Hogwarts Life as Ash Potter (A Harry Potter/George Weasley/Remus Lupin FF)

Chapter 11 - You've waited for 11 years already

I thought about it. 'What has this got to do with my father?' Dumbledore sighed again. 'I'll just send him up here.' I looked at him with disbelief. He taught us a lot of spells. I could at least make sure he won't get nearer me. Yes, that will do. 'Just give him a chance, Ashley.' With that he walked away. The rest rushed inside and I told them what he told me and also said that ass was coming. Pomprey had clearly heard our conversation because she began putting spells around me. Yay!

Lupin walked in and looked at the shield thing and took it down without any difficulties. Oh, Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. 'Could I talk to you in private, Ashley?' I shook my head. 'There's no need, I would tell them all of it anyway.' He slowly nodded and sat down. 'Ashley, I totally screwed up and I know it. I've been the worst father I could be and I totally blame myself. It's just, I couldn't take care of you because of my little problem. I felt so bad leaving you with Lily but I was sure she would take care of you. When Voldemort disappeared I rushed to your house but Albus told me you were gone, to an orphanage.'

'You certainly screwed something up...' I heard Sophie say and I had the urge to laugh, but this was serious. 'You know, it's hard to think of your father as an ass, but I do certainly do it now. I know you're kind and stuff but I can't believe you had an one-night-stand with the girl your best friend fancied so much. Only gits and assholes do it, so something is wrong over there. I just need to over think this stuff but I'm sure you'll have time to wait. You already waited for 11 years, didn't you?'

He nodded with tears leaving his eyes. He then slowly walked away looking back one more time at me while I was crying. 'Sophie, can you please get my sketch book?' She nodded and rushed away. It was silent for a bit until I asked 'Lee, how are Sophie and you doing? Have you asked her out already?' He blushes a bit. 'Not yet, but I do like her. I just don't know if she likes me.' He says, frowning. 'Of course she likes you! She told me, you stupid ass!' He smiled. 'Really?' 'Yup.'

It was silent for a bit when Fred asked George 'And have you asked this beauty out already?' George shook his head. 'Not really, a bit. It's bit strange. I told her I liked her and she said she like me too but the Lupin butted himself into our conversation.' Fred slowly nods. 'Then what's the problem? Ask her out already!' I slap Fred. Not too hard because I don't have the power. 'How much I would like him to ask me, I'm still sitting here stupid git.' He smiles. 'You see!' I groaned.

I looked at George who looked at me. 'Ash, would you like to be my girlfriend?' I nodded and smiled at him. Sophie came back and Lee asked her as well. Original. Of course she said yes and now Fred was the only single one left and we made sure to tell him. I drew a sketchy figure of Remus and me, next to each other. 'Shit! I do actually look like him. How come I never noticed?' They all look at the drawing. 'Did you make that in 2 minutes?' Fred asked with amazement in his voice.

'Yup. Stay talking but don't move too much. I'm gonna make one of you again.' They all nodded. George was talking about the ball with Fred and Lee and Sophie were just talking about their life’s at home. I was done soon after but the details took longer. I made shadow where it was needed so it looked more real. When I was finished it was late in the evening and they all left me alone. I looked around the room and it was only now that I realized all the stuff I had gotten. I got a few cards which I opened. One was from Mrs. Weasley.
