Pandora POV

Safia gasped as our surroundings settled around us. Then she threw her arms around me 'thank you so much Pandora' she cried.

I hugged her back, but she didn't know my plan yet. She had no idea.

'I haven't told you the plan yet, Saf' I said as she pulled back.

'Plan?' she asked tilting her head slightly to her left in puzzlement 'what plan? We're here, we're where we should be. We are going to be loyal to Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Luna, Neville, Dumbledore and so on this time. If not you can sod off' she said with her confusion turning into rage.

I placed my hand on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes 'I never said we were not going to be loyal, in fact I think we're going to be more than loyal' I said smiling devilishly.

'We?' she took a step back on the grassy plain 'no I'm not getting involved in one of your plans, Pandora. No way' she protested.

I sighed 'fine, but you still want to know my plan right?' I asked.

She hesitated before answering yes.

'Good, prepare yourself for my grand plan' I said smiling.

After I explained my plan and arguing with her that it was going to work we headed towards the burrow front door.

'I wonder how they will all react' Safia said as I knocked 3 times on the door.

'So do I' I replied.

From inside the house a voice shouted 'Georgie get the door, it could be you father, he might have found Fred... I hope so anyway' 

My eyes widened and my heartbeat fastened. Where could Fred have gone? Why would Mr. Weasley looking for Fred? 

I shot Safia a frantic look and she was watching me nervously. 

I heard a click and a turning of a rusty doorknob. I turned immediately to find the door opening to reveal George. His expression was full of shock and anger.

'What the ruddy hell are you doing here?' He yelled at me in a urgent tone. ignoring Safia’s presence.

'Why is Fred not here?' I asked with the same urgency in my voice.

'Why would that be any of your business?' his voice filled with as much poison as Nagini has in her fangs.

Why wouldn't it be?' I asked, trying to keep my calm.

'Urm... let me think... maybe because you're a total-'

'George, who is it?' Mr. Weasley interrupted, popping her head around the door. Her eyes widened, and she smiled for a millisecond before the smile disappeared.

'Mrs. Weasley please tell me where Fred is' I pleaded, forgetting my plans and channeling all my thoughts onto Fred.

She sighed and came into full view 'Fred is looking for you' she answered in the most regretful tone.

My eyes widened and I ran for the Burrow gate to desperate, leaving Safia calling my name. 

Before I left I yelled 'tell them, tell them everything I told you'.

Fred POV

I wasn't going to give up hope. There's no way I'm going to stop until I find Pandora. 

Wondering down the dark, old alleys of Diagon Ally was not fun, at all. 

I jumped as a silver ball of light appeared along with Pandora's gasping voice 'Fred, Fred? Please Fred, touch the ball and you'll find me. Don't worry it's not a trap, I wouldn't do that to you'.

Her voice left and the ball stayed. I stared at the ball for a moment and reached for it in hesitation.

A gush of air brushed my face and my feet hit the ground. I looked around at my surroundings; I was in a field with a river running by the side of me.

'Fred' a voice whispered behind me.

I spun around to see the source. Pandora.

She threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around my body and resting her chin on my shoulder and I did the same.

I wanted to ask her so much, my head was spinning but more I wanted to stay like this forever so all I said was 'I miss you'.

After 5 minutes of staying in that position we sat down on the grass next to the river. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was so beautiful, her hair, her eyes, her nose, her lips, her face, her body, everything about her.

'Don't you wish all your problems could just wash away?' She asked, turning her head to look into my eyes, a strand of hair was messily hanging down from her bun.

I smiled at her and brushed the piece of hair behind her ear. Before I could lean in to kiss her she looked over at some ducks swimming in the river.

'Where are we?' I asked her.

'I used to come here when I was younger, when I ran away I'd always come here. No one would find me, I went back when I wanted to' I answered.

'Why did you run away this time?' I asked.

'Barty and Safia had an argument and Safia ran out so I ran after her then she asked me to take her back to the Burrow so I did' I answered in a short brief summary.

'What about Malfoy?' he asked.

She sighed and buried her head in her knees and wrapped her arms around her legs, making herself look like a turtle hiding in a shell.

'I've got a plan' she said after a few moments, still keeping her head buried.

'Enlighten me' I replied.

'I want to be on your side, but stay on the other side working as a spy for your side' she said after lifting her head back up to look at me.

I felt my face light up as she spoke her words, and darkened again when I realized that could put her in danger.

'No' I said 'You have to choose a side, I'm not going to let you put yourself at risk. Don't argue with me either, just choose one or the other' I pleaded with her.

'I can get information you can't. I'm in a death eater. I'm his daughter, I can get anything I want' she protested

'I know who you are' I sighed. Her expression was regretful

'I didn't mean it in that way, I'm sorry' she sighed.

'Don't worry, just stay with me please?' I asked, looking into her beautiful eyes.

'What about Draco?' she asked.

'Screw him' I answered. 

She didn't laugh but looked upset.

'I at least need to see him' she said.

'Well not today at least, let's just go home ok?' I asked her 'You can share a room with me if you're lucky'.

She smiled and leaned over to kiss my cheek. I felt happier than I ever have been before.

‘Come on, let’s go back. You must be hungry, it’s almost 6’o’clock’ I said as I got up and reached out a hand to help her up. Her soft hands accepted the offer and I pulled her to her feet. She smiled a thank you.

I grabbed her other hand and apperated us home.
