Scars 🗝 Fred Weasley

34. Realisation

She was in at the field. She hadn't been here in ages the flowers where even more frozen than normal she leant down to touch them and a thin layer of ice around her shattered she shivered, and a gust of wind brushed her neck.

The boy appeared out of nowhere and she flinched.

"I must say, you've done better coping than I predicted" he drawled snapping a frozen flower in half.

"Your real, aren't you?" she managed to whisper.

"Maybe I am" he mused, she wanted to see his face.

"What do you want?" she managed as her teeth started chattering and layers of ice started to crawl up her legs.

He laughed an plucked a frozen flower.

"You'll see" he snapped the flower in half and a sudden pain shot up her back she screamed then blacked out.

She traced her spine as she opened her eyes, she could've sworn there was still a faint throbbing, she turned to her bedside table and pulled out her small bottle of dreamless sleep.

She had taken it, she had been taking it the last two weeks and she was fine she shouldn't have had a dream, she rubbed her head and set the bottle back down maybe she had forgotten last night.

She sat up in bed trying to shake off the throbbing feeling and peered over at the clock it was one o'clock she stared at the clock and blinked to make sure it was right, she'd woken up at one o'clock in the afternoon, she starred then looked around the room all the girls had already left to do whatever weekend activates they did other than Hermione and Ginny who were having a hushed conversation in the corner of the room.

She let out a yawn and they both turned to her.

"Why didn't you guys wake me up" she yawned again.

Hermione shrugged, "you looked peaceful."

She got out of bead and then realised they were already dressed for their little outing.

"You should've woken me up" she mumbled rubbing her eyes.

"It's fine we still have a lot of time on our hands go shower" Ginny shrugged carelessly and after a second she went to the bathroom.

She walked out the bathroom with a dress robe wrapped tightly around her so no scars where visible, she'd forgotten to pull something out from her wardrobe to wear, so she walked over and pull the doors open surveying her clothes.

"Oh, we've got that sorted" she turned around and Ginny was grinning at her, never a good sign.

Ginny stood up rummaged through her wardrobe and pulled out the purple dress, she'd forgotten about the dress she'd gotten it before Christmas the first time she'd met Harry and Ron.

But she hesitated, "—Isn't it too—fancy?" she asked eyeing it.

"No definitely not, me and Hermione are also dressed up" she waved her off and shoved the dress into her arms.

She stared down at it and hesitated.

"Come one Constance" Ginny chuckled.

Constance sighed and pulled out a pair of tights to cover up the scars on her legs and even though the sun was starting to shine it was still cold.

They all arrived at Diagon Alley at four she assumed that they would be going to dinner instead now since it was getting late.
