Brother's Best Friend | | Fred Weasley

•Part twenty nine

"Why did you drag me out of there, I was having fun." You said and sat on the edge of Fred's bed.

"If you were having fun, you wouldn't be trying to drown your feelings out with weed." Fred said and walked over to you, standing in front of you. "Talk to me, tell me what is wrong."

"Nothings wrong, I just got hit that was all." You said and looked up at Fred who was towering over you.

"Oh yeah? By who?" He asked.

You stayed silent trying to think of who could have hit you, not wanting him to know it was your father.

"Astrid." You lied, she was the first person you thought of.

"I can tell you are lying, Mars tell me who actually hit you and who Tyler beat up." Fred looked you in the eye.

"Fine. It was my father." You said.

"What? He's back and the first thing he does it fucking slap you?" Fred raised his voice.

"Fred, calm down. It didn't even hurt and Tyler took care of it." You told him, grabbing onto his hands. "Why else do you think his hand is all bloody?"

"True, but that doesn't make any of this alright! He abandoned his family for nothing, he can't choose when he wants to come back and when he doesn't." Fred said. "He can't do that shit to you or Tyler like you mean nothing! It's such a shitty thing to do."

"Fred, I understand you are also very pissed right now and so am I but you can't be mad at somebody who you don't even know." You stood up face to face with your boyfriend.

"That doesn't mean that he is a nice person, I know enough to realise how much of a bad father that man is." Fred raised his voice slightly.

"I know and I know how bad of a person he is, none of this is alright but it's being sorted and I'm sorry but you don't need to get involved." You told him, looking into his eyes and holding onto his hands tightly.

"I know, I'm sorry." He sighed and wrapped his arms around you, your face burying in his chest. "Both you and Ty don't deserve any of this."

"Thank you." You spoke into his body.

It was the next day and you woke up by Tyler shaking you awake. You were annoyed at him but not for long because he told you something about your father.

He was being taken away by some guards to be taken to Azkaban. Nobody knew why he was being taken away but everyone from the school was there and surrounding the arrest, you and Tyler pushed forward though.

"Dad!" Tyler called out and got everyone's attention. "What did you do?"

"It doesn't matter, son! Look after your sister for me.. please." Your father looked at both you and Tyler with a sad expression.

"You kids need to back away, now." Professor Lupin told you and Tyler but you ignored him and walked over to your father. 

He was in handcuffs and it looked like he has been crying and beaten up. He was also kneeling on the floor. He deserved every bit of it.

"My darling Marlene, take care of yourself." He said and you bent down to face his face.

"Go fuck yourself." You whispered and raised your hand to slap him across the face.

The crowd of students around you started praising you but you were just upset and angry, so you walked away with Tyler following behind you.

"Mars." Tyler said and you stopped in your tracks. "What was that for?"

"I hate him, he deserves to be locked up." You said and turned around to face your twin brother.

"I know that but there was guards there, why would you risk something like that?" He asked and took a step closer to you.

"He needs to know how I felt about him before he gets locked up, if he ever gets out then I am never going to look at him ever again." You said.

"So you finally came to you senses and realised that he is a shitty person?" Tyler put an arm around your shoulder.

"I guess I have." You said before Fred and Cora came running to you and Tyler. "Oh hey."

"Hey." Fred said and smiled when he saw you.

"What happened out there? My dad is looking for you now, both of you." Cora told you.

"Why me? I didn't even do anything this time!" Tyler complained with his hands now out at his sides.

"We all saw you kick his balls when Mars ran off." Fred said. "Let's just go, me and Mars have plans."

"We do?" You asked and Fred nodded, then everyone headed back to the ground of people including your dad being arrested still.

Your father was crouched on the floor in pain but has handcuffs suffocating his hands and wrist so he could do nothing. The guards around him were talking to each other along with the teachers, some were even signing some sort of paper work.

Professor Dumbledore, Mcgonagall and Lupin's attention were now on you four who had just joined the crowd again. Them three walked over to you four and started to talk.

"Miss and Mister Jackson, your father is being arrested as you two know. And yes, we did see you two use violence against him, so we have no choice but to give you a detention with me tomorrow after school." Dumbledore said. "He is getting a life sentence and possibly getting the dementor's kiss."

You and Tyler immediately looked at each other and back at Dumbledore. You two were both shocked, you did feel a little bit hurt but also not surprised.

"We can not give you any information as to why he is getting the dementor's kiss but you do get to know that it is very bad." Dumbledore added before turning to all of the students there. "Go back to your dorms!"
