Chapter 1 - We Can't Do This Alone
Hermione was clutching Harry tightly to her chest and weeping. Are you happy now? She silently screamed in her head at Voldermort. Are you happy he's crying like a baby and reliving the day his parents died? No, you won't be because you're a bastard who takes pleasure in torturing people with their memories and you want him dead anyway! She said disgusted.
He let out a bloodcurdling scream that shook her and made her turn away in agony. I need help, she thought, we need help. She waved her wand to pack the tent and all of its contents into the beaded bag. She waved her wand a second time to disable the safety charms. Then she grabbed him, closed her eyes and disapperated straight to the Burrow with a loud pop.
"Don't move!" ordered a commanding voice and her eyes snapped open. She was staring down the wand of someone. She squinted through the fading light and saw the beacon of hope, the red hope. She pulled out her wand while holding harry securely to her chest.
"Who are you?" she yelled, taking a couple of steps back.
The man ignored the question, "how did you get inside the wards?" he said angrily. "Who are you working for?" Hermione had been squinting at the person and had only just figured out who it was.
"Charlie?" She muttered in disbelief.
"Who are you working for?" He repeated more forcefully.
Her heart sank. "Charlie? Don't you remember me? It's Hermione!" She said desperately wishing he would lower his wand.
"Prove it."
"I am Hermione Jane Granger, known as 'Mione to the boys. (1) We gave your friends the dragon Norbert now known as Norbeta on top of the astronomy tower in our first year. You sat next to me in the stands in the first Triwizard task and were probably more nervous than I was for Harry and you were the first to hex the horntail afterwards in Harry's name!" She said.
"Fine,. You need to get in the house people are so worried about you!" He said trying to usher her into the house.
"Wait!" she said standing firm, "Prove you are who you say you are!"
"I am Charlie Kenan Weasley, second eldest of the Weasley family. I told you once that it didn't make a difference as to how much money I earned because it couldn't ever make up for the love I had received as a kid as poor as we were." He said with a grim smile.
"Why are you here?" He said curiously peering at her. "I thought you had a private mission with-"
"Shut up and help me get Harry inside!" Charlie grabbed hold of his legs and she took hold of his upper torso and they half dragged him to the mismatched home on the hill. One of the twins say them coming and yelled "Oi George, its Charlie returning with the intruder." His twin was at his side in an instant, his wand raised.
"Lumos!" George muttered. Freds eyes widened.
Not sure if her middle name is Jane or Jean. Either way you know what I mean. And by the boys I mean Harry ad Ron, not just boys in general.
