OLIVERS POV
" Have you heard anything about her?" George asks, running his fingers through his hair. Ever since him and Ellie haven't been talking he hasn't been himself, he hasn't slept, can hardly eat and he doesn't even want to prank people any more. Hes a wreck.
" George this is like the fiftieth time you've asked me, all I know is what her new friend is telling me; that she literally just eat sleeps and plays a game called pokemon. Thats it, she's just as messed up as you." I say patting him on the shoulder, were sitting in the common room, where she wasn't of course. Ellie was either with Fred and Angelina or she was with Emily her new Ravenclaw friend.
"This cant go on any longer TWO WEEKS!" He shouts,scaring some of the first years, " We need a plan and a good one, just anything. I cant take this." My heart goes out to George, he's my brother but Ellie is amazing and ever since their friendship split we've gotten closer and closer, Fred and I have gotten to know her a lot.

Flashback
"I just cant believe he'd say it you know, its George, like he's legitimately been there through everything, when I was grieving my mum he used to stay up and just do whatever to make me happy. I taught him to skateboard and he let me blubber on his shoulder till I fell asleep, this isn't him I just don't understand." She sobbed one night, we were sat by the lake under a blanket, she was curled him on her side and I was sitting, looking at her trying to decide what to say.
" Look Ellie he's a boy and us boys we say things we don't mean, that's us and George was hurt, I cant tell you why because I'm his friend as well and I respect him but it really hurt him. You both will come around one day I promise, friendships like yours don't just fade into the dust speaking from experience." She looked at me, her brown eyes big, round and glassy. I couldn't resist telling her about my ex-best friend, she was beautiful and smart and talented and just plain amazing but then she got a boyfriend and dropped me like I meant nothing. Then her boyfriend broke up with her and she ran back to me, this carried on for years till she went to Australia but I know she'll pop up again one day. A friendship like that survives everything.
She sobbed more and curled up on me, her tears soaking the blanket, she kept whispering I'm sorry, but I felt like she wasn't sorry for me but sorry for letting her walls slowly crumble, them walls that stop her from speaking about things that hurt her, she whispered "I miss my mum." and we hugged , sleeping by the lake all night till her tears dried and she was smiling, it felt like an important moment for me.

" So she likes this pokemon stuff? wel'll work with that, I'm sure Dad knows a bit about it, I'll send him an owl." Georges brain was already working like the great thinker he is, he had a plan.

ELLIES POV
" So I leaned more about that pokemon thing you love, like what a pikachu is and a pokeball and how their should be an accent on the e. Did you know it was created in 1996 and that it was made for the original gameboy?" Emily asks, her head spinning with all the interesting facts she'd learned, she was my little Wikipedia, only she didn't get that reference even though she was muggle-born.
" No i didn't know it was made in 1996 but yes I did know it was for the gameboy I actually have the gameboy with the original games, but can you go back to reading so I can play, that would be awfully nice". Emily just nods, reading was her language and she didn't care about anything while she was reading. Id met Emily in the library when I had the detention of Mrs mgonagall thanks to Oliver, I actually dropped a book on her head but she didn't care. Sh just scolded me because it was an old book. Emily was Chinese, her hair was black with purple streaks in it and she always had a book in her hand, glasses on her head and whiskers on her face, sometimes she'd even have panda ears on. I used to ask her why and she'd just say anime, which totally makes sense.
We were sitting in the great hall, no no one was there except us, we would have to wait a while till our common rooms would be safe to enter. Free of people who sent judgmental stares your way or other people who you just didn't know how to deal with.
"Boom! in your face gym leader Wallace my squirtle is so much better than your luvdisc!" I exclaim, pumping my hand in the air,
"Nothing beets Pika and and Squrtle or all I like to call them Minnie and Michelangelo!" I shout and a few pure-blood first years give me funny looks while some of the muggle-borns give me thumbs up, making me smile.
"Ellie shush, I know you're grieving George but giving weird pets weirder names well that's a bit of an odd form of grieving" Emily asks but I don't answer and just focus on my battle. The door swings open and music flows in, acoustic guitar; my favorite. I look up and Oliver stands playing the guitar , George walks from behind him and starts to sing.
I wish that we were on TV,
just like in pokemon.
You'd be a pika-girl,
In a poke world.
Yes, life would be so fun!
I'd be a trainer boy,
and I would make the choice
to go and search for you.
I'd throw my pokeball
and I would catch them all.
You'd be my Pikachu!
(Pi-Pikachu!)
You're my pika-girl,
in the poke world.
Oh, I won the gym badge,
but you won my heart.
(Pika!)
Pika-girl, in the poke world
And now that I've got you,
we can never part.

The pokeball in my life's open for you.

(Pika!)
I'd bring you sweets,
like rare candies.
Level up your love to give.
And then you'd use right then,
a sweet kiss TM
(super effective)
Not even the Elite Four could stop us evermore,
together we can't fall.
Our bond would never break,
and there'd be no mistake.
Our love would conquer all!
(Pi-Pikachu!)
You're my pika-girl,
in the poke world.
Oh, I won the gym badge,
but you won my heart.

I gasp and tears fill my eyes as he finishes. Not only is that my favorite song in the world but its also the song my mum used to play for me so I'd sleep through my nightmares. It brings make such happiness.
"I am so sorry Ellie, not speaking to you is driving me crazy, can we be friends again?" He ask and I just hug him in reply, appearing right before his eyes and then diving on top of him.
"! Come here you two" I shout with glee and drag Fred and Oliver in for a hug, back to old times I guess, " I missed you guys so much don't ever do that again, we have to stick forever your my brothers- kind off, maybe not" I can feel their eyes on me as I babble but i keep quiet, thinking about how the only one who is actually like a brother to me is Fred, the other two are something else entirely.
" Ms. Roberts, may I speak to you? Its concerning your father and your name, your friends may come to." Dumbeldore says, appearing from the wing, we all look at him and with a firm look he walks in the direction of his office. We follow suit.
