Age of Mischief ~ George Weasley [Harry Potter] Fanfic

St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries

****Bethany' s point of view****

Sirius turned to us and I realized I was clutching George's hand so hard it must of hurt. I tried to let go but he didn't let me.

My head hurt and my legs were shaking. I sat down at the table.

'What's going on?' Asked Sirius who was unshaven, and he was still in his day clothes, although we were all in our pajamas. He held out his hand to help Ginny up. 'Phineas said Arthur's been badly injured -'

'Ask Bethany and Harry.' Said Fred.

'Yeah, I want to hear this for myself.' Said George. He turned to look at me and sat down. I gulped and looked at Harry. He sighed slightly and told them what happened. As he talked the images flashed before my eyes.

Mr Weasley was walking down a corridor. I was at ground level, zig zagging towards him. When I got behind him I pounced and sunk my teeth into his arm.

But, my teeth were fangs.

And I was a snake.

I left him lying on the ground to die.

He was bleeding from several deep wounds in his arm.

Although, listening to Harry, it sounded as though he altered it slightly. He had. He was saying it like he was looking from the shadows. Watching from the sidelines.

Ron was very white and glanced at him. When he was done, Fred, George, and Ginny stared at him.

'Is Mum here?' Said Fred, addressing Sirius.

'She probably doesn't even know what's happened yet.' Said Sirius. 'We needed to get you here before Umbridge could intervene. I should think Dumbledore is letting her know as we speak.'

'We have got to go to St Mungo's.' Said Ginny. 'Sirius have you got any cloaks or something?'

'Hang on, you can't go tearing off to St Mungo's!' Exclaimed Sirius.

'Course we can go to St Mungo's if we want.' Replied Fred. 'He's our dad!'

'And how are you going to explain how you knew Arthur was attacked before the hospital even let his wife know?'

'What does that matter?' George said hotly. I glanced at him and started getting irritated.

'It matters because we don't want to draw attention to the fact that Harry and Bethany are having visions of things that are happening hundreds of miles away. Do you have any idea what the Ministry would do with that information?' Said Sirius, mirroring my emotions. My two friends looked as if they didn't give a damn about the Ministry did about anything.

'Imagine the headlines...' I said gently and they glanced at me and sighed.

'Somebody else could have told us the information...' Ginny said.

'Like who?' Sirius said impatiently. 'Listen, your dad has been hurt while on duty for the Order and things are fishy enough as it is, without his children knowing about it seconds after the attack! You could seriously damage the Order's -'

'We don't care about the damn Order!' Shouted Fred, making me jump.

'It's our father dying we're talking about!' Yelled George. I glared at the pair of them and thought about shouting myself, but I had a better idea.

'Your father knew what he was getting into and he went thank you for messing things up for the Order!' Said Sirius, equally angry. 'This is how it is - this is why you're not in the Order - you don't understand - things are worth dying for!' George glanced at me and I frowned to myself.
