It had been a week and I was bored already. Fred and I were writing letters to each other. Mostly, Errol was flitting to my house with a letter. However, he was always running into a wall or a window. After a while, I started to send my letters with my owl, Athena. I gave this name to her because it was the name of the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare and these traits were things I valued a lot. She was a barn owl and I liked it because she had a heart shape on her face, which in my opinion, made her even cuter.
I couldn't say I was bored a lot. We were going to cinema or shopping with Hermione. I was now at home, trying to find some movies I could watch. Hermione went with Mom to get some groceries. I found Grease which made me chuckle. The film made me remember me and Fred and I didn't even know why.
I heard the doorbell and ran the door. I opened it to see my mother and Hermione with maybe 10 plastic bags. I helped them carry the bags. "Alinda," Hermione said and I looked at her. "I saw a new bookstore just down the street. I was wondering if you wanted to go there..." I nodded. "Of course, I am actually bored out of my mind right now! Just give me a sec, so I can get ready." She smiled and I went upstairs to my room.
I got dressed and when I was combing my hair, I had an idea. I could write what happened between me and Fred. After years, we could read and remember these memories. I quickly looked for a diary. Finally, I found a green diary and I placed it on my desk.
I went downstairs when I was ready and we left the house together. We were walking down the street looking at the shops when I stopped in front of a coffee shop. "Coffee?" We went into the coffee shop and my eyes met someone who was actually familiar to me.

"Kate!" I said, hugging her. I couldn't believe my luck. "What are you doing here?" "We came here for a week with my family." She smiled. Then a boy came near us and gave Kate a coffee. "This is my boyfriend, Josh!" Josh and I shook hands. "Nice to meet you, Josh. My name's Alinda." I said. "Nice to meet you too, Alinda." He shook hands with Hermione too and excused himself. "Oh my god, you got yourself a boyfriend. I'm very happy for you!"
"Thanks, Ally." We got into the line after we said goodbye to Kate. I got a Caramel Macchiato and Hermione had a cappuccino. We got out of the coffee bar, looking at Kate once again and sending her waves. We finally found the bookstore and went in to find a heaven with shelves. There were not only books, but films, magazines, toys and other useful things.
I looked at a shelf and pulled out a random book. Its name was Pride & Prejudice. I heard it from somewhere. I think my mom told me about it. I looked at the back of the book. It was about two characters named Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. I decided to read it, so I put it under my arm to pay for it.
We looked through the books and picked some books we were interested in. Hermione had a lot of book, making me wonder how she had the time to read them all at Hogwarts. I was mostly hanging out with the twins and pranking people. Yeah that's me... I was the brains of the group. Fred planned the prank and I checked his plan. If it has a problem or if it was dangerous and risky. George prepared the necessary materials. It was always like this. Everyone had their role and we didn't have a problem with it.
We came back home when it was 8 o'clock at night. Mom was sitting with Dad at the living room. Hermione went in and hugged them. I looked at them sympathetically leaning on the door frame.
Mom called me with her hand and I joined them. Nobody could make me feel happy and comfortable like my family, except the Weasleys.
I went upstairs to my bedroom and I jumped on my bed. I was excited to be with Fred again. Suddenly, a clattering window make me come back to reality. I saw Athena grasping a letter in her claws. I opened the window with a swift move. When I opened the envelope carefully, I saw Fred's name written with a sloppy handwriting.
Dear Alinda,
I know that there are only two weeks for you to come to the Burrow but I've missed you already. I can't wait to hug you and watch a film together. Don't forget to bring a film or something entertaining with you. George and I have some ideas for our joke shop and I'm pretty excited to tell you the news. See you soon!
Lots of Love, Fred.
I smiled and quickly jumped from my seat. I sat to my desk and started to write a letter for him.

Dear Fred,
I'm bored out of my mind here. We usually go out with Hermione. However, it doesn't feel the same without you. I was just looking through some films today and found a perfect film for us! Hope you'll like it. Can't wait to see you!!
Yours truly, Alinda
When I was satisfied with it, I gave it to Athena and watched her fly into the darkness. I decided to go to bed. I wore my pajamas and laid on my bed. After a few minutes, I finally fell asleep.
