Mischievous Glint | George Weasley

Chapter 48

We were geting ready for Bill and Fleur's wedding. Hermione, Ginny and I were upstairs changing and getting our makeup done. I did Hermione's hair and Ginny's did my makeup. Ginny left downstairs as we continued to get dolled up.

"Hermione where'd you keep your hair clip from yesterday? Can I borrow it?" I asked holding up my hair.

"Sure. I remember keeping it at the kitchen table." She replied as I let go of my hair letting it bounce down.

I went downstairs to saw George creeping in the kitchen. I walked up behind him and saw Ginny and Harry in a deep kiss. I looked at George as he put the end of his toothbrush inside his bandaged ear letting the other part stick out. I quietly grabbed the hair clip from the table and the mere sound of George picking up his cup was enough to draw them apart. I glanced at George and saw him holding his cup up to his lips.

"Mooorning." George winked at them as we both smiled cheekily at them.

Ginny looked at me then before walking the other way leaving Harry behind. He however backed away and left. George turned his amused gaze at me then we burst out laughing after seeing how embarrassed they were. As our laughter died down, I stared outside through the kitchen window.

"Quiet day, innit?" George spoke up.

I simply hummed in response.

"Can't believe he's getting married despite being ugly." George said and earned a light punch in his arm.

"Not everyone loves someone for their looks." I said.

"I've already chosen someone for me. But I heard that she doesn't seem trust me enough to love her till the end." George said clearly indicating the 'she' to me.

"Perhaps she has trust issues. She might've seen other couples loving then leaving or hurting other and that's why she's afraid." I glanced at him giving him a side smile.

Two can play at this little game.

"If she gives me one chance then I can prove it to her that I'm not the one to hurt the person I love."

Oh my... he loves me?

We stared at each other again before I let out a sigh.

"She'll give you a chance one day... perhaps she wants to see how long you wait." I said before going back upstairs.

"I will wait for her. No matter how long it takes." He said as I looked back and gave him a smile befoe climbing up the stairs.

After a while, when we were finished, Hermione was called downstairs to speak to the minister of magic. It was almost time for the wedding of Bill and Fleur. The ceremony itself was extremely beautiful. Fleur wore a feathered dress with hints of black in it. The vows were exchanged and after that everyone was dancing and enjoying the moment of peace. But that peace didn't last long.

We heard a sound of something flying through the air at some power. A flash of blue flew through the sky and landed inside the tent. It was a blue orb floating in the middle and began to speak.

"The Ministry has fallen. The Minister of magic is dead. They're coming. They're coming."

The orb dissapeared and everyone started to panic and scatter. Black clouds of smoke began to attack the tent. George immediately ran up to me and took a hold of me to help dodge the spells fired from the Death Eaters. At a distance, I heard Hermione calling me. I looked at George to see him already looking at me.

"I have to go. Take care of yourself and everyone." I quickly pecked his cheeks and ran to her as he tried to ran after me but was held back by Fred whereas Harry tried to save Ginny. Ron ran into us and Remus pushed Harry towards us. As soon we all touched Hermione's hand, we all apparated out of the tent.

The four of us had apparated in front of an oncoming bus. We held against a railing of the muggle street. The street was bursting with muggles as we breathed heavily. They were all oblivious that four teenagers just apparated out of nowhere. Hermione moved her head in the direction of the busy street. The rest of us followed her. We were still wearing our wedding attire. Hermione led the way as we followed her. Our speedy walks cleared any person who was in our way.

"Where are we?" Ron asked panicking.

"Shaftbury Avenue. I used to come to the theater with mum and dad. I don't know why I thought of it, it just popped in my head."

Hermione then took a turn on the road and made our way to an alley. Then she began to fumble with a bag which she had been carrying for a while.

"We need to change." She said stepping off to the side.

She handed me the bag for me to hold it wide open. I did and she splunged her hand inside shoulder deep in it.

"How did you make it work like that?" I asked.

"An undetectable extension charm."

Hermione then handed me my outfit. It was (your chosen outfit).

"Not the fanciest I know. Just picked the first thing I found in your trunk." Hermione said as I shook my head.

"Don't worry about that. I'm glad you chose this." I grinned.

After changing we went to a small coffee shop. Thankfully the shop was empty. We sat on a table as the waitress came over to us taking our orders. Hermione ordered a drink for her and we all decided to have the same.

"Oh god..." I whined.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked.

We were going to celebrate your birthday. Ginny, Hermione and I even baked a cake." I huffed.

"Oh my god... I'm so sorry, Harry." Hermione gave a sad look as Harry shrugged.

"Look, I appreciate it but don't bother now. If I stay alive then I'll have a next birthday." Harry smiled as we reciprocated.

"So where do we go from here? Leaky Cauldron?" Ron asked.

"No." I said immediately.

"It's too dangerous." Hermione added.

"If the ministry has been taken over by him then we can't go to any old places. That'll be too predictable." I said.

"What happened to the wedding then?" Harry asked.

"Everyone will have gone into hiding." Hermione replied as Harry gave a frustrated sigh.

Then we heard the bell on the door ring amd saw two men entering the shop and stood on the counter at the front. I watched them carefully. Something seemed off about them. Then I saw them started to withdraw their wands from their pocket. I reacted quickly firing a spell from my hand as the others took out their wand.

"Take cover!" I shouted as Hermione fired spells rapidly.

The things on the table flew off in different directions creating loud bangs. I shielded Hermione, Ron and Harry with my hand pointed at their direction. A green protective sheild covered them. Then I stood up to send another hex at them. This time I took out my wand and finished one off with Petrificus Totalus. Hermione stood up then paralyzed another one off.

The waitress came back with her headphones on with no idea what had just happened. Horror spread over her face as she saw the mess in front of her.

"Go! Leave!" Hermione ordered as she ran off, scurrying off out of sight.

We inspected the two unconscious figured lying on the floor.

"This one's Rowle." Harry said.

"And this one is Dolohov. I recognize him from the want posters." Ron added. "So what do we do now?"

"If we kill them, they would know we were here." Harry inputed.

"It's better If we wipe out their
memories. Hermione, would you do me the honour?" I sarcastically said trying to cheer them up.

Hermione smiled cheekily as she stepped forward and wiped the two men's memories.
