Chapter 37 - Amazing Brother Figures

Your POV ○○○○○○○○○TW○○○○○○○○○○○

I curled up in a ball with my head in my knees as my body ached from the bruises and cuts that littered my skin. This is what I deserve, I'm not good enough for anything else. I'm a freak, a loser, a pathetic waste of space.

The holidays were soon going to be over and I wasn't sure what I was going to do. What was I going to do, go back to Hogwarts, there was honestly no point. I didn't have my powers and I couldn't use my wand I'm basically a muggle now. I heard a loud bang from upstairs causing me to flinch, my parents must be home. I went up to the door like I had learnt I needed to do and waited, but all I could hear was whispers. It was really strange. Suddenly there was a light knock on the door.

"Y/n, are you there?" Came a familiar voice.

"George?" I replied. He hushed me.

"We are getting you out of here" I heard Fred say. Soon the door was opened and the twins stood in front of me. I couldn't look at them, I looked horrible. They both pulled me into a gentle hug.

"You were meant to stay at Hogwarts, you promised us" George said clearly upset with me.

"I'm sorry, I just...it was hard being there on my own, all I could think of was Neville and it hurt" I admitted.

"Hey we understand but this was not the solution." Fred said as they both took me out and to their fathers car.

"We only just found out you were here, it scared us. We didn't want you to be hurt like this" George held me close.

"How did you find out?" I asked.

"Neville sent a letter to Ron thinking that you were with us." Fred told me.

He's probably snogging Hannah right now. I wanted to hate him for trying to trick me into believing love potions are real but I can't, I still have feelings for him.

When we got to the Burrow Mrs Weasley patched me up but some of my bruises remained. Harry was already at the Burrow as well, he told me that Sirius Black would be dropping in soon, I've never actually met him before but he was a marauder and he helped Harry where he could with the tournament.

Sirius' POV

When I arrived at the Burrow I greeted everyone. I filled Harry in with everything Voldemort that I knew at this point. Y/n came to meet me and told me everything she could about what happened in the tournament. She reminded me of myself when I was her age, she grew up so fast and it made me ashamed knowing about her living situation. But she was in good hands now, she just can't know everything about herself right now it would be dangerous for her. I was hard keeping the things I knew from her, but Remus had it worse he had to stay quiet for a year.

Your POV

Sirius gave me a weird look when he first saw me, but it might be just the shock of what I look like right now. Mrs Weasley was making sure I was eating enough while Fred and George kept my mental health in check. They tried to get me to talk to Molly but I wasn't comfortable with that right now, I don't think I can handle another person's reaction to how weak I really am. Harry patted my shoulder.

"How are you and Neville?" He asked.

"What do you mean? Why would we be talking?" I said. Harry frowned.

"I thought you did because he was the only one that saw you on the train." He replied.

"Yeah I think Hannah set him up to that though" I mumbled.

"What no she couldn't have, they aren't together because of the love potion" Harry said. I sighed.

"Do they seriously have you fooled, there's no such thing as love potions." I said tired of this.

"No Y/n there is, Hannah used one on him. He felt horrible about how things ended between you and he blames himself." Harry explained. I face palmed.

"I'm such an idiot, he tried to tell me but I didn't listen. He's going to hate me now" I panicked but Harry calmed me down.

"It's okay you can fix this, just talk to him and I'm sure you will work things out. Soon you will be back to normal" Harry was so confident that it was that simple. I looked down.

"I don't know if we can go back to normal even if it wasn't his fault" I said.

How can I be emotionally available for him right now. How can I be there for him when he needs me when I can't even be there for myself. I'm not stable enough for a relationship it would be unfair to Neville. Harry frowns but didn't pry anything out of me which I appreciated. I looked up and could have sworn Sirius was eavesdropping, I didn't have too much time to think about it as Fred and George started dragging me up to their bedroom. This was something they did often to cheer me up or get me to smile which I hardly did anymore. I'm completely different from when I first came to Hogwarts. Speaking of Hogwarts, we were going back in a couple of days.

Fred and George were messing around with these weird candies that caused the consumer to temporarily make the sound of whichever animal the candy assigned. Soon Harry, Ron and Ginny joined our shenanigans getting a good laugh out of it. I missed my friends so much Fred and George gave each other a look indicating they were happy with the amount of happiness they were providing me with today. When it was time for bed I became anxious about how I would sleep whether I'd wake up to find this was a dream. I didn't want to bother anyone about this, they probably already think I'm an attention seeker. I didn't end up sleeping very well and it showed.
