02 | a love in a snake's eyes

I AWOKE TO SOFT SHEETS; the morning light trickled in through the blinds. Shedding myself of the remaining glimpses of a dream, my eyes were still shut as I soaked in the warmth of my covers before allowing my light blue eyes to see the bright sun's ray.

Turning my head to the right, I was met with a pair of stormy grey eyes, the ones I fell in love with. A smile broke onto my face, copying his actions. "Good morning, beautiful." Merlin! I melted on the spot. I always loved it when he called me those pet names.

"Good morning, handsome." I greeted back. He smiled and kissed my temple, pulling me closer to his chest. I sighed in content. I cuddled into his chest and was about to slip into dreamland when a scream brought me out of it. I groaned and was about to get up when I felt something cold and wet splash onto me. My eyes widened in shock as I saw water dripping from my hair. I looked up and saw the culprits faces.

Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini.

I mustered up the scariest glare before jumping out of bed. I looked and saw Draco also covered in water. My eyes softened as I saw him glare at them as well, but that soon turned hard when I saw the two run down the hall. Draco got out of bed, and together we chased the idiots down the hall.

"GET BACK HERE!" I heard Draco scream, wand in hand. We ran into the living room and saw them hiding behind the mothers. I grinned sadistically and apparated behind them. I leant down and whispered 'boo'. I heard them jump up and scream; 'Bloody murder' or 'Merlin's Beard.'

I put my hands above each other and waved them around a bit to create a red ball filled with water. I pushed my hands forward, towards the two, and soon, the red light went above them and released all the water, which came splashing onto them. I laughed, along with Draco and the mums, as they screamed, yet again.

"Payback." I sang. They all glared at me, and I blew them a kiss. I heard a low growl and laughter exploded out of everyone in the room except the owner of the voice. I looked at Draco and saw that he was glaring at the two. I shook my head; he's soooooo possessive. And I love it.

"Good morning, I see you all had an eventful morning." I looked back and saw Narcissa and the others smiling at us. I smiled back and nodded.

"It seems we have. Now if you could excuse, I'm gonna take a shower." I exclaimed and walked out of the room, up the stairs, down the corridor, turned left and pushed open the door at the end, the biggest door and bedroom in the house. I smiled as I saw the familiar room.

The room I cried, laughed, slept, talked, walked, ran and played in. I walked over to the bathroom and started taking a shower. I stripped out of my clothes and stepped into the shower, allowing the warm water to cascade down my back. It pours down my side, as my mind fades into dullness and everything is a foggy illusion.

The sensation of the steamy water calms me; it takes my mind off things. All the things I honestly don't care about. It's the water. My mind swirls, and it's like I'm standing under an everlasting waterfall. Ever so beautiful. Images pop into my mind, memories. It was before the war had happened. How we were all one big happy family. Now? Now I barely see them. They're all mourning over Fred's and the others death that they've never noticed me. Hell, I don't think they've noticed I no longer am there.

I've been staying with Draco and the others. They welcomed me with open arms. They knew how I felt and comforted me when I needed it. Fred's death took a toll on me, as well as Nymphadora. I was closer to those two, and George than the others. The twins were my favourite sibling, not Ginny. The twins. They were my rock. I told them everything, and in return, they told me their secrets. Everyone keeps telling me to forget. To let them go. How? It's all part of me; I can't let go of the pain without losing something sacred.

The good memories keep me going, and the bad ones make me want to curl under the duvet and never come out again, but they are locked tight together like two sides of the same coin. I could never forget them, as well as George. He could never forget the memory of his twin brother. Now, we only had each other. Our trio is now down to two. Poor Georgy.

Fred was his twin, his other half, and now he's gone and so is half of his soul. And my poor Godmother. She's gone as well. She was like a sister to me; I told her everything, more than I told the twins. I mean, you wouldn't tell your brothers who you had a crush on. And now their both gone. As well as Remus, Sirius, Dumbledore, Snape, Madeye Moody, Cedric and many more.

A sad smile tugged at my lips, my eyes watering as I thought of everyone that died during the battle. I was about to turn the shower off when the room started spinning. I gasped and soon slipped and fell. I heard screams coming from outside, the bathroom door slamming open before darkness overtook me.
