"Where are we?" Fred asked, looking around the dark, damp room I took us too.
"Were at a beach house my parents and I use to go to during the summer. Dad sold it several years ago and it's abandoned now. It was the first place I thought of."
"But where is it?"
"Dårlig Ulv-Stranden. It's in Norway."
"Norway! You took us to bloody Norway!" Fred shouted, not liking the fact that we were so far away.
"I panicked! This was the first place I could think of."
"I have to get back," Fred said flatly.
I grabbed his arm. "Please don't! Fred, I'm so scared! There was a Death Eater in her room. She could have been killed. I'm sorry we're so far way, but I just acted!"
"Who was it?"
"What?"
"The Death Eater. Who was in her room." He sounded angry, ready to kill whoever dare think of harming his little girl.
"I-I don't know. I just saw a black figure and hexed him. I don't know who it was." Daphne still wasn't happen and was crying softly in my arms. I gently bounced her up and down, trying to get her to relax.
"I need to go back," he said and before I could stop him, he Apparated away.
Daphne was still crying, so I put my worries and emotions aside and got things ready for her. In what use to be my room, I conjured up and crib and everything she would need for the night. I laid her down in the crib. It took awhile, but she finally exhausted herself and fell back asleep.
I got things ready in what use to by my parents room for Fred and myself. I hoped he wouldn't mind staying the night here because I really don't wanna go back right now. Who knows what's going on out there.
It was hours before Fred came back. I was starting to get worried that something happened to him. "Fred!" I yelled when he returned. I launched myself at him and hung on for dear life. He embraced me as well. "I was so worried!"
He kissed the top of my head and released me. "When I got back the battle was still going on, but soon the Death Eaters had us surrounded. The questioned us for hours, asking where Harry was. 'Course we didn't tell them, mainly because we don't know. He just left. Then they searched the house. The Death Eater that was in Daphne's room was Dolovoh. He remembered seeing you and Daphne before you stunned him. He thought that you two went after Harry and pressed us for information about that. Another Death Eater, Amycus Carrow saw us together when they first attacked. He mentioned that then they took me aside and questioned, more like tortured me for information. 'Course I didn't say anything. Finally they left. I came back here as soon as I could."
I looked him up and down. His clothes were dirty and he was clearing wore out and tired. "They tortured you?"
He nodded. "More or less. He used the Cruciatus Curse a few times. Nothing I couldn't handle though."
"Oh!" I hugged him tightly around the neck, never wanting to let him go. "I love you so much," I whispered in his ear.
"I love you too, Willow," he said and kissed my temple.
"Do you mind staying here for the night?"
"That is perfectly fine with me," he said, relaxing in my arms. "Now, if you don't mind, I would like to say good night to Daphne then go to bed myself."
I smiled. "She's in the room down the hall. Our room is three doors down from hers." I stood up on my tiptoes and gave him a quick kiss before going bed. I crawled in and snuggled under the covers. A couple minutes later, Fred came in. He didn't even bother getting ready for bed. He simply kicked off his shoes and collapsesed onto the bed.
"Today has been a very long day," he said, staring at the ceiling. "I'm almost too tired to sleep."
I snuggled closer to him. "Everything's ok now, Fred. Just try to get some sleep. We'll worry about everything else in the morning."
He responded by pulling to him so my head was on his chest. He kissed the top of my head and within seconds, he was asleep. I closed my eyes and let the gently thumping on his heart put me to sleep.
Fred slept well into the afternoon. I was up at my normal time, taking care of Daphne. She seemed completely fine, despite everything that happened yesterday. Around two in the afternoon, Fred finally woke up. "Morning sunshine," I said sweetly.
"More like 'afternoon lazyarse'," he grumbled. "Merlin, I'm sorry I slept so long."
"It's ok. After everything that happened I don't blame you at all. You needed your rest."
"Yeah but I left you to take care of Daphne all by yourself."
I shrugged. "It's nothing I can't handle." I smiled at him.
Later that evening, we stopped by the Burrow. The family was there and they were so happy that Daphne and I were ok. "We were so worried about you!" Mrs. Weasley said, hugging me tightly. "Fred said you got away, but we didn't know if the Death Eaters found you!" She was near tears.
"We're ok, Mrs. Weasley. I Apparated us somewhere completely safe," I tried to reassure the near frantic woman. She continued hug me.
"Easy, Molly. They'll fine," Mr. Weasley said, placing a hand on his wife's shoulder and pulling her away from me.
"Where's George?" Fred asked, looking around.
"He went to see what the shop was like," Mrs. Weasley said, "he should be back soon." I could tell that she was still really worried about George. I would be too if that was my kid out there. I glanced over at Fred, he looked worried as well.
We sat around in the living room, not really talking, waiting for George to come back. I knew Fred wanted to get up and go find his twin, but he didn't want to worry his mother, or me, anymore than we already were. "He'll be ok, love. This is George we're talking about," I whispered to him. He simply nodded his head and took Daphne.
About an hour later, George came back. Mrs. Weasley jump up and embraced her son like there was no tomorrow. "Geez, mum, you act like I was never coming back."
"I didn't know if you would! Death Eaters are everywhere! You could have been attacked and we would never know!" She clung to him.
"Mum, I'm alright. Can't say the same for the shop though. It was completely destroyed. I managed to save a few products though. Then I went and stopped by Ange's to make sure she was ok. That visit took longer than expected." I smirked, knowing what caused the prolonged visit. "Then I can right back here."
"I'm just glad you're ok," said Mrs. Weasley pulling away from her son.
"I don't think we'll be able to go back to the shop," George said, looking at me and Fred. "Not only is it completely destroyed, but it says 'Weasley' on the front and we aren't the most liked family by the Death Eaters."
"So what do we do?" asked Fred.
"Ange said I could stay at her place," said George.
"And there's still my old summer house we can stay at," I added. "You and Angelina can there with us if you want." I said, knowing that it would be the first time the twins were so far away from each other and it might be hard on them.
"Don't worry about it, Willow. I'll be fine over at Ange's," George said and smiled.
"But why don't you two stay here for the night? Just this once," Mrs. Weasley said, looking between her twin boys. I could tell she was really worried about them and wanted them near her.
Fred sighed. "Oh, alright. But just tonight, Mum." George nodded in agreement.
"Let me just tell Angelina," he said and left to send a Patronus.
That night I laid awake in bed, Fred's arm wrapped around me while my head rested on his bare chest. "Fred?" I asked, half hoping he was still asleep.
"Hmm?" he responded, his eyes still closed.
"What's gonna happen now?" I asked in a small voice.
"I don't know, love. We'll just stay at your old summer home. And I'm sure George and I will fingure out a way to keep the shop going, even if we can't actually be there." He tightened is hold on me, his eyes never opening. "But for now, sleep."
I snuggled closer to him, gently planting a kiss on his chest. He stroked my hair a few times and I closed my eyes, drifting asleep.
This was more or less a filler chapter, sorry about that. I've hit a rough patch but hopfully I'll come out of it soon! Like I've said before, I know where I wanna go but I'm not sure how to get there.
Also, if you can tell me what "Dårlig Ulv-Stranden" translates too, then...well you'll be my new best friend! Haha, but seriously if you have an idea you want me to use or what not, I'll do it.
Anyway! I would really like it if I could get five reviews this time. You've been really good at giving me four reviews, so let's see if we can do one better! R&R&V(ote)!...or at least try to haha.
