It was a week before Bill and Fleur's wedding.

You, Ginny, and Hermione were helping Mrs. Weasley in any way you could. With the wedding fast approaching, her nerves had gotten severely worse. You knew that her knowledge that Ron, Harry, and Hermione would be leaving after the wedding wasn't helping.

Harry had been advised by Dumbledore to tell you their plans as well just in case. If something went wrong or one of them got hurt you would take their place in the mission. If all went according to plan, they would be safe and you wouldn't have to join in. You were completely willing to join them, you wanted to help bring down Voldemort in any way you could.

You had been friend's with the Golden Trio since their first year. You were two years older than them but didn't exactly fit in with your fellow Slytherins even though you were a pureblood. You and your parents were blood traitors. You believed there was no reason to treat Muggle born witches and wizards any differently than half bloods and purebloods. Your parents were not afraid to make their opinions public if it meant helping more people speak out and come together.

You, Ginny, and Hermione were talking on the eve of the wedding when Hermione said, "We're leaving after the wedding." She had started to cry a little, she was having doubts about the success of their plans. Ginny got up and hugged Hermione, "It'll be okay. You guys will come back." You looked over and spoke too, "Hermione, you are bloody brilliant. You are one of the smartest people I know. If anyone could do this it's you three. Hey, maybe while you're gone you can tell Ron how you feel." You giggled, knowing Hermione had been crushing on Ron for a long time. "Oh please. We all know that won't happen," Hermione laughed, "but maybe Harry will finally come to his senses and ask you out again when this is over Ginny." You joined in with Hermione's laughing while Ginny rolled her eyes, "Maybe. What about you, Y/N? All these years and you've never fancied anyone! Unless there's something you're not telling us." You shook your head, "I have nothing to hide. It's simple. No one has caught my interest." Ginny smirked and nodded along like she believed you, "Whatever you say." After some more giggling you all went to sleep.

The next morning you got ready with the girls and headed outside to greet the guests. Among the people that arrived was Remus Lupin. He was your favorite DADA teacher throughout the years. You had always been the closest with him out of all your professors.

He approached you and smiled, "Well hello Y/N, you look lovely."

"As do you! May I take you to your seat?" you grinned back. He held out his arm and you took it, guiding him to his seat, which was near yours. "I suppose you must attend to the other guests but do come find me for a chat later," he said as he sat down.

"Of course. I'll see you then." You went back to the gate ushering in more people with Harry, who had been disguised as one of Ron's cousins. After everyone arrived you took your seats and waited. A moment later, music started playing and all heads turned toward the back. Fleur looked absolutely mesmerizing.

Around an hour later the ceremony had finished and the seats moved to tables, making an opening in the middle for a dance floor. You went across the tent to sit down at a table which occupied Harry, Hermione, Ron and Luna. You chatted with them for a while before finding a waiter and grabbing yourself a butterbeer.

A few tables away you saw Lupin talking with Mr. Weasley and decided to go talk to them. When you nearly reached them everyone's heads had turned at a silvery lynx jumping into the middle of the dance floor. It spoke with the voice of Kingsley, "The Ministry has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming."

The tent erupted in chaos. Popping and cracking noises began to sound everywhere from people Disaperating. You saw Harry, Hermione, and Ron had Disaperated as well. Not a minute later Death Eaters and Ministry workers began spilling in and grabbing anyone they could get their hands on. Mr. Weasley and Lupin saw you and motioned for you to come to them. "Stay with us Y/N, we will get this sorted out," Mr. Weasley said with a scowl on his face.

After hours of interrogation about information on Harry, the Death Eaters left. You had managed not to tell them anything or give them any bit of detail. Bill and Fleur had left after they were questioned and went to their cottage. Fleur's parents left and the only people still there were you, Lupin, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Fred, George, and Ginny. Mr. Weasley came in from outside, "They are searching all the families connected to Harry, but from what I hear everyone is okay."

"Well why do they suddenly want Harry, what gives them the authority to interrogate these people?" you ask. Mr. Weasley sighed handing over the Daily Prophet. In bold letters was written, "HARRY POTTER WANTED FOR QUESTIONING ON THE DEATH OF ALBUS DUMBLEDORE" You put the paper back down shaking your head, "They must be trying to pin his death on Harry. Obviously they want a reason to take him so You-Know-Who can have him."

Lupin nodded his head in agreement, "I believe so. The Ministry is under his control right now, not directly but he is definitely pulling the strings." You flipped over the Prophet seeing another headline, "MUGGLE-BORNS WANTED FOR QUESTIONING ON FURTHER KNOWLEDGE OF THE SOURCE OF THEIR MAGIC."

"Look at this! They're trying to take in Muggle-borns as well. That means they'll be on the lookout for Hermione too," you sighed leaning your head back. This was not good at all. Although the Death Eaters believed that the goblin upstairs was Ron they would still be on the lookout for Harry and Hermione. 

"What are we going to do?" Ginny asked.

Mrs. Weasley stood up, "We will stay safe and protect each other. Right now we are going to be the biggest target for getting information." Her face was stern and serious and everyone knew she meant business.

It had been a few days since the wedding and you had not heard from your parents. You were expecting a letter from them to check up on you but nothing came. George and Fred had gone back to their homes. Lupin said he would stay at the Burrow for the time being. Not only was the Ministry trying to track Muggle-borns but they were trying to track werewolves with magic as well. Ginny had started packing for Hogwarts. You two would talk late into the night about what she would do when she was there. With Dumbledore dead you both assumed that Voldemort's people would take over the school.

Over a week after the wedding, you were eating breakfast at the table when Mr. Weasley ran in, his face filled with sorrow, "Y/N I'm so sorry. Your parents have been killed. They spoke against You-Know-Who in the Quibbler and Greyback was sent to warn them against doing it again. The ministry is saying your parents didn't take it well and attacked him so he was forced to kill them in self defense." Your heart broke at what you had just heard. Your only family had been killed. You couldn't believe it. You knew your parents were proud and wanted to rise against Voldemort but you knew they wouldn't attack anyone they didn't have to. You started sobbing. Lupin had come down the stairs and heard what Arthur told you. He too knew what it was like to have Greyback take something away from you.

AUTHOR'S NOTE/////

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. It wasn't very long but as I keep going I'll go into more detail and make them longer. This chapter is the basis of the rest of the story so it doesn't tell much about Y/N's character but mostly her background.
