Atlas got back to her dorm room late that night, she'd been with George for a while. They eventually left the passageway and began to wander the grounds of Hogwarts. They didn't talk about Ginny, though, Atlas didn't want to stress George out anymore than he already was. It was mostly silent, savor the few times when she would point out a star or a constellation and he would pretend to understand what she was talking about.

"That's the Pleiades cluster," Atlas said at one point, pointing to a small group of dim stars.

George nodded, pretending to look at the stars. In reality, he looked at Atlas, who was smiling and calm despite the terrible situation that they were in right now. She looked peaceful, "is it?"

"Yeah, one of the stars in it is called Atlas," she laughed lightly.

"Your parents named you after a star?" He tilted his head.

"No, just my dad... Never knew my mom," she spoke solemnly, but there was still a light smile on her face.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know."

"It's alright, I'm more than happy with Dad and Eris. Never a dull moment with her."

"I can tell, it seems a bit hectic."

"You've got no clue," she laughed.

They continued to walk in silence. George felt terrible that she'd only grown up with one parent. He couldn't imagine his life without his mom, she loved him unconditionally. Judging by her personality he knew there wasn't a lack of love in her life, so he knew it wasn't something he should loom over for too long.

"George!" Fred called from the building when he saw them walking past. He had a frantic look on his face, like everything was running a million miles an hour, yet he appeared to be happy.

"Yeah, what Freddie?" George tilted his head, excusing himself from Atlas for a moment. He walked towards Fred and he spoke in a hushed voice, and whatever he said must've flicked a switch in George's brain, because he grew the same look that Fred had. He quickly walked back over to her, "Atlas, Ron and Harry found Ginny, she's ok!"

"That's amazing!" She smiled at him, she was quite relieved herself.

"I'm really sorry, but I've got to go," He began.

"Go see your sister," Atlas nodded at him.

George began to walk away before quickly jogging back and engulfing her in a tight hug, "thank you," he whispered in her ear. He didn't turn back around to see her reaction, and she was grateful because her face had grown red as his hair.

Atlas hummed to herself quietly as she made her way to the slytherin common room, happy she was able to help someone. She was also happy that person happened to be George.

Fred and George wasted no time in running to the hospital wing, nearly skidding into a wall in an attempt to stop themselves from passing the door. When they walked in they saw their family all crowded around a hospital bed and their mother sobbing loudly. They saw Ron and Harry sitting near Hermione's hospital bed. Ron was telling Hermione what had happened, despite her still being petrified and him not knowing the entirety of the story.

"Ginny!" They called out in unison as they approached her. The small girl beamed at them as she threw her arms around her brothers.

"Sweetie little Ginny, where did you go?" Fred asked as he and George climbed onto Ginny's bed and made themselves comfortable.
