The voice around me blurred into a singular buzzing. I sat perched in corner sipping the bitter and rather bland tea Mrs.Weasley had accidentally burnt this morning as burrow bustled with life. It was mornings like this when everyone was loud and rushing around speaking over each other that I missed the quiet morning at Hogwarts with Blaise. We were always the first ones up around the castle, we sit mostly in the silence sipping the specialized tea he would brew until other students started to wander in and we'd venture to our designated tables.
I've always enjoyed spending time at the Weasleys the escape from the Dursley was always welcomed however it was Hogwarts were I felt truly at home, like I belonged. Along side my friends and classmates.
"Florence sweetie..... FLORENCE" Mrs.Weasley voice snapped me from my thoughts my eyes slowly pulled from beige liquid in my tea cup. All eyes where on me.
"It was Harry, or alternatively the twins." I said somewhat defensively. Aaron snicker under his breath as Harry's emerald orbs shot a look of betrayal
"I'll take that as a No you weren't listening" Mrs.Weasley insisted lightly flicking me with her towel as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Not really... sorry Mrs.Weasley.." I apologized with a guilty grin.
"Oh it's alright sweetie, I was just reminds you kids that Remus and Tonks will be here after your trip to Diagon Alley to see the twins and to stay together, no wandering off young lady!" She informed directing the latter half at me directly.
"I will do my best! Speaking of our day trip I'm going to go get dressed!" I informed taking the my chance to escape the busy dining area.
Placing my barley sipped from cup on the edge of sink I scurried towards the stairs to the room I shared with Ginny and Hermonie.
The soft clacking of the train wheels on track lulled me as I leaned against the window, the new book Remus had given me on Greek myth for my birthday in one hand the other snapping off small pieces of my chocolate in the other. Ever since he'd come into our lives he'd gotten me the same three gifts for my birthday. A book, chocolate and a hand knitted cardigan.
Out of the corner of my eye I could see Harry's hand slowly reaching across the small pull out table. Before he could reach the chocolate I slapped his hand away. He flinched pulling it to him a small snicker escaped Ron.
"You got Quidditch gear." I reminded pulling the bar closer eyes not leaving the pages of my book.
"Great what do they want" Hermione grumbled.
I finally pulled my attention from my book the sound of compartment door slowly opening. My heart skipped as a smile formed on my face matching the one staring back at me. Standing in the train hall was Astoria Greengrass.
She's was a year below us but still one of my closest friends. Her golden locks primped perfectly in place off her face and delicate features. Behind her stood Draco Malfoy, a slight annoyed scowl on his face as his ice grey orbs darted between my brother, Ron and Hermonie three of his most hated fellow peers, a feeling mutual among all of them. It was clear Draco didn't want to stop.
"Flea come join us?" Astoria offered holding out her hand
"Yeah of course!" I said closing my book starting to gather my stuff.
"Your not actually going to hang out with them are you?" Ron questioned
"Ron's right Florence, don't be dumb you know there just using you. They're not actually your friends" Hermonie insisted.
