Stay away from me. I hate you.

Those seven words had been playing in your head the whole way to Diagon Alley. How could you sister say she hates you because of something you couldn't control?

You hadn't told anyone what she had said to you after she stormed off into the hospital wing. Anthony must have noticed you were acting a bit strange though and asked what it was and what was wrong.

"Want to tell me what's happened now then?" Anthony asked as you two walked into Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour.

"Jamie's pissed off at me. She said she hates me." You admitted and had a look at all of the different ice cream flavours.

"She said she hates you?" He asked in shock. "That's messed up."

"I know. We had this whole argument about how it wasn't my place to tell anyone even you, then she said to stay away from her and she hates me." You sighed and got some money out from your pocket.

"I can talk to her for you if you want me to." He offered but you shook your head.

"No, it's fine. What ice cream do you want, I'm paying?" You asked.

"Banana in a cone please." He smiled at you.

"Gross. Banana?" You questioned his choice in disgust. "That's disgusting."

"Well what are you getting then?" He asked and took his ice cream cone from the stand.

"I'm getting two scoops of salted caramel in a cup." You said and grabbed your ice cream.

"Why in a cup? Cones are the best." He stated.

"Because I don't want a cone right now. If your going to bitch my amazing ice cream choices, you can give me my money back." You said and he immediately shook his head rapidly.

"Did you know the Weasley twins are opening their own shop once they've left Hogwarts? Lee told me." Anthony said as you two made your way to the Magical Menagerie.

"They are?" You asked and he nodded his head. "Oh. Fred never told me about that. What kind of shop?"

"A joke shop. They are the kings on pranks, it suits them well to have a joke shop." He said and opened the door for you. "What are we getting in here, it's a animal shop?"

"Theo was talking about how he wants a pet Pygmy Puff. He can have it as a bit of an early present if he wants because it might become a big attached to me if I care for it for too long." You said and walked over to the Pygmy Puffs.

"Do you know what colour he wants?" He asked and looked at all the small rainbow pets.

"His favourite colour is green, so I'm thinking a nice green one." You said and looked with him, only looking at the green ones though. "This is making me want one."

"How 'bout I get you one for Christmas." He offered then laughed. "I think he'd like that one."

He pointed to a nice, forest green Pygmy Puff. It was perfect, almost the exact shade of green that Theo has all over his room at home.

"It's perfect, that's the one." You smiled.

Anthony walked away to ask a worker if you could buy that Pygmy Puff. After a couple of minutes, Anthony and the worker came over with a bag of food, a small bed and a small food or water bowl.

After paying for it all, you put all of the stuff in a bag with an Extension Charm casted on it. Anthony offered to carry the small box that the Pygmy Puff was being carried in, he even poked an extra air hole because he felt like the Pygmy Puff was dying inside the box.

You bought Jamie a bunch of sweets and sugary things from Honeydukes, a lot of books from Flourish & Blotts as she loves reading, and you even went back to get her a Pygmy Puff too. Anthony picked the colour as you couldn't decide.

A light pink Pygmy Puff.

Anthony got his siblings, parents and everyone else important to him a nice and memorable present. You done the same, but didn't get Anthony one because he was behind you in all of the shops, pretty much every second of the day. It would have been impossible.

You came up with an idea to ask Fred if he wants to go back to Diagon Alley with you tomorrow to get some more presents with him. Hopefully he would say yes, or you would just have to go by yourself.

When you and Anthony got back to Hogwarts, the two of you went and hung out with Lee and George. Fred was somewhere else, no one knew where he was though and when he would be back.

"Don't you think they would make a great couple?" George said and looked at Lee and Anthony who were laughing with each other.

"Actually, I think they would now that I think about it." You nodded your head. "Even if they did start dating, I don't think they would be able to tell anyone other than us."

"Why not?" George asked and lit a cigarette.

"Did you not hear what happened to those two sixth years?" You asked. "Two boys got beat up, both had broken noses, one had a fractured jaw and the other has bruises all over his face."

"Shit." He dragged out. "Why would someone even want to do that? I understand a fight over any other thing, but because their gay?"

"I know right. It's crazy how our world is." You said. "I don't want either one of them to have that happen to them. That's why I was so scared when Theo-"

You cut yourself off.

"What about Theodore?" He question you after taking a puff of his cigarette.

"Don't worry. It's not something I can say." You said and thought back to earlier with Jamie and the entire argument about spreading someone's biggest secret.
