My Weasley (Fred x Reader)

Chapter 51-The Lady In Black

I hadn't seen Fred since he flew to alert the Order. I couldn't because I was at Hogwarts and he was now working and running the joke shop alongside George. He managed to find out about Sirius and immediately sent me a letter.

Dear y/n,

I'm so sorry love. I cant begin to understand how you and Harry must be feeling at the moment. School's almost over and i'll be seeing you again soon. I really hope you're doing okay. I cant wait to see you.

Fred.

Dumbledore had been reinstated at Hogwarts and Umbridge was under inspection. I refused to attend Dinner and only ate breakfast early in the morning to avoid people. I hardly went to class for the rest of the year because I couldn't find the motivation to get out of bed. Where would I stay now? Would I go back to living with Remus?

I decided to stand up and go out for a walk in the gardens. I was still in my uniform but I didn't bother to change out of it. The weather was chilly and the skies were cloudy. I walked around the gardens for a while just to think and breathe for a moment.

I felt like I was going crazy. My dad was gone. The only parent out of the two that bothered to try. I didn't even know if my mum was alive, but if she was, I didn't want anything to do with her now. My vision became a bit blurry as tears filled my eyes.

"Hello." said someone from besides me.

I looked up and saw Atticus sitting by a tree reading a book. He saw me crying and his calm expression turned into worry.

"I-I heard about what happened." he said softly. "I'm really sorry for your loss y/n."

"Yeah." was all I said.

"May I join you?" he asked.

"Sure." I said after a while of hesitation.

He stood up and put his book in his bag and joined me. We walked around in a calm and collected silence as we took in the view of the grounds.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, breaking the silence.

"I don't know. I feel like i'm going crazy." I started. "Atticus, he was the only family I had that was good. Almost the rest are either dead or Death Eaters. He was the only person I had. I don't know what i'm going to do now."

My eyes began to water again and I reached up to stop myself from crying but he stopped me.

"It's okay to cry. Let it out."

Tears started streaming down my face and I looked down. What on earth was I going to do? Harry. Harry and I only had each other now. We are the only family we had. My heart ached terribly. I had lost my best friend, my dad.

A small sob escaped my mouth and I felt Atticus pull me into and embrace. I buried my head in his shoulder and cried. He rubbed my back comfortingly and rested his head on mine.

"You'll be okay." he said. "You'll get better y/n."

"y/n?" I heard Hermione call.

I looked up and turned back to see her and Ron standing a few feet from us. They approached us and I pulled out of the hug to wipe my tear stained cheeks.
