Hello, it's holidays over here so I have more time to put chapters up. This chapter is rather sad, so get out your tissues. Thanks to Rockena6 for reviewing everytime I get a new chapter up. I wa acctually crying when I wrote this.
Diclaimer: I forgot to put this on the last few chapters but it is on the first couple of them, I don't own anyone for Harry Potter, I just own Zena, Niran and Luca among the other randoms (qudditch team and Sage) Jk Rowling owns most of this!
Chapter Six: She Saw Some Flowers
"Zena, why did you never tell me about your twin?" Niran asked quietly.
"I've never said anything about her... because I watched her die." I whispered, I paused for a moment. "We were eleven and we had got our Hogwarts letters that day. After school she saw some flowers across the road and she wanted to pick them. We looked to see if any cars were coming, we couldn't see any, so she crossed but then a... a car came out of nowhere and it... well it hit her." I burst into tears.
"Zena, why didn't you ever mention her? You obviously needed to talk about it?" Niran questioned in a quiet voice.
"Didn't you ever wonder why I was always working so hard, and training so hard? And whenever someone mentioned death or dying I shut down or left the conversation? When I was put in Gryffindor the sorting hat whispered something into my ear. It said that I was brave because even though my twin had died I had decided to come anyway, What the hat didn't know was I came because it was an escape from the world where Mia had existed. I worked harder than anyone else because I thought I would be able to bring her back with magic." I looked up at them, tears streaming down my face. Niran had tears in her eyes, Luca had gone white but Potter just hugged me tightly. I was too upset to complain.
"You can keep talking if you need to, Zena, we'll listen until you're finished." He murmured in my ear.
I took a deep breath and continued "When I was told that even magic couldn't bring someone back to life, I kept working hard so I could learn for her as well as me. I tried hard at everything to see if it would help me forget, but it didn't. That Christmas I went home and spent so much time in our room, we had always shared, nothing could separate us. Then one day I woke up and started to sort her stuff into piles, my parents wanted me to do it, they thought it would help me realise she wasn't coming back. I kept all her things but some ended up in the basement." I stopped out of breath.
There was a long silence and then Potter said "Zena, I'm sorry I ever teased you for working hard or being a straight O student or for not having a social life or for being stuck up and-"
"James, I forgive you." I said through my tears.
"Zena, I'm sorry too, I'm sorry I didn't notice something was bugging and I didn't ask if anything was wrong." Niran whispered.
Before I could say anything to her, Luca started. "Zena, I apologise for all the things I've ever done to upset you and that I never stopped James teasing you."
"I forgive all of you, but I'm the one who should be sorry. I never said anything and now I gone and unloaded years of sadness and silence on you in the space of ten minutes." I wept. All I could see was my friends and how caring they looked. Later in my life, I would remember that moment as the one I became friends with James Sirius Potter. After a while we all stopped crying and started planning our revenge on Sage.
A/N: SO what did you think? Please review!
