In your Dreams (G.W.)

'Your Brother'

Tonks and Y/N were at Hogsmeade for the next two days. Y/N plopped down on her bed after dinner at the Hogshead bar. They were too tired to walk to the Three Broomsticks. She covered herself up in the blanket and opened her journal to talk to George. It had been three days since they had chance to talk. However, George had already left a message for her, which was scribbled in a hurry. It took her sometime to figure it out, but when she did her blood went cold -

Hey love, Fred and I are at Hogsmeade. We were here to try and convince  Bilmes to sell us Zonko's for the thousandth time and thought would drop by  the castle to give Ron his presents. But, we just got the news that he was poisoned. We are leaving for the castle in a moment. If you are near, meet us at Rosemerta's.

Please don't worry if you can't make it. He is going to be okay.

Y/N's heart was beating in her mouth. She was suddenly all hot and sweaty. She read the journal over and over to find out if she was mistaken. But, the fact remained the same. Ron Weasley had been poisoned. She looked at her watch , it was ten minutes to ten. She jumped out of her bed, pulled over the jumper ,pocketed her wand and ran out of her room. She didn't stop until she found the boys . They were almost near the Castle gates. "Geo-rge....F-Fred...." Y/N called out to them ,panting and heaving. They stopped and turned around. George ran towards Y/N. "Hey, you didn't have to come. I told you he is going to be okay." Y/N hugged him. They stood there lke that for a moment, Y/N managing to catch her breath. "No! Are you mad? I would've apparated immediately if I wasn't already here. You are important, okay!" She frowned and placed a peck on his lips. He nodded and pulled her into him as they walked to the castle gates. Flitwick was already waiting for them. He opened the castle gates and let them in. 

Harry told them all about how everything happened in the morning. Ginny sat beside Ron on the bed, while Hermione stood beside him quietly looking pale and frightened. Y/N had never seen her like that.  "Blimey, it was lucky you thought of a bezoar," said George in a low voice. Y/N felt a pang in her stomach. She had never seen George so glum. She tightened her grip on his hand. Hagrid and Mr. and Mrs.Weasley came in as they were discussing the possibility of this attack. Hermione had raised good points and all hands pointed towards the possibility that these curses and poisons were meant for Dumbledore, but, had got to someone else before it could reach him. Madam Pomfrey came rushing and reminded her rule of only six people at a time. Y/N decided to leave and so did Hagrid, Hermione and Harry. "I am waiting outside" Y/N assured George and walked out behind the other three. They waved at Y/N and went away. Y/N was pacing the hall when she came face to face with Penny. "Hey Penn. How have you been?" Y/N hugged the girl. "Oh! Y/N- I heard you were here, so-so I came. Val-Val...." She sobbed. Y/N felt her heart drop at the sound of the name. "Penny.... Penny....What happened to her? Is she okay? Are they all okay?" Y/N started to shake Penny up. She grabbed Y/N's hand and took her into an empty corridor. "No....no, she-she is fine. But-but they killed her-her father. She sent me this just today. They are fleeing the country. I think she must be headed to Sweden to their aunt's." Penny gathered herself up. Y/N took the chocolate wrapper and read it. She was shocked. Another loved one dead, gone!  "She told me to let you and Fiona know. I didn't know how to get in touch with you. But, when I heard Ron Weasley was poisoned , I had a feeling that you would come. So I waited all day long . I-I cannot even be with her when she needs me. She must be so devastated and they don't even have time to mourn. I want to be with her, Y/N" came Penny's babbled away as Y/N pulled the sobbing girl into another hug.

"Hey are you okay? Don't worry love, he is going to be fine" George put an arm around Y/N and planted a kiss on her forehead. She wiped a tear from her eye , "Val's dad is dead. They are fleeing the country. I-I don't know when I'll see them. Oh ...." Y/N broke down. George pulled her into his chest. "Do you want me to stay with you tonight , love?" He whispered into her hair, she nodded. " First, let's get up there and calm you down." George intertwinned their fingers and started walking . They reached the Astronomy Tower after a while. The place had a calming effect to it. Y/N's problems always fizzed out the moment she stepped in here. "How are your parents?" Y/N asked as they sat wrapped in each other, with their legs dangling from the edge . "They are okay. Will stay it out here today. I'll let Fred know that I will be with you." George kissed the top of her head. "Georgie.... I am scared." "Don't be. We will get through this together." George tightened his grip around her. "What if I...." "Love!!" George said in a warning tone , she shut up immediately."I-I just don't want to leave you, like ever. I love you so much, Georgie." Y/N sobbed earnestly. "You won't. I won't let you. I love you too, my love."

They were entering the Inn when a dishevelled Tonks came running towards them, furious. "Where in the name of Merlin have you been, Y/N? I searched for you in the whole village!! And what is he doing here?" Tonks' panted. "I-I am so sorry Tonks, should've told you before I left. Ron was poisoned, so he was here to see him. I just saw my journal and decided to be with him. Is everything okay? Why were you looking for me? Tonks!!" Y/N asked. Tonks didn't look into Y/N's eyes. "DORA!! TELL ME!! WHAT IS IT??" She freed herself from George's strong grip and shook Tonks. She made herself look at her with difficulty . "There- there has been an.... an accident....and-and...." Tonks' voice trailed off. "AND WHAT? DORA!!" Y/N screamed again.  "They -they think some-some death eaters were trying to wreck havoc .... it's your-your brother...." Tonks' spoke , but Y/N stopped hearing anything after the word 'your brother' left Tonks' lips. She fell backwards and George held her , but everything went dark after that.
