"I thought you said that she couldn't come visit." I hear someone say.

"She said she couldn't."

"Then why is she here?"

I hear a thump and an 'ouch!' "Does it really look like she's here because she wants to be?"

I groan a little and the talking stops. I open my eyes just a sliver and I can see Fred and George leaning over me.

"Do you mind?" I grumble.

The twins smile, George laughs a bit. "Are you alright?" The two of them help me sit up in the bed that I'm in.

"What happened?" Fred asks as he hands me a cup of water.

I take a sip and wince, "The Dark Lord... he made me, made us... torture muggles as a Christmas present. And I was good, powerful..."

George hushes me, "It's alright, you're here now."

"Made quite an entrance honestly. We were all eating our Christmas breakfast and you fell from the ceiling and landed on the dining room table." Fred says chuckling.

I groan and blink slowly, "Sure Molly loved that one."

The twins laugh, "She nearly jumped out of her skin. Then went right to work with getting you into a bed so you could rest. You cracked your left wrist when you landed but Tonks and Ginny managed to wrap it up for you." George explains.

Fred gets up from the bed, "I'll go tell everyone that you're awake. I'm sure mum would like to know."

George and I watch him leave the room. George turns back to face me. I look into his sad, scared eyes. I explain the entire thing to him, leaving out names and things and where the muggles came from. I told him how it made me feel. The power that I felt I had. Then the panic attack, the scared. I told him how Norby covered for me. How she helped me escape.

Then it hit me. Draco. I've left Draco there, flying his stupid fucking broom out in the yard. "They're going to kill me..." I whisper.

George takes my hands in his, I wince when he touches my cracked wrist and he immediately let's go, "I'll make sure they don't." He whispers.

I use my good hand to cup his face with, "You can't promise me that... I have to get back. Make sure they don't think that Draco had anything to do with it all. How long have I been here?"

The door slams open, Molly, Sirius, and Professor Lupin come running over to me. "Violet! Oh my goodness dear are you alright?" Molly puts both her hands on my face checking to see if I'm injured.

"I'm alright Molly. Thank you. I should really get going." I say. I sit up in the bed but she pushes me right back into it.

"You've only been here for half an hour, you're fine." She says sternly. "If you're feeling up to it you can come down and have something to eat."

I nod, "Yeah, alright. I'll come down."

"Violet. Let's talk." Sirius says. He's standing beside Professor Lupin looking down at me in the bed.

"I'll uh, I'll see you downstairs," George says. He kisses the knuckles on my hurt hand gently and he and Molly walk out of the room.

I sit up in bed more and swing my legs around the edge of it. Sirius sits on my left and Professor Lupin sits on my right.

"Have either of you ever had to use an unforgivable curse?" I say in a whisper.

Neither of them say anything. "I have. The imperius curse, to get my brother to stop doing something." Sirius says.
