Weasley Charm | Fred Weasley

Chapter 7-6: Splinched

Delaney woke up the morning she and the others had planned to break into the ministry, ridden with anxiety. Though she hadn't had a vision that showed anything would go wrong, it didn't exactly give her peace of mind because she didn't have a vision of the day of Bill and Fleur's wedding either.

Nonetheless, Delaney got up, throwing on an outfit before brushing her teeth and making her way down to the kitchen. She walked in to find Harry already sitting at the table. Kreacher was meandering around the kitchen, searching for his ingredients to make dinner.

"Morning Harry. Morning Kreacher," Delaney grinned, sitting down at the table and placing a piece of Kreacher's french toast on her plate.

"Good morning, Miss Black," Kreacher said idly.

"Morning, Delaney," Harry grinned. Though his grin was ridden with worry and anxiety as well.

"You're worried too, aren't you?" Delaney asked in between bites. Her anxiety caused her to lose her appetite but she knew it was important to eat.

"Yeah," Harry nodded, "yeah, I am."

"I am too. But, truth be told, I think if anyone can pull this off, it's us," Delaney said, letting a small grin leave her lips.

"Do you really think we can do this?"

"Harry, are you forgetting all of the crazy, dangerous things we've been put through? We managed to make it through those without forming a plan. I think we can manage. We just have to be on our toes," Delaney kindly grabbed his hand. Harry took a deep breath as he nodded.

"Is everyone ready?" Hermione asked, rubbing her eyes as she entered the kitchen. Ron followed slowly behind her.

"We were just having a spot of breakfast first," Delaney nodded, taking a sip of her tea. "Ron, I suggest you start eating because I will not deal with you if you're hungry."

"Yes, mother," Ron rolled his eyes sarcastically.

"Hermione, do you have everything in your bag?" Harry asked.

"Of course she does. She had everything in it days before we left the Burrow," Ron said in between bites.

"Thank you, Hermione," Harry looked over at Ron. Hermione and Delaney giggled as Ron made a face at Harry.

"Yes, I do Harry," Hermione giggled, taking a small sip of her tea.

"Good, that means we'll be able to get going as soon as Ron's done eating"" Harry nodded.

"Why is everyone waiting on me?" Ron asked, stuffing a whole slice of french toast into his mouth. Delaney looked at Harry and Hermione before all three of them burst out into laughter.

After Ron finished eating the french toast Kreacher made, everyone said goodbye to Kreacher. They promised him they'd be back before dinner to eat the lovely meal he was preparing. Once they said goodbye to Kreacher, they all disapparated. Though Delaney was quite good at apparating and disapparating, she could never get over the feeling. It was almost like getting the wind knocked out of you repeatedly.

Nonetheless, the four quickly hid around the corner of one of the buildings in London, waiting for the witches and wizards they would be becoming to pass. Within five minutes, all four of them had walked past the group. They had timed it quite perfectly. Hermione was to polyjuiced into Mafalda Hopkirk, Ron into Reg Cattermole, Harry into Albert Runcorn, and Delaney into a witch that was normally seen at Mafalda's side–her name was unknown to them.

"Now remember, we need to stick together unless we must separate," Harry said in his now altered appearance. The rest of them silently nodded before they began walking into the public entrance to the Ministry.
