Into Another World

Chapter 29

A few months into the school year and Professor Umbridge has already tried to sack Professor Trelawny.

Man I really hate that woman.

It's a few days before Christmas break and the D.A. have been working really hard. It was currently our last practice before holidays and we decided to work on Patronus's.

Mastering the spell after many tries, my Patronus ended up being a chimpanzee. Weird if you ask me.

Finally, after many hours of practicing our defense spells, it was time to leave the Room of Requirement. It was our secret room that Neville stumbled across one day. Over my many of years of being a prank expert with the twins, we have stumbled across this room many times while running from Filch. We just thought it was a broom closet at the time though.

Walking out the door, I waited for the twins. They wanted to talk to Harry about some of their products they could use on Umbridge. She may have made a rule that they were not allowed, but who listens to her stupid rules?

Recently the twins have started working on another product but they wouldn't tell me what it is. It was apparently a surprise for not only me, but the entire school!

It was going to be big.

After a long wait, Fred and George finally came out of the Room of Requirement. Harry was left inside with Cho. Smirking, we walked the long way up to the Gryffindor common room. Going to sleep, I woke up to Fred shaking my body.

He looked anxious. Getting up out of bed, I heard Harry yelling from downstairs.

"Guys hurry up! I need to see Dumbledore right away."

Hurrying down the steps, we ran to the headmasters office. Upon entering, we saw the other Weasley children in the office as well. Dumbledore started asking a whole bunch of questions and ordering different portraits to go and find Mr. Weasley.

Apparently, Harry had a dream where Mr. Weasley was attacked at work. Rushing to Dumbledore, he thought he could help him. Dumbledore won't even look at Harry!

"LOOK AT ME!" Finally, Harry lost it.

Dumbledore turned around and actually started talking to Harry for the first time in months. A tiny cough was heard from a portrait and we were told that Mr. Weasley was rushed to St. Mungos in critical condition.

We were told to leave school and stay at Grimmauld Place for the holidays. Doing as we were told, Dumbledore walked us over to his fireplace, in which we would use the floo network.

Going in, I yelled out 12 Grimmauld Place, and waited for the twisting and pulling to stop. Finally, I was home with my father.

Walking out, I saw my stuff was already sitting out in the living room, along with Lily's. Walking around the dirty living room, I didn't notice how much I missed being here. In fact, it was more of a home filled with love than David's house ever was.

Grimmauld Place may have been dirty and dusty, but everyone loved each other so much. Their wasn't any hatred flying around the room or anything bad. My thoughts were interrupted however, when Kreacher walked into the room. He was the only bad thing about this place.

Rolling my eyes at his rude name calling, I grabbed my bags and apparated to my room. Laying my things down on the floor, I almost missed the figure who was sitting on my bed.

It was my step father, David. I have no idea how he got in here, this place is filled with alarms and spells to keep people out, but he was sitting right in front of me.

"Delilah, what a pleasure to see you again. I can not tell you how I got in, for that would ruin the surprise of how I'm going to get into Hogwarts and kill you and your sister.

But don't worry dear child... I'll make your deaths quick and very painful. See you soon, Delilah!"

With those words he apparated away. Running down the steps, since I wasn't focused enough to apparate, I ran into the kitchen where I saw my father. Running into him, I hugged him and cried into his shoulder.

"Delilah, sweetie, what's wrong! It's not Fred is it? Cause if it is I'll—"

"No dad! It's not Fred it's David... He was in my room earlier. He was telling me that he's going to kill me and Lily soon! I didn't know what to do at the time and—"

"Delilah it's my job to keep you and Lily safe! You are both my daughters, one by blood, and the other by the papers I signed."

Confused, I looked up at Sirius.

"I adopted Lily and I gained full custody of you! Since your mother passed and David was a murderer, I thought why not gain two new family members!"

Lily ran into the room, since she was standing near the door and heard our entire conversation, she hugged Sirius and cried tears of joy.

Watching in awe, I entirely forgot about David.

However, after Lily and Sirius's hug, Lily and I were forced to go into our rooms while the Order had a small talk about the intruder.

Falling onto my bed, I laid flat on my stomach and drifted into a small nap. I only got about five minutes of sleep however, when a loud crack was heard and Fred was in my room.

He had been crying, it was clear from his puffy red eyes. When he saw me, all the sorrow left his face and was filled with love and passion.

Moving over, I patted the empty space next to me so Fred could lay down. He slowly crawled into the bed and wrapped his arms around me.

Before I went back to sleep, Fred told me the good and bad news.

"My father was attacked by something, but the ministry and the hospital have no idea what. The good news however, is that he will be back for Christmas and we get to visit him tomorrow. Would you like to come and visit with me?"

"Fred I would love to, but I think it should just be family."

"Yeah I understand... Will you come the day after tomorrow? I want to introduce you to my father as my girlfriend, and not just a friend."

"Well then of course I'll go Fred. But you have to meet my father as my boyfriend tomorrow."

With a small yawn and a kiss on the cheek, we fell asleep wrapped in each other's arms.
