Hey guys. I meant to post this last week and it never happened. So sorry I have been super busy and my life is only about to get crazier. I hope you enjoy the latest chapter. Please leave me a review it would mean a lot to me.
Chapter 25: A long finish
I completely shut down the first week after Fred left. It was like when he wasn't around I was nothing. I needed him.
"Sadie" Maddy said after a week "You have to snap out of this. Fred left you here to finish school because it was important to you"
"I should have gone with him" I said "He is what's important to me now"
"Yes" Maddy said "But so is finishing school which you won't do if you don't snap out of it"
"You're right" I said standing up "I am going to give it everything I have these last two months. Because then Fred and I will be together forever"
Maddy and I gathered out things and headed off to our charms class.
"Miss. Thomas" I heard the buttery sweet voice behind me. I turned with a smile to her.
"Professor" I said as she approached me in her tiny pink suit with a overly large pink bow.
"I need a word with you" She said "I have informed Professor Flitwick that you will return to class whenever we are done"
I looked back at Maddy who just shrugged her shoulders. I followed Umbridge up to her office quietly wondering what I had done to deserve this.
"Have a seat Miss. Thomas" She said and I took a seat carefully. "Miss. Thomas I told you that if I found out you knew anything about a secret organization that I would personally see your career go down the toilet before you even have one."
I nodded willing myself to breath.
"Well I have evidence that you not only knew about the group but were indeed a part of it" She said
"I don't know what you're talking-" I began
"Cut the crap" She said "Where did you're fiancé and his brother flee to"
"What?" I asked confused
"Where is Fred and George Weasley" She demanded
"I have no idea" I said "I would guess to the new premises of their shop"
"Do you take me for a fool" She growled "We looked there. The shop was not set up so their only taking mail orders right now. Now they fled school grounds and released a giant swamp that we can't make go away. I demand to know where they are"
"Honestly professor I don't know where they are" I said
"Fine" She said "I wouldn't bother working so hard on finishing school because you will never see the light of St. Mungo's or anything else. The ministry has a lot of influence there and I have a lot influence with the minister"
I stared at her. What was I supposed to do. I had no idea where Fred and George might have gone.
"Am I done?" I asked coldly
"Yes return to your classes" She said and I left. I did not stop until I was far enough away and then I ducked into a bathroom. I then began to allow myself to cry. What were Fred and I going to do now? We couldn't live off the money he made from the Joke Shop. Once I had pulled myself together I met back up with Maddy.
"She is looking for Fred" I said
"Wouldn't he be at the shop" She asked confused
"They're not there. The shop wasn't even set up yet. There was a note on the door saying they were taking mail orders, but no location of them." I explained
"What did you tell her" Maddy asked
"That I have no idea where he went" I said frustrated
"And what did she say to that"
"That I could kiss my future goodbye" I said "What am I going to do"
"Not worry" Maddy said "I have a feeling that we haven't heard the last of Dumbledore"
I kept myself busy the next few weeks studying with Maddy for our NEWTS. I was determined to so great that there was no way they could refuse me job.
"Sadie you are overworking yourself" Poppy said as I checked on a fifth year who had fainted. It was the day of the OWL exams and she was the third one who had been brought in.
"Well I want to do good Poppy" I said
"I know Umbridge has been giving you a hard time" She said "About Fred leaving"
"I can handle it" I said "I only have a month left and then I am done"
"I am going to miss your smiling face around here" She said
"I'm going to miss you too Poppy" I said
At that moment there was a commotion outside and the doors burst open. There were several ministry works carrying Professor McGonagall.
"What in the world" Poppy said rushing over I was right behind her.
"She stepped in as we were trying to remove Hagrid from the premises" One of the works said "Took four stuns to the chest"
I gasped "Are you insane. At her age you could have killed her"
"It wasn't our fault" another worker defended "She stepped in front of them"
"Put her over here" Poppy said and they laid her on the bed. Poppy and I began to work on her as best as we could. We worked through supper and well into the evening.
"I think that's all we can do tonight" Poppy said "She is one tough woman. Sadie go get some rest I am going to need you tomorrow"
"Ok" I said and headed back to the common room. Maddy and several others met me at the door.
"How is McGonagall" They asked
"She is stable" I said "We'll see in the morning. She may have to be moved to St. Mungo's."
"Was it that bad?" Maddy asked
"Four stunners to the chest" I said "Even on a young person that wouldn't be good"
The next day was crazy. Poppy attended to McGonagall and I attended to everyone else. It was the second day of OWLS and we had more fainters coming in. There was no Change in McGonagall.
"Poppy" I said "I think we should move her to St. Mungo's"
"No she'll come out of this" She said
"I know she will" I said "But I think she'll come around fast at St. Mungo's where there are more healers and they can take good care of her"
She sighed "I suppose you're right"
Before lunch some healers came and carefully moved her to St. Mungo's hospital.
"Go get some lunch Sadie" Poppy told me. I was walking to the Great Hall when I ran into a frantic Harry.
"Where are you going" I asked
"I have to see Professor McGonagall" He said
"Harry she's not here" I said "We moved her to St. Mungo's this morning"
"She's gone" He said looking panicked
"Yes she needed better care than we could give her here" I said "Four stunners to the chest it's a wonder they didn't kill her"
Harry suddenly took off running in an opposite direction. I continued to lunch and then back to the hospital wing. Sometime that afternoon Maddy came running into the hospital wing.
"Did you hear" She yelled
"What" I asked looking up
"Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville, and Luna overtook Umbridge and fled the castle" She said
"What" Poppy said standing up.
"Yea" Maddy said "I don't where they went or if they are coming back"
"Ron and Ginny went too" I asked stunned "Poor Molly four kids in one semester"
I finished my work there and headed back to the common room. I began to study some more because NEWTS were next week. I had fallen asleep in front of the fire when Poppy came to get me.
"Sadie" She shook me awake "I need you to come help me"
I followed her down to the hospital Wing where Ginny, Neville, Luna, Ron, and several order members were. Tonks was unconscious.
"What happened?" I asked as I began patching people up. The rest of the Weasley's, an older woman, and a strange man came bursting in.
"Ron" Molly screamed as she ran to him "Ginny"
"They apparently had a run in with some death eaters" Poppy said as she worked on Tonks "No need to worry everyone will be just fine. Nymphadora here may need to go to St. Mungo's"
"What were you thinking" Molly demanded her children "Are you insane"
"Harry thought they had Sirius" Ron explained "We had to help him"
"So instead of telling an adult you took your LIVES into your own hands" She yelled
"You should have heard her at the house" Fred said as I healed Neville.
"Where is Harry" Arthur asked
"Albus took him to his office" Poppy said "St. Mungo's is coming to move Tonks"
"Where is Sirius" Molly asked "Is he in the office with Harry"
Everyone suddenly got really quite. Molly must have caught on because she gasped and put her hand over her mouth.
"We're really sorry mum" Ginny cried "We really thought he was in trouble"
"Don' apologize Ginny" Lupine said "Sirius knew the risks. I am proud that we have a group of kids with backbones. We're gonna need that"
"Poor Harry" I said as Fred and I sat on the couch in my living room. I had just graduated from Hogwarts earlier that day. "I mean he has lost almost everyone that was family to him. I mean his parents and now Sirius."
"I know" Fred said "I wish I could just kill you-know-who for him. I mean someone needs to. He has taken everything from Harry. He's even tried taking his mind."
"It will happen eventually" I said placing my hand over his "We have bigger things to worry about"
"Right" He said "Seven days and then you Miss. Thomas will be all mine"
"I can hardly wait" I said as I kissed him
