Safe House

Fifty one

The weeks were flying by, it was now nearing the end of November, week twenty-one, this stupid baby was getting bigger, it was annoying.

I was sat on a rocking chair in the garden, going through one of the healer books, Theo and Draco were play-duelling, but every so often Theo would get bored and start tackling Draco.

Neither of them would let me join in, Theo's reasoning was for my "Safety" and Draco's was simply because it was only him and Theo.

Considering the time of the year, I was well wrapped up in layers and heating charms, snow was falling slowly and lightly.

Theodore clearly wasn't satisfied, because every twenty minutes, he was summoning a blanket and wrapping it around me.

"Are you alright, sweetheart" Ted asked me, holding a tray with only one mug on it. "Dromeda sent me out with an hot chocolate, lots of whipped cream, extra marshmallows"

"Thank you, Ted!" I smiled politely. "How are you both, I suspect enjoying a peaceful house."

"Yes, well it truly has been a while since having a house full of teenagers, your brother and Dora were always causing a ruckus, drove Dromeda mad" He chuckled.

"which brother, sorry?" I asked, sipping the hot beverage.

"Charlie, of course, If I remember rightly, him and Dora were the best of friends all through Hogwarts, he spent most holidays here, I suppose you were rather young, before moving to France and all."

"Wow, I hardly knew that they were even friends"

"Yes, well she was rather mad, when he chose to tell her he was moving to Romania a day before." Ted explained "And my daughter knows how to hold a grudge, that's for sure. Oh, who's that?"

I steered my concentration to the fields, past the fence, and the tall figure was trudging along, I squinted my eyes to get a better look, noticing a bright familiar colour on it.

I pushed the blankets off me, stepping out of the chair to get closer to the fence.

That's when I noticed who was walking past.

I ran towards the gate, grabbing the attention of my boyfriend, I sped out of the gate, Theo chasing after me, shouting questions.

"Ron! Ron!" I shouted at my brother.

He froze in his tracks, turning in my direction. To him, it must of seen I came out of nowhere.

I caught up to him as he continued to stare, eyes wide.

"Keira? Is that really you?"

"Yes!" I called "Ron, it's you!" I hugged my brother tightly, tears of joy escaping from my eyes.

He hugged me back before pausing, inching away and looked down.

"Keira, how much have you been eating?" He asked.

"Come on, we should probably go in, and you can explain to me where on earth you've been"

I turned around, linking my arm with Ron's as I steered him towards the fence, where Theo stood watching us, after realising who it was.

"I can't believe you're here, you're actually here!" I gushed.

"What the-" Ron gasped, staring at the house "But this was an empty field, I'm sure of it!"

"They have a lot of charms on the house" I grinned.

"What the hell is he doing here?!" Ron barked, clearly noticing Draco.
