My fifth year at Hogwarts had come and gone. Everyone was finishing packing all of their belongings into their trunks. I reached and grabbed the pile of clothes that had built up under my bed and crumbled them all up and threw them into my trunk. Dom was sitting on hers trying to get it to all fit. Finally she just shrunk some of her clothes so she had enough room to close it.

We all took one last look around the room, partly to make sure we didn't forget anything, but also because we were going to miss it. It was hard to think of going home for a couple of months when we had spent so long here.

As I was dragging my trunk down the stairs of the castle, I mentally said goodbye to everything. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like seventh year, when I'd be saying goodbye for the last time. Luckily I still had two long years till that.

Dom, Sarah, Nicola, and I got into a carriage with Roxy. We all turned around and watched the castle until it was out of sight.

"So what are you doing this summer Weasleys?" asked Nicola.

"We are going to Nana's in two weeks and celebrating Rosie's birthday!" Roxy punched me on the arm. Every summer all of the cousins spend a week at Nana Weasley's house and the parents come for the weekend. It's a big family bonding thing, brings all the siblings back together, plus the Dursleys. Nana insist on them being a part of the family too. This year, my birthday was going to be on that Friday.

We discussed my birthday until we arrived at the station. All the students boarded the train. Nicola went to sit with her boyfriend, and Dom went off to find the guy she had been talking to. Sarah and I found Albus and Lily in a compartment. Scorpius was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's the slimy one?" I asked.

Al shrugged. "I don't know, he said he was going to find someone and left. I'll see him later anyways."

Relieved I wouldn't have to see Malfoy, I sat down across from them. I found that things were still awkard with Malfoy. We still bickered all the time, but I didn't hate him as much as I used to.

The train ride went quickly and soon we were pulling into Kings Cross Station. Mum and Dad were waiting at the platform for us. I hugged Sarah and Nicola goodbye.

"See you in two weeks Rosie!" said Dom as she gave me a quick hug, and left to find her parents. As I watched her run off, I saw Scorpius in the distance. He was standing next to his f ather. Draco Malfoy looked like an older version of Scorpius; he was tall, and had the same hair and eye color. Mrs. Malfoy, on the other hand, had jet black hair though Scorpius seemed to have gotten some of his facial features from her.

Scorpius saw me and gave me a little salute. I couldn't help but break out into a smile.

"Who you smiling at Rosie?" asked my dad.

"Just a friend. Can we stop at McDonalds? I've gone too long without eating an Oreo McFlurry." Both of my parents laugh. When my mum was a kid, her and her parents would always stop and eat at a muggle restaurant to celebrate the start of summer. Don't get me wrong, the food at school is great! But there is something about those McDonald's french fries...

...two weeks later...

"Rosie! You made it!"

I stepped out of the fireplace at Nana Weasley's, dusting of the soot on me. I had been looking forward to coming for the past two weeks. This was my favorite part of the summer, when all of the family gathered at Grandma and Grandad's house.

"Hi Nana! Anyone else here yet?"

"You're the first one dear! Though I suspect the Potters will be coming any moment."

We heard the fire roar behind us, and Hu fell out, with James on top of him. "Oof! Well hello Hu, fancy meeting you here!" The boys got up and dusted themselves off. James looked around. "Hello Nana, Rosie."

The fire came to life once more, and Albus tumbled out. He looked up with a big grin. "Afternoon Nana, Rosie, Hugo. Almost dropped my bag in the trip, that would have been bad. Probably would of ended up in some muggle's living room." He came over and gave Nana a hug. Lily appeared in the fireplace, landing with much more grace than her two brothers. Her brilliant red hair had specks of dirt in it, and she wore a grand smile.

"Hello. Are we the only one's here?"

Nana came over and gave her a hug. "Yes, I don't think the others are coming till later. Fred's having the kids work at the store, Molly and Lucy are helping Audrey at the office today, and who knows when the rest will show up. Granddad put up the tents last night, so you can dro'sp off your things!" We walked through the kitchen to the backdoor, where outside two tents stood up not far from the house. Albus and James went to the left one, and Lily and I ducked inside the right one. Inside was a central sitting area, a small kitchenette, and four bunk beds pressed up against the side. Being the first one's here meant we got first chose on the beds, so I quickly nabbed a top bunk in the corner.

"Rosie! I have a surprise for you!" Nana called from the porch. I threw my bag onto the bunk, and ran outside.

"What is it Nana?"

"We thought we'd give you a little early birthday gift. Go look in the kitchen."

I looked at Lily and she just smiled. Something was up. I walked slowly into the kitchen.

"Sarah?!"

Sarah was sitting at the kitchen table with a bag at her feet. "Hi Rose!"

I ran an hugged her. "What are you doing here?"

"I've come for your birthday! Your grandparents invited me to stay all week here!"

Al and James walked into the kitchen . A blush creeped across Sarah's face. Al kicked at the ground. "Hey Sarah."

"Hi Albus. Hi James."

"Glad you made it," James said, "Al hasn't stopped talking about how excited he is that you are staying with us this we-Ow!" Albus kicked James in the shin and gave him a death glare, daring him to say another word.

"Wait you knew she was coming?" I asked.

"Sure," said James, "We invited her to make up for-"

"Uhh James, maybe we shouldn't tell her," interjected Al.

"Tell me what?"

James crossed his arms. "Well I think that we should tell her right away, rip off the band aid early."

"Tell ME WHat?"

Al sighed. "Well...Scorpius is staying with us this weekend."

I stared at him in disbelief. "What?"

"His parents are going out of town, so he's coming Friday morning. I know it's your birthday, and Scorp and you aren't that fond of each other...but you have Sarah! So it won't be too bad!"

"Come on Rosie, it'll be fun!" said James, "We can pull a prank or two on him to drive him mad!"

"You will do no such thing," said Nana as she walked into the kitchen. "You will all behave yourselves while we have guests. Now Rose, why don't you give Sarah a tour?"

I told Sarah to leave her bag in the kitchen, and I'd give her a tour of the house. I showed her each of the rooms where the adults would be staying. When we reached the attic I explained how this used to be were the ghoul lived, but since it died, Nana had reverted it to a guest bedroom, and this is where Uncle Dudley and Aunt Katherine stayed. We came back downstairs and out to the backyard.

"There's the chicken coop, that's the broom shed, and over yonder is a pond. If you go down that path a little ways, you'll find where we play Quidditch. We have bleachers set up and everything. And we will be staying in these tents. Left is the boys, right the girls."

Sarah looked around in awe. "This place is so home-y!"

I laughed, "Wait till everyone arrives. It will feel like a zoo!." We went inside the girl's tent and Sarah picked the top bunk beside mine so we could talk to each other from our beds.

"So," I said, after making sure the boys weren't nearby, "What's the deal with you and Al?"

"I don't know! I mean he is nice to me, but I can't tell if he wants to you know, date. Like he hasn't made a move since the Remembrance Ball! That was forever ago!"

"Oh he definitely likes you," I reassured her.

"Maybe he'll do something this week," she sighed, "We do have a whole week. But changing the subject, how do you feel about Malfoy staying here for three days?"

"I don't know. I don't think I'll see that much of him, I mean there will be like thirty people here. I just don't want him to make me angry on my birthday..."

"I'm sure he'll be nice to you, remember how nice he was to you at the ball?" I had told Sarah all about that night. She is my best friend after all.

"Maybe..." I responded. My feelings toward the subject were very conflicting. On one hand I don't him to ruin my birthday. On the other, deep, deep down, I was actually looking forward to seeing him again.

The next chapter will probably be just a family chapter, because I love writing about their family. Honestly I could write out every detail of their lives. Also their sixth year won't skip around as much. Thanks for reading!
