Re Placed (George Weasley fanfic)

Chapter 22

Tonight we have to close the shop, because Fred, George, Ron and Hermione are going on a mission tomorrow: They have to pick up Harry with the others from the order of the Phoenix. I stay home with Molly and Ginny. I am a little scared for them though.

When we come home, Hermione is on the coach with Ginny, Ron and Molly. She has a cup of thee in her hands and is crying. I sit with them on the coach to comfort her too, while wondering what could be wrong. "I might never be able to see them again" she cries out.

Then I realize exactly what this is about. She made her parents forget, just in case... "I'm so sorry" I tell her while petting her back.

"It's fine, I'll get over it." She tells me, but I know she won't, not that easily. This is something you'll never forget. And I think she knows it too, but after a bit of time the pain gets a little numbed. We have a lot of distraction and that won't go away for a while.

The next evening a lot of members from the order are in the house.

"Evening Y/N" Hagrid says to me. He greets Hermione, Ron and the rest too of course.

"It's good to see you Hagrid" I say to him.

"Good to see y'all too"

Fred, George, Ron, Hermione and Mr Weasley are prepared to go. Me, Ginny and Molly wave them goodbye, but first I say goodbye to George.

"Be careful. Don't do anything stupid" I tell him.

"I won't" he responds and gives me a kiss on my forehead. "I love you"

"I love you too Georgie" I say while holding back my tears and give him a hug.

After they left it was awkwardly silent. Molly, Ginny and I went inside and made a cup of tea while we are waiting for them to come back. Furball and Arnold were playing together, sometimes it looks like they are fighting, so we always have to keep an eye on them just in case, but it is very amusing to look at.

Almost an hour passed. "They can be here any minute" Molly says with a worried voice.

Then we hear a bang and the sound of water splashing. We run outside and it was Hagrid and Harry.

"Harry, Hagrid! Where are the others?" Molly asks.

"There's no one else back?" Harry asks while they are standing there soaking wet.

Hagrid tells us the Death eaters were there from the start and that they didn't stand a chance.

"Well... thank goodness you two are alright" Molly responds.

We take Hagrid inside, but then I hear a manly call from outside and I run to the door to see who it is. It's Lupin and Harry holding George who looks like he took a curse. A shock runs through my body not knowing what happened and what to do now.

"George!" I yell while running towards them to help get him on the couch.

Lupin grabs Harry and puts him against the wall with his wand in his face in panic and asks: 'What creature sat in the corner the first time Harry Potter visited my office in Hogwarts.' They scream at each other, but apparently Harry gives him the right answer.

I'm sitting with George, he doesn't say anything to me so I started off with "You lied to me" and he just gave me a half smile and closed his eyes again. Another loud noise is coming from outside and Lupin and Harry run outside again. After a while everyone is inside, but it's Fred and Arthur who are in a hurry to get to George first.

The first thing Fred said is: 'How are you feeling Georgie?'

"Saint like" he responds, not without difficult.

"Come again?" Fred says.

"Saint like... I'm Holy" George responds while he points at his ear and says "you get it?" I watched him smile again.

"The whole wide world of ear related humor and you go for 'I'm holy', that's pathetic."

"I'm still better looking than you" George responds.

We all get a little smile on our face again, until Bill breakes the conversation and says "Mad eye is dead... Mundungus took one look at Voldemort and disapparated."
