A/N Hello all back, This is another short chapter, but once again I felt it was need so as not to drag the story along. This chapter is moving things right along. As with much of life things have a way of getting worse before the get better. Please let me know what you think. As always thanks for reading. Hugs and Kisses.

Chapter Three

Keep calm and carry on

There's solace a bit for submitting

To the fitfully cryptically true

What's happened has happened

What's coming is already on its way

With a role for me to play

Red Red Red -Fiona Apple

"What do you mean George is missing?" I ask.

"He was there for bed check last night, but this morning he was gone."

"Did he leave a note or a clue or anything?" I ask.

"No, but we are still searching his room."

"He doesn't even have a wand!" I yell. "How is he going to defend himself?"

I feel rather than see Charlie putting his hands on my shoulders and gently pushing me back down in my seat. I'm sitting with the rest of the Weasley family in one of the administrative offices in St. Mungo's, there are so many of us that were packed like sardines in a tin. Molly, Arthur, and I are right up against the desk, there is no room for my long legs and my keens are touching the desk.

"I know Miss Johnson, please be assured that we are doing everything we can to find him."

"Tomorrow is the anniversary of his twin brother's Fred's death, you don't think he's off to do anything rash do you?" Molly asks.

"I can't say, but the fact that George broke out of here so close to the anniversary of his twin's death doesn't bode well, I'm sorry I have to be realistic."

"I'll bet he went out to score." Bill says darkly.

"This is all of my fault." I say.

"No you can't blame yourself." Ginny says looking at me apologetically. "It's not your fault."

"You don't understand, George proposed to me and I said no." I say.

"What!" Ron shouts.

"When did the two of you get back together?" Ginny asks.

"Here in the hospital, we've been seeing each other." I feel my face burn. Oh how I wish a hole would open up so I could jump in it.

"George proposed?" Arthur says sounding shocked.

"Yes at the hospital in the gardens, I wanted to say yes, but then I had a talk with Alicia Spinnet."

"What did she have to say?" Molly ask. She doesn't sound too happy.

"Nothing bad, she just thought that George should focus on rehab more and me less, "

"Well she really qualified isn't she." Ron says.

"Actually her mum is a psychiatrist." I say.

"A what?" Ron asks.

"Like a Therapy Healer." Hermione says.

"I thought it made sense, so I told George we shouldn't be together, you know at the hospital, until he was out of rehab."

"I take it George didn't take the news so well." Charlie says.

I hold up my hand. "He yanked my engagement ring right off my finger."

"HE DID WHAT!" Thunders Molly.

"Please, if everyone could just focus." The Wizard behind the desk says. "Is there any place you think your son is likely to go?"

"Well if he's looking to score like I think he is, that would mean Knockturn Alley." Bill says.

"Or he could be somewhere that was really special to him and Fred." I say.

"Maybe he went back to the Burrow." Ginny said. "He might have know we'd all come here."

"I very much doubt it, but I'll go and check." Says Charlie.

"The coins!" I shout suddenly.

Arthur jumps.

"Oh right," Hermione says cottoning on."

"I'll send out a message for everyone to be on the look out for George." I say.

"We've also sent out a search team as soon as we were aware of George missing." The Administrative Wizard says.

"He's not at the house." Charlie says coming back "I checked everywhere and did Homenum Revelio."

"Eet wos still worth a try." Fleur says.

I give Ginny a reassuring hug. "We'll find him."

"Any word on George?" Harry Potter asks appearing in the door way.

"Harry." Ginny says and runs to him. He kisses her and hugs her close.

"No word yet." I say in a shaky breath. "I'm worried what he might do, he doesn't have a wand or any money."

"I've put the word out, amongst good friends only, that George is on the lamb, with it being the day before the New Death Eaters plan to attack I don't them knowing he's a sitting duck."

"Oh god." I say.

"George is smart and adaptable he'll be ok." Charlie says reassuringly.

"I'm going to go look for him." I say.

"You're still in hospital, you can't go out looking for George." Bill says.

"Try and stop me." I say.

"Angelina." Molly beings.

"No, I'm going to look for George and none of you can stop me." I say pulling out my wand. "None of you."

"Let her go." Ginny says there are tears in her eyes. "Just let her go." She gives me a quivery smile. She knows how it feels to have someone you love go off and do something dangerous and not being able to do anything about it.

I mouth thank you and walk out of the room. I rush up to my room to get all of my things together. What I don't have I summon. I just know if we don't find George soon it'll be too late. I also know that I have to be the one to find him. I won't let him destroy himself. I spin around to leave and see Oliver in the door way.

"I got the coin about George, what's going on?"

"He bunked out sometime after bed check last night or early this morning" I say.

"Tomorrow Fred will have been dead for a year." Oliver says. "Do you think it's coincidental?"

"I don't know, I feel partly to blame." I tell him about my very brief engagement.

"Maybe it's a sign." Oliver says.

"How can you even say that, especially now."

"I'm sorry Lina if I don't like you with George, but I don't, this has nothing to do with the two of us, I know we're finished, I know you'll never love me, but he's wrong for you."

"Why are you saying all of this now?"

"You told me you want to marry him, when I see one of my best friends about to make the biggest mistake of their lives I have to warn them."

"Well don't do me any favours Wood." I say coldly.

"Look I'm sorry, I came to help you look for George, not row have a row with you." He says softly.

"Thanks but I'm going on my own, if I find George I think I'll have a better chance of getting him to come home that way." I say.

"I none it's pointless to try and stop you, so good luck." He says.

I go into his arms and hug him. He squeezes me tight and kisses me softly behind Suddenly I step back. I feel like a horse has kicked me in the stomach.

"What!" Oliver asks alarmed by the look on my face.

When he was holding me close like it trigger something, that and the smell of his cologne the soft way he was talking. There's also the fact that tomorrow will be the one year of the Battle of Hogwarts. My memory is coming back now, still not one hundred percent but much more clear since this whole damn thing began.

I had been trapped by a body. They body of a Death Eater he was straddling me pressing my hips into the cold wet grass. I was trying to fight him off but was too weak to fight him back. His hands were all over me, under my clothes, on my skin , inside of me. His hands felt like scurrying mad rats. He was screaming Crucio and the pain, I couldn't get away from the pain. I could feel his lips on mines, feel his lips all over my body, the hot breath and saliva he trailed over my skin, his saliva seem to congeal on my body like slime from a slug. He was saying things in my ear violent and disgusting things. He was pulling down my jeans and pulling off my shirt. I blacked out, but when I came too I was naked. His hands, around my throat, squeezing. I couldn't fight back, I just had to let him.

Then there was a voice. "Get the bloody hell off of her." Oliver's voice.

I start to wretch and I'm sick all over the floor. "Oh my God."

"Angelina." Oliver says he sounds frightened.

Talk about having a gut reaction.

"You knew all this time, why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't know how, you didn't remember it."

"I need a shower." I say.

"Angelina clam down." He says grabbing my shoulders

"Don't touch me!" I scream at him.

"I'm sorry."

"Did he rape me?"

"No! I stopped him"

"You took my virginity." I say. "After knowing what he did to me."

"I was drunk I wasn't thinking with the right head." He says. "After our first time I knew I couldn't walk away from you."

"I don't have time for this." I say swinging my rucksack over my shoulder.

"I'll go tell the others you leaving." Oliver says, his voice is that of great restraint. I know he doesn't want me going, he'd rather we stay and perhaps talk things out, but I can't, I'm not ready to deal with another blow right now. I have only one objective and that's find George. The sobbing, self-loathing, and hair pulling can come later.

I point my wand and clean up the sick on the floor. Then I brush my teeth do one last sweep of the room to make sure I have everything. My rucksack bounces around noisily as I walk down the hall. I'm glad Hermione showed me how to d a undetectable extension charm. I don't know how long it will take me to find George. No one stops me because I'm free to leave the hospital, I'm just meant to come back, and I will when I find George.

I apparate to his shop first, I know George would have wanted to see the damage done to his shop. The shop is a mess. All the windows have been broken in and someone wrote "The Dark Lord shall rise once more." on the walls in black paint. Rubbish bins have been emptied all over the place. Product smashed and destroyed. The whole back wall is burnt. The till is gone, they couldn't get the safe, but destroyed George's office none the less. I go upstairs to the flat. It remains untouched they must have been just concerned with destroying the shop.

I go into Fred's room but George isn't there. It looks stripped bare and lonely without Fred's things in it. The naked walls and bare floors are so cold and dead looking that I have to shut the door. It's just a room now, not Fred's room anymore. I go to George's room and I know he stopped by here. Fred's wand is gone. It used to be in a glass case on his desk, but now the glass is broken, and the wand is gone. He's taken other things to.

Next I apparate to Fred's headstone. George has been here too there are daises on Fred's grave, April's flower, their birth flower. "Fred if you're out there somewhere look after your little bother please." I say to the headstone. "Please forgive us and please be happy for us." I let out a deep sigh. "We have to go on with our lives without you, I miss you, everyday I miss you, but I know that you're some place good, waiting for George to join you one day, I'll take good care of him until then, and the day all three of us are together again you two can fight it out." I kiss the headstone. "Goodbye Fred."

I stand up and straighten my rucksack and grip my wand tighter. There's no turning back now, George needs me. As much as I hate to admit it Bill is probably right about George looking to score. I never wanted to go back, but when is life ever fair? Next stop Knockturn Alley.
