Please Review!!!

I got off of the Hogwarts Express to be greeted by a smiling James, Mum, and Dad.

I ran to hug them and said, "I've missed you guys, it's been too long!"

Al came out a few minutes later, followed out by a giggling Addie, who went to go over to her mum and dad.

"Hey mum," he said first, hugging her then everyone else.

I looked over at the last part of the train station, where Tyler Moon and Matt were getting off of, Tyler was talking in whispers to a glum Matt, but then, our eyes met. Seconds slowly passed by before I looked away from him. We still had not talked since our yell off in the common room, which was the top conversation of most students until finals came up.

James looked at me one, and then did a second over, kissing my forehead, "You look better than the last time I saw you."

"I would hope so," I told him, with the most happiness I could muster.

"Come on you two, we've got to get you home." Dad announced to the four of us.

James took my trunk and Dad pulled Al's while mum dragged Al along since he was almost asleep already. He had more than likely just stayed up on the train and had a party with his soon to be seventh year friends.

On the long drive home, I could not stop thinking about Matt. No matter how hard I tried to divert my head from him, everything always came back to him.

When we got home, I opened the front door to find Teddy and Victoire yelling "surprise!" at me.

I ran to give them both a hug, crashing into them. "Hi!"

"Happy to see us?" Teddy asked with a grin, with his teal hair turning to a light purple.

"More than just happy, and-" My eyes went straight to a glare that was shining into my eyes, Victoire had a ring on her ring finger… which means… A high pitched squeak came out of my mouth and I went to hug Victoire again, then to Teddy, who had a severe height advantage over me and I playfully hit him on the arm, "It's about time you two got married."

Victoire let out a laugh and said, "We aren't married yet, that's partly the reason why we're here, come on, sit down."

When everyone had gotten settled down in the living room, Teddy stood up and said, "Well, as you all know, Victoire and I are getting married."His smile widened and he looked over towards me, "So, we were talking, and talking, and talking, on who would be bridesmaids and best men and all that stuff."

Teddy's smile grew wider, "So, we were wondering, if it was okay with you, Harry and Ginny, if Lily would come with us next summer, to France where we're getting married, to be Victoire's Maid of Honor."

I jumped off of the couch to make a high pitched screaming noise, looking towards my mum and dad. Dad had a shifty smile on his face, but mum's eyes were wide open, mouth slightly agape, and I could already she the words forming, 'no way in hell.'

"Now, before you go making any irrational decisions Ginny," Teddy said quickly, "I'd like to show you a schedule that Victoire and I are happy to keep Lily on," he had a twenty-five minute presentation of what I'd be doing there for every single day of the summer, when he had finished, Teddy said, "So, what is your verdict?"

Mum looked mad that she had been ambushed and dad looked less pleased at the idea, through gritted teeth my mum answered, "We'll have to think about it."

"Okay, fair enough," Teddy said, "Now can we go eat some cake?"

He had Al at the word "eat," and he was up like a flash to the kitchen. Mum and Dad weren't as quick to get up, I went up to mum and whispered, "so can I?"

She didn't answer my question and said, "Go in the kitchen and grab some cake."

When I entered the kitchen the cake was half gone, Al's fingers were covered with cake, and his face was half full of cake. He only looked up at me once, with his food in his mouth, to ask, food still in his mouth, "what?"

A knock came on the door, James went to go answer it and when I saw who it was, I had to tilt my head a little bit to see who it was. Addie ran to give me a hug, and when she let go she said hi to Al, who had been digging into the cake and almost choked on some of the cake when he saw Addie. Who had gone red in the face from embarrassment, but this was covered up by dad and mum coming into the room and Addie making a loud squeak.

"You're Harry Potter!" Addie ran over to my dad and extended out her hand, for him to shake it.

He made a laugh and said, "You must be Addie, Lily's told us all about you."

Addie moved over to my mom and her eyes widened, "You're Ginny Potter, you played for the Holyhead Harpies and you lead them to the Quidditch Finals each and every time that you were on the team!"

My mum seemed to forget about how she had been ambushed, "And you're Addie Abraham, the girl who I've finally gotten to meet."

"The pleasure is all mine," Addie said, shaking my mom's hand with a slight force.

"Addie is horrible at first impressions," I informed them, "She acted even weirder the second time we met."

"Well, it's expected to be weird when she's your friend." Laughed James, for once, I laughed along with him, and without sarcasm. It felt good to be around the family for once.

"Why aren't you spending this time back with your family?" I asked, a little confused as to why she wasn't home with her family.

"They wanted me to come and ask you if you wanted to sleep over tonight, since you've never been to my house and I've just met your parents for the first time." Addie explained.

"Can I?" I turned over to my mum, who nodded, slightly frowning but I wasn't going to give it a second thought.

"Let's go get your stuff packed so that we aren't waiting at the last minute!" but I felt a force pulling us back. It was James with his wand, "not so fast, Addie, where do you live?"

"Down a couple of blocks," Addie said.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Al actually use a napkin to wipe his mouth, but James distracted me from saying anything. "Well, then this would be the perfect opportunity for Al to get some more practice in," James said, and I knew what he had been talking about, "Mum, Al can drive them, he got his muggle license."

"James, no, I will take Addie and Lily, but Al can come along if he pleases" Mum told him, and turned towards me and said with a slight sigh, "Go on Lily, go up and pack your overnight stuff."

I ran up the stairs, accidentally leaving Addie to have a conversation with my parents but when I came back down, Al was coming up the stairs and he said in a hushed whisper, "How come you never told me that she was coming?" He ran the rest of the way up the stairs and slammed the bathroom door shut. It wasn't an angry slam; it was just how you had to get that door closed because dad never repaired the door.

Putting my bag on the bottom step and walking back up the steps, I thrashed the bathroom door open, to reveal Al, doing the most unthinkable… brushing his hair.

"Knocking is obviously something that your brain is not capable to comprehend." Al said, wrinkling up his nose.

"What are you using a brush for?" I asked incredulously.

"So that I don't look like a bloody mess, is that so bad?" He fired.

"Your hair is always messy! Why would you-" it was all connecting now, the napkin, the brush, the shyness… but before I could say anything Al yanked me into the bathroom, putting a hand over my mouth.

"Shhhhhhh! Don't let anyone hear you!"

I tried yelling out "You CANNOT like my best friend!" but mum's voice came from the end of the stairs. "Lily, come on, we have to go!"

"Don't you dare say anything, not a word" Al told me, making me nod and he shoved me out of the bathroom.

"Come on Lily," mum said, but I could tell that there was more irritation in her voice than before so I ran down the stairs.

We got into the car and mum got somewhat lost and confused trying to get to Addie's house but we finally found it, mum had a scowl planted onto her face, she hadn't said anything in the car unless it had to deal with directions. Addie muttered as she helped me with my bag, "She was all happy and stuff till I started talking about my mum, I don't know why…"

Addie's front door swung open to a black eyed woman standing in the doorway that must have been her mum, she didn't really look a whole lot like Addie, except for her eye shape and little nitty gritty details like that. The way my mum looked at her made me think about the time that I had first gone into the leaky cauldron and my mum said hi to Hannah, but this was a completely different look that meant that she felt threatened by this woman.

"Hi Ginny!" The woman said delightfully, but mum only tried half heartedly, "Hi Cho."

Her hair was black and put up into a bun, a messy bun at that. She came out of her house and over to the car where she hugged mum, who looked as though she was going to burn Addie's mum's hair off if she lay another finger on her. "It's been too long, hasn't it? That reunion wasn't long enough and it was about the time that you were having this little one here, wasn't it."

I couldn't tell yet why mum hated this woman so much, but I decided to give her a chance, since she was after all, Addie's mom. "Yep." Was all she could say without bursting off of her top, "but I should get going, I left the boys at home and you know what happens when we're not around."

"Oh yes, go ahead, I'll take good care of them." Cho told my mum, who came over to me and kissed my cheek once, and whispered, "If she gives you some strange smelling food, don't eat it, and be a little more rebellious today."

Mum left me with the apparently psycho woman and Addie, who showed me into their house.

It was cozy and not as big as our house, but I liked it the same. Addie showed me up to her room, which had blue wallpaper and several swirls on the walls. Her room was about the same size as mine, but I had a closet, she just had dresser drawers. "It's not much," she told me, "but I can live with it. It doesn't have as many books as you might like, but I have a few."

"I like your room," I told her, "So what did you want me to come over for?"

Addie's smile faded a little and she sighed, "You might want to sit down."

I did and she set herself right next to me on the bed and she took a deep breath, "Are you going to talk to Matt?"

"Why should I? He's the one that doesn't need me for anything," I told her, crossing my arms defiantly.

"Because you need him, I know you do Lily, otherwise you would have torn off that necklace a long time ago…" I looked down at the little charm, forgetting all about it.

We sat in the cold silence for what seemed like hours, "I-I" I closed my mouth and tried to form a sentence in my head, but it wasn't working. Why hadn't it been the first thing that I destroyed? Why had I kept it on for this long if I didn't need him? "I just haven't gotten around to it yet." I told her.

"It's okay if you need him." Addie told me in a quiet voice, "We all need someone to be there for us."

"But I have you and he has her so why can't it be that simple?" I asked her.

"It's because life doesn't just go according to plan… there are always a few bumps in the road." Addie told me glumly. "But you can talk to him about it."

"I'd rather die."

"Lily! He's your best friend."

"Correction, you are, he doesn't need me."

"Oh do you actually believe that bull shit?" Addie asked, getting upset now, "He loves you but he just is too much of a guy to admit it!"

"That's a funny way of showing love." I murmured, deciding that this would go nowhere.

We went back and forth on that topic for about forty minutes till she finally gave up and said that we would argue about it on another day.

I truly believed that he didn't need me; I knew he didn't need me, but later it would be harder to tell what I truly felt, and what others were forcing upon me.

Hi again... I'm sick... still. I'm angry at my dad and sister... what a surprise.... because they want me to go caroling tomorrow when I really don't want to. My sister doesn't even like caroling and she's complaining how I'm not wanting to go yet she hasn't gone for the past four years.... hypocrite.
Anyways, on a happier note, I have got good news! I found a starting title for the sequel! The three bad parts, I told one of you a good idea for one but I can't remember who I told, second, I can't remember what it was, and third, this story isn't even finished so I shouldn't be worrying so much about the sequel!!! so could someone leave a review if they were the one that I told? Thank you so much!
