~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It'd been a week since Estella got the howler from her mother. She was unusually quiet, scared for what was going to happen to her during holiday and over the summer. She knew she would be able to stay at school over holiday, but summer? This wasn't something an 11 year old girl was supposed to be worrying about.

Her classmates and her were at lunch on a Sunday, post was arriving soon. Oh how Estella had learned to hate the post, that stupid howler. It embarrassed her for sure, and it left her with no home. The only home she had right now was Hogwarts. And quite frankly, that was all she needed in the moment.

"Ooh lookie here Georgie, we've got some mail!" Fred pointed up to the clumsy owl named Erol who fell onto the table, dropping off a note. George picked it up and tore the wax seal off. He mouthed the note as he read it and when he got to a certain point he beamed. "What does it say?" Fred asked.

"Look!" George pointed to the letter, Fred leaned over his shoulder and read it, the ginger boy beamed too. "Stella can we talk to you for a sec?"

"Uh- sure," the two boys got up and lead her to right outside the great hall.

"We have great news!" George said.

"Yea, we told our mum about your uh-" Fred looked at George.

"Your, situation," George continued. "And..."

"She said that you can live with us!"

"At the burrow!"

"With the rest of our family!"

"Only if you want to though," George said and the two looked at her for an answer.

"Really? I don't wanna intrude-" Estella began.

"Oh no! Mum said it was fine!" Fred smiled.

"Yea she said you can sleep in Ginnys bedroom!" George said.

"She's our younger sister!"

"Oh my god, thank you guys so much!" Estella pulled the boys in for a bear hug, leaning her face against one of their chests. "I love you guys."

"Anytime."

Estella walked into the Great hall, she spotted all of her friends sitting around the table already and ran over to them.

"Hey," Estella took a seat in between the twins.

"Oh," Lee said and rolled his eyes jokingly. "It's you."

"Oh, please, you're not still on about that?" Estella grabbed a chicken leg off the serving plate.

"Yes, we hold grudges," George winked.

"Im surprised, Sallow, you should know this, being our friend for 6 years and all," Fred nudged her side with his elbow.

"The only way to win us back is to apologize," Lee wiggled his eyebrows.

"Alright, fine." Estella stood up and put a serious face on. The boys stared up at her, not ready for her speech.

"I, Estella Sallow, am DEEPLY sorry for my actions this evening. I am truly disappointed in what I have done. I cannot BELIEVE that I sat with my boyfriend during lunch, and that I would EVER do that to you three." the boys snorted out laughter. "I can only hope that you accept my most sincere apology."
