Narrator's POV:
Bellatrix screamed in anger when the group had left muttering incoherent things under her breath as she paced the room back and forth.
"Grayback If any of them are spotted bring them straight here understand?" She spat orders to the disgusting brute of a man who nodded in response smirking at her before leaving the room.
"Bellatrix a word," Draco commanded as everyone left the room, his mother looked back to him with eyes filled with questions until Lucius took her hand in his walking them both away from the scene. Bellatrix stood still in the center of the room as Draco stalked up to her she smiled almost a genuine one well as genuine as she could muster, for her nephew.
"If we are in a situation like that again regarding Aurora you will not touch her is that understood?" Bellatrix's smile dropped as she furrowed her brows in confusion.
"You still love her?" She cackled and Draco knew he'd have to choose his next words perfectly to try to convince her otherwise.
"No don't make me laugh she's nothing but a filthy blood traitor I simply meant she's mine to torture and mine to kill if it comes to it," He spat to which she replied a satisfied smirk patting his shoulder before he left the room a sigh of relief escaping his lips.

Aurora's POV:
Dobby was dead. There was nothing we could have done to save him. My heart wept for the poor elf who had seen nothing but hardship and only towards the end of his life finally seen some freedom. Once we had buried him in a worthy grave everyone else walked to the house, I was the last person to walk back deciding to sit on the beach a while longer and contemplate things.
I absentmindedly traced the words that had been carved into my skin slight stinging sensations tingling from the open wounds I thought back to what had occurred. Thinking about how Draco had protected me. Think back to the way he fought against his father's grip to get me away from the vile woman and how he rushed me to safety.
After sitting for a while I pulled myself onto my feet and began walking to the house as I got closer I noticed the door open revealing Fred. My heartbeat quickened as a smile slipped onto my lips relieved to see him after so many months and I let my feet pick up their pace as his mirrored mine closing the distance between us. When our bodies collided he lifted me up spinning me around causing a giggle to fall from my lips, as he set me back down his hands slipped down my arms one catching my injury causing me to hiss.
"What's wrong?" He asks tentatively concern laced in his voice.
"It's nothing Freddie come on let's go inside it's chilly," I smile walking past him into the kitchen area where most people were greeting Fleur and Bill.
"How is your arm feeling Aurora?" Luna asked and though I knew she had no poor intention by I sighed my eyes locking on Fred who instantly walked closer to me.
"I knew something was wrong, show me your arm Auoura," Fred commanded to which I shook my head, he took a few strides towards me closing the distance grabbing my arm and pulling up the sleeve as I wriggled in his grasp desperately trying to pull away before he could have a proper look. Though it came to no avail as I watched his facial expression change and he moved his thumb to brush the lettering causing me to whimper, I looked away not wanting to read the words again.
"Who the fuck did this?" He demanded not only looking at me but to Harry or Ron," Was it Draco?" He spat venom in his voice.
"What no of course not he helped get me here safe," I rushed pulling my arm from his grasp and holding it to my chest.
"I will not ask again Aurora who did it?"
"Bellatrix," I whispered sighing, "Where is my room I'd like to change and have a hot bath please?" I kept my voice low as I turned to Bill.
"It's-" He began before getting interrupted.
"Come with me," Fred continued ushering me to the top floor which was clearly where he had been saying. Once we entered the room he moved into the bathroom that was joined to the room and I heard him begin running a hot bath.
~~~
I wrapped my aching body in a towel drying myself off before entering the room where Fred lay on the bed reading a book. Once he heard me enter the room he lowered his book smiling at me before clambering off the bed and picking up one of his t-shirts.
"You can wear this to sleep in if you like?" I nodded as he walked up to me giving me the soft blacktop, he walked to the window at the opposite side of the room muttering a spell to dim the lights as he looked out the window. I smiled at his adorable gesture dropping the towel to my feet and slipping on his garment before muttering a charm to dry my hair and put it up in a ponytail. I walked to the bed slipping under the covers and getting comfortable looking at Fred he felt my gaze and turned to me giving me a small smile.
"Okay I'll leave you to sleep, we will be staying here a few days Harry, Hermione, and Ron are going to Gringotts in five days it takes that long for Hermione to brew the jolly juice potion." He said softly as he began moving out of the door.
"Wait Freddie can you sleep here tonight...I don't want to be on my own," I whispered. He nodded his head as he slipped under the covers, I nuzzled towards him and he placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, and at that moment I wanted nothing more than to kiss him. He'd been so kind and gentle and protective over me and Merlin's beard did his lips look kissable. So I moved my head turning to give him a quick kiss on his plump lips as I began to pull away he moved his hand to cup my cheek pulling me further into the kiss.
The kiss was tender and full of love and compassion like every single one had been longed for, he moved to kiss down my neck and sucked on spots hard enough to leave deep red marks that would stay impeded into my skin for at least a week but pulled away far too quickly for my liking when I winced in pain as I shifted my body.
"You should take it, easy princess, we have plenty of time to do these things," He smiled I nodded gratefully and shifted in his arms to get more comfortable feeling safe in the safety of his embrace.
