Beloved - F. Weasley

{.77. The hidden room}

Leaving Shell Cottage to return to Hogwarts had been a difficult decision for Carina to make. She hadn't wanted to leave Fred, they'd been living in newly wed bliss the past few weeks and she most definitely hadn't wanted to leave Orion but she had the reassurance that if she needed anything to send her patronus and Fred would come and get her immediately. He didn't care how many death eaters he would have to fight. Orion seconded his statement and said Carina would never be left to be scared at school on her own when he was around — he would always protect his little one.

She knew Ginny and Blaise were also returning to Hogwarts so this had swayed her decision in the end. She didn't want Blaise to be on his own. She couldn't allow it. She missed her brother and she loved him more than anything in the world. The thought of something happening to Blaise when she wasn't there to protect him sent her into a panic. She had to be there for the people that were there for her, she didn't feel like it was acceptable otherwise.

Saying goodbye to Fred, Orion and George at the platform had been the hardest things she had experienced in quite some time. The tears were unreal as she realised that she wasn't going to see the people she loved the most for a good while longer, maybe not until a war; unless she decided to go home for the Easter holidays.

Draco hadn't come back after Christmas, Blaise had said he wrote to him explaining that he was needed at the manor. Carina was concerned for him but they knew that he would be somewhat alright, he had to be. If Draco was returning it was not for long, Blaise had mentioned he'd be coming back and forth due to his death eater status. Carina didn't understand that but she didn't question it, Blaise told her not to worry and he had it sorted — so she trusted him.

Neville and Seamus were elated when they found out Carina had married Fred Weasley. They asked what she was doing about her last name, she had told them she didn't mind if she was called Zabini or Weasley. She loved the sound of both and she'd always be a Zabini either way. — it was her being close to her dad which is why she loved Zabini so much. She really didn't mind either one but she had started to love the sound of Carina Bella Weasley.

Carina had been called into Professor McGonagall's office one morning. It was the second week into term, Neville had taken to hiding in the common room as the Carrow's were after him more so than ever. It was pitiful, he was amazing and they were looking to him as a leader; he was a good one and he was making his parents proud. Carina had slowly began to appreciate how much Neville truly done for everyone left in the school and she loved him for keeping them all safe. It was one of his many qualities that Carina just truly appreciated.

"Minnie is everything ok? Is it Orion? Or Fred?" She started panicking and Minnie shook her head

"No miss Carina, it's about your friend, Michael Davies," she said with sad eyes
