Love Ridden-Fred Weasley

TW-Abuse

The past two weeks have been hell. I spent my time locked up in my bedroom or the gardens. Dad wanted me to stay sharp, so he woke me up early in the mornings to study and do practice exams. I haven't seen my grandpa, thank gods. He was much more harsher than my dad.

Penny appeared in my room, looking quite scared. "Mr wants you downstairs."

Before I could ask questions, she disappeared. I apparated downstairs in front of my father's study. The door was cracked just a bit for me to peek in. I saw some unfamiliar faces and recognized a few. Two of them being Lucious Malfoy and Theo's father. It didn't take a genius to put the pieces together; It was a death-eater meeting. I had my suspicions my father was one, It came as no surprise. It came as no surprise to anyone. My Grandfather and him have always had strict views when it came to pure-bloods and Muggle-Borns. I, of course, Did not share the same beliefs. Muggles and their whole world always fascinated me.

I got snapped out of my thoughts as I saw everyone get up from their chair and head towards the door. I backed up out of their way and watched them leave.

''Maeve, Come on in.'' He seemed more serious than usual. I sat down on one of the chairs and started fidgeting with my rings.

''As you know, I keep in touch with your Professor, Snape.'' Oh, this can't be good. ''Would you like to tell me why You're receiving a failing grade in one of the easiest classes? Especially a class taught by him, no less.''

''I, uh, I'll do better next time. I'll study more and put more effort into my studies.'' I was afraid to look up at him; I just kept looking down.

''I expect my only child to not be a complete waste. If you keep embarrassing me like that, You won't have a home to come back to.''

I scoffed, which was probably the wrong thing to do.

''Do you find any of this funny? Look at me when I'm speaking to you.'' He got up and got closer, His voice getting louder.

''I think it's a bit funny that you, of all people, think I'm the one embarrassing you and this family. Does Mum even know you're a death eater? Or is that another secret you're keeping from her?'' I should have stopped talking, But I couldn't help myself. Before I had time to react, His fist collided with my left cheek. He hit me with such force I fell out of my chair. He's never punched me before. I felt a warm liquid drip down from my nose to my chin.

I tried to search for an ounce of remorse or shock on his face. Something to tell me he didn't mean it, That he was sorry. I was just met with cold, dead eyes. I don't know why I expected him to say he was sorry, for him to follow me out the door. I ran to my bedroom and began packing everything I could. I didn't want to say goodbye to my Mother; I didn't want to explain to her why I was leaving. I just needed to get the hell out of there. I apparated to the Train Station.

Students were set to go back to Hogwarts tomorrow morning. I knew I couldn't go there until then, So I found a bench and sat there. I didn't have a solid plan, I just waited and waited. I fell asleep there and was awoken by the sounds of parents and students running around the station. I couldn't imagine how rough I looked. I spotted the Weasley family; there were about 6 of them. Molly and Arthur were hugging them goodbye; I tried to imagine what it would be like to have a family like that.

Fred was so lucky; He had loving parents and a bunch of siblings. His home probably feels like a real home. I got caught staring by Fred; He didn't look pissed off at me, which was new. He had a concerned look on his face. He began walking towards me, Which was unexpected. I tried to brace myself for whatever he was going to say.

''You look like shit Golding.'' He put both his hands in the front pockets of his jeans.

''Very observant, Weasley.'' I was too tired to argue with him or come up with a witty remark. Next time, though.

''Is that blood? What the fuck happened to your eye, Did you run into a door?'' He got a bit closer and examined my face. I touched my eye and winced a bit; I didn't realize it had bruised.

''Fuck off, Fred, I'm not in the mood for your shit.'' I grabbed my bags and headed on the train that just arrived. I could hear him call out for me, I just kept ignoring him.

I found the Compartment that Theo, Daphne, and Pansy were sitting in. I motioned for them to scoot over and sat down. Daphne gave me a big hug and I had to pry out an 'I missed you' from Theo and Pansy.

"Mae, you know I love you but, what the fuck happened to your face?" Theo grabbed my face and moved from side to side.

" courtesy of my lovely father, now can someone fix it please?" Daphne pulled out her wand and muttered a few spells.

"Are you saying that son of a bitch hit you? Fuck Mae, if I would have known-"

"It's fine, really I don't feel like talking about it. I just want to get back to school."

They quickly understood and started talking about their holidays. I knew they would try and bring it up later, but for now, I just wanted to forget.
