Part 17- end of year

I woke up early the next morning, still in the tight grip of Freds arms. We both had gotten about 2 hours sleep between us and the feeling of not being safe still sat within. 

"morning love" he said warmly placing a kiss on my forehead "you hardly slept. you should try get at least one more hours sleep"

"I don't feel like sleeping" I buried my face in his chest "we have to pack for home anyways"

"okay but at least stay here with me for a bit longer. we won't get time alone like this over summer" he let out a short laugh "gotta make the most of it" 

I really didn't feel like moving. The paralysing thought of Voldemorts return left me with my thoughts. What is going to happen next? What will we loose along the way? My biggest concern right now is how Harry is holding up. I can't even begin to imagine what he was going through. Having to fight over and over again for his life against the man who took his parents from him when he was just a baby.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

We had all been called to the great hall for the end of year speech but knowing how this year had gone, it wouldn't be the usual positive one. The hall was filled with sadness. The once colourful flags that hung from the walls were now dark. The faces of sleep deprived children faced the front where Dumbledore stood.

"Today we acknowledge a really terrible loss.....Cedric Diggory was, as you all know exceptionally hard-working, infinitely fair-minded and most importantly a fierce, fierce friend" The words brought even more sadness to the rooms atmosphere "Now I think therefore, you have the right to know exactly how he died" Dumbledore froze in hesitation before continuing "you see... Cedric Diggory was murdered by Lord Voldemort" gasps filled the hall followed by whispers. I looked over to Harry who kept his head down the whole time "The ministry of magic does not wish me to tell you this... but not to do so, I think would be an insult to his memory. Now the pain we all feel at this dreadful loss reminds me and reminds us, that while we may come from different places and speak in different tongues... our hearts beat as one. In light of recent events the bonds of friendships we have made this year, will be more important than ever. Remember that, and Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain. You remember that" I felt Freds hand intertwine with mine giving a reassuring squeeze "and we will celebrate a boy who was kind and honest, brave and true right until the very end"

After the speech had ended we all just sat there in a respectful silence for a minute or two before being ushered out. We could feel eyes resting upon Harry, carefully watching the boy who lived. 

When we got back to the common room only short conversations were spoke. The twins however, like usual, tried to lighten the mood as much as they could but even with this, they still felt down. "are you joining us for summer y/n?" Ginny turned to me with a light smile 

"personally I think you should spend the whole summer" Fred joked 

"As much as I would love to spend the whole summer, I think in the circumstances I will spend as much of the first half with my mum and join you later on" I replied knowing how much I would miss them all, especially Fred. I looked to Fred who looked as if he felt the same "it will go by so fast you won't even realise I was gone" I placed my hand on his shoulder 

"We will miss you. will you write?" Ron asked 

"All the time" a smile formed on there faces. As we sat there Harry entered after he was held behind by Dumbledore after the assembly. I took this as my chance to speak to him. 

"Harry" I said causing him to stop "can we talk?" he slightly nodded. I lead him to the back of the room away from the others "I can't even begin to imagine how you are feeling right now, but just know you can always talk to me"

"thank you y/n that means a lot" a faint smile appeared on his face

"If those Dursleys give you any trouble at home let me know and I will get Fred and George onto them" we both let out a small laugh which brightened the mood a little "I will write to you as much as I can from home" 

"are you not staying with the others?"

"I will be. Just spending the first half having time with my mum"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

It was finally time for us to go and board the train. I had just about finished packing and thought I would go check on the boys and make sure they had too. 

As I entered the room, I surprisingly saw that they had both fully packed. "ready to go?" I asked

"I will give you two a moment" George laughed whilst grabbing his stuff before heading out closing the door behind him 

"what was that about?" I was puzzled

"I asked him before you got here if he could leave us for a moment" he smiled bringing me into a hug "I'm gonna miss you so much"

"I will miss you too Fred. It's only three weeks and I will write to you lots" I reached up to place a kiss on his cheek 

"you missed" he grinned before pulling me into a deep kiss moving his hands to my waist pulling me closer. As we pulled away from the kiss he looked down at me smiling "now don't go forgetting about me and go off snogging some muggle"

"well if you reply to my letters I am sure I won't forget you" I commented sarcastically 

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

The train journey home went by quite swiftly. I was sitting with Fred and George but passed in between with Harry, Ron and Hermione throughout the ride. When we reached the platform we were greeted by Molly and Arthur with bright loving hugs. 

"Mum guess what" Fred pulled away from his mothers hug taking my hand into his

"oh I already know" she smiled looking at us both "A mother always knows and I knew from the start" she pulled me into a long hug "I am so happy for you both" 

"alright mum don't go crushing my girlfriend" Fred joked as she released me from the hug 

"I assume we will see you later on in summer. Have a good one. Now come on Molly let them have there goodbyes" Arthur said turning her away from us. I looked up to Fred who had a sad look on his face 

"It feels weird saying goodbye. Last year it would have been easy but it's different now" he said looking down to me 

"I know but it won't be for long" we pulled each other into one last hug ending with him placing a short but sweet kiss on my forehead before saying goodbye.
