I mostly stayed in my dorm for the next week, until Dumbledore needed to make an announcement to every.
We all gathered in the Great Hall and Dumbledore began to speak, "Today, we acknowledge a really terrible loss." he began, "Cedric Diggory, as many as you may know, was exceptionally hard working, very fair minded, and most importantly, a fierce, fierce friend. Now for that therefore I think you have the right to know exactly how he died. You see, Cedric Diggory was murdered, by lord Voldemort. The ministry of magic does not wish me to tell you this. But not to do so I think would be an insult to his memory."
Harry, so was seated right next to me, reached over and held my hand, it didn't really help though.
"This death reminds me, it reminds us, that even if we come from different places and speak with different tongues our hearts beat as one. Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain. You remember that. And we will celebrate a boy who was kind and honest and...brave and true, right to the very end." Dumbledore finished.

Today Harry and I are going home to the Dursley's, we got on the train.
As always I sat with Harry, Hermione, and Ron.
I started thinking about Voldemort and everything that happened, then I started thinking about Fred. I really couldn't be dating anybody right now, I had to break up with him.
Then he knocked on the door, what perfect timing.
"Uh, I'll be right back." I stood up, Fred and I went into an empty compartment.
"Astra-" Fred began.
"I-I think we should break up." I told him.
His face changed to a worried one.
"Wa-what? That's so-why?" Fred changed his voice too.
"Sorry..." I whispered.
"I'm really really confused...you ignore me for a week-"
"I ignored everyone for a week." I stopped him.
"And now you want to break up. Can I know why?" he looked at me seriously.
"Because I can't date anybody right now, I'm sorry, I really am." I felt sick.
I rushed out of the compartment and went back with my friends.
"Are you ok?" Harry asked me.
"Yea...I'm fine." I faked a smile.

Harry and I got to the Dursley's house.
Harry and I share a room because the Dursley's couldn't care less. At least we have our own beds though. I guess that's something.
Uncle Vernon called Harry and I into the living room, like he did every year once we returned from Hogwarts.
Dudley and Aunt Petunia were on the couch, Dudley looked scared as always.
"You two should already know this," Uncle Vernon began, "BUT no magic in this house! I don't want to see wands! I don't want to see your owls outside! I don't even want to see letters from your freaks of friends! Nothing!" he yelled at us.
"What about phone calls?" I asked just to agitate him more.
"Nothing!" he yelled.
"Got it." Harry clenched his jaw.
Harry and I went upstairs.
"They just don't understand." Harry mumbled.
"Obviously." I muttered.

A week into summer and I'm already getting annoyed with the Dursley's.
I crept downstairs because I was hungry when I heard Uncle Vernon on the phone, he was yelling into it.
"Don't call this number again, freaks!" Uncle Vernon yelled.
He hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" I asked him.
"A freak! Just like you!" he yelled.
"Let me talk to them." I said sternly.
"I said no phone calls! Go back upstairs!" Uncle Vernon yelled at me.
"Give me the phone." I looked at him harshly, "You barred up my window, I can't get my letters, only through the front door I can, have you been putting them in the rubbish?!" I exclaimed.
He laughed rudely, "Of course I have been!"
The phone began to ring again, Uncle Vernon hung it up.
"Give me my letters." I told him.
The phone rang again, he was about to hang it up but I pulled out my wand and pointed it at him, "Get away from the phone."
"You can't use magic outside of school." he stuttered.
"I'll make an exception for you, get away from the phone." I told him harshly.
He backed away. I picked up the phone while still pointing my wand at him.
"Hello?" I said into the phone.
"Astra! Finally!" Ron exclaimed.
"Astra?! Did you say Astra?!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Y-yea it's Astr-" Ron said happily.
"Move." I heard one of the twins say, I couldn't tell who it was, I would have to see them, but I was hoping it was George.
"Astra, they're trying to take the phone from m-" Ron began.
"Hey, Astra. It's Fred." Fred said into the phone.
"H-hey, Fred." I smiled but I still got nervous.
"Ok, that's enough-" Uncle Vernon began.
I pointed my wand at him and be backed up.
"Astra, Fred misses you so much!" I heard Ginny yell with a slight laugh.
"Shove off, Ginny." Fred responded.
"It's true! He won't stop talking about yo-" Ron began to yell, "Ow! Fred, why'd you hit me?!"
"Let me talk to her." Ginny said.
"Give me like 5 minutes." Fred said as I heard a kicking noise, "What the hell, Ginny!" Fred yelled in pain.
I heard someone snatching the phone, then running sounds, and then a door closing and locking.
"Ok, I locked the door." Ginny said out of breath, "How have you been?"
"Good." I couldn't help but laugh a bit, "What just happened?"
I looked to the corner of my eye and saw Harry.
"W-who is it?" Harry asked.
"Your girlfriend." I responded.
"Wow, thanks Astra." Ginny said sarcastically.
"So now Harry has a freak girlfriend?! It just keeps getting worse, Petunia!" Uncle Vernon yelled.
"It's Ginny." I told Harry.
"Can I talk to her?" he asked.
I handed the phone to him, and they started talking. After a while Harry handed the phone back to me.
"It's Fred." Harry told me.
"Hey, Fred." I spoke into the phone.
"Astra, I don't like how we ended things, and I-" the voice cut out.
I looked around and saw Uncle Vernon with scissors, he had cut the wire.
"I hate this bloody house." I mumbled before rushing to my room, Harry followed me.
