American Teen [George Weasley Love Story]

The call to end it all

I was at Shell Cottage one day when an old galleon starting lighting up. I remembered this is what we used to communicate the dates for the DA meeting. But this was different. This time they were calling us to Hogwarts. Apparently something big was going to go down and we needed to be there.

I rushed into the kithen to find Bill and Fleur cooking.

"Bloody Hell Margaret. Is everything okay?" Bill asked as he jumped in surprise from my arrival. I was a bit disheveled since I had just gotten out of the shower.

"We need to go to Hogwarts. It's happening" Fleur and Bill both stopped what they were doing and grabbed their wands.

We apparated to Hogsmeade and used a passage to get to the Room of Requirements. There I spotted Fred and George. I ran over to them and gave them a big hug.

"Well boys, ready to cause some chaos?"

"Always" They said in unison.

George pulled me aside. "You sure you're ready?"

"For anything." I replied. I had said the same thing the night before he left Hogwarts. He kissed me on my forehead and said "When we get out of here I'm going to marry you immediately. Got that?"

"Yes sir" We gave each other one last hug before we observed everyone else in the rooms.

While Luna took Harry to the common room, I started catching up with everyone here. I hadn't seen most of them since I left Hogwarts. Most of them I only recognized from the DA. Eventually more people joined us while we waited for a signal to go. I met Oliver Wood, who used to be the Gryffindor quidditch captain. Angelina, Alicia, and Katie also came.

"I'll go out and check if we should go out now since Harry isn't back yet." I said. Harry was supposed to come get us, but that was obviously not happening.

"I'm going with you." George said.

"Me too" Fred added.

We walked out in the hall to see McGonagall duelling with Snape. He eventually started running away once Flitwick and Sprout joined her.

"QUEEN!" I shouted across the hall. McGonagall looked confused and looked in my direction. I waved enthusiastically.

A small smile grew on her face before she yelled back "Bring everyone to the Great Hall Margaret!" And she ran with Harry and Luna.

"Minnie is so iconic like I love her" I said. "She should be in charge of this school. If I survive this I'm adopting her as my mom." I told the twins. It's true. I disowned my actual mom but McGonagall was always there for me. Plus she's an actual queen.

"What about your actual mom?" George asked me. I never told him how I hate my mom now.

"It's 1998, George. Get with the times." I didn't feel like getting into details now. As a bonus, my answer confused him enough for me to run back into the Room of Requirements and send everyone to the Great Hall.

Bill had summoned the Order when we first go here, so by the time we arrived at the Great Hall I could see all the members including Kingsley, Remus, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and Tonks.

"I'm going to say hi to Tonks. If I don't see you again during the battle, remember these words: Fuck shit up and don't die."

"Inspiring" Fred said while giving me a hug.

"You should become a motivational speaker" George gave me a quick peck before I ran to Tonks.

"Tonks, what are you doing here? What about Teddy?" I asked her. She had only just had her kid a few weeks ago.

"I had to come. I've basically been training my whole life for this. He's safe with my mom, don't worry. But Margaret, I need you to remember that if something happens to Remus and I..."

"It won't" I said. I won't let anyone I love die tonight.

"You can't control that. Don't think you can. But IF something does, it's your job to take care of Teddy. Please promise me you will." She begged me.

"Of course I will, Tonks. I'll do anything for you. You know that. But by this time tomorrow you'll be curled up on the couch with your husband and child." I told her.

McGonagall then started announcing that any underage students should leave. We were split into groups.

I know that you are preparing to fight. Your efforts are futile. You cannot fight me. I do not want to kill you. I have great respect for the teachers of Hogwarts. I do not want to spill magical blood. Give me Harry Potter, and they shall not be harmed. Give me Harry Potter and I shall leave the school untouched. Give me Harry Potter and you will be rewarded. You have until midnight. Voldemort's voice rang throughout the Great Hall.

I knew at this moment that things were going to be bad. Sometime during the announcement Tonks had left. I was alone for now. I took a deep breathe before preparing to, in my own words, fuck shit up out there.

——
Midnight came far too soon. I made my way to the courtyard where I saw a bunch of death eaters trying to cross the bridge. "Explode it!" I yelled at the students that were gathered on one end.

"What?" I think Cho Chang shouted back.

"Blow up the bridge!" I yelled back, as I started running to help them. They got my message and by the time I arrived, there was a huge hole in the bridge and death eaters were falling to their end. I was still standing there when the protections around the castle were broken.

"Here we go." I whispered to myself. I ran towards a massive group of death eaters and started duelling them. The number of times I had done this with Voldemort's posse was causing it to get a little mundane. Of course, I was almost dying each time so I wouldn't say it was THAT boring.

Fighting for my life was exhausting. I couldn't see anyone I knew. I would fight one death eater, immobilize them, then move on to the next. I killed a few massive spiders, which were literally my worst nightmare. They were horrific and disgusting. But I kept on moving through the crowd, not letting my mind wander to the amount of people fighting that I loved. Just as I had knocked a death eater over the ledge, Voldemort's voice rang out.

You have one hour. Dispose of your dead with dignity. Treat your injured.

It was over for now. I rushed to the Great Hall to see what I could do. It might have been almost a full year since I had been at St. Mungo's, but I haven't forgotten my years of training. I was pretty close to the hall, but the destruction I saw shocked me.

Bricks were strewn everywhere from explosions. Dead or dying people were all around. I helped drag one of them into the hall. Then I got to work.
