That Damn Weasley Charm II G.W

Part 2, Chapter 25- Goodbye For Now

The last few weeks of the term fly by in a hot blur. Teachers and students alike stopped taking things seriously, rather than teaching us things from our textbooks they asked us what we wanted to learn and taught us that. Everyone except Snape of course who still took his lessons very seriously.

"You ready for the summer?" Emma asks on our final night. She shoves her clothes in her trunk without folding anything. "Hey, come sit on this for me?"

I go over and plop onto the top of her trunk so she can do the buckles up. "Excited? Not in the slightest. Mister Weasley won the Daily Prophet galleon draw and they are taking the entire family to Egypt to visit their eldest son Bill. Meaning I won't have any place to sneak off to if I get tired of my aunt and uncle."

Emma does up the buckle on her trunk and I hop off it. "And to top it all off we no longer have a house-elf! Which I'm not overly upset about because Uncle Lucius abused poor Dobby for years on end but he was great company and I'm going to miss him loads."

"I wish I am going to be around this year so you'll have someone to talk to but my parents want to go back to France. They're talking about staying there forever you know. Enrolling me into the Beaux Batons or whatever its called over there."

My heart sinks, I lost Clarissa last year, I can't lose Emma this year. "Oh really? Do you have a say in any of it?" I go over to my trunk and carefully put the rest of my books and things inside it.

"If I get ten OWLs then I can stay. Other than that they say they will lie about my age and put me back a few years at the new school." Emma plops on my bed and scoops Fergus into her lap. "Which I don't think is very fair. Especially since I don't speak a lick of French and I think it might be ab all-girls school."

I buckle up my trunk and dust my hands off on my jeans. "Oh, what a shame that will be." I joke around. Emma throws a cork from an empty bottle at me and I laugh.

We wake up early so we can get to the train on time the next morning. Getting Fergus into his carrying cage is a fight but with the help of both Emma and Walter, we make it work.

"You think that the house cat's original owner just couldn't get it in the carrying cage so they just left him here?" Walter asks grabbing the handle of his trunk.

We all look over at the massive old cat sprawled out on the couch. "Dunno. I feel kind of bad for it. Maybe you should take it home with you Wally."

Walter looks at me, then back at the cat. "Mums allergic. Can't bring any pet home. Rather annoying really." We shrug and head out of the common room and out of the castle.

When we get to the platform we lug all our things into the Slytherin car before dashing down the train to the booth that the twins normally sit in. We burst through the doors and plop down with them. I kiss George on the cheek and listen as he ensures Lee that they will do their slinky prank some other time because the school locked down this year and it would have been inappropriate. Not long after Walter, Emma, and I sat down in the booth, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all come in and squeeze onto the benches.

"So what exactly happened down in the chamber?" Walter asks after the train pulls out of the Hogwarts station.

Harry and Ron jump at the opportunity to tell their longwinded and exciting story of what they got up to. Harry seemed to have put an emphasis on saving Ginny's life which made her blush, something I think only I notice.

Hours pass and we are nearly pulling into kings cross station when Harry says, "Ginny, what did you see Percy doing that he didn't want you to tell anyone?"

George, who was napping five seconds ago, springs his head up and focuses on the conversation at hand suddenly. I pully my sleeve over my thumb and wipe George's chin. "You got some drool there genius," I say to him.

Ginny giggles bringing the attention back to her, "Well, Percy's got a girlfriend!" She squeals.

Fred drops a stack of books on George's head, "Ow! You idiot! It's not that shocking, I've got a girlfriend!"

"Yeah but I never thought Percy would have found one before me!" Fred says. He picks the books up from the floor and George's lap.

"It's that Ravenclaw Prefect, Penelope Clearwater. That's who's he's been writing to all last summer. He's been meeting her all over the school in secret. I walked in on them kissing in an empty classroom one day."

"I wish you lot would sneak around so I didn't have to see all that," Ron says to George and me.

"See what? This?" George takes my chin in between his thumb and index finger, turns my head towards him and kisses me very sloppily making me laugh against his lips.

"He was so upset when she was- you know- attacked," Ginny says completely ignoring George's and my laughter. "You won't tease him about it will you?"

Fred shakes his head no even though it looks like his birthday came early, "Wouldn't dream of it. What about you there Georgie boy?"

George and I are still laughing at ourselves and goofing off. "Hmm? Oh yeah, definitely not. Don't worry about that for a second little sister." He reaches across the gap and ruffles Ginny's hair.

When the train stops everyone but George and I rush out of the cabin to get their things and meet their parents. "Have fun this summer. Your family deserves it." I say to George. I take his hands in mine and just kind of hold them.

"mmmm, just going to suck not being able to see you all summer and send you all of the things that we find in Egypt."

I stand on my tippy toes because he's gotten quite a lot taller this year and kiss him on the lips. "Don't you mind that. But do me one favour?" George hums lightly. "Don't fall in love with some exotic Egyptian witch."

George laughs, "Course not. I wouldn't even dream of it."

I kiss him on the lips again. "Oh! Can you also steal me a rock or something cool from a pyramid?"

George laughs again and agrees to try and steal me something from one of the pyramids he visits. I kiss him goodbye one last time before racing down the train back to the Slytherin car, grabbing my things and stepping off the train to meet my aunt and uncle.

"Violet! There you are! We've missed you so much!" Aunt Narcissa pulls me in for a hug. Draco is already beside his father telling him about how Potter saved the day once again. But by the look on Uncle Lucius' face, he already knows exactly what happened.

"Let's go, please. I don't want to be stuck behind some useless muggles all the way back home." Uncle Lucius says angrily. Auntie helps me with my trunks and we walk down the platform to the entrance to 9 and ¾ passing the Weasley family as we do.

I don't say anything to them in fear that I'll upset uncle Lucius more than he already is so I slow my pace and I wave at Molly, Arthur, and all of their children when Auntie and Uncle can't see before jogging to catch up with them.

"So how was your year you two? Besides the whole Chamber of Secrets ordeal?"
