BECAUSE WE ARE YOUNG | THOMAS BRODIE SANGSTER

[ 14 ] THE SUMMER BEFORE YEAR 4

Y/n's dad's car was parked on the opposite side of the lot and so they needed to split. While the adults were talking, Thomas let his sister back on the ground and went up to Y/n.

She gave him a tight hug. She smiled. Her smile could have lighten up a room. "We have to hang out soon. How does Monday sound?" She proposed grinning.

"Sleepover at my place?"

"Great."

"Hey Y/n! We're going." Nate called out. She looked at Thomas one more time, and rushed to he dads' side.

Summer had officially began, and Y/n and Thomas were making the most of it. Neither of their families had planned a trip, and so they hang out practically every day. They met up with their friend group quite a few times as well (with the people that were in the country).

One day, both of them got a letter. It was from the twins. They invited the two to go to the Quidditch World Cup with them. Mr. Weasley had acquired tickets for them.

The offer seemed great! Neither of their parents had any problem with sending them off with the Weasleys. After discussing it over between each other, they wrote back agreeing to the offer.

Letters between friends were exchanged. Cho was having a great time with her family, and as it turned out, Angelina was right. Going to a sea where it was too cold to swim while having the choice of having went somewhere you could have swam was pointless.

The two also got news from Harry, Ron and Hermione. Significantly less, but it was still something. The three were also invited to the Quidditch World Cup with the Weasleys.

Thomas and Y/n had made an arrangement with Fred and George that they would come earlier then the Quiddtch match was supposed to happen. July 31st came. They day they were supposed to go to the burrow. It was also Harry's birthday. Both of them made sure to send him a gift. Y/n got him a giant box of chocolate frogs and other delicacies, whisk Thomas bought him a cool graphic shirt of a wizard band.

The two were supposed to get to the Weasleys by the Floo network at around midday. Ms. Weasley had insisted they eat lunch with them. By 12PM Y/n still hadn't packed. She had the bad habit of leaving everything until the last minute.

Y/n stuffed her trunk with clothes and all sorts of things (mostly candy). She did not bring her school supplies, only the bones she needed for the summer schoolwork she was given (ugh). She was going to go to Diagon Alley with her friends.

Just as she closed her trunk, wiping the sweat of her forehead, her dad, Nate, called out. "Y/n were going to be late!" She lifted the trunk, mostly filled with delicacies, and dragged it down the staircase leading to the living room. "We've been waiting for you." Oliver scolded her in a loving way.

"I had to pack!" She exclaimed in a playful manner, jokingly.

"If you would have done that earlier-" Nate chimed in but she interrupted him.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Same old, same old. Can we go now?"

One by one, Y/n first, they stepped into the fireplace. In a matter of seconds they were gone, and only an emeral flame was left behind them.
