As they landed, Bill Fleur and Aurelia got off the Thestral, Aurelia putting her hands up when Remus pointed his wand at her "What nickname did me and my friends give Severus Snape when we were students at Hogwarts?" Aurelia nods "Snivellus" Remus lowers his wand, sighing quietly in relief "Good."

Molly came outside, walking up and hugging Aurelia "Where's everyone else?" Molly pulls away "They should be here soon" As Molly went and hugged Bill and Fleur, Arthur and Fred apparated in the field. Aurelia bolted toward Fred and jumped on him in a hug "Bloody hell Fred, you scared me!" He hugs her back, nearly laughing "Sorry Lia"

He pulls away, looking to Remus "Where's George?" When Remus was silent he ran inside, Arthur and Aurelia following. Fred's heart dropped when he saw it, George laying on the couch, blood dripping from the side of his head. Molly was kneeled next to him, her hand gently running through his hair. Fred walked up and sat on the ground next to the couch "How you feeling, Georgie?" George paused "Saint-like" He weakly muttered, Fred raising an eyebrow "Come again?"

"Saint-like. I'm holey. I'm holey, Fred. Get it?" He said with a smile, pointing to his ear. Fred chuckled "The whole wide world of ear related humor, and you go for "I'm holey"? That's pathetic" George smirks "Reckon I'm still better looking than you"

"Mad-Eye's dead" Bill said, and then a haunting silence filled the room. Bill broke it with "Mundungus took one look at Voldemort and...disapparated" Molly frowned, and quickly planted a light kiss on George's forehead before standing up "Perhaps we should all get some sleep. Arthur, can you show anyone who isn't family where they'll stay. Ron, you too" Arthur and Ron nod, and most everyone left the room. Bill stayed, kneeling next to the couch. "Hey, George. Feeling alright?" George shrugs "I've been better"

"Well, you'll have a pretty badass looking scar by the end of it" George chuckles weakly "You'd know about badass scars wouldn't you?" Bill chuckles "Exactly. I'm gonna go get some bandages and things, we'll fix you up" George nods a bit, and Bill exits. Fred puts a hand on George's arm "We're gonna get through this, yeah?" George nods "Yeah."

Bill walked into the kitchen, finding Molly fumbling inside a shoebox for medical supplies. He walks up, putting a hand on her shoulder "It's alright, mum. Here, I'll help" He reaches into the box and grabs gauze pads, bandages, and a bottle that was unlabeled. "What's this?" Molly nods "Salt and water. I use it to clean wounds." Bill nods "Do you have any potions for him?" Molly nods, opening her potion drawer and pulling out three bottles "Healing Potion and Blood-Replenishing Potion. He lost quite a bit of blood. Then, I've got Murtlap Essence. It'll soothe the pain" Bill nods and takes the bottles

Bill and Molly go to the living room, Bill putting everything down and opening the Healing Potion. He hands it to George "Take this. It won't taste good but it'll help" George takes it, nearly gagging at the bitter taste "Ugh, what's in this?" Molly nods "Wormwood, Bubotuber pus, Dittany, Dragon Liver, and Unicorn Tail Hair" George nearly gagged again "Shouldn't have asked"

Bill takes the bottle from George, handing him another one "And this" George groans quietly before taking a sip from the bottle. It didn't taste as bad as the first, but it wasn't amazing. His face contorted at the flavor, and he handed it back to Bill. Bill nods "The wound won't heal right away, so I'm still gonna bandage and clean it, ok?" George nods, and Bill grabbed a gauze pad and the salt water. He poured the water onto the pad, and carefully cleaned George's wound. George tensed at the feeling, the wound stinging from the salt. Bill then takes the Murtlap Essence and puts a few drops on the wound. Instantly, George's muscles relaxed. Bill bandaged the wound, gently raising George's head so he could do so.

Bill nods "There. Try and get some rest, alright?" George nods "Ok. Thank you" Bill nods with a small smile. He was always the nicest of the Weasley brothers, Charlie coming in close second. He looked after his family often, and constantly encouraged the twins to do their best. He had a very strong relationship with his siblings. Except Percy, Percy always seemed distant, almost ashamed of his family.

Bill and Molly headed to bed, Fred falling asleep with his back leaned on the couch. A little later in the night, he felt something touch his cheek, and woke up to see Aurelia next to him, kneeled down. He smiles faintly "Evening" She sits next to him, leaning against him "Think we can do this?" Fred glances down at Aurelia "Do what?"

"Fight Voldemort" Fred shrugs "Dunno, but we sure can try" She smiles faintly, resting her head on his shoulder. She was safe. She felt perfectly safe with the Weasleys. She slowly fell asleep next to Fred, and he fell asleep soon after.
