Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER
Chapter 8
October's pov
It was the last day of term. I had already packed all my things so I went down to the great hall where I saw Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the twins. "It wasn't my fault they made me do it," Ron pointed to the twins. "Did not," They said with an evil grin on their faces. I walked over and saw a Firebolt sitting on the table unwrapped. "Who's it from?" Harry and I asked at the same time. "No one knows. Except this came with it," Hermione said holding up a feather that looked like it came from Buckbeak. I looked at Hermione and Harry and they both looked back smiling. Harry then tied the feather to the broom and took the broom outside. We all followed him outside and he mounted his broom then took off at an unbelievely speed. I heard him laugh right before he took off.
I sighed. I really didn't want to go home. "Is everything alright, October?" Hermione asked. I nodded and put my robe on and pinned my ears. "Why are you doing that?" Ron asked. I rolled my eyes, "Because I'm pretty sure muggles would think seeing a girl with fox ears and a tail is a bit strange, wouldn't you?" I asked and Harry and Hermione laughed while Ron turned a little pink. "Well, all of you can come to my house this summer. I heard the world cup will be coming up
soon" I nodded then the trained stopped. "We're here" I said. We had to wait a while though, because the driver said it would be weird if we all came out at once. "I don't want to go home!" whined. They all laughed at me. "Don't worry something weird will be happening at Hogwarts in no time" Harry said rubbing my back. Just then Ginny came in. I swore I saw her glare at me and Harry, but ignored her. She then sat between Harry and I causing me to fall into Ron's lap.
"Sorry, Ron" I said getting up giggling. I saw his ears turn red as I got up and checked if we could go. "Alright we let's go" I said sadly. As I got off the train, I saw the Weasleys', my parents, and a very odd family of three. "Mrs. Weasley! Mr. Weasley!" I said hugging them. "It's been so long, dear" I looked up at their kind faces. "Do you still have the..." She trailed off. I nodded and she patted my shoulder. "You will be joining us over the summer won't you?" Mr. Weasley
asked and I nodded. "Well have a good summer" They called. "Bye!" I yelled and Ron and the rest of the Weasleys' left. I turned to Harry and Hermione. "Well, I guess I'll see you at Ron's then?" I asked. Hermione nodded and Harry, "Well there's something to look forward to". Then he walked over to the odd family who looked frighten. I felt bad, but then my parents walked over to me, "You're friends with Harry Potter?" Mum asked. I nodded and they both looked worried.
I could tell they were hiding something, but I shrugged it off.
