Katie Rae
Train station, heading to Hogwarts

I sigh and cling on to Frederick's hand tighter. I didn't want to go, scared of what the year will hold but I guess I don't have a choice now do I? I sit down my truck, and George loads it onto the train for me. He comes back out, and they both hug me, I break down crying. I didn't want to leave. George lets go and walks off for us to have one final goodbye before I leave. 

"You're going to be okay; You are stronger than anyone I know" he says to me, I nod my head. I stand up on my tiptoes and wrap my arms around his neck, his around my waist. I smile and he kisses me, the kiss deepening. As we both let go, I board onto the train, and wave at them before they disappear. I wanted them to be with me, I loved them both. I find a compartment to myself and shut the door, not wanting anyone to sit with me. I wipe away the tear that falls down my cheek as it leaves, having anxiety for the upcoming year.

After a while, the train arrives to Hogwarts. A small part of me wishes Rachel or Draco would've come to me, but a part of me has nothing but hate towards me. I walk in, noticing the guards taking our bags in. I frown, the warmth of Hogwarts not being warm anymore. I notice Rachel and Draco in front of me, and Zabini walking behind them. Zabini and I lock eyes, and I look away quickly, I can't have any drama following me this year. No more than what I have to deal with. 

I walk in, the coldness taking over me causing goosebumps on my arms. I frown and sit down at the Gryffindor table by myself. No one says anything to me, no one wanting to be surrounded by my depression. I frown as Snape takes a stand at Dumbledore's podium; I get angry. How dare he. He announces that the Carrow siblings will be the new teachers of Hogwarts. Amycus will be teaching Dark Arts and his sister will be teaching muggle studies. I smile, Arthur studies Muggle studies. 

I notice Draco come over to me once he's done. "Where's your friends?" he asks, I roll my eyes. "None of your business, I can't trust you" I tell him, "Ouch! Right in the Heart, Rae" he says sarcastically, I give him a fake smile and stand-up walking off. 

I hear him follow me, bloody hell. Does he not get the hint? "Why are you ignoring me?" He asks out loud, I ignore him, and tears form in my eyes.  "JACOBS!" He yells at me, I jump, and a tear runs down my cheek. "Why am I ignoring you? Seriously?" I say to him, he's silent. 

"I trusted you! With my friendship, my secrets" I pause, "My sister" I say coldly, his face grows angry. "Your sister made the choice! That wasn't my fault-" I cut him off, "No but you could have stopped her! You could have persuaded her, and you didn't! She was the only blood related family I had left and now I can't even look at her without having pure hatred for her, Dray" I continue on, "She tried Killing George, the one she loves" I say to him, he looks down. 

"No, she didn't. It was Snape who casted that spell. If anything, she tried and saved George from falling to his death" he defends Rachel, can I even trust that he's even telling the truth? "What?" is all I manage to choke out from the buildup of tears, "But George told me-" he cuts me off. "A lie, because it wasn't Rachel" he says, I shake my head and turn around and walk off. I wanted to continue talking about this, but I couldn't. 

"Thanks for defending me Dray" I hear Rachel say behind me, "Like my mother says, we got to stay together" he responds. I stop in my tracks and turn back around. I pull my wand out, ready for anything. I feel my body shake, hatred. "Stick together? Who stuck by me other than a family who isn't even my blood related family? Exactly. No one, so don't even act like you're the victims" I say to them both. They stand there, saying nothing. 

Professor McGonagall comes out, Snape trailing behind her.  "You three, to my office now!" she says, I shake my head. "Just Miss Katie Rae, I'll take care of the other two" Snape says, I roll my eyes and follow McGonagall into her office, angrier than what I was when I was boarding onto the train.

We make it to her office, I sit down on her couch, and she sits down next to me. "How are you doing?" she asks, I roll my eyes and stand up, " I do not need a therapy session, thanks though" "Sit back down, you're not going anywhere" she says, I sit back down. "I'm not doing the greatest and you can tell, Professor. I don't particularly want to be here; I would rather be at home with people I care about, and they care about me" I tell her, she doesn't say anything. "I understand your frustration, and I'd rather you be at home with the people you care about but I can't send you home. That would be against the ministry" she says, I nod. 

"I wanted to make sure you're going to be okay, and Fred Weasley can come to Hogwarts whenever he likes but he'll need to be careful. I know this place doesn't feel like home anymore" she says, we're now standing, and I hug her. She wraps her arms around me, and tightens her grip around me, "You're right, it doesn't feel like home" I whisper, she lets go and shoos me off to my room, I smile and head back.

I make it back to my dorm, scared that if I peer a corner someone could have the possibility of hurting me. I want nothing more than to go home, my actual home. I can't stand the thought of being here. Or being around Draco and Rachel. Oh my god, Draco. What am I supposed to do about that? I can't stay away from him forever, and I didn't know what to do now that I know he has feelings for me. What do I tell Fredrick? 

I write to him, telling him that he can come to Hogwarts whenever he likes but needs to be safe about it. I send the letter off with my owl, Peaches and crawl back into bed. I hold on tightly to Fredrick's sweater and wish for him to visit me in my dreams and pray that nothing happens to me.
