The Trip

Most of the year went by quickly. George and I were still dating and thins were going great. Me and all my friends were becoming very close and we were all doing really well in school. Dad and I were getting pretty close too. He was even beginning to like Fred and George. He didn't show it during classes and such but we sometimes saw him during our Hogsmead visits and they were nice to each other. When it was just me and dad he even said that they had a good sense of humor and he thinks he could learn to like them.
It turns out that Devon and Angelina became very flirty during the snowball fight and even visited each other over the break. He has come to visit during the weekends and the two of them started to date. All of us, the 7th years anyway, passed our apparation tests and got permissions from Dumbledore and my mom to apparate to MA. So that Angelina and George, plus all of my other friends could meet all of mine and Devon's friends.
We went to Hogsmead and apparated from there. When we arrived at my house, my mom, Devon, and all our friends were there waiting for us. I ran over and gave my mom a big hug, followed by all my friends.

"Oh my God Krissi, we missed you SO much!!" said someone.

"Yeah, we haven't seen you in so long!" said another.

"Honey are you having fun? What about your dad, are you two getting along ok? Have you made any new friends?" my mom rushed out.

"Mom, yes, yes, and yes. Yes I'm having fun, yes dad and I are getting along, and yes I've made new friends. A bunch actually, but four of them can't apparate yet, so they aren't here. I've been unofficially adopted into a family of red heads. They love me, what can I say."

"Ok sweetie, I'm glad you're having a good time. So introduce us to your friends." mom said.

"Ok, let's see, This is my boyfriend George, his twin brother Fred, this is Lee, and those three girls over there are Katie, Angelina, and Alicia. The four that are missing are Ginny, and Ron, the twins little brother and sister, and also Harry and Hermione, Ron's best friends."

"THis is my mom, Kendra Kincaid. And you all know Devon, so these guys are Jon, Mike, Kyle, James, and Jason. They all go to the SMI, or the Salem Magical Institute for Boys."

"What was the school that you went to?" asked Alicia.

"We, meaning me and all the girls behind me, went to the SWI, the Salem Witches Institute. Ok, so left to right, these girls are Amy, Adrienne, Melanie, Jessica, and Kelly. The twelve of us have been friends since 2nd grade."

"Wow, so you guys know each other really well huh?" asked Angelina.

"Yeah we do," said Kelly.

"So which of you is dating our Devon now?" asked Jessica.

"That would be me." answered Angelina.

"Ok, you'll have to come over more often so we can become friends. All of you actually. If you're Krissi's friends, you're our friends."

"Ok, guys, I'm really sorry to cut this short, but if we're gunna go sight seeing, we need to make it snappy, we need to be back to school in two hours." I said, pulling George over towards the door.

"Ok, lets go. You know you are pretty damn lucky that my dad works for a transportation company. We get to borrow a stretch limo, and it's free since daddy's driving." said Amy.

"Yes! Amy I love you. Actually I s'pose I should go tell Mr. D how much I love him huh?

C'mon lets go." I said.
We all walked out and climbed into the limo. We went all around Boston, showed the guys the SMI and SWI, and went into Abington, this little wizarding town, sorta like Hogsmead, but slightly more populated. We had a blast. We had half an hour left so we went out to eat at our favorite hang out, grabbed an ice cream and headed back to my house. When we got there, we said our goodbyes, said we visit again soon, and apparated back to Hogsmead, then basically ran all the way back to Hogwarts, just in time to make it back to the common room.
The rest of the year was pretty much the same. Hogsmead trips, trips to Mass, homework, quidditch and pranks. Towards the end of the year, we were studying like crazy for our N.E.W.T.S and I had apparently been appointed to help the twins and Lee study. The girls knew what was going on and even helped out a bit. The four of us girls spent most of our time in the Library, with Hermione who was studying for her O.W.L.S and we were able to convince the guys to come and study every once in a while.
