High above the clouds, I've watched her cry. I've seen her die every time she remembers me. I've always wished that I could kill myself because I brought her such despair… But then again, I remembered. I WAS ALREADY DEAD. And that's why part of her also died.
As my thoughts wandered to her, I remembered the first day that we met. A smile planted itself across my face, as it reminded me of the moment that I wanted to relive and erase. The day that I met the girl that was to be my life, and she met the guy that will cause her despair that will equal death. Crap, I wish I wasn't that guy. Even though I'm already dead, it killed me to see her sad.
CHAPTER 1: The Train Ride
I was forced to get up from bed one early morning by my mother, who was trying to cook breakfast, pack four Hogwarts trunks and wake up three heavy sleepers at the same time. I didn't want to wake up, but when I've heard the note in that voice that was so familiar, I knew I had to.
"Frederick Gideon Weasley! Don't make me wake you up for another time, I KNOW you're already awake! Come on now, it's your first day of school for Merlin's sake!"
I had to force myself out of bed as she proceeded to wake up the guy who slept in the bed next to mine, and looked exactly like me. My beloved twin and partner in crime, George Fabian Weasley. He was really harder to wake up actually. My mother had to Confringo a part of his bed to wake him up. But finally he managed to scrounge out of bed.
The morning went as it always was every September 1st, the day we always had to go back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to start another exciting year. Well, we weren't the first ones to attend, because my brothers Charlie and Bill just left, and Percy the Prefect is already on his fifth year. Today will be the start of our third year. My youngest brother Ron will start his first year too. Our little sister, Ginny, will start next year. In fact, she's so excited that she won't shut up about it for months.
We finally managed to get to King's Cross on time, and there's this kid who went with Ron through the barrier. Seeing that he needed help with bringing his luggage on the compartment, George and I lent a hand. Then, we discovered that he's just Harry. Harry friggin' Potter. The Boy Who Lived. I was excited beyond wits as I dragged our friend Lee Jordan to see him too. When we got back to the compartment, I saw Ron talking to him. A girl was also there, with her back turned. She's already in her Hogwarts robes. "Oh here's a little Percy", I thought. Percy was so excited and wore his very early too.
"Have you seen a toad? My friend here has lost one. Well, if you do, just inform us. I'm Hermione Granger by the way." I heard the girl speak.
Then, without warning, she turned.
BAM! I never knew what hit me, but I felt like my head was struck by a bludger. It's just that, when I saw that face, I felt like everything else in the world disappeared, and it was just the two of us. How long I've stared, I don't know. It just occurred to me that I must look like a total idiot when somebody whacked me in the head. This time it was George.
"What's happening to you Freddie? Is anything wrong?"
Well, nothing is really wrong. I feel that everything's right. Hermione. So that's her name. I was about to introduce myself when she immediately spoke.
"Well, if you're just going to stand there with your mouth open, will you excuse me? I've a toad to find." With that, she left the compartment.
"I guess you'll give anything to be that toad she's looking for, don't you? Man, you looked really smitten by the witch." Lee finally spoke.
"Don't call her witch. You make her sound bad. She's Hermione Granger, didn't you hear?" I heard myself snap at him.
"Oh whatever. Who was it you wanted to show us?"
I suddenly remembered what we're there for. "Harry Potter".
