Chapter Four

Percy Weasley was shocked, to say at the least. The sight before his brown eyes was something that he would not expect to be happening from his brother. The only Weasley Twin left.

He had gotten directions to where he was, and Percy was afraid that he had attempted again. Relief filled him when he noticed that his brother was not the one on the hospital bed, but some girl that Percy recognized from Hogwarts.

"Only a freaking blue Ford Angelina would attack me in the forest behind me house, huh?"

"I think that was my dad's car... My little brother and his friend got trapped from Platform Nine and Three Quarters, so they decided to take the car. My dad made it a flying one."

Percy was shocked to see that George's tone was like: "You are not angry with me, are you?"

"If your wondering wether I am angry or not, I will tell you right now that I am not."

"Oh... Hey, when you get out of this joint do you wanna go out for pizza? Maybe?" George nervously asked her.

Sky smiled. "Like... A date? Sure. I'd love too!"

"Yeah, like a date, if you want."

"I think we'd both like that, George."

Percy stood there, shock plastered upon his face.

"Well, I gotta get going, Sky. My family is having a dinner."

"It's all right. See you later, George."

George smiled brightly as he exited and caught sight of Percy, who was back in the waiting room, pretending that he didn't hear a single thing.

Together, the two of them apparated to right outside of the Burrow.

As they both walked in, the first person that they both saw was their dad.

"Hey, dad." George said, the huge smile still on his face.

Arthur Weasley was a bit suprised at his facial expression; he hadn't seen his son smile in months. He wondered what made him smile so much.

Everybody else was already seated at the table. Infact, McGonagall even let Hemrione, Harry, Ron, and Ginny come for the occasion. Apparently she had said that George would be there, and they have not seen their brother in quite sometime. The last time that they had seen him was when he was on Death's Door.

So, George sat next to Ron, while Percy sat next to Charlie. Charlie had come back from Romania for a little while.

"What are you so happy about?" Asked Bill, who sat next to Fleur.

"None of your business, William." He gave a jokey smile.

"It's a girl, Bill. I saw George sitting with a girl who was in a hospital bed to come when I came to pick him up."

"Why you little shit! Haven't you ever been told tht eavsdropping in a hospital is not polite?" George scowled at Percy.

"Who was the girl?" Teased Ron.

"Her name," George began with a huge hue of pink etched all over his face. "Is Skylar Jackson, but she goes by Sky. She's my age, and I met her in Support Group. She got hit with a car-a flying car, may I add- and landed up there. She found it funny, dad. Not all Slytherins hate us Weasley's."

"Oh! Sky- she was in Slytherin, right?" Hermione asked George.

George nodded, "Yeah, why?"

"Because... She was actually nice to me. I talked to her in the library a few times, and the last time I talked to he was before she started cutting. She's a cutter, and she is an anorexic."

"I'll have you know, Hermione, that Sky has not cut since she was seventeen, and she was anorexic at one point, but now she is healthy. And I won't be here tommorrow for lucnch."

"Why not, Georgie?" Asked Molly.

George smugly smiled. "Well, I'm going out on a date, what else? Found the courage to ask her today..."

"Who is this her you speak of?" Charlie said, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Sky, if you must know. Now, I really like her, and if everything goes well, after a few dates I'll ask her to be my girlfriend, and then a week later or so she'll meet you guys. So I would appreciate it if you did not mess this up for me."

"She started in her fourth year," Hermione said, looking at nothing, a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Started what, Mione?" asked Ron.

"Sky started cutting in her fourth year, our second. She told me that her parents disowned her the previous week, and she... She was disowned for talking to a muggleborn, and being in Slytherin."

"Well, I am not suprised, at the least. The Jackson family," Arthur began, making them wanting to know more of the Jackson family. "Is one of those pureblood mania families. All of them were in Ravenclaw, related to Rowena Ravenclaw herself. And then-"

"One got themselves sorted into the House of Slytherin." said Harry, guessing.

"Exactly. The Jackson family... I remember John Jackson, he was in my year at Hogwarts... Always thought I was a blood traitor, and he thought that muggleborn a and squibs were scum. He also had this hatred for Slytherin."

And that was when Kingsley Shacklebolt's patronus raced into the kitchen.
