Chapter 11 - Confusion

Her eyes were fading in and out as she opened them, there was a slightly orange figure leaning over her with a stark white mouth. After a few purposeful blinks she saw George, with his teeth showing smile. "Nissa! You're awake, how are you feeling?" He rambled out, she smiled to herself

Groggily she answered, "I'm fine thanks George, as good as knew! I talked to Harry and it's all ok, we have read a letter from mum and everything is ok. I am so happy, I have a family!" She was no longer groggy and now chirpier,

"Well done Nissa, I told you it would be ok! Fred wants to apologise to you, are you coming down to breakfast? Dear old Poppy said you can go," He beamed at her; the last couple of days had been torture for him. Finding out his girlfriend was kidnapped, rescuing her, seeing her nearly out of her mind in pain (literally) and then wishing and hoping she would be ok. But she was ok, so he would be ok.

"Ok, I am sort of hungry. Are the rest of them mad at me?" She asked quietly, she really hoped they weren't. Over the last couple of terms she had friends and happiness. Even with being chased by death eaters she was unbelievably happy.

"No, they are just confused. It's hard to accept everyone, if they trust too many people it can lead to danger. They know most things about each other or can guess. To not know everything about you confused them," He answered,

"Ok, let's go then George." Nervous but wanting to get it over and done with she hopped off the bed transfigured her gown into robes (with short sleeves) and took George's waiting hand.

As soon as she entered the hall, Neville, Ginny, Harry, Hermione jumped on her and a slightly sheepish Fred held back.

"NISSA! Are you ok? I am so sorry about everything, we have been worried out of our minds!" They rambled, she smiled and let go of the four of them.

"Yes, I'm ok, it's alright I probably would have reacted the same." Their faces relaxed and Harry simply beamed at her. Then walked next to her,

"Welcome back, sister! You're going to miss all the good lunch, do you mind if I eat," She smiled to herself, being called sister was a foreign yet amazing feeling.

"Of course, o' brother of mine. Cater to your stomach," She replied in her best Shakespearean accent. He chuckled and walked back to his seat, and the rest accept Fred followed. She was slightly apprehensive and so was he. However, George was sat down looking up at them eagerly.

"Um….. Nissa, I am so sorry for what I said. I was just scared and confused and stupid. Can you forgive me?" He was mumbling slightly, but by the time he was finished she was laughing.

"Of course you are forgiven. I know you didn't mean it!" She said, smiling happily "I am just glad you aren't mad at me anymore!"

"I was never mad at you! Just confused, you never did anything wrong." He replied, looking slightly apprehensive

"Well that's a relief, don't worry Fred I'm not mad at you." All apprehension left his face and he engulfed her in a huge hug, squeezing the life out of her.

"Brother of not, I will hex you Fred! Let go you're squeezing the air out of her!" he said slightly playfully, but still as a bit of a warning. With this Fred let go and walked back to his seat smirking at his brother. "Well, I'm guessing you made up!"

"Of course, and don't pretend you weren't listening." She said with a smirk to rival Fred's

"You know me too well, it's scary." He held out his arms "Now come here," She happily obliged and rested her head on his chest, his head in the crook of her neck. She looked up at him, with her head still on his chest and smiled. He lowered his head and kissed her passionately, just as the kiss started deepening; Harry tapped them on the shoulder.

"George! Let go of my sister, and come with me I need to talk to you," His face was deadly serious, George was about to make a joke but saw his face and let go of Nissa with a quick peck on the lips.

"Right you are, I'm coming mate." He looked back at Nissa who looked slightly apprehensive; apparently Harry was talking his brotherly duties seriously, too seriously.

Harry and George got to the giant entrance hall and stopped, "Now George, I know you have been going out for a while. However she is my sister, if you hurt her in any way I will hurt you five times as bad. I expect Sirius would help me." Harry said, George gulped and realised Harry really was trying to protect her, this could be dangerous for him.

"Look, Harry I love Nissa. I would never do anything to hurt her." Harry nodded at him, "Oh and speaking of Sirius," George continued, "Does he know yet?" Sirius needed to know his daughter was back.

"Good, I have owled him and he is coming to speak to Nissa tonight, he knew since she came to the Burrow after the first torture. He figured out why she was tortured and thought she wouldn't want to know him. So, he avoided her until she left." Harry answered,

"Oh ok, shall I tell Nissa he's coming?" George said,

"Yeah, we don't want her to freak out." Harry started to leave, "and remember if you hurt my sister, I hurt you," George nodded quickly and started back to the great hall.

When they got back, everyone had left. Apparently they took longer than they thought, so they headed to the common room.

"George, are you ok? You took an age!" A slightly flustered Nissa said

"Yeah I'm ok. By the way, your brother can be pretty scary," Nissa laughed at him "Oh and Nissa, I really need to tell you something," He took her by the hand and led her to a secluded corner of the common room. "You know, Sirius isn't bad right?" When she nodded slowly, he continued "He wants to come and see you tonight, and apologise. " She looked flabbergasted,

"Really? I get to see my dad? Thank you so much George!" She jumped around his waist, and he held her up and hugged her laughing,

"It's ok Nissa but you may want to let go, Harry will go mad if he sees you like….." A dark haired boy cleared his throat, "this…" George let her go and warily smiled.

"George! Please…" Before he could finish however Nissa had interrupted,

"Harry, don't even finish that sentence. I can do what I like with my boyfriend, I know your just trying to protect me but come on! I'm nearly 16! Which is older than you by the way" Harry mumbled something and walked off

"Well said Nissa, and really? You're nearly 16!" She nodded and laughed and they sat down with the others.

So what do you think? Sorry it isn't very good but I have writers block. Also, Sirius and Nissa meet for the first time in nearly 16 years in the next chapter. Any ideas for it please leave them in a review! Thanks my lovely readers!
