I turn around a corner when a spell is fired my way, breathing heavily, and limping my way over to where I see the Weasleys, going over to sit for a while on the broken brick wall where I see Ginny.
She shuffles closer to me, giving me a weak smile, before she sees my leg, her eyes widen.
'..oh, I'm fine, don't worry.. just, umm, one of those death eaters learnt Sectumsempra.. nothing too bad.. my legs still on, eh?' I fan my face 'Just a few slashes, most of it's fine, not like I haven't injured before, so I don't mind so much-'
Mrs Weasley's seen my leg, and come over with Madam Pomfrey
'I'm fine, seriously, I've been walking around for a good half hour like this'
'I swear, if anything more happens, one more thing I see happen to one of my children, I'm going to blow up those death eaters myself' Mrs Weasley shakes her head, moving some hair away from my face.
Madam Pomfrey gives her a warning look, and then I hear the most childish response you'll ever get from Mrs Weasley:
'What? You expect me to let a death eater injure my sons?? OR my daughters?'
Daughter(s)

I did sort of get it healed, and can walk properly.. or maybe even run.. when I see a hint of ginger hair sticking out of rubble
No.. it's not..?
In a hurry, I attempt to get to the person under the brick, doing it relatively fast, half assuming the worst. I say "half", because first, I don't want the person to be.. you know.. gone. But, if it's..
I can't lose the only person who I know will truly ALWAYS care about my existence, not for a second time at that, we know what happened the first time
'you know you couldn't do that, right?' I hear a a sort of grumble, and look down to see Fred, smiling weakly 'get rid of me, I mean'
I scoff, already sobbing, I cover my eyes. Fred chuckles and groans 'stop doing that, I'm not dead yet.. I won't die' He smiles just as weakly 'yet..'
'Fred??' Percy comes to a stop, looking out of breath
Did he run over here..? He's been looking for Fred
'What happened..?' I ask, looking between the two of them 'how'd you get stuck under all that?'
He tells me about an apparently out of character joke from Percy
Percy made a joke?
'yes, he did' Fred laughs again 'and then some death eater blew up that wall and hit me'
'what wall..?' George rounds the corner, smiling, relieved as he gestured to the empty space that Fred just referred to as "wall"
'Can you sit up?' I ask him, shuffling back, while George comes over. I sigh in relief once he sits up, awkward laughing as I (almost) cry again
And then, suddenly Fred has got all this energy, because he reaches out towards me, wiping away the first tear that fell, and then attempting to stand up.
It takes the efforts of not only Percy and George, but Bill, to get him standing, although when he is, he stands straight on his own
And he still looks so good?
'Yes, Angie, I still, look, great' He hugs me, rubbing slow circles into the small of my back, sighing deeply after he pulls away
How does he always know what I'm about to say?
Does he read my—
'I just read you amazingly, I'm always gonna know what's next to come out of your pretty little lips'
'Which ones?'
Who.. the hell-
I turn around to see none other than the one person who I never expected to see
Dante?
Eww
Percy's already in his face 'what in Merlin's name was that meant to mean??'
PERCY??
Dante chuckles and shrugs, looking up at Percy (he's hardly grown since I last saw him, when I was like 14.. 6 years ago??) 'exactly what it sounded like'
I bite the inside of my cheek before walking in between them 'but it's not like you have anything on me, so I'd suggest leaving' I lift my chin to look down at him. But this doesn't stop him, as he moves to put his hands on my hips, and although Fred tries to intervene, I've already solved the issue.
I slapped him.
And then a kick, and add in a punch
'And if I EVER, see you again, you can bet you won't see the LIGHT OF DAY, EVER AGAIN' I basically scream, still gripping my wand from about an hour ago, the point marking a red spot on his forehead 'so speak, apologise, and not just for this, but for everything, because I'm almost certain, that only one of us has four potential murder weapons right now' I swing my hip to the right slightly: a knife, and some thick rope (as well as my hands, and my wand, ofc.. he's just lucky that guns aren't legal in the UK)
'you're even worse than your father.. are you TRYING to get yourself killed?'
Wha-
did he just--
'why d'you think I'm here?' I whisper
..
He did in fact leave, after apologising to not only me, but Percy, Fred, Bill, AND George.
'Sorry-' I sigh as Bill smiles, asking me why I didn't hex him 'because, he'll probably get himself killed in a few minutes, I don't need to do anything'
He looks more than amused 'I didn't know your girl was THAT cool, Fred'
I gasp, in mock offence 'I've always been like that! really?? You didn't know?'
Fred smirks and nods 'and I've always liked you'
Oh damn
'Don't give me any of that'
'Of what?'
His smirk softens 'I know what you're thinking'
