I woke up in my huge, warm bed cursing the clicking noise on my window. I got up and saw a grey owl, that I knew to be Theodore Nott's, flying outside. I walked over to the window and the owl flew in. I untied the letter from its leg and the owl flew off. I opened the letter and saw a note in Theo's handwriting.

Astoria,

Thank you for all of your help. I really do appreciate it. I'm sorry that I caused so much strife between you and Daphne. However, everything should be worked out now and she should let you move back because we're GETTING MARRIED! I'm so happy! Thanks again for your help and I really am sorry that you had to move out on my account. But thanks for keeping it a secret for me. You're the best!

Your future-brother-in-law,

Theo

I read the note over and I was happy that the two of them were able to work things out for Theo's sake. I wondered if Daphne would let me know or if she would ask if I wanted to move back. Not that I would. I was kind of enjoying living at the Bletchley's. I had a nice room, nice company, and well Draco was around a lot. Plus, I didn't want to go through the hassle of moving again. I was going to be a permanent resident, at least for the time being, at the Bletchley's.


The week went by quite uneventfully with no word from Daphne. Draco had only made one appearance at the manor this week and the guys had been pretty busy and did not have the time to torment me.

Today, was my first day of training as a healer and I was really looking forward to it. I apparated to St. Mungos and was excited to finally have something to do during the day when everyone else was at work. I walked to the room where I was supposed to meet with all the new healers-in-training. When I got to the room I saw about 10 people, most of them I recognized from school. Although I couldn't put a name with any of them. I took the last open seat next to a tall girl with shiny raven straight hair, olive skin, and hazel eyes. She was quite beautiful despite her rather large nose.

"Hello." She said. "You were a Slytherin weren't you?"

I nodded.

"I'm Lorraine Quinn. I was a Ravenclaw." She said.

"Astoria Greengrass." I said. "Nice to meet you."

"I'm actually quite nervous." Lorraine said.

I nodded. "Me too. I'm not all too sure why."

"It's good to know that someone else feels the same way."

"I know." I said and was interrupted by a woman walking into the room.

"Good morning. I'm Susan Macmillan. It's nice to see you all here." The woman said. She continued on for a while and explained what the day was going to involve and had us introduce ourselves to each other and what not. We then took a tour of the hospital and she explained what our 3 week course was going to entail.

I spent most of the day talking to Lorraine and we really hit it off. It had been a long time since I had a girl my age to talk to that wasn't my annoying idiotic sister or Corrine who talked about Graham all the time.

After my training was over, I headed to the Leakey Cauldron to get something to eat. I took a seat and waited for Hannah Longbottom, the Landlady, to come and take my order. As I picked up my menu I saw my sister and Pansy Parkinson taking a seat. Daphne had a huge smile on her face and I knew she had just told Pansy her good news. I watched Pansy force a smile then just break down into tears. I found this rather odd, but I couldn't bring myself to actually be concerned as to what had brought this sudden emotion upon her. I just hoped that neither of them would see me. Once I had gotten my food, I ate quickly and managed to successfully escape without getting caught.


I walked into Bletchly Manor, and saw all the guys sitting around the living room chatting. I then noticed that Theodore Nott was among them.

"Hey Sis!" Theo said getting up.

I smiled as he walked over to me. "Congrats, brother!" I said hugging him.

"I came over to see you. I wanted to make sure you got my owl this morning." He said.

"Sorry. I didn't have time to respond." I said. "But I'm so excited you're going to a part of my family!"

"Well, I better be off. I just wanted to see you before I took Daphne out tonight." He then turned back to the guys. "I'll see you guys later."

"Give our congrats to the fiancé!" Carl Warrington said.

"Will do."

A chorus of congrats was yelled from Adrian, Miles and Graham as Theo appareated away.

"So how do you feel about Daphne getting married?" Adrian asked me.

I shrugged. "Well, we all know my relationship with Daphne, but I adore Theo. So I'm happy."

"Won't he be like the first person in your family you like?" Graham asked.

I nodded. "Pretty much. It's gonna be weird. At least I won't completely dread any sort of family get-togethers now." I said taking a seat in the chair that Theo had been sitting in.

"Well, that's good." Miles said. "How was training?"

"Really good. I'm looking forward to the rest of it." I said.

"That's great." He said. "I'm really happy for you."

"Thanks, Miles." I smiled.

"So with Daphne and Theo obviously working things out, does that mean you're leaving?"

"Well, she hasn't asked me to move back, but if you and Corinne wouldn't mind, I'd like to stay." I said.

"Of course we wouldn't mind!" He said grinning.

I noticed Adrian roll his eyes at this last comment.

"What was that look?" I asked him.

He just laughed. "Nothing." He said and he looked at Carl and Graham who stifled their laughter. Miles glared at them and Adrian quickly said "Just wondered if we got a say in this."

"No. It's my house." Miles said.

"Damn it." Carl said. "I wont get her big room then."

"Shut up, Carl." Miles said.

Just then we heard a loud bang come from the entry hall.

"Corinne? Is that you?" Graham yelled.

"No." A familiar male voice answered and Draco Malfoy walked into the room soaking wet.

"Is it raining?" Miles asked as Draco dried himself off.

"Obviously." Draco said shortly.

"What's with you, Draco?" Carl asked.

He took a deep breath and then said. "Pansy just told me that she never wanted me to be within a hundred miles of her and that if I even tried to see her she was going to set her father on me." He said.

"So did you guys break up?" Adrian asked.

Draco nodded. "So you mind if I stay here the night? I'm not ready to break the news to my parents yet."

"Of course" Miles said. "You ok?"

He smiled, a very fake smile. "Of course."

Explains Pansy's tears. This might be the greatest day of my life.
