Always Us ~ Fred Weasley

0.7

A few days had passed since Elia had her nightmare, Fred and George were grateful to see Elia acting like her usual bubbly and crazy self again. She hadn't had a nightmare since that night and in all honesty it was quite refreshing not only for Elia but Fred and George as well, they were already on edge with the shop, The Order and making sure Elia was okay.

They'd been a bit nervous before heading to bed since that night just because they'd hate for Elia to have another horrific dream again, it pained Fred and George to see her so upset and hurt over a nightmare about her psychotic Aunty, someone who was supposed to love and cherish their family.

Elia apologised to the twins several times since arriving back to the flat, though the boys assured her, constantly, that it was okay and that they were just worried about her, she couldn't help but continue to apologise and ask them if they were upset with her.

Elia loved Fred and George so so so much, they were like her other half... third, and while the two hated when Elia was mad at them, she hated them being mad at her just as much, if not more. One of her biggest fears was disappointing them.

She always feared they'd want nothing to do with her or put her down which the two gingers would never go to anyone, let alone someone like Elia.

Things seemed to be darker than usual these days, not only in the Wizarding world but the Muggle world too, the sky was always covered in large dark grey clouds, the air was ice cold all the time, the streets were practically empty except for the occasional Witch/Wizard or two and the fear in the air never seemed to vanish.

Snatchers had roamed the streets for weeks now grabbing any and all Muggle-Borns and Half-Bloods they'd come across leaving Fred and George to keep an extra protective eye on Elia.

Being a Half-Blood or Muggle-Born was almost like a crime to the Ministry, they'd been taking people in for Questioning— well, an interrogation more like it, to dig into how they were able to produce any magical abilities or for them to prove that they'd were in fact Witches/Wizards regardless of having a wand or being able to see the magical things around them.

"It's extra chilly today" George spoke walking out of his warm and cosy bedroom, and into the cold and brittle living room where Elia sat reading the muggle book her mother had gifted her.

The Weasley's, more Arthur than anyone else, were always fascinated in how Muggle inventions worked. Arthur was most curious about Plungers and magnates at the current point in time, he always asked Wendy and the girls about Muggle inventions, not they they minded in the slightest.

Elia loved spending time with Arthur explaining how everything worked, in fact Elia and Karlee gifted him a few Muggle things last Christmas which he was most thankful for.

"It is, isn't it?" Elia agreed pulling her knees up to her chest putting the book down against the coffee table as she watched George walk into the kitchen to make himself a cup of tea.

"When's your next shift at St. Mungo's? You haven't been there in a while- would you like one?" George looked towards his best friend with a warm smile fixing the sleeves of his sweater that Elia loved on the Twins.

"Yes, please. I was meant to have a shift yesterday but I received an owl saying Snatchers were circling around the hospital and since I'm a target they gave me leave so I wouldn't have to worry about getting taken from the hospital" Elia told George, the tall ginger nodded his head and listened to what Elia had told him grabbing two mugs off the top of the cabinet and placed them onto the counter.
