The trouble all started with Henry, after watching Hope get kissed by Benjamin McGregor, snapping at the poor girl. Hope joined her cousins, Stella and Eliza, Aunt Anora, and Uncle Charlie at the dragon sanctuary in Romania meanwhile Artemis stayed behind as she doesn't like dragons, something Stella teased her relentlessly for. It felt weird not seeing Hope everyday, but Artemis didn't mind as her sister was having fun however there was small issue with staying in England. Her uncle, Teddy Lupin. He was relentlessly harping on Henry for snapping at Hope for two full weeks. Elliot Diggory wasn't of much help in getting the Lupin to stop. After Teddy got hungry and him and Elliot went inside, Artemis sat next to the Black.

"You going to yell at me too?" Henry asks in the most miserable voice Artemis has ever heard.

"Nope. I am going to ask if you are okay." Artemis says giving him a kind smile.

"Really? You aren't going to yell at me?" Henry asks with a confused look.

"Do you understand where you went wrong?" Henry nods his head.

"Are you sorry about it?" Artemis continues and Henry again nods.

"Then why would I yell at you? It wouldn't make sense." Artemis says and Henry shrugs and smiles at her.

"Thanks for being one of the only people who haven't yelled at me for this." He says, truly grateful for the kindness and compassion he is receiving from her.

"No problem, Henry. Besides I don't see the point of yelling at someone who is sorry. Unless you want to yell random stuff which I will totally do." Henry softly laughs at her. The two sit in silence for the rest of the afternoon and soon Nixie calls them in for dinner and they go and sit next to each other in the living room.

"So, are you going to write a letter of apology to Hope?" Artemis asks.

"I don't know. Teddy and Elliot think I should wait until she gets home and talk to her face to face." Henry says with a shrug.

"You really going to listen to them? Neither one of them has a girlfriend! What do they know about what the right thing would be to do in this scenario?" Artemis says, shocked that Henry is considering listening to them.

"I don't know maybe this is a face-to-face kind of conversation." Henry says and Artemis says and doesn't push the subject. A month later, Henry still hadn't written to Hope, and it was irritating Artemis.

"Boys are so stupid." Artemis said out loud one day, causing her dad to look up from the plans he was looking over for a new product.

"Yes, they can be. But why specifically are you saying boys are stupid?" Ellie asks her youngest daughter upon hearing her statement.

"Does someone have boy trouble?" Artemis' Uncle George says teasingly. Artemis rolls her eyes at her uncle.

"No, I don't. I was just making a general statement. After all, Dad was a boy once and was stupidly jealous." Artemis says, causing an overdramatic gasp to leave Fred's mouth.

"I'll have you know. I was not stupidly jealous. I was reasonably jealous." Fred says defending his past actions.

"I don't know why you were so jealous. Mum had already kissed you." Artemis says with a smug look.

"How do you know about that?" Ellie asks her daughter curiously.

"Uncle Harry told me, and he said to cover your tracks, you kissed the rest of the Quidditch team." Artemis says smirking at her mother.

"Harry needs to learn to keep his mouth shut." Ellie mutters under her breath, causing the rest of them to start laughing. Then Aelia walked in.

"ARTEMIS!" Aelia shouted way louder than necessary, which of course caused all the people in the Joke Shop to jump.

"AELIA!" Artemis shouted back and ran and gave her best friend a hug.

"How have you been?" Aelia asks.

"Good. Kinda quiet without Hope around not mention the whole Teddy thing I told you about." Aelia nods, remembering the letter she received stating how annoyed her best friend was with her uncle and ready to throttle him.

"Never mind about me but how was your vacation to the Untied States?"

"Oh my god! It was so much fun. I forgot how much fun it is to be around my cousins!"

"Really? I usually can't wait to escape them." Artemis says with a smirk.

"That is because you spend way toooooo much time with them. Also are we still meeting Aidan and Sammy at the ice cream parlour?" Artemis nods her head and turns to her parents.

"Mum, Dad this is my best friend, Aelia Patterson. Aelia, these are my parents, Fred and Eleanor Weasley and my Uncle George. Can I go with Aelia and meet up with our other friends?"

"Of course. Have fun sweetheart. It was nice to meet you, Aelia." Fred says and the two friends walk out of the Joke Shop and head down the road to the ice cream parlour. Aidan and Sammy are already waiting for them when they get there. They all greet each other and then order ice cream and decide to wander Diagon Alley while consuming the delicious summer treat. They all share stories from their summers. Sammy and Aidan spent a lot of time camping together with their families. Aelia spent a lot of time in the Untied States and Artemis spent a lot of time helping her parents out with the Joke Shop and spent some time with Henry to try to cheer him up and convince him to owl Hope and apologize. Artemis gets greeted by a lot of the shop owners, having grown up here, she knows a lot of them, but one stops to talk with her and that is her Aunt Judith, George's wife.

"Hey Aunty Judi. These are my friends, Aelia Patterson, Aidan Lockchester, and Samuel Taverner. Guys, this is my Aunt Judith and owner of Rosa Lee's Tea Shop." Judith smiles at her niece and her friends.

"It is great to meet you three. Artemis, is your uncle at the Joke Shop?" Judith asks.

"Which uncle? I have like 6." Artemis says getting a little cheeky with her aunt. Judith rolls her eyes.

"Your uncle George."

"Oh yeah, he is. Him and Dad are going over some product plans." Judith thanks her niece and bids the four teenagers a good day before heading in the direction of the Joke Shop. The four teenagers keep walking for another two hours when Aidan remembers that Sammy and he are supposed to meet their parents for dinner soon. They wave at the girls before promising to see them on the train. Aelia and Artemis wander around for half an hour more before it starts to rain and the two run for shelter which happens to be the Joke Shop. The two girls are laughing and Fred, Ellie, George, Judith, Nixie, and Sirius who all happen to upstairs come downstairs. The six adults raise an eyebrow at the dripping wet girls.

"It's raining outside." Artemis says when she sees the expression on the adults' faces.

"We can see that." Sirius says while Ellie does a quick spell, so the girls are dry and not cold.

"Well, I should probably go. My parents will want me home soon." Aelia says. Then Artemis gets an idea.

"Wait here for like a minute." She says before sprinting upstairs and returns thirty seconds later with a sweater.

"Here. This should keep you dry and warm." Artemis says offering the sweater to Aelia who looks skeptic.

"I highly doubt that but okay. I should probably go. I'll see you at school." Aelia waves goodbye to everyone else and runs outside.

"When and what is dinner?" Artemis asks Ellie.

"Chinese food and in an hour." Ellie responds back.

"Okay. I am going to go hang out in my room in meantime." She brushes past the adults and goes upstairs. Half an hour later, the door opens and Hope walks in.

"Hope! You're back!" Artemis shouts giving her twin sister a hug. Hope hugs her back and the two talk about what happened in the summer for each of them. They eat dinner with their parents and head to bed. Henry didn't come the entire time Hope was home nor did he owl her, which again irritated Artemis to no end. Soon it is time for them to board the train to start a new year at Hogwarts.
