'Till The End Darling

4. The Dark Mark

Georges pov:

We'd waited in the safety of the Forest for nearly twenty minutes, and I could tell y/n was getting restless.
"Guys I really think we should go back. I mean what about Harry, Ron and Hermione?" She pleaded.
"Shes got a point boys, Especially Harry. Can you imagine what the DeathEaters would do to him if they found him." Ginny reasoned.
Just then a sharp cracking noise sounded from behind us and a surge of green light lit the sky around i noticed y/n jump and move towards me slightly.
"Thats it I'm going back. We have to find them." Y/n said sternly allthough by the look on her face i could tell she was scared.
"Then were all going with you" I said taking her hand in mine.
"Let's do this" Fred gulped.
"Everyone got their wands?" Ginny asked making sure we were all prepared for whatever it was we might face.

The sight of the once cheery campsite grows near. All of us slowed nearly to a hault as we saw the sheer destruction that the attack had caused. I noticed Ginny cover her mouth with her hand and y/ns cheek glisten as a silent tear fell peacefully down her cheek causing the clovers id painted on to weep with her.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione!" We all called in unison as we stepped further and further into the rubble.
"Theres someone over there, on the floor" Ginny pointed.
Y/n ran forwards to the figure on the floor with out even thinking.
"Harry?" She called "Harry is that you?"
I ran closely after her. Merlin was she frustrating. She cared so deeply for others that keeping herself safe wasn't a priority.
"Its him guys!" She called in relief.
Ginny came running over Fred closely behind.
"Harry?" A distant voice called.
"Its Hermione and Ron " y/n said her face lighting up. "Guys were over here" she said waving her hands in the air so they'd see her.

"Bloody hell" Fred said shakily. I turnt to see him staring up at the sky. I followed his view until my eyes were met with a harsh green light in the form of a skull. A horrid green snake slithered through the skulls mouth. I grimaced at the veiw of it. A silence fell over the newly rejoined group of children. Everybody stood still as a depressing feeling washed over us all. I looked around in search for y/n i needed to know she was okay. What i saw when I looked at her was quite possibly the most heartbreaking sight ill ever see. She stood her head tilted backwards looking up at the sky, now this was a position I'd seen her in many a time, she was always looking at the sky. But not like this. I walk over to her and place my hand round her shoulder. She says nothing at all  but stares upwards, watching with sad eyes as the infinite stars try there best to dance  despite the offensive mark intruding their world.
"Hey its okay" I reassure, not even believing my own words.
"The sky. They've even ruined the sky. Its not beautiful anymore George" y/n whispered shakily. Not removing her eyes from the dark mark cast across the sky.
I couldn't help myself I pulled her head towards my chest and held her tight. I couldn't let her just stare at the offensive mark which was aimed to cast fear in people exactly like her.
"I know y/n. I know" i hummed quietly while stroking the back of her head which was still nuzzled tightly into my chest.
