Bloody Beautiful-Bloody Love (Book 4-George Weasley Love Story)

Chapter 10

Aleric's POV:

There are few times that a vampire as old as I am will feel genuine fear. The only times I have been genuinely afraid this century is when Talan threatened Katherine and again when I found her being tortured by Bellatrix. Now I am faced with fear once again, as the anger and hate that radiates off Voldemort rears it's ugly head against Thorfinn. I had not had time to get word to Katherine about the taboo Voldemort had placed on his own name, knowing full well that only order members or Harry would have the gall to say it.

I knew only brief details about the fall of the ministry and who was already dead, and the wedding crashing that occurred. Not having been given a job to do in either task. I didn't know whether Katherine or her husband and his family are safe. I know only that Harry, Hermione, and Ron had escaped the wedding before saying Voldemort's name in a muggle area. They had been the ones to say Voldemort's name, leading to Thorfinn and Dolohov arriving to apprehend whoever it was that had said it.

The three young ones managed to allude capture and now poor Thorfinn was the one that was facing Voldemort's rage. This was the second time he was blamed for an escape, the first one being that of Katherine's though of course he was semi-responsible for that. Though I feel that he was mostly being punished for calling Voldemort back from his search for the Elder Wand, and telling him of the loss of Harry. I keep myself from wincing as Voldemort begins to curse Thorfinn, all while his screams persist in the dimly lit room.

"More, Rowle, or shall we end it and feed you to Nagini? Lord Voldemort is not sure that he will forgive this time....You called me back for this, to tell me that Harry Potter has escaped again? Draco, give Rowle another taste of our displeasure...Do it, or feel my wrath yourself!" (V)

I watch as the poor boy's face is cast in light as a log falls in the fire, white with fear as he shakily does as Voldemort commands. I had been asked if I wanted to feed from Rowle as an additional punishment, I was forced to agree to keep my cover as Talan intact. Rowle knew that it would not be painful unless I wanted it to be, we can only hope he has enough strength to act as if it is painful. I can only hope further that I may tell Katherine the news of the taboo, or there will be many order members in the next few months to face the death eaters unexpectantly.

Kat's POV:

"Are you sure you want to leave tonight Vik?" (K)

"I am sure kitty, I ave to ve ome tomorrow for practice or they vill know I vas at the vedding vor sure. Right now it is only rumors." (V)

"If you insist, then take another vial of tears for your side. It'll need another day at least. Don't argue." (K)

"Me argue? Never vith you kitty. Ge-orge, take care of her.....and yourself." (V)

"Thanks mate, I will. Take care Viktor." (G)

I watch as Vik and George shake hands, happy that they're both on good enough terms now compared to how Vik felt towards him only a few days before my wedding. My smile matches Vik's as he turns towards me and wraps me in a tight hug. For once, I don't complain because I know it may be a long while before we see each other again. I give him a soft kiss on the cheek before letting him step out onto the front step, disapparating back to his own home in Bulgaria.

"Well Kitty, when do you think it'll be safe to go back to the Burrow? It's a full moon in three days, you'll need to hunt. Not to mention you'll be leaving for Hogwarts in another few weeks." (G)

"I know, we can try to go back tomorrow morning I suppose. No doubt they'll be questioning everyone that was in the Order looking for information, but they won't do anything to me. My father sent a few letters earlier this summer concerning my safety. I think he threatened them in all honesty." (K)

"Kat?" (S)

"Yeah Scar?" (K)

"I know that if George can't talk you out of going back to Hogwarts, no one can. But, if you're going back then you really need to have your patronus worked out. I....well the issue came up in a dream of mine the other night." (S)

"I know I do, especially since I feel that Dementors will be a large player on Hogwarts grounds this upcoming year." (K)

"They most definitely will Kat." (S)

"You can't make a corporeal patronus love?" (G)

"No, remember truth or dare night so long ago? The best I have ever been able to do has been silver mist." (K)

"Well Fred and I can work with you at the Burrow if you'd like. I'd want you to be able to do one before you go back love." (G)

"Then we'll start as soon as we get home." (K)

"I ave put Dmitri to ved. I vill not be vorking at the ministry anymore, not until it is safe. Kat, may ve stay ere if you are to go vack to Ogwarts?" (D)

"Of course. It'll be safe with Vik as the secret keeper. Aleric, Fred, Tonks, and the vamp twins are allowed but otherwise no one else has been here or allowed the secret." (K)

"Thank you Kat, that means a lot to us. We would go home to the states, but I don't want to just leave y'all here in this mess." (S)

"I know, I wouldn't want to leave you either. But Scar, if it gets too dangerous I want you to promise me you'll leave with Donovan and Dmitri and get to safety." (K)

I see Scar hesitate and look as if she's about to argue with me until I look at her again. She finally nods and offers me a soft smile before her and Donovan go upstairs to their room after saying goodnight to us. I feel George take my hand as we begin to go upstairs and I feel mental exhaustion hit me as soon as we cross the threshold to our room.

I change into a pair of Pjs, as does George, before climbing into bed. I snuggle close to his chest just as he starts to run his fingers through my hair. I close my eyes and listen to his heartbeat, he's still a bit on edge, though I am as well. I open my eyes to find him staring at me with an almost lost look in his eyes. I know that look all too well at this point. He's worried and the way he's looking at me means he's worried about me.

"Georgie?" (K)

"Hmmm?" (G)

"Everything will be fine. I promise. I love you." (K)

"And I bloody love you too, you bloody beautiful creature. Just promise me you won't do anything stupid at Hogwarts." (G)

"I promise that even if I do, I'll come home to you." (K)

I lean up to meet his lips with mine as I feel him deepen the kiss. I feel his hands snake their way around my waist as mine go around his neck. He breaks the kiss for but a moment, grabbing his wand from the bedside table. I start to ask him what he's doing, but he casts the muffliato spell so we won't wake up anyone else in the house. I laugh a bit as does he, before setting his wand back down and turning back to me. He brushes some of the hair away from my face as I lean into his hand and smile.

"So bloody beautiful." (G)

Hello all! I would like to apologize for being so incredibly late updating this time. I've had a spell of rotten luck these past few weeks, from the loss of a few family friends to personal illness. I would like to personally promise that this book will be finished before the fall term starts back for me. So hopefully by the end of the month! I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday, and remember dears that you are all beautiful! Thank you so much for the reads, the votes, and the comments! Love you all!
