I miss you so much and I need to know your safe...I know you better than anyone Aimes, and please don't do anything you will regret later on....
I love you,
Ronnie.
I watched my sisters owl fly off outside of my window for the twentieth time this month, and every single time i longed for a reply from my best friend. Aimee was still missing, but I knew in my gut that she was just with my cousin. I had this feeling deep inside that something was going on that neither of them wanted to tell me. Something strange was going on all around us, and I could almost feel the sudden change in mood everywhere I went. My sister was busier than ever with work, and more and more dark wizards were popping up all over the place.
Remus was helping out at the ministry with kingsley in the Auror department, so during the days they were both absent. I was ignoring the twins, and it has been a month since the incident at their joke shop. I hated to admit how much I missed those two, they would know how to keep me busy and I wouldent be sitting here bored day after day. But I really was not about to be the reason that those two werent on speaking terms, so for now I needed to stay away.
I spent my days reading healer books that Madam Pomfrey sent over for me to study before school started. I had about another month before I would be back on the Hogwarts express heading into Scotland for the second time in my life. I was so excited to begin my training and be one step closer to achieving my childhood dream. Most of the potions that were written in this book I already knew, along with the healing spells...so i was basically just reminding myself of things I learned a long time ago.
As much as I wanted to avoid the twins, I really needed to go to Diagon Alley and there was a huge chance of running into them. I needed to go to potage's Cauldron shop to replace my cauldron that exploded when I lent it to Ron at the end of the school year. He made the mistake of letting Seamus brew a sleeping draft and because it was Seamus....it obviously exploded. But unfortunately for me, the cauldron shop was beside Wealsey Wizard Weezes...
Being that it was the middle of summer and nearly 100 degrees outside, I quickly dressed in ripped jean Bermuda shorts and a baby pink burn out t-shirt. I grabbed my wand, scribbled a note to Remus in case he came home for lunch like normally does and apperated away....
I landed in the middle of complete chaos....I heard an explosion to my left and there were black blurs floating around. i held my wand at the ready and ducked behind a tipped bench that was in front of the ice cream shop. Glass was breaking in several shops, and I saw several sketchy people running out of Knockturn Alley. "Stupefy!" I shouted to a man that was running in my direction with his wand pointed directly at me. The spell hit him sending him into the building behind him...I sure picked the ideal time to come to town today...
I ran out of my spot as i ducked a rogue spell that whizzed past my head. There were small children running and screaming while trying to find their parents. Shops were in complete disarray and the shop owners were running outside trying to protect their property. I realized that the people causing all of this chaos were all masked, and that death eaters were once again standing around me.
I ran towards the joke shop desperate to make sure that the twins were ok, but tripped over something causing me to fall hard on my face. I screamed as I felt a bone crack in my elbow from trying to block my face from the cobblestone street. A death eater was making its way quickly towards me, and only then did I realize my wand had rolled away from me. Holding my arm with my uninjured one I slid backwards in the opposite direction.
The death eater was about to shoot a curse in my direction until a mass of red hair tackled him to the ground. I saw that it was Fred, and he had ripped the mask off of the man before punching him in the face. My eyes went wide as I watched the red haired man before me with a crazed look in his eyes. I had never seen Fred like this before. A pair of arms wrapped tightly around me and lifted me off of the ground, and I screamed before kicking behind me and running away. "Ronnie wait" I heard the person yell, and I turned around to see it was George.
I skidded to a stop before redirecting myself in the direction of the two Weasley men. George was pulling his twin off of the death eater, and George snapped his wand in half. The man started cursing at the twins and tried to attack before realizing he was outnumbered as both George and Fred had their wands pointed at his face. He shook his head before running back down the alley to a group of them.
I saw down the alley another explosion sound off inside of olivanders wand shop, and three men in cloaks drag out a man with a bag wrapped around his head. The man dragging him I saw was Fenrir Greyback, and a fire inside of me almost exploded as I saw the man that brutally murdered my father standing only feet away. I yanked Fred's wand out of his hand before running back down the alley.
"RONNIE NO!" I heard two voices yell behind me. I ignored the two men behind me, and ignored the pain throbbing in my arm and ran quickly to the sneering werewolf. "crucio!" I shouted towards him, but he just blocked it and it shot out into a window. I sent spell after spell as I kept running toward him, the smile never leaving his face. "I wonder if you taste as delicious as your father" He said licking his lips and walking towards me still dragging poor olivander behind him. I went to send "Incendio" at him but before I could he just flicked his wand knocking me back. "You will get your time you filthy half blood" He sneered and soon evaporated into thin air.
"No!" I screamed and watched as the dozen death eaters dissaperated behind him. There were black clouds of smoke everywhere and several cracks. I fell to my knees and yelled out in pain and looked down to see the bone in my elbow had positioned itself so it was sticking in the opposite direction. I clutched my arm tightly trying to quickly shove the bone back into position, but my attempts were useless.
"Ronnie, come on" Someone said behind me. I knew the twins were standing behind me but I ignored them staring at the spot where the wolf that killed my father once stood. I needed to see him again, and make him pay for what he did to my family... and I would have no problem in killing him if I ever saw him again. A pair of arms wrapped around me again as I was still positioned on the ground. I looked to see George carrying me in his arms back towards his shop at the other end of the alley.
"That was stupid Ronnie" George growled at me as Fred switched his wand in my hand for my own. "You could have been killed!" Fred exclaimed as he walked along side us. "I don't care" I said looking up into the sky as if Greyback would suddenly land in front of me again. "You should care! What would I tell your sister ? huh? Oh hello Tonks, see your darling sister ran off trying to kill a death eater...and oh yeah he ate her!" He yelled mocking a conversation he would never have. He shook his head and tightened the hold around my body. I tried wiggling out of his arms, but my attempts were useless as he was much bigger than me.
"He killed my father!" I growled back at him and clutched my wand so tightly in my hand it could have broken easily. Fred opened the door to the shop and waited until George and I were inside until he closed it and turned over the closed sign. "Put me down George" I said calmly as George ascended the stairs to the flat he and Fred shared above the joke shop. "Put me down!" I said louder.
"Gladly" George said and tossed me roughly onto the couch. I groaned as I bounced up and down a couple of times making my arm hurt even worse. I hated how prone I was to broken bones, and I could heal myself if the twins would leave me alone for ten seconds. "Ronnie your arm!" Fred exclaimed taking a look at the black and blue bruises that surrounded my forearm and the large lump from the protruding bone. "Gee Fred, you think!" I said sarcastically as he bend down beside me to examine it.
"I didn't notice that before" George said quietly and sat beside his brother. Fred reached out to touch it but I just swatted his hand away before his fingers could even graze my skin. I bit down on the collar of my shirt before stretching my arm out as far as it would let me, and wordlessly mending the broken bone in my arm. I cried out in pain and bit farther down on my shirt causing a hole to appear, but the immense pain I felt went away once my bone was snapped back into place.
I shook my arm a couple of times before looking up at the guys. They were both bending on their knees in front of me with identical looks of concern. "umm thanks for helping me" I said awkwardly. They both nodded but no other words were spoken, and I began to wonder how the two of them were doing together this past month.
"Are you two ok?" I asked them as i fiddled with my fingers, not knowing what else I should do. George looked over to Fred before the two of them shared an identical look of mischief that I saw so much before. "Were great, aren't we Georgie?" Fred asked his brother with a wink. "That we are Freddie" George said smiling at his twin. I laughed at the goofy grins that were plastered on both of their faces before they each took a seat on either side of me on the couch.
"Good to hear" I said softly and played with my wand in my hands. "You really scared us Ronnie" George said as he reached out and stopped my from playing with my wand by taking my hand in his and lacing our fingers together. "Please don't do that again..we cant lose you" Fred said, and reluctantly inched his hand towards my hand. I looked over to see a look of sadness filling his eyes, and I sighed before taking his hand as well.
And it was like we were back in Hogwarts again, just the three of us with no one else. I still haven't forgiven Fred for everything he said to me, But I can see how shaken up he is by what happened in the alley today. And George never did anything to me, He didn't deserve to be ignored like I had been. I didn't know what was going to happen with the three of us, or where all of our feelings were going to go...but for now we were just three best friends who needed each other...three people who were in love...and two wizards and one witch who were going to get hurt...
