The Sight Of Eternity With You

Don't Let The Light Go Out

Fred sat at the table listening to the same circular conversation they'd been having for at least two hours now, Angelina came and sat beside him with a tight smile on her face, taking his hand in hers and giving it a squeeze.

"That git is going to stay with Harper," Angelina whispered as they turned their attention to Kingsley and Lupin who were examining another pair of the shimmering vials that had appeared on the twins' doorstep.

"Minerva, can you contact-"

"There was no answer," McGonagall said coldly. "But does that matter?! Miss Johnson and Weasley have already gone through them! Certainly they would've noticed anything-"

"-That's the problem with memories, Minerva, they can be easily altered. Especially when removed during highly stressful and traumatic periods," Moody interrupted her.

Fred gave a loud sigh, running a hand over his face in dramatic fashion, "Gin and Ange have already extensively gone through them. We've had Joy examine several ones at random. They're Harper's! So give these back to that poor girl and drop it. We need to plan out getting Harry from Private Drive!"

Kingsley cleared his throat, giving a curt nod. "You're right, Fred. But we can't take these lightly, even if they are Harper's. At the end of the day these were gifted via a-"

"A double agent. That's all he was to us, he was Harper's mentor during school-maybe that actually meant something we will never know, and if he's officially on that no nose looking snake's side, then whatever. Our friend is back in our hands, we should help her navigate things rather than hold something that's owed to her."

Lupin scratched at his temple, clearing his throat, Fred quirked an eyebrow as he waited for more retaliation.

"We need to make sure the plan to get Harry is air tight," Angelina agreed, squaring her shoulders as she took her stand beside her boyfriend.

"Well the Polyjuice potion is simmering right now, should be able to add in the fluxweed soon, it's not bubbling yet but it is the desired thickness right now," Hermione nodded.

"And you're positive that you can handle brewing it?" Moody questioned, it was a rather advanced potion for a seventeen year old to be making.

Ron was about to comment when Hermione swiftly elbowed him, she nodded, "nothing I haven't handled before."

"And when Harry does get here, what will happen with Harper? It'll be much too big a liability to have both of them around," Tonks said as gently as possible.

"Romania, already contacted Charlie," Fred smiled. "The girls are going to go there first, George and I will shut down the shop and we'll be all tucked away with some dragons. It's perfect."

"Does...Harper know?" Tonks asked, quirking an eyebrow at him.

Fred gave a nonchalant nod, making a noise in response, "of course!"

Tonks and Lupin shared a look, shaking their heads slightly.

"Well, when Harper ultimately loses it about that plan. She is welcomed to stay with us," Fleur offered, glancing at Bill who gave a smile, squeezing his soon to be wife's shoulder.

"But it would be too small for the four of you, Angelina is welcomed too of course."

"No deal," Fred cut off Angelina who turned an icy glare on him. "Ange and I are a packaged deal, I won't let her outta my sight."

Angelina pursed her lips, unable to find a rebuttal, Tonks gave a slight laugh. "Just make sure someone tells Harper, I'm sure she already feels isolated as it is. We shouldn't make it worse-"
