You may not think I'm here, but I'm always here!

Sophia was sitting up in a tree by the lake in Hogsmeade just enjoying the fresh air and the warmess of the weahter they were having. But here was the thing, no one could tell that it was Sophia for she was weaaring a black cloak with her hood up. Sophia was here for two reasons, one just to get out and about and two to see if her sister Nikki was here in Hogsmeade. Looking down the road every now and then to see if she seen or heard her sister she sighed and looked back at the lake. Sophia had a feeling it wouldn't be long before she saw her sister.

Sophia was sure that her sister wouldn't spot her up in the tree or even know it was her up here anways. Sophia plan was to jump out of the tree in front of Nikki right when she reached the spot that Sophia was hiding in. But little did she know her sister been doing horrible things to herself that will make her furious. Sophia was in for a big surprise ahead of her. Sophia was wearing black jeans with little tores in them with a black under shirt with a sliver quarter shirt over it with high heels. Her hair was down and curly and she had on silver earrings and siler eyeshadow with a necklace and her black claok hiding her face.

Sophia's look

Nikki walked in the streets of Hogsmeade, looking down at the ground mostly as she walked and smoked a cigarette. Her hair was just out of control almost, but straight. She wore black sunglasses, a white singlet with a black poncho over it and really short black shorts and black thongs as well as lots of jewelery on her fingers, wrist but no necklace. She wasn't really paying attention where she was going, and tried to avoid the eyes of students, watching just really commit suicide very slowly basically. Nikki stopped at a tree, leaned against it, and exhaled a whole lot of smoke and coughed a little bit. Shew knew this was a bad habit, but it was her way of coping with loss, apparently. She wished Daniel was here...he was sort of his smoking partner.

Spoiler:

Sophia seen her sister coming up the road and smiled for she knew that her would be coming for she knew her way to well. But as she came closer Sophia frowned as she seen her sister was a mess but she quickly became furious as she seen what was in her hand. As she watched her sister put it to her lips and inhale it Sophia gasped and felt like someone stab a knife through her heart. Deciding to be sneaky Sophia gotten out her wand and transformed herself to look like a completely different person as well as her voice. Jumping softly down from the tree Sophia landed softly behind her.

"You know smoking doesn't cure the pain, I can still see in your eyes that your in pain."said Sophia softly but in a different voice. "You know, Sophia wouldn't want you to be doing this."said Sophia softly shaking her head. "As a matter of fact I know she wouldn't."said Sophia as she stared about Nikki with her now golden eyes. Sophia knew that Nikki didn't know it was really her that was hidden underneath all these charms and spells. "You think smoking will make you numb to where you forget everything that makes you hurt but it only makes you weaker and miss your sister more."said Sophia softly.

Hearing a jump, Nikki turned and was shocked and surpised. She frowned and wondered who the heck was this stranger. "Smoking minimizes the pain, and everyone's in pain, sweetheart," Nikki responded to the stranger's first intuition. Nikki backed away from the stranger and chuckled and shook her head. "How do you know that name and what she would or wouldn't want me doing?" Nikki asked, a little bit freaked out that this person knew her sister's name...Well, who doesn't know Sophia? So it shouldn't be too much of a shock. "How do you know what she knows?" Nikki asked again. "Who are the hell are you to tell me that I'm getting weaker or that I'll miss my sister more!" Nikki said outraged and angrily. "HERE!" Nikki said, dropping her cigarette and squashing it. "Is that okay for Sophia now? Can she stop sending you these messages and leave me be?" Nikki asked, just playing games with the stranger as anything they said was obviously a trick and a lie.

Sophia shook her head. "Indeed everyone is sweetheart, but killing themseleves isn't the answer."said Sophia softly. When she asked what she wanted her to do and not to do Sophia chuckled. "Because I just know these things, besides I have a little sister myself."said Sophia softly. When she asked hoe she knew what Sophia knew she chuckled. "I have my ways."said Sophia smirking. When she asked how the hell she was to tell her she was getting weaker and she missed her she smirked. When she dropped her cigarette smashed she shook her head and sighed. When she asked if she could stop sending her to tell her these messages she she shook her head. Getting out her wand and pointed it to herself as she turned back to herself and changed her voice back. "No she can't but I can!"said Sophia in her normal voice as she lowered her hood covering her face.

The stranger still was talking to her which ticked Nikki off. "I'm not killing myself, I'm just subsiding the pain for a while.." Nikki explained to the stranger. Nikki then scoffed at the fact she has a little sister herself. "Well, she must think you're rather weird and annoying for interferring in someone else's life and siblings," Nikki chuckled. Nikki then frowned. "What, I have my ways too, we're living in magical world, nothing's impossible here..." Nikki stated. Nikki's eyes widened and kind of growled at herself. It was Sophia, but Nikki didn't believe it because she'd been missing for ages and presumed dead by some."Good god, I must be High from these cigarettes," Nikki muttered and shook her head and believed everything she did then was because of a silly hallucination. Though she decided to play along. "What are you, a ghost? A stupid person who morphs themself into loved ones to hurt those in pain?" Nikki asked, wanting answers.

Sophia looked at her and shook her head. "Nope I'm not, I'm really Sophia Annabelle Lestrange who was once known as Sophia Annabelle Granger."said Sophia softly. As she looked at her she had a mixture of sadness and anger in her eyes. "Give me the cigarettes now Nikki Renee Granger!"said Sophia as her eyes glared a blood red at her. If she didn't believe that she was really Sophia her older sister she was sure she was going to believe her now for Sophia was the only one who knew her middle name. "Does that prove to you that I'm really Sophia your older sister or do I need to give you more proof believe me I WILL and you won't like it at all Nikki Granger!"said Sophia angrily.

Sophia nevered been so disappointed or furious in her sister and it took alot for her to be mad at her little sister for something. "Nikki Granger what were you thinking smoking these?!? do you know if you smoke to much of these it WILL kill you?"Sophia asked her angrily. "What made you even think about doing this? they make you look ugly and make your teeth yellow!'said Sophia with a disgusted look on her face. "But go ahead smoke them, there be 20 seconds I have to spend with you every time you lit one!"said Sophia angrily. "Go ahead and smoke your poison."said Sophia softly.

Gulping, Nikki gave Sophia the packet of cigarettes from her pocket. It was proof enough as almost nobody knew her middle name..just a couple of people here and there. Nikki touched Sophia's skin and realized she had made a terrible, horrible mistake. It was all real. "I believe you! Please, stop, I believe you!" Nikki fell to her knees and actually began to sob out loud. Tears ran down her face constantly and she couldn't stop.

"I thought if I smoked these, I'd...I'd feel better but most times I'd feel guilty afterwards," Nikki answered her first question, sobbingly. "And knowing it would kill me, made no difference 'cause I'd thought I'd see you on the other side," Nikki sniffled. Nikki choked and sobbed a bit more. "I thought that cause you were gone, and because you may come back, I wanted to die..but slowly, in case you came back, which you did!" Nikki continued. Nikki looked at Sophia, with sadness and puffy swollen red eyes and a wet face. She couldn't stop crying. "I won't, you're here, I won't do it anymore," Nikki cried. Nikki was now just sitting on the ground, sobbing.

Sophia looked down at Nikki her little sister and sat down beside her hugging her. "Nikki no matter where I'm at I'm always with you in here."said Sophia putting her hand to her heart. "Even though you can't feel it it's beating only for love as pure as ours."said Sophia softly giving her a soft warm smile. "Nikki I NEVER want to see you do this again you understand this isn't a way out of your pain."said Sophia softly rocking her. "I know drinking and these drugs may seem like the answer but in reality there nothing but poison."said Sophia softly.

As she pointed her wand at the pack of cigarettes as they turned into ashes and blew away in the wind. "You don't have anymore of them do you?"Sophia asked her softly. "Nikki every time you feel alone just remember, you may not think I'm here, but I'm always here!"said Sophia softly. "I'm sorry I gotten onto and scared you but I was only doing it for you my sister and I love you and I don't want to lose you."said Sophia softly. "Here, I think you might need this more then me."said Sophia taking off her black traveling cloak. "I know you have my old Gryffindor robe that you probably wear but another thing of me won't hurt."said Sophia smiling.

Nikki nodded and smiled when Sophia said she'd always be in her heart. "I know it wasn't..but I just couldn't handle knowing I might've lost you again...I mean...you've died...came back but didn't know who you were....then you became a Lestrange....and then got kidnapped and tortured and now you're back again...and I just keep thinking..one of these days, you won't come back.." Nikki sighed.

Nikki shook her head. "That was my first and only and last packet..." Nikki said honestly. Nikki looked at Sophia and grinned. "I love you too, and don't ever want to lose you..ever!" Nikki exclaimed to her sister. "Thanks," Nikki smiled, and accepted another piece of Sophia's sisterly love. "It's really good to see you...well and alive," Nikki said.
