Chapter 17 - Monday blues

Bae woke early on Monday hoping to catch someone before the manic rush started for breakfast. She watched as the other girls in her dorm got ready, with proud looks on their faces. They sneered at her as they watched her change her hair into dark red curls down her back. Bae put on a brave face and smiled, if all went to plan they'd respect her before they knew it. She grabbed her black satchel and the book from her mother and hurried out of the dorm room. She ran quickly down the stairs almost tripping on her own small feet. Part of her wanted to change them because they made her clumsy, but that was who she was. Bae carried on running, her red waist length curls bouncing as she ran as quickly as she could until she was out of the common room. Once she was out she started walking slowly. She better be impressed! She then smirked evilly and walked quicker towards the Great Hall. To her surprise it was relatively empty and only had a few people sitting eating the food. She headed off towards the library maybe there will be people in there. Bea walked alone in silence listening to her footsteps bounce off the floor, and conversations of people walking past in small groups. It wasn't until that moment that she realised how alone she was at Hogwarts, she ate alone, she read alone and went to class alone. She wondered the halls by herself as normal people travelled in groups. She turned a corner and walked into the library. Making her way into the corner and sitting down by the window. She watched as two people ran around the grounds sweating in the early spring sun. Bae reached down into her bag and pulled out the book her mother had brought for her, she pulled it close and smelled the muggle book shop. No hint of magic, the way life had been before she had told her about magic. She flicked through the pages quickly, noticing that it was new. She watched as a piece of paper fell from between the pages and landed on the floor perfectly, it was tattered and ripped slightly but it was clearly wrote in her mother's neat hand writing. Bae bent down to pick it up feeling the creases in the pages, she smiled, her mother hadn't written to her in weeks. The closer the note got the more she realised that it was written in a rush, not like her mother at all; she always took time to write letters to her daughter and enjoyed the time it took up. There was a smudge of ink on the one side and was wrote in a muggle biro, but a line that could have been easily removed by magic. Bae took a deep breath and started to read in her head.

To my beautiful daughter Bellani

Please forgive me for what I am about to write, there has been great conflict between families here at the shop. The Ministry of Magic doesn't approve of your father owning a magical shop, with him being a muggle and all. I'm sorry I thought times had moved on from when I was younger, but I guess I was wrong. I'm afraid we will have to pull you out of Hogwarts, I know that you love it there sweetie but the ministry doesn't trust us anymore and we can't have them knowing where you are. We're going into hiding, I'm going to change, being a metamorphmagus but your father is fleeing to the muggle world to stay with grandma, if she agrees to have you then you will be sent home immediately. We can't afford to be on the run and to pay for your Hogwarts tuition at the same time. I'll see you soon, don't lose hope in me, and remember I'm always here. Be nice to your Grandma and tell your father I love him, behave and do everything he tells you. I love you so much Bae don't you ever forget that.

Love you lots

Mother.

Bea sighed and looked down at the note. I will not cry, I will not cry! She repeated to herself. It sounded more like a suicide note than a letter you would write to your daughter. Bea looked at the date in the corner. That had been 3 weeks ago! She thought. Surely I should be at home by now? Her breathing increased and she started shaking. What had happened to her mother and father?

"GET UP YOU LAZY BUTT" Fred rolled over and ignored the shouting

"FRED!" He pulled the duvet over his head and decided not to hear the shouting. His pillow was removed from beneath him and was hitting him on the head. "WHY IS YOUR ALARM GOING OFF?!" Fred sat up quickly and looked at his twin.

"Oh rotten smelly socks!" Fred said. George laughed

"I think you've been in the kitchens too much dear brother" He said laughing Fred shot him a glance then threw off his sheets and hurrying to the bathroom, with George trailing behind slowly still half asleep and rubbing his eyes. "Where are we going?"

"WE?" Fred shouted in panic, then saw Georges tired but shocked face. "I mean we?" Fred paused to think "Are going for a run"

"Oh"

"Yeah"

The twins shared a look then grabbed their running shoes and clothes and headed out of the castle at half 5 in the morning. They started slowly warming up to the cold air outside feeling the early morning dew hit the back of their legs. Fred sped up quickly and laughed as George failed to catch up.

"When did you get faster than me?"

"I" he said pointing at himself "Have a girlfriend to impress" George's face became confused

"Had? You mean had" George corrected him. Fred looked at the floor and pretended not to look at him scared he'd give it away. "Fred come on"

"I don't want to talk about it"

"You have to"

"But I don't want to"

"Fred"

"I said I don't want to talk about it" Fred gritted his teeth and ran quicker hearing George's footsteps catch up with him he ran faster and faster until he could no longer hear George's footsteps behind him. He continued to run faster and faster feeling his adrenalin and his anger pumping through him. The voices in his head returning "We always thought that Hermione and Ron would end up together" Fred breathed in deeply and clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging into his palms and ran faster, trying to stop the voices but they continued.

"How could I love you when he has always been there for me" Fred shook his head and dug his fingernails in deeper. Running faster trying to drown it out with the beating of his heart

"You never even noticed me, or spoke to me. You treated me like I wasn't even there" The voices ringing in his head and playing with his heart strings. His heart rate increased and got louder

"You flirted with other girls; you toyed with their hearts, why would I be any different?" Fred ran and ran and ran not caring that he was inside not caring that anyone could see him he just had to out run the voices. He ran all the way back to the dorm then took a long shower. Around 40 minutes later his skin had gone wrinkly and was burning from the heat of the water. He got dressed into his school uniform and started running his fingers though his hair. His mind drifting from where his was to what Hermione might have been doing.

"Hermione!" He started running though the dorm passed George and into the common room he started walking towards the kitchens quickly hoping Hermione wouldn't mind that he was late. He checked his watch ten to seven, she would have been waiting for twenty minuets . He skidded around a corner and bumped into a small girl who fell on the floor Fred thought about leaving her and how happy Hermione would be to finally see him, he started running again then stopped and looked back at the girl.

"Bae?" The small girl looked up "Your hairs red" Fred looked at the girl in shock then realised that she was hurt. "I-I-I mean are you okay?" He offered her a hand to pick her up. She smiled and took it pulling herself up. She was still shaking.

"Thanks Fred I'm fine" She picked up her bag from where it had fallen on the floor and walked up stumbling and looking lost.

"Are you sure what's wrong?" Fred asked taking a few steps closer.

"It's a long story, you looked like you were in a rush" Fred looked at his watch five to seven

"Well I mean" Fred thought about it, by the time he got to the kitchens he would be half an hour late at least. Hermione wouldn't be happy she would be angry; anyway it's just this once. "It can wait till later"

Hermione walked into the Great Hall 5 Minutes before lesson started she sighed and sat down on the other end of the table from everyone else. Not really in the mood to talk to anyone or acknowledge their existence, she felt hurt and let down that Fred hadn't shown up like he said he would. She had lost a whole hour of revision for him and that was just today. She sighed and headed off to class with a cold piece of toast.

Later that day Hermione was sat in the library It was cold and dark, but Hermione didn't care she was sure that the room was perfectly warm but the soul magic was keeping her cold. She thought about how Fred didn't show that morning and where he could have possibly been.

"Asleep" She muttered "Just forgot, I'm not that important" Hermione sighed and closed her book sharply making a loud bang. There was a squeal, that made Hermione look round but she only saw a small girl walking along the isles slowly. She had long red curls cascading down her back.

"Bae?" Hermione asked to the small girl

"Oh hi Hermione. How are you?" She asked smiling brightly

"Oh I'm okay tired I guess" She ran her hands through her hair pulling slightly on the bottom noticing that it had gone slightly ginger she made a shocked noise then tucked it behind her ear pretending not to notice. "How are you Bae?"

"Oh I'm okay my ankle hurts though some guy ran into me this morning" She sighed and looked at Hermione's face "Oh don't worry he made up for it" Hermione brushed the last comment aside and put her book in her bag trying to fill the silence that had surrounded them. Bae started walking towards an isle closer to Hermione, Hermione noticed she was limping.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Hermione asked

"Yeah its fine"

"Have you been to the hospital wing?"

"Yeah it's got a healing charm on it so it should be fine" Hermione studies the girls ankle watching the way it moved

"You know you have to reapply those every so often especially with a brake"

"BROKEN!" Bea squealed

" Well yeah surely Madam Pomfrey would have told you that?"

"ummm – well- she – umm"

"Come on you have to go this is really bad it must hurt!"

"Listen Hermione it'll be fine"

"Bae you have to go!"

"Oh alright fine!" Bae walked away and grabbed her bag then walked back to Hermione "Well um thanks"

"Oh do you not want me to come with you?" Hermione asked

"Sure why not after you've convinced me to go!" She smiled sweetly and waited for Hermione to pick up her bag. They walked in silence to the hospital wing Hermione lost in thought about Fred not turning up before breakfast and wondered why.

"Hey Bae have you ever been let down by someone?"

"Yeah all the time!" Bae said thinking about how her parents were going to pull her out of Hogwarts

"How do you cope?"

"Well, you don't really you just kind of manage with what they did wrong and try to move on" Bae smiled at her hopefully

"Maybe there's a book about it in the library" Hermione mumbled

"Is that not what you were looking for?"

"No, not really" They walked in uncomfortable silence and tried to make more conversation.

"So how are your studies, I saw you were looking at runes" Bae said

"They're okay it's annoying though because I'm slightly ahead of everyone and know all the answers"

"That's got to be good though, because then you can ace all your tests"

"I guess, I've been falling behind slightly though"

"Oh why" Bae asked innocently

"Because, Oh just ummm – just everything"

"Oh so not about a guy?"

"If this is about George it's not"

"Oh it's not"

"Really you asked me to talk to him?"

"Did he talk about me?!"

"No, but we don't talk much"

"Oh can you two talk more? So that I can get to know him?"

"Sure" Bae looked around and realised that they were stood outside the hospital

"Will you stay with me I don't normally go to the hospital wing I don't know how it works"

"It doesn't really have a system you kind of just go and sit down or talk to her and explain your injurie"

"Oh" Hermione went to walk away looking her watch noticing she was late to meet with Fred. "Wait! You're leaving me?" Bae sounded worried

"Umm well I have to be somewhere"

"Oh" Bae looked worried and sad, Hermione looked at the older girl and noticed something wasn't quite right with her, she had more attitude and didn't seem to want to talk to anyone lately. Hermione thought about it, Fred had missed their last meeting.

"It's only once, sure I'll stay with you"
