FRED
When we got home, I told mum about all that had happened. She asked the typical question: Have we been having sex? I answered with a truthful no, Athena wanted to at least be out of school first. Mum was excited to hear that I had a girlfriend, but less excited when she heard that Athena's parents had most likely found out.
"Oh the poor child!" She said. "Send her an owl saying we can take her in for a few weeks if nessecary."
"We might not have to, there's an owl there!" Hermione said.
It was from her. It said:
Dear Fred (and any other Weasleys worried about me),
I'm safe. I snuck out last night and went to my friend Sophie's house. I'll be there the rest of the summer if you need to reach me. Turns out, my mum didn't want to disown me, but father insisted (plus my Aunt Bella's a total psychopath, but she's in Azkaban, so I think we're good.)
Fred: It was good to see you again. I missed you loads.
To Mr. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny, thanks for welcoming me in. I'll see you all on September 1st!
Sincerely, Athena
"Oh she's safe! Probably not happy though, look at the paper." I noticed the paper was covered in tear marks. We wrote back and forth until school started, and the night before we headed to Kings Cross, I wished Athena was there with me, so I could hold her in my arms and make sure she knew she was loved.
