crashing down // Fred Weasley

Harry's Home

Sophie woke up in pain, she had a large scratch down her chest and a small one beside the other on her face. She opened her eyes hesitantly just to find she was alone, she changed as quick as she could and then took a good look around the room. The bed was wrecked the walls had claw marks and the chair that once existed was a pile of wood.

"How are you feeling?" Sirius asked walking back through the door with a glass of water, "i left a couple minutes ago, i didn't know when you were going to wake up." He smiled.

The girl didn't say anything else she gladly took the water from him and drank it slowly, her body was aching and the scratches were stinging but the one thing she was silently suffering from was the fact that Remus had done the exact same thing, alone, and for years.

"We need to get you all cleaned up, although I'm afraid it was your dad that helped Remus if not Poppy, is it okay if Molly helps?" Sirius asked taking the glass back.

"Yeah, that's fine." Sophie mumbled and followed Sirius out the room, up the steps and into the kitchen, where everybody was. Remus was there, Molly and Arthur, Ron and Ginny and Fred and George. Everyone.

Ignoring all of the pitiful smiles she squeezed through the crowds up to Molly along side Sirius and smiled. "Oh come here." She cooed and wrapped the girl into a hug, "how are you? Do you want something to eat, to drink? Anything?"

"Just some cleaning up Molly." Sirius asked to which the woman nodded and led the girl upstairs to the bathroom.

"You sure everything is okay dear, not just with everything that happened last night but in general?" Molly asked sitting the girl down on a stool. "Everything you tell me stays between us two you know that."

"It's just." Sophie paused wincing as Molly dapped a wet cotton against her chest. "It's not so much what has happened to me, like yeah I wish it didn't but i can't help but feel like everyone is blaming themselves and i hate that."

"No one blames themselves or you dear." Molly smiled. "We all agree that it is something terrible that has happened to you and it's hard to react because of Remus and we get that."

"I feel horrible, he had to go through that alone for years before Hogwarts whereas now, everyone is helping me." Sophie whispered. "I just feel a little selfish in a way."

"Well you shouldn't." Molly whispered rinsing a cloth under the sink. "No one can change this now, and as much as Remus might feel incredibly sorry for himself and you, you need to show him that this won't change who you are. I know it's hard but please don't Sophie, you are stronger then you think."

And she didn't. Much to everybody's surprise Sophie spent the next couple of weeks hanging out with Ginny and Fred when he wasn't busy, she would write to Harry whenever she got a minute, although every single letter from him consisted of asking how she was she was happy to be able to contact him.

All the adults however, order members were out every now and then on order missions, everyone barin Sirius who was still a fugitive. He was a bit cranky considering he wasn't allowed to help others so Sophie always made sure she would talk to him at least twice every day.

Remus, Sophie had been seeing less and less of him throughout the weeks, he was away on order missions too but Dumbledore had made it his task to communicate with werewolf's, she wanted to help considering she was one too but everyone had told her a fifthteen, nearly sixteen year old for that matter was too young.

A new month was nearing which meant a full moon too but as much as Sophie knew it was coming she wouldn't let it affect her. It was Sophie and Harry's birthday tomorrow, claiming the end of July.
