Rollercoaster LOVE

she

I awoke with the sunshine streaming on my face. It was warm and I smiled. George was playing with my hair as we had changed positions and Iwas laying on his chest.

"Good morning." I smiled looking up at him.

"Hi, love. Did you rest well?"George asked.

I hummed and snuggled in closer. If this was the once chance I would get to snuggle him then I was taking full advantage of it. After all, I might be forced to marry someone I don't love so why not?

George let out a small chuckle and kissed my temple. Suddenly the smell of bacon and pancakes filled my nostrils and I smiled. We both got out of bed and went downstairs to find that everyone was awake and seated at the table.

"Amber, darling. How did you sleep?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Very well. I apologize for my behavior last night and will return as soon as you would like. I'm truely sorry for intruding your home, especially in that state and time of night." I said bowing my head slightly.

I was slightly ashamed even though everyone was so welcoming. I wasn't brought up like this. This behavior isn't becoming of a young lady and I knew that. I just wanted George.

Molly embraced me and started tearing up.

"There's always room for you, honey. Don't ever apologize for that." she said to me.

I returned the embrace. Molly hugs are special to me. Not that my family doesn't love me enough ( questionable right now)but Molly has so much warmth in hers.

"Thank you." I said feeling the tears beginning to form.

"Mom, there's an owl." Ginny said quietly.

I realized she was there and sheepishly waved a hello. She hadn't been up when I came in the middle of the night.

"Molly, who is-" Arthur asked gesturing towards me.

"Sorry, sir. My name is Amber Sparks. It's a pleasure to meet your aquaintence." I extended my hand.

"Ah, this is the girl George has been smitten with." he said smiling.

"Dad!" George exclaimed, earning a chuckle from everyone.

"I work with your father at the Ministry. He's a kind man." Arthur stated.

"Thank you, sir. I'd like to think Igained at least that quality from him." I said laughing.

Molly had gone to check the letter and handed one to me. It was from my parents. I looked up biting my lip. I wasn't sure I was ready. I decided to open it after breakfast.

Breakfast at the Weasleys was almost as much as Hogwarts. The food tasted even better and made me grin. I helped Molly clear the dishes and went to help the other children withthe gnomes. I was avoiding the letter. I knew it, but Iwasn't ready.

"George... can I steal you away for a minute?" I asked him.

"Of course." He nodded following me.

"My parents sent a letter.. I'm scared." I admitted.

"What can I do?" He asked.

"Please just stay with me." He nodded and sat with me while Iread the letter.

Dear Amber,

My baby, I don't even know where to begin. This wasn't the way we wanted to tell you. Molly tells us you are safe there. That's all we have ever wanted for you was your safety and happiness. Please do try to understand. We love you even if nothing else is clear at the moment. You're marriage can't happen until you're of the legal age. Try to focus on studying and pass those tests. I know you can do it. You're mother is also worried for you. I've told you in the past I haven't always made the best choices and this may be one of them. I understand it's difficult to grasp. Please have someone update us jsut to know you are safe.

with all of our love,

your parents

"Fuck. I forgot the exams." I say aloud.

"When do you take them?"George asked.

"I have to take them in two days.. Draco has been helping me study and then this happened. We were cramming because of it being so close." I said. I swore I saw a hint of jealousy when I told George but he nodded none the less and we walked back to the group.

I sat down with Molly and explained the situation. She asssured me Dumbledore knew I was here and would come get me when it ws time. My parents had sent Molly a letter asking her to allow me to stay there until I was calm enough to return home and they woudl bring me my clothing if needed.

Suddenly another owl appeared at the window with another two letters. There wasn't a return adress and I hadn't recognized the hand writing on either envelope but noticed they were both adressed to me. Ron told me that Harry had blown his aunt up and was going to meet us at Hogwarts. He was staying at the Leaky Cauldron until we returned to school.

I excused myself to the twins room and found them building some pranks and sat on Georges bed. I decided to open the letters.

The first read:

Dear Amber,

Although I can't agree with your parents not discussing your marriage plans,  I do hope this letter finds you well. It is a lot to take in and I know Draco was worried. I apologize for the way you had to find out. I do hope your tests go well and we see you soon.

With love,

Narcissa.

I sighed. I opened the next letter adn found:

Amber,

I'm sorry. I'm a fucking dick. It just made me so mad that they would keep something like that from you. How long would it have been until you found out? Our wedding? I do apologize for my actions. I hope you can come to accept that you will be my wife one day. I understand that this was sudden but you are special to me. I won't let anyone hurt you. I promise to do my best to take care of you, as I've been trying. when your dad asked me to help you study I said yes without a second thought. You are the only person I told about my dad. I would hope that you could keep it between us. Please write back.

Draco
