How to tell Mummy
George stands in front of The Burrow and tries to gather all the courage Gryffindors are so famous for. How the hell am I supposed to tell Mum about Séléne's suspicion? George was not at all happy about any of the events in the last couple of months.
Aurora and Rolanda had decided to send Séléne to Rolanda's parents. In a small village in the most remote corner of Wales. It was maddening.
She had just finished her last year in Hogwarts and had wanted to move to London. George had already found a nice little flat in Diagon Alley near Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes. She would go to University in the day and they could spend the evenings together. Giving Fred time to go out with girls and eventually bring them home. The poor bloke is still not over Angelina. We'll see how much longer it lasts.
But now Séléne is to spent time with her grandparents in Wales and their wonderful plan is destroyed. Heck!
And to top the howl thing he has to tell his Mum and Dad that some Death-Eaters are after his mother to kidnap her and bring her to asshole-number-two-right-after-You-Know-Who-himself so that this bastard can have revenge. Just shot me! Put me out of my misery, please! When he believes Séléne, and he does so unquestioningly, his mother was in for more than just the Killing Curse.
He contemplates all the other names on the list.
Lily Evans: married to James Potter, mother of Harry Potter, his youngest brother's best friend, and fortunately for her dead. She had been supposed to be Snape's loot, or repayment for good services as it read on the list.
Alice Longbottom had been meant to be given to Rodolphus Lestrange but she is in no state to be pleasurable to any man. George hates himself for this thought. He justifies it by saying those are the Death-Eaters' thoughts too. Alice is probably save from any attacks of the Death-Eaters. Nope, she's only safe from being enslaved. Bellatrix Lestrange, the bitch, would love to finish what she started and kill her.
Rolanda Hooch. Well, he doesn't really know what her assets are, other than flying like a bird. But hey, Séléne had mentioned that her grandma had been a fairy once. Yes, that is it. Auraya Holly Hooch will give the Dark Lord a means to rob the fairies of their secrets and gold. And her name is on the list too. Rolanda is meant as bait for to persuade her mother to give up her secrets for her daughter's life.
George nearly throws up in the nearby bush. How sick are these lunatics? How far will they go to achieve their aims? He doesn't want to find out. He just wants to see his mother through it alive and unscared.
Aurora Sinistra comes from a Death-Eater family. Her parents were very displeased when their youngest daughter married another woman. A woman, for heaven's sake! Such scandal! How could she?!? George laughed quietly. Aurora should have been Gryffindor instead of Syltherin. She had single-handedly turned the Wizarding World upside-down by marrying Rolanda. They were the first lesbian couple to marry officially. Poppy Pomfrey and Minerva McGonagall had created a spell so that homosexual couples can have children. Minerva had been responsible for the transfiguration of the body, Poppy for the bodily functions and anatomical accuracy.
Poppy Pomfrey is also on the list. Sure, every army needs a good healer. George really doesn't know much about her life. She's a very elusive character.
But the worst thing for him is that his mother's name is on that list. And McGonagall. What can You-Know-Who want with her? Ok, she is a teacher and must be powerful. And she is Dumbledore's friend and Deputy. But other than that?
And his mother will be toast because Malfoy senior is a spoil-sport and can't get over her.
It is no help. He has to tell his mother. She can't go anywhere alone anymore. It will be safest for her to move into Headquarters. Mastering his courage, he walks up to the house and enters through the kitchen door.
"Hi, Mum and Dad, I'm here."
His mother comes bustling in from the living room and smiles warmly at him.
"Hello George, darling. Are you hungry? Shall I make something for you?"
"No, but is Dad here?"
"I'm here, George. Perkins gave me your message that you have something important to tell us. Sit down and shot."
George is very nervous. His parents had always protected him and his siblings. Now is the time to do something for them. He just hopes they believe him.
"Ok, Dad. That is hard for me but you have to know this. Mum is in danger. Lucius Malfoy and all the other Death-Eaters are up and about to abduct women. Their names are on a list which was found in the old house of You-Know-Who's father. The Dark Lord will then give them to his most faithful servants."
Both his parents are shocked beyond words.
"Mum, Lucius Malfoy is after you."
Molly Weasley seems close to fainting. Her eyes have gone round and there is real fear in them. Arthur chances a worried glance at his wife and is shocked to see her bare of her usual self-assured behaviour. With one fluid movement he is by her side and wraps his arms around Molly.
A./N.: Sorry for the slight Artemis Fowl cross-over. The fairy thing will be explained soon. Tell me what you want in this story or what you think is coming and I'll see if I can fit it in. I appreciate your reviews!
