13. Still no friends

"How are you?" I asked my brother while sitting beside him in great hall for breakfast, he was drinking his pumpkin juice

"never better" he replied with a smile

"Still not going to tell me anything??" I asked him

"You already know about yesterday night" My brother replied

"I do, but I thought at least now you will tell me everything" I said while trying to control my feelings "you were attacked yesterday, by supposedly Voldemort but you still don't feel like you should tell me"

"I thought we weren't talking" he reminded me

"So that's it, that's your reason, like you would've told me if we were talking" I hissed at him, "So it's better we don't talk" I added as not getting any response from him and I stood up and sat beside Fred and George, who were sitting across Harry, near high table.

"he feels bad about lying to you" Hermione told me, one evening, the very next day was our Defence against dark arts exam,

"whatever he still lies to me" I responded and it's better if we don't talk about my brother.

"I know he doesn't share everything with you" Hermione continued " he cares about you, he is just a bit overprotective"

"Hermione tomorrow is our exam, it's better we focus on that right now," I asserted

"just so you know, his scar is keep hurting" Hermione said and started reading her notes.

After our history of magic's exam, Hermione sort of disappeared, I didn't see her until she came in common room after dinner,

"Where were you" I asked

"just with your brother and Ron" Hermione responded,

"okay," I replied, then I started talking about exam to her, earlier this morning after exam she was full of it, it felt like Hermione was nervous around me at that time, now Hermione not taking interest in exams meant something bad happened.

I didn't ask her anything I just after sometime told her I'm going to bed, then she left.

When Lavender and Parvati came to dorm, Hermione came with them so I just pretended to be asleep,

Around midnight, I heard someone getting out of her bed, when I looked around it was Hermione, So I just followed her downstairs, where Neville was already downstairs, then something unexpected happened Hermione hexed Neville, a full body-bind charm, Neville just fell flat on his face.

I just went downstairs and Hissed "what you thought you three are upto"

The moment Harry looked at me he accused Hermione "you told me she was asleep"

"she was- at least her body looked like" Hermione swore

"now, where you think you are going?" I asked them,

"I'm sorry" said Hermione " Petrificus Totalus"

In instant my whole body froze and it all felt rigid, I saw Harry looking at me with apologetic eyes but in that very moment I hated him, for leaving me and Neville like that on floor that night.

I was in my bed, I must have fainted after some time because of the hex, but only thing I wanted right now to punch my brother, So I just stood up, ran downstairs there I stumbled into Percy weasley, "where is my brother??" I asked him

"he is fine but right now in Hospital wing, still unconscious perhaps," he said

My all anger vanished suddenly and I asked him just one thing what happened last night,

He didn't know much, he Just told me about finding me and Neville last night around three in the morning on common room floor hexed, I thanked him for that helping me, and ran towards Hospital wing.

I asked Madam Pomfrey, "where's my brother?"

"he is still unconscious dear," she answered "he is right on second bed on left,-

I just walked hurriedly and saw him, Some scratches on his forehead and bandaged hand, beside his bed was Ron, who looked like sleeping but to my relief Hermione just woke up the moment I looked at her bed beside Ron, so I hurriedly went near her and said one thing "what really happened yesterday night??"

"I'm sorry about hexing you- it's just-

"just tell me what happened" I repeated Hermione then told me everything about how they came to know, how to silent fluffy and how Hagrid accidentally revealed that information to a stranger, how he ended up with a dragon egg too, Actually the stranger showed interest in creatures and asked him if he wanted to pet a dragon for seeing, how competent Hagrid was with creatures he asked him about his previous creatures in which Hagrid mistakenly revealed information about fluffy that just to make him sleep, play some music, then Harry thought it was Snape, who was after stone so they needed to alert someone but professor Dumbledore wasn't in castle, So they themselves took the responsibility of protecting the stone and went through the trapdoor at midnight after knocking me and Neville down, their second hurdle was Devil's Snare and third Finding a key from hundred of flying keys, fourth playing a real chess game in which Ron sacrificed himself so Harry and Hermione can move forward, then there was troll which was already defeated, after that was a potion riddle, from which only one of them can move forward, after that Hermione doesn't know much on harry knows what really happened.

I was sitting beside my brother, holding his hand, he was still unconscious it has been two days since everything happened. So many people have sent Chocolates and cards of get well soon, suddenly I felt like someone was looking at me, so I turned around, it was Professor Dumbledore, who smiled at me, He must have come when I was too busy thinking about Harry, when I looked back at Harry, his grip my hand tightened and gradually he opened his eyes, the moment he tried to sit, I pulled him and Hugged him tight, just whispered in his ear "please stop doing this all stupidity" , he said "yes" then I let him go I had this big smile on my face, but it was just because he was safe, he was smiling too, but I just still didn't forgave him for whatever he did. So I just left.

Really what happened in trapdoor, after Harry entered last room he met Professor Quirrel, Yeah, the turban-stuttering-man was the bad guy, actually he was possessed by voldemort, he was trying to steal the Philospher's stone as it was hidden in Mirror of Erised, and only the one who doesn't want to use it, can find it, as my brother was there Quirrel used him, my brother got the stone but Harry's touch was lethal to him, actually that's what stopped voldemort and killed Quirrel. Harry tried talking to me but I didn't, I stopped talking to Hermione too. she told me she just did it because otherwise Harry would've gone alone or it would really have put me in danger, so I just told her you are becoming my older overprotective sister and I already got one overprotective brother So sorry I don't want one more.

in end of year feast Gryffindor won the house cup, first Slytherin won but then Harry, Ron and Hermione putting thier life in danger gained us some points and Neville and I trying to stop them, nailed our victory.

I was unhappy that I ws going back to Dursleys, but I was feeling miserable over that I still don't have friends.
