Mischievous Glint | George Weasley

Chapter 54

We arrived outside of my mansion known as Knight Manor. It was night time. So the the building looked dark with no light illuminating anywhere. My parents weren't home obviously. They were somewhere doing their jobs. But they knew that I was with my friends fulfilling my duties as a friend.

"Wow. This is where you live?" Ron asked looking around while walking down the path towards the front door.

"Last time I checked." I said as we walked up the steps towards the front door.

"You sure no one's gonna come looking for us?" Ron asked.

"Don't know. Pretty sure the Death Eaters think we're still on the run." I replied.

We headed in the living room and threw our bags on the sofas. I casted the 'Incendio' spell over the fire place making it light up with a roaring shapeless flame.

"We have to spend the night here or if anyone senses presence in this house then we'll be trouble." I informed. "There's food in the kitchen."

Ron nodded and what looked like, hurried to the kitchen after hearing about food. I sat there thinking about how everyone was doing in the Burrow. Especially George. I wouldn't admit it but I couldn't get him out of my mind. My thoughts were broken by Ron dropping next to me chewing his food.

"Ron?" I asked.

"Mhmm?" He hummed as he continued munching.

"Do you think everyone at the Burrow is safe?" I asked making him pause.

"I hope so... I'm sure they'll be safe." He took a deep breath. "I take it that since your parents are Aurors and they aren't home, they're checking up on my place, right?"

"Yeah that's for sure." I said while staring at the fire.

"Thinking about George?" Ron blurted out.

"What? No, I was thinking about Harry and Hermione." I lied as I flushed.

"Sure, sure. Whatever you say. He's probably crying on Fred's shoulder for you. I bet 5 sickles, he's missing you madly." Ron laughed.

"Shut up, Ronald." I blushed as the room fell silent.

"Do you wonder they're doing alright?" Ron asked breaking the silence.

"Who?" I turned my gaze at him.

"Hermione... and Harry?" He reluctantly uttered Harry's name.

"Yeah." I replied.

"You think so?" Ron asked he took a bite out of his food.

"I know so." I breathed. "You know you owe an apology to Hermione."

Ron chocked on his food, realising what he had done earlier.

"Uh... yeah. I reckon I do." He mumbled.

We woke up the last day and packed our things and made sure it was out of any prove of human contact or presence, ready to go find our friends back in the forest were they laid low.

"Ready?" I asked as he nodded. "Off we go."

We walked through the forest, looking out for any signs that Hermione would've surely left for us to find them. But sadly we couldn't find any and kept walking.

"Do you think they're still there where we left them? I mean we were here for almost a week." Ron asked.

"The might've changed the camp. I'm not sure but we'll find them. Don't worry." I assured.
