~~~~~~~~~~~~

the news was often a regular dreaded thing for me. whether it was publishing my family scandal story and how much of a disgrace I was, or whether it was actually reporting the shit it needed to. today it was both. I held the animated pages in my shaking hands. the headline read;  

𝑭𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝒖𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒂 𝑷𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏 𝑷𝒐𝒙

my eyes burned with tears. this couldn't be true. I was still in shock when the door burst open and a frenzied panicked James stood in the doorway. he had tears streaming down his face, which was red and puffy. My knees gave out and I deadweight fell to the floor. he barely caught my head before it smashed on the stone floor. I let out a shaking sob as James pulled me close to his chest. he silently cried as I wrapped my frail arms around his rather large frame. I buried my head into his shoulder trying to suppress my feelings. why do I even care so much? they hated me! fucking disowned me! 

no. they were still my parents and no matter what I tell myself I love them and always have. So I let myself go, tears streaming freely down my face as I hugged my brother like a lifeline, both of us crumpled on the ground. he went to pulls away but I pulled him back in, gripping him even tighter. My voice was hoarse as I spoke between sobs,

"don't you fucking dare" I could feel him smile a little and rest his head on my shoulder,

"James? I-I know this is going to sound childish but... can you sing to me... like you used to?" I could feel his smile widen as he nodded,

"of course" he pulled me so my head was resting in his lap, I could tell he was taking the time to examine my rugged appearance, I just closed my eyes. He began to sing the song that he used to sing for me as a child (at the top) 

"True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
Willow dancing on air before covering me
Under cotton and calicos
Over canopy dapple long ago" I let out a happy sigh and snuggled into my brother's side. he continued to sing and began to trace shapes on my arm, something he's always done to calm my anxiety. 

"True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Must be felled for to get cold
I fretted fire but that was long ago" His voice was so soothing, it had been so long since I'd heard him sing, I had forgotten how good it was. I began to drift off for the first time in weeks. 

"And it's not tonight 

Where I'm set alight 
And I blink in sight 
Of your blinding light 
Oh, it's not tonight 
While you hold me tight 
Light it fire bright 
Oh, let it blaze alright 
Oh, but you're good to me
Oh, you're good to me
Oh, but you're good to me, baby" My eyelids were heavy and drooping, it was hard to keep them open especially with my lack of sleep before I nodded off I whispered to my messy-haired, smiling brother, 

"I love you, James" His smiled widened and I let my eyes close, as soon as I had, sleep took me as its own. 

~~~~~~the next day~~~~~~

I walked through the halls flanked on either side by Sirius and Remus on my left and James on my right. I held my head high, I had to make an impression. that I was fine. strong. healthy. independent. today way the day James, Sirius and I were requested to look over what was left to us in the will of our parents. I was surprised that I had even been on it at all. but apparently I was. let's just hope their wrath isn't as bad as I'm expecting. I took a deep breath and linked arms with Sirius and James. James smiles,

"It'll be fine Y/n" I nodded unable to speak

I walked mostly being dragged by both James and Sirius. we entered the room to see only Dumbledore sat in front of us, looking like his usual annoyingly ominous self. 

"Please, sit" he motioned towards three chairs placed on the other side of his desk. I hesitantly took a seat on the very edge of the middle chair. my leg began to bounce at a rapid pace my heel tapping on the floor 

"I hope you three know that I am deeply sorry for your loss and I give you my sincerest apologies" my anxiety had doubled in the mere time he spoke, "and well, I am here to inform you that you were each left items in their will"I took a sharp inhale and tensed here it was. 

"James, you have been left the invisibility cloak, passed down through the potter family for generations along with half of their fortune. although I believe you already possess the first object correct?" James smirked a little,

"I uh, yes?" Sirius snickered at his awkward stupidity and Dumbledor chuckled. 

"next, to Mr. Sirius Black" Sirius winced at the mention of his last name... so did I "we give the other half of our fortune" James and Sirius smiled and I frowned. 

"Lastly, we leave our daughter Y/n the potter mansion" I looked up in shock 

"w-what did you say?" Dumbledore smiled at me 

"you are now the owner of the potter mansion" 

"b-but that doesn't make sense t-that's worth more than both of there inheritance combined! I-I'm not supposed to get this!" I shook my head, my eyes began to burn,

"I-I was s-so rude to them, w-why" I couldn't talk for now I was fully sobbing. James pulled me into a hug,

"Hey, hey, its alright" he whispers sweet nothings into my ear as I sobbed into his chest. 

I was a monster.
