part 18

⚠️minor cursing, talks about death⚠️

" right, here we are " mrs weasley said as we stopped in front of an old fashioned shop. it seemed to be called ' purge & dowse ltd '- in the window, you could see a few chipped mannequins on display. there were large signs over the doors that displayed ' closed for refurbishment '. " come here, come here " mrs weasley beckoned as we all gathered around a dummy in a green dress. she leaned up to close to the glass and started whispering. " we are here to see arthur weasley ". the mannequin gave the tiniest nod and pointed them in. " get in groups " molly said to us all as george quickly stood next to me, wrapping an arm around my waist- earning a small smirk from his mother. i smiled back and nodded, giving her a little signal as she opened her mouth in awe. mrs weasley walked in with ron and hermione as fred went in with ginny and harry, completely disappearing through the glass. " hold on to me, love " george chuckled as he started walking straight for the glass.

the reception area of the hospital looked quite pretty. extremely festive, but pretty. there was holly hung around every doorway, shiny christmas trees covered in snow and baubles placed in every corner. we followed mrs weasley up to the front desk as she spoke to the lady. " hello, my husband- arthur weasley, was to be moved to a different ward this morning, would you tell us where he is please?".
" of course, mrs weasley. first floor, second door on the right. dai llewellyn ward " the witch spoke. " thank you, come on everybody " mrs weasley spoke as we followed her through to the ward.

" is everything okay arthur?" molly spoke after everyone had greeted him. " fine, yeah fine. you haven't- you haven't seen healer smethwyck, have you?" the crippled man replied. " no we haven't, why?" his wife replied, sounding confused. " oh it's nothing ". as mr weasley leaned over to shake harry's hand, mrs weasley looked under his shirt at the bandages. " arthur. you've had your bandages changed- why have your bandages changed a day early, dear? they told me they wouldn't need doing until tomorrow ". " what? no, no it's nothing i-" he stuttered as mrs weasleys eyes pierced into his. he finally gave in and with a sigh he spoke up again. " now, don't get upset molly, but augustus pye had an idea- he's the trainee healer, you know, lovely young chap and very interested in complementary medicine- i mean- some of these old muggle remedies... well, the- they're called stitches, and they work very well on- on muggle wounds-".

mrs weasley gave a small scream. " do you mean to tell me, that you have been messing about with muggle remedies?" she implied, her voice getting louder with each word she spoke. " no no- not messing about, dear. it was just something that pye and i thought we could try- only, well w-with these particular wounds, it doesn't seem to work as well as we'd hoped-". " meaning?" mrs weasley screeched. " well- i don't know whether you know what stitches are?". " it sounds as though you've been trying to sew your skin back together! but even you, wouldn't be that stupid!" molly laughed. " i fancy a drink, anyone else coming?" i said, eyeing up the weasley children, ron and harry- implying them to come with. " yes i think we could use a drink " harry replied, smiling. everyone else jumped to their feet as we rushed to the door. " what do you mean that's the general idea?" molly screamed again, her voice as loud as it would allow her to go. " merlins beard " i laughed. " typical dad " fred rolled his eyes. " where is the tea room?" ron asked. " fifth floor " harry answered.

we reached the fourth floor and started headed to the stairs but i was soon stopped in my tracks as i saw our old defence against the dark arts teacher, gilderoy lockhart, pushed up against some glass. i let out a scream as george's initial reaction was to grab me and drag me back, unfortunately his reaction was not needed as he sent me flying back into a wall. " shit y/n!" fred shouted as he ran over to me, laughing when he saw my dazed face. " thanks for that you asshole " i chuckled to george as his twin helped me up. " at least we're in the right place for it " ron laughed along. " prof- professor lockhart " hermione said lowly. he then stuck his head out of the door and pointed straight at me. " what were you doing down there?". " uhm- i fell over ". " whatcha fell over for?". " i didn't do it on purpose!-". " gilderoy! what on earth are you doing!" a nurse shouted from next to us, making me jump. " oh! you've got visitors!" she continued, urging us all into the ward.

as we sat down in the extra chairs the nurse provided- hermione, harry and ron had started making small talk with him. i spotted neville in the far corner of the ward, all alone looking like he was about to burst into a puddle of tears any second. fred and george noticed my gaze on him and went to talk to him. as soon as george asked him if he was okay, he cracked. i got up and immediately went to comfort him. " i'm sorry, i do-don't like crying. i just cou-couldn't hold it off any- any longer " he sobbed into my shoulder. " oh nev, it's okay " i hushed. " do you want to get out for a bit?" i asked and he pulled away nodding. i looked up at the twins and they both nodded. " take as long as you need, i'll come get you when we're leaving " george said. i smiled and wrapped my arm around neville's shoulder, walking him out of the room. " where do you want to go?" i asked him lowly. " somewhere calm and quiet ".

" here we are " i said as we walked through the door to a closed off room. neville walked in and immediately ran to the glass window that was separating us from the ward. his face softened immediately as his gaze landed on the sleeping babies in the icu. a soft smile came onto his face as he crossed his arms over his chest and sighed contently. not breaking his silence, i closed the door slowly and quietly and made my way over to him, resting my head on his shoulder. " i'm sorry you saw me like that ". " hey no, don't be sorry. it's okay, you don't have to hide your feelings away " i replied. " who are you visiting?". " mr weasley, what about you?". " my mum and dad ". " how are they doing?" i asked. " they could be better, i suppose. they were tor-". " neville you don't have to tell me ". " no it's okay. i want to ". " okay, go ahead " i replied, smiling slightly up at him as he turned to face me.

" bellatrix lestrange tortured my parents for information but they didn't give up, she tortured them into insanity. i'm quite proud to be their son " he explained. " you should be proud! you're amazing neville and so are they ". " what about your parents? how is your mum and dad?" he asked, smiling. " oh, well i recently found out that sirius black is my dad but uhm- my mum was killed by bellatrix, along with my little brother " i sighed, lowering my voice at the last few words. i didn't even have time to process what had happened before i realised i had kept talking but had no idea what i was saying. i teared up as the memory of aidan collapsing on the floor in front of me and olly's limp body on his bed, covered in blood ran through my mind. i was pulled out of my trance when neville's arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me into him. " we'll stick together. i've got you " he whispered as i put my arms around his shoulders.

" oh! there she is! " fred shouted as we walked back to the reception, neville's arm was slung around my shoulder and his free hand rubbing my other arm. george rushed over and cupped my face to look at him " what happened, love? ". neville spoke up before i could " she explained what happened to her mum and her two brothers. i don't think she realised she was telling me though, it all sounded rushed and accidental ". " no no no, i'm okay " i said when a sad expression took over george's faces. " it probably did good to talk about it ". " i'm going to get back to my grandma so i'll see you at school?" neville said. " yeah, merry christmas!". " merry christmas " he laughed back. " come on, let's go back " i said, wrapping an arm around george's torso. " mums not mad at dad anymore " he chuckled. " thank heavens ".

" oh, where's y/n" molly said as we walked into the room, george hiding me for some reason. " mum and dad, there's someone i want you to meet ". " what are you talking about, dear?" mrs weasley asked him. " meet my girlfriend " george said as he stepped aside so she could see me. " gir- girlfriend? oh that's wonderful! it's about time too!" she cried. " well done, son " mr weasley exclaimed. molly wrapped me into a hug and sobbed. " oh come here, dear " mr weasley said once his wife had moved away. " welcome to our family, lovely " he said, pulling me into a hug too. " thank you, mr weasley ". " oh, it's arthur to you my dear ". i smiled and sat down next to george as he kissed my head and whispered. " mums always wanted you to become her daughter-in-law, you know ". " wait, daughter-in-law? doesn't that happen after marriage?". " yes but i expect mums already started planning our wedding in her head for the soon to be mrs weasley ". " we're not engaged, bub " i laughed. " not yet, love. but one day ".
