"Didn't know you was into gingers, Malfoy?"
"Shut up Weasley"

Gemma Weasley shared many similarities with her siblings, the ginger hair, pale skin, freckles and a super sense of humour, yet she was the one that stood out from them all. Even her tw...

Madam Pomfret was more than surprised to see me and Ronald arrive at the hospital wing panting for breath. She quickly ushered Ron into a bed and set to work trying to heal his leg, I sat next to him holding his hand the whole way.
When you're scared of losing a sibling, it's like this constant knot in your stomach, you know? It's this mix of anxiety, fear, and sadness all rolled into one. You can't help but imagine all the worst-case scenarios in your head, and it feels like your heart is being squeezed tight. It's this deep, intense love that sometimes comes with a sense of vulnerability. You just want to protect them and keep them safe, because they mean the world to you. It's like you're holding onto them so tightly, afraid that if you let go, something terrible might happen. And that feeling can be so overwhelming at times, making it hard to focus on anything else. With the events that have happened since first year i've never felt so scared to lose a family member, especially with dad being in the ministry.
"Miss Weasley am I expecting more students, if you won't tell me how this happened you must tell if im i'm expecting more visitors." Madam Pomfrey says sternly, she was a kind woman but not one to mess with.
"Harry and Hermione, I-" I get cut off by the doors to the hospital wing opening, Harry and Hermione in tow. The night draws in and Madam Pomfret gets to work.
"I saw my dad" Harry says, the night now nearing midnight. I draw back the curtain between Ron and Harry and look at him dead in the eyes.
"What....?" Hermione says, confused.
"He sent the dementor away....I saw him. Across the lake..." Hermione glances at me and Ronald unsure and turns back to Harry.
"Listen Harry they've captured Sirius. Any minute they're going to perform the kiss." Hermione says sighing. She continues to explain what the kiss is to Harry, explaining how getting 'the kiss' is worse than dying, explaining that it just leaves you a shell of a person, a shell of a man. As we all react to this news Dumbledore comes through the doors to the hospital wing, Harry begs Albus to do something.
"You know the truth, you must do something!" Hermione pleads with Dumbledore, trying to get him to do something.
"I do, Miss Granger. But i'm sorry to say that the word of four thirteen year old wizards will not convince some others. A child's voice, however honest and true is meaningless to those who have forgotten how to listen" As Albus turns to the window, a shooting star plummets through the sky. "Ah a shooting star. If ever one was able to make a wish, now would be the time. But time i'm afraid is precisely our problem." Albus states, as on cue the bell chimes midnight.
"Mysterious thing time. Powerful. And when meddled with....dangerous. Sirius Black is in the topmost cell of the dark tower" Dumbledore looks at Hermione. "You know the laws Miss Granger. You must not be seen. And you would, I feel, do well to return before this last chime. If not.. well the consequences are really too ghastly to discuss. I think. If you succeed, more than one innocent life will be spared tonight." Dumbledore says, handing Harry and Hermione each a stick of chocolate then starts to go but stops.
"By the way, I think retracing my steps to be wise place to begin. Good luck." He smiles and exits.
"What the bloody hell was that all about?" Ronald says but Hermione doesn't answer, she loops a pendant around Harry's neck and hers.
"Sorry Ron, seen as you can't walk, Gem, look after him for us." I turn to Ron and before I know it they come rushing into the room. Sneaky duo. I've been watching that pendant for awhile, noticing Hermione always coming in late for classes. They sorted things out, they went back in time, Hermione knew that I knew, and threw me a smirk, god she is smart. Yet Ronald, not being the brightest, gets confused at how they moved so quickly. I chuckle at his confusion and he looks at me perplexed.
"Always been the nervous type you have Ronald" Harry says laughing.

"Ronald don't you dare open it!" I say shaking my head yet he doesn't listen to me and rips the corner piece off the parcel. His eyes go wide and continues to rip the parcel open.
"Ronald I swear to god .... oh wow." I exclaim moving closer to Harry's parcel.
"What is it?" Seamus comes over and instantly gets excited by seeing what's in the parcel, when more and more Gryffindors come over all wanting to take a look. Hermionie clears her throat and Harry comes over.
"Harry wherever did you get it?" Neville says. Harry looks confused.
"Can i ave a go Harry, after you of course --" Seamus says, still excited. I swat his hands away from touching the broom again. Inside the parcel lay a fire bolt, the best broom you could ever have. Even i was shocked and i don't even play quidditch.
"But how?" Harry says moving closer to the fire bolt.
"It's a mystery. Though this fell out of the wrapping" Hardy turns noticing Hermionie holding a feather.
"Harry I swear if you don't fly on that broom in the next minute I will fly on it first" I say laughing as we all then follow a running Harry out of the great hall and into the courtyard.
"How fast can it go? I mumble to Seamus. Harry mounts the broom and whooshes off into the sky. "Very fucking fast then i take it." Seamus laughs and I turn to look around the courtyard and notice Malfoy looking at me whilst laughing with his friends, I make eye contact with him and he turns away. It's almost as if that night in the hospital never happened.
