Taste Of Death

Chapter 12: Secrets in the Dark

Everyone turned at the loud thud that came from Isilvana falling to the floor, Hermione got her up quickly "Isilvana...Isilvana are you okay?" she asked with a panic look and all eyes were on her. Mrs Weasley rushed over to her "Isilvana dear please wake up" George was leaning in and asked "Mum what do you need us to do? "I need you to-" "AAAAGGGHHHHHHHH" a loud scream came from the chimney and it was Fred who had just shown up "...Get you bloody brother" she said. George and Ron ran over to their brother getting him up "Bloody hell Fred what happened to you?" asked Ron with a look of concern.

Fred couldn't answer as he was bleeding too much from his forearm "IT HURTS" he screamed squeezing George's hand. George pulled back his brother sleeves and was mortified as his brothers veins were turning black with poison "Mom it's worse than we thought!" trying to get his mom over. Molly and Hermione laid her down on the couch then ran over to Fred who was laying on the table "Oh my heavens" eyes going wide "What is it mum?" Ron asked. She didn't give an answer she just ran over to her pantry and started to gather items to make a potion, Ron stopped her "Mum look at me, what is it?" "He was bitten by a caeruleus, a highly venomous snake. Now move boy so I can save your idiotic brother!" he did as he was told.

It took Molly maybe five minuets to brew up the potion and in good timing as it was starting to spread "Okay Ron you open his mouth, George you hold him down, he's not gonna like this" they both nodded. Without wasting another second she poured the potion into his mouth giving the okay for Ron to shut it so Fred wouldn't spit it out. Fred was trying to fight them back but soon enough passed out on the table. The boys looked over too their mom "He's gonna be alright now take him up stairs, Hermione and I will take Isilvana"  and did as they were told.

Hermione looked over at Mrs Weasley "Is she gonna be alright?" "I do hope so" and placed a cold cloth on her head. "Bloody hell George what do you think happen?" "I can't say for sure but it was stupid" and laid their brother down on his bed, the boys went back down stairs to help get Isilvana to Charlie's room. Arthur finally arrived home and was greeted by an exhausted Mrs Weasley "What's the matter my dear?" he asked while hugging her and she explained all that had happened.

Isilvana was the first to wake up but she just laid there looking up at the ceiling "Oh how I wish you were here mother" and started to softly cry. There was a knock on the door and it was Hermione "How are you feeling?" "Like crap if I'm being honest" sitting up in pain. Hermione helped her sit up "I am so sorry you are going through this" "Hey you're not the one putting me through this okay" she is trying to reassure her. "Yeah but if we didn't keep encouraging you to stick around you wouldn't be with Fred and you would be okay" she started to play with her hands "Oh Hermione this does suck but...there's just this connection I feel with Fred that I'd rather be with him more than anyone else" "So you love him?"

She didn't know how to answer as she was still trying to figure that out "If I'm being honest I'm not sure" and left it at that. Soon Mrs Weasley had called everyone down for dinner and Fred was the last one to come down. "You gave me such a scare" giving her son a hug and then a smack upside his head "Owe I'm Sorry mum" rubbing his head. Mrs Weasley just put her hands at her hips "It's not me you need to be apologizing too" pointing to Isilvana who was only trying to eat her food. He walked over to her "May I speak with you outside?" "Yes that should be fine" and walked outside with him.

Fred led her to a nearby bench for them to sit on "Isilvana I am truly truly sorry for what I have done and how it's affecting you" she just sat in silence. He grabbed her hand "My past...is something dark and it looks like I am still paying for those sins and sadly you have been tangled in this chaotic web" and put her hand down. "Fred I...I wan't to understand you, so why won't you let me in?" "Because you'd never see me the same" hanging his head low.
