Chapter 12: Trouble over the Horizon

The next morning when Mrs. Weasley got up to cook breakfast she found a note placed on the table, with nice pretty loopy handwriting on it, it read.

"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Weasley
I'm sorry but it seems I will have to miss breakfast with you all.
I didn't get everything accomplished last night that I wanted to.
I left early in the morning with Uncle Severus, and will be back
in time for lunch.
With Love, Amelia."

Mrs. Weasley sighed before she began preparing breakfast. Harry, normally the last out of bed, along with Ron, was the first to come downstairs. He looked around the living room and peaked his head into the kitchen.

"Mrs. Weasley have you seen May?" He asked, Mrs. Weasley smiled at him before pointing a finger at the note on the table. Harry read it and frowned, his eyebrows knitted together in confusion. He sighed before going back upstairs to wake the others as Mrs. Weasley asked. Soon the breakfast table was full of people and food.

"It seems she's always running off somewhere. Isn't she?" Ginny said as she took a bite of her breakfast, Hermione, Ron and Harry all nodded their heads.

"Where do you think she goes? What does she have to do all the time?" Ron asked, the group shrugged their shoulders with a grin. Out of the corner of his eye Harry thought he saw Fred glaring at him before he laughed at his own ridiculousness and turned back to his breakfast.

At lunch, May returned with Snape like she promised, as she walked in and smiled at everyone that was eating lunch.

"I'm just going to set this stuff up in my room. Mrs. Weasley would it be alright if Uncle Severus stayed for lunch, I'm afraid I just about ran him ragged today." May said smiling, she giggled when Snape glared at her. Everybody at the table had stopped eating when May asked if he could stay. They all turned their heads to look at Mrs. Weasley who nodded her head happily, Snape sighed and nodded his head and sat down in a chair that was next to Molly.

'I just can't say no to that girl.' Snape thought to himself. Arthur Weasley smiled over at him.

"You look like you could use a drink Severus." Snape sighed nodding his head. He nodded his thanks when Molly handed him a small glass of fire whiskey. May smiled and sat in between Harry and Snape. Katie was over for the day and after lunch she had convinced Fleur to try to teach her to speak French. Try being the operative word. After lunch was over Snape left. He departed leaving only after giving May a kiss on top of her head and thanking both Mr. and Mrs. Weasley for lunch.

At the kitchen table Fleur breathed in deeply before letting it out, she was trying not to lose her cool but Katie was making it rather hard for her. She repeated the words again even slower only for Katie to say them completely wrong.

"Il n'y a pas d'enseignement de cette fille!" Fleur sighed loudly. From her place sitting on the couch May giggled loudly. Katie whipped her head around and glared at her.

"Like you could do any better." Katie said rudely, Hermione and Ginny turned to look at May, who smiled condescendingly at the girl.

"Oui je peux, je vais vous faire savoir que je peux parler couramment le français." May smirked at Katie when Ginny and Hermione giggled behind their hands. The boys looked at May with slight awe.

"You speak French?" Ron asked slightly breathlessly, May giggled lightly and nodded. Katie rolled her eyes and sat back in the chair with her arms crossed in anger.

"Vous parlez le français à merveille. Avez-vous passé une fois en France?" May nodded her head and smiled before answering Fleur.

"J'ai passé quelque temps là-bas quand j'étais plus jeune. Ma mère pense que chaque jeune fille doit apprendre à parler français." Fleur nodded her head in agreement.

"Okay that's enough French. I think Ron is going to faint." Ginny said laughing at her older brother's flushed and dazed face. May nodded before smiling over at Fleur before going back to reading her book.

"I don't want to learn French anymore." May heard Katie said before she stormed out of the house to find Fred. May rolled her eyes and continued reading. Fleur came and sat next to Bill. May smiled at the pair and closed her book.

"So how did the two of you meet?" Bill and Fleur both smiled at the question and looked at each other, May smiled at the obvious love the two shared.

"Well she took a part-time job at Gringotts to help her with her English and then we started dating and I fell in love with her after maybe the first couple of dates and then we got engaged. We got married here at the burrow, it was during the War so shortly after we said our vows the wedding was attacked by Death Eaters and ruined but even with all that it was perfect because I married the woman I love." Bill said, Fleur smiled up at him before giving him a loving kiss.

"It's a shame that your wedding got ruined, a wedding is a special thing." May said, Fleur shrugged her shoulders elegantly before sighing.

"Oui, mais c'est dans le passé. Nous sommes mariés et c'est ce qui importe." May bit her lip at this.

"Bill, Fleur I would love to help give you a sort of re-do on your wedding. Like I said a wedding is a special thing and it isn't fair that yours got ruined. You both are so in love and it would make me so happy to do this for you both. If you'll let me, think of it as a Christmas gift." Bill and Fleur both looked at May shocked before Fleur smiled widely and hugged her.

"Thank you." Fleur whispered in her ear, May smiled and hugged her back. Inside the kitchen Fred leaned against the doorway and smiled to himself before walking back outside. Lucky for him Katie had gotten mad at him for not siding with her on her pointless and nonexistent argument with May and left.

A little later into the day the weather had taken a turn for the worse and it showed signs of raining so May sat on the living room floor reading to Teddy and Victoria while everybody else was spread around the room. Harry laid next to her while she read, listening to her voice. He opened his eyes to look at her when she stopped reading. He saw her sitting straight up and looking out the window above the couch. Harry sat up and stared at her.

"Fleur I need you to take Teddy and Victoria upstairs. Once you get up there, after Hermione comes back down, cast a locking and silencing charm on the room and don't come down until we come up and get you." May said very seriously as she stared outside. Everyone inside the house looked at her, this wasn't at all anything like the sweet and demur girl that had been there a moment a go. After a moment Fleur brought the children up stairs like she asked.

"May what's wrong?" Harry asked. May shook her head, holding up her hand to silence him.

"Something is wrong. I can feel it." May said softly she turned her head to look at Ginny and Hermione. "Ginny I need you to send word to Uncle Severus, tell him to bring anything he can think off. Poison, antidotes, Veritaserum. Anything. Now!" May urged as she turned her attention over to Hermione. Ginny nodded her head and sent her Patronus out to Snape.

"Hermione I need you to quickly go up into our room, in my trunk at the very bottom is a small leather book bring it back down to me and then tell Fleur to lock and silence the room." May said before glaring out the window and then over at Hermione when she stood their slightly shocked. "Now Hermione!" May yelled.

Hermione nodded her head and ran up the stairs, only to come barreling back down a few minutes later with the book in hand. May grabbed the book from her hands and quickly started scanning the pages. She stopped on a page with a large tree drawn on it. May read the page before her lips began to silently move quickly before she took a deep breath through her nose and let it out through her mouth, blowing onto the page. The picture of the tree glowed. The mist traveled around May before filling her nose, her eyes began to glow a bright purple before the mist traveled outside where a large oak tree began to take shape.

"May what the hell is going on." Harry said shaking her slightly. The Weasley family stood in the living room staring at her in shock. May sighed.

"It seems that I've put you all in danger, but I'm going to do my best to put a stop to it before anything happens." May said looking at Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. "I never wanted to put you in any kind of danger. I'm really sorry." May said tearing up slightly before Mrs. Weasley came over and hugged her. May smiled at the comfort before she hardened her resolve.

"That tree will act as a guardian for now at least." As soon as she said that Snape apperated into the Weasley household with a small pouch of potions. He was breathing slightly hard before he stared at his god-daughter. "Is it her?" He asked, May shook her head.

"Who is sending someone after you May? Tell me what is going on damn it!" Harry yelled at her. Snape turned towards him and glared.

"Nixie sent someone after me." That was all she said before she started to flip through the book. Snape finally caught sight of the book in her hand.

"Where did you get that Amelia?" Snape asked her, she looked up from the page and smirked.

"I took it the last time I went home. Daddy doesn't even know its missing, and I hope to keep it that way." May said giving him a meaningful stare, he gave her a brief nod.

"So let me get the straight, that woman that came to your birthday has sent someone after you, and you're totally calm about that?" Ron asked, May gave him a very hard glare, which made he hold his hands up in surrender.

"May what is that book, I've never seen anything like it?" Hermione asked her, Snape sighed.

"Must you always know everything Miss Granger?" Snape snapped at her, before May spoke up.

"It's my father's book of spells. My father forbid any one of his children to use it, it's full of dark magic." May said as she continued to look through the book. She took a deep breath before letting it out, at once the skies darkened and it began to pour down rain. The skies pounded down on the earth letting out loud roars of thunder and strikes of lighting illuminating the dark surroundings.

"Did you just make it rain?" George asked, May spared him a small look from the corner of her eye

"Before my father met my mother his family had practiced dark magic for thousands of centuries, this book has been passed down from generation to generation. His family had strong magic, if they willed something to happen it would, like creating a storm. My father was the last in his family to receive this book, he studied every word on every single page until he met my mother. He gave up everything, he renounced his dark magic. Unfortunately for him he passed on his family lineage to his children, though it's much stronger in my brother Finnick and myself. My mother's inherently good magic didn't prevent us from gaining his magic like he hoped it would. Finnick and I never use it unless it's for extreme circumstances." May said before stopping on a page in the book.

"What was your father's family name May?" George asked. May faltered slightly while looking through the book before continuing. Finally when Fred echoed the questions she sighed.

"Blackwell. My father's family name is Blackwell." She said leaning over the table slightly.

"Look I realize there is a reason that father forbid us from using our dark magic and this book. However if this helps me protect the people I care about then so be it. I'll deal with the consequences of my actions when this is all over." May sighed before letting her head fall forward. She didn't have much time to wallow in her own self-pity before she and everyone else in the living room heard a yell of surprise outside. May stepped up to the door. The rain immediately came to a stop before she looked out into the yard at the body that was being held within the branches of the tree.

"Well he still has legs." May said quietly to Snape who nodded. Mays eyes flashed a bright purple once more before the branches of the tree sprang forward and dropped the wriggling body at her feet. May nodded at Snape who grabbed the man and hauled him to his feet.

"Bind him to a chair, I need him to answer a few questions for me." The man looked up at her with a look full of so much hatred. She smirked down at him as he struggled to remove himself from the chair he was bound to.

"Are you going to answer the questions I have willingly or am I going to have to force you?" She asked smiling at him sweetly. The man looked over her shoulder at the audience in the living room and stared up her defiantly. May sighed dramatically before her eyes flashed bright purple. Snape's head whipped up to look at his god-daughter before looking over her shoulder at the Weasley family.

"Mrs. Weasley you wouldn't happen to have a small jar and maybe some matches I could use do you?" May said turning to look at the family, her eyes had gone back to normal for the time being and the Weasley family as well as May's friends gave a sigh of relief. Mrs. Weasley grabbed a small jar and the matches for May to use at which she smile at her.

"Uncle you have mandrake root correct?" Snape nodded head at her, while the man's eyes widened slightly before he schooled his facial expressions.

"Why do you hold yourself back girl? You reek of it, of your father's dark magic. Let it take over, you know you want to" The man said with a savage grin. May sneered at him.

"They only thing I'm holding back is my lunch from your mere presence." She told him before placing the root inside the jar.

"You don't have the guts, it would destroy you." The man said with a sneer.

"What would?" Snape asked the man pulling his head back by his hair, the man grunted in discomfort.

"So you don't know what that little trinket in her hand can do? It was created by her great-great grandfather. It's a Witch Cruid. That right there can kill any witch that the holder chooses. With that dark magic coursing through her veins right now who's to say that she won't turn on any of you. " The man said. May glared and smacked the man across his face hard.

"I'm not like you, unlike you I'm strong enough to fight off the dark magic." May told him before grabbing his hand and sliding off his ring. "It's a lovely ring, you must wear it often." May said with a cruel smile before she dropped the ring into the jar. The man panicked for a slight moment before he saw her place the jar on the table.

"Don't misunderstand I want some questions before I use that Cruid on you." May whispered to him so only he and Snape could hear.

"Did you come here after me? Or someone else in the house?" May asked the man refused to answer so she nodded her head at Snape who forced the man's jaw open and poured the Veritaserum down his throat. After the man drank all of it Snape stepped away from the pair and stood behind May.

"Now did you come here after me or someone else in this house?" May asked again. The man struggled for a moment before he answered.

"I came for the boy." He said. May's eyes flashed bright purple when the realization came to her that Nixie sent the man to come and take Teddy.

"What were your orders regarding him?" Once again he struggled to keep the answer from being torn from his lips but it was pointless.

"I was ordered to incapacitate and capture him. After that I had orders to torture him until he broke and then she was going to send him back to you." The man sneered out with a sadistic grin on his face.

"I would even be allowed to use poison on him if I wished." He said grinning from ear to ear. The men in the Weasley family stepped forward to the man but was held back by a look from May.

"Would you feed it to him in his food, his water?" when he didn't answer she continued. "Would you inject him with it or would he come in contact with it during torture?" When the man looked up May smirked at him.

"Torture then." She said shortly. "How would he come in contact with it?" she asked

"Through a blade." He ground out. May narrowed her eyes, before she opened Snape's bag and pulled out a knife.

"A Poisoned blade, how creative." She told him sarcastically.

"May put the knife down." Fred said as he moved toward her slowly.

"I'm not going to stab him with it. I have more control over myself than that, no matter how strong the magic is or how much he deserves it." May said pointing the tip of the blade at the man.

"A man like you must keep his weapons on him at all time at least something like that." May said as she stepped closer to the man; Harry came to stand right next to her. Harry placed his hand around May's wrist, she looked up at him questionably. Her now bright purple eyes started up him, though if he stared close enough he could see swirls of grey in them.

"May promise me that you won't let this dark magic take control of you. Promise me." May stared up at Harry before nodding her head, for a moment her eyes had gone completely back to normal when she looked at him. Harry sighed in relief letting go of her wrist, but didn't step away from her. May grabbed the cruid before she cut his forearm with the knife the man yelled out in alarm and pain; May held the jar next to the cut and let his blood seep in. She grabbed the match and lit it before whispering an incantation over it. She pulled the man's jacket open to reveal a blade in a sheath. She smirked and pulled the blade out and placed it on the table next to the cruid.

"You know what will happen now if I light another match and drop it in don't you? You'll die, you'll burn from the inside out." May said putting the jar back down on the table. The man glared up at her before he leapt up from the chair and made a grab at the cruid and his blade. May sighed and out stretched her hand and held it into a fist. The man froze and fell to the ground and yelled in anguish.

"I didn't want to have to do that you know." May said before moving her hand again in a fluid motion making the man stand straight up.

"What are you doing to me?!" He yelled. May sighed again before crushing her hand into a tight fist, the man gasped and moved a hand to grip his chest.

"It doesn't feel good does it? Being at someone else's mercy does it?" May asked before she released her hand, the man slumped on the floor before he growled and jumped up again and tried to attack her. The same thing happened as before.

"Witch, what are you doing to my body?" the man asked after he slumped back down to the floor. May glanced down at him.

"I'm controlling the blood in your body, I could make it do anything I want, but for the time being I'll settle for this." May said darkly.

"She's controlling the blood in his body?" Harry asked shocked. Snape nodded his head with a dark expression on his face.

"This man is lucky that Amelia has such great control over herself or he would be dead by now" Snape informed Harry.

"Look we could do this all day but that would just result in you giving yourself a heart attack the more you force me to take control of your body." May said as she sighed tiredly.

"She's getting tired, she has to end this soon. She can't keep fighting the magic if she uses up her energy keeping him in place." Snape told Arthur and Molly who looked over at May's tired body language. Her shoulders were slumped and her mouth had taken on a tired frown. May staggered and grabbed onto the wall. Snape held onto her and pointed his wand at the man.

"Petrificus Totalus." Snape said and watched as the man's body went completely rigid. "Amelia you can't push yourself anymore. It's wearing you out and you won't be able to fight off the magic." Snape said as he led her to the couch to sit down for a moment.

"May are you alright?" Ginny asked as she came over, she handed her a glass of salt water, to help calm her nerves.

"I'm fine, I've just never used this much energy all at once before." May said after she gulped down her water. She stood up from the couch with the help of Snape and made her way over to the man lying on the floor. She reached out her hand for Snape to hand her the book and the knife. He looked down at her before sighing and handing them over to her. Mrs. Weasley gasped.

"May you aren't going to kill him are you?" she asked her. May shook her head, smiling up at the older woman.

"Of course not Mrs. Weasley." May said as she continued to flip to another page in the book when she found it she gave a sigh of relief. May raised the knife and sliced open the skin of her palm.

"May!" Harry and Fred yelled at the same time making a move to rush toward her, but were stopped by Snape. May pressed her bleeding hand to the bound man's forehead before chanting.

"Cibè àit tu air an aimsir, fhàistineach tusa. If you ever come back and threaten my friends or family I won't hesitate to kill you." Once she finished the spell as well as the conditions she pulled her hand away and held it closely to her. Fred rushed over to her and wrapped her hand with a dish towel that was in the kitchen. She smiled thankfully up at him.

"Uncle Severus I need you to change his memory. When he goes back to Nixie she can't know of the book or anything else here that he saw." Snape gave May a small reassuring smile before moving over to the man and began to erase his memory and implant new ones. May smiled tiredly before she promptly fainted, only to be caught by Fred.

"Relax she fainted from exhaustion, once she rests she should be fine." Snape informed them as he released the man from his body bind only to watch him walk out of the Weasley's home and vanish. When that happened he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I think you need to explain some things Severus." Arthur said, Snape nodded and the two walked off to a more private area with Mrs. Weasley in tow along with Charlie and Bill.

"So she kept us all safe at the risk of herself. You heard her when she talked about the dark magic clouding her judgment." Hermione informed the group. Fred gently cradled May and placed her on the couch, before covering her with a blanket.

"I had no idea she was so powerful. The only time she ever showed any kind of power like that was with the Boggart in Defense." Ginny said. The group nodded.

"None of us did." Harry said. "She never wanted anybody to know what she could do, it was written all over her face." He said as he stared at Fred while he sat next to her on the couch.

"I hope she doesn't think we're afraid of her or something." Hermione said softly. Fred sighed and moved a piece of hair from May's face.

"So what do you say Fred? Do you think any different of her?" Harry asked, Fred turned to look at Harry.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? You're the one that's dating and sharing a bed with her." Fred snapped at him. Harry raised his eyebrows at him.

"May and I aren't dating." Harry informed him.

"I saw you leading her up to your room the other night Harry, no need to hide it." Harry rolled his eyes.

"I was taking her to my room to talk, she was pretty upset since you brought Katie over." Fred glared over at him.

"Look Fred I'm not going to tell you what you should or shouldn't do, but you should know that May really likes you. She'll kill me if she ever knew I repeated this but after the whole Katie thing it took about an hour for her to stop being so upset." Fred looked over at May.

"All I'm saying is try not to break her heart. She may look like she can handle a bunch of stuff but she's really fragile." Hermione smiled at Harry before laughing as he muttered to himself about sounding like a girl.

The group looked over at May sleeping on the couch to see her faced was flushed red and she was shivering. Fred placed his hand on her forehead only to pull it back with a hiss.

"She's burning up." Harry looked over at May to see that she was breathing harshly. Hermione pulled out her wand and cast a cooling charm over her, but seconds later May's body reheated once more.

Ginny came back over and placed a cold moist wash rag over her forehead. The group stared in shock as the wash cloth steamed as it was placed on her forehead. May groaned and opened her eyes turning to look at the group. Hermione held her breath when she saw that her friend's eyes had turned back to the glowing purple, though they were somewhat dim.

"Don't feel so good…so tired." May said softly before she fainted once more. Hermione gasped and ran to go get Snape. The two rushed back over to May's side. Behind the pair was Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Charlie, Bill and Fleur

"Professor what's happening to her?" Ginny asked getting extremely worried.

"It seems that Amelia pushed herself too hard with that man and trying to control her dark magic at the same time. Her body is fighting off the effects of her father's dark magic. Her magic and her fathers are clashing to gain control, and from the looks of her now she's far too weak to fight it off." Snape said as he placed another cooling charm on her body.

"Is there anything that we can do to help her?" Snape shook his head.

"The only ones who could help her would be her father or her brother, and she specifically said she didn't want them to know about her taking the book." He told the group. "The only thing for us to do is to wait for her to fight off the effects on her own." Snape informed them. Mrs. Weasley nodded her head and transfigured the couch into a bed for May and made the coffee table into a couch large enough for everyone to fit.

Over the next few hours the group watched over May while she lay on the transfigured bed in the living room before they decided that they needed to move her to her bed upstairs. Harry and Fred stayed by her side at first before Harry decided to leave Fred to watch over her. Fred sighed as he wet the wash cloth once more and placed it on her forehead.

Early into the next morning Fred woke with a jolt. He slowly tried to sit up only to see that May was still asleep, her face was still flushed and the wash cloth was now dry. He sighed before he wet it once more and placed it on her forehead.

Fred turned towards the door when there was a knock.

"Come in." He said softly as he removed a piece of hair that was stuck to her neck from her sweat. He looked up at the door to see his twin leaning on the frame.

"How is she doing?" George asked. Fred shook his head. "How are you doing Gred?" He asked.

"Not so good Forge." Fred replied with a small smile at their still ongoing joke before frowning. "She still isn't awake." George nodded his head before he placed a hand on his shoulder.

"You heard Snape, she's exhausted. She over worked herself, she just needs some time to regain her strength." Fred looked up at him shaking his head.

"It's not that simple. This magic that she has, she's trying to fight it off and it doesn't seem like she's winning to me." Fred sighed before placing his head in his hands.

"What if she doesn't come back? What if this magic takes over and she isn't the same Amelia Dumbledore she's been since I met her that day in Hogsmead?" George sighed shrugging his shoulders.

"Who knows? All you can do is hope that she comes back to her normal self." Fred nodded his head gently. After a moment's pause he looked over at George.

"You know I kissed her last night." George raised an eyebrow

"She had just come back from being out with Snape and we got in an argument about Katie and Harry, and…. I just kissed her." He said shaking his head. "This wasn't like the other kisses that we had, this was… something else." Fred said as he silently laughed and leaned his head back against the wall.

"So what are you going to do about Katie?" George asked sitting next to him with his arms folded.

"I have no idea, I don't even know what's going to happen with May." George nodded in understanding

"Do you want something to happen with her?" Fred paused a moment before nodding his head.

"I do have feelings for her, but she's engaged. Arranged or not she has a fiancé."

"Maybe you should just talk to her, but I would end whatever you have going on with Katie before you do. Don't want double the mess on your hands." George said laughing as he patted Fred on the back. Fred laughed and smiled at him.

"Thanks Forge." George smiled over at him.

"Anytime Gred. You know you should come down to eat something. She didn't risk the consequences of her magic just to see you faint from malnutrition when she wakes up." Fred laughed in agreement. He stood up and walked into the hallway. He looked back in the room before he gently shut her door and headed downstairs to eat his breakfast.

When Fred had left the room May slowly opened her eyes and bit her lip, she quietly padded over to her trunk and took out a small mirror, she took in her appearance for a moment. She noted that the purple still hadn't gone from her eyes completely, she could still feel the seductive pull of the dark magic running through her veins. She knew opening that wretched book was a horrible idea but she didn't have much of a choice. At least that is what she told herself as she ran a hand through her hair, she silently grabbed a pair of jeans and the her pink Weasley sweater slipped them on before quietly padding across the hall and down the 2 flight of stairs.

When she got to the bottom of the stairs she noticed that it was incredibly silent at the table she walked around the large clock silently, the first to notice her was Teddy and Victoria. Both of the children jumped out of their seats and ran over to her, startling everyone at the table. She saw two seats of eyes lock onto her, one green and another blue, she bit her lip and brought her attention back to the children

"May what happened last night?" Teddy asked. May smiled and bent down in front of them.

"Nothing interesting. Did you sleep well?" she asked, both kids nodded their heads. "Good now hurry and finish eating and maybe I'll read some more." She told them nodding at the table.

"Mr. and Mrs. Weasley may I speak with you?" May asked, they both nodded and stood from the table following her to the garden.

"First I would like to say I'm sorry for putting your family in danger last night, and making you worry about me. I would also like to ask a favor, knowing my uncle he most likely told you who my father's family is, and I would be extremely thankful if you kept that information to yourself. If others knew who I was, who my father is, it wouldn't be very pleasant." May said twirling a piece of her hair around her finger nervously. Both adults agreed.

"Lastly, I wanted to let you know that I think it would be for the best if I left." May said, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley opened their mouths to deny her when the door burst open, startling them.

"You can't leave!" Harry yelled. May turned to look at him with pleading eyes.

"You've only just got here." Ginny said.

"Exactly! I've only just got here and I've already put everyone in danger. I can't stay here, I'm trying to protect all of you." May said as she looked at everyone.

"You don't need to protect us, we are more than capable of protecting ourselves."

"What happens if I lose control? Will you stop me, even if that means hurting me?" she asked looking at Harry and then Fred. Who both hesitated to answer her, May nodded her head gently.

"That's what I thought." May said as she turned away from them hugging her arms. Fred looked at Harry before moving toward her and gently touching her arm.

"Don't touch me!" She yelled jerking away from him. "I don't want to hurt you." She whispered looking into his eyes before turning away from him again. Harry came up to her and gently touched her shoulder.

"You won't lose control, we trust you." Harry told her. May pulled away and ran her hand through her hair in aggravation, the group could see large black clouds forming in the distance.

"You don't understand!" She yelled, in the distance there was a huge crack of lightning.

"What don't we understand?!" Harry yelled at her. May glared at him, her eyes flashing silver for a moment.

"Last night I wanted to kill him, I wanted to burn him from the inside out. My dark magic is still there and it's getting stronger, I can feel it." May told the group, her voice becoming louder every word she spoke. "I'm so afraid I'll hurt all of you!" She said as she ran her hands through her hair once more, slowly moving backwards.

"Just let us help you!" Harry yelled in aggravation, following her.

"Don't come any closer." May told him holding her hand out to stop him.

"I'm not going to let you leave, none of us are." May let out a scream of irritation, the wind picking up as she did. Harry as well as Fred moved toward her once more.

"I said NO!" She yelled at them. A strike of lightning hit the tree she was standing by setting it on fire. Harry and Fred both jumped back in shock. May looked at them in shock before she began backing away from them.

"I'm sorry." She whispered before she turned around and ran away, leaving the Weasleys behind in confusion. With Fred calling after her.

That took forever to write this chapter... pheeew its over. :)
