Bella's POV

I can't believe it! My cousin is coming here, to Forks! Charlie's gone to the airport to collect her and I'm at the Cullens, waiting. I've decided to let her get settled in before I see her.

"Bella!" Esme calls, waving a hand in front of my eyes.

"Hmm?" I whisper, snapping out of my daze.

"I said, is she starting at Forks High tomorrow?" Esme asks, for what must be the tenth time.

"Oh, um ... I don't think so. She finished last week, I think. She didn't want to stay for an extra year, so she's coming here instead. Her friends, Harry and Ron are doing an extra year, their final year now, but they'll visit during the holidays." I tell them. "Oh! Um ... don't mention jokes when she's around." I say, looking at Emmett.

"Why? Doesn't she like jokes or something?" Emmett laughs. My face consorts into one of pain.

"No, actually. One of her best friends was a great prankster along with his twin, and ... well ... he, er, he was killed fairly recently. They're Ron's older brothers and you'd never see one without the other. They have - they had their own joke shop and everything but now, well, Ron's other brother, Percy, is trying his best to help everyone through, but his main focus is getting George and Ginny through.
"See, Percy was stood with Fred when he was killed, and suffers from survivors guilt. Fred and George were twins, each a half of a whole and together, they were the whole. Now Fred's gone, George struggles to get on with life, meaning that he doesn't see the point of living anymore, but he stops himself from suicide because of his sister, Ginny. He knows that she needs him more than anyone else."

I notice everyone's confused looks and sigh.

"Ever since she was little she's had nightmares, but only in her second year, she started to have absolutely terrible night terrors, made worse by previous events. Fred was always there to wake her, along with George, they would sing Ginny a lullaby, her lullaby," I glance at Edward when I say this, "and would take her up to their room to stay with her, in case she had another. Recently, she has taken to staying in Fred's bed, because she knows that George is there to comfort her, and Fred's scent helps to keep the terrors at bay."

I lean into Edward and wait for what I just said to sink in.

"So no pranks or jokes around her?" Emmett asks, his face serious. I nod.

"Unless she brings it up." I add, feeling relaxed.

"She'll be settled in by now, love." Edward whispers in my ear. I stand up, followed by Rosalie. I glance at Edward, who shakes his head, looking bemused.

"What? I can't give her a lift home?" Edward sighs and looks at Alice.

"Safe and sound, Eddie." I roll my eyes at the sound of Edwards nickname. "See you tomorrow, Bella! I'm taking you in tomorrow instead of Edward."

"See you later guys!" I laugh, following Rose to her car. I get in and smile slightly at her.

"I don't hate you, Bella," she whispers. "I just wish you would have a bit more respect for your life, instead of throwing it all away." She looks at me before starting the engine and speeding out of the long drive, and onto the main road.

Hermione's POV

"I'll see you in October, Mione!" Ron whispers, giving me a kiss which I happily return. "Love you." He mutters, before pulling away. I notice Harry with his arms around Ginny, who rolls her eyes at Ron.

"Yeah, we'll visit in October. We'll meet you at the airport the first day we're out. Have fun!" Harry says, leaving Ginny's side to give me a hug. I smile.

"See you soon. I'll ask Jake to give me a lift over." I tell him, remembering my childhood days spent at Charlie's. I notice Rons face change at the sound of my oldest friend. I roll my eyes at him as Harry pulls away to stand by Ginny, who hugs me.

"I'll see you soon, Moine!" She tells me confidently. Ron snorts in response. "Harry's bringing me." She whispers in my ear, just loud enough for me and Harry to hear. I glance at Harry and he winks at me. Ginny pulls away and leans into Harry, smiling at me warmly. I smile at them all before disaparating to Forks airport.

The second my feet hit solid ground, I throw up, vomit splattering the pavement.

Aperating to a different country is hard.

Once I stop vomiting, I straighten up and vanish the sick after checking that no one could see me. I stow my wand in my pocket and head out to the car park, and see Charlie's cruiser parked. I jog over and hop in.

"How are you Mi?" Charlie asks, not taking his eyes off of the road.

"I'm good, thanks Charlie!" I reply, smiling slightly. Charlie has always been one to get to the point.

"How're your mom and dad doing?"

"They're doing really well, actually. Dad got promoted, so now he's the boss at the dental center." I let out a deep breath, hoping for the best. "Charlie, can my friends come over in October and stay for a few days?"

"Which friends?" Charlie asks. I know that means yes.

"Harry, Ron and Ginny..."

"The boys are to stay in the living room and Ginny's in your room." I sigh and put my legendary beaded bag by my feet. I grimace as it makes a rather loud thud. We stay quiet for the rest of the journey, arriving at Charlie's in under ten minutes.

"So, how's Jake doing?" I ask, as I grab my bag and get out. Charlie raises an eyebrow.

"He's doing great! Really different now, but ... yeah, he's good." Charlie tells me, really animated now. I smile and follow him into the house. He takes me up the stairs to a door at the end of the hallway and opens it, showing me a double bed with red and gold bedding, peach walls with the Gryffindor lion painted on one of the walls. I smile. Under the window is a window seat with red and gold cushions and a blanket with a lion on. I notice a desk in the corner with an Apple MacBook, paper and a lamp. Next to that is a bookcase with two shelves already full of books.

"Bella, picked out the colours and I chose to put the lion there." Charlie mutters. I turn around and hug him, before quickly letting go. Charlie has never really been one for showing affection. Charlie mutters something before leaving the room, closing the door.

I open my bag and tip the contents onto my bed, careful not to break anything.

I grab the books, my ink and quill and place them on the bookcase and on my desk.

I put all of my clothes in the wardrobe and chest of draws. I pull out a picture of everyone - me, Harry and the Weasley's - from before the war, and put it on the desk, watching them all smiling and messing around. Harry and Ginny sneak the occasional kiss, as do me and Ron.

My gaze stops on a happy Fred and George, and my eyes fill with tears, threatening to spill. I turn away from the photo and put everything left in my beaded bag. I hear a car pull up and two females talking. I sigh and take my toiletries to the bathroom. I hear the front door open and close, and Charlie's voice.
