Thank you for reading, and don't forget to hit that little button that says 'review'!

Adara's party lasted longer than it really need to, all of us started getting tired. The sugar in the punch and iced decorated desserts only did so much before leading to sugar crashes.

I spent five minutes dodging James, who insisted I dance with him. I did once, he spent the entire time stepping on my toes and whining about Adara. I wondered if he secretly liked her. They weren't related so it could work?

I danced with Artie a few times, he could actually dance. He would be starting Hogwarts with me and Adara. That was one nice thing about not being a Weasley, I wasn't related to any of the boys at these events.

"Rose?" I looked out from behind the pillar I had half hidden behind.

"Good, this is third pillar I stopped at. Your mother is getting tired and we're about to floo home. Did you want to come with us, or stay?"

"I'll come with. Just let me say good-bye to Adara." Father nodded walking with me. Adara was sitting in a gold chair against one wall. She really looked like a princess on a throne.

"Leaving Rose?"

"Yes, thank you for the lovely party, Adara."

"Thank you for coming, Rose, Uncle Severus." Adara glanced around.

"Your aunt is saying good bye to your mother," Father answered as mom joined us.

"Adara, thank you for inviting us."

"You're welcome, Aunt Hermione. Did you and mum decide on a day to go shopping?"

"Yes, next Tuesday, we're leaving at ten for Diagon Alley."

"Great! I'll see you all then," Adara replied. We made our way to the fireplace and flooed home.

Aunt Fleur had returned to our home with the twins and Hera.

"Zey are asleep, leetle Hera is adorable. Oh, ze twins gave me this," she handed Mom several worms. Mom shook her head.

"Thank you for watching them, Fleur. I'm sorry about the worms. I don't know what's gotten into the boys lately." Aunt Fleur laughed. I slipped from the room making me way up to bed. Only two more weeks until Adara and I were at Hogwarts with all her cousins. I smiled, maybe not knowing anyone else would be a good thing. I could finally make friends that weren't complete drama queens.

I slept fitfully, waking every hour or so positive I could hear someone calling my name.

"Rose, Rosy." I blinked my eyes open again. I must have only been asleep a few minutes. The curtains blew around my window. I swore I had closed it last time I'd woken. I slid from bed, walked over and was about to close the window when I saw a light outside in the woods. I blinked a few times trying to make sure I wasn't dreaming. The light remained. I slammed my window closed, making sure to lock it this time. Something about the light scared me. I darted to my parents room. I could hear Father snoring. He claimed he didn't. I knocked loudly causing Father to stir.

"Rose? What's wrong?" I walked into the room, Mom sat up looking at me.

"I heard someone calling my name, and there's a light outside in the woods."

"Rose, there is no one in the woods."

"I swear I saw a light and my window was open. I know I closed it."

"Maybe you only dreamed you closed it?" Mom suggested. Father got out of bed.

"I'll go check, Rose, do you want to come with me. We'll prove there's nothing to be afraid of." I nodded following him back to my room. The window was closed and locked.

"See, it's closed now."

"I just closed it." I looked out. The light was gone. Father nodded.

"What ever it was is gone now. Maybe it was the reflection of the moon on something in the woods, your brother did find a large piece of moonstone. Something like that could have reflected the light." I nodded. That did sound reasonable.

"Good night, Rose."

"Good night, Father." I crawled back into my bed and pulled the blankets over my head falling asleep for the third time that night.
