"We've got to, um, run. I don't know where yet... but we can't stay here. Can you, um, can you help me gather everyone? Oh and owl... Harry and Hermione too!"

My brain was running rampant trying to clear itself of the horrifying screams branded to its walls.

"What about Fred? We can't just leave him here! He's family too!" Ginny insisted.

I bit back another sob as I formulated a reply that wouldn't leave her dripping with tears.

How could I tell my only sister that her brother was now a mindless being trapped in what used to be our sanctuary?

How could I tell my only sister that we couldn't ever come back to our home or to a civilization because people we used to know and love were now out for our blood?

How could I tell my only sister that I had just given up on saving my only twin?

I couldn't.

"Just trust me. I promise I'll tell you everything, when we're safe."

That was all that I could come up with in the heat of the moment. Her eyes displayed skepticism but she nodded nonetheless, grabbing me in a hug.

"Thank you." I muttered into her shoulder.

She was always there for me when I felt alone, though I would never admit it.

We dashed down the stairs together, clutching onto each other's hands.

Ginny began yelling for the family and I began grabbing anything I thought we might need for a future without Fred.
