Family
It's hard having six older brothers. To be the only girl in such a large family was never easy for me, and being the youngest made it even harder. I always longed to be an only child, but now that I am older, I understand the importance of family. Especially now one of them isn't here anymore. It's hard to realise Fred will never again tease me, will never be there to protect me like he has done since I was born. It's hard to know that he'll never laugh at a stupid joke or prank again.
Growing up, I would whinge and whine about him and my other brothers, always being in my way, always taking up mums attention when I wanted it, for anything and everything. I would take it all back in a heartbeat now, if it meant Fred would be okay. I would give up anything for him, and I know my brothers, my parents, Harry and Hermione, would all do the same.
The importance of family has never been clearer to me than it is now, and I wish I had realised it in time to tell Fred that I loved him. I'll never take my family for granted again, and I will spend the rest of my life making sure that they all know just how important they are to me. Making sure they all know I love them. I wouldn't change my family for the world, except, to make it whole again.
