Right, so this is NOT the last chapter for this story...it's just the end of the first year...I'm going to go into the summer, please don't fret. Here it is...I own nothing except Audrea...my sister owns Katie.


After months of agonizing studying, horrible exams and Harry, Ron and Hermione finding the Sorcerer's Stone, summer started to approach.

I had taken to doing homework outside, mainly by the greenhouse. I can hear Neville talking to Professor Sprout about a summer internship.

I laugh softly, knowing Neville's passion of Herbology.

I turn back to my last essay for Snape's class. I tap my quill against the paper, and think.

I glance down at the parchment in front of me. Describe the uses of boomslang skin. Two feet of parchment due at the beginning of class on Monday.

I roll my eyes at Snape's scrawl on my parchment. He's such a horrid teacher. Good guy, just sucks in this subject.

"What're you doing?"

I scream, loudly I might add, and look to see Katie looking at me.

"Katie! Blimey!"

She laughs. "Blimey? Wow, you're starting to sound like them!"

I shake my head and smile. "Hey, I've caught you a time or two sounding just like them! Accent and all."

"Yeah, well, it's fun to do once in awhile." She replies, sitting beside me.

We sit in a comfortable silence for a bit. I can't imagine going back to Linda and Zachary's. It's going to be so awkward. I barely know them, yet I'm going back to their home to live for the summer.

"Rea?"

I inhale, smelling the grass. "Mhmm?"

"What are you going to do this summer? I mean, you'll be going back to a place where no one knows you and there's no one there for you to talk to."

I scoff. "Thanks for reminding me, there, Katie. Now I can officially start sulking in misery."

She nudges me. "I'm sorry, I'm just concerned. Weirdly enough, you've become one of my close friends."

"Thanks, Katie. Your concern means a lot." I say, cracking my neck.

She smiles and stands up. "Well, come on."

I look at her in confusion. "Sorry?"

"Come on! Let's go!" she replies, pulling me up, nearly tearing my parchment in half.

"Watch it! Where the bloody hell are we going? I have to finish this parchment!" I exclaim as she drags me toward the castle.

"To have fun! Classes are almost over and you have a page and a half done of that stupid essay! I'll bring you back to the common room in time to finish up." she explains, stopping to roll it up for me.

I snatch it away from her and shake my head. "No, no way! I'm almost finished! I may not be Brains, but this is the final, let me repeat final, grade in Snape's class. I have to get the best grade possible!"

Katie rolls her head to one side and huffs. "That's too damn bad. You're going to have fun with us!"

I roll my eyes. "Us? Who is us?"

After much fighting, screaming and some duct tape, I'm dragged out to the Quidditch field. When we arrive, (please note, I'm being levitated because I'm duct taped. Mouth, hands, legs and feet.) I see Harry, Ron, Hermione and Seamus waiting with brooms.

My eyes grow wide and I know what's going to happen. I wiggle as much as possible, hoping that, with any luck, I'll be able to wiggle free. Luck is apparently against me as I'm titled down and held by Harry and Ron.

Hermione takes the duct tape off gingerly and gives me a small smile.

"Hey, Rea."

"What the hell! I have an essay to finish, you prats! It needs to be done!" I yell, squirming.

Ron pokes my side and I instantly fall in line. That arse knows my weak spots.

"Right," Katie says. "We're going to play a bit of Quidditch. It's going to be me, Seamus and Rea on one team; Harry, Hermione and Ron? You guys are the opposing."

"No." Hermione interrupts. "I can't play. I can't even get the broom to hover for me."

Katie rolls her eyes annoyed. "Brains! Your killing me here!" she thinks for a moment and snaps her fingers. "Right then, Harry, you sit out with her. We all know your amazing at Quidditch, it's time for the bench warmers to have a shot."

Harry laughs and tugs Hermione away to a safer distance. Katie turns back to us and taps her chin.

"Ron? Your with Rea. Me and Seamus will go against you."

I sigh as Ron smiles and gives me a wink.

"I still don't see why I have to play. Let Harry play! I'll sit with Brains!"

Katie glares at me and I shut up.

Seamus and her take two brooms and head away from us to talk tactics.

Ron turns to me and smiles widely. "Hi ya, Rea!"

I cock my eyebrow and set my jaw. "I will kill you, Ron Weasley. I will."

He throws an arm around my still duct taped shoulders and laughs.

He pulls a pack of Red Vines from his pocket and offers me one.

I roll my eyes and open my mouth. He laughs and puts one in my mouth. I chomp down on it, hoping to nab one of his fingers.

I chew the licorice and instantly feel relaxed. He senses this and starts to undo the tape.

"Red vines. What the hell can't they do?" he mutters.

Two hours later, Ron and I are beating Katie and Seamus one hundred and thirteen points to one hundred points.

"You guys suck!" I yell, as Seamus tries to make a shot.

Hermione cheers as Ron makes a goal. Harry smiles and points his wand at his throat.

"Okay, game over. Ron and Rea win!"

I fly towards Ron and high five him as Seamus and Katie float towards our other friends.

"That was absolutely enthralling!" I exclaim, flinging my hands in the air and almost fall.

Ron catches me, as I grip the broomstick tighter. "My bad."

He laughs. "It's okay. You'd make a wonderful keeper. You should try out with me and Harry next year! You could even come to the Burrow this summer to play a few rounds!"

I smile brightly. "I'd love that, Ron," Then I remember that I'm going back to America. "But I doubt that'll happen."

He gives me a strange look and tilts his head. "Why? Don't you think your Mum and Dad will want you to have fun with your new friends?"

I bite my lip and shake my head. "Come on, we're going to raise suspicion if we stay up here."

I fly back to earth as Hermione comes up and hugs me.

"Oh Audrea! You were amazing!"

I smile and nod. "Thanks, Brains."

When Ron comes down, we all huddle and lay on the grass.

We all talk and laugh about things that happened the past year. I smile and laugh enjoying what time I have left with these wonderful people.

"Ahem,"

Everyone sits up and looks. I smile and jump up as everyone else slowly stands.

"Audrea, may I speak with you?"

Ron steps in front of me and crosses his arms. "What do you want, Malfoy?"

"What I just said, Weasleby." They glare at each other and I step in front of Ron.

"Uh, I'll see you guys back at the common room, yeah?" I grab Draco's hand and drag him away from his staring contest with Ron.

When we're far enough away from the group, Draco wraps his arm around my waist.

"How was your day?"

I laugh. "Productive, until I was duct taped and captured by Katie."

Draco snorts. "Duct taped? Wow, Audi, wasn't aware that duct tape was a form of binding and gagging someone."

I shake my head and look up at him. "It's not."

We walk towards the Quad and watch the sun set.

"We leave in two days." he says softly.

I duck my head and sigh. "I know, only two days until this beautiful, amazing life ends and I start my dreary, awkward life with Linda and Zachary."

He pushes the hair out of my eyes and tucks it behind my ear. "Hey, you'll write me. I'll write you. I'll even figure out a way to use that thing you Americans use."

I giggle. "A telephone, Draco. And you don't have to. I'll write you everyday, even if you get sick of me and my stupid letters."

"I'll never get sick of your letters. Promise. I'll make sure to look for them everyday." he replies taking my hand again.

I smile, and lean my head on his shoulder. "Your sweet. But I know you'll have other things to do. So, don't make me a priority, okay?"

He shakes his head and let's out a short laugh. "That's a little hard to do, Audi. You've all ready become a priority. You're my best friend."

I smile and look up at him. "And your mine."

As we stand watching the sunset, I realize that this summer might be different. I'll be able to show my foster parents some of the things I've learned here and tell them all of my adventures. I may even spend some time at Katie's, maybe even Hermione's. One things for sure, this whole year has been amazing.


Yeah, that's that chapter...anyone catch a 'funnie' in there? Perhaps it dealt with A Very Potter Musical? You've never seen it? o_0 Go to Youtube. Type in A Very Potter Musical. Watch all of it. it's wonderful. Do it now, and perhaps with enough reviews and possibly some favoritism? Anyway, that'd be it.
