"I will now exorcise this room and rid it of all evil demons and spirits"
"Holly no! Amelia's family!"
"Honestly, fuck you" I mumbled from my bed after the door banged open as I turned my head and stared at Holly and Oscar who were coming in as she threw something at me and I sat up with a shout, completely drenched as I jumped out of bed and chased after her
"You're so dead!" I shouted at her as I pushed Oscar out of the way, sliding on the water that was all across the hall outside of my door as I skidded into the banister, toppling forward, failing to grab any part of it as I let out a scream.
Opening my eyes wearily I looked up, finding Adam above me with wide eyes as he whipped his head up to the banister before back to me before carefully setting me down as I wrapped him into a tight hug, my hands shaking behind his back as I felt my heart hammer against my chest violently
"Are you okay?"
"Fucking hell, I thought I was going to break my back"
"You're alright"
"Thank you Adam"
"Don't worry about it. I've got you"
"What the fuck was that all about?!"
"I didn't do it! It was his idea-"
"Stop lying for once in your life Holly and buck up the courage you're so oh meant to have and take the blame for your fucking actions" Oscar shot at her as I watched from the corner of my eye as she glared at him
"I thought it would be funny-"
"The thought of your sister potentially having to be sent to hospital amuses you, does it?-"
"Of course not! I'm not a psychopath like she is!-"
"Enough! Nobody in here is a psychopath! What the hell is wrong with you two lately?" Nathan asked us both as I looked at him from around Adam as he stared between us with his eyebrows raised
".... she's a Slytherin" Holly mumbled as I looked at her, meeting her eyes as she turned away quickly and Nathan let out a sigh as I turned my head away, feeling a pat to my back as I looked up at Adam as he raised his eyebrows at me and I shook my head slightly before resting my head against him again as I continued to watch Nathan shake his head ludicrously
"Really? This? Again?! Holly, different houses mean nothing now just get your act together before I go and-"
"She's a freak!" She shouted as I became still, staring at Nathan still as he turned to me silently before looking back at her as Adam stepped back, his arm going around my shoulders as I was walked in the direction of the kitchen
"Now that's extreme-"
"It's not! Didn't you see her-?!" The kitchen door getting shut behind us loudly, Holly's sentence was cut off as Adam sent me a grin before I was pushed down onto a chair while he wandered over to the freezer
"Do you want some apple pie?"
"You're at the freezer-"
"So I am. Would you like some apple pie?" He asked again after opening the fridge with a grin as I let out a laugh, shrugging as he took the tray out before two plates, coming back over a minute later as he sat down beside me
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah"
"Don't listen to Holly. She's just being a bitch-" he told me quietly as I cut him off by laughing, stabbing at my pie as I looked at him amused
"That's rude Adam"
"It's true though Nathan"
"I'm- I'm not disagreeing" he said after a pause after having walked in as he shut the door again and sat down next to Adam, picking up the pie he had been picking away at and taking a bite as Adam stared at him, smacking the backside of his head as I started laughing before passing him mine
"It's fine, I'll just keep hitting him-"
"No, I don't want it. Just take it Adam"
"Are you sure?"
"Positive-"
"Well, you won't be getting that chance again" he mumbled before taking a mouthful as I looked at him amused, propping my head on my hand as I stared outside the window and at the pool, the surface completely still
"The sun is so beautiful and bright"
"....That's a picture of Amelia smiling"
"Why are you looking at a picture of me smiling? Just look at me" I muttered as I turned away from the window and looked at the two who sat with grins
"But you're not smiling"
"Am I ever?"
"Here you are"
"Oh shut up- Wait, what picture are you even looking at?"
"The one on the fridge door" Adam said as I turned to the fridge, squinting at the picture as I looked at eight year old me, a bruise forming on the side of my head as I grinned at the camera, jumping happily in my gi with a gold medal clutched tightly in my hand
"First fight"
"First gold"
"It's still me... so, ew"
"....wow Amelia. Just... wow...."
