Mrs Weasley (George Weasley)

Chapter 19: stars

We ran to Dumbledore's office George's hand sweating in mine. Once we reach the office we see the rest of the Weasleys and Harry. Harry looks guilty while the rest are in tears.
"Ms Bennington, if you wouldn't mind stepping outside-"
"No, she stays with me." George said firmly.
"Please Professor McGonagall, I need her to stay." He softens his grip on my hand and his facial expression.
She looks to Dumbledore and he nods signaling I can stay.
"Your father was hurt during a task for the Order. He is currently in the hospital but he is alive. You all will be excused for 2 weeks to visit him. And that includes Ms Beaudry as well."
I felt George's entire body stiffen. I let go of his hand and turned to him rubbing his back. Fred was on his other side gripping his shoulder.
"George?"
He didn't even flinch, so I stood there and I rubbed his back.

They all went back to Gryffindor and I went to hufflepuff to gather our things. Once we met back in Dumbledore's office, we travelled by floo powder to get to the train station. Then Professor McGonagall took us to the hide out house from there. The whole time we were all silent. George gripped my hand so tightly my fingers were red.
We walked into the house and Molly ran up to the kids hugging them all with tears streaming down her face. I snuck over next to Tonks who was there and she put her arm around me.
"We will visit your father tomorrow I wanted to be here when you guys arrived. I've been sleeping in his room. You kids need to get some sleep." Mrs Weasley said between sniffles.
We all filed upstairs I set my things in the girls room, Ginny had already laid down and fallen back asleep. I snuck out peering into the hallway. I knocked on the door of the twins room and George peered out.
"I was just about to come get you. Can you sleep with me tonight?"
"Georgie why do you think I'm here?"
"Georgie?"
"Yep that's your name now."
He nodded and smiled pulling me into his room. Fred was already dead asleep. We climbed onto the small mattress and he wrapped me tightly in his arms. I kissed his bare chest and he shuddered.
"Get some sleep my love, your dad is going to need your humor tomorrow."
"Darling, I love you."
"I love you too George Weasley."
I kept myself awake until I knew he had drifted off to sleep.

"Oh that's gross. Please tell me you did not shag while I was in the room!"
I rubbed my eyes and sat up. Fred was standing by the mattress with a humored smile.
"No of course we didn't! Look, see?  I'm fully clothed." I respond still half asleep. George hadn't even budged. I snuck off the bed grabbing George's sweater and throwing it over my T-shirt. I wanted to help Molly with breakfast since I know shes a mess right now.
I head down to see her just entering the kitchen.
"Molly, let me handle breakfast this morning. You're going through a lot let me take this one thing off your hands."
"Thank you dear, you're such an amazing girl."
"Really it's no trouble."
I tie my hair up and get to work. About a half hour later I have pancakes, bacon, English muffins, toast, and oatmeal all on the table. I hear feet bounding down the stairs and I see Ginny, Ron, and Harry.
"I've got all my kids but one, where's George?"
"I'll go get him, he's probably still asleep. We were outside almost all day yesterday."
I bound up the stairs to see George sitting on the mattress back to the door.
"Good morning love, there's breakfast downstairs. I would've stayed until you woke up but I wanted to take cooking off of your moms hands this morning."
He didn't budge. I sit down next to him concerned. I place my hand on his knee and he finally turns to look at me.
"He could've died."
"I know George but, he didn't. You have to take a deep breath and tell yourself he's ok."
He suddenly pulled me into a huge hug. I ran my fingers lightly up and down his back.
"Emily, you have to promise me you'll always be by my side."
"I promise George. I promise on a million stars."

So I was going to make this chapter longer but then I decided I wanna put Christmas and everything in my next one!!
