The smell of freshly baked apple pie and vanilla filled Mileys lungs. As she let go of remus, molly pulled her into a warm mother bear hug, she held Miley's face in her hands and smiled down at the young girl " you are growing to be so beautiful dear, we are so glad to have you" miley smiled at Mrs Weasley as she released her already loose grip of Mileys face and headed to give Harry a similar hug. Miley heard what sounded like a heard of elephants racing down the stairs and before she knew it she was lifted into the air and spun in a tight hug. " I've missed you so much miles" Fred exclaimed as he squeezed miley hard. He finally placed her down and gave her a wide Smile as he stepped back to allow his brother to pull miley into a much lighter hug and pull away quicker than his brother. Molly was busy talking to Remus and Harry had already gone with Ron up to Ron's room. Before miley could even get a word in edgeways Each twin grabbed one of Mileys hands and dragged her up to there bedroom.

Miley gave Ginny a quick hello before she was pulled into the room and the door was shut. The boys both sat on there beds. Miley sat on the end of George's bed making Fred pout in sadness. " jealous are we Freddie, don't worry I'll take it in turns to give you both my affection" miley said in a mocking tone. The twins started to discuss with miley there plans. " so bill is coming over today and we thought we could slip some puking  pastilles into his food" George beamed proudly. " then we thought with your help we could convince Ron that mum is sending him to durmstrang this year" Fred said more eagerly as he sat at the edge of his bed. Miley smiled at the boys, " ok so how do I come into this" she smirked " well he won't believe it if just we said it would he" George exclaimed. " I'm in!" The two boys jumped for joy and finally George started talking to miley about Romania showing her his assortment of pictures. As they discussed this miley felt eyes on her as though Fred was looking at her. She looked up as George continued explaining their trip to a wizards market. Fred was looking at her but not the way he use to. He was starting at her in awe. George caught his brother and chuckled. Fred went red and tried to divert his attention.

Soon enough molly called the children downstairs for dinner. It was a hot day so they set a table up in the garden. " can I give you any help setting up molly? Miley asked as headed into the kitchen while the twins headed straight outside. " ah dear if you could help carry the food out that would be great Ginny has set the table." Molly suggested as she handed miley a bowl of salad and a charcuterie board. Miley took the dishes and headed out into the garden. They had enchanted fair lights to hang above the table for when it gets dark which gave it a romantic and comforting feel.

All the weasleys were sat at the table with Harry sat looking at the daily prophet with Ron. Molly followed behind miley with more trays of food as the two placed them down. Fred smiled up at miley and patted the seat next to him. Miley chuckled and complied by sitting in the empty seat. Miley reached to grab the glass jar of freshly squeezed lemonade but had her hand tapped gently by a very amused Fred who grabbed the jug and poured himself and her a glass. " I can pour myself a drink fredward, I am very capable" miley said with her arms cross to her chess. Over the summer she had changed quite a lot and had grown more mature characteristics. Her arms rested underneath her chest causing it to slightly lift. Fred looked down but back up quickly and turned his head away as he turned red quite quickly. George who was sat to Fred's left laughed at his brother then whispered something in his ear making him turn a deeper shade of red. Miley found this odd but chose to ignore it and turned to her right to talk to Ginny about her summer. They all ate happily and once they had all finished, with a flick of a wand, molly had lifted all the table wear and dishes and all that was left were jugs of juice and lemonade and quickly walked them into the kitchen.

Soon after, Hermione arrived at the garden gate. Once she walked over miley jumped up quickly and ran to Hermione and gave her a big hug.  The Rest of the table said their hellos to Hermione and they all sat and drank juice as the sun began to set. Soo it was dark and all the kids were sat laughing by a campfire as they discussed the new school year.

Mrs Weasley asked the golden trio and Ginny to start getting ready for bed but gave miley and the twins an extra hour. George said he was tired too so headed in leaving miley and Fred alone. They sat in silence for a few minutes watching the flames in the fire dance. The two were sat next to one another but with a small gap between them. Miley knew she had something to ask him but felt anxious. She looked at Fred who was already looking at her with the same look in his eyes as before. " why do you keep doing that" miley asked diverting her eyes away and placing them back on the fire. " doing what?" Fred asked as he did the same. " well I've noticed that you keep looking at me" she said still not taking her eyes of the flame her heart beating faster as she spoke. "Is that a bad thing?" Fred asked now looking up at her. She met his eyeline and stared into his deep brown eyes. " not particularly" she said and after a moment they both chuckled. " has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are" Fred asked still staring into her emeralds green eyes. Miley blushed and looked away making Fred get nervous and look away. After what felt like hours of awkward back and forth glances Fred finally stood up " we'd better head to bed before mum comes out and starts to yell" he said as he stood up and put out his hand for miley . She took it and used him to hoist herself up but instead of letting go they held on until they reached the front door. Fred let out a sigh and released him grip allowing her hand to fall to the side. They made their away upstairs fred into his room and miley into ginnys. " good night Freddie" she said with a Smile as she reached for the door handle and looked at him. " good night miles" he said with a wink and a smirk as he entered his room. Miley felt butterflies fill her stomach as she entered Ginnys room to find two sleeping girls. She climbed into her sleeping bag and drifted to sleep with Freddie's smile being her last thought.
