Anyway, fast forward to the first day of school. I ended up going to Gringotts on my own to go to the Malfoy vault to get money from my parent's account. They won't notice.

I stayed with Angel for the rest of the holidays, and it was a lot of fun. We had one week until we had to go to school and we were going in Angel's pool today.

Angeline put on her bikini.

"Hey can I borrow a bikini?" I asked.

"Yeah sure!" She smiled, chucking me a pink bikini. I smiled and pulled it on.

I heard a gasp from behind me. "Millie what's that on your back?"

I froze. I forgot about the cut in my back.

"Nothing..." I whispered, biting my lip.

"Did your dad do it?" She asked quietly.

"Yes." I could feel tears forming in my eyes. I quickly wiped them away.

"Let's just forget about this! Hit the pool!"

Angel nodded, sensing I wasn't ready to tell her about this yet.

I had never actually learnt how to swim. My parents seemed to hope I would drown one day, so they hadn't bothered to. Draco had been having classes since he was four, then having a ride on a toy broomstick afterwards. I had to sit in my room and watch him play.

Anyway, since this was more of a paddling pool, it didn't matter. We got out a plastic slide and put it in the pool, taking turns at sliding down it. It was the most fun I'd ever had in my whole entire life.

We went to bed that night tired and happy. For tea we had pizza whilst watching a muggle thing called a TV, which I was quite surprised her family had, although Angel's dad was a muggleborn. He must of grown up with them. We watched a bit of something called a "cartoon" on there, and then went to bed.

Fast forward to the day they take the Hogwarts express...!!

I woke up really early and went over to Angel's wardrobe, pulling out an old dress of hers that I knew she wouldn't mind me wearing. I was really excited; today was the day!!

Angel was already downstairs, eating Cheeriowls. I joined her at the table, too excited to eat.

"Oh come on Millie, you have to eat something!" persisted Angel. I rolled my eyes and got a bowl out of the cupboard, and gave myself a reasonable amount of Cheeriowls.

"Happy?"

"Very." She replied.
