Miley placed the parchment in her owls mouth. " now snowy, take this to the burrow and await a response of both twins not just one" she gave the porcelain white owl a comforting stroke before he hoped onto her arm as she guided him to the window. She opened and allowed the owl to fly into the already orange tainted sky. It must be getting late as the sun was beaming as brightly as before.

She closed the window and headed downstairs to find her mother cooking what smelt like a delightful meal while her stepfather sat and read the paper. On it she could see moving pictures of an inmate screaming with the words escaped in bold. Her stepfather placed the paper down and looked towards her mother. They both gave each other worried glances but turned there attentions away when they noticed Miley standing in the doorway. "Where's Harry, he's not in his room?" Miley asked her stepfather as he began to hide the paper in an cabinet which Miley thought was odd but ignored. "Ah I believe he has headed to the garden to practice on his broom for quidditch this year" lupin replied as he gave his stepdaughter a awkward side hug and headed outside to call Harry in.

When he and Harry returned into the house they all sat at the round wooden dining table to enjoy yet another family meal. Miley enjoyed these as they would often discuss hobbies they all participated in giving Miley free will to talk about her love for potions. " ah I'm not sure if I have mentioned this yet but molly had invited you kids to spend the last week of the summer at the burrow" Mileys mum exclaimed as they started to plate up vegetables and medium slices of roasted beef. Both Harry and miley looked at each other with huge smiles and began to start shouting and punching into the air. " I can take them by apparation tomorrow hannah as I know your snowed under with work" Remus managed to say through all the excited noises coming from the two pre teens. Hannah smiled at her husband and then her kids and nodded before digging into her meal.

Miley headed upstairs into her bedroom as soon as her last mouthful of gravy soaked broccoli hit her tongue to pack. As if by magic snowy flew to the window as miley sat by the desk with two letters in his beak awaiting miley to open the window. Once she did he dropped them onto her desk and waiting patiently for his next instructions. Miley giggled and looked at the two letters; one was wrote in such neat handwriting which signalled it was from George while the other looked as though a mere toddler had written it signalling it was written by Fred. Miley opened George's letter first;

My dearest Miley,
                               We've missed you over the summer but we had great fun going to see Charlie in Romania. Mum says you and Harry are coming to stay for the week tomorrow and I am so excited to show you all the photos. Also Fred hasn't stopped banging on about seeing you for days and hopefully he will be less annoying with you around. Till I see you tomorrow,
George ( the better twin)

Miley chuckled but couldn't help out feel slight butterflies at the mention of Fred. She'd thought about him often over the summer and was unsure as to why. Miley and the twins had been friends since they were babies as Mileys and Fred's mums were childhood best friends and with Harry being best friends with Ron it made sense she was friends with the twins. They were the same age and did everything together but with Fred something felt different somehow. She felt nervous as she read Fred's letter;

Hey Miles,
                    I can't wait to see you. Me and George have many pranks planned for the three of us this week so be ready. Sorry we haven't wrote, I was unsure about sending Erol back and forth from Romania he's a bit slow as you know. Well I'll be counting the minutes till your here.
Love your Freddie

Miley smiled and Pinned the letter to her wall above her desk and headed to bed.  She awoke super early the next morning. It was around 8am which is very early, a lot earlier than usual. She headed downstairs in excitement to see her mother and Remus enjoying a calm moment with a hot coffee together. They looked at her in shock, " Miley black you never get up this early" Remus exclaimed in shock. " someone is excited to see her friends again" Hannah chuckled as she offered her daughter some cereal and orange juice to which Miley happily accepted. Miley then headed upstairs and was determined to find the best outfit. She wasn't sure why but she felt like she had to look her best and started panicky pulling all her clothes out her drawers. She finally settled on some beige cargo jeans and a black cropped vest. She brushed her hair and applied eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. She then applied a healthy dose of her favourite perfume. She completed her outfit with a pair of trainers and headed downstairs with her newly packed trunk. Harry sat waiting with lupin. Harry wasn't majorly into fashion and mostly wore flannels and jeans. He always left his hair messy as he said it made the girls go wild, miley always thought it made him look unkept. Once miley joined the two lupin held his hand out and shouted, " ready kids?" Both Harry and miley nodded with smiles  taking one of each of his arms and within seconds miley felt the image of her cosy country cottage distort and the sight of the warm burrow started to fade into sight.
