🦕Hi, I updated the chapter and again and added more because why not. It felt like there needed to be more and it helps add to the story line because I was losing myself in coming up with what to write next. I hope you all like what I added.🦖

After the attack on the Burrows, everyone was a little paranoid. The twins were especially worried as they thought that their shop was next. When the three of us returned the boys began to switch on and off each night of who would keep an eye on the shop while the other slept.

I could tell that it was really taking a toll on both of them as they worked countless hours during the day to keep the shop running. I had stepped in to help as I ran the cash registers and helped out as many customers I could during the rush hours but the boys overall just looked tired and stressed. Neither of them seemed like themselves. Neither did I. 

Since the attack on the Burrow, I had been having nightmares again. While I knew they showed up to try to capture Harry, it still took a toll on me. Knowing that my distant cousin was roaming free and that she is the reason I am an orphan. Most nights I woke up in a panic and sweats. Rolling out of bed doing my best not to wake George as I fetched a glass of water. I didn't want to bother him with my issues after the attack when he was so focused on keeping the shop safe with Freddie. 

I was laying in his bed as I flipped through a new book that I got at Flourish and Blotts the other day, while George was getting ready for his night down in the office. He had just slipped on one of his sweaters before he came to sit down next to me. 

"You'll be okay tonight right?" He asked as I lowered my book down. Meeting his gaze. 

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" I lied as I felt better when he was laying with me.

"I just don't like leaving you some nights," He sighed, placing his hand on my thigh in comfort.

"I know but you boys are doing what you need to do. I'll be safe. Fred is across the way and you are just downstairs," I said, moving towards him and placing a kiss on his cheek.

"Sleep tight, my love," He whispered, pushing himself off the bed and headed towards the door. Closing the door softly as I went back to reading the chapter I was in the middle of before turning off the lights and calling it a night. 

That night was just like the rest of them. But worse. I toss and turned all night. Restless as my nightmares were haunting me. 

There I stood in the shop with the twins. Bellatrix, Fenrir, and a couple of other death eaters were surrounding us. Me. Bellatrix walking around me as she taunted me and the twins. Holding George and Fred down as they tried to fight back. Trying to break free but there was no use every time they moved they were only being held down tighter and harder.

"Poor Daisy Black, all alone. An orphan. You should have joined The Dark Lord long ago," She taunted as she poked her wand at my neck as I looked towards George and Fred, "At least there you would have a home. A family. But now just as you are forced to suffer without your father and your muggle of a mother. You shall suffer without your love and his brother." 

"Please don't hurt them. Just take me instead," I begged as I looked towards the boys.

"No can do, sweetheart. Avada Kedavra!" She yelled out as a green beam hit both George and Freds' body. Watching both of them drop dead as I screamed out in pain. 

I quickly shot out of bed. Breathing heavily. Gripping onto the comforter. As panic began to rise in my body. I threw the covers off me and went to head downstairs. Walking down the stairs into the dark shop. I could see the light coming from their office. The slight rustling of paper with a long sigh came over my sense as I rounded the corner. His eyes looking up towards the door as he saw me standing there with my arms crossed over my torso.
