The Forgotten Potter {Fred Weasley}

If Only I Was There

Tonight has been a nightmare, I sit up in my bed and look around trying to find something to get rid this overwhelming feeling of gilt. Today was my best friend Ally's birthday so just like every other years she wanted to do something with creatures however this year she wanted to see muggle creatures so her parents took the too of us to the zoo. You're probably wondering what could go wrong at the zoo well except an animal getting lose and to most people this would be correct but for me the worst kind of thing can happen and luckily for me it happened, I saw my little brother for the first time in 10 long years. It's still hard to talk about why I haven't seen him in so many years but all you need to know is my little brother is Harry Potter, yes I mean the Harry Potter the boy who lived. Seeing him wasn't the problem it was seeing the way my so called family treated like a waist of space. We where in the reptile house when Harry finally had enough of our cousin Dudley and made the glass disappear causing not only the large snake to get out but Dudley to to fall into the enclosure. I've never felt more proud in my life I couldn't stop smiling until I saw the look our uncle gave him harry looked away from him and we made eye contact for the fist time in 10 years.

"Persephone"? I hear a soft voice pulling me away from the events the happened earlier today
I look up to see ally standing at my door with a plate of cookies " I know you miss him but in just a few months you'll finally be able to see him every day to show him everything that Hogwarts has to give" she looks at me with a hopeful smile placing the plate of cookies on the bed sitting down in front of me as I pick up the photo of the two of us and our parents taken the same day they where taken from us the day I lost every thing I knew.

"Ally he was only one when it happened he wont remember anything let alone me if it wasn't for your parents casting that memory charm on me I would barely remember them myself" picking up a cookie hugging the photo looking at her with a soft smile "You always know when something is wrong, I just can't believe that he's almost 11 and about to get his acceptance letter."

"Seph of corse I know when something's wrong I'm your best friend I also know that its not your fault that what happened happened but sitting here wishing you had been there wont change anything you were only a baby" I look up at her grabbing another cookie

"I know, but it's hard not to if I had been there that night I may have also been sent to live with my aunt and uncle then maybe I'd be able to protect him"

Ally gets up moving the plate over to my bedside table then sitting down next to me rapping her arms around me and humming softly, I lay my head on her chest holding back my tears. This is how most nights go whenever I'm sad or feel guilty about everything, she'll come into my room with some form of food or sweet and remind me the what happened wasn't my fault then she'd hold me which always caused me to cry until I'd fall asleep and we would stay like that until morning.

"You know its ok to cry" she says knowing those are the words I need to hear. We just sit there her holding me close to her humming softly until the only sound left if the sound of her humming and the soft sound of my breathing. Knowing I've fallen asleep she covers us in a blanket and drifts off into a deep slumber herself.

I'm awoken by the sound of muffled voices coming from the kitchen, the muffled voices was accompanied by the beautiful smell I was met with every morning. I role out of bed and notice the photo of my parents, Harry and I laying on my bed, picking it up I plant a soft kiss on the photo before returning it to my bedside table.

"WILL YOU TWO CUT IT OUT" I laugh softly to myself and roll my eyes at the sound of Mrs. Weasley yelling at what I can only believe are Fred and George. Fred and George are in the same year and house as Ally and Hogwarts which in the beginning the four of us where more then excited, however as time when on the twins started to distance themselves from Ally and I until they just stoped talking to us. When that happened i felt lost and as if I had done something wrong, it was impossible not to think about them we had the same classes, the same common room and not to mention all the other girls in our year fancied them. As I'm debating whether or not to go down to the kitchen someone knocks on my door.

"Who is it" I ask not wanting open the door just yet,

" Its Ginny, Mrs. Rose asked me to tell you that foods almost done" smiling I open my door giving Ginny a hug she's one of my favourites out of the seven of them.

"Thanks Ginny" she smiles up at me and heads down stairs, taking a deep breath I follow her down to the kitchen not bothering to notice the twins talking with their brothers. Walking into the kitchen I give Mrs. Rose a kiss on the cheek like every morning since she took me in.

"Good morning darling Ally told me what happened last night so I thought me and Molly would make your favourites for brunch" she says hugging me before placing a comforting kiss on my forehead. I smile softly at her silently thanking her before going out to the garden to think about life and try to clear my head knowing that bing in there with everyone else wouldn't help. After a few minutes of being alone I hear the door open and someone sit next to me.

" I brought out some food for us so you don't have to go back in" Ally says holding out a plate filled with food

" Thanks Al, I cant believe I'm this close to being reunited with him" I look over at Ally laughing softly finding her staring at her plate of food lovingly

" You know you don't have to wait for me to start eating right" I smile stating to eat the food on my own plate. Ally and I spent the rest of the day in the garden talking about the upcoming year at Hogwarts among other things until the two of us grew tired and when up to sleep. Getting into bed I continue thinking about what the first day back at school is going to be like, what house Harry might be in hoping he'll be in Gryffindor like me not that I'd care if he where in a different house, but the one thing I thought of the most was if he would remember me as I fall into a peaceful sleep.
