I have just arrived at The Weasley's. As I walked, with my broom in my hand, toward the house, a garden gnome grabbed my broom and started pulling.
"Get off!" I demanded. The little fowl git doesn't let go. So I shake my broom a little more violent causing him to fall off. I start walking again. I hear more gnomes and and the twins, who are saying, "no, get over here", "don't u dare.." As their voices get closer I hear thousands of mini footsteps heading straight toward me! I panic dropping my broom and sprint to the front door. I swung the door open and then slammed it shut. I can smell roast beef, biscuits, veggies, and pie. Yum. My breathing finally returned back to normal as I walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, Athena. Your here early. Oh, your hair is a mess." Mrs. Weasley said embracing me in a hug.
"Yeah, what happened to ur hair? Did you get in a fight with a hippogriff?" Ginny asks, and I turn toward her giving her a hug.
I laughed." Close, but no. I got in a fight with a gnome."
"Take yourself upstairs and get settled in."Mrs. Weasley said. I nodded and headed toward the stairs. I walked up each creaking step. Then finally I reached the top I walk into the normal room I stay in, small with a full size bed with a hand made quilt and pillows , I close my eyes and exhale dramatically and fall face first on the bed. All was calm and quite, for now. Some how I started thinking about last year when I lightly made-out with Draco Malfoy, well he kissed me first. We kissed in the library at Hogwarts, it was late and I was forcing him to help me finish our final assignment, we were sitting so close I could smell the Old Spice cologne on his shirt. We were talking about everything under the sun, I went to dip my quill in some ink, a piece of hair came untucked from behind my ear falling into my face. I went to tuck it behind my back behind my ear with the quill in my hand causing ink to go across the side of my face. "Shit" I said.
"What did you do?" Draco asked.
"I smeared ink across my face."
"Let me see." I turned and faced him.
"How bad is it?"
"Bloody hell." He he started laughing.
" Well if it's that bad fix it." I was getting frustrated. It was hot I unbuttoned my shirt I had a tank top on. The heat made my anger worse. He finally stopped laughing. "Sit still." He said as he gently held my chin he took a handkerchief from his pocket and started wiping my face. Once was finished he put his other hand on the side of my face. Sparks erupted from his finger tips. I was looking strait into his handsome gray-blue eyes. I looked at his lips briefly. Think about what it is like to kiss Draco Malfoy. He inched his face closer toward me. Time slowed down I felt his breath. Next thing I knew we were kissing. My heart was racing. I tried to pull away but Mother Nature was like nope. I ran my fingers through his hair. Pulling him close to me, he put his arms around my waist then his hand ventured to the hem of my skirt sparks flying where his finger tips touch my bare skin. We heard footsteps approaching and we... I sighed getting off the bed. I don't know why but a part of me wants him. Weird.
Before I changed into some PJs and brushed my hair I decided to unpack a few of my belongings. I got some hangers out of the closet to hang up some shirts so they wouldn't get wrinkled. I dig through my trunk searching for those garments and my iPod hoping it was fully charged. I finished putting my clothes up. I see an extra pocket sown into the side of my trunk. Huh. Odd. I open it and inside I see 5 silver steaks and a thick envelope. I leave the steaks in the pocket but I take the envelope out it was from my mother....
I hear two sets of foot steps coming up the stairs. It's the twins. Their steps become louder as they get closer to my door way. I panic and turn swiftly at the door way and hide the envelope behind my back.
"Sorry about your broom." George says.
"Your not mad are you?" Fred ask.
"It's alright. I'm not mad I need a new broom any way."
"What's that behind your...?" The boys begin to ask. My palms got sweaty and my mouth became dry. Thankfully before they could finish the beginning of a long interrogation Ginny's voice saved me. The twins went downstairs to see what she was hollering about. I used my wand to shut the door. I walked over to the hanging chair and plopped down sitting Indian style. I open the envelope and took out a packet of papers. Putting the empty envelope beside me I began to read the letters and words written in my mother's elegant handwriting. After I finished reading the letter for what seemed like ages. I placed it in the envelop which I put in my purse. I walked over to the bed and prop up the pillows and lean back and go back to reminiscing about Draco and how his touch felt on my skin. Of course the was no way I was the only one he had that effect on right? I drifted into a deep sleep.
