"see you later cho!" Audrey said, waving to her friend as she walked away with Cedric, off to his dorm.

"theyre totally shagging," ginny laughed, as she walked off the quidditch pitch with Audrey.

"not yet," Audrey giggled, remembering cho's comment for that morning.

"i'll see you tomorrow, neville asked me to help him find some plant." ginny said, hugging his friend bye.

"have fun,"

Audrey walked to her dorm quietly, thinking about the game.

when she got into the common room, it was full of celebrating Ravenclaws, begging her to party with them.

"i have to shower, guys!" Audrey laughed, pulling away from they're hands.

she walked into her room, and found luna reading.

"how was your game?" she asked, taking a break from her book.

"amazing," she said, pulling her helmet off. "we beat the shit of out them."

as Audrey pulled off her sweaty boats, she noticed a letter on her pillow.

"hey, do you know who brought this?" Audrey asked as she picked it up.

"i'm sorry, i don't." luna shrugged, flipping to the next page.

Audrey ripped the envelope open, and began to read.

to miss hammond or who it may concern, we have received news from your aunt.
she has awoken and would like you to come back and visit her, if you wish to go please make your way to professor Dumbledores office at 11am tomorrow.

from, professor McGonagall.

"oh my gosh," Audrey said, her eyes filling with tears. "what's wrong?" luna asked, looking up at Audrey.

"lacy woke up."

"so if dean comes asking for you, i say what exactly?" ginny asked, as she walked with Audrey to breakfast.

"tell him," she said, "you have absolutely no idea where i am."

ginny stared at her, shock coated on her face.

"i know," she sighed, "he hasn't apologized, and he didn't show up to my game yesterday, so why would i tell him where i'm going?"

"your right," ginny nodded, "you owe him nothing."

they walked into the great hall, and went there separate ways, ginny to the Gryffindor table, and Audrey to Ravenclaw.

a few Ravenclaws clapped as she approached, making Audrey smile.

she ate quickly, and then went to her apartment to watch tv till she had to leave.

it was finally time for her to go see lacy, and she was bouncing off the walls.

she knocked on Dumbledores office, and waited for a reply.

"come in, miss hammond." he called out, as she obeyed.

"we have been seeing each other quite a bit lately." he said, handing her the portkey, which was a comb.

"that we have," she said, taking the comb into her hands, and being transported back to her flat.

"Audrey!" isa exclaimed, throwing his arms around her.

"it's good to see you to, isa," she laughed, hugging her cousin back.

"i've been waiting on you to go see lacy," isa said, smiling up at her cousin.

"well then cmon," Audrey said, ushering her out the door.

they took the city bus to the hospital, and quickly walked inside.

"hey girls!" the nurse from last time she was here called out as they walked into the hospital. "she's been asking for you,"

he walked the girls to lacy's room, the only sound was they're foot steps.

"isa!" lacy exclaimed as they walked into the room. "Audrey," she smiled.

the girls sped walked to her bed, quickly throwing they're arms around her.

"i've missed you," Audrey said, squeezing her aunt tightly.

"how long will be here?" lacy asked, hugging the girls back. "just today, i've missed to much school lately.."

the girls let go of her, and sat in the arm chairs next to her bed.

"do you need anything? food, water?" Audrey asked, "better pillows?"

"no thank you," she laughed lightly, "they're keeping me very well fed."

the girls talked for an hour, before isa fell asleep in the armchair.

"could i get some advice?" Audrey asked, playing with her necklace. "you know id never tell you no,"

"i have a boyfriend, dean." Audrey said, watching her aunts face lit up. "is he cute?" she smiled, being over the moon to talk to her niece about boys.

"yeah, he is." she gave a soft smile, "so, what has he done?" she asked.

Audrey explained everything to her, the picnic, all the fights, and the accusations.

"wow," she sighed, "yeah,"

"cho says i need to set boundaries," she explained, "cho sounds like a smart women," she laughed.

"she is, but her relationship is also perfect," she said, pinching her wrist. "so she doesnt understand."

"trust me, i have been in my fair share of bad relationships." lacy scoffed, "this one is salvageable, as long as you communicate to him."

"you sound like cho," she sighed, feeling her wrist start to bleed.

"you know," lacy said, readjusting her pillows. "i always thought you'd end up with that neville kid, such a sweet boy."

"neville is my friend lace," Audrey laughed, "plus, i think he's like, in love with luna, or maybe even ginny."
