Time

After Sophia had calmed down considerably she arrived back at Muriel's deceitful mansion. She rolled up on the driveway and turned off the gas sitting in the car. She sat unblinking at the sunrise that was peaking over the hill tops in the distance. She heard the crunch of the gravel as someone neared the car and chose to ignore it. The passenger car door opened and the car tilted as someone stepped in and closed the door behind them.

"It's quite beautiful isn't it? It's simple, but beautiful." Ginny stated as she stared at the scenery with Sophia. Ginny glanced at Sophia and sighed "He really cares for you... you know?"

"Of course I know, that argument just got out of hand," Sophia finally spoke

"Are you okay, Sophia? I've actually never seen Fred so angry since Ms. Umbridge..." Ginny asked thoughtfully and Sophia smiled the tinniest bit

"Yeah, I'm fine. No battle scars," She said showcasing her arms but Ginny was not impressed

"No battle scars you can see," She said bluntly and Sophia drooped her arms and lent up against the car window

"I'm in love with him, that's the problem," Sophia confessed

"Why's that a problem?" Ginny asked downcast to here her think that loving Fred was a problem

"Because I shouldn't be..."

"But he love's you to!" Ginny fought valiantly "He's in love with you, Sophia..." Sophia shook her head all her tears already spent

"I know he is... that's why this is just making it harder,"

"What does he do? Now, I'm just as curious as he is,"

"He doesn't do anything. It's just what happens, I can't... stop thinking about it... it's all I think about." She revealed breathing heavily as images reached her mind of the event

"Does he fall in love with someone else?" Ginny guessed but Sophia kept her face neutral

"I can't tell you," Sophia said

"Then who can you tell?"

"No one... absolutely no one," Sophia spoke feeling more alone than ever.

Ginny eventually got out of the car upset and Sophia soon followed awhile later passing the Dining room.

"Sophia, get in here. You're being rude to our guests," Muriel called as she passed the doorway. Sophia walked into the room and addressed everyone

"I'm sorry, but I'm not hungry yet. Maybe I'll see you for lunch," She apologised and left the room before Muriel could protest

She went upstairs and promptly feel asleep, sleeping through lunch and well through dinner until she woke up in the middle of the night

"Sophie...?" she heard Leon's voice call, she sat up in her bed and looked at him worriedly all dressed in his pajamas

"Leon? Is everything okay?" she asked

"You were screaming in your sleep again?" he said and she finally noticed how sweaty she was

"A-again?" she asked and he nodded mutely, she felt her cheeks and found them wet

"You were crying too..." he mumbled "Do you want me to get Fred?"

"Yes." She answered without thinking "Please, Leon, if you could...?"

Leon disappeared and Sophia took this time to clean herself up quickly. As she re-entered her room she found Leon and Fred standing there. Sophia and Fred stared at one another for a long time before she finally addressed Leon

"Leon," Sophia whispered "It's okay now, I've got Fred here with me so it's okay to go to sleep, alright?" he nodded and hugged her

"I love you, Sophie,"

"I love you too, Leon," she said kissing his forehead and he walked out of the room leaving them alone

"Leon said you were crying..." Fred whispered and Sophia stayed silent

"I can't... stop thinking about... what will happen. I keep dreaming about it..." Sophia started to cry and Fred pulled her closer finally guessing what was going to happen.

"It's okay..." he breathed taking in a long breath and exhaling "It's going to be okay,"

The next morning, when Sophia was back to normal, the family discussed the sequence of the book while Leon was stuck with Aunt Muriel. Much to his disgust.

"So what happens next, oh fair narrator?," George addressed to Sophia with a grin but she didn't return it

"Actually, I would like to know what happened to three of them at the Malfoy's?" Arthur said and Sophia nodded

"Okay then, I'll start from there," she said taking a breath "They were abroad when the Snatchers caught them and took them to Malfoy's after they recognised Harry. Though they only saw his scar because Hermione did a stinging jinx? I think,"

"Merlin... they're the worst... Especially when you're on the other end of Ginny's wand," George commented rubbing his face and Ginny smiled smugly. Sophia grinned

"Yeah, I know about her bat-bogey hex too," Sophia smiled and she continued "So, um they took 'em to the Malfoy's, they told Draco to identify him but whether he did know it was Harry I don't know but he didn't rat them out. Even when Lucius told him how the family would be forgiven,"

"What do you mean by that?" Ginny asked

"When Lucius went to Azkaban for something... I can't really remember, Old Voldy got angry," Sophia explained roughly

"Oh that..." Ginny said

"So, Bellatrix came in and she was..." Sophia thought, changing the story a bit in her mind, so as to not reveal too much "angry, that nothing was going well so she picked off Hermione, the boys were forced into the cellar. Once they heard Hermione scream Ron lost the plot and started screaming for her but there was no escape. Dobby showed up and helped bust them out with some trouble along the way... Bellatrix killed Dobby when they were escaping. But there all safe now," Everyone was downcast at the news of Dobby's death

"What happens next?" Arthur prompted and Sophia took a deep breath relieving herself of the flash of images that has been plaguing her.

"Something big happens... and when I say big, it's pretty bloody huge but nothing compared to the next event. When the first event happens, that's pretty much the signal that we're going to war... which is the next event..." Sophia said and Molly paled

"So soon?" Arthur breathed disbelieving holding his wife's hand

"I don't know how soon it will be. But those two events are within a two day period," Sophia explained

"Does anyone die in the first event?" Molly questioned worriedly

"Not anyone note worthy," and at that Molly was relieved. She breathed deeply and sighed heavily

"Well, I think it's time to start breakfast don't you?" Molly mused and she got up to make breakfast when Baubles came into the Dining room with everyones breakfast already served. "Oh... well isn't this nice?"

After breakfast Sophia went up to her room to change when a knock came to the door.

"Come in," she called and the door promptly opened, she turned around just after putting on a shirt to see Fred. "Oh hey, I didn't think it was you..."

"Who'd you think it was then?" Fred asked curiously

"Ginny asking for some of her stuff back seeing as I'm wearing most of it," Sophia explained turning back to him fully "Is there something you wanted?"

"Ah, yeah... I um... wanted to apologise for yesterday... I was out of line..." Fred started and Sophia nodded

"I'm sorry Fred, I truly am... but I can't-"

"Tell me... I know..." Fred finished for her and they stood there awkwardly "I'm sorry for being so angry, I was wrong, this isn't your fault. We could... be friends instead... if that's easier on you?" he offered not looking at her and Sophia's heart pained at the thought of 'just friends'. As Sophia thought about her answer Fred silently wished she would never agree

"O-okay, of course..." Sophia mumbled reluctantly and Fred gave her an insincere smile and acted his best to be happy

"Great..." Fred mumbled through clenched teeth "Well, um, would you like to play exploding snap with Ginny, George and myself?"

"Sure... That'd be awesome..." she said with a small smile and Fred smiled back holding out a hand and she took it intertwining their fingers.
