Back again with a little note before I let you continue reading. :) I mentioned writing a story about Regulus Black at the beginning of the last chapter, and now I've finally published the first two chapters of it! However, I decided I'd only be posting it on AO3, and not here on Wattpad. The reasoning behind this choice is that I kind of want to keep that fic separate from the ones I'm posting here – it's quite a different style, and I just prefer to publish it on AO3.
Anyway, it's called "Life's But a Walking Shadow" and you can find it on my profile "FanniAlak" on Archive of Our Own! Hope the change of platforms isn't too much of an inconvenience, I'll be forever grateful if you check it out. :) (You don't need to be registered on AO3 to read it!) I've also got a Wolfstar AU fic there if you're into that, called "By the Riverside" (Wolfstar AUs are literally everything I've been reading lately)!
Thanks, bye, enjoy. <3

TWO YEARS LATER
"Honeys I'm hoooome! Oh. Hi, Bill."
"Hey", Bill grinned from the doorway: "Looking for Percy?"
"Oh, ha ha", I nudged him with the back of my hand: "Twins?"
"Upstairs. Just got home from the shop."
"Thanks", I smiled, gave him a short hug and ran up the stairs and into the twins' room. "Knock knock", I said after opening the door and stepping in.
"Amelia!" Fred and George chanted simultaneously, then pulled me in for a hug: "What's up, schoolgirl?"
"Ah-a", I held my finger up: "No longer a schoolgirl. A free girl, now."
"I'd hardly call you a free girl", George raised an eyebrow: "How's Oliver?"
"Good, I think", I said, settling down on Fred's bed: "Sent an owl this morning, said he was on his way to Montrose."
"Excited to see him?"
"Of course, it's been ages... Anyway, how's the business?"
"Incredible", George grinned: "Wish you could have been there for opening day."
"Well, some of us had their NEWTs..." I cocked an eyebrow.
"Look at you being all goody-two-shoes", Fred ruffled my hair. I laughed and shoved his hand away.
"Since when is finishing school being considered as being a goody-two-shoes? Just because I didn't run off to start a business..."
"Blah blah", George rolled his eyes: "We've heard this before... anyway – Quidditch?"
And that's how the first day back from Hogwarts went for us – playing Quidditch at a nearby hill with Harry, Ginny, Ron and the twins. Charlie even joined for one game. Afterwards, sweaty and panting like crazy, we walked back to the Burrow and were greeted by Mrs. Weasley's amazing cooking.
"Starving", Fred crashed down at the table, stretching his long arms.
"Well, dear", Mrs. Weasley turned to me, a sweet smile on her face: "Excited about the game tomorrow? How long has it been since you last saw Oliver?"
"Four months", I smiled, already stuffing my mouth with roast potatoes: "And yes, very excited. Nervous."
"They'll be fine", Mr. Weasley smiled from the other end of the table: "Puddlemere has been doing great this season, really wonderful to see..."
"Alright, alright, enough with the Quidditch talk", Mrs. Weasley shook her head, amused.
"Agreed, Mom", Bill stepped into the room with Charlie, who shook his head in disbelief.
