Forbidden Lover

Chapter Sixty Three

Artemis’s P.O.V
It has been a while since I left the Weasley’s and everyday I look at the Picture of both Fred and I every night before going to bed and it was starting to get cold outside as well and I’ve been moving every week or so since I didn’t stay in one place for very long and sometimes I would stay up most nights thinking to myself about what to do and where to go next and decided to travel the next morning until I remembered Shell Cottage that Bill offered it up as a safe house and decided to go there in the morning and when the next day had come around, I decided to Apparat there making sure that no one was around when I had done so and by the time I had gotten there, I knocked on the door and waited a few minutes as I looked around before hearing the door open for it to reveal Fleur, “Artemis. What are you doing here? I thought you were staying with William’s family at the Burrow.” she said and I sighed, “I was but I thought that it wouldn’t be safe for them if I stayed there after what happened during your wedding.” I told her before seeing Bill and Ron appear behind her, “Artemis. Bloody hell are you doing here?” Ron asked as he came up and hugged me after Fleur moved out of the way, “Thought it would be safe for your family if I left after what happened since Harry isn’t the only one Voldemort’s after.” I told him before realizing Harry and Hermione weren't with him, “where’s Harry and Hermione?” I asked him after we moved away from the hug, “we had an argument.” he said and I sighed a little, “how are they anyways? Are they alright?” I asked him, “they’re fine. How about the family?” he said, “they’re doing alright as far as I know. I wonder what it’s like considering Ginny had to go back to Hogwarts.” I said to him and he sighed as I made it inside and the both of us sat down, “who knows but I think Snape is Headmaster now or something.” he said and the both of us talked as we caught up on everything and later that night, I was helping Fleur with dinner as Bill and Ron talked to each other the entire time and both Fleur and I laughed every once and a while before she mentioned Fred, “how are you and Fred doing?” she asked and I sighed, “we’re doing fine. Although I have only written to him once since I left. I didn’t want to write often in case something were to happen.” I told her, “I don’t blame you. I probably would have thought of the same if I was in a situation like yours.” she said as I took out the plates and silverware, “can you let the boys know dinner is ready?” she asked and I nodded before walking over to the other room, “dinner’s ready you two.” I told them and the both of them got up from their seats and made it to the kitchen and we all began to eat and talk to each other.

It has been a while since I got here along with Ron and Christmas had passed and was now a new year and I was thinking about moving again as well, “hey, you look like you have some stuff on your mind.” Ron said and I nodded as he sat down in front of me, “I do. I was thinking about moving again. I don’t usually stay in one place for more than a week.” I told him, “I was thinking the same thing actually. Maybe we can leave together.” he said and I nodded, “I suppose. But we would have to separate eventually.” I told him, “I guess you’re right. When do you plan on leaving?” he said and I thought about it as I looked outside, “since it’s getting late, probably in the morning.” I told him and he nodded, “alright then.” he said and the both of us continued to talk for a while before going to bed later that night. When the next morning came around, I had gotten up and had gotten everything ready and made sure that I had everything I needed packed before making my way down stairs to see Ron sitting at the table, “I assume that you’re leaving as well?” Bill asked and I nodded, “yeah, I wasn’t planning on staying long anyways. But I appreciate you guys for letting me do so.” I told them, “it’s no problem.” Bill said and both Ron and I ate before we eventually left the Cottage and Apparated somewhere else and appeared in a wooded area, “so where are you off to now?” I asked him, “probably find Harry and Hermione.” He said, “Well, I hope that you find them safely and be careful out there alright.” I told them as we walked, “don’t worry, I’ll be alright.” he said and I smiled a little, “alright. Hope to see you again soon.” I told him and the both of us hugged each other, “see you soon.” he said before we moved away from the hug and waved at each other before we had gone our separate ways. It has been about a day or so since I left Shell Cottage and I was sitting outside the tent as I was eating some canned food that I had as I sat in front of a fire and I began to hear small things snap every so often and I looked around and quickly began to grab my things thinking that it might be Snatcher’s and once I had everything, I Apparated before standing in front of Harry, Ron and Hermione, “Bloody hell” I said before Hermione and I hugged each other, “are you alright Artemis?” she asked and I nodded as we moved away from the hug, “yeah, I’m fine. How about you guys?” I asked them, “could be worse. We went to visit Luna’s father before we were attacked by Death Eaters.” Harry said, “glad they didn’t follow you” I said to them as Ron had gone to do enchantments before we began to notice Snatcher’s appearing around us, “I think we should run.” I mentioned the, “great Idea.” Ron said before we ran for it and they ran after us and at some point, they started attacking us as well and I tried as well until both Ron and I were wrapped with chains and I fell to the ground until a few of the Snatcher’s grabbed the both of us and met up with Harry and Hermione as they were being held as well, “your boyfriend will get much worse than that if he doesn’t learn to behave himself. What happened to you ugly?” one of them said, “no, not you. What’s your name?” the same Snatcher said, “Dudley. Vernon Dudley.” Harry said to him, “check it.” he said before looking at me, “we already know who you are missy. You're Malfoy's daughter. We’ve been looking everywhere for you.” he said to me, “you can go to hell” I said to him, “and you, my lovely. What do they call you?” he asked Hermione, “Penelope Clearwater, Half-Blood.” she said to him, “there’s no Vernon Dudley on here.” one of the other Snatchers said, “did you hear that ugly? The list says you’re lying. How come you don’t want us to know who you are?” Greyback said to Harry, “the list’s wrong. I told you who I am.” Harry said, “change of plan. We’re not taking this lot to the Ministry.” the Snatcher said and eventually, we left.
