"I am" I said holding my dad "where is Tonks?"
I felt his shock, almost like I could read his emotions but I didn't let them in
I don't want to feel again
"At her parent's house, she's safe there I'll have to tell her you were worried""I'm worried about my sibling" I said in a hushed voice
"I'm telling her you're worried about the two of them"
"Whatever" I said
I looked up at his face and he was smiling
I smiled with himWe walked inside the burrow together, I looked at Molly she was stress baking
She gave me a weak smile, one I was surprised to see
I walked further in and saw George on the couch with Fred beside him
Fred got off the ground, his hands were all bloodied from applying pressure to his twin's injuring
He walked over to me and like I had times in the past, I let him hold me for comfort
His heart was beating so fast, he was stressed I could tell
"You're ok""I'm ok" I said back
I couldn't let myself be held too long, I messed up throughout the years by letting myself be intimate with him without a boundary. He's been in love with me and I've been using him
Just like his mum said I was doing
I lightly pushed out of his embrace and walked over to GeorgeI put my hand in the towel over his ear, relieving him of that chore
"You ok?" I asked"Bloody brilliant" he said smirking
I chuckled
"You're stupid""Got you and Fred I think I'm winning actually"
"Yeah yeah" i picked the towel off his ear "you went to a pretty far extent to differentiate yourself from your twin"
"I've always been the better looking"
"Glad you still have your humor"
"Glad you still have yours, you ok?"
I choked back my sadness, I could put a face on for everyone else but somehow George asking made me want to scream how not ok I really am"I'm ok"
The front door opened, I looked and saw Hermione and Ron holding hands walking inside together
I was still upset about them getting married without telling me, like I still am about my dad not telling me about my sibling. I did my best to not hold it against them
I smiled their way, Ron rushed over to his sibling and Hermione walked beside me
She sat on the ground next to me and offered me her hand, I took it and felt her squeeze it hard"Im glad you're ok" she said to me "I was worried"
"I'm ok" I knew I would repeat this line to everyone who talked to me today
Im ok
Im ok
Im ok
Im ok
Im okHarry walked down from the stairs alone, I knew Ginny was in her old room resting
She was worried for her brother but her stress wouldn't be good for the baby so she went to rest
He walked to where his three best friends sat in the living room and hugged us tightly
He didn't ask me if I was ok, just like I wouldn't ask if he was either"Can we talk soon?" Hermione asked the three of us "just us" she whispered
We all nodded our headsMolly made tea and a small meal for the household, the only one from the order not here was Kingsley. Moody stood by the door on constant watch, I see what Charlie means now when he calls me Moody.
I think we were the only two in the room who couldn't relax"How did you escape?" Arthur asked me at the head of the table
I had everyone's attention now, my dad looked at me pained
I could either tell them the truth like I told Charlie, who was staring at me wondering the same thing, or I could keep that to myself
What would the benefit be if I told them a lie?
They wouldn't believe the truth either"I had my wand tucked away in my pants, I have a pocket in there I use for it. I had a decoy wand they took when I was caught. I waited around to see if I could hear anything since no one has been to the manor" I pushed my food around my plate, peas mixed with my mashed potatoes "I was kept far below so I didn't hear a sound, i escape by apparating after I deemed it not worthy anymore. Draco got married the day I was there the paper lied by the way"
Fred was beside me, a spot he always chose to be in. Even after I said no to his proposal he still wants to be beside me. He watched me, waiting for some sort of emotion to show but I kept a neutral face
"Could have sent your patronus to one of us, we had an opportunity to find this hideout and you wasted it" Moody barked out
"Next time I get captured I'll be sure to do that" I snapped back
"I'm sure my daughter was doing all she could to not be found with her actual wand. She did a great job at infiltrating but it won't happen again" he said looking at me
His eyes said don't put me in an early grave"Why shouldn't I? They clearly wanted to catch me. I can handle myself"
"I'm sure you can" my dad said
"I'm sure there is an alternative motive for your want to be captured. It's the reason why you weren't picked for that mission" Moody said, he was in going to keep picking on me I knew that
"Draco?" I scoffed
Charlie rolled his eyes, he was going to let me keep my secret but he would be sure to show me how annoyed he was by it"Yes that Malfoy boy" he clinked his cane on the ground "you're too emotional girl"
"Last I checked we were all old enough to not be called boy, girl, kid. We're adults"
"When you stop letting your emotions ruin your mindset you will be. You're still too attached to him. Don't get caught because of that boy and ruin what we have going on. All they would have to do is use a truth serum on you, they would get everything they need about the order. You would risk all of our safety"
I crossed my arms and slouched in my seat
Fred put his hand on my leg to comfort me but I took my leg and moved it closer to Hermione
"Whatever"
