The other Black

Chapter elven

A/N 

hello guys,

I just wanna explain why it has been a wail so there I go. first of all I went on a holiday with my parents I had no wifi and things so I couldn't publish a chapter. but when we got back my grandfather was very sick (he was already sick but everything was getting worse) and he passed away last Thursday evening. that's why I didn't have time to write some "spare chapters" so I'm busy with that. I also don't know when the next one will be online, but I promise as soon as possible.  Stay safe and look out for each other! <3 

love from me.

I can still hear her scream in my head. I step out of the fireplace. 'WE HAVE TO GO BACK!' I yell at Fred. Fred looks at me questionably. 'we can go back tomorrow evening then we can see how the cut on her face is George. Calm down.' Fred says. 'You didn't saw it did you?' I ask him way quieter. 'Saw what?' 'THAT BITCH HIT SKYLER WITH THE CRUCIATUS CURSE! THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED.' Fred jaw drops and he sits down. 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING WE HAVE TO HELP HER!' 'help her? We can't do anything. George if we go there we are going to get ourselves killed.' 'BUT WE CAN'T JUST SITE HERE WHILE-....' 'GEORGE FABIAN WEASLEY WHAT RIGHT DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THAT YOU CAN JUST STAND HERE AT 5 AM WAKING UP THE WHOLE HOUSE?!' the voice of my mother interrupts me. Fred and I look up and both of our parents are standing there. Dad looks more asleep than awake but mom looks furious. 'now?! Why are you yelling like that George?!' 'mom we ehum-' Fred starts. 'we need your help.' Her face softens. 'with what' Fred sighs 'that's a long story take a seat.' Our parents take a seat at the dinner table next to Fred. I look at him silently asking if he wants to tell the story. He nods. 'you remember Skyler right?' mom nods a few seconds later dad follows. 'well the day we arrived home that evening George and I tried to go to her. She told us she had her own fireplace so we thought it wouldn't be a problem. So Friday we went there and we watched A hockey game.' I see the questionable looks on my parents faces. 'a muggle sport' I ad quickly. 'it all went well we came home and the next day we visit her again.' Fred continues. 'we visit her actually every night. so last night also. We were just having fun when the door burst open and Miss Adams... I believe her name was, came in and she was so angry. She took her wand and pointed it at George and me. Skyler jumped in and basically begged her not to hurt us. That bitch didn't listen and created a cut on Skyler's cheek. Skyler told us to go so I left first but when George wanted to leave. Miss Adams hit Skyler with the Cruciatus curse...' Fred ends his story. I look at the faces of my parents my father looks concerned. But my mother... she looks furious. I suspect a speech about our irresponsibility but inset of that she stands up 'come Arthur we need to go there get dressed.' 'molly we can't just go there 'Why not?!' 'what is your plan? take her here? We can't just take her that is against the law.' 'then what do we need to do Arthur?! Just let that pig abuse that little girl?! Is that what we need to do?!' 'Molly calm down a bit.' Dad tries. 'I will send a letter to Dumbledore he will know what to do.' Mom nod. 'I give him two hours to respond otherwise I'm going there on my own.' Dad sighs but nods. 'oke dear' mom now looks at us. 'you two. Just take a nap if we know more then we will let you know.' We nod 'thank you mom' Fred says. She smiles. 'now go upstairs' we nod and walk to our bedroom. Fred let himself fall on his bed and falls asleep directly.I take a seat on my bed but don't feel sleepy. I'm worried that for what that bitch did to Skyler. It feels like an hour has passed while the only thing I do is staring at the ceiling. The sound of the ticking clock and Fred's snores are interrupted by my mom who opens the door.'Fred...? George...? Honey?' she asks quietly. I site up. 'do you have news?' I ask while Fred is waking up slowly. She nods 'Dumbledore told us to get her here as soon as possible so your father and I are going 'we want to come!' Fred and I say. Our mother thinks for a moment but then nod 'okay get dressed and come down.' She leaves the room. Fred and I never got dressed so quickly. We run downstairs and our parents are already waiting. We walk to the ford and dad starts to drive to London. I look through the window the city is coming closer and closer. 'where is that orphan house actually?' dad asks when we reach the outskirts of town. ' to the right.' Fred and I say in synchronic. Fred and I lead dad to the orphan house. The cars stops when dad parked it. We all get out and mom rings the doorbell. A man opens the door I look at Fred who shakes his head. He also has no idea who the man is. 'good morning how can I help you on this blessed day?' the man asks friendly. 'hello we are looking for Skyler Mckinnon.' ' I'm sorry Mrs but I don't know a Skyler Mckinnon.' ' well, that is strange because for what I know Skyler lives here when she is not in school' mom answers. I see a woman walking upstairs she looks angry. That is when it hits me that is Mrs Adams. I sign Fred and nod in her direction he looks at me with a kind of panic in his eyes. We hear a door being slammed. I look at Fred. I try to focus on the sounds that are coming from upstairs which is difficult because my mom has a conversation next to me. When the man stops talking for a few seconds we can hear screams coming from upstairs. Screams of pain. I look at Fred 'that's Skyler' I say. We both push the man out of the doorway and run upstairs. Our parents stand still for a moment before following us. I push the door to Skyler's room open. There she lays wounds all over her body. Blood all over her clothes. She is screaming in pain before she passed out. 'STOP IT' I yell at MrsAdams who is still using the Cruciatus curse on Skyler. Mom and dad come running into the room. 'Expelliarmus!' dad yells and he catches Mrs Adams wand. I run towards Skyler's body. I kneel down next to her and I place her head on my lap. 'Sky-... Skyler... wake up.' Mom kneels down next to me and says some spells to stop the bleeding. 'come George we are gonna take her home.' she spoke softly. I look up at my mother and nods. Dad walks toward Skyler to pick her up but I shake my head. 'no I'm gonna carrier her.' Arthur looks at his son and the girl and a mixed feeling of pride and worries engulfed him. Worries because the girl's status seems critical and proud because his son is taking responsibility for her like a true gentleman. 'George isn't this her eminency backpack?' Fred asks while pointing out a bag in the corner of the room. ' yeah it is.' Skyler once told us that she always had a backpack ready with necessary things just in case. Fred takes the bag and Skyler's leather jacket she always has it with her. We walk down and mom starts an argument with Mrs Adams. 'Molly dear it is time to go' dad says and try to pull her with us. We get in the car and drive back home. Skyler's head lays on my lap while her legs are laying on Fred's lap. I look at her. I can count several bruises on her body. I brush a strand of hair from her face behind her ear. Her lip is bleeding just like the wound on her cheek and the one approve her eyebrow. 'she is gonna be okay George' I hear Fred say. I nod slowly. 'I know, she is so strong.' I smile weakly. Why does it hurt so much? I wish I was her. I could take over her pain. Dad stops the car. He opens the door for me so I can step out with Skyler in my arms. 'George honey, I think it is best if you put her in bed. Maybe you can lay her in Bill's old bed or-...' 'no I will lay her in my bed' mom nods. We walk upstairs and I lay her down in my bed. Mom takes out her wand to clean Skyler's wounds. 'George, can you search for some clean clothes?' I nod I walk to my closet. I take out one of my joggers and one of my old quidditch t-shirts. I place it next to my mom. 'there you go.' She smiles. She says a spell and the clothes switch. Her bloody clothes are now laying on a pile next to the bed and Skyler is wearing my clothes.'I think it is the best to let her rest George.' 'I will stay here in case she wakes up.' 'okay'  my mom leaves my room while I take a seat on Fred's bed. I look at Skyler. Even in this state she still makes me feel butterflies in my stomach.
