"Don't you think is time for you guys to get along? It's been three weeks and you haven't spoken since" Hermione said to me.

"It breaks my heart seeing you guys like that. I am sure that Harry wants to fix this with you" Ginny added and I sighed.

"I don't know Ginny... I mean it will always end like that. He will say something bad, then I'll say something worst" I explained and she put her arm around me.

"For now, let's just start with the basics. Then we will see" Ginny smiled and I gave back.

"Okay, I guess" I agreed and Hermione clapped her hands happy. We heard the door opening and we looked to see who was entering.

"Uhm Emily, can I speak to you?" Harry asked awkwardly and Ginny squeezed my hand.

"Now it's your time" Hermione whispered to me, before she and Ginny left the room.

"Okay so... I know that I said some hurtful things that night. I shouldn't have told that time in front of everyone what you are going through" he said with one breath. He really meant those words, he was truly sorry.

"I am sorry that I said that thing about Voldermort. That was really bad" I apologised and he nodded.

"Yes, it was. But it's okay now. I mean, are we okay?" he asked unsure. I don't know, are we?

"I guess so. But you have to promise me something" he looked at me frowning.

"Sure. What is it?" Harry asked and I took all the power to tell him.

"You must not tell Sir- I mean dad, about my problem. You have to promise me, Harry" I caught him off guard.

"Em.. This is serious. I can't just forget it" He explained but I stood up.

"This doesn't has to do with you. Promise it, Harry" I emphasized my words and he thought about it for a minute.

"Okay, I promise" he finally said and I smiled relieved.

"Great. Now we are okay"

[..]

"Bye guys! I am going to miss you!" Luna said and hugged each one of us.

"Goodbye Neville" I said while he hugged me for a couple of seconds.

"Bye Emily. Take care" he tapped my shoulder and I took my suitcase on.

"See you guys! Don't forget to send an owl!" Hermione shouted as she was walking to her parents.

I turned around trying to find my dad, but there were too many people.

"Watch were you are going" I heard a strict voice saying after I bumped on him. I looked up to see those familiar gray eyes.

"Happy holidays too, Malfoy" I said being sarcastic and he rolled his eyes.

"Go find your father, if he is not in Azkaban again" he said leaving me shocked.

"I can't deal with your shit right now" I said and passed him, going to find my dad.

I won't say that I thought that he would change, not at all. I just hoped he would at least stop saying so mean stuff to me. But in the end, he is a Malfoy and it's in his blood to act like this.
Like the villain.

"Emily, they are here" Ron somehow ended next to me. He took my hand and guided me to where our families were.

[..]

"How is the school year kids?" My dad asked looking at me and I let my fork down, ready to answer.

"Good. My grades are better in Potions than last year" I explained and he put his hand on my shoulder.

"Great job Ems. I know Snape can be a little..., tough" he said and I nodded. You tell me.

"How about you Harry?" my dad asked Harry and I stopped chewing, ready to hear the conversation.

"Well, the same with last year. All good it's just Malfoy keeps being an ass to me" when I heard Malfoy's name I felt something weird inside me, making me curious of what they would say.

"He is a complicated kid. I think you should just ignore him. He does what he does because he has no other choice" my dad said and I looked for other's reactions but they were all like mine.

My dad never speaks for the Malfoys like that. I was so surprised and confused but maybe he was just in the same position as a kid. I know he ran away from his parents so maybe its connected to that.

[..]

"Ron, this is not how you fold your clothes" I closed my mouth so I wouldn't start laughing.

"You do it then" he threw me his shirt and I layed it on the bed.

After showing him the correct way he nodded to me, like he understood.

"Come on, you try now" He took a big breath before laying the shirt on the bed, like I did.

"There you are! Well done Ron!" I clapped when I saw the final result. I mean, it wasn't perfect, but we were getting somewhere.

"Thanks Em" he blushed and I smiled at him.

"I am going to show my mum what you have just learnt me. She will be very happy, I know it" Ron said and I agreed.

[..]

The first week passed by very quickly at home. The Weasly family after the Christmas day went back to their house for the rest until school's year starts and the house had never been more quiet before.

As I finished reading my book, I stood up to give a good look on my library. I realized that I have many books, but they were all old and I didn't have any knew. My birthday were coming soon, so I guess I will just ask some from my dad.

"Can't decide huh?" my dad's voice made me jump, scaring me. He laughed a little with my reaction and came inside.

"You know, I can't understand from who you have this passion for reading. I didn't and surely your mother too" as he was talking he stood in front of me.

"They are leaving in a little for Diagon Alley to do some shopping. Are you going?" he asked.

"Hm yeah. There are some things about school I have to get" I told him and he nodded.

"Brilliant. Come downstairs when you are ready"
