The Weasley twins and me!

A Fiery Christmas.

The past few months were quiet. I had not been contacted by the Order, neither were the twins. Finally Tonks and Remus had declared there love for each other and were at last a couple. I woke up; it was about a week before Christmas. My scar’s had healed over, but they were still there. Every morning I do the same thing. I study the scars in the mirror, running my fingers over them. It just made me happy to be alive and still human. They did not hurt anymore, just a mental pain remained.

“They look fine.” I heard Georges voice say from behind me. I saw him in the mirror and smiled. The smile soon faded as I realised I was in my bra. I threw my arms over my chest and quickly fumbled for a shirt.

“Don’t you ever knock.” I breathed as I slid a Hufflepuff jumper over my head.

“When have I ever?” He joked. I turned around and glared at him.

“So what do you want?” I finally asked sitting down on my bed.

“Mother wants to know if you are coming to ours for Christmas. Tonks and Lupin will be there as well as Harry.” He told me.

“Yeah it sounds good.” I smiled.

Soon enough Christmas came. The twins were already at the burrow, I was with Remus and Tonks. I promised them I would stay with them before and after. When we got to the Burrow Mrs Weasley threw herself on me. Her embrace was tight but warm.

“They are out the back.” She whispered in my ear and then hugged Tonks. I went in and I saw Mr Weasley talking to Harry no doubt about muggle’s. Ginny was sitting on the floor looking through her presents with Ron. I waved and went out the back. I could not see them. I heard a rustle from the bushes. I walked closely to them, a whoosh sounded behind me, making me jump.

“Hey Electra!” I heard Fred scream.

“Like our Christmas presents?” George waved. They were each riding new brooms. I knew they were saving up for them; they must have got money for Christmas to afford them. They landed and I saw they were Nimbus 2000’s.

“Very nice.” I said admiring them.

“Want to have a go?” George asked wiggling his eyebrows.

“After last time, I don’t think so.” I laughed.

“Oh come on don’t spoil it.” Fred laughed. I sighed and hopped the back of George’s broom. With out warning we were off.

“Just like old times!” George shouted against the wind. This was the fastest I had ever flown in my life. I looked down at the Burrow.

“Wow, I did not realise this place was so big!” I said in awe. The twins laughed and did some tricks. I was holding tight to George’s stomach, probably cutting off any air.

“Get down from there dinner is ready!” I heard the shrill voice of Mrs Weasley call. The twins circled a few time before reluctantly setting down. As we walked in Mrs Weasley smiled and me and glared at the twins, who were high fiving. The dinner table was long and full of people; I sat down between the twins. The food on the table was in it masses. The twins were pilling up to food. I do say Mrs Weasley was a fantastic cook.

“It is lovely Molly.” Tonks smiled at Mrs Weasley. It was beginning to get dark and Remus and Tonks wanted to go, especially since it was a full moon tomorrow. Whilst Tonks and Remus were saying goodbye to Mr and Mrs Weasley outside I was standing with Fred and George inside.

“Enjoy it?” Fred asked.

“Yeah it was nice, a bit full though.” I laughed.

“Yeah mum always does cook for thirty!” George chuckled.

“I got to go somewhere, see you later Electra.” Fred coughed and hugged me and he disappeared up stairs.

“He gets cranky if he doesn’t sleep.” George laughed.

“Yeah don’t I know it?” I smiled back. We stood there in an awkward silence. As we stood there some mistletoe randomly appeared above our heads. My heart stopped, and I went red. “Well isn’t that convenient.” I whispered to myself, knowing Fred was behind it. George was also looking up at it with a smile.

“It would be bad luck to break tradition.” He cheekily grinned.

“Would it?” I asked as he stepped closer to me. I looked up at him. He was very close now. I could feel his breath on my face.

“Hurry up and do it already!” I heard Ginny squeal behind us.

“Go away!” George shouted throwing a book at her and she ran upstairs. I laughed and George returned to staring at me. He was getting closer and closer, less than a centimetre now. I closed my eyes ready for what was going to happen. Suddenly a cackle could be heard from outside. I turned my head towards the noise, quickly brushing my lips against Georges.

“What was that?” I gasped. As we ran outside a line of black smoke drew a circle of fire around the Burrow. The black smoke then transformed into Bellatrix Lestrange. She had her evil grin spread all over her face. Tonks and Remus drew out there wands ready. Then Harry pushed passed us all. At the sight of him Bellatrix ran into the crop field and Harry chased after her.

“I killed Sirius Black, I killed Sirius Black!” I heard her shrill voice cry.

“Harry no!” I Remus cried and chased after him.

“Remus!” Came Tonk’s voice as she chased after him. The barrier of fire turned into a alive beast and fought with Tonks and Remus keeping them away. Now Ginny has pushed passed us and ran through the fire and after Harry. Now Mr Weasley chased in after her. It was all happening so fast. My heart was racing. Another movement was seen in the crops. Remus had heard it too. He looked to where it was coming from. Then that horrible face appeared. It was Greyback. Without a thought Remus chased in after him and so did Tonks. I went to run after them but a strong arm wrapped around my waist and picked me up.

“No.” I heard George whisper in my ear as my legs kicked.

“I can’t loose them!” I screamed as George put me down and hugged me tight to his chest. Now Ron and Fred were outside too.

“Harry?” We could hear Ginny call. Suddenly amongst the chaos silence came across, you could see no movement in the bushes and no sound. I closed my eyes and hugged George tighter. My head was side ways so I could see what was happening. Suddenly flashes of white and Stupify spells could be seen. I tense and George hugged me tighter. Suddenly silence again. This time longer. Then the two puffs of Black smoke rose from the field. I breathed a sigh of relief thinking they were going. But then they headed towards the Burrow. George pulled me back as they burst into the house. The old Burrow combusted into flames. We all stood in disbelief at what was happening. Such a lovely wonderful family home was now being burnt to the ground. George’s arm around me went limp. Mr Weasley now came running back through the crops.

“Molly!” He shouted hugging her. The kind gentle woman was staring at her home on fire. Her face sad and in shock. Harry and Ginny now came back, wet and stood next to Ron. Ginny started to cry. Finally Remus and Tonks came back and I threw myself onto Remus.

“I am so glad you’re safe.” I whispered.

“Me too.” He said back. We pulled out of the hug and returned to watch in shock as the Weasley family home burnt to the ground.
