Nightmares filled my head that night. Anything from seeing Voldemort again to my brother hitting me. I have nightmares quite often but none as bad as these. The worst thing is I can't wake up. These nightmares seem to last for hours. I'm trapped. Trapped in the hell of my own damaged mind. ***********************************************************************************************"Come on Georgie. Don't she's sleeping"I hear a familiar voice whisper. Fred Weasley. What are those cheeky asses up to now? I play along acting like I'm asleep. Even adding a bit of a snore to really sell the act. "Come on, Fred when have you ever try to stop a prank.I'll jut put the shaving foam on her hand and give her nose a tickle. It's harmless"George says. He follows through but I have the best idea. As he tickles my nose I raise my hand but instead of rubbing my nose I hit George in the face with the shaving foam. 

I open my eyes to see George's left cheek covered in shaving foam while Fred in the corner is in hysterics. "Just a little reminder that I don't snore" I say getting out of the bed. "You were awake?" George asks scrapping shaving foam off his face. "You were loud" I answer back. I start laughing at George along with Fred. In mere moments all three of us could be heard laughing. I throw my arms around George's neck and say "I'm sorry". George squeezes me so tightly all the air leaves my body. I move over to Fred and hug him too. "How are you?" He asks me squeezing me too. "I'm fine"I answer back. Fred's hand goes to my cheek. "Someone told you about it I'm guessing?" I sat referring to the bruise that seems to have faded considerably.

"I swear Char once we go back to school we'll beat the living day lights out of him"George says still scrapping shaving foam off of his face.
"No ye won't. First of all he'd fight back. Second ye would get in trouble and third he's with the deatheaters now. Merlin only knows how strong that makes him."I say

"But Char-"Fred starts but I interrupt him "You don't know him like I do. He'll stop at nothing to get what he wants" I think of the times before I was put into Gryffindor. Finnick and I couldn't have been closer. We used to tell each other all our secrets. We used to play games. We used to play in the garden. We used to do this thing where we would take as much food from the kitchen before we got caught. We were happy children....look what has happened.

"Now get out because I''ve got to get dressed" I say pushing them out of the room. "Sure you don't need help?"George asks winking. I just roll my eyes and shut the door. I hear laughter move away from outside my door,getting quieter as it moves down the hall till it disappears. I move over to my bag and open it. I see sitting on top of the mix of clothing and small personal items is a jumper. A blue jumper. Justin's jumper. I had forgotten he gave it to me.

I pick it up and put it to my nose. It smells like him. No matter how many times I wear it. It always smells like him. After a few minutes I step out of my room fully dressed only hit against someone. I don't understand why I do this so often. I hit the ground. "Oh sorry 'bout that love" a voice says. I look up. Sirius Black. "No...no it's my fault"I say standing. Sirius' hand goes to my cheek. He looks at it for a moment before just walking away.

I see him disappear down the hall. Suddenly I feel someone grab me from behind. I screech. I can already tell who it is. Fred and George. One of them props me up on their shoulders.

"I should get a restraining order from ye"I say laughing . "You know you love us"Fred says. He's the one carrying me on his shoulders. I tug at the long strands of red hair on his head. "Oww"He exclaims hitting me in the leg."Ye two desperately need haircuts"I dig my ankle into his chest. "I'll drop you"Fred threatens pinching my hand.

"Duck"George yells as we approach a doorway. After dodging the door frame I rest my chin on Fred's head. "Where are you taking me anyways?"I ask. "To Ginny"George answers "Ginny?" "Well she needs a friend to talk to and we're terrified we might get one of her makeovers"Fred says. George stops at a door. I recognise the pattern on the carpet. "Did you just take me in a circle?" I ask. "Told ya she'd notice"Fred says letting me down from his shoulders.

I push open the door. I see Ginny sitting on her bed. "Charlotte!"Ginny exclaims. She runs over to me and hugs me. "Hi"I say hugging her. "Come on Freddie before the ask if they can braid our hair"George says closing the door. Ginny and I start to laugh. This is what I wish my life could be like everyday. No.this is what it's going to be like everyday. Here's my chance for a new life.
