Hopes and Time turners

Scar twins

I woke up to the sound of my mother crying. After a second, my forehead started hurting like mad, and I felt... blood? Yep. There was blood running from my forehead down my face. I groaned a little bit and then everyone noticed I was awake. My father and mother looked worried and my brother looked sad. "What's going on?" I inquired, scared of what I might hear. 

Uncle Harry spoke up. "Rose, you have a lightning scar on your forehead." 

My whole world turned upside down. A lightning scar? "What?"

My dad nodded and my mother did too. I looked in the mirror at myself and saw a deep lightning shaped cut on my forehead that was bleeding like mad. The scar did not look good on me, it drew attention away from my eyes and hair, which were my crowning features. 

Harry looked sympathetic and Scorpius, who was also there, looked like he felt sorry for me. 

My grandma and Vic and Fleur, if possible, got worse. I thought they were bad before, but that was just a warm up compared to how I was being treated now. I had to sneak out of bed through the window, so as not to get caught, to go outside. 

Albus, Scorpius and I spent most of our time on the roof. My scar started looking more like Uncle Harry's every day, until it was identical to it. My cousins nicknamed us the "scar twins". 

The day before we were supposed to go to school was hectic and we were all packed by morning. Grandma gave me a list of things not to do at Hogwarts while a serial killer was after me, i.e.

*Going out alone is not allowed

*No sneaking out at night

*no forest

*Don't trust anyone entirely except for your family

*HOGWARTS SECRET PASSAGES ARE OFF LIMITS

*Don't ever go looking for Delphi

*No keeping secrets

*Be trustworthy as well as cognicent 

*Be wise with your choices

My grandmother gave the list to Albus and Scorpius as well, so there'd be no excuse to not follow the guidelines. 

"Stay safe all of you. I'd never feel right again if one of you died! Love you so much. Scorpius, as far as I'm concerned, you are part of our family."

AWWW!

Talk about forgiveness!

We slept a little more lightly that night, and leaving for the Hogwarts express was hectic as well. I found a compartment and sat with Albus, Scorpius and Alice. We talked about Christmas and Alice saw the message from her home, so she asked about that and we told her. Alice thought the scar was cute and thought I should not try to cover it up, but let everyone see I was not to be trifled with. I rolled my eyes and pushed her softly. 

As we left the train, I noticed something was off. Namely, my forehead felt like it was on fire where my scar was. I yelled in pain, making Albus and Scorpius rush to my side. The pain didn't stop during the feast, and it got worse before I went to bed. 

It got so bad that I had my first scar dream.
