"Chelsey...are you.. are you sure?" your father ask. "Yes Chelsey, you must be posotive about this." your mother says after him. You stand there infront of your parents sitting on the couch together. They looked almost perfect in that livingroom, together, well aside from the look on their faces. You werent sure why they looked perfect. But they did. Maybe it was because you werent in the picture with them. You always felt like you didn't belong with them. I mean sure you loved your parents. And you knew they loved you. You just got in the way of things sometimes with their filming job and their love for the wild. They looked young and excited, awaiting for a new adventure of filming here in the wild outback. You snapped out of your thoughts and back into reality. You nodd your head. "I am serious, and this is what I want. Please, I know I havnt been very.. uh.. whats the word.. keen... to this subject. But I did a lot of thinking. And well. Im sure of my choice." you say with out a doubt in your mind.
"Well alright then. We will take care of it. If you are sure. No changing your mind." your dad states one last time. You just simply nod your head once again and say "Yes sir, I am." And with-in 3 days. It happend.
"Hurry up Chels! Your going to be late!" your mom yells into your room. "I know I know!" you squeel as you scurry around your room, double checking everything. "Now Chelsey! We have to leave!" your dad yells up the steps. "Im in the car .. leaving.. with your mother..come on!" you here him say almost laughing as he shuts the front door. You let out a scream and run down the stairs with some things in your hands and fly out the front door, closing it behind you, and jumping into the backseat of your fathers car. "Ready kiddo?" he ask as he pulls out the drive way. "Yea dad, I think I am."
Yep. Thats right. You were going back to ((Drum rolls please)) drum rolls Hogwarts School of WitchCraft and Wizardry. You had thought it over again and again. You wern't happy in Australia. Yes you loved being with your parents. And you were going to miss them. And it sounded stupid, because you were only at Hogwarts for a year. And you were only going to be spending one more year there. But it was like home. It was where you belonged. You couldn't discribe the feeling. But it was there. You needed to be with your friends. So you told your parents. And you apologized for all the trouble you caused. And they agreed to let you go back. Actually they were just happy you werent sulking around anymore, and after you discussed it with them. They made all the arangments for you to go back. No one knew about it accept Dumbledore, it would be a great surprise to many. And you were now on your way to a Portkey to take you there.
You smile as you walk up to familiar big oak doors of the castle. You were back. You ran up the steps and into the Castle. The main hall was empty, but of course. It was dinner time. Everyone was in the Great Hall in the middle of Dinner. You run past some paintings that looked a little shock to see you. Some were even yelling out 'Chelsey your back!' but you didn't care. You had to get to Ron, Harry, and Hermione. They were the only people you really cared about right now. You run up to the Great Hall's doors, they were closed like they always were during a dinner meal. You stop and take a deep breath. This was it, you were really back at Hogwarts. You started to shake a little. You didn't really think of what it would be like when you first got back. And at this moment you had exactly two choices that you could think of. Walk right into that hall, be welcomed back with cheers and happy faces, not to mention over-whelmed with memories, both good and bad. Or turn around, and run back out of the Castle to the portkey. And no one would ever know you had stepped foot back into this place. People would come out and walk right where you had been standing at just minutes before. And never guess, that you.. Chelsey Borton, the girl who ran away from her problems and fears, had come back. You sighed "Just do it Chelsey, Its to late to turn back now" you say outloud to yourself. And with that, you took another deep breath and opened the doors. And there infront of you were the 4 tables, one ment for each house. And then a table before all them with the all the teachers, and there standing up in the middle was Dumbledore. You took a quick glimse around the hall, no one had noticed you come in. But almost instantly as you walked into the hall Dumbledore spoke, "Students! Settle down settle down!" he says gently but loud enough to make everyone stop what it was they were doing and turned to look at Dumbledore. "Ahh, yes. Thank you. My deep apologizes for inerupting your meal. But I would like to inform you, and ask for your help to welcome back a very special girl who attended Hogwarts with us last year, Miss Chelsey Borton!" He says excitedly as he opens his arm out to gesture torwards you. And as soon as the words came out of his mouth everyones head turned and looked straight at you. "Welcome back Miss Borton! Please come here" Dumbledore says to you as he waves his hand for you to go forward. And as you walked what seemed like forever to the front of the room everyone that you could tell was cheering. You heard your name being said around the whole hall. Smiling red faces all excited that you were back. As you walked to searched the Gryffindor table for Harry, Hermione, and Ron. But couldn't spot them due to everyone standing up on the benches and throwing their hats into the air. Your eyes quickly looked at the Slytherin table out of almost what seemed like a habbit. But before you could even try to spot Draco you turned them back onto Dumbledore. You reached the front of the room, and Dumbledore who had some how manage to be infront of the table now welcomed you into his arms and gave you a big hug. "Welcome back Miss Borton" you heard the familar voice of Snape say. You turned and looked at him sitting at the table next to Dumbledores empty chair and he was smiling at you. For some reason Snape had seemed to favor you, as he had Draco. "Thank you Professor!" you say back to him then turn back to the GreatHall. "Alright students, Thank you for giving Miss Borton the warmest of welcomes. Chelsey, you may sit where you want for tonight, since this is your first day back. But after tonight please do stay with your House at dinner meals. And if im not mistaken, your house is Slytherin?" Dumbledore ask. And you didn't even have to nod your head because the roaring sound of cheer comming from the Slytherin table had already answered his question. "As you were!" Dumbledore said. And you quickly looked to see where the Trio were sitting, but you didn't have to worry about that because all three of them were standing up looking as if they were about to run, and piss themselves at the same time. You Smile in delight and take off running at them. "Chelsey!" they all yell in confusion together as you pull them all into a big hug. "What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell us.. whats going on?" was all they could say. You let go of them and smiled. "Im back! Im back to finish the year, I couldn't stand it in Australia and I missed you all so much! Plus Hogwarts is my home. I was wrong! You guys were right. I feel like a git! I'm so sorry!" you say almost on the verge of tears. You weren't sure if they were tears of happiness or embarrasment. But you didn't really care. "OH don't be sorry you stupid girl! I just dont know wether to kill you or hug you!" Hermione yells at you as she pulls you into a hug. You hug her back. "I missed you!" she says not letting go of you. "I missed you too!" you say. Hermione finally let go of you but as soon as she did Harry hugged you. "Remind me to beat you when there arnt so many witness's around will you?" he says laughing. You kiss him on the cheek, "Will do" you say laughing as well. He lets go and you see Ron standing there. He looked a little nervous and his cheeks were red, you giggled a little as he pulled you into a hug as well. "You are one crazy girl you know that right?" he ask not letting go of you. "I know! I know! Im crazy and stupid and nieve and just.. oh i am an idiot!" you say again. He lets you go but doesnt move out from infront of you. "Crazy yes, but you arnt stupid. You just lost your sanity for a little while there." Ron says laughing. "Come on sit down you have loads to explain!" Hermione demands as she pulls you down onto the bench to the left of her. Ron sat down on your right, and Harry next to Hermione. They crowded around you as tight as possible, you thought it was infear of you getting up and running away. As you sat there with your friends everyone kept walking over to say hello and welcome you back, and say how much they had missed you. Even some teachers did this as well. You smiled a wide smile, and your face was lit up. For the first time in a long time you were really truely happy.
