the joke shop

Sage had spent the last week of break with the Weasley's, they had one more week left. She sat in Ron's room with Harry and Hermione with a paper floating and burning in front of them. "So when did you get here?" Harry asked.

"A few days ago," Hermione replied.

Harry looked over at Sage, "About a week ago," Sage said.

"How are you feeling?" Harry asked.

Harry had visited her in the hospital when she was there. "I feel fine, thank you," Sage answered.

"I wasn't sure I was coming back..." Hermione admitted.

"Mum sort of lost it last week," Ron explained, "Said Ginny and I had no business going back to Hogwarts. That it was too dangerous,"

"Oh come on!" Harry groaned.

Sage and Hermione looked at each other, "She's not alone," Hermione said, "Even my parents, who are muggles, no something bad is happening,"

"Dad was the same way, at least earlier in the summer. The day I got back," Sage said.

"Anyways I stepped in," Ron continued, "Said she was speaking rubbish and it took a few days but we convinced her,"

"This is Hogwarts we're talking about," Harry defended, "It Dumbledore, what could be safer?"

Hermione sighed, "There's been a lot of talks recently about how Dumbledore's getting old..." Hermione said.

"Rubbish!" Harry exclaimed, "He's only what?"

"150," Ron answered and then grinned "Give or take a few years..."

The four of them burst out laughing.

Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes

Sage pushed open the door to the Twins' new joke shop. Fred and George were yelling things out and Sage looked around. It was amazing.

Sage walked over to Ginny and Hermione who was looking at love potions. Sage picked one up "Hello ladies!" The twins said as they walked over to them.

"Love potions eh?" George questioned, "Yeah they really do work,"

"Then again the way we hear you, sis," Fred said, "You're doing just fine on your own,"

"Meaning?" Ginny questioned.

"Are you not currently dating Dean Thomas?" Fred asked.

"It's none of your business," Ginny said and looked back at the love potions, then walked away.

Sage looked at Hermione who was looking off in the distance, Sage turned her head to see Cormac McLaggen looking at Hermione. "He's cute," Sage commented.

Hermione shook her head "Really Sage?" She asked, "Was that necessary?"

Sage shrugged "Guess so,"

"You're the one talking when you had the most popular boy in school after you," Hermione teased.

Sage looked at her "Draco?" She questioned.

"Cedric" Hermione corrected. Sage looked down at the mention of Cedric "Oh my god I did not just say that. I'm sorry Sage,"

Sage shrugged "It's fine," she said, and out of the corner of her eye she saw Cho with her friends. "I'm gonna go,"

Sage walked over to Cho who smiled as she walked over "Hello Sage," she greeted.

"Hey Cho," Sage said and smiled. Sage's hand brushed up against Cho's. Cho looked at her friends who were busy talking.

"Come on," Cho said and started walking in the opposite direction. Sage followed after her.

Cho pushed the entrance door open and walked outside, Sage felt the cold breeze on her face. Cho had a hold of her hand and pulled her into an alleyway. "Cho-"

"Sage are you alright? I heard about what happened but my parents wouldn't let me visit you," She asked.

"It's okay Cho, I'm okay, I'm okay now," Sage reassured her.

"What even happened?" Cho asked.

"I was in pain and I wanted to stop it," Sage explained. "After-"

"After what?"

Sage bit her lip "You know how Sirius Black died...?" Sage questioned, she needed to tell someone that wasn't her dad or Harry.

"Please don't tell me you did it because a mass murderer died," Cho said.

"Cho it's a way longer story than that!" Sage exclaimed.

"Sage! He murdered your fathers' friends! For all, we know he could have been after you!" Cho yelled.

Sage had never heard the girl yell "He wasn't the Potter's secret keeper," Sage told her.

"What?" Cho questioned.

"Sirius wasn't their secret keeper, my dad said it would have been too obvious. Peter Pettigrew was. He betrayed them, and Sirius got the blame," Sage explained.

"Pettigrew is dead Sage," Cho pointed out.

Sage shook her head "He's alive, he was an unregistered animagus just like Sirius and James," Sage explained, "He was a rat for 13 years while he knew Sirius was locked up for his actions. Sirius lived with us for a while as well, after he escaped... until he died. I watched him die, Cho, you don't have to believe me..."

Cho sighed and stared at Sage "Why're you telling me this?" She asked.

Sage looked up at her "Because I need someone to talk to about it. That's not Harry or my dad, cause it hurts bottling it all up," Sage told her.

Cho hugged her tightly "I believe you," she said, "You've never done anything to me to make me not. And I love you,"

Sage hugged the girl back "I love you too," Sage said. Cho pulled away and kissed her deeply, Sage kissed her back, grabbing her face. Sage smiled against her lips.

The Burrow

Molly opened the door for the kids and inside they saw Bill, Fleur, and Charlie. Who any of them hadn't seen in a while.

Once the Weasley children said hello, Sage awaited her turn. She ran up to Bill and Charlie hugging them. "What are you doing here?" She asked, happily.

"Visiting," Bill said smiling. He looked over at Fleur, as Charlie walked over to help Molly "Fleur insisted that you were the first of my family to know,"

Fleur and Bill had gotten together at the tournament, much to Molly and Ginny's dismay. "Know what?" Sage asked.

Fleur showed Sage her hand which had an engagement ring on it "Surprise!" Fleur announced. Fleur's accent was more British than ever.

"Oh my god!" Sage exclaimed, "It's beautiful, congrats! I appreciate you telling me," Sage smiled happily at the couple.

"Well sometimes it feels like your the only woman in Bill's family that likes me," Fleur admitted, Bill wrapped an arm around the veela.

"Ginny and Mrs. Weasley just have a hard time adapting is all," Sage explained. But she wasn't so sure, Molly and Ginny seemed to hate Fleur, even though she was kind and gorgeous. Fleur was an amazing person.

Sage smiled and looked around "It's great to see you guys!" She said and the couple nodded before Sage walked off to Harry who was sitting on the couch.

"Hey, Sage..." Harry said slowly.

"Are you okay?" Sage asked. She looked over at him.

"I miss Sirius," Harry admitted, a small frown forming on his face.

"Me too Harry," Sage said, "But he would want us to move on and be happy,"

Harry sighed and nodded slowly before Sage hugged him.
