My words got lost in the cold breeze as I hurried inside the carriage to find my four best friends trying to stop themselves from falling over.

"Were you all listening?" I asked as I regained my strength.
I wasnt going to cry at least not until I was at home alone.
"No!" They all replied at the same time. I rolled my eyes at them and moved which caused them all to fall over on the ground. I smiled to myself.

"See Karma does exist" I said to Stacie and sat down while they got back on and closed the door.

"Shut up" She replied and leaned against Harry. I looked back to see Oliver standing there, I couldve sworn I saw a tear fall down his eyes but I guess that was just my imagination.

Bye Oliver. Goodbyemy love.

"Im going to miss you so much Stacie" said once we were outside in the parking lot. I was going to my grandfathers while she was going back to my aunt and uncles place.

"Dont worry you can apparate any time you want" I said reminding her.

"Right, take care" I nodded once more and hugged her.

"See you soon" I said loudly as the driver shut the door. I had already said goodbye to Ron and Harry and Hermione and trust me there was no need for sad goodbyes since we were planning on hanging out soon.
I sat there as the driver drove and watched as cars and people seemed to zoom by me. It was weird not being in Hogwarts anymore. I was going to miss all the classes and my father. Now that I thought about it he hadnt even said goodbye. It really made me feel unloved but I never felt loved by him in the first place. Sometimes I wondered if he even loved me.

"Here we are" The driver came to my side and motioned for me to go out. The house was not a house, It was indeed the biggest mansion in the history of the world and you know what sucked? That no one else could see it unless they were wizards.

"Thank you" I said nicely as the driver put down my luggage.

"No problem" He said nicely. The driver was actually good looking. I hadnt noticed before but now that I saw him it seemed like he was actually pretty young. I decided not to ask him since it would seem that I was hitting on him. Have a good day I said and entered to find two house elves smiling up at me.

"Its so nice to have you here"

"Yeah, master Dumbledore has told us so much about you"

"Oh yes, he said you were pretty, he was right"

"Yes. My name is Rusty"

"and mine is Runsty" I bit my lip to stop myself from laughing since they were actually really funny. They were jumping up and down and smiling at me like they had never seen a 17 year old.

"Come this way, your room is this way" Rusty the elf said motioning me to follow him up the flight of shiny wooden stairs.
I nodded and followed him. I couldnt help but smile.
"Dumbledore says youll be staying for a while?"

"Uh yeah, Im actually really excited about it" I said I was beginning to sweat from walking up so many stairs.

"You should be, this place is the most fun place ever"

"Oh yes, and Dumbledore is the nicest person ever, he takes care of us like a father "

I smiled "Yeah, hes an amazing person" They looked up and nodded.

"Well Im glad you think that but youre an amazing person as well" I turned to see my grandfather. He was eye to eye with me because he was standing 2 stairs behind.

"Grandpa, when did you get here?" I asked feeling a bit stupid.

"Just now, are you hungry?" I nodded.

"Well then dinner will be served soon" He replied and helped the tiny elves with my suitcase, I felt bad that I hadnt helped before. I was too busy admiring them to even realize that they needed the help.

"What are we having?" I asked as we rounded the corner of the hall. It was the longest hall in the history of the world.

"Here it is, I thought you might like this room and were having salmon" I smiled.

"Thats my favorite" I said opening the door and gasping. The room was white with white sheets and the window had white silky curtains, the view was beautiful, the trees and the breeze and the small pond. It was like being in paradise.

"This is wonderful"

"Lets just say someone helped me out with the decorations and the dinner" He gave me one his mischievous smiles and turned.

"Ill call you when dinners ready"

"Grandpa?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you," I said and sat down on the bed.
"It was my pleasure, Im glad to have you accompany me" I smiled as he closed the door behind him. I lied down and yawned. It was all beginning to sink in now. There would be no more Oliver. No nothing, he would get married soon and what? Id have to marry Draco. I shut my eyes to stop myself from crying. As for now I just wanted to sleep and to forget everything. I have to move on.

"I cant wait for you to meet them" I smiled as I walked inside Rons house.

"Oh dear, look at you, youre one of the most beautiful girls ever, come in, come in, the boys should be down in a few minutes" I smiled at Mrs. Weasley as she dragged me inside. Ron was rolling his eyes and walking away quickly to hide his red face. Hermione was right next to me just smiling like she was the happiest girl in the world. It had been almost a month since we had last seen each other. I had spent most of my time with my grandfather playing chess and learning more magic skills from him. As for Stacie, she and Harry were on a vacation togetherwhere? I have no idea.

"God, Ron you never told me your mom is so adorable" I said nicely and sat down on the couch. Their house was so cute. I wouldve given anything to have such a warm home instead of the big place that my grandfather has.

"Yeah, if you want to call that adorable" He said and let out a loud sigh.

"Ronald, you are so-"
"You must be Alexia" I turned and felt my heart stop, and no it wasnt because I was attracted to the twins but because standing right behind them was Oliver.

"Youre even prettier than I imagined" The other one said and came over to me. I smiled as he kissed my hand.

"So nice to meet you, Im Fred" He said bowing his head.

"Ignore my brother, hes a silly mate, Im George" I giggled.

"Im Alexia, although I think you know" They nodded and looked at Oliver and winked.

"Olivers told us so much about you" I looked down and looked at Oliver. I didnt think Id ever see him again and yet here he was standing in front of me.

"I didnt know Oliver was going to be here" I said oddly.
"We invited him They twins said in unison". I suddenly got it. This had all been a set up.
"Oh, I think Im going to go help Mrs.Weasley in the kitchen" Hermione said quickly.

"Me too" Ron said and followed Hermione.

"Huh" I said and looked at the twins.

"I forgot something upstairs" Fred said rather quickly. "Yeah, Ill help you get it" I chuckled as they hurried away.

"Can they be more obvious?"
Oliver chuckled." Do you really want me to answer that?" I shook my head and stood there fidgeting.

"I think I should leave" I said eyeing him.

"No, please dont, I just wanted to see you, one last time" He whispered. I stood back quickly knowing very well what would happen if I didnt.

"Youve seen me, I think I should leave now" I said again.

"Dont" He said and grabbed me by surprise.
Please, let me go" I said quietly and looked away from his eyes.

"Ally, please, just one day, thats all I ask, I just want to talk to you" I shook my head.

"My soon to be husband is waiting for me back at my grandpas house, I really have to go"

"Why are you lying to me?" He said and made me look at him.

"Because." I turned at the sound of clearing their throat.
"Tracy" I said and steppe away from Oliver.

"Hi" She said trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.
"I was just leaving" I said and grabbed my purse that I had put down on the couch.I couldn't bear looking at her.

"You should stay for dinner, Mrs. Weasley would like that" I looked from her to Oliver.

"I really have to go" I said and closed my eyes.
"Please" I heard Tracy and Oliver say at the same time but I just apparated. I couldnt take it any longer. I hurried inside my room and slammed the door loudly. Why do I always have to see you ? leave me alone! I said loudly and threw my purse across the room. I fell to the floor and just lied there.

"Alexia?" I looked up from where I sat by the lake. I put my paintbrush down and smiled at my grandfather who was observing my painting.

"You are very talented" He said and smiled.

"Youre just saying that" I said and turned around. "Where are you going?" He hesitated before answering.

"A wedding" A wedding? Oh
"Oh" I replied knowing what he meant by a wedding. He meant Olivers wedding.

"I wasnt going to go but-"

"Im glad youre going, I know Tracy will love if youre there for her wedding."
This, I know, is probably the best day of her life and my worst.
"Are you going to be ok?" He asked and lifted my chin. I nodded, thankfully I wasnt even close to crying. I couldnt cry anymore my eyes were probably too dry to cry anymore.

"yeah, Ill be fine" I said quietly. I wasnt going to be fine and I knew it.

"Okay, Ill be back soon" My grandfather looked at me again. I could tell he was skeptical about leaving.

"Ill be fine," I repeated and continued painting. I heard him let some air and then he disappeared. I stopped painting and just stared at the painting. I could feel my stomach doing all kinds of things. I thought I was going to pass out. I stood and made my way inside. I was hungry so I was going to make myself some food, and probably puke after since I was filling sick and hungry at the same time. I made my way into the kitchen and found a paper right on the counter. Curiosity took over me and I ended up picking it up.

You are invited to Tracy Lands and Oliver Woods wedding. Roselyn Church at 2:00 pm
