The snow is so beautiful, it falls from the sky like freshly torn pieces of parchment that glides its way gently down. It is so peaceful to watch, and it makes you forget about your troubles..for even that one small moment. The months dragged on at Hogwarts and it was almost Christmas time. I was informed I was top of the school in my marks in every subject. It doesn't feel like much of an accomplishment, given the crazy lady in pink who is ruling everything. I wanted to punch her, kick her..anything to make her realize the things she is trying to teach us are far too easy. There were two people keeping me sane..Fred and George.

Angelina, hasn't spoken a word to me since George and her broke up. It was very awkward being that she is my roommate. She never gives me evil looks, or says snide remarks..she just flat out ignores my existence. I wish that she would just realize that George and I are just very close friends..and nothing more. Although George doesn't seem to worry too much about their break up, he is the happy care free goofy boy I met over summer...And that might aggravate Angelina more.

Unfortunately for me, I have had to avoid my best friend.. Given our practises with Dumbledores army and her being in Umbridges band of misfits..it was not a good idea to hang around too much. It had been two months since starting up Dumbledores army, and everyone was doing so well. I was so proud at the effort all the students were putting in, and I was actually enjoying what we were doing. Everyone can now successfully stun and disarm their opponent. All the younger students were doing spells that older ones had mastered, and I felt so much better that if anything were to attack them..they could defend themselves.

Umbridge has now banned Hogsmeade visits, so Christmas shopping was out of the question. I would have to do it at diagon alley. I missed my sister and Remus so much, And I couldn't wait until Christmas vacation so I could see them. Today though I was growing increasingly worried...I couldn't find anyone..Harry, Hermione, Fred, George.. Nobody..It was like they were all gone, and no one knew where they went.

I was sitting in silence packing the last of my belongings..Angelina was doing the same, only muttering the occasional word to herself. Granted, Angelina and I were never the best of friends given our age difference and the fact that I was new, I still liked her and considered her my friend..and I hated she didnt want to talk to me.

"Angelina?" I called out as I packed the last few sweaters in my trunk. She stopped what she was doing, but she didn't turn around to face me. "Angelina..I don't understand why your mad at me.." I said as I walked to take a seat on the end of her bed. Finally she turned around to actually face me.. She had an unreadable look on her face, but took the seat next to me anyway.

"Im not mad at you" She told me and fondled with the end of her gryffindor blanket. "The why haven't you spoken to me in weeks?" I asked pulling my knees to my chest, I laid my head on the top of them, but kept my attention on her. "I'm sorry Ronnie..I was just...I don't even know" she said shaking her head but keeping her gaze to the floor. "Its ok Angelina...I know you were upset about George..I just wish you knew, you could tell me anything that is bothering you" I said and placed a hand on her shoulder. She gave me a small smile before pulling me into an awkward hug. Angelina was a tough girl, who never spoke of her feelings and definitely never hugged..

"Have you seen the weasleys today? I haven't seen anyone anywhere..and Fred wasn't in class" I asked when we pulled away. She just shook her head and sighed before tossing her wand in her trunk. "I wouldn't worry too much.." She said with a small smile. And just as she said that, I saw my sisters small brown owl pecking at the window beside my bed. I let Jinxy inside and removed the letter from her leg before releasing her back into the snowy air.

Ronnie,

Arthur Weasley has been attacked..Harry and the Weasleys are with snuffles. He will be ok though, so dont worry. I know you would be looking for Fred and George. Fred told me to tell you he misses you ;-) . Remus and I are coming to get you early, we will be waiting in Dumbledores office..although by the time you get this letter I will already be there..So come quickly! I miss you !

Love, Nymph.

I silently laughed at my sisters letter, but it quickly went away as the realization that Mr.Weasley was attacked set in. Mr.Weasley was so much like my father, both hard working men that would do anything for their family..but had sense of humor that made you so comfortable. I was finished packing, I quickly grabbed my bag and my trunk and made my way out of the room.. I didn't bother wasting time saying goodbye to any of the people I saw..I just wanted to get to the weasleys as fast as I could, and to make sure everyone was ok..

Professor Mcgonagall let me into Dumbledores office the second I arrived at the statue of the giant eagle. I was so mesmerized by the intriguing trinkets laying around the room, I almost missed my sister and her bubblegum pink hair standing in front of the headmasters desk. My trunk made a loud thud as I dropped it and ran into my sisters arms. "I didn't think you would miss me" She said chuckling and stroking my hair. "Ill always miss you Nymph...you know that" I said pulling away and playing with a piece of her pink hair. "Hey squirt" Remus said and I quickly hugged him as well. "Is Mr.Weasley ok? How is Fred? And George? What about Ginny!" I exclaimed, spouting off as many questions as I could to the both of them. They both just chuckled at me.

Remus grabbed my trunk and Nymph linked her arm with mine.. "Come see for yourself" She said smiling ..And soon I felt myself being sucked threw a tube, feeling the all too familiar feeling of apperation.. I had learned how to apperate when I was thirteen, but I am underage, so I cant to it legally.

We landed right outside of Grummauld place. Immediately I took off running inside the house.. Not even two steps in and I was engulfed in a hug by the twins. "Ronnie we missed you!" George exclaimed in my left ear.. "I missed her more!" Fred said  in my right. "I missed you both..even after it only being a day" I said laughing as they let me go. Fred laced our fingers together and George turned around to talk to Ron, who I was was sitting on the stairs. I smiled at him and let Fred direct me through the house. "How is he Fred?" I asked him squeezing his hand in mine.

"He is ok now.. Thanks to Harry" He said with a small smile. He then told me about how Harry had seen His dad getting attacked at the ministry.. He alerted Dumbledore and basically saved his life. "He is resting right now..but you'll see him later" He told me as we entered the kitchen. Mrs.Weasley was of course cooking something delicious over the stove while some dishes magically cleaned themselves in the sink. Ginny and Harry were playing wizards chess at the end of the table, and Sirius was reading the Daily Prophet beside them a few chairs over.

Fred let go of my hand and kissed my cheek, "Meet me in George's and my room in five minutes" He whispered in my ear before exiting the kitchen. I blushed as his lips gently grazed my ear, sending a comforting chill down my spine. "Hello cousin" I said to Sirius as I plopped down in the chair beside him. He set his paper down before ruffling my hair. I fake scowled at him and tried to flatten it the best I could. "How have you been? you must be lonely being here all the time" I asked as he wrapped his right arm along the back of my chair.

"Oh, snuffles takes walks often" He said giving me a wink. "After this ordeal with Arthur I need to ask  favor of you, my genius cousin" He told me with a smirk. "And what might that be?" I asked him, leaning my head back against his arm. "Well I know Andromeda taught you many things..Occulmency being one of them"

I winced slightly at the mention of my mother. "And?" I said rather shortly. "Would you teach harry occulmecy? The dark lord is attacking him personally by invading his mind.." Sirius said trailing off and moving his arm, he now turned his body to face me. "Ronnie..I have never met a brighter witch than you.." He said.

"Don't tell Hermione that" Ginny said smirking as she walked past the two of us. I giggled slightly at her comment, she then rejoined Harry at their game, he was completely oblivious to mine and Sirius's conversation and was malling over a chess move.

"You mastered skills at such young ages im surprised any more schooling is even necessary for you" Sirius said laughing and shaking his head. I smiled at him and leaned my head in my arm. "Ill teach him, Sirius" I said. He gave me a side hug, and kissed the top of my head. "Thank you, I cant have anything happen to my godson" he told me. Sirius, was the only family that Harry had left...and Sirius cared so deeply for him..I would help him in any way that I could..

Five minutes quickly left and I found my self lost in a house I had been in so many times before. I must have been deep in thought because I entered a room that most certainly was not Fred and George's. But it was too late to leave..

My mother was lying on the ground.. there was a hole the size of both of my fists combined in the back of her head, and there were pools of blood lying beneath her. I knew this was just a boggart..But I couldn't move, I felt the my eyes sting as the tears threatened their way out of my dark brown eyes. My worst fear was not my mother being dead..it was myself having to witness her death again.

I looked into the lifeless eyes of my mother..The woman who taught my everything..The one who was so proud when she found out I was a witch. the strong woman who left her retched family for my muggle father.. the mother who would make me my favorite chocolate chip pancakes every Sunday, and would comfort me as a child. I felt the exact feeling resurface in my body, the same feeling I felt the day I found my mother lying dead on the ground of her bedroom. "NYMPH!" I screamed for my sister, as I couldn't take my eyes off the woman on the floor.

My sobs came uncontrollably as I felt my body fall to the floor. I knew it wasn't real, but i found myself crawling towards my mother. The blood that was supposed to be hers was once again in my hands, and I stroked her hair.. I heard a gasp and turned to see my sister with now jet black hair. She covered her mouth and started to cry. "Ronnie this isn't real" She said shaking her head. Remus soon appeared behind her, and rushed to my side. the boggart quickly changed to the moon, "RIDIKULLUS" Remus shouted and it soon was deflated. The blood was still on my hands though. And i felt like it was my birthday all over again...

"Mommy" I whimpered into the floor, just as I did that day. I felt myself scratching at the floor, and shaking my hands to rid myself of the blood. "Sweetie come one" Remus said with a hand on my shoulder. I only sobbed harder, but soon a pair of strong arms were lifting my off of the ground, and the last thing I saw was red hair and freckles before everything went to black..
