The Golden Quadruplets

chapter 61

Clementines pov.
Summer.

year 4 ended on an unexpected note.
Hallie and Karl had broken up, it was something about Karl needing time to think about their relationship.
my brothers passing.

which is what hit me the hardest. like a punch to the stomach almost.

i left Hogwarts by hugging all my friends tightly, telling them how much i appreciate them, crying into their shoulder.
kissing Harry goodbye, he apologized profusely for never being able to talk about our relationship. but i didn't care all to much, the hurt of my brothers passing hurt to much to think about Harry and I at that moment.

i sent a letter to my foster parents, telling them i won't be home, a misfortunate thing has occurred. the death of my brother.

they allowed me to return home with my father, they knew it would be best to spend time with my family.

i spent most of my time this summer in Cedrics room, looking at all his things and sleeping in his comfortable bed.
i missed him to much to be sleeping in my own bed.
i practically never left the bed, leaving my siblings and parents to become worried for me.
i had continued to reassure them i was okay but my father didn't believe me.

i guess my mood seemed down, but of course it was, i lost my brother. one of them, the one i was closest to.
he took me to the Doctors.
it wasn't to unexpected when you think about what they had diagnosed me with.
Bipolar disorder.
it made a lot of sense, mood swings, how i felt on different days, just everything.
they gave me medicine for it.

i didn't really bother sending letters to any of my friends. i sure did receive some.
one from Sage and Hallie, a few from Hermione and Ron and one from Harry.
which i hadn't opened because i didn't want to be greeted with more dead brother talk i guess.
each letter had mentioned something about how sorry they were about my brother, but they couldn't have done anything to save him, it was Voldemorts fault, not anyone elses.

over the summer i had my birthday, i had turned fifteen, my birthday wasn't really much, i didnt want to do really anything besides sit at home with my family, but the sunset was pretty nice.

i had already missed Hogwarts, and missed seeing my friends, but at least i had my brothers whole collection of books he had on his dusty shelf
i read most of them, and decided i would keep some to bring with me back to school.
as well as Cedrics hufflepuff scarf, and a small stuffed bear that was laying on his bed, i knew when he was younger he loved that bear.

sure i was pretty sad to not be able to meet my new brother, and see my parents and be back in my bedroom, but visitng my biological family was nice, we became closer, and bonded over past memories.

~ Time skip ~

the door slowly opened, and there appeared Harry.
Hermione flung herself onto him, Ron getting up with her.
"oh Harry!" she said excitedly.

i was sat on the bed, but anxiously got up, slowly walking over to them.

Hermione had told me about the Grimmauld, and the Weasley Family had already been staying here so i was invited with Hermione.
the Order was there doing work so the whole Weasley family had been there.

"are you alright?" Hermione said, pulling out of the hug with Harry, he gave her a small nod.
"we heard them talking about the Dementor attack. You must tell us everything!" she exclaimed.

"let a man breathe Hermione" said Ron
"and this hearing at the ministry!" Hermione continued, "it's just outrageous! i've looked it up and they simply can't expel you."
Harry looked over at me. i looked away, breaking eye contact.
