Here's Your Letter – Blink 182

Dear Everyone,

Well my first week at Hogwarts is done, and just writing a little update for everyone. I think it's obvious at this point that I made it safe and sound. I had a bit of trouble trying to find the train station at first, but I met two of my best friends and they helped me get to the station on time. Their names are George and Fred Weasley, they're twins, and they're jokers. They're always making me laugh. And there's Angelina, great girl, been friends with The Twins since she started here at Hogwarts, we're roommates, and becoming fast friends.

I'm in the Gryffindor House, just like Dad and Uncle Remus were, its cool, I'm with Angelina, George, Fred, Lee Jordan, and Alicia Spinnet (my friends) all the time, we have almost all the same classes together, so the transition is a lot easier having such good friends right off the bat. We're spit up into houses, and have a dormitory, and a common room, and the houses compete for points, and play Quidditch against each other, I can't wait to see how well everyone plays, the twins are on the team, they're beaters, and really good apparently, so it's something too look forward too. There are also ghosts wandering around the school, there's Peeves the prankster ghost who is off his rocker messing with everyone, and The Bloody Barron, who is the Slytherin ghost, he's kind of creepy and doesn't say much, and then there's Sir Nicholas, he is "Nearly Headless," and very nice, and helpful always ready to lend out his advice to us when we need it.

Oh! And everyone LOVES Pupcake, they think she's the cutest thing, and she LOVES the attention she's getting. The younger ones especially love taking her for walks, and playing with her when I have class. Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil especially, they are two girls 2 years younger, very sweet. They thought I was like a celebrity or when they first met me, I was extremely flattered at first, now it's really bloody annoying. They hang on my EVERY word, it's driving me nuts, and always talking Pupcake out like it's their dog not mine.

Uncle Remus is a great teacher; I don't know why he didn't do this before, even with his "condition." It's only been two classes, and everyone agrees that his teaching methods are great, a lot of hands on stuff, better than just sitting in desks taking notes, we actually get to try out a lot of the defensive spells we learn for our exams at the end of the year called and O.W.L. exam, they're a big deal around here I guess like the SATs.

My other classes have been going great as well. Care of Magical Creatures is interesting; the Groundskeeper Hagrid teaches how to care for the local inhabitants of The Forbidden Forest, and some of the ones that we have to know about for our O.W.L. tests he's a bit goofy and tries really hard to impress us. My Divination Professor is one whacked out lady, we're interpreting dreams right now, kind of boring, she's like one of those granola hippies straight off the commune, always walking around predicting stuff about students, but its an easy class, and if you make it up and sound convincing its an easy A. Transfiguration is going to be fun learning about vanishing spells, and really just a review of stuff we already know, and a few more complex spells, same with Charms, and Astronomy is just the same as it is at home. These O.W.L. tests seem like a pretty big deal but I am confident I'll do just fine.

But not everything has been perfect this week, The Ministry of Magic has placed these creatures called Dementors to wonder the outskirts of the school just incase Dad decides to show up, Professor Dumbledore and Uncle Remus have both voiced their opinions on their dislike for these things. They suck the soul right out of your body you provoke them or you are the one they are after, I had a little scare on the train from one, so I try to stay as far away from them. It was nothing too serious, just passed out from fear I guess, Harry Potter did as well. He's a nice kid though, little quiet just trying to get through this place without the attention he always gets, feel kind of bad for him, he just wants to be normal like everyone else. Harry is friends with Fred and George's younger brother Ron, they got a lot of similarities, red hair, freckles, tall, and mischievous personalities.

My Potions class seems to be causing a few problems too, apparently the professor, Professor Snape, knew dad when they were in school together and they didn't get along too well, so he feels that he can take out his hostility towards me, but I have been showing him with my impressive potion skills (Thanks to Tommy, making me do those extra credit assignments all year last year paid off BIG time) shuts him up.

I also made an enemy of sorts, a Slytherin snob named Pricilla Noel, the pureblood stuff is really strong here, insulted me the first day, saying how 'disappointed' Grandmamma Black would be if she was alive that I was a Gryffindor half-blood. Fred and George got her good though, sprayed her with an Aguamenti spell, soaked her to the bone, it was amazing. But it doesn't stop her from whispering about me behind my back, and pointing at me at all. She thinks its bothering me, but I am being Zen and brushing it off, cause she's gonna get hers, Karma is a great thing.

Well that's pretty much all that's been happening, only the first week of classes, I like it here a lot, everyone's been really great, so no need to worry about me! All is well here on this end; hope you all are having a great time at school and at home. I miss you all, and don't have too much fun without me!

Lots of Love from England,

Leia

PS: When Rajah Gets there remember to feed him while he's with you, AND WRITE BACK!

PPS: YOU BETTER BE RECORDING MY SHOWS!

"There we go, all done" Said Leia around 11:30, putting her just finished letter in an envelope and addressing it to her Aunt Kitty and Uncle Mike over in New York. "Hey George, wanna go to the Owlery with me?" She asked looking across at George who was munching on a bagel reading the Saturday edition of The Daily Profit not really paying attention. "Hello, Earth to George?" She said a little louder, waving her hand in front of his face until he snapped out of his daze.

"Oh, sorry first Quidditch practice was murder this morning, I'm a bit knackered" he said putting the paper down. "So what was it that you wanted love?"

"Wanna show me where the Owlery is?" She asked. "I got a letter to mail my Aunt and Uncle" Leia held up the letter and waved it around a bit. "But if you're too tired, I'll ask Hermione or someone to take me, don't worry bout it."

"No, I would love to escort you to the Owlery, no problem at all. Just got to finish my bagel and we'll be off."

George finished his bagel, washing it down with some pumpkin juice, and they left the great hall to the Owlery, after about 5 minutes of silence other than saying hello to fellow classmates wondering the halls and staircases George finally spoke.

"So you having tea today with Professor Lupin?" He asked as they walked up the stairs.

"Yup, one o' clock" she said as they leaped over the invisible step. "Should be nice, we can catch up a bit ya know?"

"Yeah, I know what I'm gonna catch up on when you go, take a left here," He said matter of factly, and she raised her eyebrows at him. "A little sleep and rest that's what." They both softly laughed.

"Yeah, you look like you need it, are all Oliver's practices that intense?" She asked as they ascended another flight of stairs.

"Yes and no, he usually pushes hard before big games like against Slytherin, but he is so determined this year to pull off the win for Gryffindor this year, he'll run us all into the ground before the first match."

"That sounds horrible George, I don't know how you are going to survive it" Leia said sympathetically.

"It's ok, I'm a trooper, once we get into a rhythm, and I get used to physical labor again, it'll get better. 'Nother left" He pointed to another hallway and another flight of stairs. "So don't worry your pretty little head about it, Oliver's tough, but it'll be worth it when we win the cup."

The rest of the walk up was silent, except for George's instructions, and Leia started whistling "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" by The Temptations. George had no clue who they were. Leaving Leia inclined to explain who The Temptations were as they reached the top.

"Wow" Leia whispered as she looked out over the ledge to the Forbidden Forest, the lake, and the rest of the school under the warm glow from the last days of summer sun. "This is beautiful, like really," As a flock of birds flew around the Lake up over the forest below.

"Yeah, we gotta enjoy these days while they last, because winter is brutal here," He said coming up next to her. "So where's that letter of yours?" She took it out of her shirt's front pouch pocket, and smiled. George took her hand and led her into the Owlery itself. There were a few dozen owls sitting on their perches hooting softly, and well doing what owls do. Rajah squawked loudly when he saw Leia's face and flapped his wings happy to see her.

"There's my pretty boy, did you miss mama? Yes you did!" Leia sweet talked Rajah and pet him causing him to squawk louder. Watching Leia baby-talk her owl made George laugh out loud, and she shot him a playfully annoyed look. "And what are you laughing at Mr.?"

"I-I've just never heard anyone baby-talk an owl before, I think it's cute." He said putting an arm around her, his laughter tapered off, and she softly elbowed him in the ribs.

"Jerk" Leia smiled and winked at him. "So how do I do this, get him to mail my letter."

"Well, you give it too him, tell him where you want him to go and he'll go there, and a few days he'll just come back, or bring back a letter with him" George explained.

"Ok Raj, you're going to mail this to Aunt Kitty and Uncle Mike in Point Park New York, you know where that is?" She asked holding out the letter, Rajah gladly took it hooting like he understood, and flew off. Arm and arm they both went back to the ledge to watch Rajah fly into the horizon.

"So what did you write home about?" George asked.

"Oh, you know normal stuff, the school, classes… Pricilla, happenings I've seen." Leia replied airily leaning her elbows on the ledge.

"How bout me?" he asked following her suit.

"Course you're in there! Couldn't leave out one of my best friends, you've saved my ass so many times this week, just telling me where our classes are, and tips about our professors. I have NO clue what I would do without you around." She said. "Hell, I never would have even made it here if you didn't see me at the train station!"

"Oh, I'm sure someone else would have done just a good a job," He laughed, trying to cover up a slight blush. He didn't realize she felt so highly of him.

"You know what?" She asked as he made a slight humming nose showing he was paying attention, "I don't think so, everyone else I've met here has been great and understanding and helpful, but you've gone that extra mile and I really appreciate it," He blushed again.

"Your welcome Leia, I'm just happy to help" as he put his arm around her again, and she hugged him back and neither of them said anything as they watched the Ravenclaw Quidditch team have their turn on the pitch. After a few minutes of silence George finally spoke. "So what do you miss most about home?" He heard Leia sigh next to him as she put all her weight on her right elbow next to him, and let her left arm hang off the ledge deep thought, when she finally spoke.

"I know it sounds strange, sure I miss my family, and friends and whatnot, but I really miss being connected to the rest of the world, like we had movie theaters, and concerts, and could use computers and phones. Here I just feel so cut off, I have no clue what's goin' on at home, and it's just a weird feeling. I mean I'm slowly getting used to it, but it's been tough." She said. "How bout you, what do you miss about being home?" George had to think about it himself, as he watched the Ravenclaws run around the lake.

"To be honest, this is my home more than The Burrow," Leia looked at him quizzically. "I miss Mum and Dad sure, but coming from the big family that I do, and then coming here, there isn't anything really to miss, I miss this place during vacations more than home," He started. "And the wizarding world has been all I've ever known, your muggle world of electrophonics, and technology, and culture I guess… is kind of foreign to me."

"Oh come on George!" Leia said. "Ya gotta miss something about home!" He thought a bit harder furrowing his brows and finally came up with something.

"Well, me n Fred do enjoy playing small pranks on the Muggles in Ottery St, Catchpole, the little village by our house" A few more minutes of silence, and George spoke again. "Oh! Pickup games of Quidditch, without Oliver killing me with running laps and practice, AND no Percy trying to give me detentions and rude wakeup calls" She laughed.

"See, everyone misses something" She said poking her freshly manicured nails into his chest playfully.

"Well seeing as we know what we miss about home, what do you like about Hogwarts?" he said.

"Well… let's see, great friends, great meals, the big comfy beds, and the look on Pricilla Noel's face when she tries to get me riled up and I just ignore her."

"Well, I defiantly agree with that one love," He said. "'Cept I would put Quidditch, and playing pranks on unsuspected first years and Percy in there somewhere." He said matter-of-factly, and they both laughed.

They spent the rest of the morning up by the Owlery, joking and enjoying each others company, saying hi to Hermione and the boys sending her letter home, Muffy Rowland, Cho Chen, and Cedric Diggory joined in their conversations before returning to their own common rooms and activities for the rest of the day. Eventually Fred Lee and Angelina tracked them down and joined in. Pretty soon it was almost one, so the gang left their new unofficial hang out spot to escort Leia to Professor Lupin's office.

"See you later guys!" I yelled down the hallway as I opened the door to Uncle Remus' office. They all turned and waved saying they're "see you laters" so to speak. I closed the door and walked into his office.

Uncle's desk was covered with papers large old leather bound books, and a bloody HUGE magnifying glass (I had started to notice I was picking up British slang even after a week). It was a very plain office, and there were still a few boxes around, it had only been a week after all, but it fit Uncle Remus' personality to a tee: plain, and unorganized. "Uncle, you here?" I called, and no response, so I decided to sit by his desk and wait. After a few minutes I became restless and picked up one of the books on his desk. One titled Creatures of the Dark Arts looked interesting so I started leafing threw, really just looking at the moving pictures of vampires, and goblins, and reading captions, when the door at the back of the room slowly swung open scaring the crap out of me.

"Oh sorry Leia, I didn't know you were here yet!" Uncle Remus said looking surprised with a book in one hand, and a small tray of tea and pastries floating behind him. He put down his book, used his wand to lower the tray onto the desk, and sat down next to me and started pouring tea. He hasn't changed since I was a child; when I first met him after Dad was put in jail, ill fitted slightly warn suits and robes, long shaggy hair covering the scars on his face from the werewolf attack when he was a child. Always well spoken, and his nose in a book of some kind. "Well Leia, how has your first week of school gone for you?" He asked bringing me out of my day dream.

"Really great, I sent a letter to Aunt Kitty and Uncle Robert just telling them how much I love it here." I told him taking a sip of tea; it was Tibetan green tea, my absolute favorite. He's like an elephant never forgets. I thought to myself as Uncle Remus offered me a feta and spinach Danish, my other favorite. "My two favorites Uncle, you never forget!" I said laughing slightly.

"Now what kind of Godfather would I be if I forgot your favorite tea and pastries" he responded. "But I am pleased to hear you are having a nice time here, despite the circumstances they are under."

"Yeah, but I really don't mind. I mean it's only the first week, but I think I've been adjusting pretty well, miss a lot of the material things from home, but I'll get used to it."

"Yes, that is quite a large adjustment I can imagine. I have always felt the way both you in America and everyone here in the UK are very devoid of each other's cultures" Uncle Remus mused.

"Yeah, it's really weird having to explain about music and even books from muggle culture that I've known since childhood. Like today I had to tell George who The Temptations were. It was very strange."

"Yes I can, children here who have both wizard families like the Weasleys are raised solely in the wizard world, that's how your father was raised, how I was raised, and most of your friends. And those who have muggle parents, by the time they are your age have no interest in muggle happenings, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be interested I'm sure" he told me reassuringly.

"That's true, George seemed pretty interested in The Shinning when I told him about it" I said to him.

"So they aren't closed minded, even of things as morbid as that, if you were a Slytherin there might have been very few people as open to you telling them about muggle life." He said.

"Ain't that the truth." I said back dryly.

"On the subject of the Slytherins, any more problems with Miss Noel or Professor Snape?" he asked.

"Professor Snape, none really, I got a good grade on the Drought of Peace, one of the best in the class, and I'm totally positive I did great on the moonstone paper, I think I showed him." I said full of pride like a little kid bringing home my first report card.

"Good for you my dear, using your smarts to prove him wrong," he congratulated me. "Now, how bout that bully you and your friends have had problems with?" He asked quizzically, with that mischievous look on his face that The Twins get when they just finished pulling a prank like they did something wrong.

"Doesn't bother me, she points, stares and whispers, I brush it off," Uncle Remus looked at me like he didn't believe me with a straight face, and then lost it a bit and cracked a smile, and I punched in him in the arm. "It's true! Fred George and Lee have both offered to play some pranks on her and what not, but I tell them not to bother, I'm taking the high road. I am Zen; Karma will get her back in the end." I said putting on a strait face like I was totally at peace then relaxed again. "But enough questioning me, how bout you, how do you like teaching?"

"It's something I always wanted to do, and it's everything I hoped it would be, I am happy that Dumbledore thought of me when he was trying to fill the position after the fiasco with Lockhart."

"Everyone likes you a lot, they all tell me it's the first year that they have actually learned something about the Dark Arts, and retained it. Everyone wants you to teach for a LONG time Uncle." I told him, he seemed to beam like I pumped a huge booster shot to his confidence.

"Well, I am glad to hear it, it will keep me going, and trust me when I tell you, I want to be teaching here for a long time just as well, even with my… 'Condition' so to speak…" then he got quiet. "Now Leia, you have to promise me you wont tell anyone about what… what I am, many people here, when they hear werewolf, get very concerned and act irrational, and parents will not stand for someone like me teaching their children." Uncle Remus took my hand slightly, and his eyes pleaded with mine.

"Course Uncle, I've always been your Secret Squirrel, you know that, it's always been safe with me." I reassured him, I would never tell anyone that Uncle Remus was a Werewolf, and he knew it, but just hearing the words when it comes to something as serious as that was reassurance always makes everyone feel better.

"That's my girl!" He cheered up, and smiled going back to his tea. Uncle Remus always had a great smile, and personality, I always felt bad for him, being a werewolf he always felt he could never have a dating life. Women did NOT know what they were missing, letting a great guy slip by. Dad made the right choice picking Uncle Remus as my Godfather, my guardian, and my friend. "So what are your plans for the rest of the weekend?" He asked me, once again pulling my mind back to my body.

"Relax a bit, read, take Pupcake for a walk after dinner, catch up on some reading and homework of coarse," I told him.

"How is your little pup adjusting to life here?" I was happy he refrained from calling her a rat like he usually did. Uncle was always one of those people who didn't understand the point of the small yappy dog for a pet.

"Attention hog is what she is, these kids are spoiling her. The first years, they fight over who wants to walk her and pet her and everything, let me tell you, we're going to go back home and she's gonna be such a brat, I already know it."

"More than you I take it?" He laughed mischievously, and I playfully smacked him in the arm. I noticed uncle look at the clock on his wall reading 1:45, and he turned back to me. "Now I hate cutting this short, but I have an appointment at two that I must prepare for, how bout same time next month?" he asked rising from his chair and I followed suit.

"Anytime Uncle, have fun at your meeting and I'll see you Monday." I said hugging him.

"Oh I'll try, have fun with your friends, and don't get into trouble."

"I wont, you don't have to worry about me," I said as I walked out the door and headed back to the common room in Gryffindor Tower.

I walked to towards the picture of The Fat Lady just to watch it swing open as I was about to give the password, and whom do I see at the doorway but, Fred, George, Angelina, and Lee, giving me quite a start. I must have jumped 3 feet in the air, and we all started laughing.

"Hey! There you are, we were wondering when you were gonna get back mate" Said Angelina.

"Yeah thought you got lost, with that blonde brain of yours" Lee said snickering. See over those first few days, everyone had come to learn that I was a dumb blonde at heart. I said something really stupid. I walked right into it really. I asked what was on the Swiss cheeseburger at dinner one night, because everywhere I go they usually put mushrooms on them, and I don't dig mushrooms. So I asked, and everyone looked at me like I just asked what color the sky was and said "Swiss cheese…" Needless to say it was pretty embarrassing but funny, so then I had to explain not only about the mushrooms, but also how third year I tried to streak my hair blonde and the whole thing got dyed, and the blonde seeped into my brain n made me a dumb blonde. So since then, every time I do something funny, like trip over my robes, or say something not quite bright it's because I'm blonde.

"I didn't get lost" I said dryly rolling my eyes, "Me and Uncle were having a long overdue chat, and a nice time" I said. "So where were you guys all headed?"

"Goin to enjoy the nice afternoon weather while it lasts, goin' to sit by the lake for a spell before dinner…" Fred explained as they walked out of the porthole allowing Harry Ron and Hermione through, Ron groaning about how he didn't want to spend the afternoon in the library and Hermione pretending not to hear him.

"Care to Join?" George asked as Lee walked ahead talking to Harry and Ron walked ahead except the twins and Angelina.

"Really guys, like I would say 'No' to a great idea like that," I said sarcastically. "Just let me go grab Pupcake and I'll be right back." I started to walk threw the door way when Fred and George stepped in my way with frowns on their faces. "What?"

"Can't take Pupcake out" George said.

"Because she's already out" Continued Fred.

"Out with whom may I ask?" I asked cautiously.

"Parvati and Lavender" they both finished sighing.

"They said they were going to take her for a walk apparently, Hermione said it was about two hours ago." Angie chirped in. Now I wasn't mad, I'm happy that I have so many people willing to take care of my dog when I'm busy, but those two act like it's their own, I would have loved to spend some time with my dog and remind her who she's going home with at the end of the school year.

"Ok… not a problem I'll talk to them later I gotta lay down some ground rules or something, they just can't take her like that without telling me." I sighed putting one arm over my chest resting my left elbow on my hand and putting my hand on the bridge of my nose.

"If we knew we never would have let them take her without you knowing." George said putting his hand on my arm, Fred and Angelina nodded in agreement.

"Yeah I know, well they'll be back later, still I need to go get something from my room, I'll be down in a jiffy." I said trying to relax a bit walking through the archway into the common room and George followed. "George you didn't have to wait. I won't be long."

"Its ok, don't mind at all." He smiled, always smiling that one. Told me he'd be waiting, so I bolted upstairs. Wearing shorts and flip-flops made running up and down stairs a lot easier than the long heavy robes of the week. I ran into my room that I shared with Angelina and Alicia Jessica and Sophia, and dug into my trunk. Man I had a lot of stuff, clothes, shrunken purses (had quite a collection of those), books, school supplies for potions and what not, and other nick-knacks, until I found my Frisbee and something special I was looking for and bolted back down to George talking Quidditch (what else?), with Seamus and Dean Thomas.

"K, I'm ready!" I said, waving the item walking down the remaining steps.

"A Frisbee?" George asked as he waved later to the younger boys.

"Yeah! What's wrong with that?" I asked as we walked out the porthole into the hallway.

"Nothing, just haven't played with one for a long time, dad got one from the muggle toy shop when I was a kid and he lost it in the pond by the house." he took it out of my hand and looked at it like a scientist looking at an artifact. "Him and Bill were playing, and Dad threw it too far and right into the pond it went, never found it," he laughed and shook his head, he continued as he handed it back to me and I shrunk it with my wand and stuffed the Frisbee in my pocket. "Mum said it served him right for buying ridiculous muggle toys," we walked out the front doors to the castle onto the grass.

"Hey, I'll race ya!" I said, we both stopped, he looked at me with a devilish grin and I gave him one myself. "Go!" and with that we bolted down to the lake.

George almost beat me until I jumped on his back and tried to tackle him down but he grabbed my legs and ran with me on his back piggyback style until we reached the spot that Fred Angelina and Lee and Kate Bell were sitting at. It was right under this huge ancient tree right next to the lake. George finally put me down and I kicked off my flip flops and attempted to do a cartwheel over to Angelina Fred Kate and Lee lounging in the grass and failed miserably by falling right on my back. I got up and brushed myself off and walked over to them, everyone stifling laughter at my poor excuse for a cartwheel.

"You ok?" George asked me, lightly grabbing my elbow keeping me steady as I brushed myself off.

"Yeah, never been better," I said fixing my ponytail. "I'll get the hang of doing a cartwheel some day." And we walked over to the calls of our friends calling "smooth move!" and other taunts. I brushed it off of course as I pulled the Frisbee out of my pocket and un-shrunk it. "So who's up for a quick game?"

Needless to say we had brilliant time just horsing around. Teaching Lee and The Twins how to actually throw a Frisbee was just half the fun. Tackle Ultimate Frisbee was where it was at, Ron talked Hermione to letting them go outside and enjoy the weather for a while and we had them join us. We split up into teams, Fred Angelina Hermione and I on one team, and George Harry Ron and Lee on the other. The game started pretty typical, and then we just started just making up our own rules to the point when it was turning into American football opposed to Ultimate Frisbee.

We decided on 21 for a final score to end the game, and we were tied by 20, my team had the advantage being closer to our makeshift goal (Hermione had a spell to draw lines on the ground that looked like the paint you put on football fields with her wand), I was in the goal with George a few feet away, and as the Frisbee was whipped to me by Angelina, it was like slow motion as George jumped behind me and grabbed it running! "OH HELLL NO WEASLEY!" I screamed as I chased him across the grass. We were all chasing him; he got about midfield when I leaped onto his back wrapping my arms around his neck trying to pull him down. So he grabbed my legs and decided to carry me across the grass again.

"Coming along for the ride love?" He asked laughing and panting as he ran.

"Not by choice." I said sarcastically back.

He crossed the goal line by our tree laughing and taunting "We won! You lost!" I could hear the rest of his team cheering. George threw the Frisbee high in the air and started to spin around with me on his back a few times until I told him I felt dizzy, he slowed down and let go of my legs and I jumped off of him. I stumbled a bit as everyone else joined us and I held out my hand.

"Good game buddy, I'll get ya next time," I winked at him. He took my hand and pulled me into a huge bear hug, almost rivaling his mothers as everyone was congratulating and whatnot as we all walked back to the tree, George walked with me with is arm around my shoulder.

We sat with our backs against the tree, it was still light out around 4:30 and dinner wasn't for another hour.

"What are we going to do for a whole hour?" Lee asked.

"Yeah… too tired to play another game…" Fred started.

"And it's too nice to go inside…" said George.

"What are we to do!" They finished, I started laughing again, and I could see George look over at me slightly and smiled.

"Well…" I started to say as I grabbed my wand, and dug into my pocket for something, and when I found it I pulled it out, and un-shrunk it. My mother's guitar (in the case of coarse couldn't play tackle Ultimate Frisbee and risk getting it smashed now could I?), she used to play it all the time when I was little, she would sing to me anything from little kid songs to rock music. When she first started getting sick and I started staying with Aunt Kitty, I would see her and she started teaching me some basics, after she died I took it and started learning with books and by ear. Playing Beatles songs are to this day still my favorite to play. "I can play you guys some songs to pass the time if you want." Everyone stared at me.

"You play?" Hermione asked.

"Since I was eleven" I said cheerfully. "My mother started teaching me before she died, and after that I picked up a natural talent for it." I took the beautiful vintage acoustic and a pick and set it on my lap starting to tune it and strumming it lightly. "Anyone have any requests?" Dead silence from the peanut gallery.

"Anything, whatever you're in the mood for" Harry said, figuring he was one of the few that would know any of the songs I did. I got to know Harry quite a bit as of late, he was really genuine, didn't care that I was Sirius Black's daughter, because he knew I wasn't my father… at least his perception of my father (being crazy and murderous and all but I decided on better judgement not to bring that up).

"Ok, um…. How bout…" I thought about it for a few minutes until I thought of a good relaxing song and started to play….

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise, oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise, oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise…

I finished the last progression… silence everyone was just staring like they had just seen a dragon standing behind me, and then all at once everyone clapped.

"Blimey that was brilliant!" Ron exclaimed.

George put an arm around me and whispered "That was wicked" Into my ear, he was grinning from ear to ear. It caused me to blush, and they wanted another, something upbeat this time, so I sat up and sat on my knees as I thought of a good song to play. My small audience I could tell was getting a bit impatient, so decided on a little tune titled "I Luv You" by The Ordinary Boys.

"Bloody Hell you're good! Can you teach me how to play like that?" Lee asked me.

"Sure, it's not that hard I can show you some stuff right now if you want" I told him, I mean how could I turn down a request after being complemented like that?

I started teaching Lee how to play he was a fast learner for the first time holding a guitar. Hermione and Angelina started talking books and work and what not. Harry and Ron were watching me teach Lee some chords until George and Fred had the BRILLIANT idea to take a spider that was crawling across the grass, make it bigger and stick it in Ron's hair, caused him to flip just a tad (under exaggerating that statement). After Ron's freak out, the four of them started another game of Frisbee just chilling out until the dinner bell rang across the school grounds. I put my guitar back in the case, and re-shrunk it back into my pocket, and as I was about to get up George walked over with his hand out.

"It's time for dinner, you ready?" I took it gratefully as I struggled to get up a bit, let me tell you sitting for like an hour is totally buzz kill on the legs by the way. He kept his hand in mine as we walked back inside the castle, dogging Harry and Ron throwing the Frisbee back and forth over us as we walked, and the sun was just setting over the forest. A perfect end to another perfect day.

AN: Chapter 7 is done! a little filler chapter, hope it wasn't rambling on tooo much, I always have trouble ending my chapters I think. Next chapter I promise it will be cannon to the book. Oh and that little story about the swiss cheese that actually happened to me and now I am a an honorary blondie . Review if you like!
