Gravity (Fred Weasley)

4. Freedom

"I am strong because I know my weaknesses.
I am beautiful because I am aware of my flaws.
I am fearless because I learnt to recognize, illusion from real.
I am wise because I learn from my mistakes.
I am a lover because I have felt hate.
I can laugh because I have known sadness."

I felt shock start to bubble up inside me as I watched the only family I had left, fall into a veil of white shadows, silent, unmoving. "Sirius!!!" I screamed. Then I felt rage as I struggled free of the man who was holding me down. I heard the demented screeches of delight and hysteria racing down the hall. I chased after her. The woman who had killed my god father. "IMPERIO!" I shouted, relishing at the screams, I could avenge him if I just- "Harry!" I heard someone screech. I fell to the ground in agony, my vision turning black.

I bolted upright gasping and covered in sweat. No, why? Why were they happening more often and they had never been this vivid, it was like I was living it, or living it through someone. Back home I usually had dreams of the future it was a weekly occurrence like seeing the mall have a sale on shoes or movie tickets. But that had only been mindless muggle stuff.
I shakily got out of bed, my dorm was already empty, down at breakfast I assumed but I wasn't hungry and if I was I could always go down to the kitchens. Plus today was Saturday so there were no classes which meant I had all the time in the world today, it had been a week since I had arrived at Hogwarts and I was settling in well. My dorm mates were awesome, they included Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, and Annabeth Chase.
I ran over to the mirror in the bathroom, startled by my appearance. My eyes were bloodshot and dull and my whole body was covered in goosebumps. I hopped in the shower taking only 15 minutes, which was a shocking amount for me seeing as I usually take at least 30. I pulled my hair into a side ponytail and slipped a gray beanie over it. I wore a green day tank top and black ripped skinny jeans along with my old black combat boots. I quickly applied mascara, eyeliner, and some dark lipstick. I ran down through the corridor and found my usual spot in between Fred and Anna. I sat across from a red haired girl who was sitting next to Ron and Harry.
"Hey where have you been?" Fred asked worry clear on his face.
"Yeah Fred wouldn't stop pestering me, asking if something was wrong with you." Anna implied teasingly ruffling Fred's hair. Fred turned bright red and I tried to hide a small smile on my face. Gross it's like we're a married couple. George gave a dry cough clearly wanting to steer the conversation elsewhere. Thank god. "Anyway, this is our little sister, Ginny." George introduced the small redhead who was sitting in front of me. I waved and smiled brightly at her, she gave me a small smile back in return. Then I loaded my plate with eggs, bacon, hash browns, sausages, and pancakes, I also had root beer as my drink because YOLO. Then, I started stuffing my face cuz of the fat bitch that I am. No, I'm totally kidding. About the me being fat part, not the stuffing my face part. This is the part where me and Anna (who the fuck says Anna and I?!) start to race each other in eating. Then Harry starts to film it on his phone because apparently there's free fucking wifi. Then we got interrupted by some weirdo talking about divination and something about Sirius Black. "You seriously believe in that stupid excuse for a subject, Seamus?!" Hermione interjected scornfully. Seamus shrugged looking slightly scared. Hermione rolled her eyes and stormed out of the hall. Well then. "Do you really think he could be back?" Anna asked me. "Hmmm? Who?" I muttered absentmindedly thinking about my dream. "Sirius Black of course." She said tensely. "I dunno... But what if he isn't as bad as we always thought he is." I asked her quietly. She said nothing after that and we finished our food in silence.

  Later, I went down to the shrieking shack in Hogsmeade, it was one of the places I always went, to think in peace. What did my dream mean? I heard the names Sirius and Harry and I felt Harry's emotions stronger than I ever have in a dream before. Come to think of it, I started having these dreams when I became a first year at Beauxbatons academy. I couldn't keep it to myself any longer. I had to tell Dumbeldore. With that, I gathered up my things and started out of the shack. Suddenly I heard a creak from somewhere behind me. I whipped my wand out and turned around. Standing in front of me calmly was a big jet black dog. It stared right at me and I smiled. In my third year at my fifth school, my friends and I found out how to turn into an animagus. We weren't registered legally of course and we could take more forms than one because we kind of messed up, like a lot. I visualized the animal I wanted to be and I felt my arms and legs become slightly shorter and my fingernails turn into claws.
  I was a wolf. A snowy white wolf. This one was my favorite form, it always had been. I yelped at the dog playfully and nudged him. He stared back at me with wide, shocked eyes. I tilted my head to the side, confused. Then as if it had never happened, the dog playfully leaped at me. That went on for awhile until I saw the sun start to set. I motioned with my head toward Hogwarts and the dog whined. I yelped a goodbye and ran back to the castle.
  I loved running in my wolf form, I always had, it made me feel free but when I looked back, the dog had gone. Remembering my plan to tell Dumbledore about my dream, I ran faster putting the mysterious black dog out of my mind and quickly arrived back at Hogwarts, going behind a wall making sure that no one saw me, I changed back into my human form and ran for his office.
   But as always I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and almost collided with the headmaster himself. "Oops! Sorry sir!" I said panicky dusting myself off. He chuckled his eyes twinkling,"It's quite alright, child but may I ask why you are in such a hurry?" He said.
   "Oh I uh I needed to talk to you." I said flusteredly (is that even a word?).
He nodded patiently, "Follow me, child."

Hai,
Whew, two chappies in one day and edited all of them, how's that for awesome!! But yeah so I kinda just randomly thought of the animagus thing and I'm sorry if some of y'all don't like it but I thought it made the character kind of original in her own way you know? Kay so uh, bye!
