Part Two: During the War

Chapter one: It All Starts Now

"Come on Audrey, take the next few days off. It'll be fine," Percy argued with his girlfriend. Audrey sighed.

"I would love to, but I don't know that I want to be stuck in the already almost empty flat with her. She's really starting to scare me Perce," Audrey said sadly.

They finally agreed to use the underground safe house that the elder Mr. And Mrs. Weasley had used during the first war when Mr. Weasley had let slip to Audrey that if they were to go into hiding, they'd go to Aunt Muriel's house. All of Percy's belongings, and most of Amy and Audrey's belongings were already there. They only had the few essential things still left at the flat.

"With the war coming, I think it would be better for you to be with her. You never know what could happen as long as she's there alone," Percy retaliated knowing that would get Audrey to listen

"That's not fair," Audrey said catching onto his plan before he had a chance to go anywhere with it.

"It's the truth and you know it," Percy said.

"Knock, knock," the minister opened the door to the office. "It's almost time for the meeting are you ready?" he asked.

"Almost," Percy replied "I just have these last few pages to sign. Five more minutes?"

"That's about all you've got Mr. Weasley," The minister said and then closed the office door.

"Please Audrey? I'd feel better about things if you'd do that," Percy stood up and flied away the last of the paper work he'd been doing. Audrey crossed her arms and stood up too.

"Fine," she replied.

"I'll be there as soon as the meetings over," Percy walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her. "Smile," he told her. She shook her head.

"Why?" she asked.

"You look beautiful when you smile," he replied.

"And you're saying I don't when I'm not smiling?" she shot back.

"No, not at all. I just don't like to see you unhappy," he touched his forehead to hers and she couldn't help but to grin.

"Fine," she said and then leaned her face up to kiss him.

"I promise I'll be over as soon as I can," he replied when they broke.

"Do I have to take the rest of the week off?" she asked hoping he'd changed his mind.

"Please Audrey?" he begged.

"Okay, alright. You're right. I guess it is better for mum," she said almost sadly.

"It'll be okay," he replied.

"Are you coming?" the minister knocked on the door.

"Yes sir," Percy said. He hugged Audrey tightly before kissing her on the forehead and letting her go. Together they walked out of the office.

"Audrey, what's wrong?" Amy asked as she and Audrey were packing up the last of the things in Amy's dresser and vanishing the boxes as they packed them. Audrey had been flinching at almost every loud noise; she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, and it was going to happen soon.

"I just…" she trailed off, "I have a bad feeling," Audrey replied. Amy nodded her head.
"I understand."

"I'd feel better if Percy would hurry and get here," Audrey sighed. Amy simply smiled.

"You really like him don't you?" Amy asked.

"Yes, I do," Audrey answered as she vanished another box.

"I'm glad that you've found someone who makes you happy. I like him too. He seems to be a good guy."

"Tell him that," Audrey smiled.

"You mean you haven't?" Amy asked.

"I know where I get my sarcasm from," Audrey said, "He doesn't believe me."

"Why is that?" Amy asked.

"He's not happy with some of the things in his past, and he's to stubborn to change them," Audrey replied. Amy nodded her head.

"Well I'm sure you'll make him come around. You're a beautiful and smart young lady. I love you and I'm sure he will if he doesn't already," Amy said hoping to encourage her daughter.

"I hope so," Audrey replied.

They continued to work in silence before Audrey spoke up again.

"Mum," she started, "Have I ever told you that you're the best mum in the world?" she asked.

"I don't think you have actually," Amy smiled "But then again, you've only had me. There could be someone else who's a better mum than I am."

"No," Audrey replied sternly.

"You never know," Amy replied.

"Yes I do. Do you have to make this an argument? I was just trying to complement you," Audrey said sadly.

"I'm sorry dear. I love you."

"Yeah mum, I love you too," Audrey said as she vanished the last box she was working on. She walked around the few boxes that were waiting to be vanished and hugged her mother.

"Audrey, what's gotten into you? Is something wrong?" Amy asked wondering what was with Audrey's odd behavior. "This isn't like you."

"I told you already, I have a bad feeling," Audrey replied sitting down on the closest box, "Where's Percy?" she asked no one in particular. It was then that they heard the pop of someone Apparating into the flat.

"Percy?" Audrey called standing up. Something told her that it wasn't him. She put her hand close to her back pocket so she could grab her wand quickly if necessary.

"Audrey, relax," Amy said noticing her daughter reach for her wand. The door flew open and a flash of green light shot across the room.

"No!" screamed Audrey as she caught Amy before she fell to the floor. She pulled her wand out of her pocket with enough time to yell "Protego" and see the second green light rebound and hit the man who cast it. Percy popped into the room just barley missing the rebounded curse.

"Audrey!" he exclaimed as he took in the scene around him. He knelt down beside her.

"She's gone," Audrey choked and then flung herself into Percy's arms.

"We have to get out of here. There will be more behind this one," Percy said looking at the fallen Death Eater. He flicked his wand at the remaining boxes.

"Was that everything?" he asked. Audrey simply nodded her head because she knew he'd never be able to understand anything she said through her sobbing.

"Come on," Percy said hugging her tightly. Before they could leave another Death Eater appeared and shot the killing curse their direction. It missed Percy's head by an inch and before the Death Eater had time to try again, Audrey grabbed her mother's lifeless body, and Percy Disapparated to the safe house.

They found themselves in a field where there was nothing. No trees, no flowers, only a bit of yellow grass and a bunch of rocks. Audrey flung herself over Amy's body sobbing as Percy stood up and looked around.

"Audrey, would you like to bury her here or somewhere else that's more meaningful?" Percy asked.

"S-s-som-m-ewh-h-here e-e-el-lse," Audrey was able to say. "W-w-with-h D-d-dad."

"Okay," Percy replied as he sat down beside her. "I don't know where that is. You'll have to Side-Along us. Can you do that?" he asked. She nodded her head and reached for his hand. Within seconds they were in the back yard of an abandoned house.

Audrey pointed to the lake that was a hundred feet away. Percy followed her finger in the general area and saw a little gray tombstone that had to be Audrey's father.

Percy picked Amy's body up and carried her down to the lake beside the tombstone. All it said was:

Aaron. 1954-1995.

Percy flicked his wand at the ground on the other side of Aaron's grave and watched as a hole began to dig itself. He looked up to see Audrey hadn't moved. She was still sitting on the ground with her head in her hands sobbing.

When the grave was done digging its self he pointed his wand at a dying tree closer to the water's edge and from it made a coffin to place Amy in before he buried her. He gently placed her in it and placed it in the hole in the ground before setting the dirt to cover itself.

He picked a smooth stone from the water and engraved it to say:

Amy 1955-1997.

Then he went back up and over to Audrey.

"It's going to be okay Audrey," he said as he sat down and wrapped his arms around her. He wasn't sure how long they sat there, but he knew they'd been there long enough when blue lights began to flash from the front yard and muggles' came running around the side of the house. He assumed they were the muggle police and he pulled Audrey tight and Disapparated before they could see them.
