Don't own
It's depressing
Super fast paced
Cold Siri baby
Lames
Ambitious Alex
I'm sorry
Mothers die
Ever growing pile of problems
Revenge
Suppressed feelings

I take a deep breath of air, bracing myself for more. The Marauders thought it would be fun to dunk me into the lake 50 times. Why, you ask? Well, no reason, because why would they have to have a reason to bully someone? So here I am being dunked into the lake 50 times (I'm up to 48). Did I mention that I hate water? And by hate, I don't mean hating the feeling of it on me; I mean that I hate water. The fact that it can drown you, boil you, or choke you to death is not reassuring.

"49. Your shaking. Why are you shaking? Because you're a coward, that's why, Alexandra!" Sirius Orion Black's voice drifted from where he was crouched at the end of the lake.

"How am I the coward? You're the one who had to take my wand; anyone who actually had a backbone would out up a fair fight!" I screeched back. "But of course that's not in your nature; cowardice is! You aren't even using your own brains; it's Remus's spell, isn't it? I wonder what your mother would think of you, James."

For that, I was shoved under again.

The water was rough and turbulent, dragging me down with force. I tried to resist, flailing my arms and kicking my legs, but I couldn't fight it. Fear gripped me as I struggled for air, but all I could inhale was water. I felt herself sinking deeper and deeper, the frigid water enveloping me. My lungs burned as scenes of my sister's death flashed before my eyes.

She attempted to scream, but the water filled her mouth and throat, making it impossible. Her movements became slow and lethargic, and she was unable to think clearly. All she wanted was to breathe again and feel the sun on her face. However, the water held her captive, refusing to release her.

For a moment, she saw the faint outline of the sky above her, but it felt unattainable. She fought with all her strength to reach it, but it was no use. Darkness closed in around her vision, and she knew her time was running out.

In a last, desperate attempt to save herself, she kicked her legs with all her might and broke the surface, gasping for air. But the water dragged her back down, and she realized there was no escaping it.

As the darkness consumed her, she thought of all the things she had yet to say and do. Regret filled her as she wished she could go back in time. But it was too late. The water had claimed her, and she descended into the endless silence of the deep.

As my (magic) twin, we could share some thoughts when feeling strong emotions. Knowing that this was how she died, I had lived with a fear of deep water. She had died when she was only thirteen; she died, and I lived on. Do not pity me. Or you will find yourself with only one eyebrow in the morning.

My head broke the water, and I was gasping for air. That was longer than the rest. I swam to the surface as quickly as I could, picking up my wand and silently thanking Lily Evans for the towel that she let me use. Oh right, Lily's my friend, best friend, and sister. I can't think of any more names for a friend...

... but yeah

Me and Lily had befriended over love for books and hatred of the Marauders except Remus. We had also shared a dorm with Marlene McKinnon, Alice Fortescue, and Sasha Monnet. Then, with all our roommates, we became best friends and are inseparable. While the Marauders pranks were open and obvious to know who did them, ours were much more stealthy, but we made sure to put our symbol on them; it was a black crest saying with dragon wigs jutting out at the sides and two devil horns on the top. On top of the devil's horns is a halo: 'Of course I'm an angel; the horns are just there to hold up the halo!'. I thought of that, by the way.

"Those idiots are bullying you! You should tell the professors!" Lily said she tries, but sometimes she acts as if the solution to every problem on earth could be solved by telling the professor.

'Sir, global warming exists!' What is your sir going to do about it? Other than covering glaciers with glass, Wait, that's a good idea.

I roll my eyes and say,

"That is not the style of the clan, Lils, and you know it. But... revenge is."
