"To Where You Are"
Chapter 1 "The Funeral That Still Haunts,"
Amelia sat on her couch alone, Noah and Paige fast asleep in their beds. She pulled out a scrapbook. She opened it to the first page. She stared at the photo of them, her friends, most of them now dead.
Lily, James, Marlene, Gideon, Fabian, Edgar, her mum, her dad, two nieces, two nephews, and Dorcas, all dead. Alice and Frank tortured to insanity. Kids left without parents, families left without loved ones and empty hearts that will never fill again.
Amelia sobbed for the first time in a long time. She missed them all. She turned the page unable to bear it anymore - only to be greeted with her wedding day photo.
Both Fabian and her looked so happy, carefree and so full of life. It was her best memory of the war. Their marriage had been private, only a few people knew back then. Now everyone knows. They look at her with sympathy, which she doesn't want. She wished she could see him smile and laugh now, but that would never happen. He was gone. They were all gone.
Amelia got up went into the cabinet got a glass and Firewhisky. She poured some into the glass. She drank one glass after another, again and again and again. She knew Fabian would be disappointed with her, but she couldn't stop.
Then she had a flashback to funeral. The funeral that still haunted her to this day. The one day she can't forget, even while drinking. The cause of her drinking, her pain and her mistakes.
*~* Flashback *~*
Amelia walked up the podium at the front of the funeral home. She didn't look at her dead husband, bother-in-law and sister-in-law. She didn't want to see them dead again. She reached the podium and took a deep breath.
"Some of you here may not know that Fabian and I got married at the beginning of this war. Along with Marlene and Gideon," said Amelia starting to chock on her own words.
"Fabian and I had a son. His body was never found, but he is believed to be dead. Marlene and Gideon had a daughter, whose body was also never found, but she also is believed to be dead. For all you here who have lost someone, but no body was found can understand why I hold onto a tiny bit of hope they are alive," said Amelia holding back the flood of tears.
"I have two poems I want to read. One is for my husband, Fabian, and the other for Marlene," She said.
"I am not as strong as I thought I was
Since you have been gone
I sit and cry all night long
to dusk to dawn.
Another day comes and once again
I have to pretend that I am strong
As soon as the day is over
I can go home and quit pretending that
I am strong
I sit and cry all night long
My Dearest Darling because
you are gone and now that I am home
I don't have to pretend to be strong!" said Amelia finding it even harder to speak but knew she had to.
"Fabian had always been the foundation of our marriage. He was always there to protect me even if I didn't want, or need it. He was the carefree one. He always smiled, laughed and joked his way through life no matter what," said Amelia.
"When you were here, you made me smile
When you were here, I could run a mile
When you were here, I didn't have to cry
When you were here, bad things went flying by
When you were here, I never felt alone
When you were here, I was as sweet as an ice cream cone
When you were here, I felt no fear
That is...when you were here," She read.
"Marlene was always brave, and strong. Even after her whole family had been murdered she tried to stay strong and brave for them. She went on each day with a smile, a laugh, a joke, a prank and an endless love. She loved rain, snow and sun. She loved all animals, she loved every friend she had and she loved everything she could. Gideon and her were a perfect match for each other. Their daughter was always giggling, smiling, playing and falling," said Amelia leaving the podium and accidentally looking at them. Seeing their pale, cold faces, she was reminded of everything she had lost and the tears she had tried so hard to keep at bay cascaded down her cheeks. She didn't wipe them, she wanted everyone to see them and to know that she couldn't take the pain of losing everything she held dear to her anymore.
Amelia looked over at Molly, and Arthur. Molly was crying while Arthur just held her. Their kids had no idea what was going on, well, the younger ones. William and Charlie kept asking why their uncles and aunt were in 'oddly shaped brown beds'.
Molly composed herself, gave Arthur a nod and walked up the podium. She too avoided looking at the lifeless bodies of her friend and siblings and took a deep breath before stepping up beside Amelia.
"I want to thank Amelia for her words and to let her know we'll be there for her. I want everyone to know how much I loved my brothers. Gideon and Fabian were always up to something. Fabian was always the leader and Gideon was his twin's follower. We had our moments growing up when we would yell and fight with each other, but somehow we always made up," said Molly with a good amount of regret detectable on her voice. "They loved to play with my twins. I remember their kids' births. Paige was always smiling, giggling, her lack of words was made up by her actions, stubborn, she was showing great talent already and her Metamorphmagus talents made her special to everyone who meet her. Noah always had this big grin on his face, he laughed form the bottom of his belly, he was very quiet, always following anyone he could, adventurous and he did so many silly little things you couldn't help but laugh at," said Molly starting to choke up.
"Marlene was able to handle the pranks, jokes and fighting. She was the peacemaker. The third 'musketeer' to their prankster trio. She was able to handle anything life threw at her. Gideon was her foundation, and Paige was her world," said Molly starting to cry. "I also have a poem for my brothers and Marlene,"
"Fabian was the strong, fearless leader,
Gideon was the loyal, smart follower,
Marlene was the fun-loving, gentle peacemaker,
Together they were the Trio of Pranks.
Gideon and Fabian weren't just twins,
Or brothers,
They were best friends,
They stood true until the end.
Marlene was Gideon's heart,
Fabian's friend,
For she made the tri in trio,
She never left Gideon not even in death.
Together the may rest for eternity.
As they would say if they were here, cheers to pranks!" said Molly crying at the end of her poem.
"Like Amelia, I hold onto the little bit of hope that the kids are alive. Maybe someday they will be here again. Whoever may have them please take care of them." said Molly, sobbing uncontrollably as she left the podium and sat next to Arthur again.
*~* End Flashback *~*
"Mum, please stop drinking. It's not going to help," said Noah bringing Amelia back to reality.
"Noah," said Amelia, not fully drunk. "You're right. I'm not helping anything. I can't imagine how angry your father would if he could see me now."
"He wouldn't be angry, he would want to help you. At least that's what I understand from what you've told me about him." said Noah.
"You're right again. Get the alcohol from the cabinet over there, and bring it here," said Amelia.
Noah did that, unsure of what his mum was planning, but hoped it was better then drinking it all. It took several trips to get it all.
Amelia poured each bottle one, by one, by one down the drain. She knew she had to do this. She couldn't keep living like this. This wasn't the only thing that needed to change. She was going to have to tell Molly, and Arthur the truth, send Paige and Noah to Hogwarts, and tell the world Paige and Noah are alive.
Over at the Burrow all the kids were sleeping, but Molly, and Arthur weren't. All of the 'what if's was running through Molly's head. Arthur was trying to put up with Molly rambling on.
"Molly, quiet, we'll never know," said Arthur.
"I just know Paige and Noah are still alive. I just know it," said Molly.
"Oh, Molly, just give it up," said Arthur rolling over.
"What if Amelia has been hiding them from the wizarding world?" asked Molly.
"Well, they would be in good hands and she would someday let them be known again. And if they are we'll just accept them as family and be glad Amelia kept them safe," said Arthur.
"I've heard rumors over the years of people seeing Amelia with two kids," said Molly.
"Then they are alive and Amelia is doing the best she can for them. She is able to give any child a better life then what we could," said Arthur.
Little did Molly, Arthur and the whole wizarding world know that Molly was right. Two kids, with great talent and who could change the whole world are still alive, but only if they understood why things were done as they were, what happened that night, why they lived, how they lived and, most importantly, their future.
