The last days of the holidays that we had left are unfortunately over. But this last week was really perfect. I spent my days either helping Mrs Weasley in the kitchen, swimming in the lake or watching their quidditch match. And I even helped George and Fred continue to improve their inventions.

Now it's back to school day. I woke up and walked into the bathroom. I decided to put on a sweater and jeans; the weather had deteriorated in the night. Going down the stairs I met Fred.

"Hey May, ready to go back?" he asked me with a big smile.

"Yes, more than ready!" I answer. I then realized that we were very close. The stairs being narrow, we had no other choice. It was like the time slowed down until Ron stormed down the stairs forcing us apart. Fred then gave me a smile and went upstairs.

My luggage being ready I waited in the living room a book in hand, that the members of the family are all ready to leave.

Arrived at king cross station, we headed for platform 9 ¾. I then looked around in the crowd for my parents. They promised to come and say goodbye.

"Here are your parents Mayline" Mrs. Weasley told me. I turned my head towards where she was pointing and saw them. I was immediately taken in the arms of my father.

"Oh my darling, how I have missed you!" he told me.

"I missed you too. I'm glad you could come!"

My mother took me in her arms too.

"Everything went well sweetie? We were so worried when we heard what happened at the Quidditch World Cup!" said my mother sadly.

My father then spoke "Yes, fortunately Arthur was able to contact me at the ministry. He assured us that you were all well."

"Yes dad, don't worry. I was just a bit shaken but everything is fine" I replied with a small smile.

After, the time to get on the train arrived. I thanked Mr and Mrs Weasley one last time and hugged my parents. I promised to write to them and they made me promise to be very careful this year. I had a feeling that they wanted to tell me more things but that they held back.

We get on the train and each small group separates. The golden trio enters a compartment, Ginny goes to join her friends while I walk with Fred and George.

"Do you sit with us?" wonder George.

"No, I'll go with Kathleen and Cedric, maybe I'll join you later. Otherwise, I'll see you in the great hall" I replied with a smile.

George returned my smile and replied "Okay, see you later!". He opened the door to a compartment from which I heard the voices of Lee Jordan and Angelina Johnson.

Fred stood back and said to me "Are you eating with us?". I struggled to decipher the expression on his face but answered "Yes, so save me a seat!" Fred smiled at me and went into his compartment.

I then continued to walk and finally came across my best friend. She was sitting on the bench and reading a book as usual.

I opened the door with all my strength "Kath!". The girl jumped up from her seat and took me in her arms. How I had missed her!

"I. Want. To. Know. Everything!" she says to me accentuating each words.

I shook my head while laughing. "Yeah, yeah I will tell you everything" I sat across from her and started telling her about my week with the Weasleys.

"No way! He kissed you?!" said Kathleen excitedly. It was like that every time I told her about an interaction I had with Fred. She a tendency for exaggerating.

"You won't even let me finish; he kissed me..."

I didn't have time to finish my sentence when Cedric came in and shouted "I knew something had happened between you guys! And hi Kath!" he gave us a kiss and sat next to Kathleen.

"Hush, will you?!" I put my hand on my forehead and shook my head. "Nobody kissed!"

"But you just said..."

I cut Cedric off and said "I was saying he kissed me on the cheek. But you two got carried away"

"That's all?!" Kathleen said rolling her eyes. I glared at her and they stopped laughing.

The rest of the trip went like this; Kathleen and Cedric trying to give me ideas to get closer to Fred. And me who refuses them all.

"No I'm not going to go to his dorm, tell him I had a nightmare to sleep with him Cedric!" I looked at him as if he had lost his mind.

"But yet you do it with me!" he said confused.

"It happened once!" Kathleen exclaimed.

"And we were 12!" I added offended. Cedric rolled his eyes and I added "Besides, it was Kath who had a nightmare, I was just accompanied her" Kath then gave me a book swipe "Ow!" I rubbed my arm and we all started laughing.

The time to put on my uniform has arrived and I head to the nearest restroom. On the way, I am pushed and drop my dress. Before I can, the boy in front of me bends down and grabs it for me. I then realize that it is Adrian Pucey.

A slytherin student and chaser in the same year as me.  I rarely spoke to him, but the few times it happened he was always very respectful.

I smile at him and say "Sorry I didn't see you"

"No, it's my fault, I was in too much in a hurry" he gives me a guilty smile, walks around me to continue his way.

"Hmm you still have my dress"

"Oh right, hum sorry about that" he replies embarrassed. I smile, get my dress and go change.
