Until The Very End.

The Album.

"I'm sorry that happened. She didn't mean it love" George comforted me later than night while we were lying in bed.

"It wouldn't surprise me if she did, but that wasn't the Emily we know. The alcohol was just doing the talking for her" I sat up and looked at him properly.

"We should go and pick up Teddy tomorrow. He can't stay with Andromeda forever can he? Besides, your mum wants him to stay with us."

"Shit, yeah we do. We'll go first thing tomorrow morning" I nodded and leaned backwards into his arms "You think I should go and check on Emily?" I asked, looking up at him.

"Going now will only escalate things, let her sober up and get some rest, check on her tomorrow" he rubbed my arms and held me close.

"Right" I nodded and turned my head back around. George found himself playing with my hair until he fell asleep. I was restless so I snuck out of his arms, pulled on my robe and crept out of the bedroom, closing the door behind me.

I switched the lamp on in the dark living room before walking over to the TV cabinet, and finding the photo album of my mums that I have kept for years and years. Some photos from before we went to Hogwarts, during our time there and after. I had every captured moment printed off, all in this one book. My mum started it, and then after she gave it to me I added more. I quietly closed the cabinet door and walked over to Millie's room. I opened the door slightly to see her sat in bed, wearing Fred's old quidditch shirt and watching TV.

"Do you mind?" I asked her with a smile.

"Not at all. Come in" she sighed and opened the quilt so I could get in "What's that?"

"I thought you'd want to take a look" I smiled and placed it in front of us both.

She raised an eyebrow and looked at the cover for a moment before finally opening it to the first page. The first photo made her laugh when she saw it. It was me and her when we were five years old, dressed up for Halloween. She was a cat and I was a skellington.

"Oh god no" she laughed at it "I remember that "Our first proper Halloween party"

I turned the page to reveal another Halloween photo, Millie and I still in our costumes. But we were photobombed by two little boys behind us, one of them dressed as a jester and the other as a pumpkin.

"Wait, is that?" I gasped, turning the book slightly to get a proper view.

"Fred and George?" she laughed at the page.

"So we did know them before Hogwarts after all" I crossed my arms.

We flicked through the pages for ages until we reached some we took at the Yule Ball. But there was none of just Millie and Fred. She looked disappointed but didn't say anything. I looked under on the back page and found a loose photo that I took of them dancing together. I handed it to her and she just smiled slightly.

"I had no idea you took this" she laughed.

"I meant to give it to you way back when, but I forgot. It's yours now though" I smiled at her.

"Thank you, really" she sighed and leaned over, resting her head on my shoulder.

"No need to thank me. How are you feeling?"

"Emotionally drained. I miss Freddie" she gulped as her voice shook slightly, holding back tears "I really miss my baby"

"We miss him too love, but he's still here with us. He's always with us"

"Andy if you're trying to make me feel better then it isn't going to work" she sniffed and wiped a few tears that had dripped down her cheeks.

"Jesus Emily, hang on" I rushed out of the bedroom and over to mind to check on George. He was out like a light, not waking up anytime soon. I got back to Millie and handed her coat.

"Where are we going?" she asked, putting it on and zipping it up.

"To see Freddie" I held her hand tightly.

"What?" she managed to fit in before we apparated to the demolished school, and appeared in the dungeons.

"Again, what?" she repeated herself.

"I'm taking you to see Freddie" I also repeated myself and turned her around to face what was the Mirror of Erised.

"Oh no Andy don't make me do this, I can't do it again" she tried to run away but I stood beside her and held her hand.

We both looked up into the mirror and we saw Fred's reflection beside Millie, with his arm around her. But George was there too for both of us. It was the four of us all together again, just like it was for the past ten years. And now it was only three.

"I want him home Andy. I need him home, with me" she cried.

"I want him home too, more than anything" I broke into a quiet sob and squeezed her hand tighter.

"I love you Freds, I wanted to protect you. But my stupid fucking mother killed you. She spared my life because I was her daughter, but killed the person that meant the most to me. It should have been me. It should have fucking been me!" She then screamed, ran up to the mirror and began pounding her fists onto the glass, harder and harder every time.

"Emily stop this! You're going to break it!" I sobbed and tried to pull her back but she wouldn't let me.

"I want my boyfriend back! Give him back to me!"

Millie's POV

I punched and punched until the mirror eventually smashed to pieces, my heart hoping and praying that Freddie would be on the other side of it. But the only results I got was pieces of glass scattering around the floors, and piecing my hands and arms. The pain shot up my armms like fire. I seemed to cringe as it exploded in my head with a blinding whitness. I made me dizzy, and it made me reel. The pain was like needles that had been dipped in alcohol had been jammed through my skin, like my arm had been replaced with ice and electricity wired straight into her spine.

I let out a loud shriek as I collapsed backwards, Andy catching me in her arms suddenly before I could hit the floor.

"Jesus Emily I told you to stop!" she panicked and brushed most of the glass out of the way with her hands, accidentally cutting herself in the process but she took no notice. She put me down on the celar stone floor as she fumbled to grab her wand from her pocket.

"Shit. Ferula" she struggled but managed to wrap my arms in bandages, and used the 'episkey' spell on my hands.

"I want to go home" I whispered and looked up at her slowly.

She nodded "Me too" she grabbed my hand and we apparated back to my bedroom.

She said goodnight to me before leaving and going back to bed with George, while I lay alone without Freddie by my side. I couldn't take this anymore.
