Chapter Fifty Two: Summer in Paris Pt.1

(Song: Paradise by Coldplay)

Leaving for Paris after what happened doesn't feel right, but I knew this opportunity came once in a lifetime.

"Vera, the car is here," my mum yelled from downstairs.

I dragged myself off of my bed. I threw my backpack over my shoulder and grabbed my trunk and Galileo's cage. I walked downstairs where Ben, Ezra, The Malfoys, and my parents were waiting to say our goodbyes.

Ben quickly helped me get my stuff in the car while I said goodbye to my family.

"We wanted to give you this," Uncle Lucius said as he held out an envelope. "Spending money for your trip," Aunt Narcissa continued.

I took the envelope.

"Thank you," I replied as I hugged them.

I moved on to my parents.

"You've got your jacket dear?" my mum asked. I giggled. "Mum it's summer," I said. "You never know Vera," she replied. I smiled.

"I'm so proud of you Vera," my father said as he hugged me.

He's never told me that before.

"Thanks dad," I said.

Then was Ezra and Draco.

"You two better not cause chaos around here when I'm gone," I said to them. "No promises, V," Ezra said. "Don't be surprised if you come back to a burned down house," Draco jokes. I laughed and punched him in the arm lightly.

"We're all set," Ben said as he waited at the entrance.

"The group will reunite in five weeks," Ezra said, holding up his hand showing off our matching Slytherin crest rings. Draco followed and then finally I held up my hand.

"We need a handshake," Ezra said, making me laugh. "We'll come up with one when I come back," I said as I hugged Ezra. Draco patted my back as I began walking out the door.

"Take care of her Ben, or I won't hesitate hexing you," Ezra said.

Ben scoffed.

"Will do," he began, "Bye everyone," Ben said waving at my family.

I looked back one last time and saw my family wave at me.

"Good luck Vera," my uncle said.

Ben shut the door behind me as we both got into the car. The driver began our trip to the train station. Lilah, Fred, George, and Jess would be meeting us there.

"Nervous?" Ben asked me. "Not really, why?" I asked. He pointed down to my hands, it seems that I was playing around with the bracelet Ced gave me.

"Oh," I said quickly, stopping my habit.

Ben laughed.

"You're going to love Paris, V," he began saying, "There's loads to do like cafe's, bookstores, music shops," he said.

I smiled.

"Thank Merlin I have you Ben, wouldn't know what to do if I was alone," I said.

A few minutes later we arrived at Kings Cross train station in London. Ben got us a trolley to put our stuff on. While we walked through the station, I saw two red heads, a brunette, and a blonde waiting for us near the waiting area.

"There's my favorite girl," George said, running up to hug me. His words made me blush slightly.

"Your train leaves in ten minutes," Lilah said.
