SECOND

2 {Deep breath}

''Two pumpkin pasties and one cauldron cake please.'' Ron ordered from the trolley. ''oh and one a those chocolate frogs too.'' Hermione shaking her head disapprovingly. ''What? I'm hungry' Ron said while he stuffed another pumpkin pastie down his throat. Cecille chuckled.

''So how was everyone's summer?' Cecille asked. Hermione gave Josie a concerning glance knowing Josie hadn't had the best summer. She and Hermione were very close friends and told each other pretty much everything. During holidays they would always keep in touch by writing letters. Hermione was first to come check on her when things with Fred went down.
''It was uh good'' Harry said while avoiding eye contact. Everyone except Cecille knew about Josie and Fred's break-up over the summer.
''Good? That's all I'm getting? Come on guys I want to know, it's already unfair that you all got to spend the summer together in the burrow while I had to sit at home with my sisters.' While Josie spend a few weeks at the Weasleys Cecille had to go on an obligatory holiday with her family. "You didn't sit at home Cecille' Josie corrected. "So not the point Josie!'
''Yes, how was summer indeed'' asked Ginny obviously towards Josie, Ginny didn't like keeping things from her friends. ''Wait guys, what'd I miss? Josie what happened tell me, you have to tell me.'
''Yes Josie, come on just tell her already'' Ginny said now very obviously annoyed by Josie's secrecy towards Cecille. Josie gave Ginny a mad look were as Ginny responded with raised eyebrows "Well?'
''So me and Fred kind of started this thing over the summer...' Josie started. Cecille eyes lit up ''Oh my god, I totally called that one, didn't I Mione! Oh Josie you two are such a good couple. Why didn't you tell me? We literally live in the same house!'
''Well sorry to crush your dream, but were not together anymore and thats exactly the reeason I didnt tell you' Josie blurted out. Cecille gave Josie a bewildered look. ''Jeez Josie, I would've at least expected you to hold on to your boyfriend for a few weeks at the most' Cecille said trying to light the mood.
Josie rolled her eyes ''Shut it Cil.' The rest of the group laughed in relief. Except Ron who hadn't really said anything at all to the group since the train had left.
''You'll tell me all about it later?' Cecille said only so loud that Josie was the only one to hear. Josie nodded ''Yes of course I will.'

While time went by Ron was on his 6th pastry and Hermione had fallen asleep. Harry was nowhere to be found. ''I've changed my mind Josie, tell me about Fred now.' Cecille begged. Josie grinned ''Yeah right.'
Cecille crossed her arms ''No fair. Eh Weasley, what are you on about' Cecille said to Ron.
Ron was biting his lip and looking down at his shoes with an angry look on his face for awhile now.
''Let's just not talk about that okay, I just think its stupid.' Ron snapped. ''Jeez Ron lighten up' Ginny said while browsing through the newest issue of the quidditch time.
''Lot of wrackspurts in this area'' said a soft soothing voice breaking the unsettling silence. ''Luna'' Ginny said happy, with her face turning in the colour that could match her hair. The train slowly but roughly came to a stop. Josie shook Hermione's shoulder gently ''Time to wake up Mione, were here.'
''Hey Luna have you seen Harry anywhere? Cecille asked. ''I'll go look for him'' Luna said sweetly. ''Yeah, just follow the wrackspurts' Ron said in a sarcastic tone. Ginny gave Ron a push ''Oh I will' Luna responded unbothered by Ron's snotty comment.

Moments later Harry was found and the six friends walked towards the carriages.
Ron and Josie were walking upfront when another carriage just took of. ''There she is again'' Ron nodded his face towards the carriage.
Who are you talking about Ron?' ''You know, the girl she has been walking back and forth along our cabin almost the whole ride.' Ron claimed. ''Really, how stalkery of her...' Josie said in a jokingly way while she tried to see the girls' face. Ron didn't respond to Josie's joke.
"There's only space for two more on this one' Professor Flitwick said. "You guys go ahead, we will take the next one' Hermione suggested. "Okay then, see you in a bit' Josie said.
Josie walked over to the carriage, the step was high up and the ground was slippery from the fresh snow that had fallen that night. Josie climbed up the carriage following by Ron. The students in the carriage were pretty much cramped up together.
''You would've thought they'd at least gotten bigger carriages by now.' Ron said in a deep voice when leaning closer to Josie for her to hear. ''Yeah you'd think so' Josie responded turning her face to Ron. The two were only one finger length away from each other.
Ron cleared his throat and leaned back.
The carriage drove through the forest. It was magical. The dark blue night glow shadowing over the forest had something mysterious about it. The snow not having missed a single pine needle giving the landscape an even more beautiful surrounding.
Josie smiled and took a deep breath in throughout her nose. Taking in the fresh air not noticing Ron was staring at her. "You look ridiculous doing that you know' Ron said.
His eyes stood soft. Josie smiled, she felt her heartbeat rising. ''Piss off Weasley' Josie said while she side-eyed Ron with a grin on her face.
She had missed him, although she had spent most of her summer at the burrow, she and Ron didn't really spend that much time together seeing as Josie was more focused on his brother rather than on her friend. She felt guilt creeping up on her.
Josie's thought were roughly disrupted by a voice, a girls voice. "Stunning here, don't you think?' Ron looked up, "uh yeah, yeah I suppose so.'
"I'm sorry how rude, my name's Aubrey' the girl said friendly. A little too friendly for Josie's liking, Ron didn't seem to think so. "Are you new this year?' Josie asked Aubrey. "I am, I moved here with my family from France actually.' "How interesting' Josie responded curtly.
Ron and Aubrey talked a bit more. Aubrey seemed nice. Friendly and sweet, but something about her was off. Josie listened to the two talk.
