Angel eyes - George Weasley X Reader

part 81

seeing theodore nott, the life and soul of every event, so empty was an abominable feeling which could be felt in every corner and inch of malfoy manor. i still had no idea of why i was there but under the recent circumstances, there was no way i was going to ask around. this was theo's time, all of our time, to mourn the loss of our enthralling luna.

there was a certain era around the mansion the following few days, a certain dysphoria. not many of us had left our rooms, we all hung out in one together; apart from theo, he stayed by himself, closed off from the world. i thought about lee a lot, fred and george too. george. was he looking for me? had he made any interrupted attempt to get to me? i couldn't have known.

it was so lonely without y/n, it wasn't cheerful. none of us had realised how much joy she brings into our world. she's the sun, our sun. draco and his mother had come into the joke shop and told us everything that had happened. i felt horrible for leaving her and not going to find her; i regret it now. a lot. is she going to hate me? is she going to hate george? what about fred? i was going to get her back. we were going to get her back.

toby left to get her and i prayed for them everyday he was gone. the rest of us tried to busy ourselves but it was no use. y/n was always on my mind.

george was different. i hardly recognised him anymore. he hardly got out of bed anymore and when he did he was out all day and wouldn't come home until late at night. at first, he would be in the joke shop to take his mind off of the fact that his fiancée was gone but now, he doesn't bother turning up.

" i can't explain right now, just stay with me " draco breathed as he dragged enola and myself through the multiple hallways of malfoy manor. " draco please " i pleaded as he shoved us into a room and rushed in after us.

" we've found a way to get you both out ".

the words that came out of his mouth deafened me as i stood there. i couldn't process them, this manor was practically impenetrable to us teens. " w- we? ".

" yes sweetheart, we " a soft voice came behind us. enola jumped as she was frightened but soon ran over to the source. " auntie cissy ".  " listen, i've set up an unauthorised portkey. it will take you to shell cottage on the outskirts of tinworth. bill and fleur weasley currently live there, i've let them know you shall be arriving there shortly " the mother explained. " no one else knows, just us and no one else will find out " draco mumbled as he walked over and wrapped his arms tightly around me. " you need to go, you'll be safer there than what you are now. i'll see you soon " he said as he cupped my face and stroked my cheek. " come on ".

" where are we going? " enola asked as i walked towards her and mrs malfoy. " we're leaving, darling ". enola wasn't stupid, she knew what was going on. " will we be safe there? ". she peered up at draco before he crouched down in front of her and hugged her, whispering inaudible things into her hair.

" it was lovely seeing you, keep yourself safe. i'm sure we'll meet again soon " narcissa hugged me goodbye as i nodded.

the air was salty and sharp wind whipped through my hair. i stood on the beach, enola holding onto me tightly, overlooking shell cottage. the view of this stretch of land was breathtakingly beautiful.

shell cottage was an extraordinary place. it had a rough thatched roof, a simple pattern of bricks coaxing for the outside walls and lots of windows looking out onto the shore.

" i'm cold " enola mumbled against my sore skin as i wrapped my arms around her tightly and lightly rubbed circles on her back. " it's okay " i whispered as i began making my way up to the cottage. " oh merlin " i heard a hoarse voice say before i looked up at met charlie's eyes. tears instantly stung as i lowered enola to the ground before charlie and i pulling each other into a tight embrace. " oh my gosh " he whispered repeatedly as i began to cry into his shoulder.

" i've got you, you're okay. you're safe ".

charlie led me inside as bill had enola. he sat us down at the kitchen table and made me tell him everything. the manor, toby, luna's death and even george. all he could do was just sit there and listen; we all knew that there was nothing anyone could do or say to change anything and make it better, and that was okay. i had begun taking everything in my stride, no matter what was thrown at me.

" okay well that's enola in bed for the time being " i sighed as i walked down the stairs and sat with charlie, bill and fleur at the table again. " you can stay for as long as you like " fleur said as bill agreed. " or you can even come to romania with me, i think you'd like it there. your area of expertise, isn't it? care of magical creatures " charlie spoke. " yes but not dragons " i laughing lightly as a smile lit up his face.

we were in mid conversation when suddenly there was a commotion outside; lots of cracking sounds filled the air as charlie jumped up to check it out. " oh! i forgot to tell you! the rest of the- ". bill was cut off as the front door swung open but all the people came to a halt as the first person set eyes on me. charlie came and stood by me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder protectively as if to keep me safe.

" y/n ".
