Need a reason to live again
Chapter 1
I have nothing against Mother Nature, Jack Frost, Santa or even the Easter bunny, but God is an evil son of a bitch.
I have... sorry, HAD a family. Like normal people I had, a mum, a dad, an older brother and my two sisters, we were triplets, and finally there was my newest little brother. Just after the summer started... every one of them died except for me and my little brother Jamie. For most of the summer it was just me and Jamie, until the funeral. Only us and the reverend turned up. I arranged for a muggle funeral because I thought it would be nicer as my father was a muggle. After the service, we read their wills, everything was left to me. The muggle police look Jamie and put him into a foster home because I was only fifteen. For the rest of the summer I was trying to get custody of Jamie. About a week before I was due to return to school, a letter came for me about Jamie. He wouldn't stop crying so his carer shook him... he died. He was less than a month old. There was no funeral. I was all alone with no more reason to live.
I'm in my seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry. I'm a Gryffindor but not many people know me, I sort of melt into the background most of the time, always have.
At the platform I stood against the rear wall thinking as I watched a family of red heads exchange a warm goodbye, how I envied them. On the train I sat alone staring out the window, my eyes brimming with tears. If anyone came in, I didn't notice. We reached Hogwarts and got into the great hall, it all passed by in a blur.
I noticed everyone staring at me oddly so I looked down to see what they were looking at. I realised I wasn't wearing my uniform. I must have forgotten in all my musing. I swore under my breath and got up to leave but at the same moment Dumbledore rose from his seat so I reluctantly returned to my seat.
There were two red heads sitting opposite me with a look on their faces I didn't quite recognise. I couldn't look at them for very long because they were identical, down to the last freckle. My sisters were identical as well.
My sisters both had short black hair sticking out in every angle with tanned faces and green eyes. Overall they were pretty in an odd, different kind of way. And me being a Metamorphmagus, I opted to look just like them. After the accident I changed that. Now I have deep red hair that's layered and goes just below my shoulder blades, a very pale complexion and dark blue eyes. I for one thought that I looked a lot like I did before but no one's recognised me yet which I think is a good thing. I guess it's understandable as only the teachers knew of my abilities.
A short woman who was introduced as Professor Umbridge started speaking. I raised an eyebrow at her completely over the top pink ensemble. After hearing her voice for less than thirty seconds I blanked her out, opting instead to pull out my hip flask from my long leather coat and take a few much needed gulps.
Those twins were looking at me again this time as if to say 'what's in there?', I shrugged my shoulders and put it away. The last thing needed was for someone to figure out my secret before the year even begun.
When the ugly frog had finished talking we were all dismissed. As i began my slow trek out of the hall i heard a small "uh hmm" from behind me, i turned around to see what on earth was there. it was the frog princess herself."excuse me miss..."
"Umbridge, your name is Umbridge, don't tell me you forgot your own name" when i replied she seemed to get rather angry, i felt the urge to punch her in the face but had not drank nearly enough to give into such demand. Behind her i could see several students open mouthed or trying to prevent laughter. "If you'll excuse me professor i have some business to attend to." with that i left the hall and started towards gryffindor tower.
"Oi! wait up!" I heard somone calling. I turned just in time to have the two red heads from lunch run into me, causing all three of us to fall in a heap on the floor.
I couldn't breath so i said as loud as i could in my breathless state "FRED, GEORGE! GET THE HELL OFF ME!". To say they looked shocked as they both climbed off me would be an under statement.
"How the bloody hell do you know who we are?".
I gave him a quizzical look and replied "What are you going on about George? I've known you both since first year!" And then it dawned on them.
"EVY!" They shouted in unison as they hauled me off the ground and pulled me into a group hug.
" You look like a whole different person, what happened?" fred questioned.
" Well freddy, you tend to be able to change your appearance if your a Metamorphmagus" they both looked stunned, but all to soon those mischievous smiles crept onto there faces.
Please review so i know that at least 1 person wants to read this. i may continue anyway because I've planned this one out a bit and like where its going.
