.
"Yup!" Sophie agreed laughing.
After the Sorting hat did its thaaaaaaaaang we all chewed our food and chatted again.
"So Jamesie, how's you and that little 7th year who's sitting about 6 meters away from us working out?" I asked calmly.
"Perfectly," he said sarcastically.
"Awww was little Miss Jasmine Court not all she was spiked up to be?" Connor joked.
"Shut up you wanker."
"Tosser."
"That's the same thing!"
"So is your face."
"That makes no sense whatsoever!"
"So does your face."
"Alright enough with the pointless banter boys! It's getting on my nerves," Abby complained.
Connor stuck his tongue out at her maturely.
"Oh Connor. How much more mature can you get?" I said dreamily.
"Speak for yourself!" he yelled pointing his menacing finger at me.
"Don't mention it ever again," I ordered taking a bite of a baby carrot stick.
"Mention what my dearest?" he blinked innocently at me.
I flipped him off causing both of us to laugh so loudly that the whole of Gryffindor was staring at us. "Shove off you wankers!" Sophie yelled at them. They all stared back until all ten of us just got up and left. James slung his arm around me.
"Um is there any reason for you to raise the awkwardness you can already feel in the air?" I questioned James, not at all unhappy about what he did.
"Nope. Just a reflex I guess," he explained.
Fred smirked from the other side of me. "Oh yeah, you tosspot. From all those previous girlfriends you had."
Sophie burst out laughing and Fred winked at her. I leaned my head on James' shoulder as we made our way past the moving staircases that I almost die on every time and into the Gryffindor common room. Sophie and Abby went up to our dorm to discuss something peculiar that I did not want to know about, while Ali and I stayed with the boys in the Common room. After a long time of chatting and what not, I said, "Well I better 'hit the hay' as those Muggles say," and waved good-bye to everyone. Ali followed suit and we made our way towards the staircase.
"Hey Cami!" Kyle called.
"Yes?" I called back.
"What you just said rhymed!"
"Good job Kyle! You just graduated Kindergarten!"
"Shut up you wanker."
"Oh yeah. I'm the wanker." That got me a pillow smashed in my ear. Ali and I walked up the staircase waving good-bye again.
This is going to be one hell of a year.
So uhm like review? Maybe? Please? Tell me if you think it's to rushed or like just plain old bad or if Camden's like a Mary-Sue! :D
