Wand Hopping ; D.M.

Elsie Granger

We received news that Verity was arrested and then imprisoned almost immediately afterwards. Though she was the real criminal as she broke in and tried to rob the flat, I wasn't exactly innocent either.

I had stolen the elder wand from her and now I was hiding it. I quickly found out how insane it can make people.

Mr. Malfoy wanted it so badly that he hurt me.

Lorenzo would have stopped him.

Just like he did the night of the school party with Theo. Just for me to hook up with Theo a while later.

I'm a shit friend now that I think about it.

George and Fred thought up a plan to go back to the flat and run the shop. Molly was obviously hesitant as she was concerned about the dangers that would include. They stressed the fact that they would take all safety precautions.

They knew I didn't want to be cramped up in that little Burrow with their whole family.

While I stayed with the Weasley's, I didn't talk to anybody but Fred and George as it was too nerve wracking. My sister was concerned for me, but I couldn't bring myself to say anything other than a one or two word answer to her.

We arrived back at the flat and now there's only a few days until we go back to Hogwarts.

"Do you want to go back?" Fred asked.

"What choice do I have?"

"You can stay in the flat and I'll write to your professors to send you work," he comforted me.

"And what if I need help with my work? I'll be out of luck."

"We'll be here to help you, Elsie," George chimed.

"You two need to focus on running the shop more than helping me with my bloody Potions or Charms assignments."

"I'll leave you to think about it," Fred said before he left the flat to go to the shop.

The shop was a bit of a mess after being neglected for a few days so he did some basic cleaning. He swept the dust from the floor, and made it look like nothing ever happened.

George ran me a bath and we talked a bit.

"Would you ever be interested in a therapist to talk to?"

"Oh I don't know."

I genuinely didn't know.

He stayed in the flat while I bathed and made a meal for us all. I changed into comfy clothes and wrote letters to Norah and then Enzo and Draco. I kept theirs very short and sweet as I didnt want them questioning what had happened.

I didn't tell Norah about the incident either as to be completely honest, I don't ever want to tell anybody. Or at least not anytime soon.

I did tell Draco how much I missed him as I do. I miss his company and his comfort.

He wrote me back immediately which I received late that night. He expressed how much he misses me as well and his usual mean tone was somewhat gone. Draco was showing sympathy and empathy? He did question why I had left and that part seemed a bit passive aggressive.

In my reply, I simply ignored the slight hostility and replied to only what I wanted to reply to.

I talked to George and Fred over dinner about staying at the flat for another week or two to try and recover from the event, so I told Draco that.

The last line of both of our letters read,

I love you <3

I missed Draco, truly and I felt bad about leaving but you can't blame me. I was taken advantage of by his father.
