Forever, my love

4. The Mystery

• George's POV•

I watch as Lilac walks away, there was something about her that i couldn't quite figure out.

"Let's eat" Fred says as we walk into the great hall.

I couldn't really concentrate on anything, i felt as thought i knew this girl, she reminded me of something. Someone.

After lunch we head back to the Gryffindor common room and hang out for a while.

"Fred, i heard you and that new girl are potions partners" Ron said.

"Yes, indeed we are brother" Fred replied.

"I hope you know that she is a Slytherin she cannot be trusted" Ron said firmly.

"I know little bro, but there's something about her that reminds me of..." Fred says as his voice trails off.

"Rose" I say, breaking the silence.

"Rose?" Ron asked looking confused.

"You might not remember, but when we were younger Fred and i had this friend, her name was Rose. Us 3 did absolutely everything together, we were inseparable." I say as Ron looked at me still confused.

"So what happened?" Ron asked.

"Well one day, we were all outside playing as we usually did, then suddenly her mother ran outside and told her that they had to leave immediately. Rose began to question where her father was as she hadn't seen him in a while, her mother told her not to worry and that to keep her father and our family safe that they had to leave. Shocked and confused, Rose obeyed her mother's wishes.

Before she left she gave us both a tight hug and said "no matter what, we will always find our back to each other, always?"

"Forever, my love" i said as i hugged her tightly back.

"Forever and always" Fred adds as he comes in for a hug.

And well, that was the last time we saw her." I say, explaining what had happened.

Fred and i gave each other a sympathetic look, that's how i knew i wasn't the only one that missed her terribly.

We sit in silence once again.

"Ready for quidditch practice" Oliver's says, as he barges into the common room.

• Lilac's POV

It took me about 30 minutes to get home today, usually it'll take about 10 but i decided to walk through the town and get a butter beer.

As i walked in i saw Felix run to me as i picked him up and gave him a kiss, he purred and lay into my chest.

"Honey, is that you?" mum called out from the kitchen.

"Yeah" i replied as i took off my shoes and walked into the kitchen.

"So, how was it tell me everything" she said as i sat down on a stool.

"Well, not all that terrible but it was far from good" I reply.

"It was your first day, it'll only get better from here" she said.

I hope she's right.

"Did you make any friends" she asked looking concerned.

"Um, acquaintances" i say.

"And who might they be, tell me about them" she asked.

"Well my first class was defence against the dark arts and i got partnered with a guy named Gregory Goyle"

"And what's he like"

"Well he's nice, but he seems about over protective i kinda got a weird vibe but it may just be me overthinking."

"Why's that?"

"Well my next class was potions and i got partnered with a guy named Fred Weasl.."

"Fred Weasley?!" she says almost spilling her drink.

"Yeah..are you okay mum?"

"I'm fine honey, are you hungry how about i make us some dinner. What do you feel like?" she said as she rushed around the kitchen, frantically trying to something to cook.

"I'm fine thanks i think i'll just go to my room" i say rushing out of the kitchen.

What was that about? why did she freak out when i said his name, it doesn't make sense.

I lay in bed that night with a million thoughts rushing through my head.

Why did she react like that?. Who is Fred Weasley really?. Is there something she's hiding from me?.

No that's impossible, she's my mother she wouldn't hide something from me.

I go to check the time. It's 2:38am. I needed to sleep but i just can't.

I decided to go for a walk. just a quick 10 minute walk to ease my mind a little.

I begin to walk downstairs and suddenly stop as i hear someone talking from downstairs.

"No Molly, you don't understand i'm trying to keep your family safe, if they find out your family associates with mine they'll come after yours too." My mum says sounding very stressed.

"Please just until all of this blows over, i love your family deeply and i don't want anything bad to happen to them just let me fix this so everything can go back to normal.." she then pauses as the person on the line starts talking.

"Okay thankyou so much" she says as she hangs up.

What the hell is going on.

I definitely need a walk after this. I go upstairs and carefully climb out of my window, trying not to make any noise so my mum didn't hear.

As i walked in the Cold, Dark, Dimly lit street i started feeling nauseous. What does all of this mean? Are we in danger? And is it something to do with my father?.
