Finally, the holidays! I get to see George again and the rest of course. I missed them like crazy. I can't wait to tell them everything. Not sure if I should get into details about Draco, but George probably already told them about it, so if they ask about it, I might as well just tell them the truth.
But basically where me and Draco are at right now is that Draco and I talk a lot outside classes. He tells me stuff about his family, but not everything is positive. He tells me how his dad treats him and how he hates it to be at the manor. But he loves his mom, I never thought Draco would talk about someone like that, besides Isobel, but that's different. He tells me how she always takes care of him and basically just that she's the opposite of his dad. And Bellatrix... the story's about her. They just give me mixed feelings. I know he tries to keep the stories about her positive, but not all of them are. We both know she's a death eater and that she has her cruel sides. But Draco also tells me how she was when he was a kid, she was tough on him, but with the best intentions. She took care of him and was protective of him. Draco tells me that he thinks it had something to do with the guilt she felt about giving me up. When Draco came she sort of had a second chance.

"George!" I yell when we get of the train and I jump into his arms. After a long hug he kisses me hard on the lips.

"Gross" I hear Ron whisper behind us.

"Are you okay?" He asks as if I just returned from Azkaban.

"Yes, I'm fine. Obviously a lot happened, but I'm good." I smile.

"I missed you" he says.

"Me too" I say and give him a smirk.

He pushes me away playfully and then grabs my hand as we apparate home.

Molly opens the door and hugs us all before we go inside where Arthur and Fred already sit at the dinner table.

"Had fun Y/N?" Fred asks with a smirk. I just roll my eyes at him and laugh.

As we are eating dinner I can see that there's a tension between Harry and Ginny. I kick George under the table and point at them with my head. He laughs softly and so do I.

"What's so funny?" Fred asks.

"Nothing" I respond grinning.

After dinner I immediately go to bed, because I'm exhausted.

Remus and Tonks visit us often to discuss some things about the order. Tonks and I get along really well and I find out she's only 5 years older then me. We become really good friends and we kind of have the same humor. Funny how Remus is so different from her, but they make such a great couple.

After another meeting of the order, Remus and Tonks go back home. Molly and I walk them out.

"Are you sure you won't stay" Molly asks.

"No we should go" Tonks says. "The first night of the cycle is always the worst" she whispers and winks at me.

Arthur and Harry come back from the barn. "Remus?" Arthur says worried. Remus is staring into the darkness outside in silence.

"Sweetheart..." Tonks says and puts a hand on his shoulder.

Then suddenly a fire ball starts storming down into the grass. 2 huge strokes of a sort of smoke land on the ground and turn into people. I recognize them both. Greyback 'the werewolf death eater' and Bellatrix Lestrange. For a moment that feels like hours I just stare at her. She smirks at me and runs away into the cornfield. I feel someone bump my shoulder and see Harry run after her. Then hel breaks loose. Harry jumps through the fire which formed a circle around the house followed by Ginny and to my surprise I run after them too when I see a hole in the fire where I can run through while the rest tries to contain the fire.

"Ginny?" I scream as I run through the field. For a moment it's completely quiet. But then I see Ginny, I wanted to yell her name again, but I saw Greyback coming towards her slowly. I run towards them and jump in front of Ginny and throw a spell at Greyback. He throws a curse back at me and as I try to block it it's already to late. My vision is starting to fade and before I become completely unconscious I hear a women scream my name. But then I'm completely knocked out.
I wake up leaning against George sitting on the grass staring at the burning house in front of us.
I hear sobbing and see the tears on Molly's cheeks. The rest is also staring at the house with their eyes filled with tears and I also start to feel a tear running down my cheek.

Luckily the curse didn't do me to bad so when I felt better I took Ginny, Harry and Ron back to Hogwarts so the rest could build up the house again. It hit us hard, it was our home. And my mother destroyed it. I'll never forgive her for what's she's done to us... and to me. I took off my neckless and let it slip through my fingers onto the ground and walked away.
