RECAP:
So silently, you make this day, so unreal and never ending,
Standing on the edge believing that this will never end, this will never end, this will never, this will never end
‘I live for them. My Friends. And myself.’ You wiped the tears away, moving on, and away, 30 mins from home. ‘And Dad.’
THE NEXT PART:
Soon enough you landed in the drive of your big county house. Sometimes you felt like a Slytherin because of being a rich pureblood, but then again you weren’t exactly going to be poor with a father having been on the English quiddich team and now trains them practically everyday, and he’s good to, really gone up since he started a few years ago. Probably because he puts his whole life into it. There are only two parts to his life, quiddich and Family.
You walked the rest of the way down the drive and up the large marble porch, pushing on the door which was open as always as cassia left it open for you. You entered into the shining marble entrance hall and closed the door behind you, walking down towards the kitchen. Everything looked almost as you had left it. It’s was hard to clutter such large rooms anyway, but most the time it was just cassia here or what ever other elves she had round.
You walked past your Dad’s office, which was the only place Cassia was not aloud to go in, as she would clean it and Dad liked to be clutter-organized, as in, if everything is messy he knows where about it is as for if it’s clean he has no clue. Inside it was still completely cluttered; you could tell he had been there only two days previously.
When you finally came to the kitchen, Cassia already had many snacks out for if you were hungry and had started cooking dinner, you began to talk to her about everything, as you always had. Fred, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco, everyone. In return she tells you everything going on in her life and all about what your dad is up to.
After dinner you went up to your room to settle back in, Cassia had said she had left the window open as she was tired of the owls scaring her every five minutes. You entered and the room had a warm feeling to it, you looked over everything and eventually came to your desk, where there was a bowl of water and treats and a few letters sat. You went and put your ipod in your speakers and turned it up loud, sat down at your desk and began to look over the letters.
There were six, you opened the first envelope:
Dear H20,
Hope you are well,
You know you could have come here over the holidays! It was nice having you here for the first four weeks of the summer but oh well, I’m sure you wanted to see your father anyway, send him my best Christmas wishes.
I hope you will join me once again in the summer, it would be good to have you over, and you certainly help brighten this dark place up!
Fred is organizing for us all to send you your present early Christmas Eve, so I would be prepared for a whole lot of owls! I’m afraid my present may be a little crummy, but due to not being able to leave the house much it was pretty hard Christmas shopping and Molly has now forbidden me from doing anymore.
I hope you have a lovely Christmas and a good break from school,
See you soon,
Padfoot
You reached into your draw to get out a lot of parchment, quill and purple ink.
Dear Padfoot,
I am well, just a little tiered from the fly back but it only took an hour. I wish I had come to yours due to me spending most of the holidays alone, Dad has arranged for someone to come and ‘baby sit me’ from the 10th till when he gets back on the 20th, when I will have the rest of the holidays with him. Of course I will be at yours in the summer! Wouldn’t want to leave you alone with just the others, you need the complete set!
Yes Fred has told me to send my presents back with the owls, I think it will scare my house elf though, lets just say she had an incident with one and now doesn’t like them around much, she only likes Ri who she seems to have a bond with.
You should know that I don’t care what you get me I will love it anyway. I’m sure you will have a fun Christmas with all that around, give my love to Remus and Tonks if you see them, and the rest of the mob.
I will see you soon,
Love H20

You folded the letter up and put it to the side; you could send all the letters at once that way, as no doubt the rest are going there too. You picked up the next letter and opened it.
Dear Hannah,
I’m missing you loads, I hope your last week of school wasn’t too bad and you had a safe journey home. How are you apart from being apart from your gorgeous boyfriend?
It’s fun here, but we don’t really get to go out much which can be a little boring, and George and I are driving mum mad with all the pranks we keep pulling, and we keep exploding things in our room which isn’t pretty, and either is mum’s reaction. Anyway the Ginny want to say some stuff, so that’s all from me,
Love Fred
Xxxxxxxxx
P.S George says hello hope you are good and he sends his love and hugs.
Hey Hannah,
I hope you are well, just wanted to talk to you about Him (have to say that because Fred won’t leave me alone). I have talked to Hermione but she and Ron are either glued at the hip or arguing, and then all she wants to talk about is how rude he’s being to her. Anyway, he won’t bloody stop talking about her. I know that you dislike her as much as I do, as for Hermione doesn’t mind her, and I’m just getting so bloody sick of it! All!
Wishing you were here,
Ginny
Xxx
P.S Please write back on a separate piece of paper as then I won’t have Fred reading as he as been trying to do now.
Poor Ginny, you were always the one to keep her company as she tended to be a little left out. You began to write back to Fred.
Dear Fred,
I am fine, everything is a little boring, but I will survive. I’m missing you too, and my last week was ok, everyone was really nice and were ditching me for other people which was nice, especially as I thought they might feel like I was using them while you lot were gone. Please don’t drive your mother to insanity, and try to keep the pranks to a minimum. That goes for George too. Tell him this, that I send my love and hugs as well.
Love your darling girlfriend x x x x
You took another piece of parchment.
Hey Ginny,
Please don’t go psycho in my absence. Just start talking about Dean constantly when he does Cho and hope it shuts him up. As for Ron and Hermione, sounds like they will be together soon, and I very much doubt that she will stop talking about him for a while, they are mad about each other.
You can always bring up how much I dislike Cho and what she did to me and see if that makes him feel guilty.
I am all alone apart from Midnight and Cassia.
Wishing I was there too,
Hannah

At this point, it came to dinner, you were quite happy to have something to do, but this was getting tedious, you were hungry, and this way you would have something to do after dinner.
When you came back up the next letter was from Ron, Harry and Hermione, really nothing special in it so you wrote back quickly.
But then you came to the last two letters, just about everyone who you thought would write was in both those letters, so who were the last three from?
You opened the next, of course, Draco. It was a causal letter, repeatedly saying sorry for Serina on the train. He called her a leech which made you laugh.
‘I bet she’s not as half as bad as Pansy though.’ You thought, including this in your reply. You finished it off and put it to one side.
Down to two. You opened it. Oh no, you forgot Percy said he would be getting in contact.
Dear Hannah,
Terribly sorry that I have not been in contact with you for such a long time, I feel absolutely awful that I have been neglecting our relationship so. I trust you are well and to have a lovely Christmas with your own family, much unlike myself who will unfortunately be giving it a miss. I trust you read the letter I sent to Ron a little while ago, I hope he has listened to my advice and you have began to stop seeing Harry Potter, although I have not been hearing good things from Delores Umbridge about you, but I assured her that you are not the trouble maker and that you were probably influenced by other students.
I have to get back to work now, it takes up most of my time these days, but I love it.
Hope you have a good Christmas, will be sending a gift your way.
Write back,
Percy Weasley

‘Oh god. Who did he think he was? Umbridge has been saying things about me?’ you thought. You grunted and put the letter to one side, you would write back I a while.
You reached for the last letter and opened it. A smile crossed your face big style.
