Angel eyes - George Weasley X Reader

part 85

flash and green. that's all i remember seeing. the lifeless eyes of the one i so dearly called my love, my fiancé, my lifelong partner, staring at me as we dropped to the floor.

george's face drained from colour as a frown scarred his face. there was no light in his eyes anymore; they didn't have the sparkle i was so used to seeing in them- the angels.

i was screaming. i knew that. i could feel my throat burning as i let out all my body would allow. he couldn't be gone, not yet. we still had our whole lives ahead of us. our wedding, our children, a happy life.

we couldn't have that now. it was all taken away from me in the blink of an eye. my world had come crashing down on me and i couldn't do anything to stop it.

my brain had gone fuzzy and my vision had gone black.

the sound of sobbing filled my ears and i became aware of a pressure on my chest. light blinded through my eyelids but i soon adjusted and managed to open them.

the first thing i saw was george laying next to me, facing me but with his eyes closed. next to him, fred was the same. my eyes immediately began to water.

i looked at my chest and blearily saw charlie. the weasley family were surrounding us; ron crying to fred, ginny crying to george and charlie crying to me. 

i weakly managed to lift my arm and lay it over charlie's back. he gasped and his head shot up to look at me. he pulled me upright and cradled me into his chest, both of us beginning to cry even harder. i felt mr weasley come and sit the other side of me, wrapping his arms around the both of us.

my heart was on fire. i had never felt pain like this before. the cruciatus curse didn't even come close. it was worse than torture. my chest was tight and i was struggling for breath. my body seemed to erupt in a painful explosion pins and needles, but the worst kind. i could no longer feel charlie or mr weasley's touch. it was just me in front of george's body. 

i looked up and saw harry there. it was over. voldemort was dead. we had won, but then why did it feel like we had lost? i mean, in a sense we had lost. everything we held most fear to us was lost. but on the other hand, there was no war. the dark lord was gone for good. never to come back. 

i was aware of charlie pulling me up to stand with him as we grouped together with the rest of his family. i had just managed to get my bearings when i saw bodies laying a few feet over. remus and tonks. the breath hitched in my throat as a new wave of pain washed over me. 

i shook charlie off of me and ran to go to remus. 

" remus! remus no! " i sobbed.

i collected myself together as the weasley family and i sat huddled around a table; myself under the protective arm of a certain dragon obsessed redhead. i heard someone call me name as i looked behind me and saw enola snuggled up in a blanket in draco's arms with blaise and theo either side of him. 

my heart leaped as i got up and made my way over to them. " a little birdy told us that she wanted you " theo said grievously as he wrapped his arms around me and held me for a while in a tight embrace. 

after theo had let me go, blaise did the same thing. " i'm so sorry. we're all here when you need us " he whispered as he held me a bit tighter. 

draco gently woke up enola as she lifted her head and smiled at him before looking around and letting her eyes set on me. i held my arms out for her as she took a moment to take in her surroundings. " mummy! " she cheered as draco handed me to her before she wrapped her arms tightly around me neck. i was stunned. 

she just called me mummy. 

my heart pounded as i looked up at the boys with my mouth open slightly. theo had his hands over his mouth as draco looked stunned but with a huge smile on his face. " oh my god! " he screamed in a girlish manner before running at us and picking us up to spin around. blaise and theo cheered and high-fived as draco placed me back down. 

" come sit with us " i said quietly as i led them over to our table. mrs weasley got up and hugged all three of them individually, paired with a motherly kiss on the cheek. 

i re-joined charlie's side as he asked me what the excitement was about. " enola called me mummy, isn't that right honey " i exclaimed as she nodded and climbed into charlie's lap. " where's daddy and uncle freddie? i miss them " she asked, cluelessly. 

" you wont see daddy and uncle freddie for a while honey, not for a very long time " i replied.  " where have they gone? ". " do you remember when your mummy and max got injured? ". she nodded. " well the same thing happened and- ". " so they're in heaven? ". 

" yes, sweetheart. they're in heaven ".
