silent sun

we're back

Luna, Neville, Ginny, Hannah abbott, and Audrey climbed into a carriage, waiting to be taken up to Hogwarts.

the golden trio made they're way out of the train, Audrey watched as they searched for a empty carriage, "here, Ronald you go sit with Ginny, there's only two seats left here." Hermione said as she climbed into a carriage full of chatty Gryffindors.

Ron scoffed as he turned away from Hermione, and made his way to Audrey.

Ron always enjoyed Audrey's company, but not Luna, nor Neville.

thank godric Ron thought as he looked to see the only seat left in the carriage was next to Audrey.

"hello Ron," Luna said in her usual airy voice as Ron climbed into the carriage. he only gave her a small smile in return.

Audrey moved over an inch or two, to make sure Ron had enough room.

he placed himself next to her and shot her a smile as the carriage began to move.

they knees brushed together slightly, causing heat to rise to Audrey's face.

hoping the sudden new color to her face would go unnoticed, she turned to Ron. "how was your summer?"

"it was alright," he said kindly. there was a bump in the path, and they're legs rubbed against each other, Ron began to turn the color of his hair. "and yours?" his voice cracked a bit as he spoke.

"quite boring actually," she said quietly, "why don't you ever visit the burrow? you know, for Ginny of course."

"i think i will this summer, for Ginny." she replied, barely above a whisper.

"what about me?" Ginny asked, pulling herself out of her own conversation with Luna.

"nothing Gin," she said.

***

the sorting was over, and it was now time for the feast.

Audrey ate and ignored dumbledore as he went on and on about the new DADA professor.

Luna and Audrey were sitting at the end of the Ravenclaw table with a few older kids.

Audrey filled her plate with an assortment of different foods and desserts.

"Audrey," said a boy behind her, she turned her head, to see none other then Lee Jordan hovering above her. "oh, hello Lee,"

Audrey had only spoken to lee a few brief times, only when they were both with the twins.

"our boys have a little note for you," he said, handing her a tiny piece of parchment, Audrey knew he meant the twins.

she looked over to the red heads, they were watching intently and smiling, Fred winked when he saw Audrey looking.

"thanks Lee," she replied with a small smile.

"what is it," Luna asked curiously as Lee walked away, and Audrey turned back around, "i'm not sure,"

she unraveled it, and read it out loud to Luna, not caring who heard her.

"Gryffindor common room, 10pm, bring whoever."

"would you like to come to, whatever this is." she chuckled a bit as she spoke. "sure, anything for you."

***

Audrey unpacked with Luna in they're shared dorm, waiting to go meet the twins.

Audrey wasn't sure what it was they were doing exactly, so she decided to wear slightly baggy jeans, and a long sleeve blue tank top.

"so, there's a hogsmead trip this weekend." Audrey said, making small talk. "i think me and Ginny are gonna go, if you would like to join us."

"i can't, i have a blood moon to prepare for." Luna said casually, Audrey almost never knew what Luna was talking about, but that just made it all the more interesting.

"oh, okay. next time," Audrey replied as she attempted to understand what one does to prepare for a blood moon.

"well, we should probably start walking to Gryffindor common room." Audrey said as she looked at the clock

9:38

Audrey and Luna walked in silence, wands out and lit, having little to no light in the halls.

Audrey admired the castle as she gilded through the halls, checking out all the portraits, getting a few glares for waking them.

"ah darling, bout time you showed up," Fred said as Audrey and Luna approached the twins.

"hello Fred, what are we here for exactly?" she asked, brows knitting together.

"the welcome party of course!" George said, taking Audrey's hand, pulling her towards. "a party?" she asked, frowning.

"it'll be fun, promise." Fred said before telling the fat lady the password. as the door opened you could hear the music blaring, and a strong smell of alcohol.
