George woke Swan pleasantly the next morning with his extremely loud snoring. They decided to sleep downstairs last night as they didn't want to find anything from the night before containing Cassie or Fred. Swan pushed George as an attempt to shut him up but consequently fell on to him.
"Do you hate me or something?" George mumbled, hiding his eyes from the sunlight coming through the windows. Swan looked at him.
"Would I be lying on top of you if I hated you?" She rolled on to the other side of George staring at him.
"Yesterday, you could clearly see I went to kiss you." He complained. She kissed him lightly on his cheek and George blushed.
"Better?" George nodded.
They both looked up when they heard clattering coming from the kitchen.
"Want to play a trick?" George asked, standing up and stumbling slightly. Swan nodded and smiled as she got up.
"Right, we need a tooth brush." George said. Swan looked around and patted her body.
"Yeah, because I keep a tooth brush with me at all time, let me just check my tooth brush pocket it's next to the where I keep the Tyrannosaurus Rex." Swan said sarcastically. George sighed looking at a tooth brush that was lying on the floor next to her feet.
"Oh, sorry." She said biting her lip with an innocent look.
"Gods I love it when you do that." George said. Swan started to blush.
"Anyway," She grabbed the toothbrush and they ran towards the kitchen. Swan and George looked around the door frame and saw that Harry and Ginny kissing.
"what are you going to do?" Swan whispered.
"Just watch" George said as he strolled casually into the kitchen. He leaned against the counter and stuck the toothbrush in the hole where his ear used to be. Swan tried not to laugh.
"Morning" He said winking Ginny and Harry, broke apart as Swan came in laughing.
Just then Cassie and Fred stumbled down the stairs. It was odd to see Cassie up this early in the morning.
"Cassie, you're walking a little funny are you all right?" Swan asked
"That'll be my doing" Fred said winking at Swan. She sighed and walked towards George who was laughing. She stomped on his foot to stop him, and was quite satisfied when she heard a small gasp of pain.
"What did you kick her or something" Harry asked Fred. Fred smiled, He was so innocent. That or he was a little stupid.
"Yeah that's exactly what I did" Fred replied still chuckling. Ginny smiled getting what they were talking about.
"Are you all right Cassie." Ginny asked
"Better then all right" Cassie replied casually yet she couldn't miss the smile that was threatening to take over her face.
"Cassie, let's start getting ready. We can eat later." Ginny said pulling Cassie back up the stairs.
Swan was almost ready getting dressed. Ginny, her and Hermione had gone out and bought a dress in Hogsmead before the holidays had started. She hadn't really got any experience with dresses so she just let Hermione and Ginny choose one for her.. It was short and only came up to her thigh. It was 60's style shimmy dress and was covered in sequins. However was extremely difficult to get into.
Swan heard a knock.
"It's George can I come in?" George shouted as Swan struggled with the dress.
"Yeah," she shouted back. George walked in looking for something, until he saw Swan. " zip me up?" She said. George gulped and walked over to Swan, he pulled it up.
"It's that meal yesterday" She turned around to face George. "I think I put on some extra pounds." George smiled.
"You're perfect just the way you are." He pulled her grasping her into a hug. She gasped.
"George..." Swan said lightly.
"What?" He asked.
"...You're a complete and utter mess." She grabbed his belt and doing it up, George gulped again. "Do you want some water, here." She past him a glass of water, he took a mouthful and she continued to talk.
"Up or down?"
"What?" George asked.
"My hair, up or down." She repeated. George was quick to answer
"Down." He found a flower and took the head off. Untying her hair and gently sliding in the flower.
"Gosh don't you know how to do a bow tie?" She asked.
"To be honest, no." He said. She tied it for him and rested her hands on his chest.
"There done, you at least look respectable now." She finished.
"Yeah, umm I've got to go and, umm help you know." George said.
"Oh yeah me too." They both turned and walked to the door but Cassie was standing there.
"Guys, I think I left my bra in here have you seen it?" She said. Swan looked at her in disgust
"No!" Swan said. She and George exited the room quickly.
The ceremony was beautiful, but it was soon finished and the reception was already in full swing. Music played and drinks were in hand. Cassie was sitting with a couple of friends from school when she saw that Hermione was dancing with Victor Krum. She watched them for a while before she saw that Ron was glaring at them, Cassie knew he had a particular dislike for Krum. Ron saw her looking and walked over to her.
"Would you like to dance?" He asked.
"Only if you don't step on my toes" she smiled, taking his hand. Ron and Cassie had always been good friends. Ron was closer to her than Harry and Hermione were. They didn't really dance, it was more like moving slightly to music. They talked for a while then after a few songs had passed. He said goodbye and went to get a drink. She sat back down at the table.
Fred saw her sitting there gazing off into space and decided to go see her.
"May I have this dance M'lady?" He said, kneeling and offering her his hand in over exaggerated poshness.
"Why, yes you may Mr Weasley," She said playing along. She took his hand and she spun her onto the dance floor. Cassie giggled.
"Mr Weasley, I didn't know you could dance!" Cassie exclaimed.
"Only for you M'lady," He winked.
"Well, well Mr Weasley, it seems you are trying to flatter me," She said in her fake posh voice.
"Well Miss Thorington, I have been informed that flattery will get you everywhere," He whispered in her ear, She grinned.
"You have been well informed Mr Weasley," she said as her spun her off around the dance floor. Swan watched this encounter smiling. Yes she was planning to leave with Harry, but she wouldn't take Cassie with her, even if she begged. Cassie looked to happy to be troubled with Swan's problems..
"Care to dance?" Georgre said interrupting her thoughts.
"Don't mind if I do." She replied they walked off on the dance floor and began to twirl to the slow music. Cassie saw them briefly and smiled before Fred spun her from their view.
Swan sighed. This is what she'd miss, being with George. Being with the Weasleys and her friends. Swan rested her head on George's chest reminiscing about past memories at the burrow or at Hogwarts. Swan began to tear up as she thought she might never have a happy memory like this again.
Swan grabbed George's hand and dragged him away and into the house, George followed confused. When they had reached an empty room Swan turned to face him.
"I'm scared George," Swan whispered barely audible.
"Of what," he said stroking a strand of stray hair from her face and tucking it behind her ear.
"Of leaving, of not coming back. Of everyone hating me." She said
"Wait Swan, slow down, you're not going anywhere right now," He held both her hands "Why would anyone hate you,"
"Because of who I am, George, I need to tell you something. And if you leave, and hate me I'll understand." Swan said.
"I'll never leave you." George said.
Swan took a deep breath.
"I'm Voldemort's Daughter." She announced. George just looked at her in shock.
"That's why you disappeared, isn't it."
"I wanted to kill him! I didn't want to be part of that monster." Swan said.
"you should have told me. I was confused and hurt. You had just kissed on Valentines day and then you left. I didn't see you again, I thought you hated me!"
"I was scared. I am scared," Swan said, a tear silently slipping from her eye. George pulled her into a hug. Swan recovered slightly in the embrace.
"Have you ever dreamt bout your wedding day," she sniffed.
"The only girl I've ever wanted to marry is standing right in front of me." He whispered in her ear. Swan looked into his eyes. She didn't know who started it but they were suddenly kissing. It was slow and soft but it became more desperate as George pushed her against the wall. She was lost in him. Nothing else mattered but him. His hands were on her waist and hers were round his neck and in his hair. His tongue swiped her lips, asking for entrance, which she gladly gave. Their tongues duelled sending shivers up her spine.
Just then the door flew open and they snapped apart. An awkward looking harry stood in the doorway.
"Umm, your mum said to find you, their cutting the cake soon and umm..." he looked at the floor, all three of them were blushing.
"we'll be right out harry," Swan said. Harry left and George looked at her. He was smiling, but she didn't return his grin.
"This can't happen again George. When Harry Ron and Hermione leave, I'm going with them, and I might not come back. I was lucky to come back last time. I couldn't kill Voldemort, so I'm going to help Harry do it instead." She left the room quickly. George was Shocked and confused. Things had been going so well.
He returned to the party just in time to see Kingsley's patronus give the warning. There was a flurry of movement as everyone panicked and disapparated. Death eaters were already arriving and he was flung into battle. Swan raced towards Harry Ron and Hermione and caught hold of them just before the disapparated. The last thing she saw before she disappeared was George's pleading eyes.
