March went by really fast, over this month I spent a lot of time with Pansy, we'd gossip, talk about everything together, we did work for lessons and bitched about the people we didn't like. We became serious bestfriends, by the time May came around we were always together when we could be, always talking about things, I found out that Pansy had a really high opinion of Draco, but didn't actually 'like' him, yet. I figured she would like him soon, in 'that way', which meant if I was still friends with her he'd be off-limits to me, but that was alright, wasn't it? Obviously not. Wait, I didn't mean that, I don't like Draco that way.
Anyway, school went by pretty fast, something happened with Harry Potter and Professor Quirrell, I didn't really understand what though, and then it was time to go home. We all filled into the great hall for one of our last meals together, we were leaving that Friday, it was Tuesday at the moment. "Arabella, you'll have to come visit me and my family this summer, it's a must!" Pansy called at me at dinner, Draco piped in "As long as she still comes to mine for the two weeks I'm fine with that," he winked at me, I could see Pansy's face drop a bit, we all conversed while eating, saying how much we needed to stay in touch. I couldn't wait to get home and see my parents though! I had missed them an awful lot, and while I had been keeping in touch with them over the year I hadn't seen them due to not being able to go home for christmas, and the fact you couldn't go home any other time unless it was a must. I knew I was going to miss Hogwarts while I was at summer break, but I figured I'll be back within 2 months, so it'd be fine. The week went fast and Friday soon came, I woke early, around 5am, got dressed and unlocked my trunk. Daph and Mill were already awake, and Pansy was just waking up. I pilled all my clothes and books onto my bed "Pack" I murmered sleeply, pointing my wand at my bed, my items all started to fold and place themselfs into my trunk. I could hear Pansy doing the same behind me. I then started doing my make-up, before pilling it into my trunk, along with all my other belongings which would just sit on top.
We went down to breakfast and pilled our plates up high with bacon, eggs, hash browns, sausages and other various foods, I gulped down some breakfast orange and started talking to Draco about summer. "So, your birthdays soon isn't it! Doing the same as last year?" "Well, not exactly Draco," I laughed, remembering how last year I found out about getting a place at Hogwarts, and spent the day questioning my parents and planning what I had to buy "I'll probably have people round or something, I'm not sure yet like, depends what my parents decide. You'll see me anyway, you always come round on my birthday, it's a fact" I smiled at him and he smiled back. All around the great hall was a loud murmer coming from every table, you could tell students were going to miss eachother over the summer, there was something special about the feeling given off in the room, I couldn't understand it though. After breakfast I went to get Rosina from the owlery and put her in her cage, we went down the the train (our things were transported before us) and then we boarded, finding a carrige for ourselfs. In our compartment was myself, sat between Draco and Pansy, with Zabini across from me and Crabbe and Goyle next to him. I had no idea where Millicent and Daphine had gone, but no one else seemed to mind. We all talked the whole train ride home, talked about our next year at Hogwarts, how much we were going to miss each other, and remembered storys from throughout the year, overall it was rather amusing, and I honestly couldn't help but laugh for most of the ride. For part of the trip I fell asleep, and once I awoke I found myself leaning on Draco, with Blaise's jacket over me to keep me warm. How cute were my friends? I loved them already.
"So, how longs left till we're homeeee?" I asked once I'd woken up properly. "Urm, about 20 minutes I think" Pansy said with a grin on her face, I handed Blaise his jacket back and sat up a bit, I could see the sun glowing across the sky, it must have been around 5pm by now, after no longer than half an hour we arrived at Kings Cross where parents eagerly waited their children.
I got off the train and looked for my parents, once I'd found them I ran towards them and embraced them in a huge hug! Lucius and Nissy were next to my parents, and Draco ran after me to make sure he could get to them. We collected our trunks and my owl and then myself and my parents held onto our house elf who transported us back home, after saying goodbye's of course.
Once I got home I got my things unpacked and told my parents about my year at Hogwarts. "Well, I made really good friends with most people in my classes! Everyone at Hogwarts seems really lovely.." I didn't dare mention Kyle to them, he was part of my time at Hogwarts I wanted to forget so much. "So," my mam started "met any love interests?" she nudged me in the side while winking towards my dad "Don't be silly" I giggled, covering it up smoothly. I carried on telling them both about my full time at the castle, "...and there was a troll...", "...oh, and I saw a three-headed dog!", I didn't mention about my dreams either, I didn't want them to know anything about them.. Yet. I knew I'd have to tell them one day, but I also knew it wouldn't be soon, well around 4 years or something. But I had more important things to worry about before that happened, like sleeping and eating. Even though I'd slept a lot on the train I was still pretty tired, I didn't know why either. Worthumble had cooked tea and was now setting it out for us, full Sunday lunch in aid of me coming home, yum!
I gobbled down tea and felt seriously sleepy, I headed to my room and fell onto my bed, thinking about how much I was going to miss people It's alright though, I'll see Draco soon, he'll be coming over for my birthday like every year, and I'll be staying at his for two weeks. Aww, I will miss him like, after spending the whole year near him it's weird not to really be around him much. Oh, the others too of course.. Like Zabini, and Pansy. I'll have to see them this summer!
I changed and then crawled into bed, before tumbling into a dream.
"Mistress Arabella, please wake, it's time for breakfast and your parents would like you downstairs" Worthumble said in his high-pitched cute little voice, I couldn't help but smile at him. "Alright, tell them I'll be 10 minutes yeah?" the elf nodded and headed out of my room, closing the door behind him. I went over and turned the raido on, seen as I wasn't allowed to do magic out of school I couldn't just swish my wand at it. I started singing along to the song and got dressed, after I was ready I went down to the dining room and ate breakfast with my parents.
"So, what would you like this year for your birthday Bells?" I hadn't even thought about it. Woah, what did I want? Books maybe? Clothes, probably. "We could go shopping for clothes or something if you want? I have no idea what else to ask for" my parents nodded and we decided we'd go shopping the following day. I spent the day looking around our lirbary, picking out books I'd never read before and settled down to start to read them. I picked up a book about Dragons and read the title 'Draco'. I closed my eyes and shook my head slightly. Why did he always invade my life? It was kinda annoying me a little now. He was an idiot, always invading my thoughts. But I guess it wasn't his fault, it was mine, but everything reminded me of him! Why couldn't they remind me of Pansy or Blaise? Always Draco. Anyway, moving him out of my thoughts.. I sat down and started reading the book, which I honestly found interesting. After this I headed upstairs, put the book under my pillow to finish later/over the next few days, and then went for a shower. I got in the shower and turned it on, boiling water splurted onto my body, I jumped back and fell backwards. I reached my hand out to grab something, a towel. It fell ontop of me as my head smacked against the shower door, I blacked out.
Authors note: this years gone really fast, I know, but that's just because I have so many idea's for the next years!
