Author Note: I think I am getting better at writing these stories. I am
sorry if you didn't read the 5th book before you read this story, because
if you didn't you won't know about Harry and Cho. Ok well these characters
all belong to the wonderful J.K. Rowling, except those which are new, they
are all mine, and they are based on my friend, Michelle Bateman, myself and
her "boyfriend" Kennison(Will). So ya love you all and Laterz. On with the
story.

Michelle pulled away from Will's arms.
"Michelle, there is something you need to know though."
"What is that?" She said looking curiously at him
"Well, you aren't exactly a "Muggleborn" as we call it..." he trailed off.
"A whatborn?"
"A Muggleborn, A witch or wizard who was born under non-magical parents."
"That means..."
"Yes, you do have Magical background..."
"How much, exactly?"
"Well you are a pureblood raised as a Muggleborn."
"You mean to tell me that my parents were magical?" She said swallowing hard.
"Not just your parents but your grandparents and even your great grand parents, but that is all I could find out before they got mad at me for not telling them what I wanted your magical background for."
Michelle sat back down on the bench.
"W-why didn't anyone tell me?"
"Well because one they weren't sure if you were magical or not, and two, you were so well adjusted to living life as a Muggle. But now you aren't able to control your magic and we don't need you pouring ice cream cones on everyone you get mad at." He said sitting down beside her
"What about my life here? You expect me to just up and leave? Am I to stay at this school all year round?"
"No you will not be able to stay there all year round. You go home in the summer"
"Really and where would be home be exactly? Am I supposed to come back here every summer?"
"No, No, No. Remember I said that your grandparents were magical?"
"Yes?"
"Well they have a nice Victorian house near the Village of Hogsmeade."
"B-but I don't know them."
"Well you will have time to get to know them, you are staying with them over the summer. You will finish out your schooling here then at the beginning of the summer, you will go to their home and get to know them well. Anymore questions?"
"Just one..." She said starting to blush.
"What is that?" he said not noticing her red face.
"What about you? W-will I ever see you again?"
"Oh..."he said blushing furiously "I don't know, do y-you want to?" he said looking sidewise at her
"I will miss you if I won't see you again she said" She felt him moving closer to her on the bench.
"really?" he said edging ever so slowly towards her.
"yes..."she felt his hand go slowly over hers and jump a little bit. She looked up into his deep brown eyes.
"You know what, Michelle?" Will said softly almost shyly
"what?" Michelle asked in a raspy voice unlike her own.
"I would miss you to."
"really?"
"Yes" he said and she noticed a little bit of red flushing in his cheeks.
"do you know how long I have longed for the warmth of your touch?" Michelle asked but knew he already knew.
"I can take I wild guess..."he said in a sexy voice moving in closer to her face, she followed his lead and met him half way, Michelle completely flew away. Her mind was clear of all worries of the up coming summer, or meeting her magical grandparents or even magic at all. She forgot about Chris, she felt as if she had left all the troubling world behind. Will pulled away ever so slowly, and Michelle came floating back to reality.
"Wow" Michelle said starting to notice that they were standing.
Even thought the kiss was over, their hands stayed together for a while.
"I t-think we should get back" Michelle said turning away from Will, then realizing that she had no idea were she was.
"Not before I know something," He said turning her face towards him.
"And what would that be?"
"That you will never forget me or this moment?"
"How could I? This is my first romantic moment, that is big."
"unlike you, I have to stay here and watch out for more talent. I'm sorry, I would have loved to come with you."
"Ok." Michelle said tears streaming down her face.
"Today you stole my heart, and I love you for that, Michelle. Please don't cry, I want you to take something of mine with you, but you have to promise to take care of her for ever. Ok?"
Michelle nodded, not bothering to wipe the tears from her face. She followed Will out and back towards the Gym class. As they walked they stayed close together, making every last moment they had together last. Michelle started to recognize some of the scenery and they turned the corner and they were back in the gym class. The ambulance was now carrying Holly away on a stretcher. Michelle and Will parted and Michelle went back over to Chris.
"Where the bloody hell have you been?" Chris said raising an eyebrow
"No where..." She said in sort of a drift voice which got heavier as she realized that she was going to have to tell Chris something, she wouldn't believe that Will came up to her just to tell her that she was to move to England. No, she had to talk to Will about how much she could tell her friend. The bell rang and everyone left the gym class chattering about Holly and the giant ice cream cone. Chris and Michelle reached the change rooms and Chris pulled Michelle over to the side.
"Now you listen to me, I am your best friend and I want to know what Will Freedman wanted." She said pinning Michelle to the wall.
"I don't know exactly how much I can tell you yet. I have to talk to him about it. But some of it concerns you so I will tell you eventually ok?" Michelle said breaking Chris' grip on her shoulders.
"Ok... so went are you going to talk to him?" She said staring to get changed back into her school uniform.
"I don't know as soon as possible I guess."
"Cool, well don't forget to study for our Italian test tomorrow."
"Hey maybe Will will be interested in studying with me?" Michelle said sighing, remembering her first kiss with Will.
"hey what about me?"
"Hey you want to know how much I can tell you don't you?" Michelle said leaving the change rooms.
"Yeah, Yeah."
"Well then I will have to talk to Will won't I? She said smirking.
"Ok, Ok well here comes your chance," she said looking down the hall at the tall senior. "I will see you at home later, ok?" and with that she left Michelle to do her duty. Michelle walked up to Will and smiled. He stopped at her feet.
"What do you want?" he said in sort of a snooty mood.
"What is wrong with you?" She said a little taken back.
He winked and started to laugh and he put his strong arm around her.
"What's up?" he asked.
"I was just wondering..."
"if I would help you study for you Italian test?" he finished her sentence nicely.
"Yeah," she said smiling "could you try not to read my mind?" she said giggling
"Yeah, yeah" he said
"So are you going to help me study? We can go to library right now if you like..."
"Well for what you want to talk about, I think we should go some where a little more private."
"I don't like the whole mind reading thing." She said
"hee hee sorry it's a curse, like I said before"
"Ok where is this private place?"
"Follow me." He said taking her hand, making her heart flutter.
They seemed like they were walking forever. They finally came to a tree which had a door shape cut into it. Will tapped three times sharply on the door and it opened to a huge red room. The walls were red and the fire in the fire place lit the room beautifully. Flickers of light dances merrily along the walls and furniture. Will pulled Michelle into the room and shut the door. They both put their bags down at the door and Michelle went over and stretched out on the rug on the floor in front of the fire. Will made his way onto the chesterfield, but came down and held Michelle tightly in his arms.
"You really have to stop reading my mind." Michelle said
"But you like it."
"I know" she said leaning into his chest. "ok well how much can I tell Chris and or her parents?"
"Well, you can tell them that you are going to school in England. Don't mention ANYTHING about witches and wizards or magic or Muggles or Purebloods or the fact that I can read minds." Cradling her like a child.
"So what is my story? My "Grandparents" just showed up one day and said "Hey, you are coming to live with us after all these years"?" Michelle said sarcastically, "There is no way Chris is going to believe me, especially if you are still here."
"What?" He said confused
"Well, you are the one who set this all up, and if you don't go with me then she is going to get really suspicious. She will think you are pulling my leg or something."
"Oh I see, that is a problem."
"Yeah, so we have to get our story straight."
"Ok, tell her that you have been selected by me, a Scout for england, to go to a famous high school there. She doesn't know much about england does she?"
"Not that I know of."
"Ok then that is settled." He said starting to get up.
"Oh yeah..." Michelle said following his lead trying to keep er head clean so he couldn't read her mind.
"Was there anything else you had questions about?" He said picking up his stuff.
"No" Michelle said also picking up her stuff
"Ok well then let us get working on that Italian studying" he said heading up the stairs.
"Where are you going? Why aren't we studying down here?"
He didn't answer her he just merely reached out and took her hand and pulled her up the stairs. They reached the top and he opened the door. They stepped inside and gasped. It was a brilliant room with red velvet draping the walls. A King sized bed was across the room, it to was draped in some sort of red fabric which looked very inviting to Michelle. To the right of Michelle was a massive fire place, which Will had started a fire in. On the floor was a gorgeous rug, which was red and gold in colour. The carpet in this room was a deep shade of red, which contrasted well with the rest of the room. Even thought the room was very inviting, Michelle had a uneasy felling about this place, she didn't know what it was but she decided it was about time for her to get home. She turned around and ran into Will.
"Why do you want to go?" he said, blocking her from the door.
"Because I don't think I belong up here." She said trying to get past him.
"But we have to study Italian." He said grabbing Michelle by the arms.
"NO, NO, NO! Don't you understand? I want to go home!" She said struggling.
"I understand perfectly, but all I want is to study, nothing else. It's just my friend needs the room below us so we had to move up here. So will you just Chill?" He said letting go.
"yeah right." She said raising an eyebrow.
"if you don't believe me, go down and check, he down there now with his girlfriend. But I must warn you, I have no idea what they are doing." He said walking past her and opening his bag in front of the fire.
"Ummm..." she said not knowing what to do.
"Go on Go on, I am not stopping you. Or you can come and sit by the fire with me and study Italian. The choice is up to you." He said not looking at her and involving himself in her Italian notes. She slowly made her way towards him when she realized that there was something in that note book she didn't want him to see. "Oh yeah? At what would that be?" he said flipping through the note book. Michelle dived for the note book but realized that it was to late. He had found the page. The page in which she had worked the entire year on. The page which made Will freeze. On the page, Was Will's name, not once but over 100 times in various styles, sizes and fonts. There was his name with hearts around his name, and M W= pure love 4 ever. There was Michelle Freedman. Every girl had at least one page in there note books dedicated to a guy, well this one blew all those other sheets out of the water. Michelle's face camouflaged into the carpet. She got up and ran to the bed and crawly under the soft comforter. She wished she was any where but here. Not just anywhere, Chris' house. In her own bed at Chris' house. Then she realized the crackle of the fire had disappeared, and the light around her had softened, she also heard a ear shattering scream. She pulled back the covers and almost fainted at what she saw. She was in her and Chris' room and Chris was looking at her with shocked eyes.
"where the hell did you come from?" she managed to spit out.
"I am not sure how I got here..." She said almost lying. She had
an idea but she had to be careful what she told Chris. "What did you
see?"
"Well I was reading my book and I saw the covers of your sheet
just grow. Then you popped out of the top."
"Where is Will?" She asked
"Will? Will isn't here, I thought you said you were going to
study with him?"
"I was and then I ended up here."
Chris looked a little scared. But then she looked anxious. "did
you ask him what you could tell me?"
"Oh..." she said realizing how hard Chris was going to take this.
She had lived under her roof for almost 8 years now and all of a
sudden she picks up and leaves?
"What?" She said getting more and more anxious by the minute.
"Well, there is good news and bad news, what do you want first?"
She said starting to pace, just like Will had done when he had told
her.
"Ummm I guess I will have the good news first." She said looking
taken back by the mention of bad news.
"Ok well I have been chosen go to one of the finest high
schools in the world by Will."
"Ok, Ok, here in Canada?" She said looking excited.
"Well that is the bad news, it is in England." She said not
daring to look at her friends face. She sat down on her bed. The
silence was nerve wrecking. "please say something."
"What do you want me to say? My best friend is going to school in
England." She said fighting back tears.
"Well I am going to go live there also. My grandparents live there,
so." She said knowing she was only making matters worse. She heard
Chris sobbing. She stood up and walked over to her. She gave her a
hug.
"Will you be able to keep in touch?" She said wiping her tears.
"Oh yeah but you will probably get your mail from me in a weird way
during the school year, I am not sure how. Will told me that this
school doesn't work on the regular postage system. But during the
summer it will be email and you can probably come over and visit.
"But then I seem like the 3rd wheel if you make new friends and
everything."
"No way! Never! You will always be my best friend." She gave her
another hug.
"So we will be in touch?"
"All the time. But like I said I am not sure how this school does the
mail so be open to new things. I will ask Will..." She cut herself off
and remembered that Will was still sitting in that tree probably
wondering where she went.
"Oh my god!! Will!" She got up and ran to the door. She didn't know
how but she knew where to go, which ways to turn and how many steps to
take. She found the tree with the door and knocked three times. She
rushed in, completely, ignoring Will's friend and ran up the stairs.
She opened the door and found Will examining the sheets in which she
had disappeared from. She noticed her notes still open on the page of
Will on the floor in front of the fire.
"Where did you go?" He said not moving.
"Ummm I ended up at my house, I don't know how."
"You must be a neitnerual, that is amazing"
"a what?"
"A neitnerual is someone who can Apparate without going threw
training and still be legal. Count yourself lucky, now you just have
to harness that." He said.
"What is Apparating?"
"it is when you can teleport yourself from on place to the other."
"Wow."
"yeah, usually people don't get to Apparate until they pass their test
at 16."
"So I Apparated to Chris' house?"
"It would seem so. Great, another thing I have to resister you for,
the ministry will want to know that you're a neitnerual."
"she saw me "Apparate" into my bed"
Will seemed interested in this bit of news. "really? What did you tell
her?"
"I just said I had no idea how I got there and then she asked me what
I could tell her about what you said. Oh by the way, how does this
school get mail?"
"Owls."
"Really? Do they deliver right to the person you want them to?"
"Yeah they are extremely clever animals."
"Cool. I will have to tell her to watch our for Owls delivering her
mail." she said "And don't worry she already knows about the weird
mailing ways of this school." She said seeing his shocked face.
"oh, ok" He said looking around awkwardly.
There was a great awkward silence, that was only littered with the
sound of the fire crackling.
"So..." Michelle said looking down at her notes that were littered all
over the floor.
"So how long have you worked on that page?" He said turning a little
red in the cheeks.
"oh, that? Ummallyear..." She said quickly, hoping he wouldn't pick up
what she had said.
"really? Wow." He said rubbing the back of his head.
Michelle blushed furiously. The silence was nerve wrecking. Michelle
became very interested in her shoes. She noticed him heading towards
her. She started towards the papers which were still littered on the
ground. She bent down and started to pick them up.
"Don't bother with them, I have seen them all." He said bending down
to her level.
"You know this is an invasion of personnel privacy," She said holding
up the papers.
He shrugged, "Oh well, why didn't you tell me about this massive
crush?"
Michelle opened her mouth to say something when a scream broke any
silence in the room. They both looked at each other then got up and
bolted to the door. They ran down the stairs to find Will's friend and
his girlfriend huddled in a corner, naked under a comforter. They
looked towards the door and standing there was Chris, looking very
confused and angry.

Michelle pulled away from Will's arms.
"Michelle, there is something you need to know though."
"What is that?" She said looking curiously at him

"Not just your parents but your grandparents and even your great grand parents, but that is all I could find out before they got mad at me for not telling them what I wanted your magical background for."
Michelle sat back down on the bench.
"W-why didn't anyone tell me?"
"Well because one they weren't sure if you were magical or not, and two, you were so well adjusted to living life as a Muggle. But now you aren't able to control your magic and we don't need you pouring ice cream cones on everyone you get mad at." He said sitting down beside her

"Ok, Ok, here in Canada?" She said looking excited.
"Well that is the bad news, it is in England." She said not

silence was nerve wrecking. "please say something."
"What do you want me to say? My best friend is going to school in

"Oh yeah but you will probably get your mail from me in a weird way
during the school year, I am not sure how. Will told me that this
school doesn't work on the regular postage system. But during the
summer it will be email and you can probably come over and visit.
"But then I seem like the 3rd wheel if you make new friends and
everything."
"No way! Never! You will always be my best friend." She gave her
another hug.
"So we will be in touch?"
"All the time. But like I said I am not sure how this school does the
mail so be open to new things. I will ask Will..." She cut herself off
and remembered that Will was still sitting in that tree probably
wondering where she went.
"Oh my god!! Will!" She got up and ran to the door. She didn't know
how but she knew where to go, which ways to turn and how many steps to
take. She found the tree with the door and knocked three times. She
rushed in, completely, ignoring Will's friend and ran up the stairs.
She opened the door and found Will examining the sheets in which she
had disappeared from. She noticed her notes still open on the page of
Will on the floor in front of the fire.
"Where did you go?" He said not moving.
"Ummm I ended up at my house, I don't know how."
"You must be a neitnerual, that is amazing"
"a what?"
"A neitnerual is someone who can Apparate without going threw
training and still be legal. Count yourself lucky, now you just have
to harness that." He said.
"What is Apparating?"
"it is when you can teleport yourself from on place to the other."
"Wow."
"yeah, usually people don't get to Apparate until they pass their test
at 16."
"So I Apparated to Chris' house?"
"It would seem so. Great, another thing I have to resister you for,
the ministry will want to know that you're a neitnerual."
"she saw me "Apparate" into my bed"
Will seemed interested in this bit of news. "really? What did you tell
her?"
"I just said I had no idea how I got there and then she asked me what
I could tell her about what you said. Oh by the way, how does this
school get mail?"
"Owls."
"Really? Do they deliver right to the person you want them to?"
"Yeah they are extremely clever animals."
"Cool. I will have to tell her to watch our for Owls delivering her
mail." she said "And don't worry she already knows about the weird
mailing ways of this school." She said seeing his shocked face.
"oh, ok" He said looking around awkwardly.
There was a great awkward silence, that was only littered with the
sound of the fire crackling.
"So..." Michelle said looking down at her notes that were littered all
over the floor.
"So how long have you worked on that page?" He said turning a little
red in the cheeks.
"oh, that? Ummallyear..." She said quickly, hoping he wouldn't pick up
what she had said.
"really? Wow." He said rubbing the back of his head.
Michelle blushed furiously. The silence was nerve wrecking. Michelle
became very interested in her shoes. She noticed him heading towards
her. She started towards the papers which were still littered on the
ground. She bent down and started to pick them up.
"Don't bother with them, I have seen them all." He said bending down
to her level.
"You know this is an invasion of personnel privacy," She said holding
up the papers.
He shrugged, "Oh well, why didn't you tell me about this massive
crush?"
Michelle opened her mouth to say something when a scream broke any
silence in the room. They both looked at each other then got up and
bolted to the door. They ran down the stairs to find Will's friend and
his girlfriend huddled in a corner, naked under a comforter. They
looked towards the door and standing there was Chris, looking very
confused and angry.
