On the train ride home I get a serious sense of déjà vu, Harry sitting beside me opposite Ron and Hermione, The trolley lady going to each compartment, ordering the same snacks as last time, Ron falling asleep on Hermione and Harry and Hermione falling asleep shortly after would. The only thing that's different is that we have Ginny with us who keeps me company the whole journey as everyone else sleeps. I pull out my iPod and I teach her how to play hangman, Scrabble, Tic-Tac-Toe and other two player games, like when you're on holiday the journey home went by much faster than the journey to Hogwarts and before we knew it we were back at platform 9 ¾.
I'm squished and pushed off the train by all the other excited students ready to see their parents again, When we've finally managed to go to the luggage compartment and retrieved our trunks Hermione and I say goodbye to everyone and go to find our parents. We find Hermione's Mum and I'm completely shocked that not only was she there but so was my Mum, Hermione runs over to her mother and gives her a big hug but as I'm not one for contact my Mum puts her arm around me as we walk out of the station.
''I'm Happy you came to get me.'' I say giving her a quick squeeze.
''Well of course I'd come, I haven't seen you in three whole months.'' She smiles and kisses my forehead before we climb into her car.
Now I'm not going to lie I'm slightly pudgy because I like my food, So when my Mother turns into a McDonalds drive through you can imagine my excitement. Hermione and I order a big mac meal with a coke and gulp It down eagerly, Hogwarts food is pretty damn good but nothing beats a maccies.
''So Draco couldn't make it today?'' My mother asks as I just finish my food.
I sigh and look at Hermione who has focused her gaze out the window.
''No, Bit of a ridiculous thing to ask of someone to come to ours the day they go home to their parents.''
''Yes I suppose you're right, When will I meet him then?''
''Tomorrow he's coming between 12-5pm, He'll travel by flu powder.''
''I'll have to thank your father for convincing me that would come in handy one day.''
The subject is then changed to what we'd like to do during the holidays, Hermione says that Mrs Weasley has invited her to stay at the burrow for the weekend and that I'm welcome to come. Our parents agree we can go and I suggest exchanging some of my wizard money in for muggle and doing some shopping as the weather for the next two months or so is supposed to be above 20 degrees Celsius which for the UK is bloody hot and i've outgrown most of my summer clothes. Hermione eagerly seconds my suggestion and we plan to meet in London on Wednesday around 12pm.
When we reach Hermione's house we all climb out to say our farewells and after hugging the life out of me Hermione and my Aunty grab their trunk out the boot and we bid them goodbye till Wednesday, I jump into the front seat and turn on the music. After not being able to fall asleep on the train I doze off on the long two hour journey home where my mum wakes me up by dumping my dog Rosie on my lap.
''Hey girly! I've missed you! Yes i have, Yes i have.'' I say rubbing my nose against hers.
''John and Alex are out till 3:30 so you can chill upstairs till then.'' Mum tells me.
She says to take the dog upstairs whilst she unloads my stuff and I quickly run to my room, Flopping down on the bed with my fluff ball I get kissy attacked, I've missed Rosie more than anyone if i'm honest.
My bed is as comfortable as I remember and I actually feel excited to sleep tonight, Twenty minutes later my mum has bought my trunk up and I'm eager to load up my laptop and check my Facebook feed.
Fifty notifications?! Holy shit, I have to many likes on my school photos.
I scroll through the compliments and questions. 'Where are you girl?! Missing you3', 'Looking good Lizzie, Talk soon yeah?', 'Glad to see you're not bored out your mind!' Are just some of them, If only they knew how unbored I was. I reply with simple answers like 'Thankyou guys.' And 'Ring you soon3'. At 3:30pm the door opens and shuts and I head downstairs to say hi to my Mums fiance John and my Brother Alex.
''Welcome home.'' John says giving me an awkward side hug.
''Thanks, Glad to be home.''
''Lizzie! You're bad! How was it? Did you get to ride a Dragon? Were the lessons cool? Can you make me small? Can you teach me something? Di-'' Alex bombards me with questions.
''Wow Wow Wow calm down lil man, It was good, No I didn't, Amazing, Not yet, Not allowed to use magic outside of school and I'm fine thanks for asking.''
''Sorry I'm just excited and jealous, I can't wait to go.''
''Well you only have to wait four years so not that long to wait eh?'' I shuffle his hair and head into the living room.
We spend the rest of the watching all the shows I've missed but by the time it reaches 9:30pm we have only just got half way through the recordings, Yawns catching from one person to another we decide it's time for bed. I bid everyone goodnight and give a hug to my mum before heading upstairs, I change into my pjs, Brush my hair and tie it up into a bun then remove my makeup. Climbing into my bed can only be described as a slice of heaven, It's so soft and bouncy that within a few minutes of hitting the pillow I'm fast asleep.
