American Teen [George Weasley Love Story]

Pt 2: transition

*Pt 2 takes place over the course of OOTP*

It was a crazy end to the school year. It turns out the teacher we thought was Mad-eye Moody was actually some escaped convict death-eater named Barty Crouch Jr. Instead of the house cup, we had a memorial where Dumbledore revealed it was Voldemort who killed Cedric. It took both twin to wrestle me back into my seat after I tried to apparate to go kill that son of a bitch. But they calmed me down. Before I left, I went to say goodbye to Prof. McGonagall and thank her for all her help this year and for watching out for me. I hugged her, which surprised her in the beginning but then she quickly returned my embrace.

I thought the worst was behind me, but when I returned home I found our apartment packed in boxes. 

"Mom, what's going on?" I asked my mom, who turned to face me with a grave expression on her face.

"Honey, we can't stay here any more now that Voldemort has returned. It's not safe. We're going back to the US."

"No. You can't make me leave. You drag me here to England and take me away from all I ever knew, and after one year, you want to go back? Why! How is it any more dangerous for us than for anyone else here. I can't return back to Ilvermorny after disappearing for a year. I won't leave again Mom; I just can't!"

"You can and you will. You are so strong, but right now it's not safe for us here." 

Just then an explosion knocked us backwards. 

"What the-" I saw death eaters start to flood our apartment as they started coming towards us. I had turned 17 in April, so I could legally do magic now. I started firing spell after spell. 

"MARGARET GO" my mom yelled. I had never heard her so serious and desperate, even back in the US with my father. But as I tried to apparate, a death eater grabbed onto me. This caused me to lose focus for a fraction of a second, which caused me to splinch.

I apparated to the only other place I knew in the UK. I was in extreme pain, but I still had the death eater problem. I started to duel the death eater even when my vision started turning blurry. Eventually I was able to hit him with a spell that tied him up in ropes before disarming him. I leaned over to pull off his mask; I didn't recognize him. I turned to see a group of redheads running at me from their house. I smiled slightly to myself-I had made it. Then I passed out. I really need to stop doing that.
