The Twins Who Lived

Burrow

Harry and Dahlia came back into the room, taking their seats with their respective mates, both doing their best to ignore all of the people looking at them.

When she arrived at the Reserve and Explained to Blaise what had happened, Blaise looked ready to storm there and murder the pair, his fury nearly tripled when he heard about what harry had said, he didn't know what had gotten into his head, but he was more than ok with setting him straight. Dahlia clung to Blaise, sobbing, asking what had she done wrong for her own brother to blame her for nearly being assaulted.

Harry looked away from the screen, Ginny Holding him tighter, Blaise wrapped his arms around Dahlia, his jaw clenched, those were still some of the worst times for them and he hated thinking about the years as he watched his beloved wife slowly lose her happiness.

"The Weasleys invited us to the World Cup. Mama bear already sent invites to Daph, Tori, Mione, Theo, Nev, Luna, Pans, she sent an invite to Harry but Harry said he was going with Sirius and Remus" Daliha read, "Draco is going with Lucius and Narcissa, we'll definitely see him there" Blaise said, looking at the letter Draco had sent to them. "It seems we'll all be in the same box, lovely" Dahlia said, looking at the letter from Molly again. "All packed, I've gotten permission for the four of us to go to the burrow early before we head out" Charlie said as he walked over, followed by Lola. Her and Blaise shared a look, Charlie and Lola had definitely been getting closer, the pair didn't doubt they would be together before long.

"Are they together?" Molly asked eagerly, "yes, they are, they even have children" Dahlia said with a smile, not revealing more, they knew it would show up later on.

Dahlia flooed into the burrow first, followed by Blaise, Lola then Charlie everyone bar Lola was given a famous Molly Weasley Hug. "And who is this?" Molly asked, looking Lola up and down "this is Lola mum, she's a coworker of mine who's been helping Dahlia and me" Charlie said, Dahlia was shocked as the days leading up to the world Cup, Molly had been giving Lola a cold shoulder, saying things under her breath that everyone could hear, Clearly unimpressed with the woman her son brought home. "Enough" Dahlia said, having had enough after seeing Lola's face fall slightly after she had tried to impress Molly by helping In the kitchen. "Molly, that is not ok. She is a friend of mine, she may not be dating Charlie, but that doesn't mean you can nitpick everything about her because you believe she's not good enough for your son. I understand you want to protect them, and that is fine but systematically tearing down her self esteem just because you believe she is a threat is not ok" Dahlia said, knowing her use of her first name instead of mama bear would hurt more.

Molly stared at the screen in shock and horror, just what in the hell got into her for her to act like that, how had she allowed herself to become so much like her mother, a woman who was terrifyingly overbearing, controlling and smothering. She swore in that moment, she would never act like this in the future, she couldn't, wouldn't put her children through the life her and her brothers had.

Molly stared at Dahlia in shock as did the rest of the family, no one ever stood up to her like this, guilt washed over Molly as she realized with a jolt she had just acted as her mom had when her brother had first brought a date home. "I am so sorry Lola, I have been absolutely horrible to you and I'm sorry" Molly said, genuinely remorseful, Lola nodded, accepting her apology.
