Over the next 2 days I got better but my left arm and shoulder still ache when I tried to move it.

Fleur was spending some time with me upstairs and it was the first time in probably even years that we were alone. The last time that happened we were back at Hogwarts but even then we didn't spend a lot of time together because Fleur was so occupied with the tournament.

Sometimes I wished to be back in my 5th year at Beauxbatons where Fleur and I used to be together all the time no one could really stand. But we didn't care at that time. It was just us.

Fleur left this morning to visit the Burrow but since I still wasn't back in shape I stayed back, not wanting to get splinched again.

Bill was not at home most of the time as he was sorting stuff out for the Order. I heard that most of them had to go into hiding because they found out that Harry was at the wedding and that they were in close contact with him, just like me.

I still haven't heard anything from Fred or George but Fleur told me that she would be asking Mrs. Weasley today.

I felt a bit unproductive just lying here all day, looking out of the window, listening to the sound of the sea. My wand was lying on the bedside table.

I was still relieved that my hand didn't let go of my wand because I don't know if it would ever be the same if I would get another wand because I learned nearly everything about magic with my wand by my side.

The sun started to set over the beach but Fleur was still not back. She told me that she wouldn't stay away for too long but I still got worried so I took my wand from the bedside table and sat up.

A few minutes after I heard a great amount of voice coming from downstairs.

There were 2 voices but they were too muffled to recognize though I thought it was one of them male and the other one female.

I tried to get up, ignoring the pain in my arm. My head started hurting but I still opened the door poking my head out.

But the voices have died down or moved to a room that was closed. I stepped into the hallway but wasn't able to see or hear anything here too.

I decided to make my way downstairs, supporting myself on the railing. Maybe it wasn't the best idea if there would be any Death Eaters down there because I don't believe that I would have been able to defend myself at my current state.

"Y/N!" someone said as soon as I took a look into the kitchen. I didn't have time to realise who it was because I was thrown into strong hug which made me stumble backwards

"Go easy on 'er" someone said, their voice coming from the kitchen "She is not in zhe best state" the person said and I realised that it was Fleur talking.

"Sorry" the person hugging me said as they pulled away. I was able to take in their scent immediately and without having to look up I realised that Fred was the person standing in front of me.

"Fred!" I looked into his face, smiling

"I am not Fred" he said "I'm George!"

"Very funny" I chuckled

"Was worth a shot" he smiled "How are you feeling?" he asked me as he lead me into the kitchen

"Well I feel better but my arm and shoulder are hurting pretty bad especially after getting hit by a jinx and being splinched" I explained looking at my shoulder again. "But how is everyone else?" I asked curiously.

"Most of us aren't hurt at all and some may have a few injuries like that but it's really nothing much to worry about although Katie's hand broke" he explained "But it probably hit you the hardest at least that's what I thought! I was so worried about you" he said his face dropping "I just saw Bill this morning shortly before Fleur arrived! I didn't know where you are, if you are safe, if you're still hurt or you know" he sighed

"I am sorry Fred but I didn't want to return to zhe Burrow before Y/N was getting better" Fleur spoke up, apologizing

"It's not your fault Fleur! It was the right decision but I am still relieved to know that you are alright" he turned back to me after he looked at Fleur "I mean George and I had a pretty busy time too so it was kinda my fault too not staying at the Burrow"

"Is everything alright?" I asked Fred as I watched his worried face

"No not really to be honest. The last few days have been pretty though! We didn't know where you were, George and I left the shop and then-"

"You moved out of the shop?" I asked surprised and taken back.

"Yeah" Fred looked down on his cup of tea "Since the Ministry is under Voldemort's control they are looking for everyone that was in close contact with Harry. It's just not safe there anymore, in the middle of Diagon Alley" he explained

"For now we are staying at the Burrow but we don't know if it is safe! We took most of your stuff with us because we hoped that you would return after awhile" he continued

"Thank you" I told him "I don't know when I will be ready to apparate again to go back to the Burrow but I will as soon as I can" I assured him.

"No don't worry love" Fred looked at me "We know that you are safe for now and I bet Fleur won't mind the company. I don't want you to get hurt if you don't need to" he smiled "But I will visit you from now on!"

"Ugh do I want that though?" I bit back a smile

"What?" Fred looked up

"I actually thought you were for real" he sighed after he finally realised that I was only joking "I don't believe it" he started laughing "I am a bad influence"

"Yeah you might be," Fleur added with a grin.

"Maybe it's time to leave" Fred said and got up

"Wait, are you leaving already? You can stay for dinner" Fleur told Fred

"No it's fine Fleur I just wanted to check if Y/N was alright!" he assured her "I'll have to start this new thing Lee planned today" he informed us "I'll tell you next time alright? And I will visit soon" he said before he gave Fleur and me one last hug before leaving us again.
