"Fred I can't believe it!" I exclaimed.

"Why not?" He grinned.
"Not very many parents are willing to let their son bring his...well me, to Egypt!"

"My parents are different. They love you. It's just for a few days to visit Charlie, no big deal."

"It's a very big deal! I've never left England! Before I came to Hogwarts I'd never left my hometown."

"Just say thank you."

"Thank you!" I hugged him tightly.

"Off to bed you two. We're leaving bright and early tomorrow. Shelby, you get Ginny's bed all to yourself." Mrs. Weasley informed.

"Yes Mum." Fred agreed.

"Thank you again ma'am." I told her.

"Don't mention it dear. We all think of you as our own." She hugged me and sent me off to bed. 

I walked in Ginny's room and Fred was sitting on the bed.

"I just wanted to say goodnight." He stood up.

"Goodnight." I gave him a quick hug and laid in the small but cozy bed. Fred pulled the blankets up over me and wished me goodnight one more time before going to his own room. 

I turned to my side and tried to clear my head. Fred is very sweet and rather dashing. The thought made me blush. Yet, I couldn't help but think of Draco. What is he doing now? Is he having a good break? Since I cannot shake the thoughts out of my head a quietly get up and go over to Ginny's desk. I light the lamp and pull out a piece of parchment and a quill. I dip the quill in ink and start writing.

"Dear Draco,

     I hope you're having a good break. It turns out I'm going to Egypt with the Weasley's! Isn't that great! I've never left England before. Have you? Wouldn't it be fun to travel around the world? Back at the orphanage I was always said I was going to travel when I turned 18. I still plan to. Would you like to go with me? It would be really fun! Maybe we can visit the States. Do they have wizards there? Or is it a land of only muggles? I know you planned on staying at Hogwarts for Christmas to find out who the heir is. I'm sure your Mum is sad. Please be careful. And thank you for believing I'm not the heir. I miss you.

                                                                                                                                                          Your friend,

                                                                                                                                                          Shelby Dumbledore"

I sealed the letter and opened Athena's cage. 

"Athena I know it's late but will you take this to Draco? I'll leave treats in your cage for when you return." She pecked my hand then took the letter. I quickly opened the window for her. When she was gone I put treats in her cage and extinguished the lamp. I crawled in bed and pulled the covers up to my chin and closed my eyes. I felt at peace now for some reason. I could not help but hope I had a letter from Draco waiting for me when I woke up.

Courtney's POV

I walked into the library where I knew I would find Harry and his friends. Of course I was right. I walked up to the table they were sitting at and stood there till they looked at me. I looked into Harry's eyes.

"Potter, we need to talk."
