Everyone began to head up to their rooms and start unpacking when Molly and Arthur started to yell, "Don't unpack just yet! We are not staying at The Burrow this summer. We have decided to stay somewhere safer, with a friend," Arthur smiled.

Everyone looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.

"Where are we staying then dad?" Ron asked, setting one of his suitcases down on the floor.

"We are staying with a friend, and you shall see when we get there!" Molly said in a mischievous tone.

Everyone groaned and set their bags in the living room before heading to their rooms.

"So where do you think we're going?" Y/n asked Ron.

"Probably someplace with Harry," Ron could not think creatively in this matter, and it annoyed Y/n.

"Why don't you think we'll go to a mansion with a hundred rooms," She clapped her hands quickly, "Ooh! Or maybe a circus!"

"I doubt it, it's basically a circus here already."

Y/n huffed, walked up the stairs faster, and set her things in the twins' room. Then she walked to Charlie's room.

"Hey Charlie," she greeted him with a kind smile, "do you know where we're going?" She asked, getting straight to the point.

"I'm not going to tell you, I already knew you were going to ask. And besides, mum already said I couldn't spoil our location," He smirked, but then his smile fell nearly immediately, "Maybe because it's for our safety. I hear You Know Who is back after the whole tournament thing."

Y/n's smile had been wiped off of her face the second he began to mention The Dark Lord.

"Yes, he is. He's going to be on the lookout for Harry, I just know it. I bet your mum and dad do too. And I bet that's why we aren't staying here this summer," She crossed her arms.

"Oh, and by the way, I'm sorry I didn't reach out when everything happened two years ago, I thought it might not be the best time," He sighed.

Y/n's eyebrows furrowed, "What are you talking about Charlie?" She asked, genuine curiosity filling her gut.

"The baby," he began, but Y/n stopped him there.

"Don't apologize. It was a choice I made, I was the one who tried to kill myself. But to be honest, I'm glad that Neville Longbottom was there that day, I have met a few good people now."

Charlie looked down at his feet as if the mention of her attempt made him uncomfortable. Y/n walked away and headed downstairs to make herself a snack.

"Hey,  Molly," Y/n said awkwardly as she turned into the kitchen.

"Oh hello dear," She smiled, turning to face her, "how have you been?"

"I've been, good, I guess," Her smile faded.

"I know you've been having a tough time recently, throughout the school year. It's just terrible what happened to you," Molly walked over to Y/n and hugged her grandly.

Y/n didn't know what to say, her body had been feeling cold lately, and with Molly's words, it felt warmer. With Fred, all they've done is argue. With Angelina, all they did was smile and make stupid comments to each other. Y/n just wanted to talk to someone, or maybe just sit in silence with them. Although when she began speaking with Charlie, he decided to bring up old matters, which made her interests die.
