Y/N had got an owl from George the next day telling her that Harry had a vision about Mr.Weasley being attacked and he indeed was by a snake. He was now at St.Mungo's. All of the Weasley siblings and Harry were immediately sent to the headquarters at midnight by a portkey. Mr. Weasley's condition was stable at the moment and that the family were all together and safe. He had also requested her to join them on Christmas , to which she had said yes. She and Hermione had decided to go to 12 Grimmauld Place and canceled their respective plans with their families.  Marc, Val and Al were to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas because their family was in hiding and Fi was more than happy to accompany them. "I really want to be with you guys. But, I have already said-" "When did we become so formal? Weasel needs you and I am not that bad as you people have painted me to be. Now, off you go." Val said . Y/N hugged her and the other two joined. They wished each other "Merry Christmas" and Y/N left with her trunk. Hermione and her arrived at the headquarters by the evening of that day. She had abandoned her trunk in the hallway and had pratically sprinted into George's arms at the sight of him. "How are you?" her muffled voice came from the crook of his neck."Better now that you are here,love." "I love you,Georgie." "I love you too,honeybunch".

This Christmas day had been nothing short of a box full of surprises for them.The lot of them had visited Mr. Weasley at St.Mungo's at Christmas. She had gifted Mr.Weasley a Walkman. He was elated to hear Muggle music for the first time. They learned that Mr. Weasley was attacked by Voldemort's snake and that Harry and Voldemort's heads shared a connection, all thanks to the Extendable Ears. They had discovered that Lockhart was now a permanent resident of St.Mungos' after his memories were wiped clean down in the Chamber of Secret as Ron's faulty wand had backfired his own memory spell on him. They also met Neville's family. Y/N felt very sad for the poor boy. Bellatrix Lestrange had tortured his parents to madness and they too were in the mental ward , same as Lockhart.  Voldemort  and his death eaters had broke many families apart and Y/N became even more resolute to resist him and his supremacist ideas. "Since when are you having these.....dreams?" asked Y/N sitting on George's lap ,as all of them were gathered in Hermione, her and Ginny's bedroom at Grimmauld Place. Harry looked up and hesitated," It started this-this summer.After what happened in the graveyard , I dunno...." Y/N nodded. "Children, it's time for bed . No further discussions, off to bed everyone. Fred, George walk to your rooms like normal human beings." came Mrs.Weasley's voice from downstairs. "That's the point we are not normal." They said in sync. Y/N laughed. "Good night, Georgie" "What? You are coming with me." George said seriously. "No. What if your mum sees us?" she argued. "She''ll be long gone before we wake up and besides, I don't care." He kissed her forehead and apparated them to his and Fred's room. "Seriously?" She huffed. "Don't even wanna waste a millisecond without cuddling you." He said innocently and Y/N pecked on his lip. "No funny business, you two. Now, night." Fred was already in bed. Y/N chuckled as she and George got into bed. He pushed her into his chest with his strong arms around her waist and back. "I love you, Y/N." He whispered into her hair. "I love you too, Georgie." She kissed her chest.

Ten Death Eaters had escaped Azkaban and the Ministry had blamed Sirius for that. They still were in denial of Voldemort's return. At Hogwarts, Umbridge had tightened her controls by  issuing decrees after decrees to curb the freedom of both  students and teachers alike. She had sacked Trelawney from her post and was after Hagrid's job too. Their DA meetings were called often now, after the news of the mass breakout. Seamus Finnigan had finally come to his senses and had apologized for being a git .He had requested to join the DA.It was the twins' eighteenth birthday today and also they were to learn the Patronus Charm at the meeting today. Y/N was excited. "We'll go to the kitchens after the lesson. I have a surprise for you birthday boys."Y/N told Fred and George. "I cannot wait."Fred hugged Y/N. " Is my surprise the same as him? I was expecting to get something special to eat tonight." George winked at Y/N. It took a moment for her to realize. She blushed badly and smacked George's arm. "Didn't need to hear that." Fred shrugged and moved away a little. Harry's voice broke up their little chat session. "Today we will be learning the Patronus Charm.Now, I don't expect you all to conjure up a full body Patronus at one go. It had taken me months to do that. But, try as hard as you can.Make it a powerful memory, the happiest you can remember.Allow it to fill you up." He went around the room helping people. Y/N had tried to produce this before, but had never gone beyond a strong silvery shower. She clutched her wand and closed her eyes, searching for memories that made her the happiest. She grinned broadly and - EXPECTO PATRONUM- She opened her eyes to find a big silvery Polar Bear darting away from her. "Well done, Y/N." Harry patted her back. "George, your turn now." George said the incantation and a silvery Magpie flew out of his wand . Fred and George had the same Patronus. Hermione, Ron, Cho,Ginny , Luna,Val and Fiona had also managed to produce  full corporeal Patronuses.

 "What memory did you choose?" George asked curiously. "The moments just before Yule Ball. You , me ,the gang. I was so happy that day. We were all together and excited and my life felt so good at that particular moment." Y/N smiled up at George. "What memory did you-" She was cutoff when the room started to vibrate and George immediately caught hold of her hand. The room shook again. All of them stood with the wands to the ready. There was a boom and the mirror on the wall opposite to them came crashing down. George lunged infront of Y/N shielding her protectievly. Harry and a first year walked slowly towards the wall. But, Harry dragged the first year back just before the wall burst into pieces . Once the soot and dust were settled down, Umbridge and her Inquisitorial Squad came into view. They had been caught. Cho's friend Marietta had ratted them out. Fred and George grabbed Y/N's hand and ran out of the room. The others were running around too, trying to flee from the group. Unfortunately Umbridge caught hold of Y/N. "Ms. Y/L/N, I warned you. Meet me in my office in the evening. I'll deal with you then. I have some serious business to attend to now." She said with an evil glint in her eyes as she held Harry by his collar in her other hand. She trotted down the the stairs as George held Y/N protectievly in his arms. "You are not going. Understood?" he commanded. "I have to." Tears fell down from Y/N's eyes as she buried her face in his chest.
