Year 2: Flying Cars

It was night time and you had just gotten beaten by Mrs. Evans yet again. At this point you had gotten used to it only squeezing your eyes when it happened. You didn't want to give her the satisfaction.

You were laying in bed staring at the ceiling when a bright blue car flying in the air appeared at your window. In the car you saw three red heads and a raven haired boy. You recognized them as Ron, Fred, George, and Harry.

You stood up but slowly as your whole body was aching terribly from the summer. They all had smiles on their faces and you were excited but couldn't express it. You opened your window and they had the car window rolled down.

"Y/n!" they all cheered.

You faintly smiled and Ron quietly said "get your luggage!"

You hadn't unpacked your luggage from last year. You used all your effort to pick it up but tried not to show you were struggling. You put it in the car and started climbing through the window. Your stomach stretched out a little and you squeezed your eyes shut and clenched your teeth.

You finally got in the car and sat next to Harry. You wanted to give them the biggest smiles and tell them how much you've missed them but you didn't have the energy. Your clothes were also in rags as you started not changing as it caused too much unnecessary pain.

"Bloody Hell! Why were you in the attic Y/n?" Ron asked you.

"Oh erm," you started saying as your voice was practically gone "I just like to go in there when I'm bored." you lied.

The whole ride there they all were talking and laughing as you had pushed through the whole time.

You finally got to the Weasley's house and it was extraordinary. When you walked inside limping but hiding it Mrs. Weasley had came out of a room and started yelling at Ron and the twins and when she saw you and Harry she pulled you both into a hug and you winced when she did.

"Are you alright Y/n? You seem a little off." Mrs. Weasley asked concerned.

"Oh erm, yeah I am just really tired." you replied lying and the words barley be able to be heard because of your broken voice.

She gave you a concerned look and so did Harry and George.

You were very thin as you were barley given any food at the orphanage but you couldn't tell as your ragged clothes were covering it.

"Well I'm going to make breakfast and will one of you mind lending her a set of clothes".

"I will" Harry said proudly and pulled out of his luggage his quidditch jersey and a pair of sweatpants.

"Erm thank you but may I please have a long sleeved shirt?" you asked Harry as you did not want to show some of the scars on your arms.

Still looking concerned, he grabbed a long sleeve shirt out of his luggage.

You went and got changed and when you got downstairs you could smell loads of bacon and pancakes. You hadn't had the comforting smell of food in a long time and you sat down at the table next to Harry.

You scarfed down your food in an instant and were too shy to ask for more as for at the orphanage you knew you had to respect Mrs. Evans or you would be scared she would beat you again.

You all talked the whole time when you heard a large thud on the window and saw the Weasley's owl that just had hit it.

"Percy would you mind fetching the mail." Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Ah it's our Hogwarts letters and look, they've got Y/n and Harry's as well." Percy said handing everyone their letter.

You were relieved as you were scared that for some reason you wouldn't get one again. When you grabbed it, you did in a very specific way making sure not to show your burnt and calloused fingers.
