The Only One (George Weasley Love Story)

Falling

*George's POV*

"Boys, boys get up now!"

I groaned as I sat up in bed, it was light out so obviously it was morning as I rubbed my eyes, I looked up and saw dad standing in the door looking flustered.

"Get up you two, grab your packs."

My blood turned to ice as I glanced over at Fred, we shared a look as we silently jumped from our bed and got dressed quickly. I grabbed my rucksack from under my bed and shouldered it as I quickly walked down the hall with my wand out, there was only one reason dad would wake us up early in the morning and look to frantic. Snatchers were upon us.

"Remember what we talked about last night?" dad commented as he came to my side before we walked out the door at a quick pace.

"Yes dad, if things get really hairy Fred and I will head to the states...you and mum will be alright though won't you?" I whispered as I walked past the barrier that was around our safe house.

"Don't worry about your mother and I, I need you two to be safe. With Ginny at Hogwarts and Bill and Charlie safely hidden in their homes, its just you two and Ron that need the most protection right now."

"I don't want to leave dad," I muttered as Fred appeared at my shoulder.

"You need to follow the plan accordingly, just stay there until we send an owl. When you get an owl, it should be safe again," dad nodded as we hurried through the woods.

"Dad, please be careful."

"You too Georgie," dad gave me a smile and stopped short. Fred and I turned to look at him, his eyes were brimmed with unshed tears and he had a goofy smile on his face; he gave a shaky breath. "We love you both so much, I don't want to split up...but if it comes down to that I want you to know that I love you both immensely. I'm proud of both of you and I love you. If we're separated, please stay safe," dad smiled at us.

Fred nodded and I blinked away tears from my eyes before hugging my father, "I love you too dad. I promise we'll be alright."

"Aw, what a lovely family moment. Shame I had to go and ruin it eh?"

My blood was ice and I turned as if I were surrounded by quicksand, moving rather slowly as I faced the intruder. Scabior, one of the most well-known snatchers, stood before us smirking. This was not going to end well.

"Well, if it isn't three members of the Weasley family. How lovely for me to have found you three together...the Ministry will pay me handsomely for you," Scabior grinned evilly as he pulled out his wand.

I shifted my rucksack on my back as I lifted my wand, "we will not be going to the Ministry." The hairs on the back of my neck made me shiver at the possible thought of being dragged there, dad told us horror stories of what has been going on over the past few months, and if snatchers were looking for you and your family to make a quick buck from the Ministry...there was no way you'd come out of that alive.

"Don't test your luck boy," there was rustling in the trees around us and soon there were three other people slowly moving towards the small scene.

"Ah, bet you're just ready to see how long we last against you," I sneered as Scabior chuckled.

"listen here you little-" But I didn't hear the rest of that because Fred threw a spell at Scabior and grabbed my arm before we made a hasty escape.
