A/N: Last chapter. =)

Chapter 13

Eight days had past and I still had heard nothing from George. Draco and Ron had both written him telling him that Angelina was a liar. But to my displeasure I had heard nothing. It was time for breakfast and I went and sat with Ron, Harry, Hermione and Ginny.

"Hey, still nothing?" Ginny asked. I shock my head. "Why does my brother have to be such an idiot? No offense but we were all mad when we found out you two were dating...if anything Ron writing him should show that we want this to work now. Boys..."

I laughed. "Thanks. George can be very stubborn sometimes. I of all people know that. When he has thought something up it tends to stick in his mind til he gets some sense talked into him. Between Ron and Fred I am sure things will be okay with us."

The owls were rushing in at this point. One dropped by Ron, he pulled out two parchments. He opened one and read. He looked at the other and handed it to me. He looked uneasy. I opened the parchment and read.

Mary,

I received yours, Draco's and Ron's letters. I will say that Ron's letter was informative. He did tell me that you were with Draco AND Brennan. I am sorry, but he said that you have been spending a lot of time with guys when I asked him. I didn't think it would be like this...so I will admit I feel maybe I rushed this engagement. Maybe it was too soon. I should have seen that you weren't ready. That you would go back to your normal flirtacious self once I had left Hogwarts. I don't blame you, I know that is who you are. But it is still disappointing. So we are back together, but this engagement is being prolonged for a little bit. I love you.

George.

I read it twice just to make sure I had read it correctly. I felt the tears that were threatening to fall. Ron looked like he was sad. "I didn't say you were doing anything wrong. He blew it out of context completely. He asked me if you were hanging with all guys and I said you were but it was the lot that you have hung out with from the beginning. I didn't say you were doing anything questionable."

"It's okay...like I said...stubborn and when he gets something in his head..." I stood up slowly and walked out of the Great Hall. I went and waited in Snape's classroom. Draco walked in shortly after and handed me a note.

"This arrived for you." I recognized Lucius' handwritting. I opened it and read.

Mary,

Tonight is the night. Wish us all luck, we will see you when you get on summer break. We are all excited to see you.

With Love,

Lucius

I was quiet. I didn't know what to do with this information. I knew that I should tell Harry or Ron so they could warn the Order. But right now, I didn't have much information and I know they were still on the fence about me being a double agent.

That night passed slowly. By the time night fell, it was quiet. Around midnight, Snape came running into the dormitory.

"Lestrange, the death eaters are up to something. Did you have any word on it?"

"Lucius said something about it but didn't specify, I got a note earlier." I pulled out the note from my robes.

"Why didn't you talk to me about this?" He asked.

"I didn't know what good would have come from it, there were no specifics. I didn't know what anyone could do with this information."

"None the less. Get some sleep, something tells me tomorrow we will be in for hell." Snape said and walked out.

The next morning I was awoken by Pansy Parkinson. "He's back. You-Know-Who is back!"

I woke up and got dressed and walked down to the Great Hall. Everyone was there, Ron and Ginny, I ran up to them. "What happened?"

"We were at the ministry with Harry. We were attacked by Death Eaters. They tricked Harry, we fought them."

"Are all of you okay? No one in the order was killed were they?" I was worried, with George being out I was afraid that he would have been fighting with the ministry. Everyone was silent. Then I realized Harry wasn't there. "Where is Harry?"

Hermione finally spoke up. "Harry is fine. We did have one casualty. Sirius didn't make it. Bellatrix...your mother killed him."

I was silent. "Sirius?" I sat down with them. "What happened to the Death Eaters?"

"Some were caught, some got away. Malfoy was one who was caught." Ron said smuggly. We all saw Harry walk in.

I walked up to him. "Harry...I'm so sorry for your loss. I am sure I am the last one you want to hear that from...all things considering."

"Your mother..."

"She is NOT my mother. Harry I am on your side."

He was quiet and walked away. I walked over to Draco, he looked furious. "Have you heard?" He asked bitterly. I nodded. "I bet your new friends are thrilled that my father is sitting in Azkaban right now."

"Draco, don't be like that. Your father is like family to me. I am just as upset as you are."

"No your not. You don't want to be a part of my family, remember? You want to be apart of Weasley's family. So why don't you go and do that?" He turned his shoulder to me and of course Pansy was there to hug him and soothe him.

I walked out of the dormitory. The rest of the time at Hogwarts for me was class, packing and waiting for it to be over. It was finally time to board the Hogwarts Express. I was the first person on the train. I didn't want anyone to not let me sit with them so I figured if someone wanted to sit with me, they would. I found a compartment and sat down.

I was there for ten minutes before the compartment door opened. It was Miles, Terence and Christian. "Mind if we sit?"

"You guys aren't mad at me like every other Slytherin in this school?"

"No, its not like you wanted it to happen. I know you see Lucius as your own family so I doubt you wanted him in Azkaban." Miles said.

I smiled, at least some still had faith in me. The ride home was long. I was most anxious to see George. Before we pulled in, I said my goodbyes and was at the train door with my trunk ready to go. As soon as the doors opened I walked out and scanned all the people there. I saw Narcissa, I walked up and hugged her.

"Oh my dear. It has been so hard being in the manor by myself. I will be so glad to have you and Draco there."

"I won't be there for a few weeks. I have to stay with George for a little bit. But I will write you and let you know when I will be there."

I said my goodbyes and scanned the crowd. I didn't see George, I wasn't sure if he was going to be mad at me as well. I looked for a few more minutes with no luck, I sat down on my trunk and put my hands in my head.

"Oh dear! There you are!" I heard Mrs. Weasley's voice. "George had a last minute business emergency to take care of. He will be at the burrow later on."

We went to the burrow and I was waiting there anxiously. A few hours passed and George still wasn't back. I was getting anxious. Mrs. Weasley came over to me. "Come now dear, why don't you have a spot of lunch?"

"I will wait for George, do you have any clue when he might be back?"

"He didn't say, just that he would be back as soon as he possibly could be." She smiled at me. "If you change your mind dear, let me know and I will whip you something up."

I nodded. I heard a familiar voice. "-not the problem, there is no one in Diagon Alley so it will hurt business."

"But there is no where else, except Hogsmeade." I heard Fred say. I ran out the door and ran as fast as I could to George. I hugged him and kissed him. I felt him wrap me in his arms tight.

"Oy! Sorry I couldn't be at the station, I tried my hardest but we just couldn't get things figured out by then."

I kissed him. "You're here now." I hugged him again. "George can we talk outside?"

He lead the way we went to the garden and sat down. "I just want you to know that I didn't know about the attack until hours before and even then, I had no specific details." I pulled out Lucius' note and let him read it. "I knew that it wasn't enough information to help and I didn't want to be accused of withholding information when I wasn't."

"I know, I know by now where your loyalties lie, and it is where mine lie. I trust you, and I do understand why you didn't say anything. Besides it wouldn't have made much difference to be honest." He kissed me. "Is that it?"

"No..." I was quiet. "George, I wasn't doing anything wrong at Hogwarts when you left. I mended my friendships, which you knew I was going to do."

He didn't say anything for a few minutes. I grabbed his hand. "I just think that maybe you aren't ready for it. You know I don't like Brennan yet you still hung out with him."

"With Draco, I don't see why you make such a stink about it. You were still friends with Angelina. Look I love you, and I don't want to start taking steps backward in this relationship. I meant it, I want to spend my life with you, when I accepted your engagement I was ready for it and I still am. I want to marry you."

"Okay, I believe you."

I took his ring out of my pocket. "So with this...do I give it back?"

He took it out of my hand. He rolled it around in his hands. "I love you," He gave me a smile and put the ring back on my finger. "Fred and I are getting our own place, why don't you stay the entire summer with me?"

I smiled. We shared a kiss and I knew this summer was going to be amazing.

End Chapter.

A/N-I want to finish this story. The 6th book may be hard to incorporate so it may be short, like 5-7 chapters. We shall see. =)
