Shadows and Light (Discontinued)

Charms Gone Wrong

Phoebe's entrance into their Charms class was typically cheerful, but today, her usually radiant smile was replaced with a forced one. Fred and George immediately noticed the dark shadows beneath her eyes and the way she winced with every movement. Their concern deepened as they caught sight of the bruises peeking out from beneath her robes.

"Phoebe, what happened to you?" Fred asked, his voice laced with worry.

Phoebe hesitated, her gaze flickering nervously between her friends. She knew they would be able to see through any excuse she tried to make.

"It's nothing, just a little accident," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

But Fred and George weren't convinced. They exchanged a knowing look before George gently placed a hand on Phoebe's shoulder.

"Phoebe, you can tell us," he said softly. "We're here for you."

Feeling a wave of relief wash over her, Phoebe took a deep breath and confessed, "It's Draco. He... he gets angry sometimes, and things just... escalate."

Fred and George's expressions darkened as they listened to Phoebe's words. They had never trusted Draco Malfoy, but hearing that he was capable of hurting their friend filled them with a fierce protectiveness.

"Phoebe, you can't let him treat you like this," Fred said, his voice firm. "No one deserves to be hurt, especially not by someone who's supposed to care about them."

Phoebe nodded, tears welling up in her eyes as she felt the weight of her friends' support. She knew they were right, but breaking away from Draco felt like an impossible task.

As the class began, Fred and George made sure to keep a watchful eye on Phoebe, silently vowing to do whatever it took to help her break free from the toxic relationship she found herself in. And though they knew the road ahead would be difficult, they also knew that with their unwavering support, Phoebe would find the strength to stand up for herself and reclaim her happiness.
