Chapter 3 Getting Dumped
Aphelia woke up the next morning still lying on a tear soaked pillow. When Hermione went to pick up Aphelia's pillow and put it away she stopped her and said she'd do it herself. After the two dressed in their new outfits they walked down the stairs and met with Ron and Harry.
"Hey Hermione! You look simply ravishing!" said Harry. Aphelia tripped on the last step and Ron caught her.
"Thanks! You saved me from probably breaking my neck!" thanked Aphelia. Ron smiled as he helped her to stand up straight.
"Don't mention it!" he said. Aphelia smiled up at him as she walked over to cut between Hermione and Harry, and to give Harry a hug.
"Oh, gee, thanks!" Harry said sarcastically, as if he was mad at her for cutting between the two.
"God! Sorry! Don't have a cow because you two were split up for more than two seconds!" mocked Aphelia as she walked back up the stairs, "I'm going to borrow Hedwig, Harry!" she said, noticing that her brother probably didn't hear what she said. Tearing a piece of parchment out of Harry's bag, she wrote a note to Draco.
Hey Draco!
I really miss you, and I am sorry for our fight!
I didn't mean for it to end like it did, and I'll
Stop trying to kill James if you want!
Love you always,
Aphelia
"Hedwig, take this to Draco please!" she asked as she tied it to her leg. Hedwig gave Aphelia an affectionate nip and flew out the window. After watching Hedwig become a spot in the clouds, she sped downstairs so she wouldn't miss breakfast, but she did anyway.
"Sorry Lea, but we couldn't wait for you, we're already late for the theme park opening!" cried Hermione as they all went into the car.
"What's a theme park?" asked Ron as they drove away. Aphelia buckled her seatbelt and started to explain it to him, and the closer they got the more he wanted to go.
"They even have things called rollercoaster's that go upside down WITHOUT magic?"" asked Ron. He obviously didn't believe her.
"Witches honor!" she said, holding up three fingers. Ron laughed, as did Hermione and Harry, thought they weren't laughing at what Aphelia said, for they were too caught up in each other.
"Whatever, Aphelia!" Ron said. Aphelia crossed her arms and motioned Ron's attention towards the big roller coaster they had just driven by. Ron was too bewitched by what he saw to even say a word back to Aphelia.
"TOLD ya!" she said as she pushed him out of the car, for it seemed he had lost control of his movements. "Come on Ron! Hurry up you two love birds! Let's go on the roller coasters!" cried Aphelia as she ran towards the theme park. As they entered Aphelia immediately directed them to the most exciting roller coaster in the place, 'Witches Brew'.
"I don't know about this, Aphelia," started Hermione, but Harry grabbed her hand and directed her on. The two of them sat together, so Ron and Aphelia sat directly inside them. As the chain started to pull them up to the first drop, Ron instinctively slammed his eyes shut.
"Ron! Open your eyes! It's no fun if you don't watch!" Aphelia said as she grabbed his hands away from his eyes and held them tightly in hers. Ron took one look at her pouting face and kept his eyes open on the first drop. Aphelia screamed as her stomach flew up to the bottom of her ribs and her lungs began to lose some breath. Ron's face was contorted in horror which made Aphelia laugh.
"That was WICKED!" said Ron as they got off of the ride. They waited for Harry and Hermione to exit the ride, which they felt wasn't a good idea.
"Uh, bye you guys!" Aphelia yelled as she grabbed onto Ron's hand and ditched the two 'lovebirds'.
"What are you doing?" Ron yelled, but Aphelia didn't stop until she was SURE that she had ditched them.
"I didn't think you wanted to spend the day watching those two hang all over each other! I know I sure didn't, but I didn't want to ditch them by myself so as a last resort I decided to make you come with me!" Aphelia said. Ron smiled a smile of gratitude as they went into the line of another ride.
The two of them had a blast the whole day, and were both reluctant when they had to leave. When they caught back up with Hermione and Harry both of them noticed that the two probably didn't even notice that Aphelia and Ron were gone.
"Ugh! These two are really getting on my nerves!" Aphelia said, sticking her finger into the back of her throat. At that moment Hedwig swooped down and gave Aphelia a letter.
Aphelia,
Yeah, I missed you too! I
Have been spending my summer
With James, but he recently ditched
Out on us! There's something I think
We should do, though. I don't think
We should be together anymore. We
Just don't click!
Hate to break it to you like this,
Draco
Aphelia crumpled up the letter and shoved it into her pocket. Getting into the car she tried to keep herself from letting her cry, but little use it did. Tears started pouring from her beautiful green eyes, and her cheeks began to swell. Ron was the only one to notice.
"What's wrong, Aphelia? Why are you crying?" he asked, putting an arm around her. Aphelia shook her head, but decided to tell him anyways.
"Hedwig just brought me a letter from Draco! He just broke up with me again!" she wailed as she laid her head on his shoulder.
"Get over him! You'll be fine! You were WAY too obsessed with him, anyways!" said Hermione, and Harry just nodded. Aphelia started crying harder on Ron's shoulder for the rest of the drive home.
"Don't listen to them, Aphelia! They are just too into themselves to notice anything about anyone else!" Ron said and he continued to comfort her. Aphelia drove the rest of the way to Hermione's house feeling completely miserable. Once again Draco had ruined another perfect day.
