Beloved - F. Weasley

Trigger warning: death, violence

The first week of the summer holiday was different to the normal ones. Carina had just felt the air was different, even in the Muggle World. It was obvious that something was wrong.

She hadn't been herself since the incident, murdering someone really haunted a person's head, caving your old step-dads skull in really didn't help the bad dreams either. Carina had woken up in the night screaming numerous times that she had to stay in with Orion. Not that either of the two minded but it had gotten so bad to the point that Orion couldn't properly soothe her. Orion thought the only person that would truly be able to soothe her was Fred or Blaise and they weren't there. The Phillips' had never seen her like that before.

She was causing worry for everyone, even Kian Phillips. He had known that there was things going on in the wizarding world and he had wanted to protect the two young teens as much as possible but he'd realised that being a Muggle could only do so much and he probably didn't fully understand everything that was going on.

Blaise had noticed the bags under Carina's eyes and he'd also noticed how much weight she had lost. She was almost bones but Blaise couldn't say much he hadn't been fairing too well in the eating front either. His mother had been putting a lot of pressure on him to be perfect, she was even talking about sorting out a wedding for him.

He hadn't wanted that.

The twins pulled apart and sat on the swings and swung back and forth slowly and gently. Carina thought that her actions had a terrible effect on Blaise because he'd be under pressure now and she genuinely felt awful.

"Blaisey, hows things at home?" She asked

"How can you call that place home? You've been shunned from there!" He shouted kind of exasperated

"Because you're my home Blaisey, I don't care how awful that place is! You're my home and my family, I don't care where I am you are my home," she said getting defensive, Blaise and carina let out a sigh and he looked at her taking her hand in his
