Invisible String | A Harry Potter FanFiction

The Head Girl Of Ravenclaw (Year 7)

Fred woke me up with tender kisses around my face. When my face scrunched awake me smiled at me lying back down to my chest. He smiled at me as I looked down at him.

"You got all your stuff packed?" He asked.

Yes. But I didn't want to go. I wanted to spend more time with Fred. I didn't wanna go to the beach with my family. But I had to go. Molly insisted mum wanted to spend more time with me. I'll spare you the details but after I said bye to the Weasleys my life went back to normal. Same old sad stuff with nothing exciting.

Sure we went to the beach house we always go to, but something was different about it, I don't know how to describe it, but it was different. It was like a dark shadow crossed over the world, and we had to sit back and watch. I don't know it just didn't feel the same.

About a day into our trip Lilian's owl came up the beach house with my birthday letter from her. She said that the letter had arrived at the Borrow but she had it come back when she was told that you weren't there. She sent me a gift card and a lot of sweet words scrambled into one card.

A week into our trip my brother Joseph spotted a dementor just chilling on the grounds of the beach. I told my mum I would go straight back to the borrow after the beach trip and she agreed and told me that that was alright.

I do enjoy the beach, mostly I enjoy water, and swimming. You'd think after a traumatic experience with a shark once I'd be scared, but not anymore. I love swimming, I found it's a good way to clear your mind.

Our trip was cut short tho, my dad was called to the Ministry. He doesn't know what for but he was told it was urgent. I had to stay with my brother, Katie Bell wasn't at her house because our trip was short, so I couldn't go straight to the borrow. Oh well, gave me some quality time with Joseph. He was talking about how it doesn't seem joyful anymore, like how the whole world seems to be covered completely in this essence that made it depressing. I told him it was nothing for him to worry about.

When I got to the borrow it was only the next day when Harry arrived. Hermione had already been there, and Ginny was particularly happy about it. We spent the next week just messing around. We celebrated Harry's birthday, and played a lot of Quidditch in the backyard. It was nice playing against Harry with the new equipment, gave me a lot of chances to practice before the season starts.

It was there when I realized that Hogwarts was going to be dangerous this year. Mum sent a letter telling me that it was up to me if I wanted to go back. I told her I wasn't missing my last year. Joseph however was told to stay behind, but after a bit of convincing, mum told me to keep him safe, and keep an eye on him.

Molly wanted everyone to stay back, but seeing that Harry, Ron, and Hermione was going back, I thought I could be brave enough. Besides, my last year, who in their right mind would miss their last year?

A lot of the days were back and forth from the borrow to the joke shop. Me and Fred were almost inseparable. He even got me working at the front desk, helping check out customers. So I got a quick buck or two working from the twins. I told him I could work for free, but he told me that he'll cover my school supplies for this year if I work. It was a deal I couldn't refuse.

When the kids came by the shop it was chaos. They had happened to come when everyone decided to go shopping in the alley. Hermione came up to me and waved at me, and asked how me and Fred were. After telling her everything, and showing her the stuff he got me, she was really happy for me.

Ginny stuck around the front desk just hanging out, she said I had better have my game face on for this year, Harry's the Captain now, he'll make a strong team. I told her that the game was on and I couldn't wait. It was here where I found out she had a little thing going on with Dean Thomas. I told her that her taste was questionable, which is rebutted saying that dating her brother is questionable.

Fred and I spent the night at the apartment above the shop, but we couldn't get away with anything with George just around the corner. So most of the night was me trying to hold in my laughter, and Fred doing everything in his power to make me.

Around August I had gotten a letter from Lilian. She asked me if I was going back to Hogwarts and after I told her yes, she told me go for me but she probably wouldn't be returning. I talked, hopefully, some sense into her, I didn't wanna go through my last year without her. She wrote me back the next day saying she'll think about it.

I then got a letter from Hogwarts, saying that I was going to be Head Girl this year. I was elated. But once it was time for Hogwarts, I realized that Fred was going to be in the real world, and I was gonna be stuck in Hogwarts still. He took me on several dates through in the month of August. The weather was perfect, and the dates were so romantic. But I was still going to miss him, I would be alone in Hogwarts without my bestfriend. He reasurred me that the walls of Hogwarts couldn't keep him out, and he'll try his very best to sneak visits with me. I told him he was crazy and after taking the romantic gesture seriously I realized just how much I appriciated him.

September 1st, aka my last first day of Hogwarts. There was something bittersweet about it, but I was still excited. Quidditch with all my new stuff, the parties, and most importantly having an upperclassmen as my date to the 7th Year Gala.

Fred couldn't stop hugging me when I was going to leave. He said he was going to miss me, and that he'll write. When I finally escaped he acted like he was crying and I walked up to him and planted a kiss on him. He eased into it and hugged me one more time.

"I'll write." He said, "stay safe."

I smiled and apparated out. I picked up my brother from Katie's, as he felt for the first time was it was like to apparate. He said it felt horrible. When we got onto the express he ran to go sit with his friends. I stood in the doorway of the express with my peers, welcoming them to the express. When The Golden Trio passed, I smiled at Harry, sideyed Ron, and hugged Hermione.

When I spotted Lilian I almost flew out of my spot, but I waited for her to come to me.

"So glad you decided to come this year." I said.

"Well you owe me." She said, going into the train.

"Well that was fast, we seem to be down a quarter of our school." The slytherin head boy said.

I shrugged it off saying, "I got the first watch."

I caught two people making out, I ignored them for a little, but when it looked like it was going a bit too far I pulled them off one another with my wand. I caught a first year trying to steal sweets from the trolly, and ultimately went back to sit with Lilian.

Lilian was sitting with Danny and his friends. His friends were Cedric's friends, and that made me a little sad. But now when I think of Cedric I get happy memories, unforgettable ones that have altered my brain. But there will always be apart of me that will always love him, and I will treasure it forever. I enjoyed the rest of the ride home, listening to the conversation all of them were having.

When we got to Hogwarts, we sorted the first years, had a feast, and headed back to the dormitory. I looked around at Ravenclaw with Cho, she was at my right with Lilian on my left. We all searched around.

"So, who do you thinks gonna try out this year?"

"I don't know." I said.

And after hanging out with the two of them, I sent my first of probably many letters to Fred. Telling him that I had arrived at Hogwarts safely, and told them about the weird first years. I didn't expect a response so fast because about an hour later my owl came by and dropped a letter on my lap. I read and he told me about Molly, and how she's worried sick.

I wrote back and went to sleep.

It was another year at Hogwarts, and I'm sure it won't be as bad as people are worrying it to be. I laid down, and looked at my nightstand of the photo of me and Fred. He's hugging me from behind, a smile wide across his face. While I when my eyes closed, enjoying the feeling. I began to miss it and hugged myself with my own arms. I felt silly, but it was true. Then again, distance is just a test to see how far love can travel. Falling asleep without Fred was almost impossible now, but I knew that this was only temporary.
