Olive

Chapter 7

I woke up in a cold sweat and sat straight up in my bed, breathing heavy. I had awoken from my third dream about my mother that week. I took off the dream charm necklace and placed it in the brown bag. It was getting annoying to lie in Divination about my dreams, but i wasn't too keen on letting everyone know i'm having dreams about my dead mother.

It had been two weeks since me and Ginny found my mother's name in the Hogwarts yearbook and i had barely been able to think about anything but it. That was until today. I was walking with Ron and Ginny after Charms. Ginny was asking me how i was, "i heard you last night. You had another nightmare, didn't you?" she had a worried look on her face.

"Nightmare?" said Ron looking at me with a similar worried expression. I had told Ron about everything soon after me and Ginny came back from the library, they both agreed to help me get to the bottom of whatever what happening.He too agreed i should go to Dumbledore. But i hadn't told anyone of the nightmares, Ginny had just suspected.

"It's nothing, honest" i said i looked around not seeing Harry and Hermione, i thought it was a good time to change the subject. "Where's Harry, and Hermione?" i asked, noticing they were not walking with us

"Probably snogging" he said rolling his eye. This was news to me.

"I didn't even know they were together!" i said laughing a bit.

Ron gave a annoyed snorted "Yeah, i didn't either till i caught them about a month ago in the library. looked more like they were trying to eat each other's face." he said looking a little sick at the thought of his sister and best friend snogging.

There was an awkward silence. Ron broke the silence talking about a particularly difficult day in potions. Evelyn and Draco were talking throughout the entire lesson, Harry, who was trying to concentrate told them to shut it. But doing that Snape got him in trouble for talking. Ron defended Harry and he gave them both extra homework and they had to stay after class.

"Regardless if he is a bit strict, which is debatable, he is still in authority over us, so we have to respect him." i told Ron, he game me a look.

"Please don't turn into a little Hermione." said Ron he rolled his eyes, "one is plenty."

"Okay, sorry i did sound a bit bossy." i said laughing as i linked arms with Ron as we walked down the corridor to the Great Hall for Dinner. It was weird to think that when i first started coming to Hogwarts i was nervous around Ron, we had grown very close quickly. We were just friends, but i couldn't help but wonder if he thought of me more than that. And i couldn't help but feel like i wanted it to be more than that, and i wondered if he would ask me to the Yule Ball.

So here is a little note school at Hogwarts starts in September, but in this it starts in august which gives me more time with the main group of characters without adding two new schools.

Once we got to the Dining Hall he waved goodbye at me as he went to go sit with Harry, Ron and Hermione, i wasn't jealous, those were his friends years before i came. I went to go sit with Ginny, who was seated by two red headed boys i assumed were her brothers, and surprisingly Willow Jones, was seated next to the twin on the right. It looked like they were holding hands. She waved as me, but said nothing. "Hey, i don't think we have met, im Madelyn Santos." i said extending a hand to one of them, then another.

"Nice to meet you" they said at the same time. "We are Ginny and Ron's brothers." they said

"Im Fred." said the one on the right, he let go of Willow's hand to shake mine, then dropped it and they resumed holding hands.
