Ann-Marie could barley concentrate while she was eating, she was just thinking about Alec, She saw him sit down at the table not to far from where she was and gazed at him

"Ann? Ann! Are you OK? You seem a little off, are you still upset bout potions?" said Alicia

"Huh? Oh! No I'm fine, I'm over the whole potions thing, I need to go post this letter, see you two back In the common room OK?" said Ann-Marie as she waved goodbye to her friends, she gave one last look at Alec and walked of, she turned the corner thinking

"Merlin, what the heck is going on? I can't like Alec, he's my best friend's brother, that would be just weird" But then she remembered how her mum was her dad's best friends sister, he had been OK with it, and her mum and dad were the sweetest couple she knew.

"Even if Alicia would be OK with it he doesn't even know I exist, Its not going to happen" she thought as she walked up to the owlery, she looked and saw her new owl she had just got, she had called it Zarana she had heard that word somewhere and thought it sounded pretty, she looked it up and saw it was the name of an extremely rare flower, the type you only got in the wizarding world. She gave the letter to Zarana and said

"Get this to my parents as fast as you can OK?" she said, with that Zarana squawked and flew of. The next day she was sitting in the common room (in a daydream as Alec had just walked past and given her a smile) and Zarana flew in the window. Ann-Marie opened the letter she had and read it

Ann

Thing's are well here, your father's decided to start playing quidditch and has signed a contract with puddlemere united. And is Snape giving you a hard time? He taught me and your father, he's horrible to all Gryffindor's, but unfortunately for you he's even more horrible to those with that last name potter, it's because your grandfather (from your dad's side) went to school with him, they were both student's then and they didn't get on very well, he was equally as horrible to your father. He used to be a death eater and was responsible for Dumbledore's death, he's only not in azkaban because it there was evidence that Dumbledore had asked him to kill him and that he was on our side (I say they should have thrown him anyway). And I remember Slughorn, (Well I remember her dad) Her father favored the well connected and talented, he had a slugclub for people like that, your father and I were in it, your father because, well he was the-boy-who-lived everyone was admiring him when Slughorn came, it was just after that department of mysteries thing we told you about, and me because I preformed that bat bogey hex I showed you for sticking his nose in other people's business, I hope his daughter's different.

Keep your Chin up

Mum and Dad

The year flew by pretty uneventful and she left home on the last day. She got to the platform and saw her parents waiting, her mum walked up and gave her a hug, as she did Ann-Marie saw Alec walk past.

"Mum, Mum" said Ann-Marie

"What is it?" asked Ann-Marie's mum, she looked in the direction Ann-Marie was looking and saw Alec

"Oh, sorry sweetheart, didn't know you got yourself a boyfriend, he's good looking isn't he" said her mum in a jokey way

"Mum, shut up he's not my boyfriend," said Ann-Marie

"Okay, sorry, I get it, I was young once to, but bare in mind when I was your age your father thought I was a stalker, and look at us now" said he mum, Ann-Marie smiled and walked to her dad

"Have a good year?" he asked

"It was the best, well except Snape"

"I hear you, I never liked him much either" said her dad.

They left for home, when they arrived Ann-Marie walked in amazed, she forgot what her house was like, it felt so different but she knew it was the same, she looked at the clock, it was still the same one that her grandmother had given them, there were a lot more handles originally, but now there were three, all pointing to home, she looked at the stairs, there were still photo's going up them, all moving, one of her parent's wedding, she loved that photo, her parent's had gotten married in secret because of her dad was after Voldermort at the time, she looked at the next one, it was the day Ann-Marie was born, she could see her parents love for each other in her eyes, and she could see the care for the Ann-Marie as they held her, there was one of Ann-Marie's fourth birthday, her uncles were there, including uncle Ron and aunt Hermione, there were her grandparents, and Lupin, he was a family friend. They all looked so happy, last of there was the one of her parents first kiss together, he mum had ran up to her dad, threw her arms around him and he kissed her, it was the sweetest photo ever. She thought to herself in her head

"I'm home…"
