His first thought was that the floor was vaguely more comfortable than he thought it would be. After all, the last thing he’d seen was the ceiling of the Leaky Cauldron. He must have lost it when his head hit the ground? And Merlin, did his head hurt. Actually, rephrase- did his everything hurt. He had absolutely no idea what he’d been hit with but he never, ever, ever wanted to get hit with it again.

Did his arms work? Not really, actually. Nothing felt like it worked. Was that a blanket on him that he felt when he moved his finger? Checked again and, yep, a blanket. After what felt like a much delayed reaction, his eyes cracked open. Okay, so not the Leaky Cauldron. Somewhere else. His eyes began to move around, trying to assess where he might be, but instead they landed on Lily. Lily, slumped in a chair, looking exhausted and puffy eyed. 

“Told you leaving me was pointless,” he said, voice far more croaky and weak than he had anticipated.

Oh, look who decided to come crawling back.

Uhm… yes. Once. 

27. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO BEFORE YOU WENT TO BED LAST NIGHT?

( Their first friend  )

Her connection with her brother runs deep, far stronger than biological connection, and so friendship is not a quality she would have ever used to describe them, thus her first friend was not the most conventional of connections. In fact, very few know that Alecto Carrow’s first companion was her shadow. That blackened creature free from the fear that it, like so many other pets or elves would fall to harm at the hands of her monster of a father---or her own curious whim. 

Brother!  Love my brother.  He is the best.  He is a better brother than me.  He also has better hair than me.  I don’t know where he got that.  I’m taller, though.  And smarter.  He’s very smart, but I’m smarter.  He’s also very dumb.  He does dumb things.  I worry about the dumb things.  But I love him.  He’s the best.

The smallest and cutest baby after all of my children and all of the Weasley children. He’s got pickle eyes like his mum. He’s so tiny and silly and he has really tiny baby hands.
