Chapter 1: The Last days
Lavinia sat in the Gryffindor common room staring at the fire with a cold calm green stare. She couldn't believe this would be her last day here. She looked around as the common began to fill with people a tear left her face. It had been one year since the great battle and the castle was just now starting to feel right. She got up from her seat and walked over to Ginny and smiled as she placed her head on the red haired girls shoulder.
"Promise me you'll write me." Lavinia said smiling at Ginny.
"As long as you promise to, come visit me at the Burrow." Ginny laughed
Lavinia smiled remembering how much she loved going to the Burrow. It was better than being at the Manor. "Oh, course I'll be visiting." Lavinia laughed. "I would rather spend the whole summer there like last year. Your mom is so much cooler than mine." Lavinia wasn't ashamed of her mom; she was ashamed of the job her mom did.
Ginny laughed. Her red hair bobbing up and down reminded Lavinia of all the great times they shared this year. "I bet, I wouldn't wanna stay by the creepy place either." She said.
There was a knock on the door and she and Ginny turned around to see a head bob in. Lavinia looked at Harry and laughed when Ginny threw her arms around him. You could tell he loved her and she loved him. Harry looked at the two girls and smiled. "You two almost ready to go, Ron is downstairs complaining about how long it takes girls to pack and say good bye. You two do realize that you have a train to catch still."
Lavinia looked at Harry and laughed as she grabbed her truck and drug it down the stairs. Harry and Ron had came to get Ginny, they were coming back with them on the train, only because Ginny and her had begged Mrs. Weasley to let the girls take the train but she insisted on having the boys come to help them with their stuff. Lavinia didn't mind, she was like a sister to both the boys. She only had one guy on her mind and she was going to make something happen this summer or her name wasn't Lavinia Jones.
Harry and Ron grabbed the girl's trucks and loaded them on the train while both she and Ginny ran to find their cabin. They sat in the seats closest to the window and waited for the boys. Lavinia looked at Hogwarts and made sure to take a mental picture because she probably would never be here again. She let a tear slip as the train started out of the Hogwarts station and headed to London. She was going home. This summer was going to be different and she began Auror Training in the fall she was going to make this last.
She closed her eyes and just listened to the Weasley's (Ginny and Ron) argue until she fell asleep.
14 years ago…..Lavinia sat in a sandbox just outside the Manor. Her mother hummed as she was picking roses. She turned to Lavinia and smiled "wouldn't these look great on the table inside". Lavinia thought it over then looked at her mother and smiled a toothy smiled of a 5 year old. "Yes, mama they would. The Mrs. would like them, she likes rose's right." Lavinia left the sand box to go help her mother. Lavinia grabbed some roses and placed them into her little basket. Her mother stood up and grabbed Lavinia's hand "Let's go inside and show these to the Mrs."
Lavinia smiled and skipped towards the house. Her mother opens the door with her wand since she was carrying the basket and her daughter's hand. They walk in the house and go into the kitchen, Lavinia smiled at the house elves and they smiled back at her. Mrs. Dolores the main cooking elf was stirring a pot of stew. She looked at Lavinia and smiled then looked at her mother and said "The little master comes home today. You might want to leave Lavinia in here with me while you take those to the Mrs."
Lavinia's mother looked at her and smiled "Lavinia dear would you like to stay her and help Mrs. Dolores." Lavinia nodded
Lavinia was shaken from her dream state; she looked up at Ron's silly face in her. "Ron you're in my breathing room." She looked around it was only her and him in the cabin. "Where's Ginny and Harry?" She asked.
Ron looked at her and smiled. "They went to go get the luggage."
Lavinia stood up and smiled at Ron, then grabbed her purse and walked out of the room, Ron right behind her. They got off the train and looked for Ginny and Harry. She approached them and smiled. "Man, I thought you guys were leaving without saying goodbye."
Ginny looked at Lavinia and smiled. "It's not a goodbye it's more of I'll see you later, because you'll be at the Burrow before you know it."
Harry grinned "Yeah and we'll all be at Auror training in the fall so we'll all be together than."
Lavinia laughed and hugged everyone. "If you guys wanna come visit me I'll be working at a tea shop just down the road from the Manor just drop a owl and I'll make sure to set up the extra bedroom for you." She waved goodbye to her friends and wheeled her truck into the streets of London. She looked for her mom's old beat up car, something to keep appearances, but she didn't see if. 'She must be busy, I'll just apparate.' She wandered down an empty ally next to the train station, and closed her eyes. She pictured the manor and was surrounded by darkness on to see a light towards the end. She opened her eyes and she was at the Manor, or well outside the gates. She pressed the intercom, which she never fully understood why the lady of the house kept it there and waited. "Yes, who is it?" came an women's voice. "It's Lavinia Mrs. Dolores." She shouted and all of a sudden the gate opened and the voice came back threw "Take your stuff to the cottage and then come see me."
Lavinia smiled as she walked up the path that leads to the Manor. Lavinia was home and she knew it. She stared at her mother's little cottage. It was decent for a 4 bedroom, it looked small but there was a benefit to having magic mom would always say as she added bedrooms. She pulled out her wand and muttered a spell unlocking to door. She laughed as streamers and welcome home banner came out of nowhere. She yelled for her mother. There was no reply 'she must up at the Manor' Lavinia thought to herself.
Lavinia threw her truck into her room. It was the same way she left it two years ago since she wasn't home last summer. She jumped onto her bed and smiled as she snuggled into her pillows. She got up and placed her truck into her room and then left the house. She walked up to the big Manor doors just as someone was walking out. "No mother I don't want to be here for this stupid party tonight." He shouted as he just walked past her. Just like normal he never even acknowledged her presence. She walked into the door as Narsissa was walking yelling at her son. "You will be back here tonight." She said then looked at Lavinia and smiled. "Lavinia dear, when did you get home? She asked.
Lavinia smiled at her "Just today, my mom wasn't at the house is she here?" she asked.
Narsissa thought then smiled. "She's in the garden picking some of those rose's that we both love."
Lavinia thanked her and started walking away. Narsissa called after her "Lavinia there's a party tonight if you'd like to come." Lavinia smiled and nodded.
She walked out to the garden and found her mother sitting on the ground cutting the thorns off the roses. "Mom." Lavinia called sitting down next to her.
