Screaming

Bronwen's POV

'I'm sorry, I sort of let slip that you were crying in your room, but I didn't say why!' Ginny said quickly. I groaned. Brilliant. Just freaking brilliant. 'He was just making me so mad! He was being a first-class git!' Ginny said sadly. Then she realised Harry was there and went bright red. She ran out. That was the last time I saw her until after... The Chamber.

I had come out. I wasn't mad at Fred, and he knew that, though persistently tried to find out why I was crying. I shook my head and rolled my eyes. 'JUST STOP ASKING!' I hissed. This was a little bit after Hermione was petrified. Ron and Harry were lost without her. I comforted them, but they looked so sad.

Then. Ginny was taken. I remember being told by Ron and screaming. Ron had run out immediately to find Harry. They were going after her. This made me scream even louder and I just kept screaming. Then Fred and George came down. Fred pulled me into his chest and I continued to scream.

'BROWNIE! BROWNIE WHAT'S WRONG!'

'GINNY!' I screamed. 'SHE'S BEEN TAKEN TO THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS! WITH THE BASILISK!' Ron had told me what the monster had been. A Basilisk. Fred and George gasped. 'AND HARRY AND RON HAVE GONE AFTER HER!' I screamed. 'WHAT IF THEY ALL DIE! I WON'T BE ABLE TO DO IT! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THEM! AND DUMBLEDORE'S GONE! WHAT DO WE DO!' I screamed, but I was now in tears. Fred clutched me closer to him.

'I don't know, Brownie, I don't know...' And that was that.

She was OK! So was Harry! Tom Riddle had taken her over! That git! Then I realised.

'I'll ask Tom!'

I groaned. She had mentioned him to me in the passing. I should have asked what happened. I felt so stupid. I was so angry at myself. We may have been able to avoid this if I had questioned her. Fred looked at me. We were sitting on the sofa, getting ready to go home. When Ginny and Harry had come out, I hugged them both. 'Thank you.' I said to Harry. I loved Harry, just like I loved Ginny, I didn't want either getting hurt. No way. I hugged Ron afterwards and he smiled.

'Just doing our duty, ma'am!' I smiled.

'Well, thank you, Officer Weasley, you have saved an innocent girl from a terrible fate!' I beamed. He smiled back at me and we laughed. I was so happy. I went home for the holidays and was obviously bored. The Weasley's were on holiday. I did get to talk to Harry though. I rang him. I, being a Muggleborn, knew how to talk on a phone, and didn't tell his uncle who I was. I just said that I was a friend. He asked how. I said I had been at his old school before he had disappeared. He had let Harry answer the phone, muttering about Harry finally meeting some normal people. So I got to talk to him. And we spoke about everything. Even some random person called Sirius Black. He was a murderer. We just didn't know how relevant he'd become in this coming year... And how happy I'd be at the end...


Please review! I'm actually feeling quite happy, as I seem to be getting at least one review a day! How fuawesome is that! (Thanks for the word, Rayne...)
