I never met Mrs. Weasley for a cup of tea...

The day before I was supposed to visit the Burrow Dumbledore was murdered and Bill was attacked by a werewolf called Fenrir Greyback.

Dumbledore's funeral was supposed to be tomorrow and even though I never really know I was still invited.

"You should still come" Fred told me during dinner

"I don't know. I mean I didn't really know him and it just doesn't feel right" I explained while I poked around with my fork in some potatoes.

"I get that but I know that Fleur needs your company! Especially with Bill getting attacked she is going through a lot! And by the way some students will be there that loathed him" George spoke up

"I get that" I sighed

"Come on Y/N, do it for me, George and Fleur" Fred suggested "It would be suspicious if you wouldn't come as well"

"I know" I sighed again "I get all of that and I know that Dumbledore was one of the greatest wizards of all time and that we should all pay him respect but I don't know, it just feels wrong"

"Don't worry I will attend tomorrow!" I added when I saw the look on Fred's face

So as the next morning arrived and the first sunlight was shining through the window we got dressed and made our way to Hogsmeade.

As we arrived after our Apparition at Hogsmeade we only had to walk a few minutes to find nearly everyone there already.

Fred and George both wore their black dragon skin jackets.

We saw Bill sat down with the help of Fleur of Mrs. Weasley. He still didn't seem to be feeling best but he looked better than what we heard he looked before.

"Why are mum and Fleur so close together and not looking as though they are ready to kill each other?" Fred wondered as we approached them

"Because of Bill?! You dipshit" I said surprised by his weird behaviour

"Woah no reason to call me out like that" Fred said but added a smirk

"Y/N!" Fleur was running to me as soon as Bill sat down and she saw me

"I missed you so much and-" she broke off as she wrapped me into a hug tears falling down her cheeks

"It's okay Fleur" I told her "Bill will be completely healthy very soon" I tried to assure her even though I couldn't be for sure.

"Thank you so much! For everything, for always being there for me when no one else was" Fleur said

"Of course!" I smiled and I saw a small smile forming on Fleur's face too

"You wanna hear the only good news" Fleurr smirked, her face still stained with tears

"Always" I smiled

"So you know how our wedding is planned for this summer right? And you always know that Mrs. Weasley never liked the idea of me being with Bill because she thought that I only loved him because he was so handsome" she looked at me and I nodded

"Well she thought that I wouldn't want Bill anymore because...because of what happened and that the wedding would be called off but then I finally told that I don't care what he looks like and that I loved him no matter what and would always find him handsome and....she seemed completely surprised at first but then she hugged me" she smiled "it was quite a weird feeling but I think that she finally accepted me"

"What? That is awesome!" I told her

"I know right" she giggled

"Y/N" Mrs. Weasley got up as she saw that Fred, George and I arrived "So good to see you again" she hugged me "I hope you're quite alright and that those two and not too annoying"

"Thank you Mrs. Weasley" I smiled "And no Fred and George are not troubling most of the time."

"That is so good to hear" Mrs. Weasley said relieved "Come on we save you seat" she directed us to 3 seats next to Fleur, Bill and Mr. Weasley

Even though I never really knew Dumbledore it was a weird feeling knowing that he was gone now.

One of the things that I always wondered when a famous or powerful wizard passed away is, if there are any dark secrets that they are hiding.

It might sound irritating at first but I believe that there is not a single person that doesn't have anything to hide.

And when it comes to famous people or powerful wizards it sometimes turns out that they are hiding some of the darkest and strangest secrets.

After the funeral ended everyone seemed to be lost in their own mind for a few minutes.

Once or twice I looked around myself while the man in the front was giving his speech.

I saw Ginny sitting next to Harry, Hermione and Ron.

Close to them were a boy and a girl, I believed to be Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom. I have never met any of them in person but seen them a few times at Hogwarts and Fred and George told me that they were part of the D.A. and were also with Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny at the ministry last year.

I spotted Seamus sitting with his mum next to Dean, who was looking at Ginny occasionally.

I saw a few other familiar faces but I couldn't always remember their name.

Most of the students made their way to Hogsmeade right after the ceremony to make sure to not miss the train back to London but a few stayed behind.

"Ginny what's wrong?" Fred asked as he spotted his little sister, tears streaming down her cheeks

"I-nothing" she replied quickly

"We all know that it's not the truth! What happened?" George asked "It's not only Dumbledore now is it?" Ginny shook her head "If it's another boy I'll make sure he won't stay alive much longer" George chuckled

"No please don't" Ginny looked

"So it is a boy! Who is it?" Fred asked looking at her

"Will you stop making it all about the boy she might be talking about?" I told Fred "Look Ginny, I hope it's alright that I call you that, if you want to tell us what happened then do so but if you don't that alright too" I smiled, trying to encourage her.

"It's fine really" Ginny wiped away her tears "It's just Harry"

"Harry?!" Fred and George said at the same time "Like Harry Potter?" Fred asked "As in Ron best friends?" George added "The famous one?" Fred finished

"No I mean Harry Smith! Of course him!" Ginny hissed at them "He told me that we should keep distant from each other so that I don't get hurt and all of that"

"I am sorry to hear that Ginny but if you look at its positive side that just means that he really cares for you" I tried to tell her

"I know but still" Ginny sighed and to my surprise she opened her arms and swung them around my shoulders.

"Group hug" Fred said as George and he swung their arms around us.
