I slept for 2 days straight when I got home. I told my parents I would have to leave soon. That seemed to make them sad. When I finally woke up my parents made me my favorite breakfast.

"Mom, Dad, what's wrong?"

"Sammay...Is there something you are worried about that you aren't telling us?"

I looked down at the table. "No, not really...."

"You sure?"

"Yeah....just...when I got back...promise me you will take care of yourself?"

"What?"

"Just promise."

"A...Alright."

The rest of breakfast was spent in silence

A week later I was home alone. There was a soft knock at my door. I went and opened it and found Sirius and another man in front of me.

"Hey kiddo!" Sirius said grinning. The other man stared at me shocked.

"Hey Sirius! Dumbledore send you to get me?"

"Yep. Oh, and by the way, this is Lupin. Reamus, isn't she exactly."

"Like Lilly." the man finished.

"Nice to meet you."

"Do you have you your things ready kiddo?"

"Yep. Dumbledore told me to repack everything once I'd cleaned it all." I jogged upstairs and got my trunk. Karma jumped into my sweatshirt pocket. Though I had gotten her 3 years ago, she hadn't grown and was still big enough to fit in my pocket.

"Ready?" Sirius looked at me on the stairs smiling.

"Ready."

We arrived at an empty lot. Sirius showed me a piece of paper explaining that Dumbledore was the secret keeper for this house. Together we walked in. I walked through the silent house. The paintings on wall seriously creeped me out.

"Sammay?" the call made me jump. Arms wrapped around my waist and lifted me into the air. I closed my eyes and laughed for the first time in weeks. Fred set me down gently and I opened my eyes. Sirius was giving us a funny look but Lupin just laughed.

"That would explain Fred's bad mood while I was teaching." He said.

I looked down and blushed.

"Sammay!" Ginny nearly tackled me as she ran at me and hugged me. The sudden jolt pulled me from Fred. He was glaring at Ginny who held onto me possessively and stuck her tongue out at him. Lupin was now laughing even harder while Sirius just looked at Fred suspiciously.

"Ginny!" Mrs Weasly called. "Will you help me for a bit in here."

"Coming." she called back. She grudgingly gave me back to Fred who's arm secured around me.

My mind flashed to a talk we had had shortly after the final task.

*Fred and Me were sitting my the Lake. Classes had been cancelled do to Cedric's death.

"Sammay...can I ask you something?" He asked

"Of course." I was sitting a few feet away from him(they weren't dating at this point)

"What happened at Beauxbatons?"

I looked at the ground. For some reason, this conversation was hurting my heart. "What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. It is obvious you and that guy had something going."

I took a deep breath. "After I gave up trying to write you guys.... Seb asked me out...and I said yes..."

"And?..."

"And what?""How far did you go?" His voice was so calm that it took a few seconds to register what he had asked. When it finally did click I jumped to my feet.

"Fred! What do you think I am a Slut?" I turned around to stomp off and curl up in a hole somewhere but Fred grabbed ahold of my wrist.

"Sammay" his tone was pleading.

"I kissed him alright!"

The grip on my wrist loosened then it was gone. "Do you love him?"

"W-what!?"

"You had been dating for months. Any guy dating you would have told you they loved you." He said matter of factly.

"He did tell me that..."

"And?"

"I never... I never told him that I loved him back."

"Why not? You do don't you?"

I felt my body stiffen, I wanted to see his face, but I couldn't turn around.

"You do..." he started. I heard him sigh slightly. "You should tell him before he leaves then. I'm happy for you Sammay." His voice got quieter and quieter.

"Fred... I never told him I loved him because something in my heart told me it was wrong...that I shouldn't"

"It was probably just nerves." He seemed like he was trying to convince himself, not me. "I...I don't think I can be around you anymore Sammay. Goodbye." I heard him get up and start to walk away. The sound made my heart shatter to pieces.

"Fred wait!" I spun around. I felt tears streaming down my face.

He stopped but didn't turn around. "Sammay, I can't see you with him...It...It hurts...I'm sorry...." He started to walk again.

I couldn't take it anymore. I ran forward and wrapped my arms around his waist. I buried my face into his back. I felt him tense at my touch. "Don't leave...please...Don't tell me goodbye...." I sobbed.

"Why do you want me to stay?" the words sounded like they were hard for him to say.

"Because... I love you Fred...." I hadn't realized what I said until I had already said it, but I immediately knew it was the truth. He went completely still. I couldn't even feel him breathing. I cried into his back. He slowly turned around in my grasp. Then he was facing me and my face was buried in his chest. I didn't lift my head. I felt his arms slowly wrap around me. Then his cheek rested on the top of my head.

"I love you too Sammay. I always have."*

I smiled absent mindedly and managed not to notice George who was now standing right in front of me. He tweaked my nose, hard.

"OUCH!" I jumped.

"Earth to May" He said using the nickname Seb had given me, thus earning a glare from Fred.

"Would anyone mind telling me what's going on?" Sirius blurted. Lupin only laughed.

"After the meeting maybe" a voice from the doorway said.

"Dumbledore!" I broke away from Fred and ran to Dumbledore who gave me a hug. "Wait... What meeting."

"You'll find out."

"Wait! She can know but we can't!" George blurted.

"Yes." Dumbledore said simply before walking into the kitchen. "Hello Molly!" His voice carried.
