I solemnly swear (George Weasley- Love Story Book 1)

Chapter 38

CHAPTER 38
George's POV:

I sat next to Kitty on the armrest of the chair she sat in and looked at the giant pacing dog. She smiles as she looks at it and then starts talking to it like it's a person. Bloody hell, I hope whatever she was doing in Vik's mind didn't mess hers up.

"It's nice to meet you. Harry told me a lot about you, I'm only sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you before in Hogsmeade."

The dog immediately stops pacing and turns to look at Kat and I. Sitting down and tilting its head as it looks at her first and then me, and then back to her.

"No, he doesn't know. But I can vouch for him, after all he's dating me so it takes a lot to freak him out doesn't it."

Before I can ask what the bloody hell she is talking about I watch as the dog barks out a bit and then stands up as a man. Not just any man though, it's Sirius Black. Before I realize it I'm standing with my wand pointed at him and Kitty has jumped in between us shielding him.

"Bloody hell Katherine! Move, don't you know who that is!"

"I do now trust me!"

"Are you insane?"

"George, don't you still trust me?"

"Aww Kitty, you know I do but.....don't make that face....I...fine, I trust you."

K's POV:

I watch as George slowly lowers his wand and I hear Sirius take a breath at the same time that I do. I walk back over to George and take his hand into mine before turning back to face Sirius. I see Sirius offer a tight smile at both of us before we introduce ourselves officially, and he starts asking us what happened. Only problem is before he can even get a word out someone walks into the office, and he's back to being a dog again. I look toward the door as Professor Dumbledore and Harry walk in. I feel myself relax some as I see that they got to Harry in time.

Sirius immediately runs to Harry and they begin to explain what happened. I feel George's fear begin when they mention Voldemort's name and how he is back. It sounds.....impossible the way Harry described it. That's....that's not normal magic, that's not even normal dark magic. I watch as Fawkes start crying over Harry's injured knee and then his arm, sealing the cuts. I watch as Dumbledore and Sirius both try to comfort Harry and Dumbledore tells him that he shouldered a burden that multiple full-grown wizards never could.

"However Harry, I must ask you to be burdened again tonight."

"Sir?"

"Dumbledore surely it can wait?"

"I'm afraid it cannot Sirius. Harry and Katherine, if you are willing I would like you to copy his memory and give it to me."

"Yes sir." (K&H)

"Harry, you may have to relive it again. I'm sorry. I can try to force your mind away from it if you don't fight me too much."

"Alright."

I nod slightly at Dumbledore and Harry as I take a seat in the opposite chair from Harry. Sirius keeps his hand on Harry's shoulder, with George mimicking him behind me, as I stare into his eyes. I stare into Harry's piercing green eyes as I enter his mind and I search of the web of memories of tonight. I find them at the forefront of Harry's mind. I try to get him thinking about Quidditch and only hope he doesn't fight me on it as I begin the journey through his memories of what happened. Beginning with the sphinx he met in the maze.

George's POV:

I watched as she sat down and stared into Harry's eyes, the same way that she stared into Viktor's a few moments ago. I see that Sirius is staring at Harry in concern while Dumbledore is watching both of them. I can only worry about Kat right now though as she does whatever it is she is doing and retrieves the memory or copies it or whatnot. I hear her sharp intake of breath and I watch as her expression pales, and fear grows in her eyes. I kneel on the floor next to her and start rubbing her back gently but it doesn't do any good, as tears start falling from her eyes.

I summon the vial out of her cloak and start collecting them as they continue to flow. A few more minutes go by and no one says a word as she starts shaking slightly, when suddenly she jumps up and stumbles backward a bit. She would have hit the floor if Dumbledore hadn't been there to catch her and steady her before moving away from her. She looks at Harry again as the tears continue to fall before rushing forward and hugging him and then springing into my arms shaking.

I start running my hand through her hair but she stops me as she looks up at Dumbledore. She pulls her wand out and reaches up and taps the side of head, pulling out a silver shimmering collection of strings of sorts. She summons another vial from somewhere and puts the strings into it before capping it and handing them to Dumbledore.

"I-I copied it as best as I could."

"Thank you my dear. Now Harry, I do not want you returning to your dormitory tonight. A Sleeping Potion, and some peace......Sirius would you like to stay with him?"

He nodded to the two of us as he walked out the door with Harry, Sirius in dog form following next to them. That will take some getting used to. I wrap my arm around Kitty's waist as I pull her closer into my chest. She's stopped shaking but she's still paler than she normally is. I kiss her on the side of the head just as we walk into the hospital room where mum, Bill, Fred, Ron, and Hermione are all pestering Madam Pomfrey on where we are and what happened.

Mum sees Harry and is happier to see him that to see me, her own son. I hear Fred snicker a bit but I just smirk and roll my eyes. Harry settles in and takes his potion, falling asleep quickly just as Madam Pomfrey looks at Kat with a sharp eye.

"It's not a moon night, but you look like you could use something right now."

Kat doesn't answer her though, which in turn earns her everyone staring at her with concern. She just keeps staring at Harry, at least I think it's at Harry. It could be at anything I suppose. Bill looks at her and then at me before coming over and talking in a low voice.

"George what happened to her?"

"I'm not really sure. Dumbledore had her copy his memory from tonight for him and she just, well she just freaked out."

"Your girl can do Legilimancy?" (B)

I just nod a bit as I think about just how bad whatever happened is for her to be reacting this way. I watch as Madam Pomfrey nods her head before going into the back room and coming out with a medicine vial for Kat.

"Calming draught mixed in with some blood. Make sure she drinks it all."

"I will."

I gently pull on Kat's hand and sit her down on the bed next to Harry's and force her to look at me instead. I see recognition flash in her eyes as she stares at me and then I see the fear and worry build again. She manages to speak but only in a whisper but I know that everyone around us managed to hear.

"Georgie.......Voldemort's back....not natural....not normal magic....it's horrible."

I watch as the tears start to fall from her eyes and I set the meds down on the little table before pulling into my lap and closer into my chest. She wraps her hands around up in my shirt and clings to me as tightly as she can. I feel her bury her face in my chest as she cries. I rub her back and whisper into her ear, Fred comes up and does the same. Even mum comes up to us and tries to get her to relax. I eventually get her to drink all the potion blood mix and she stops crying but the fear is still there. I kiss her once more on the side of her head just as we hear voices arguing from outside. It sounds like McGonagall and Fudge.
