I tried to ask my mum as soon as possible if I could visit Fred after I told her a bit more about him. She seemed really happy for me and was okay that I would visit him. I tried to write the letter to Fred straight away so that he would receive it soon.

This was the day after I left Hogwarts. One and a half months have passed since that. I have never received an answer to my letter. Fred hasn't written to me either. I kept sending him letters but he never responded. I was so confused why he wouldn't answer me and that he wouldn't even write to me a single time.

Of course letters get lost in mail sometimes, but my family owl never lost any of her letter and I hardly believe that every single letter got lost. Did Fred just didn't want to answer any of my letters? Is something wrong? Should I be worried?

I kept thinking everything over again. I didn't even have someone to take my mind off of things and the whole situation stressed me out. Fleur was working for Gringotts part-time to improve her English so she was staying in England. Even my brother Antoine wasn't at home. He was on a trip with his friends to celebrate his graduation in the South of France.

So I spent most time at home in the garden just looking at the sky or reading a book. It felt the holidays would never end.

The only thing I was looking for was that Alicia would visit in 2 weeks but since I knew that my brother asked her to come it would be quite awkward.

I got one letter from Katie but that was already 3 weeks ago.

I felt like my mum knew about my boredom and my situation with Fred. She kept asking me if everything was alright but I didn't want to talk to her. I feel a bit stupid for worrying so much, especially because Fred keeps forgetting stuff. But I thought that I would be important enough to not forget. I didn't really know how to feel. When we were still Hogwarts everything was perfect and then everything stopped so suddenly. I started to think that he didn't want a long-distance relationship or that I was just another girl he dated.

I wasn't looking forward to starting school again either. Since Fleur graduated I didn't really have friends in my year and I haven't seen most of them in over a year. But it won't be as boring as it would be here reliving the same day all over.

I thought that this day would be just every other day but then an owl landed next to me.

I had never seen this owl but I still freed the letter from its leg and opened it.

Hey Y/N,

My mum's birthday is on the 17th July and I would love to have you there. Of course my mum has asked me to invite the rest of your family if they are free. You can stay a few days if you want to.

You will see the exact address at the back of the letter, but let me tell you that Kenmare, the town I live in, is so beautiful and I show you around Ireland especially Co.Kerry.

Anyways, I don't know if you will get the letter in time to answer me so I expect to see you there. I just hope that you can come

Seamus

P.S. Dean is also visiting so we can hang out a bit together

I was so happy that I could finally spend my time otherwise. I walked through the backdoor to ask my mum and she was standing in the kitchen.

"Hey mum" I walked up to her "Seamus send me a letter inviting us to his mother's birthday"

"This is brilliant Y/N" my mum smiled as I handed her the letter "But it is already tomorrow" she pointed out

"Oh I didn't notice but I just got letter" I told her

"I mean I have time to go since I am on vacation but I think dad has to work tomorrow" Mum said "But this is amazing! I can't believe to see Geraldine again" she smiled "Even though I don't think that I am gonna stay there since I have to get some stuff done here but you can stay if you want"

"Thanks mum" I said excited

"But then you better start packing some stuff!"

"Sure!" I smiled before I made my way upstairs to my room. I grabbed some clothes from my closet and threw them into a bag.

I was so happy that the holidays might take a positive turn.

My mum woke me up the next morning and I quickly got up and ate some breakfast downstairs.

"You ready?" my mum asked me as she checked the address on the letter

"Yes" I got still scared sometimes thinking about apparating alone but my mum insisted that I would do it on my own for practice.

We landed in front of a beautiful cottage and the landscape around was stunning. Everything was so green.

"I always loved Kenmare but I didn't visit it a lot since I grew up in Farranfore and it was always quite drive and I hated floo powder. Geraldine chose a really wonderful house. You know we used to live really close?" my mum asked me excited

"I have never heard of Farranfore before" I laughed "But I am sure it is a great place"

"It is just a village" my mum laughed

We walked closer to the house and knocked on the door. A women opened the door and as soon as she saw my mother I was sure that it was Seamus's mother

"I haven't seen you in ages" she hugged my mum and smiled "And this must be your daughter Y/N"

"Nice to meet you Mrs.Finnigan" I greeted her

"Oh please call me Geraldine and come in" she led us inside "Seamus, Y/N is here" she called upstairs.

I waited a few seconds awkwardly until Seamus came rushing down the stairs followed by Dean, who walked down a bit slower than Seamus did.

"It is so good to see you again" Seamus smiled and hugged me.

We walked up to his room and it was just how I imagined it. There were Quidditch posters of a local team and of course the Irish national team all over the walls.

The day passed by rather quickly. Some other guests arrived and it was just a small celebration. Seamus introduced me to his dad and told me more about his family and the neighborhood.

In the evening I said goodbye to my mum, because she had to return home. I watched a Muggle movie with Dean and Seamus afterwards, which was called "Back into the Future"

We talked a while afterwards until we all fell asleep on the couch.
