A/N: This is the sequel to Perfect Imperfections; you should read that one before this one so everything makes sense, but you don't have to. I hope you enjoy it

This story also skips through time quite a bit.

Six months went by and everything went down on May 2nd, 1998. It turned into a full on war and raging bloodbath of people from both the good and bad sides. Everyone who was in the Order showed up and fought, as did many students. A lot of lives were lost that day, including Fred and George Weasley.

Ashleigh was fighting near the twins when she saw a wall come crumbling down on top of them. She couldn't believe what she had witnessed; she did her best to clear the fallen stone once the area was clear. The seize fire was called by Voldemort and all bodies were moved into the Great Hall. Ashleigh freaked out when she saw the boys, as did the rest of the Weasley's and Hermione. Harry couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Ashleigh couldn't take it, so she left after giving them one last hug. She walked out of the front door, down the path, over the bridge and disapparated. She went to the first place she thought of, her Aunt's house. No one was there, her aunt and Ethan had gone into hiding, but she didn't know where else to go. She went to her room and packed a suitcase, with the intention of going home to Canada and starting a new life. She couldn't imagine life without George, but she would do her best.

Ashleigh booked a last minute flight and boarded her plane a few hours later. The flight was about 8 or 9 hours and once she landed in Canada, she didn't know where to go. She still had her bank account with savings from before she left so she went to the closest hotel. She decided she'd play it by ear and pay day-to-day as she didn't know what would happen in the coming days.

Once she got up to her room, she got into a nice warm bath and just cried. She cried until she couldn't cry anymore. She couldn't believe he was gone, but even more, she couldn't believe she just left the best life she ever had.

Back at Hogwarts, the war had resumed, Voldemort thought he had finished Harry Potter, but he was wrong. In the end Harry had ended Voldemort and his reign. After he was gone, everyone went back into the Great Hall and mourned over the ones they lost.

"They can't be dead", Molly sobbed as she kneeled in front of her twin boys. Hermione kneeled beside Fred and moved his hair from in front of his eyes, sobbing as well.

"Where's Ashleigh?" Ginny asked, through her tears. They all looked around and couldn't see her anywhere. Their hearts dropped into their stomachs, jumping to the worst conclusion.

"She can't be… Not her too", Molly said, still crying.

"She'll turn up… She has too", Hermione mumbled.

"We'll find her when this chaos calms down a bit", Harry told them.

A few hours later and they had searched the castle and the grounds but to no avail. They didn't know where she would have gone. She was with them before the battle resumed and saw what happened to the twins and then just disappeared.

"I think she ran away", Hermione told them. They all looked at her for an explanation. "She was here before the battle resumed, she saw what happened to the twins, it happened right in front of her. I don't think she could handle it". Everyone nodded to let her know that they understood what she meant.

They heard a faint cough and looked around for who it might be. Seeing that there was no one left in the Great Hall, Hermione leaned down to Fred's chest and felt his chest was moving. "Fred's alive!" She yelled. Ginny did the same thing with George.

"George is too", Ginny said and started sobbing again.

Both twins slowly opened their eyes and blinked a few times. They saw everyone's faces, staring at them. "Who died?" George asked.

"We thought you two did!" Molly shrieked, hugging her boys.

"Unless you all are dead as well, then we're alive", Fred told them. "Ow", he said as Molly squeezed him.

The Weasley's, Harry and Hermione took the twins to St. Mungo's to have them checked out. It turned out that they had broken almost all of their ribs when the wall had landed on them. George broke his leg, knee and ankle, Fred broke his arm. They both had major concussions from hitting their heads when they fell and were told they couldn't be left alone. They were given potions they had to take that would help mend the bones and fix the concussions, but because of the severity, it could take a while and be very painful.

"Where's Ashleigh?" George asked once they had gotten home a couple days later, George now on crutches. He was concerned when she never came to visit him in the hospital.

"We… We don't know", Hermione told him. "We couldn't find her anywhere. She wasn't amongst the lost and we didn't see her hiding or her body anywhere in the castle or grounds. I think she ran away, because we thought you guys were dead", Hermione explained. George's face paled.

"Did someone look at her Aunt's house?" George asked. They all looked at each other.

"I can't believe we didn't think of that", Hermione mumbled, smacking herself in the forehead. "I'll go", she added. She grabbed floo powder and headed off. She got back to Tracie's and found Tracie sitting there with Ethan.

"Hermione?" She asked.

"Have you seen Ashleigh? She disappeared from the battle and no one can find her", Hermione told her.

"She was here, before Ethan and I came out of hiding. She left me a note, saying she was going back home. She asked me not to tell anyone, but I want her to come back here", Tracie told her.

"I'll go find her. I'll try to get an international portkey to Canada. Ontario, right?" Hermione asked.

"Yes. I'm assuming Toronto. That's the closest airport to where she used to live", Tracie told her. "Thank you Hermione".

"Not a problem. She needs to come back to see something", Hermione said. She said her goodbyes and flooed to the Ministry of Magic. It had only been a couple days, so the Ministry was still way out of order, but she hoped they would allow her to use an international portkey without filling out all the paperwork.

"Miss Granger, I am only doing this because you were involved in the taking down of Voldemort. I am not allowed to do this but since everything is so in the air right now, I will do it just this once", the lady in charge of international portkey's told her.

"Thank you", Hermione smiled. She didn't like that it was being done because she helped defeat Voldemort, but she had to bring Ashleigh back. They gave her 24 hours before the portkey would return on its own. But she could activate it early if she wanted or needed too.
