Fred pov (just thrown in the closet)
Holy shit- who do they think they are? Going round throwing people in closets, locking me in with Zina too! I thought Bill was her friend- Why would he throw her in a closet? She doesn't deserve to be thrown places! Look at her, she's so pretty and her eyes are all wide and worried because she's stuck in here, I can't believe she's still single, I mean, not that I'd date her, but someone would I'm sure. She just needs to be treated with care; she should just be wrapped up in cotton wool and blankets and she should have a few body guards in case someone tries to hurt her, and she shouldn't be allowed to fight an- Oh fuck monkies. Do I love her?
Zina pov
Locked in a closet. Cassandra is going to freak out. So am I. Locked in a closet with Fred weasley. Fred fucking Weasley, who currently looks like he's having some kind of epiphany, "Earth to Fred" I yell, snapping my fingers in front of his face, he jumps back a little "Huh?" I sigh "Okay Fred here's the deal, my friend Cassandra is currently probably making up or making out with your brother, we have got to agree to be civil, okay? We don't have to be friends, just civil" he looks sad for a moment, "Why can't we be friends, Zina?" he whispers, his eyebrows creasing. I just smile "I forget." I mumble, pulling out my wand and aiming it towards the door "Expulso." I mumble, blowing the lock from the door, and watching as it swings open "Molly!" I yell "Heads are gonna roll!"
I walk out and Bill steps in front of me "C'mon Zinaa" he whines "You know we had to do it! you guys are out first, but we kinda guessed you would be, so now we're waiting for Cassandra and George, and more yelling, because she was yelling earlier and like hell is she done." Bill doesn't have a great view of Cassandra. Hates her, in fact, but that's mainly based on his belief that a death eaters child can only themselves become a death eater, and the fact that when we first met, I wasn't exactly waving the Cassandra flag super high.
George pov five minutes later
Cassandra sniffed and stepped back from me, wiping her eyes with a tissue from her pocket, she smiled up at me "Thanks" she mumbles, taking another step back and picking my wand up from the floor, she holds it out to me "Sorry I kinda freaked out on you there.. Flashbacks and stuff.. They're pretty crazy sometimes" she grins ruefully, adjusting a hair bobble before sighing loudly and looking around her "Cassandra" I start, unsure "For what I said... I'm really sorry-" she laughs, cutting me off "For what? For telling me I'm going to end up a death eater? Or for telling me the next time we see each other, you'll be attempting to kill me? Either way it really doesn't matter, because I have done what everyone said I couldn't do." Her voice goes hard "I've become someone good, and I'm helping rid the world of the people everyone said I would end up as! I'm a good person now, George. I don't deserve what you put me through, and frankly I do deserve better than you."
My heart stops. "Cassandra. If I literally have to get on my knees and beg you to give me a second chance don't think I won't do that." She grins "I'm not kidding" I mock, leaning in and flicking a piece of hair out of her eyes "I know you're not, George." She steps back again and contemplates for a moment "Yeah" she sighs "Okay, yeah. I'll go out with you again, ok? Last chance though" I wrap my arms around her waist loosely and lean in to kiss her, she twirls her head to the side at the last second, and I catch her cheek instead of her lips "I'll wait" I whisper, and take her hand, we apparate from the closet, and end up in the living room again, and we flop down onto the sofa in the corner, opposite Bill and Zina, she waves and grins, looks to Cassandra and mouths 'Talk later' to her, Bill glares at Cassandra.
I'm about to say something, when Cassandra stands up "Got a problem, Bill?" she asks, placing a hand on her waist "Because out with it if you do! You've been glaring at me since I arrived, and like fuck am I gonna put up with it!" As Bills brother, I know exactly what this is, we all do, and there's gonna be fire works. I look at Fred, sat at Zina's feet, he catches my eye and gradually everyone files out of the living room.
Cassandra pov
"a death eaters child can only themselves become a death eater" he says, standing up, his hand on his wand "say WHAT?" I yell, stepping forward "You have no idea how hard I have worked to get here, Bill! No idea what I've been through for this!" he smirks "The Cruciatus curse and mean parents, boohoo" he says, my blood turns to ice. Zina told him. "Yes, well done, you can get information from your friend, big deal. You still know very little, Bill. Wanna know who my father is? I can speak parcel tongue and I'm in slytherine, my father was a death eater, the most powerful death eater there is, and everyone is too terrified to say his name Take a wild guess." I have the satisfaction of watching his eyes widen "I am a good person, Bill Weasley" I whisper "I love your brother, so much. I will not let you bring me down, because just like you, I am one of the good people, and if we cannot be civil, the bad guys win"
he nods, and I walk out the room, sweeping past everyone in the hallway "If you use a glass you can hear through walls easier" I say as I walk, heading straight into their garden. I pull my wand out and hurl sparks at the sky. I hear a set of footsteps behind me and whirl around, hurling another spark before seeing George duck, grinning. "Call me crazy" he says, walking over to me and placing his hands on my waist "But I kinda missed your temper" He kisses the tip of my nose and hugs me to him, resting his chin on my head, this is nothing new, we used to do this as kids "I missed you, so much. I won't let you go again, you're stuck with me now"
