Kristen Gregory

Kristen had witnessed Dylan talking with Mrs. Marvil. She also witnessed Mrs. Marvil giving Dylan a present and Dylan immediately regifting it to that little Weasley girl. She could tell that Dylan was not happy. If this were to happen a couple years ago Dylan would have rushed right to Kristen to tell her all about it, but now Kristen wasn't so sure. Dylan didn't really spend much time with her anymore. Kristen knows that the only reason Dylan never responded to any letters was because she wasn't allowed to, but even at the wedding Dylan didn't really socialize with Kristen much. She mostly just talked to Massie, Alicia, Josh, and Kemp. Massie, Alicia, and Kemp were all in Gryffindor together and Josh and Dylan spent a lot of time together for the last year. Kristen kind of felt like she was getting pushed out of Dylan's life. That is why she took the moment to grab Dylan's attention so that they could have a venting session like old times.

"You look like you have a lot to say," Kristen said as the two walked away from the crowd.

"She is just so horrible. She tries to act like she is so innocent when she is the one who kidnapped me and lied to me about who I was," Dylan sighed.

"What did she say?" Kristen asked.

Dylan told her about their conversation.

"So she invited you and Harry to live with her?" Kristen asked.

"Yeah do you believe it?" Dylan asked.

"Maybe she is trying to start over with you and honestly based off of what I've heard about your aunt and uncle I don't see why you don't do it," Kristen shrugged.

"Are you serious Kristen? She hasn't changed. She is still her same condescending self. She just wants to be able to be able to control Harry and I and push us around," Dylan said.

Kristen could see that she trusted Mrs. Marvil about as far as she could throw her.

"I get why you don't trust her and I guess with your history you probably shouldn't," Kristen said.

"Exactly. She has lied to me for my entire life," Dylan said.

"Plus I would never want to live in the same house as Jaime and Ryan," Kristen said. Dylan gave Kristen a nice smile.

"I'm glad neither of them want to talk to me. I bet they are very pleased that I don't have to burden their lives anymore," Dylan said.

"You were always way cooler than them. I bet they are so jealous that you are a legend and they are just...forgettable," Kristen smirked.

Dylan chuckled.

"I miss us Kristen," she said. Kristen smiled.

"I miss us too," she agreed.

"Lets hang out more this year," Dylan said.

"I would like that. Hopefully that won't include risking our lives though," Kristen joked. The smile fell from Dylan's face. Kristen noticed this and was nervous. She hopes that she didn't offend Dylan with that comment. Maybe she was sensitive about it. Kristen would be if she had to face You-Know-Who with little training.

Before Kristen could apologize Dylan smiled at her.

"I don't plan on putting myself in danger if I can help it," she giggled. Kristen smiled back.

"Dylan there you are. We're about to leave," Harry said running up to them. Dylan looked back at Kristen with a smile.

"Thanks for listening. I'm sure I'll see you soon," she said. Kristen nodded.

"You bet," she said. And with that Dylan left with Harry and the Weasley family.

It is always nice to catch up with old friends. In the next chapter Dylan goes to Diagon Alley where she loses Harry and meets a wizard celebrity. Then after that Alicia will meet up with the Weasley twins at the same place she met them for the first time.
