Lightning *Fred Weasley love*

Escape

"Electra...Electra!!!" I yelled "dad it's Electra"

"Fred we nee—"
He ducked below a spell that went flying for our broom "need to focus"

I couldn't
All I could focus on was Electra flying through

"We need to go get her!!" I yelled
I wish I had control of the broom
Fuck

"Fred we need to get to the portkey"

  "Dad please" I begged

He changed directions of the broom and we flew around, dodging spells and barely avoiding collision with brooms

I looked around
  "I don't see her where did she go?"
Did I imagine seeing her...?
No I feel her presence
I can't explain it but I know she's close still

"Fred I think it was someone using a polyjuice to distract us" my dad said flying towards our portkey again but missing because a death eater pursued us

I shot the killing curse at him and he went down
My dad and I didn't talk after that, we stayed in silence
We found another portkey that wasn't used, Moody and Fletchers, and took that one to get back to the burrow

Electra's POV

I didn't focus on faces, I only focused on looking the part of being under a spell
Even if I did see someone I loved I couldn't interact with any of them, not yet at least

We flew into the chaos and storm
Lightning was striking around us but Draco stayed focused
His plan was to make sure death eaters saw us in the fight, but then we were going to hide out somewhere close

We might have passed by multiple order members, but I couldn't tell in the storm clouds
I could feel Fred's presence near me though, I didn't know how but I knew he was close

"Ok we're going" Draco said dodging a green spell that was sent to us from Moody and a Harry, could be the real one I wouldn't put it past them to put him with an auror but Harry would have said something if he saw me
At least I think he would

We descended down near a small river
We dismounted the broom and hide it in some bushes close by
I looked up at the mayhem and prayed to Merlin that everyone in the order made it out of that alive
Please be safe Fred

We walked away from the broom and sat by the riverbank nearby
I turned my eyes from the river to our surrounding area
It was filled with moss and trees further in the distance
There were no frogs chirping, no owls flying by, no other wild creatures
Just the sound of a battle above

We both sat silently watching the fight go on
I was about to ask Draco if he thought Voldemort showed up already when we heard a powerful spell collide with another
I could see the trial of lights flowing through clouds, separating them as the two strands connected
I lifted my hands to my hair, it was frizzing up from the static the collision was creating above us

"Voldemort..." Draco said quietly
I felt my blood still and my breathing along with it
Who is he fighting...

Rain began to pour down on us, so we moved from our cover to the shade of the trees in the distance
The rain felt nice though, I hadn't been outside in months it was nice for even a little normalcy
I let my hand freely capture rain drops that branches released onto us
I wish I could run around as vulpes during this storm

"Draco" I said breaking our silence

He looked calmly at me

"I'm going to miss you" I said sadly

He took my hand and squeezed it tightly
"I'm going to miss you too"

The fighting let up, but the storm continued on

"Would you prefer the broom?" He asked getting up from his seat on the ground
Watching the battle above us was gut wrenching
I didn't know the fate of either end, just that it was ending

"No I think I'll apparate then run as vulpes to the burrow" I told him during one of our countless sleepless nights that I was an animagus

He nodded his head
"Remember if you get lost that bag has supplies in it, food water clothing whatever you might need. Mum gave you that box too, it has your wand bracelet and ring, open it when you are safe" he gave me a tight hug and even held on for a few moments
When we pulled apart I felt like I saw sorrow for a split second but his face went back to neutral "good luck, stay safe ok?"

"I will thank you for all your help...and being there for me during these last few months. If it wasn't for you and your mum I wouldn't have made it. You stay safe too"
I wiped away tears that fell

He nodded his head and then took off on the broom

I stayed in my spot, contemplating my route. I needed to apparate close but I didn't know how far out their protection spells went
But then I thought of a spot that was far enough away and safe
Ill go to the lake

With apparation you had to know your spot exactly, every detail
Fred and I used to spend every day there growing up, I wouldn't forget it ever. Not one detail

Darkness took over and I felt the squeezing sensation of apparation take over
In a blink of an eye I wasn't in a field near an expired fight scene but rather I was standing in front of a make-shift clubhouse that was built when Fred and I were younger

The clubhouse was in the largest tree we could climb at the time and with Fred being extremely tall for his age and me being able to climb anything from lack of fear it was pretty high up there
It was made of spare wood we found laying around the burrow and nails that his dad would collect from the ministry's muggle collection
We used to haul those things daily until we finished building it
Being so young meant we couldn't use magic so everything was hand done, which looking back on it now makes it more special
We spent hours from dusk till dawn building it

Outside of the clubhouse our sign still held on, after all these years.
"Fred and Electra's all others stay out
Especially Ron"

I laughed at the memory, Ron used to want to spend all his time with me but Fred hated that he tagged along everywhere
This clubhouse was for us only and it stayed that way even after he went off to Hogwarts

When we thought we finally built it perfectly we climbed up the top to enjoy our masterpiece in all its glory
We high-fived when we finished inspecting it and sat down to play house, but right when we sat down my side of the clubhouse fell apart and I fell through the floor
Fred caught my arm before I fell all the way down but I still ended up dislocating my shoulder from him grabbing me sharply
I remember Mrs.Weasley's panicked face when she saw Fred carrying me and I was holding onto my left shoulder crying
After she fixed me with magic she yelled at us for being reckless
She said it was dangerous to be so far into the woods when we were so young and to be playing with muggle tools that we weren't used to using
I told her that it could have been worse if Fred didn't catch me, that didn't seem to make things better for us. She grounded us from the clubhouse for weeks, when we finally returned we were able to fix the hole.
Fred made George go up with him to be sure it was ok for me this time, he refused to let me relax in it until it was. Fred held a lot of guilt for not checking it properly before we relaxed and sat down, he was mostly upset that he hurt me in the process of trying to rescue me. I told him I knew he didn't mean to hurt me and that he was the only reason I wasn't severely injured. Fred smiled at that and told me that he would protect me no matter what and would always be there to catch me when I fell

Fred...

I looked around the lake and no one was nearby
I'm safe now but I need to run for the burrow, it won't take me as long if I'm a fox.

I took off from the lake, taking one last look at the beautiful memories that laid there, and headed straight for the burrow as quickly as I could go

I headed home
