Happier with you- Bill Weasley

DH 7

Phoenix was helping George as they kept watch over one of the secret passages with a couple of others. Movement could be heard through the corridors all around, running footsteps, shouts, through the windows there were flashes of light in the dark grounds. In the portraits the painted figures raced along, wizards and witches in ruffs and breeches, in armour and cloaks, cramming themselves into each others' canvases, screaming news from other parts of the castle. The whole castle was shaking. Phoenix and George had their wands drawn as they listened to the hidden passage for any signs of people. They heard approaching footsteps as someone ran around the corner, Phoenix raised her wand just as Tonks came into view.

"Tonks what the hell are you doing here" She shouted at her cousin. 

"I couldn't stand not knowing and Rory's here as well" George groaned at her words.

"I'm going to kill her myself" He mumbled as Tonks ran off. 

"I'm really not surprised though with them two" Phoenix says as they go back to watching the passage. 

"Nope me neither still going to kill Rory though" Multiple Death Eater appeared as the group started firing spells at them. It felt like it went on for ages before they were finally able to beat them. George smirked at Phoenix. Suddenly all the noise stopped and Voldemort's voice reverberated from the walls and floor.

"You have fought," said the high, cold voice, "valiantly. Lord Voldemort knows how to value bravery. Yet you have sustained heavy losses. If you continue to resist me, you will all die, one by one. I do not wish this to happen. Every drop of magical blood spilled is a loss and a waste. Lord Voldemort is merciful. I command my forces to retreat immediately. You have one hour. Dispose of your dead with dignity. Treat your injured. I speak now, Harry Potter, directly to you. You have permitted your friends to die for you rather than face me yourself. I shall wait for one hour in the Forbidden Forest. If, at the end of that hour, you have not come to me, have not given yourself up, then battle recommences. This time, I shall enter the fray myself, Harry Potter, and I shall find you, and I shall punish every last man, woman, and child who has tried to conceal you from me. One hour." George looked at Phoenix before they both headed to the Great Hall. Phoenix ran to Bill as soon as she saw him.

"You're okay" He whispered as he hugged her. 

"I'm fine" George walked over to them.

"Have you seen Fred" 

"Not yet" Bill admitted looking at the door. All the Weasleys where looking around worried until they saw Fred and Percy walk in, Percy was helping support Fred a bit. Then they spotted Oliver Wood holding an unconscious Rory. 

"She's okay" Percy says as he notices Charlies eyes settle on Rory. Charlie takes her from Oliver before placing her down on one of the beds.

"What was she doing here?" He asked looking at Fred and Percy "She was supposed to be with Isla"

"She said she couldn't stand not knowing" Fred said as he hugged his twin. Bill looks at Charlie.

"Nova you idiot" Phoenix hears Charlie whisper as holds Rory's hand. She moves slightly. "Nova" She opens her eyes slowly as she looks at him.

"Ow" She whispers making him laugh slightly as he pulls her to him. Phoenix looks at Bill relieved.

"Thank god you're okay. What the hell are you doing here?" He pulled away slightly still looking at her.

"Rory's in trouble" Phoenix whispers to Bill who nods but smiles at his brother.

"Tonks is here as well" Rory mutters.

"Seriously do either of you listen" He smiled at her.

"Charlie you know me"

"I do and I love you" He kisses her head. She closes her eyes briefly leaning into him as Sirius runs over to her.

"You are going to be the death of me Wolf and the werewolf isn't very happy with you or Tonks either" He says as she looks at him.

"He'll get over it Pads" She smiles.

"I'm going to go find Isaac and Logan. Try and stay safe please" He kisses her on the head before heading off to search for Logan and Isaac only stopping briefly to place a kiss on Phoenix's head "You stay safe as well" 

"I'll try" Phoenix smiles at him as he goes.
