All My Heart- A Harry Potter FanFic

Chapter 18

I finish telling Fred and George everything that happened and they slowly lower their wands and release Harry. "Sorry Harry..." they say in unison. "It's ok." Harry replies. I sigh and run my hand through my hair, a little habit I have when I'm nervous or feeling awkward.

Then, I hear something over by the couch. It sounds like breathing.....but I know it's not possible, Olivia's gone, and nothing brings back the dead. All of a sudden, a burning pain shoots up my arm. I let out a small scream and my knees buckle. Ron comes over to me and holds me up. "Morgan, are you ok?" he asks, concern filling his voice. I look down at my arm, the tattoo of a snake, the dark mark Harry gave me is slowly fading! It hurts like hell, almost worse than when I got it.

"I-it's fading....." I whisper under my breath, stunned. I hear coughing over by the couch. I run over to it and Olivia's body. She's coughing!! She's breathing!!! Sh-she's alive!!!!!

Slowly, Olivia opens her eyes. The first thing she sees is Harry, who is standing at the foot of the couch, watching the phenomenon of Olivia being alive. She starts screaming as if someone is murdering her, trying to move away from Harry, pushing herself up against the couch.

"PLEASE!! STOP!!! I DONT KNOW ANYTHING!!!! PLEASE IT HURTS!!!" she screams, tears streaming down her face. Quickly, I grab her shoulders and stop her. "Olivia! It's me! You're safe! There's nothing that will hurt you!" I say loudly. She slowly starts to calm down, realizing where she is and who she's with.

"What happened?" She glances at Harry and says bitterly, "Why is HE here? Don't you know what he did?!?" I sigh and run my hand through my hair again. Honestly, I don't know what happened at Malfoy manor before I got there, but based on Olivia's reaction to seeing Harry, I assume it wasn't good.... For the third time in an hour, I explain what happened. About the imperious curse, about Olivia getting hit by the killing curse, everything that Olivia missed.

When I finish, Olivia sighs and says bitterly. "I don't believe you. You don't know what he," She glares at Harry again, "and Malfoy did to me Morgan. There is no way it was all because of a stupid spell." She starts to get up from the couch. "I'm going to bed." Olivia starts to walk upstairs, but then she turns back to me. "You can pick who's side you're on Morgan. Your best friends, or his." She shoots one last glare at Harry, then disappears up the stairs.

I sit down on the couch again and cover my face with my hands. I feel someone sit down beside me, but I don't look up. The someone puts an arm around me and pulls me close to their body. I recognize the comfort and safety of the hug, and I burry my face into Ron's shoulder. "Was it really that bad?" I ask him meekly. He nods.

"It wasn't so bad for me." he explains softly. "They really hurt her a lot. The cruciatous curse, sectimsempra, and worse......I only got a few punches and the cruciatous curse once or twice...." I start to cry into his shoulder. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that Ron! It's all my fault, if I had only tried harder to stop you from challenging Malfoy....." I sob. He gently pulls me off his shoulder, making me look into his amazing sky blue eyes. "Hey, it's ok. It is NOT your fault. Sure, it was pretty awful, but it's done now. Olivia will calm down, she's just scared and hurt. Ok?"

Slowly, I nod not taking my eyes off his. "Good." He pulls me back into his arms. "Ron?" I ask quietly in his ear. "Ya Morgan?" he asks back. I take a deep breath. I have wanted to say this since the day we started dating, it's just just never been the right time.

"I love you Ron. I love you with all my heart." I whisper into his ear.

*************************************
The next morning I'm shaken awake by a pair of strong hands. "Morning beautiful!"

"Morning Fred." I say, opening my eyes.

"Breakfast is ready sleepy head!" he tells me. I smile and slowly start to get out of my bed. "Come on! I'm starving! Hurry up!" he whines. "Gimme a second will you? I just got up." I ask in mock annoyance.

"That's it!!" he says. The next thing I know, I'm whisked out of my bed and am being spun around. "FRED!!!" I squeal. "Put me down! I'm up already!" We spin around around once more and I'm gently placed on the ground. I turn and face Fred. "YOU NUT!!" I say, punching his arm lightly. He smiles at me and we head downstairs for breakfast.

Everyone else is already at the table eating breakfast. "Morning!" I say cheerfully to everyone. I get a chorus of "mornings" back and I quickly take a seat between Ron and Olivia. Under the table, Ron takes my hand. I smile at him and we continue eating.

Not much conversation happens at the breakfast table. Olivia keeps glaring at Harry, clearly making him uncomfortable, and the twins, and Ron shovel huge helpings of food into their mouths. After about 5 minutes, Harry gets up from the table, having barely eaten anything. "Excuse me......" he says quietly and starts walking upstairs.

I let go of Ron's hand, push my chair back and get up. "Harry?" I say, following him. I catch up to him in the upstairs hallway and I place a hand in his shoulder. "Harry, what's wrong?" I ask quietly.

He turns to face me and I see a few tears filling his eyes. "It's Olivia. She keeps glaring at me. I've done nothing wrong, it was a spell! Why doesn't she realize that?!" he asks sort of loudly. "Harry, that spell made you really hurt her, you even killed her......she's just scared, and maybe mad....." I try to explain.

"And what about Ron?! He doesn't seem to be holding anything against me!" he exclaims. "I don't know Harry. You just have to let it pass. Olivia really likes you, she told me herself, right before this all happened. She's just hurt to think that you were the one who.....you know....." His eyes go wide. "She liked me??" he asks stunned.

I nod. "Ya, she does." He shakes his head. "It doesn't matter anymore, I ruined it! She hates me now. And Morgan, the worst part is, I think I like her back......" he says sheepishly. My jaw drops and my eyes go wide. "Harry...." I say quietly. I didn't know he liked her too! I thought he liked her as just friends....

Just then I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. Harry and I turn to see who it is. It's Olivia. She sees Harry and I and says bitterly, "I see you chose HIS side....." She scoffs and starts to go into her room.

"Olivia wait." I beg, my voice breaking a bit. "I'm not on anyone's side, there is no sides in this. You just have to believe us, Harry was under the imperious curse."

Olivia turns to face me, tears rolling down her face. "You have no idea what it was like Morgan! It hurt so much!" I hold back a few tears. I know exactly what it's like, I spent the past two years going through the pain and abuse that came with Josh, but she doesn't need to know details, so I just let her vent.....

"But I get it, you don't care. You don't care that I, your best friend, was literally tortured and killed, but this, this ass hole!!" she screams at me. With one last glare in Harry's direction, she goes into her room, slamming the door in my face.
