Chapter One

George Weasley and his twin Fred were walking down the stairs of the boy's dormitory in Gryffindor tower when they saw Hermione Granger reprimanding Adira Potter and Ron Weasley on the big red couch. George grinned at Fred and they sauntered over to the couch, George sitting next to Adira and Fred sitting next to Ron. Hermione stopped and sighed when they realized the two pranksters were there.

"So what have you two done wrong this time?" Fred asked.

"Yes, enlighten us. Why would our dear Hermione be lecturing you?"

"Someone," Hermione looked at Adira who looked slightly ashamed, "convinced Ronald to see if the Whomping Willow was still working from last year. I got to these two just in time."

"I thought it was funny." Ron said.

"You could have been seriously hurt! And what would you say to Madam Pomfrey?"

"Wait, Adira, you got Ron to try and touch the Whomping Willow?" Fred asked in surprise.

"Climb, actually." Ron said and the twins looked at the still silent girl in shock. She was looking down and didn't notice. George draped his arm over her shoulders with a grin and she blushed.

"You should hang out with us more, Adira. We can teach you so much." Adira blushed harder but Hermione looked upset.

"Oh no, Adira will get in too much trouble and-" Adira cut her off.

"Hermione, you can't tell me what to do." She said quietly.

"Yes I can. I'm looking out for you."

"I don't need anyone looking out for me. I'm fine on my own." She frowned. For some reason, she was feeling mad. "I've been doing it for 10 years before Hogwarts."

"But now you don't have to. You got us!"

Adira stood with a sigh. "I need to clear my head." She then left through the portrait hole.

"What's wrong with her?" Ron asked.

Fred and George thought before Fred got it.

"Today's October 30th, right?" The nodded. "Tomorrow's Halloween." Ron and surprisingly Hermione were confused. "The Potters were killed on Halloween."

"Oh." Ron frowned. "But she was never like this before."

"She's a teenager now, she probably feels like she needs her mum and dad, or at least her mum. She's old enough now to see how much parents are needed in her life." Hermione sighed. "I never really though how much this would affect her. I can't even picture life without my parents."

"Mum can get bossy but I can't either." George said and the other two Weasleys nodded just as their little sister sprinted in. "Ginny, what's wrong?"

"You need to come quick. It's Adira!" She then ran out and they followed. She ran into the nearby girl's bathroom and Hermione had to yank the boys in. Hermione gasped when they spotted where Ginny was. Adira was passed out on the stone floor, a razor blade near her hand and her wrists slit. "I heard the thud of her falling when I was walking past and came in here."

George conjured two towels and tightened them around both Adira's wrists, telling Ron its to at least slow the flow of blood, before picking her up bridal style and going as fast as he could down the many stairs and to the hospital wing. Hermione reached it first and ran in, getting Madam Pomfrey just as George entered.

"Oh my, what happened?"

"Ginny found her in the bathroom with her wrists cut. I conjured something to try and slow down the bleeding."

"I need to get her to St. Mungos, It's not in my ability to handle these things." She took Adira with surprising strength. "I will get you all when I know if she is stable."

Madam Pomfrey then disappeared with a Portkey that she always wore as a ring. The five sat on the beds and waited, all nervous wrecks. Even Fred and George had nothing fun to say.

"We're losing her!" A healer called and five others entered. With these kind of situations, they used muggle means so Healer Fenway was using a defibrillator. "C'mon Adira, stay with us."

After a few more shocks the heart monitor started up again and they all breathed a sigh of relief though Adira was still asleep. They told Madam Pomfrey she was stable and whoever wrapped her wrists pretty much saved her life. The matron thanked the healer before going back to Hogwarts. She wasn't surprised to see the five Gryffindors waiting there. They broke out of their sleepiness when she appeared.

"She's fine, she's stable." Madam Pomfrey said tiredly and they all nodded in evident relief. "And Mr. Weasley," The three male Weasleys looked over and she sighed, "George. The healer says you saved her life with tying her wrists. She would have bled out before they could help if not for you."

George just nodded, looking the worst of them all. "When is she coming back?"

"In a few days. She lost a lot of blood and is very weak even with the blood replenishing potion."

"Okay." He said and everyone else sighed before they left to rest. Everyone they passed wondered why the five looked like someone had died.

Adira was still very weak, even when she was being discharged, so Healer Fenway was requiring her to walk with crutches. When asked about the stairs, the healer told her to use only one and hold onto the railing with her other hand. Adira had thick bandages wrapped around her wrist and she was told that they would be there for a while, at least until she was fully healed.

When Adira was Portkeyed back to Hogwarts, she was given the crutches and shown how to use them before heading to the great hall for lunch which had just started. She sighed as she entered and every eye fell on her. Surprisingly, she didn't sit with her friends. She sat at the very end of the table and grabbed some food. They all looked at each other in confusion. When entering the common room, they spotted Adira, but when she saw them, she started to get up and leave. Hermione stood in her way.

"Adira, what's wrong?" She asked gently.

"Nothing." Her voice was flat and she tried to go around but Hermione blocked her again. The bushy haired girl was shocked when Adira glared at her.

"Adira." Ron went next to Hermione. "Why are you avoiding us?"

She was silent for a second before speaking softly. "Why did you take me to the hospital wing?"

"Because you were passed out! You had lost a lot of blood and would have died."

She stared at them before saying something shocking. "Maybe that's what I wanted." Fred, George, and Ginny came up to her. "Maybe I wanted to die. I didn't want to be found, not at all. It was my fault for even making a sound, I guess."

"But, why?" Ginny whispered.

"Do you know what it's like, not to get a hug from a parent every day? Not to have a good meal from someone who loves you? To be forced to celebrate a day that you lost everything because of some mad man? No, you wouldn't. You have loving families while I have nothing but hurt." She sighed. "I could finally be with them, finally meet them in a way that I could remember. I could finally have my family back. So thanks, for ruining that."

Adira then turned around and went back out the portrait hole, disappearing from sight.
