The drum of the motor's car was loud in the little countryside, shaken by the bumpy road which lead the way through gigantic flower fields. Summer felt like this, you thought. Like this hot wind slapping your face and pulling out your hair through the open window of the car. Tiny almond sunglasses falling on the tip of your nose, a strawberry gum in your mouth while you turned up the volume of the radio, you couldn't feel better than now.

'No I can't forget this evening, of your face as you were leaving, but I guess it's just the way the story goes'. you sang along with Mariah Carey.

The music was blasting as you drove towards the setting sun where Cedric was awaiting for you near the village of Ottery St Catchpole. You knew your way since you had come here the last four summers. But now you had your car, which enabled you and Cedric to go everywhere you wanted.

The lonely road showed suddenly a tree. A single abnormal tree, where you turn at the very last moment entering a hidden road for the muggles.

'I CAN'T LIVE IF LIVING IS WITHOUT YOU-OUH-OUH' you screamed holding the wheel tightly.

You moved your body dramatically at the rhythm of the music, slapping your back on the seat. Your back...you looked at yourself in the rearview mirror, the beginning of a scar could be seen on your left shoulder. And you knew how nasty it was. You slowly stopped moving frenetically but kept singing. It was hard to know this would permanently stay. When you left high school two months ago, Remus couldn't even looked you in the eyes to say goodbye.

As for Sirius Black, he had escaped, and you knew it was for the better. His escape had left you a mark, a scar, though you knew Harry's adventure reserved you a lot more. Dumbledore had called you in his office when you had felt better, assigning you a mission no one could know about. You had asked him about a lot more but he seemed not ready to answer you. Was it the right thing to do ? Trust blindly an old man so secretive and mysterious? This was a mess, but you had promised yourself to investigate as soon as you were going back to school.

School, well one memory of it was haunting you. You could feel again the soft hand of George into yours, his calm and steady breath, his hot skin against yours. He had slept with you on that night in the infirmary. And the two other nights after. And you had never slept better. No nightmares or scary thoughts. You had had very late night talks, laughing and getting to know each other. On the last night before you all went back home and school was over, he had let one of his t-shirt on your bed, for you to sleep with it in the summer. He always left early in the morning, somehow it made your chest ache. But you ignored it.

However you had gotten closer with Fred by daylight. He'd come in the morning, spend the day with you, bringing you flowers or stolen objects (which for one was the quill of Professor McGonagall) getting him in trouble every time. He even had learn a charm for you, one which made the ceiling above your bed a window into wherever you wanted to be. A field full of lowers, a beach... His kindness had grown into your heart a soft spot.

You couldn't ignore anymore that you three were friends, though for Fred things were more complicated. And for George, you kept ignoring each other in public but something had shifted, you cared for each others.

You suddenly stopped your car, for a tall handsome boy just appear before it.

'You can't listen to Mariah without me !' Cedric yelled.

Your heat beat fast and he opened the door of the passenger seat. You continue to drove till Cedric's house a few meters away. It was a beautiful cottage house and could have appeared normal except for all the little details you knew by heart now. Like the anti-gnomes spell shield in the garden or the portal in the tree leading directly to London. The Diggory's were a powerful and renown family mind you.
