Angel eyes - George Weasley X Reader

part 32

as soon as my feet hit the ground with ron's arms still wrapped around me with the familiar sounds of rain dancing on the window and the fire crackling in the pit surrounded me, i dropped to my knees and cried. " y/n!" i heard lee call out as he rushed over, grabbing my arm. ron dropped down with me; on his own accord, and pulled me into his chest whilst resting his chin on my head. i remember once, i was at the hospital after being tortured when i was younger and i couldn't really speak. my insides were on fire and the nurse came in and asked me to rate the pain. i help up nine fingers. later on, she came back and called me a fighter. " you know how i know?" she said. " you called a ten, a nine ". but that wasn't the truth, i didn't call it a nine because i was brave. it's because i was saving my ten. and this, this is it. the great and terrible ten. this was so much worse though. the thought of having no family left soon fell upon me as i came to the realisation that now, from this day forth; i was utterly alone. i had no one.

george rushed over as i sat up and looked at him. he furrowed his brows together and moved his gaze up to the others before it fell back to me. i shook my head and he immediately understood as i reached out and took his hand in mind, pulling us closer. he moved me over and sat me in between his legs. not saying a word as he just held me; letting me cry and scream as much i could. i have associated his smell with safety; so as long as i focus on his scent and himself- i'm safe.

harry had started to explain everything to everyone, me still in george's arms as he held me closely. when he told them i tortured bellatrix, there were a few gasps and faint cheers from dean, seamus and lee. the dreaded silence had filled the room again as harry finished; no longer having anything to say.

i had been anxious all day for harry's return. was y/n okay? is she hurt? was she going to be coming back with them? is sirius alright? these thoughts had taken over my mind. fred tried to take my mind off them by coming up with new ideas for our joke shop we're planning to run but it was no use, my mind was consumed by her her her.

it was late evening and i was getting more worried by the minute; surely they should be back be now. it was quiet in the common room- everyone had gone up to their dormitories whilst seamus, dean, lee, fred and i waited up for everyone to get back. " they've been gone all day, do you think we should tell dumbledore or someone else?" lee asked. " what if voldemorts got them? what if they need help but can't send anything? what if- y/n. y/n she's hurt, i know it " i said dropping onto the sofa. " hey no she's not. they're all fine, y/n is stronger than that mate " fred reassured, taking a seat next to lee.

it was around fifteen minutes later when they arrived by portkey. i jumped up and saw y/n in ron's arms and immediately knew that something was wrong. i drank in the sight before me. her eyes were red and puffy like her lips, her cheeks were tear stained, cuts and bruises all over her. she looked exhausted. it didn't take long before she had collapsed down to the floor and was crying into ron's arms as lee rushed over. i was conflicted; a part of me wanted to go over to harry and hit him for not keeping his promise of keeping her safe whereas the other part of me wanted to run to y/n and hold her. so that's what i did. i sat in front of her and cupped her face to move her face to look at me. her eyes lifted to mine as she sat up away from ron. it was like we communicated without words; i gave her a look, in which she understood completely and shook her head slightly- telling me that sirius had died. i took her into my arms; my heart breaking even more at every scream and sob she let her throat give.

she had calmed down a little bit and i stood up, holding out my hand to her. she glanced up at at and slowly brought her hand to grasp mine. i pulled her up and pulled her into a hug, lifting her up as she wrapped her legs around my waist. at that moment, we didn't care that the others were there. " i'll take her up to bed " i whispered as y/n buried her head into my neck. everyone either nodded or smiled as a response as i carried her all the way up the stairs. " it's alright love, i've got you " i whispered as i placed her down on her bed, sitting next to her. " come on, let's get you changed " i continued as i got her one of my jumpers; changing her into it. i took my seat next to her again. " i'm not going to push you to tell me anything okay? we don't have to talk about anything you don't want to but i'm always here for when you're ready. take your time, my darling ". she nodded as she hoarsely said " thank you ". i kissed her head and got up. " i'll be back soon, get some sleep ".

" can you stay? " she asked as i reached the door; her voice quaking at every word. " please " she whispered as she glanced at me, fresh tears still swarming her starry eyes. " of course " i replied as i walked back over to her. " want me to sleep with you?". " definitely " she replied, causing us both to chuckle a little bit. i changed and climbed into her bed with her. she took something off of her bedside table and held out ' romeo and juliet ' with a small smile on her face. i took it from her and opened it to where her bookmark was placed as she laid her head on my chest and wrapped her arm up to my neck, still crying slightly. i began reading it to her as her breathing eventually evened out and got deeper and i could no longer hear the small sniffles from her nose of feel the small tears fall into my chest; indicating she had finally fallen asleep.
