The market

Four years later

  "Come on, Fay, we have to go. We're going to miss the train if you don't hurry." Someone yelled from the kitchen in the little cottage in the woods.

"All right, all right, River, don't get your panties in a twist I'm coming," Fay yelled back to the boy in the kitchen.

River and Angel had started spending most of their time at the Williams household over the past four years. 

 River not having the best family home, had come over and stayed every summer and Holiday he could and Angel not wanting to be too far from River and Fay always stayed with them as much as she could.

Over the past four years the Williams home had changed significantly. There were more pictures covering the walls, this time of the three best friends, and they had knocked down a wall, making a guest bedroom that River or Angel stayed in when they were over. 

They spent a whole weekend painting it and adding furniture that River and Angel had wanted in the room. The three friends spent most of their time huddled together in that room, planning their yearly traditional Hogwarts welcome party. 

Fay was in her room getting ready to go to the train station and from there they would pick up Angel, then go to the market to get baking ingredients for her mom.

As she walked out of her room, River grabbed her arm and practically dragged her to the fireplace and shoved a small bowl filled with Floo powder into her hand.

Fay grumbled annoyed, then grabbed some on the green powder, saying "King's Cross train station" then throwing the powder down at her feet and disappearing to another fireplace located in the train station, with River following behind her.

"Well, come on let's go. We have to hurry up and get Angel, she's waiting on us." River rushed out while pushing Fay to make her go faster.

"Riv, if I didn't know any better, I would say you have a little crush on our Angel" This made River stop dead in his tracks and turn the girl around putting his hands on her shoulders.

"Let me make this very clear Fay Williams, I Do Not have a crush on Angel, I just don't want her to be waiting a while for us to get there." River said trying to sound intimidating at first but then getting softer.

Fay just laughed in his face and turned around walking away before yelling back to him "Yeah Riv and I'm Merlin." making the boy grumble and run after her.

They made it to Angel's house after a twenty-minute train ride through the city. They were both shoving each other and yelling about something when they arrived. They had been having a disagreement about whether pizza or corndogs were better.

"Okay but tell me how corndogs are better than pizza exactly?" Fay yelled at the boy who decided to shut her up by shoving her, making her fall into the mud. River burst out laughing as the girl turned around with mud covering her from head to toe.

He quickly stopped his laughing as he saw her glare and backed away slightly afraid of the younger girl.

Fay stood up and chased him around the front yard of the Lovegood home as she tried to push him into the mud. 

When Angel heard the commotion, she came running outside worried something was happening, but as she saw Fay on top of River shoving mud in his face she giggled and ran back into the house to grab her camera.

She ran back outside and snapped a photo of the two who had switched places, now River was shoving mud in Fay's face making her kick him in the shin, sending him to the ground.

As soon as River spotted Angel though he quickly stopped what he was doing and stood up before smiling and running up to the girl tackling her into a hug.
