108. Burning Of The Burrow and All The Worst

**Fred's POV**

"Mum, what's happening?" I asked, pointing my wand everywhere.

"Death Eaters are here. They came for Harry" Mum said.

"What!?" We all asked in shock.

"Yes. Bellatrix had come and Harry went after her with Sirius following. Remus and Nymphadora stayed to calm down the fire that they put out. Ginny went after Harry and once the fire was put out, Arthur went to find Harry, Ginny, and Sirius" Mum explained.

"Someone's Apprating" Ron pointed at the black fog.

"There's another" George said as we watched both black dogs go through the Burrow causing it to burn to the ground.

"No!" We all shouted.

"Molly," Dad said, taking Mum's waist as he came with Harry, Ginny, Padfoot, Moony, and Tonks.

I ran my hands through my hair while Mione hugged and cried Ginny.

"This can't be happening," George said looking at the ground.

"On Christmas?" Ginny asked.

"Where will we stay?" Ron asked.

"I don't know. We will work things out" Dad said.

"You can all stay at Grimmauld with me" Sirius offered.

"Oh, Sirius!" Mum hugged him.

"I'll take that as a thank you," Padfoot said, trying to cheer everyone up, but only slightly.

"We will help build the Burrow, if you'd like, Molly" Tonks said.

"Thank you, Nymphadora" Mum said, and this time, Tonks' hair didn't go red!

Wow, look at that...

We watched the Burrow's flames go out and we looked through the damages for a while.

"I had cast a charm on everyone's clothing before I ran out. So, all of our clothing is safe" Mum said with a crack in her voice.

"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley," Mione said, throwing a comforting smile at Mum.

We all went to find our clothes and we got together.

"Okay. We'll go in pairs. Fred with Hermione, George with Ginny, Molly with Ron, and Harry, with Sirius to Apparate to Grimmauld. We will see you all there" Dad said as he, Moony, and Tonks Apparated to Grimmauld.

**Hermione's POV**

"Are you okay?" I asked Fred as I took his hand.

"I don't know. To be honest, 'Mione. This is the worst first Anniversary ever..." Fred kicked a rock towards the Burrow.

"Well, this was only our first. There will be better ones..." I said.

"You think so? We're in the middle of a war" Fred said sadly.

"I'm positive" I smiled slightly.

"You're the best, Granger. You know that?" Fred slowly kissed me on the cheek.

"No, Weasley. You're the best" I smiled and he Apparated us to Grimmauld with my stuff in my hands and his stuff in his hands.
