Without you ( George Weasley x Reader )

Chapter 17

Y/n's POV:

" yes George I promise I'm fine" I reassure him when they all come and collect me.

" well you seemed pretty shaken up" he says as he helps me walk down the few steps although I don't need it.

I giggle, " you looked more shaken up than me" I tell him.

" on the bright side, you got front row seats" Fred teases, we all laugh.

" wait if you're feeling fine then why aren't you coming with us?" George asks.

" I have a meeting with Dumbledore" I tell him.

They all look confused and before I ask I tell them, " I don't know why either"

" you don't even go here" Lee says like he's already made up his mind that it's a bad thing.

" yeah we know Lee" George is quick to say, he has been really happy lately as I have been, maybe it's because we've both forced ourselves to forget that I'm going back soon.

" well I shan't be late"

" that's a first" George mumbles, I lightly push him and he grins.

——————————————

" you wanted to see me sir?" I ask as I walk in, it feels odd being here in his office, in my Beauxbatons uniform.

" yes, y/n please, help yourself" he says pointing to a seat.

I take seat anxiously but then I remind myself I shouldn't be anxious, he can't tell me off, right? I have my own head master.

" are you close with your father y/n?" He asks.

I'm taken back with his sudden question.

" forgive me, it appears that your father has tried to reach out to you multiple times and he's now came to me"

He's left me alone for 6 years, why can't he continue?

" I'm sorry that he's bothered you sir"

The way Dumbledore looks at me is as if he already knows my troubles, my concerns, what my father wants. But with no evidence, and me not speaking up, he can't do anything.

" he wants you to transfer back to Hogwarts"

An uneasy mixture of emotions flood me as I take in his sentence, at first I'm excited but then I go sad, Beauxbatons is my home.

I shake my head, " why? What's the point? I only have one year left"

" why he's so desperate for you to be here I do not know, but I think you do... and if you tell me, I can help you" he says like he means it.

I have my suspicions on why my dad wants me here.

" he hasn't told me why" I say.

Dumbledore relaxes and sits back like he's not done grilling me yet.

" do you think you know why?"

I take a few deep breathes through my nose that I'm sure he can see my chest movement rapid.

If I spit this out maybe it can all be handled or maybe he'll get revenge on me.

" I don't know" I say but it's not convincing.

" help is given to those who ask for it" he reminds me once more.

" I don't want to move back here" I admit.

" why?" He asks.

" I want to be as far away from my father as possible"

Dumbledore nods like he's worried.

" what I'm concerned about is you having no family in France, where will you go?"

" I'll... I'll get a job"

" your determination is admiring" he tells me.

His eyes sparkle in a positive way like he's lifting the mood.

" I couldn't help but notice you seem particularly close with Mr Weasley"

" George?"

He smiles, " perhaps he's someone you can consider talking to"

I turn it down straight away, then I go to let myself out but Dumbledore seems eager to help me out in some way possible as he tells me to seat.

" I think George would be flattered if you were more vulnerable with him... I see the way he looks at you, everyone does"

Can't believe I'm blushing in front of someone who's like hundred years old.

" I don't like piling my troubles on others"

" sometimes it's what you need to build a stronger bond"

I'm not winning this one.

" maybe you're right" I say desperate to leave.

He sees through me and knows I'm only agreeing to escape, as he says no more and gives me permission to leave.
