Arriving at Platform Nine and Three Quarters on her own this time felt nerve-wracking. People walking everywhere, the screams of parents and their children's goodbyes echoing throughout the platform.

As Scarlett scanned around the Platform she can't seem to find him anywhere.

"Hello, my love!" A familiar voice rang. When Scarlett looked behind herself, she saw the two tall gingers with their carts full of trunks. George gave her a quick kiss on her forehead. "How was your holiday?"

"It was... good." Scarlett thought back to her holiday. Going over little events that took place and the conversation with them, then decided that 'good' was the best answer she could give George. "And yours?"

"Splendid! It would've been better if you were there though. Maybe next holiday you can come by the Burrow." George cupped both his hands on Scarlett's face, then gave her a sweet kiss on her lips. "What do you think of that? You could also help us with the shop..."

"Yes, George. I would love to." Scarlett couldn't decide if that was a lie or not.

Her holiday went faster than she expected. Being in the Muggle World with her family felt like a sense of relief. She's missed it dearly.


~Holiday~

The winter morning was crisp as she walked out the back door to see her two parents looking over the Daily Prophet. "How are you this morning, Scarlett?"

She missed her mothers' kind voice.

"I'm doing good this morning. And you?" Her mother nods back and takes a sip of her coffee as her father gets up, gives Scarlett a kiss on her head, then walks back into the kitchen.

They lived in a nice suburban house in the Muggle world. Don't get Scarlett wrong, she loves the Wizarding world but she would always love the Muggle world a bit more.

"So, tell me, Scarlett," Her mother started, placing her Daily Prophet down and her mug filled with steaming coffee. The steam looks exactly like the steam from when Draco and her would brew various potions in class. Bickering back and forth. Scarlett smiles at the light memory. "Are there any boys at Hogwarts you are taking a liking to?"

Scarlett's mind goes haywire. Not knowing what to say or even how to say it. "No." Her mother knows she's lying, Scarlett sighs. "Yes, actually there is."

Her mothers' brow raised into an arch, intrigued by her daughter's confession about the people she takes a liking to around Hogwarts. Where magic can really be made. "Tell me." Her mother quickly demanded.

"Well there are actually two," confessed Scarlett. Her mothers mouth was slightly agape. "And no, I will not be handing out any names."Her mother frowned. Considering she works at the Ministry For Magic, she can easily get information on the two lads. "They are both completely different though. They are practically mortal enemies."

Scarlett took a sip of her tea and stared at the steam. "Oh," Her mother took a sip of her coffee, then took her finger and spiraled it around the brim. "Tell me about them."

Scarlett nodded and started. "Well to start off I have liked this one boy for a long time. His eyes, his hair, his everything is so captivating, Mum, I don't think you could even realize. He's just so. I really don't know how to explain it well. His personality though on the other hand, is a complete arsehole. We bicker on and on. But, I think that's what makes it... it. Do you understand what I'm saying here?"

Her mother nodded and twirled her hand to gesture for Scarlett to keep going. "But, he's with someone unfortunately." Scarlett frowned into her mug as if she just saw the same scene of them in the Library. Legs over each other, reading novels.
