Carly’s life was so different than it had been even a year ago, she had two parents who loved her and three siblings she adored with another on the way. It wasn’t too long ago that she had worried what might happen to them if they adopted her because she had felt like she really was cursed but they had shown her that she was wrong. Now she had the family she had always dreamed about and an incredible boyfriend to boot. Justin had stood by her even through everything that had happened, she had done her best to push him away to make sure that he didn’t lose his family but he had refused and she loved him for it. He hadn’t given up on them and in the end his parents had seen the light and realised that having their son be with someone like Phoebe just wasn’t worth the hassle. Carly had had no choice but to grow up quickly, she’d had to look after her grandmother before she died and she had grown used to not being able to rely on anyone but now she had plenty of people in her corner and it was refreshing to say the least.
Last year at Hogwarts had been eventful and if she was honest Carly couldn’t help but hope that this year would be much calmer. She knew that it wasn’t going to be easy, after all she had her OWLs at the end of the year but she had Syrus, Yasmin, Justin and Joel by her side who were all in the same boat and she knew that they would get through it together. Right now Carly wasn’t sure what she wanted to do with her life after she graduated but she had plenty of time to figure that out and if she couldn’t then she could take her time by staying on at the university and hone her skills in an area she thought would be the right fit for her so she knew that it would work out fine. For now she knew better than to worry about that, she needed to focus on the here and now and that was exactly what she was going to do. As it was her mum was pregnant and at first Carly had thought that her parents would change their minds about her and take her back to the group home given that that had happened before but they hadn’t done, they had promised that she was a part of their family no matter how big it ended up getting and she believed them. They weren’t giving up on her and that really did make the world to her. Living so close to Hogwarts meant that she could go to and from school as she wanted to and that day she had decided to head back home after her classes ended to see how her parents were doing. She knew that her mum wasn’t able to go to work given that she was in the late stages of the pregnancy and after everything that had happened Carly knew to keep the people she loved close. She had decided to stop by one of the shops in Hogsmeade on her way home and pick up some treats for her family and as she headed into the house she set the bag down on the kitchen counter after having a look around for her mum. “Mum, are you here?” she called out, hoping that she was in the house somewhere.
