I was awoken by the sound of Angelina's alarm. I ground lowly and covered my head with a pillow. I tightly shut my eyes and took a peak at Angelina's snoring figure. 

"Johnson, I swear to Merlin's left tit if you don't turn that shit off I will strangle you with your broom," Tori grumbled. Her eyebrows furrowed when Angelina continued to snore.

I reached for my wand, pointed it at the alarm clock, muttered an 'incendio', and threw my wand, not caring where it ended up before I turned my back on them. Not even five minutes has passed when I heard a squeal and I smelled burning wood. I whirled around and saw Angelina's whole bedside table on fire.

I scrambled to my feet and frantically searched for my wand, Tori was no help either, she was just trying to get out of her covers and Angelina was still rubbing her eyes, oblivious to the fact that the fire is nearing her bed.

"Am I a witch or what?" shaking my head at how stupid I was being I accio'd my wand and screamed an aguamenti when Angelina's blanket is starting to get on fire.

"Morning," she yawned. She scratched her head and blankly looked at her burning blanket. I scrunched up my face, "you good, Ange?"

"Yeah."

Tori and I shared a look, our mouths agape. "What the fuck?"

"I need to pack," she got up, "try not to set my bed on fire, yeah?" she went to the bathroom and I just sat there with a blank look. Angelina never acted this calm before but because it was we were going home we thought that it was the reason she barely cared if her bed caught on fire.

I don't have any recollection of what happened the night before. I don't know how I got to bed, how I got my makeup off or how I even got to change into my pajamas.

Another year was gone and next year we will start to review for N.E.W.T.s. Once we have done our last minute packing we headed for a quick breakfast and walked to the carriages to take us to the train home.

I decided to sit with the twins and Lee this time since Tori and Angelina decided to sit with Katie and Alicia. As I've mentioned before, I don't have a problem with them. It's just a bit uncomfortable to sit with people I'm not close with.

"So a werewolf was teaching us?"

"Shut it, Lee. He was the best teacher we've ever had."

"We all knew it was bound to happen, the position was cursed."

"I hope Snape gets the position next year, so we can finally get rid of him," we laughed.

Though he was a werewolf he did a marvelous job at teaching us. If only his secret was never revealed then I'm sure he would've taught us and possibly even our kids.

The boys engaged themselves in a conversation about the twins wanting to start a business and how they earned enough money to actually start making inventions this summer. I looked out the window, piping in their conversation once in a while.

I was so immersed in how nature looked that I didn't even hear the trolley lady or someone opening the compartment door, "hey, Fred. Can I talk to you?"

I looked over to see Katie with a small smile, her face blushing. I scowled and threw a glare at his back when he nodded and got up. I saw him follow after her which resulted in me being in a bad mood the whole time he was gone.

George nudged my knee and gave me a huge grin, "jealous?" his eyebrows waggling.

"Talk to me when you can finally do a move on Angelina."

He made a weird animal sound and clicked his tongue making me smirk in triumph. I crossed my arms and continued to look out the window, I would occasionally look at my watch, timing how long Fred was spending with her.

I sound like a complete maniac but that boy just makes me do shit.

At exactly thirty damn minutes, Fred walked in looking flushed. His hair was a damn mess and he panting. This sight of him made me want to push him out off the train but who am I to stop him? He's done this countless times before but I don't know why it is affecting me so much this time.

I glared at Lee when he stood up and pat him on the shoulder, "get it, Freddie!"

"She's been eyeing you the whole year!"

George sent me a sympathetic smile and offered a licorice wand. I snatched it from his hand and aggressively bit into it.

"Y-yeah," he chuckled nervously. He sat next to me and looked uneasy. I avoided his gaze but I could feel his eyes on me. The compartment was enveloped in awkward silence. He cleared his throat and scratched the back of his head before he offered a game of exploding snap.

I could feel Fred observing me as I look at my cards with pursed lips but I stood my ground, I'm petty so I stayed silent and refused to talk to him directly. I spent the whole train ride playing the card game, only pausing when one of us has to use the loo. The game became a bit intense when Lee suggested on betting a few galleons and chocolate frogs.

When we arrived at the platform Fred held on to my purse and offered the chocolate frog he got from Lee but instead of accepting it, I put my nose in the air and flipped my hair, hitting him in the face.

He let out a frustrated groan and chucked the chocolate and my purse onto my hand and walked out. I sneered at him before I followed him out. Immediately I was greeted by a family of redheads.

"Oh, sweetheart! Your parents asked if you could stay with us for the summer because they will be traveling for work." Molly patted my cheek. I sighed and nodded my head. A summer with Fred? Bloody hell.

I waved goodbye to the girls and followed the Weasleys. Fred walked behind so we'd be at the same pace. Even though he's refusing to talk to me or even look at me he still walked with me. A thing he's always done when we were going home.

I guess this summer is going to be eventful but now, it's time to go to the Burrow.
