Forever the Lion and Badger

Losing You

It has been a couple days since Matt left. I miss him so much, his blue eyes that looked like the summer sky. His perfect scent of mint, burning wood, and rain, that was so intoxicating. Everything was perfect. I was back with Matt, I was passing my classes, and I was finally happy for once in my time at Beauxbatons. So I thought, It was too good to be true. I knew once I was happy something was going to come crashing down. Once I saw the light blue letter on my desk my heart dropped.

Dear Stella

I know it is unnatural for me to be writing to you, but my father wanted me to write to you. He wants you to visit, I guess Josie isn't doing well. I could really care less about her or you, but he was so set on you knowing. Just know you can't keep playing the small little vulnerable girl this time. You're lucky you have a McGonigal that can put you under his wing. Don't mess it up, you know how my father can be when our reputation is at stake.

- Vane, E

My hands were shaking after reading the letter. I hated receiving letters from Emma, she was a person you don't want to cross. Emma was my step sister, we were never close. The day my mother married Elijah, Emma hated me. She would always get her way, if she wanted something she would get it.

I couldn't breath, it felt like I was drowning. My mother was sick, and I was here thinking about my boyfriend. She was the kindest person in the world, why does this have to happen to her. I was panicking, trying to gasp for air. Nothing was working, I tried to slow my breaths down but it was useless. The person who stayed by my side was hurt, The person who loved me since day one, The one who never left.

I grabbed onto a necklace that was around my neck, I don't remember having. It had two stones one red one yellow, once my fingers touched the stones I felt calm. I could finally breathe and stop shaking. It was like I was in a protective embrace. Once I calmed down I started to pack my bag.

I picked up a yellow sweater with an S on it, that's when my vision started to go foggy...

F- " Oh.... Stella, you just started a war."

S- " NOOO! Fred, please I'm sorry!"

I saw a boy with red hair and freckles chasing me through the snow. When was this? I looked happy, but I wasn't with Matt. Who was this boy? Then I saw a woman, she also had red hair and a big smile that was warm.

M- " Alright dear go get on warm close before you catch a cold."

S- " Yes Mrs. Weasley."

The boy named Fred gave the woman a hug. That must be his mother, he looks like her. He has the same warm smile and eyes that felt like home.

F- " Hey Stella, RACE YOU UP THE STAIRS!"

S- " NO FAIR YOU CHEATED!"

The two of us are laughing up the stairs of this home that looked so familiar. After we got dressed we went back down the stairs, there were more people in the living room.

G- " Have you told her yet?" the boy whispered to Fred

F- " No Gorge, now shh before she hears you." Fred gave me a box that looked like he wrapped it.

F- " You always say you're cold, so I had my mom make you this" It was the yellow sweater with the S on it.

I snapped out of whatever that was. Was it a dream? Was it a vision? I had one tear sliding down my cheek. How could I not remember that family? It felt more like home than anything. I looked at my watch, it was 10:30 pm. I put the sweater in my bag and finished packing. After that I tried to sleep, but all I could think about was the boy with red hair. Does Matt know who he is? Should I tell him what I saw? What would Matt do if I did tell him? I couldn't lose him, he is my love... Right?
