Who Knew: This is it

Oh My God...

ABBY'S POV

~~TIME JUMP~~

**5 DAYS LATER **

I woke up in the morning, realising that I had to go back to Hogwarts today. I did my daily morning routine. I put on some white jeans and folded them up, about halfway up my calf. I wore a grey t-shirt which was dip dyed white. I put on my white converse and curled my new brown hair.

~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~

I walked into the house. "Oh my god!" Bill jumped. "Calm down its just me!" I said. "Your hair!" He said. I laughed. "Do you like it or not?" I asked him. "It looks good on you, it suits you." He says smiling. I smile at him and we both walk into the kitchen. Mums washing up the dishes. I don't understand why she doesn't use magic, it would make her life so much easier. "Hey mum." I say. "Hey sweetheart have a good ti- OH!" Mum said as she turned around. "Your hair!" She says. "Do you not like it?" I asked her. "I love it!" She says and pulls me into a hug. Everyone comes into the kitchen. When they see me, their eyebrows go flying up, but then they all smile at me. I smile at my family, wish then good night and go up to bed.

~~~FLASHBACK END~~~

I put on my arrow necklace and walk downstairs. I grab a piece of toast. I know that everyone's asleep, I didn't want them to wake up. I'm going back to Hogwarts today, but my parents keep on saying it's not safe. And I know it's not safe. I'm scared to be going back but I'm glad that I have a friend like Brooke to help me get through it. I finish my piece of toast and go back upstairs. I use magic to pack my stuff.

I check the time and it's 11:00. I was meant to leave for Hogwarts half an hour ago. First day and I'm already late. This is just great! I grab a piece of paper and a quill and a bottle of ink. I write my family a note.

'So by the time you read this, I'll be at Hogwarts. Mum, I'd appreciate it if I didn't receive a howler this year.'

She sent me a couple last year, when my grades dropped. I carried on writing.

'I'm not gonna promise you I'll stay safe, and I'm not gonna promise you that I'm not gonna beat anyone up this year, because you all know that I can't keep promises. Feel free to send me presents, as I am you amazing daughter. Love you guys so much and see you all at Christmas. If we're not dead. 😲❤️💋😉'

I go downstairs and grab a magnet from the fridge and slide the piece of paper underneath the magnet. I magicked my bags downstairs, grabbed them and stepped into the fireplace. I grabbed the floo powder, screamed 'Hogwarts, Snape's office', chucked the powder down and was engulfed by flames.

I arrived in Snape's office. I left my bags by the fireplace and went to his desk. I saw there was a note saying, 'Abby, wait there for me, I'm currently busy.' 'Thanks for the information dick.' I think. I sit in a chair in front of his desk. After a couple minutes of waiting I grab my iPod nano from my bag and my headphones, plug my headphones in, stick them into my ears, press shuffle on my iPod, slump down onto the chair and drown myself out from the world. 'Stitches by Shawn Mendes' comes on and I hum along. 'When I'm without your kisses... I'll be needing stitches.' I sing quietly. As I'm listening to my other songs, I drift to sleep.

"Abby. Abby!" Someone shakes my and I jerk awake. I pull my headphones out of my ears and see Snape standing there, looking at me. "Sorry. Must've fallen asleep waiting for you." I say to him, stuffing my iPod in my bag. "It's alright. Don't do it again. And how is your muggle device working in Hogwarts?" He asks me, sitting down and crossing his arms. "I don't really know if I'm honest with you." I tell him, a slight smirk appearing on my face. "Okay. I'll make sure it doesn't work anymore. Listen, Abby, the training you have with me, no one else can know about them okay?" Snape says. "Obviously not." I say rolling my eyes. He looks at me sternly. "I'm serious Abby, if anyone finds out I'm dead meat. Literally. They'll have to be late at night, and you'll have to be properly rested." He says to me. "How's that gonna work if they're at night?" I ask. "I'll make sure, the day before we have our session, you have the last 2 lessons left, and you MUST rest in that time, understood?" He says, his eyebrows shooting up into his hairline. I nod. "Now listen, do you know who the Carrows are?" Snape asks me. "Alecto and Amycus Carrow.. Yeah. They're death eaters. What do they have to do with me?" I ask him. I know who they are. They're the ones that made my 'brother' turn into a death eater. Dickheads. "They're the Defence against the Dark Arts teachers. If they ask you what you're doing late at night, say I want to see you okay?" He says. "Wait. THE CARROWS ARE THE DEFENCE TEACHERS! Are you being for real!?" I scream. "Yes I am 'for real' as you put it. Here is your timetable." He hands me a piece of paper. I look at it and see that I have potions, DADA, charms, transfiguration ALL the time. There's a free period every day, and we get Saturday and Sunday off. "I'm sure I can trust you to make your way back to the Gryffindor common room without getting ambushed or ring lead astray. As you may know the muggle saying, 'Curiosity kills the cat.' Your curiosity almost killed you." He says. I roll my eyes at him. "Yes sir." I say. I grab my bags and walk out of the office. I go all the way to the other side of the school, climb seven fought a of stairs and I finally reach the picture of the Fat Lady. "Stupid Snape, didn't tell me the bloody password." I sigh. "What are you doing outside at this time?" I hear a high pitched voice say. I turn to my right, where the voice is coming from, and I see Alecto Carrow. "I don't know the password." I tell her. "Why not?" She says in a stern voice. "Because I JUST arrived and Sna- Professor Snape didn't tell me the password." I say, dropping my bags and crossing my arms. "Drop the attitude before YOU drop dead to the floor." She says, her nostrils flaring. "I just want the password." I say, looking her straight in the eyes. "Dilligrout." She said, and walked away. The portrait opened, I grabbed my bags and walked inside. I looked around. And say the fire was crackling, and it just looked like home. It definitely looked perfect, but God knows how long it would stay perfect for. It was completely abandoned. People were at lessons I guess. I went over to the notice board and saw it was just me and Brooke sharing a room this year. In one way, this was good, in another this was bad. It was bad because it would be extremely hard to lie to her every night or every other night about where I'm going. I went to my room and dropped my bags. I unpacked everything and set up my room. I went into the bathroom and saw all of Brooke's stuff set out everywhere. Damn the girl is a mess. I cleaned up everything for her. And for me. So I don't have to live in a dump. Her bed wasn't made so I made it for her. Her clothes were everywhere so I grabbed some hangers and hung them up. I wasn't really bothered to go to lessons today, so I just decided that I wasn't gonna go. I grabbed a copy of a book called, 'My Sister lives on the Mantelpiece', grabbed my iPod again and went to the common room. Even thought Snape said that he'd make sure my iPod stops working, he wouldn't do that. He just loves me too much. NOT IN THAT WAY!! I sat down on the sofa, facing the fireplace and plugged my headphones and stuck into my ears. 'Wildest Dreams' by Taylor Swift came on and I nodded my head along. I read my book.

---Several Hours Later---

It had been ages since I'd been reading. Everyone had come back from lessons. I'd seen many familiar faces, but hadn't seen Brooke yet. I decided to go to my room to my iPod and my book away. I opened the door, and chucked my iPod and book onto my bed. "What the-" I hear a familiar voice say. I bob my head into the door and see Brooke laying there on her bed. "OH MY GOD ABBY! YOUR HAIR!!" She screams. "I KNOW!!" I scream back. We both run to each other and hug each other. "Oh my god it looks so cool." She says. We both smile at each other and I realise the scar on her face. My smile instantly fades. "What the hell is that on your face!?" I ask. She shuts the door. "The Carrows' mark." She says, rolls her eyes and flops back some onto her bed. "What did they do to you?" I ask and I sit down next to her. "I was disobeying them and they did the Cruciatus Curse on me." She says. My finger goes over the scar on her face. "Fuck." I whisper under my breath. "Are you.. Okay?" I ask her. "Yeah I'm fine. My scar matches yours now." I smile, and our hands simultaneously go over our scars. "That was weird." We both say the same time. "Stop!" We both say simultaneously again. "BROOKE!" I say, and we both burst out laughing. We spend the rest of the time talking about what we did.

A bell rings throughout our room. "What the hell." I say, looking so confused. "It means dinner." She says standing up. "Ugh I can't be bothered for dinner. Can we just get something from the kitchen?" I ask her. "The Carrows' patrol." Brooke says. "The Disillusionment Charm." I say. "Have your sneaking skills downgraded. "She hits me with a pillow, misses. I laugh and I cast the spell on my self and she casts the spell on herself. We leave our room and leave the common room. We walk down the stairs silently, but as we're making our way to the kitchen, Alecto Carrow makes her way right in from of us. 'Shit.' I curse in my head. She's standing right in front of the steps, as if she can hear us breathing. 'Please don't sneeze Brooke.' I think, as she has a tendency of sneezing at the worst times. Alecto moves a bit away from us, and I take that chance to go around her on my tiptoes. The charm I only lasts for a bit, so we had to get there quick. Brooke was still stuck. I saw a piece of paper lying on the floor. I picked it up, moved a little closer to Alecto, praying she didn't turn around. I scrunched the piece of paper up into a ball and threw it down the stairs. She heard and ran. I grabbed Brooke and we ran like crazy people to the kitchen. The charm came off. We both burst out laughing. "That was like Mission Impossible!" I say and she clutches her stomach and laughs even more.
