A/N: Oh boy, 50 chapters already?? Before we get back into the angst and all that, I just wanted to say that we're getting very close to the end of this fic which is mind boggling to me. When I'm done this one, however, I already have my next one planned which will be a Marauder's era fic, but not what you might expect... (it won't be an O/C insert :) ) More details will come later, for now, enjoy the angst!

"CRUCIO!" Ivan shouted, his wand shooting red flames.
Milena immediately closed her eyes, expecting to feel the worst and with no wand on her, she wouldn't be able to stop it. But it was so much worse. So much worse than any physical pain she could ever feel. As her eyes slammed shut, ready to take the brunt of the pain, she only heard the sound of Fred's screams echo through the room.
Her eyes quickly opened again as she watched Fred fall flat on his back and begin to convulse in pain, his limbs looked like they were all about to snap.
"STOP!" Milena screamed. "IVAN STOP IT!"
Ivan released Fred from the curse as he laughed at him laying on the ground, attempting to catch his breath. It was unbearable for Milena to watch. Then, he turned his wand back on Milena.
"You thought that you and your little boyfriend vould be able to stop me?" Ivan cackled. "A filthy mudblood like you? Maybe I did overestimate you..."
He stood closer to Milena again, limping a little as he walked, a bruise had begun to form under his right eye from the blast earlier. He pointed the wand directly at her throat, just barely brushing her chin.
"If I didn't need to turn you in so badly, I'd kill you both right here. This vill just have to do for now."
He turned back to Fred again and she knew he would do it again. The part that hurt most about it was that she would have to let him do it once more so she could get her wand. It was her only chance at saving either of them. The other Death Eater was still knocked out on the floor and she could see her wand inches from his sprawled out fingers.
"I'm so sorry, Freddie..." she whispered.
"CRUCIO!"
Fred let out another blood curdling scream as his body convulsed again from the pain. Ivan was cackling like a maniac, completely unaware of anything else. Milena did everything she could to keep her focus. She wanted to cry, she wanted to scream, she wanted it to be her being cursed, but it wasn't and she was his only hope now. Why did they both have to be so bloody stupid?
Milena reached out her hand and as the pair filled the room with horrendous noise, she shouted "Accio wand!" and her wand flew straight to her hand. Her eyes immediately darted to Ivan who was still unaware of her movement.
"STUPEFY!" She screamed with every muscle in her body.
The spell hit Ivan square in his back and with great force, he flew out of the gap that had once been the living room window. She stood up and for good measure yelled "PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!" at Ivan who was sprawled out in the grass. Then, her eyes fell on Fred and she ran to him.
Fred was laying on the floor, sprawled out just as Ivan was. He was wincing and breathing or rather trying to catch his breath, but thank god he was breathing. His eyes were closed, but the moment she fell to her knees next to him, he weakly opened them and looked up at her. Immediately, Milena burst into tears over him, wanting to pull him into a hug, but unsure if that would hurt him more. He looked up at her and reached an arm up to her face, wiping the tears from her cheeks, then he grinned.
"Can't get rid of us that easily, can they?" Fred said with a hoarse laugh.
Milena wanted to laugh with him, she really did, but this was entirely her fault. Instead, she began to cry more as Fred slowly sat up with another wince and she threw her arms around him again.

Fanfiction"You know that boy likes you a lot." Milena felt her cheeks warm up. She couldn't put her hands over her face because of everything she was carrying, so she just turned her face away, trying to hide her blush. "He's just my friend, mum." ~ ~ ~ Milen...
