The last days before the Summer holidays were spent soaking up the Summer sun and making the most of being with friends.
I was laid in the grass with Marlene, Mary and Lily. Mary was making Marlene a flower crown and Lily was drawing them both without them realizing. "I'm going to miss you all in the summer."
"You know Queen are performing in the summer. My dad bought be tickets, only enough for me and you three but... Who needs tickets when you have magic." Mary grinned and got all of our attention immediately. Queen. Live. And we could see them.
"I'm down!" I grinned "The boys will be too, we could have a day out in London and see Queen it will be amazing!"
"It's August 9th I think." Mary smiled.
"I can't wait!" Marlene giggled and sat up. Mary put the flower crown on her head, it looked beautiful with Marlene's blonde hair.
"You're so pretty Marls." Mary smiled.
"You are." Marlene blushed and I smiled at the pair.
"Come on we have to tell the boys." Lily grinned after giving me a knowing look about Marlene and Mary.

We burst into the boys dorm where they were all packing. Peter jumped as we walked in "Oh hello girls." He smiled and waved at us.
"Hey Pete. We've got news." I smiled and flopped down onto James's bed. Lily sat next to me and Marlene and Mary sat on Sirius's so we were all in around the middle of the room.
James greeted Lily with a hug and a kiss on the cheek which made her smile. "What's up?" He asked.
Sirius had stopped stuffing muggle records into James's trunk (Because of course we had to hide them over the holidays from his family) to hear what we had to say. Remus was sat on his bed, everything already packed of course, reading book which he put down.
"We're all going to a Queen concert on the 9th of August." Marlene grinned.
"No way! How did you get tickets!?" Sirius was jumping up and down in excitement. Freddie Mercury was that boy's idol.
"I've only got enough tickets for four but we have magic." Mary smirked.
"MacDonald I adore you." Sirius grinned and threw a friendly arm around her.
"Back off she's mine." Marlene joked and kicked him playfully.
"Anyway, on August 9th we go to see Queen, we can sneak in using magic and have some drinks and all that in London. Any questions?" I grinned standing up to talk to everyone.
"Is it legal?" Remus laughed.
"Any important questions Mr Moony." Sirius teased.
"We can arrange anything else over the phone or whatever. I'm buzzing for it." James smiled happily.
"Anyway, I need to go get packed. See you losers on the train." I said to the boys and walked out to my dorm with a smile. I needed to pack my bags, then I had a very important visit to make.
.・✫・゜・。..・✫・゜・。..・゜゜・
Our train compartment was cramped, all eight of us were squeezed in together but the atmosphere was filled with laughter and the smell of sweets. Lily sat next to James for the first time ever, he had his arm around her and her head was on his shoulder. I sat with Sirius by the window. Before it was too long into the journey, I stood up. "I need to go see Reg." I didn't need to make excuses anymore, they all knew and given that it was the last day of term they had to excuse it.
"See you in a bit." Lily smiled and with that I walked to find Reg. He was in a compartment with Barty and a couple of other Slytherins. And that bloody girl Diana. We made eye contact as I passed by and he soon got up, pretty much having to push Diana off him so he could leave. I grabbed his hand and pulled him into an empty compartment. We both seemed to be thinking the same thing as his lips came crashing onto mine and I put my arms around him.
"Goodbye for now I suppose." He said once we eventually pulled away, I could tell he was trying to be strong for my sake.
I hugged him tightly "It won't be too long, we'll be back at school before we know it. Look after yourself okay? And Sirius?"
"I will." He nodded and kissed my head. "I'll miss not having you to annoy me."
"And I'll miss you too Edgy Reggie." I smiled a little trying to lighten the mood. "Also why the hell is that girl in your cabin?" I frowned, honestly not impressed I knew she liked him.
"She won't leave me alone." He shrugged.
"Tell her to fuck off how hard is it?"
"Okay love I'll do that." He sat me on his lap and kissed me lovingly, I couldn't get enough of his kisses knowing I'd have to go without for weeks.
"Hold on." I unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt and started to kiss his neck right by his collarbone, careful not to leave marks incase his parents saw. "I'm still annoyed about Diana by the way."
"She's nothing compared to you." He smirked. He unbuttoned my school blouse and pulled it down, he trailed kisses down my neck and chest, I couldn't help but sigh softly at the feeling. He pulled away and admired his work. "Just incase any other guys get any ideas." He smirked.
"Honestly Reg." I blushed and smiled, then buttoned up my shirt again. "I'll certainly miss that."
"Don't you worry darling I'll give you a proper hello again in September." He smirked and I blushed knowing what he meant.
"Will you be able to write to me?" I asked him while looking straight into his eyes, I wouldn't be able to do that again for a long time so I was making the most of it.
"I'll try my very best." He kissed my head.
I stayed in the carriage with him a long while until I saw that we were about 10 minutes away from the station. "I need to get back." I frowned.
He nodded understandingly and we stood up. He pulled me in for one last kiss which lasted a long time as neither of us wanted to let go. "I'll see you in September." I tried to smile and kissed him quickly again before going back to my friends, my heart heavy.
Reg couldn't just run away like Sirius could, they'd kill him.
Lily must have known exactly how I was feeling, she was good like that, because she patted the empty spot next to her with a smile and I sat down next to her. "Here I saved you your favorite muggle sweets, I'll get you some more over the Summer okay?" She smiled.
"Ooh and the little cherries too?" I smiled.
"Yeah I'll get you extra of those." She smiled at me. When I looked over at Sirius he had shrunken into his chair, anxiously looking out the window.
"Oi Padfoot, one owl and we'll come rescue you okay?" James told him with that reassuring James smile that always made you believe that everything would be okay.
He nodded silently and the train pulled into the station.
We all stood up and grabbed our suitcases, James and Lily were promising to call every single day or what ever and I gave Sirius a hug. "You'll be okay." I said softly.
He hugged me tightly "of course I will I'm Sirius Black." He chuckled, again coping with humour.
"Right lads, see you all on August 9th!" James smiled trying to lighten the mood as usual.
"See you then." Marlene smiled and we left the carriage.
Remus, James and I went over to our mother who was there as usual. She gave us all a warm hug. "Hello my dears." She smiled at the three of us, as if Remus was one of her children too. I was about the same height as her now and every one said we looked alike.
"We're going to have a wonderful summer, let's go home." She smiled at us all and we apparated home. My house was beautiful in the Summer, my garden was filled with flowers and birds singing cheerily. The sun was shining and I could tell it wasn't going to be one of those rainy Summers thankfully.
"Tell me every thing that happened, I want to know all the drama." She grinned and James started to tell her how he had finally managed to win the heart of Lily Evans. Remus and I told her about the Quidditch match and the bludger. "That's wonderful news darling." She smiled and James. "Tell her to come round for dinner any time she likes." She frowned when I told her about the bludger. "Oh my dear I do worry about you up on those brooms. It was your fathers idea to get you into Quidditch. Still, I am proud to have two such accomplished fliers and such an incredible commentator under my roof. I should get the autographs now!"
I realized I never actually told my mother I was dating Reg, but what would she think if I did? She knew all about the Black family but did she see Reg as a victim of it like Sirius? Or part of it?
((ok the summer will be a good couple of chapters but that will all start on Monday, have a good weekend
