Gone

I have a picture of my sister, Rose, and I, wearing matching white hoodies, my sister hugging me. I remember that afternoon before the fire when mum had just taken us to Enchanted Sky. My brothers, Blake and Alexander, had gone shopping with my dad in Diagon Alley. It was Blake's first year and Alex's second. Mum had already taken Rose to buy her things since this was also going to be her first year. It was the kind of day that feels like nothing bad could happen, that only good things could happen. But I've learned to never let down my guard, to never do what I did on that night. Because sometimes, in a blink of an eye, what you most cherish could be gone forever. (A work in progress. I write every Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy and please follow me!!!)

Rose

Chapter 1

My parents split up when I was 8. My parents never spoke of it, but I knew the reason why. My 11-year-old sister, Rose, died in a fire, and my father blamed it all on my mum. Rose was a bad luck name in my family. My grandmother, Rose Simon, died right after she had my mom and my aunt (who are twins), my cousin Rose Collins died of cancer when she was 10, and my sister died in a fire when she was 11. I have a clear memory of her, with her long black-brown hair and hazel eyes. She had a lot of friends and wore ripped jeans and exposing tops, the trends that muggles had brought into our world. She was always the light when darkness spread over our family, making us smile and getting our spirits up. I heard that there are ghosts in Hogwarts. I know there are ghosts in Hogwarts. And this year, when I go to Hogwarts, I'm going to find Rose.
