Please, just don't get hurt. --TBD

It was just before my younger brother was going to be heading to Hogwarts. I had of course tried to be a jerk and scare him. Although, seeing some of our family and getting discouraged, " Well, Charlie...you can go into one of four houses like you know. Sedona and me are in Hufflepuff and everyone is in Gryffindor mostly. You would have someone to talk to in all of them really. " I said with a shrug. " Don't worry about it."

I nodded to my sister, " Yeah, one of the four houses...." I had repeated back to her. I hadn't really told anyone except grandpa about being scared about going into Slytherin. Would that mean that I am a bad person? I had things all packed up and it was almost time for us to get going to the train station. " Ally, no matter what house I'm in you'll still talk to me right?"

I turned back to my little brother, " Of course I will talk to you..no matter what house you end up in...even Slytherin. Your my brother goofy..." I told him as I tossed a hat towards him. " You'll want something to wear when you don't have class. " I told him knowing he loved that hat. It was one he got from Grandpa Remus. " You know he is there too, if you need to talk." I told him, it was nice knowing Remus was someone you can talk too. Made things so much easier for a lot of people.

Smiling, " Thanks Ally..." I said as I doubled over my things as I was over thinking like she said. " I just don't want to end up in Slytherin....I have heard bad things...and well, I know we have relatives in Slytherin...I just don't want to have to be a middle man already being picked on because of the house I am put in. Y'know..I mean, I won't let anyone get picked on or anything like that." I told her as I sat down on my bed. " I just can't wait to go exploring....Dad's told me so much about it...Grandpa has too. He was a Marauder for crying out loud. So, I have to live up to the family name...well, sort of...not like I have problems with causing trouble." I grinned as I got a look from her.

I smiled, " If you end up in Slytherin, which I don't think will happen by the way...." I informed him as I thought it was better to continue on than let him dwell on what he had running through his head.

I nodded as my brother spoke, " You've got that right....you have no problem with that...." I agreed, when my brother wanted to be a jerk he could be. " Charlie....you don't have to live up to anyone....just make you....you don't have to live up to anything....I know it's hard....but it will eventually go nicely. It won't be so stressful." I explained.
