"A pretty lie that I adore."

When I got into the car I opened the door to get trampled by my little sister, Alessia. I hugged her small body tightly as I entertained her hair within my fingers. "Sia I missed you so much!" Her small arms clung to me tightly as she said "I missed you too Rora!" I laughed to myself as she said the silly nickname she has began to call me considering, as a six year old, she couldn't pronounce Aurora.

She pulled me through seat to the middle and seated herself practically on top of me and filled me in on everything I missed when I was at school.  My mother had left to talk to the other parents and my Dad was at home making us the only ones the car. Alessia made sure I tell her everything, about my year so far at Hogwarts. I can't wait for her to be old enough to go. She's heard many stories but nothing compares to being there in person.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" she asked excitedly, "I saw a blonde haired boy staring at you when you got off the train, he was really cute too!" practically squealing as she said the last part.

I raised an eyebrow before realization downed on me. Really Draco? Staring at me in front of all those people? I pray that nobody else saw him.

"Sorry Alessia but that's Draco Malfoy. He's a Slytherin and his dads a death eater. Draco would be the last person to be my boyfriend." I shrugged

"Oh that's a shame!"

"It's really not,"

When my Mother returned to the car i rested my head on Alessia's while we drove home. I wanted to catch some sleep as I remembered I need to go to the Bones party very soon. Even though I didn't want to go for the sake of not wanting to go, I didn't want to leave Alessia at home alone only after an hour of being with her.

It felt like I had just closed my eyes when I felt my Mother shaking me awake.

"Aurora, up, Alessia, up. We need to get ready to go."

I groaned as took Alessia's small hand and lead her out of the car, dragging my bag behind me.

When I walked through the door I saw my Father waiting for me with open arms. I set down my trunk and let go of Alessia's hand before gladly running into his arms. He smelled like grass and wood. My dad was always a big fan of muggle inventions and would often spend hours cutting down trees in the backyard and making tables and chairs.

"How are you Aurora? We missed you so much, your Mother and I." he said with a large sincere smile. "I've been great! Caught up on all my classes so I could spend the whole break with you guys, fifth years kicking my ass with all the assignments,"

My Father laughed loudly before saying "Watch your tongue around your sister," he gestured to Alessia who stood eagerly by my side. I chuckled as I watched my Mother make my way towards us.

"All of you, showers and dressed, we have an hour before we need to go. Alessia, Ms. Jackson will watch you tonight, behave yourself." We all nodded before running up to our rooms.

As I opened my door I smiled to myself while I flipped onto my bed. My family were the most important thing in the world to me. It felt great to be home again, I missed everyone more then you could imagine. While the water to my shower started running I remembered I told Ginny I would write to them. I quickly wrote down a letter before sending Charmsion off.
