harry potter: the twins who lived

chapter forty-four.

That night the celebrations were high, music having been played in the tent, as emma watched the guests dancing with one another. She caught sight of jinx and george, who were dancing together, as they had been laughing. Bill and fleur had been dancing together as well, emma smiling at the newlyweds, as they gave each other expressions of love. Luna had also been dancing, with a man who had been taller than her, who she assumed was her father due to his hair.
“ having fun?”
“ hey gin,” emma smiled at the girl, “ yeah the party is amazing.”
“ do you want to dance?” asked ruth as he was in his human form, standing beside emma.

“ no,” emma shook her head at him, “ i’m fine just standing here.”
A sudden flashing light appears in the tent, the people inside gasping and murmuring, as the light floats within the air.
“ the ministry has fallen,” came kingsley shacklebolt's voice from the light, “ the minister of magic is dead.”
Emma’s stomach drops when looking at the light, flashing images appearing, as screaming can be heard.
“ they are coming,” kingsley whispers.
The whispering repeats from some of the guests, as the light is distinguished, turning into nothingness. People run disapparating, clouds of smoke appearing, it was the death eaters.

“ emma!” she turns to sirius, “ run! Go with harry!”
She never had time to speak, as ruth grabbed her arm, pulling her with him as they ran.
“ ruth!” she shouts and he disappears into her shadow.
“ emma!” hermione cries when seeing the red haired girl.
They grabbed the others hand, as harry and ron were with them, apparating away from the attack. They had made it to london, the four moving out of the way, when a car honks at them.
“ where are we?” asked ron.
“ shaftesbury avenue,” said hermione, “ i used to come to the theater here with mum and dad.”

“ i don’t know why i thought of it,” she sighed, “ it just popped into my head.”
“ this way,” she said taking the lead.
They walked passed the crowds of people, hermione leading them down, as they walked down an alleyway.
“ we need to change,” she informs as they stop.
She hands ron her purse, which he holds begrudgingly, his eyes popping when she stuffs her arm inside.
“ what the ruddy?”
“ undetectable expandable charm,” she explains.

She takes two pairs of clothing, handing each to emma and harry, as they took them from her.
“ you’re amazing you are,” ron compliments.
“ always the tone of surprise,” hermione smiled at ron.
She held the bag up, a loud sound of cluttering is heard, and hermione gave a small cringe.
“ ah,” she sighed, “ that’ll be the books.”
The four soon find places to hide, as they changed, placing their wedding attires away. Hermione once again took the lead, having the three follow her, as they walked into a diner.

“ what about all the people at the wedding?” emma asked when they sat down.
“ do you think we should go back?” asked harry.
“ they were after you,” said ron as he looks at the twins, “ we’d put everyone in danger by going back.”
“ ron’s right,” said hermione.
“ ahem,” they looked at the waitress, “ coffee?”
“ cappuccino please,” said hermione.
“ same here,” said emma.

“ you?” she asked ron.
“ what they said.”
“ same,” said harry.
The waitress nods to them, walking back as her music is played, going into the kitchen.
“ so where do we go from here?” asked ron, “ leaky cauldron?”
“ it’s too dangerous,” said hermione.
“ she’s right,” said emma.
