Chapter 31: Bounjur

Another 3 weeks passed without another response from Fred...

Luckily I still made the Quidditch team and was back as a Beater. Circe got a spot on her house team too, but as the Keeper.

Even though we were on different teams, we still went out to the Quidditch pitch together and practiced. Though I had to admit that it was weird, knowing that I would play against her in the following weeks.

We didn't get to practice together a lot, because we had our own practice, which I had now every second day as my captain Céline Giraud, one of the 3 chasers, was pretty confident that we would win the cup this year if only we trained enough.

As I made my way down to breakfast on a rainy Thursday, I would have never expected that I would receive any mail or that the day would take such a turn.

"Mornin" Circe greeted me as I sat down next to her.

"Where did your energy go?" I asked her, confused by her lost of energy

"Ouch I am not looking forward to the weekend" she sighed

"Why not? I mean we both are pretty up-to-date with our homework, so we don't have to do a lot"

"I know, but André, you know my captain, just scheduled practice both days before dinner and some strategies after dinner" she explained "I mean Cedric...." she stopped at the thought of him "he was ambitious too but he still, I don't know he was just a bit different I guess" she said as she looked at her porridge a single tear escaping her eye

"It's okay" I hugged her

"He was always there for me! I mean I knew him from the day we started Hogwarts and we have been friends ever since and it's just weird knowing that he is not with us anymore" another tear rolled down her cheek.

"But at least you are there for me now" she looked at me, a small smile forming "I am sorry. I am getting too sentimental again" she wiped the tear away from her face. "Ahh I need to stop," she said. I could see that she was holding back more tears

"Don't feel sorry!" I assured her "I can only imagine what you are feeling! He meant a lot to you and grief is normal!"

"Will you always be there when I need you?" she asked

"I will try my best" I grinned "Come on, let's get back to our dorms and eat chocolate ok? I bet you will a little bit better afterwards"

"Thank you, for everything" she smiled

We didn't have a lot of time left before class started but I felt like that it really helped Circe.

However, we missed mail because of this and made it to class just in time.

As Circe had practise this afternoon, I went to the library alone, trying to work on some of my homework.

"Miss Y/L/N!" the librarian approached me, looking as serious as usual

"Good evening Miss" I greeted her as she stopped at my table "Is everything alright?"

"Oh yes dear" she smiled. It was probably the first time I ever saw her smile "This arrived in the mail this morning, but as you already went upstairs again, you missed it" she handed me a small package.

I turned the package and as I saw the handwriting, my heart skipped a beat

"A friend I suspect?"

"Yeah, you could call it that" I smiled

"Good luck with that" she said, before leaving me alone

I opened the package and there was a notebook, a quill and a letter in it.

I opened the letter first, confused by the other 2 things.

Bounjur Y/N,

I guess that you got the letter, because you are reading it right now.

As I told you in my last letter, George and I were working on something and we finished it.

We were working on a concept so that we could talk without anyone knowing or controlling it.

You can write in the notebook with the quill (you don't need ink) and it will appear in my notebook and the other way around.

I have the notebook next to me most time, so just write in it as soon as you get the letter.

Fred x

P.S. I don't know if I spelled the first word right

I smiled at the last sentence as I opened the notebook. I took the quill and started writing onto the first page

-Hello?

...was the first thing I wrote. I waited for about five minutes for a response.

-I see you got the package. So is it spelled right?

- No! It is spelled B-O-N-J-O-U-R but you nearly got it...

- Oh! I looked it up but as soon as I started to write the letter I forgot it and just guessed

-I can see that

-So how are you?

- I am quite fine. I mean I got into the Quidditch team again, found a new friend...

- Did you know that Angelina is our captain now?

-No! Oh that's amazing! Congrats!

-Oh and Ron is on the team now! As a keeper! Thpugh I gotta be honest he still needs some practice though but at least he got a new broom! Anyways, who is your new friend?

-Her name is Circe Elphick. She transferred from Hogwarts. You might actually know her

- What house was she in?

-Hufflepuff

- Yes I think I remember her! I think I had Charms with her. She used to be on the Quidditch team too right?

-Yeah, she is on it again, but we are in different houses, so we will play against each other

-Competition? I love it! But wasn't she Cedric's friend too?

-Yeah....it still hurts her, talking about him

- I feel sorry for her! I only hope that I will never loose a loved one this way. But let's talk about something happier shall we? You wanna tell me about your summer?

-Ohh yes! It was pretty boring first, but then Seamus invited me and....

I told him about my summer and he told me a bit about his. He wasn't able to tell me much though.

We continued to talk (write) to each other for another while, before it was time for dinner, for both of us.
