Rose sat in the compartment with her younger cousins, Lily, Lucy, and Roxanne. Lily was drawing in her drawing pad. Roxanne and Lucy were talking about what they were going to do with the summer. Everyone knew that Roxanne was going to work at her dad's shop. Lucy didn't know what she was going to do. Lily would say something occasionally.

Rose couldn't think about the summer because her mind was back at school with the boy who told her that he was in love with her. He was one of her best friends. He was Scorpius Malfoy. She didn't know what to say so she got in the first carriage and went to the train. She would normally sit with him and their friends but she couldn't see him. So she jumped in with her cousins. She pulled out a book and tried to read to it, but it only laid open on her lap.

"Rose, what do you have planned for the summer?" Roxanne asked.

Rose looked around to see that they were all looking at her. "I don't know but Mum said she had a surprise for Hugo and me." They smiled at me.

"That is awesome." Lucy said. Rose nodded. The rest of the train ride they talked about what Rose's mum was going to do with Rose. They got to London and found their parents together, talking. Hugo was already there. When they saw Rose, Mum and Dad hugged her before they left the station.

When they got home, Mum told them to put our trunks away and to meet her in the sitting room. Rose was the last one down because Hugo was talking to Dad. Mum had a smile on her face like she was up to something. The last time Rose saw that smile Hugo and her had to go to one of their mum's work party. Rose took a seat on the couch and waited for her mum to say what she wanted to say.

"Rose, Hugo. The day after tomorrow you are going to be on a plane to Melbourne." Mum told them.

"Where?" Rose asked.

"Melbourne, Australia," Mum looked at Rose like there would be no room for auguring. Rose sighed.

"Why?" Rose asked instead of fighting with her.

"To visit your grandparents. They want to see you and they are getting older. It is harder for them to come to visit. You and Hugo will go now and spend the summer. Your father and I will come the last week before you leave." Rose nodded. There was no way of getting out of this. Rose got up and went to her room to start packing before they went to the Burrow for dinner.

Lucy's flat…

Lucy walked in the flat ahead of her parents. She didn't see her sister anywhere but why would she, her sister didn't live here anymore. She was headed for her room when her mum said. "Lucy, your father and I would like to talk to you." She drop off her trunk before going back to the kitchen where her parents were. Lucy took a seat at the table and pour herself some tea. "Lucy, your father and I are going to be in and out of the country for most of the summer, so you are going to stay with your Aunt Mariah and Uncle Tim."

"Don't Aunt Mariah and Uncle Tim live in New York?" Lucy asked. Mum smiled.

"Yes, we think you should spend more time with them."

"Can't I stay with Molly and Dom or Grandmum and Granddad Weasley or Grandmum Hanks?"

"Nope they have plans for the summer." Lucy frowned. It didn't sound like my grandparents.

"What about Molly?" Lucy asked.

Dad frowned. "Molly and her boyfriend are taking a trip together." It sounded like Dad didn't like it one bit.

"There is no one else I can stay with?" Lucy was trying to get out of going to New York. Mum shook her head. She sighed. Lucy was going to America for the summer. Great what was she going to do there? "When do I leave?"

"The day after tomorrow, you will take a portkey." Lucy got up.

"I guess I have to go and pack before we leave for the Burrow." Lucy left the kitchen.

Lily's house…

Lily was lying on the bed doing some drawing when there was a knock on my door. "Come in," She yelled at the door. Mum and Dad came in. Lily sat up and they came and sat next to me.

"Lily, how would you feel about going to Rome for the summer?" Dad asked.

"I would love to go," She hugged them both. "When do I leave?"

"Two days from now." Mum said. "You'll will stay with a friend of ours. They will help you with anything you need."

"Thank you," Lily jumped off her bed and started to dance around. Her parents laughed. "I can't wait to tell the others." Lily started for the door so we could go to the Burrow. Her parents followed her out of her room.

The Burrow…

Roxanne was the first to get there. They just dropped off her trunk before coming. Dad was already joking about Roxanne working at the shop tomorrow. Roxanne rolled her eyes at him. Maybe she could talk Lucy into working with her. Grandmum roped her in to carrying trays of food outside. It was were Lucy found her. Roxanne saw the look on her face and saw that Lucy wasn't happy about something. Her parents must have told her something when they went home because Lucy was happy about this upcoming summer.

Roxanne placed the food on the table before asking. "What is wrong, Lucy?"

Lucy threw her parents a look before answering Roxanne. "I have to go to the States for the summer."

"What?" Roxanne shouted. Both sets of parents looked at them. The girls smiled at them.

"Yeah, my parents are going to be out of the country for most of the summer, so I have to see my aunt and uncle along with my cousins."

"Can't you stay with one of us?" Roxanne and Lucy made their way to their favorite spot. Lucy shook her head. "That sucks," Lucy was going to say something when they saw Rose make her way over to them. She didn't look happy. Lucy and Roxanne traded a look, Rose mustn't have liked her mum surprise.

Lucy smiled. "So, you didn't like what your mum surprise." Rose threw her a look.

"No, Hugo and I have to go to Melbourne to visit our grandparents." Rose mumbled.

"You're not the only one," Roxanne pointed to Lucy. Rose looked at Lucy.

"Where are you going?" Rose asked.

"New York to visit my aunt and uncle," Lucy give a small smile. Roxanne watched her cousins. They were both going away for the summer and she was staying here in England. At least she still had Lily. Lily didn't have any family that lived outside of England. They could do things and tell Lucy and Roxanne about how much fun they were having. Roxanne sighed as she heard her cousins. Roxanne glanced over to see Lily bouncing over. Lily was happy about something.

"Hey, guess what?" Lily said when she got to them.

"What?" Rose asked.

"I'm going to Rome for the summer," Lily actually looked happy about going. Roxanne sighed as Lucy and Rose told her where they were going for the summer. All of them were going to another country while she was stuck here in England. She was happy for them but she wanted to go somewhere. "We should write to each other and tell the other something interesting that happen to you." Roxanne heard Lily say. She looked at her cousins.

"That should be fun for you guys," Roxanne said. The way Roxanne said had all of them looking at her.

"You too Roxanne." Lily said. "It could be fun here by yourself."

"Yeah, working in the shop all summer." Roxanne said.

"You can see all the cute boys that come in the shop," Lucy winked at her. Roxanne laughed.

"You guys can see the cute boys around the world." Roxanne laughed.

They laughed. "No matter how my mum told and I have to go, part of me is glad because I can get away from the boys here." Rose wasn't looking at them. They looked where she was looking and saw Scorpius Malfoy. He was Rose's and Al's best friend.

"What is wrong with Scorpius?" Lucy asked.

"Nothing," Rose took a pause and they waited for her to say something more. Rose wanted to leave it there but they just kept staring at her. She sighed. "It just he told me he loves me before we came home."

"What's wrong with that?" Lily asked.

"Nothing, I just ran away not saying anything. If I'm gone for the summer I can figure out my feelings for him."

"You can't run away from him forever," Lucy said.

"I know. Just give me two months," Rose threw them a look and they knew it was time to stop talking about.

"Dinner," They heard their grandmum yell.

"Remember to write and about something interesting," Lily said. They nodded before heading for the table.

Soon Rose, Lucy, and Lily were gone and Roxanne working in the shop…
