A death of a secret (Weasley love story)

Chapter 8. Summer

It was a summer before my 5th year at Hogwarts. I was laying on my bed ant thinking about tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll be going back to Hogwarts. My second home. During summer I missed my friends. They were in Egypt. I can't wait for them to tell me all about it.

This summer my family didn't go anywhere, because my mother got sick. But my dad never told me what kind of illness she has. So all the summer my dad worked, my mum was almost all of the time in the hospital and I had to watch my little brother. He was pain in the ass. I loved him, but he had too much energy. Always wanted to do something. So I had to.. He was now four years old. He always was running around and wanted to play games. His favorite was football, of course. I was always the one in the gates. Almost all of the time I let him win. I loved seeing him smiling because of his victory. But when I was too tired form all the house chores

My dad came back home with mum. She looked tired, so I helped to living room and she sat down on a rocking chair. My little brother ran to her and hugged her. I went to my dad.

'So ... what did the doctors say? 'I asked.

'She will be alright. She just need to rest a lot. '

I sighed. Everything is going to be alright. I went to the kitchen to make everyone tea. Found some biscuits in the cupboard. I put everything on serving tray and took it to the living room. Then I brought mum blanket and covered her legs. She thanked me and asked me how we have been and what we did. My brother told her that he helped me with my homework. He also told her how he knows everything about herb ology. He told her about wormwood. It is a very bitter herb and is used in potion-making.

'It's used in draught of living death. When a person drinks it - he ...'brother looking at me says.

'Is sent into a deathlike slumber 'I finish

'Yeah. That'

'That's nice' mum says and smiles.

We all sat down and chit chatted for a while. We were sitting like that for hours. It was nice to just sit there and talk to the people you love the most. Suddenly my phone started ringing. I looked at it and saw that I got a message from my friend. She asked me if I wanted to meet. I looked at my family and wrote her back that my mother just got back from a hospital, so I need to be home. After a minute he wrote back sad smile and wished me good luck in that boarding school, that I'm going. Yup. I had to lie to people. Parents asked if everything is alright. I nodded and said that I need to pack all of my stuff for school.

I kissed my parents on foreheads and went to my room. I bought some new clothes over the summer, so I put them in the luggage first, and then I put all the books and other school stuff and then finally found where I put my robes. Over the summer I also bought a lot of socks, so I put them in. I always (and I do mean always) lose them. After half an hour I finished packing all of my stuff. I put clothes on a bed to wear tomorrow.

After I finished I looked at the clock. It was already 10pm. I went to take a shower and went downstairs to say goodnight. I always went early to sleep before september the 1st. Some time later I drifted to sleep had the best dream in a long time. It was about Hogwarts and some dog. I always wanted a dog, but my parents never let me have one....
