Angel eyes - George Weasley X Reader

part 13

credits to @chloe_r_ for helping with this chapter<3

saturday and sunday quickly flew by. it was currently sunday evening, george and i were alone in our now shared dorm, completely lost in everything as we danced and screamed along the lyrics to artic monkey songs such as; why'd you only call me when you're high, 505, do i wanna know from my muggle music player i brought along. we were dancing around, arms wrapped around each other singing along to the lyrics of ' i wanna be yours '. the sound off the music shutting off broke us apart. " so much for a quiet night in " harry laughed as he stood there with everyone else. and i mean everyone. fred, lee, ron, hermione, ginny, dean, seamus, oliver wood. " how long have you guys been stood there watching us?" george asked curiously. " from about the middle of the first song " dean answered. my mouth dropped open as my eyebrows raised. " the- the first song?" i repeated. they all laughed. " it's alright love, they enjoyed our little show " george spoke up, trying to ease the tension. " we came to get you for dinner, actually " hermione laughed. " and all of you had to come?" george retorted. she looked down as her face flushed pink. " alright alright, let's go then " i chuckled, turning off my muggle music player and walked with george out of the room to the great hall.

the atmosphere in the hall was always homely. the sound of low chatter buzzing around, the sound of laughter filling it occasionally. dumbledore rose from his seat and started speaking - " welcome everyone, to a new year at hogwarts! we are all here today on the thought of what the future could hold. the future isn't a distant reality anymore. it begins here, it begins today! no matter where we go or what we do, there are challenged ahead of us. what i am asking from each and every one of you, along with myself, is to meet everything that comes to us all to face our challenges with our heads held high and with our hearts full of good. i ask you to remember this- happiness can be found, even on the darkest of days if one only remembers to turn on the light! on that positive note, let us eat! ". a banquet of food filled the tables in front of us as almost everyone dug in straight away.

i was thrown off as an owl flew down to me, landing on my shoulder. it dropped a letter on lap and pecked at my ear. i handed it some owl treats and it flew off again. i looked at the envelope and saw it said ' read alone, in private '. everyone else had ignored the owl so i got up to leave. george noticed so i rubbed his shoulder and whispered in his ear. " i think this is lupins reply, it says to read it alone ". he nodded as a reply, considering he had a mouth full of food.

y/n peters,

thank you for writing, i appreciate it a lot. i am teaching defence against the dark arts again this year but i wont arrive until later on sunday evening due to personal reasons, which i'm sure you are aware of. i will be able to help you more once i am at hogwarts but for now i will help you the best i can through this letter. the ministry of magic is intercepting more and more owls so i wont be able to tell you exactly what i want to say, i can only give you clues on where to go to get the information you need.

when you receive this letter, i need you to head straight to the defence against the dark arts classroom and unlock the large cabinet at the very back of the room- the one you always asked me about in lessons. in the cabinet, you will find a stack of letters. take them all to your dormitary but don't let anyone else read them. they are strictly between us. i am sorry to be so secretive but i will be of more help when i get to see you in person.

hoping you are well,

remus lupin.

i read his letter twice and went straight to the classroom after. i unlocked it and closed it again once i was inside. i walked into the middle and immediately felt uneasy. there it was. the dusty old cabinet, towering over me more with each step i took towards it. " alohamora " i waved my wand and the lock clicked. the door flung open and i suddenly saw a familiar limp body lying on the floor. " george? " i said shakily. it then changed to ginny's body, dead. ron's, dead. fred, dead- completely covered in blood with a pool of it forming around his head. my aunt, dead. my aunt's body then switched to mr and mrs weasley's. they were laying hand in hand, blood trickling down their faces. " no, please! n-no " i sobbed as i took in what was laid in front of me. " ridikulous!" i head a voice shout from behind me. " y/n? hey you're okay. it was just a boggart. i've got you, you're safe " the voice hushed as a pair of arms wrapped around me.

" come on, let's go go dinner " blaise said, pulling me up once i had calmed down. " can you give me a minute please " i asked quietly. " yeah, i'll wait outside ". he left and i walked over to the cabinet. sure enough, there was a collection of letters at the bottom. i took them and put them into a pocket of my coat and left the room. " come here " blaise said as he pushed himself off of the opposing wall and walked across the corridor with his arms open. i wrapped mine around his torso as he rubbed my shoulders and started walking us to the great hall.

" keep an eye on her will you? she's just faced a boggart. a bloody strong one at that " blaise said to the gryffindors as he sat me down, continuing to rub my back. " i'll see you later, okay?" he said as i nodded and he left to the slytherin table. " are you alright, darling?" fred asked next to me as he pulled me into his side. " yeah, i'm okay " i replied, my voice breaking as i spoke. " y/n, what did you see? what did the boggart turn into?" ron spoke up. the images of the weasleys and my aunt laying on the floor lifeless flashed through my mind again. " ronald! not the time!" hermione swatted, hitting him with a book. i felt my eyes tearing up but i wiped them away as soon as they started falling. " come on, let's go back to the common room " harry suggested as we all got up and left.

when we all got back to the common room, i sat in the sofa as listened to ron, harry and fred telling a story about a prank they pulled on harry in 1st year. i wasn't really paying attention until george came and sat next to me, pulling me into him and resting my head on his shoulder. he started humming a song to me and i smiled at his efforts to cheer me up. i then remembered about the letters and decided to go and read theme " i'm going to go to my room, i'll see you in a bit " i whispered to george. " okay, i'll come see you soon " he replied as i smiled. " guys i'm going to bed, good night " i said louder to the rest of the group. i got a lot of " okay, sleep well ", " goodnight, hope you're okay y/n " from the group as i went upstairs.

i changed into leggings and one of george's hoodies i found folded on his bed. i took out the letters and separated them from the rubber band wrapped around them, keeping them together. i had just gotten the first letter out of the envelope when there was a knock at the door. " only me, love " george said as he came in with a basket. " i know you haven't eaten so i brought food " he continues with a smile on his face. i chuckled as he sat down and put the food on my bed. he ate with me and told me stories about the pranks him and fred pulled in the break.

we were silent for a bit until i whispered. " my boggart was you and your family dying, it started off as you then it changed to ginny, ron and then fred. h-he was covered in blood and i panicked and th-then it was m-mr and mrs w-we- weasley, they- they were together, mr weasley was clutching your mums hand and i-  i didn't know what to do ". " oh love, i'm so sorry, come here " he hushed, pulling me into a hug. " i must say though, i'm extremely honoured that your biggest fear is my family dying ". " of course it is, i love you all. i consider you all as close to me as family " i replied. " we all love you too ".
