*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Esther jumped awake her ears pounding. Lenna had raced down the hallway and slipped into her niece's room. "Essie are you okay?"
Esther's Sapphire blue eyes were brimmed with tears that she shook away. "I'll be okay.."
Lenna shook her head, "No you won't! Speak up!"
Esther sighed, "I saw my brother and sister-in-law get murdered." She stated looking out the window, he face blank. "I saw Jamie get taken by deatheaters....I saw Jake's dead body. I saw Malfoy. And I saw..." She stopped. She didn't know who the lady was, so she couldn't tell Lenna. She sighed, "It was bad."
Auther Weasly had offered to take the four to the London Hospital, Esther, to Lenna, Fred, and George's great worry, didn't speak. Not even when Mr. Weasly asked questions. Fred knew something had happened to Esther, George couldn't say anything. Lenna knew why, but she knew her niece and hoped she would cheer up soon.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Craven hugged his youngest as she came running into the hospital room. He then gave his stepsister, Lenna a hug, which she returned. He looked around the room, "Essie? Where's your sister?"
Esther didn't answer , she went to her Mother's side, looking at her. Lenna sighed, "Wendle didn't come." Craven looked at Lenna with a half-worried, half-confused look.
Esther lay her head on the bed, next to her mother's arm, "Mom, I missed you so!" She whispered. "What happened?" She didn't except an answer, thought it felt good just to talk to her.
Someone came into the room. A deep gentle voice, Esther's looked up. There was a man, wavy light blond hair and bright twinkling blue eyes. It was Jake! She rushed to her brother and was hugged in his big arms. She cried into his shoulder. Just his smell, like the sea, was reassuring, and comforting. She cried in his collar, "Jake, I had a dream. You died!"
Jake looked at his baby sister, "Gosh Essie, I knew you hate me but not that much!"
Esther hit him, "Stop! It was horrible. Malfoy was there....He killed you!"
Jake looked at her with a odd look and pulled her back, "How did you know about Malfoy?"
"Jake? What do you mean?"
"Malfoy has been threaten Gloria and Jamie, Saying If I don't give up my vote in the Muggle protection unit he'll-"Jake stopped, and gave a questioning look to his sister, "But you couldn't have known."
Suddenly the rest of the room, which had seemed to disappear, came back. There were the other's worried looks and her Father's blue stare. Esther held his stare until she couldn't any longer. She looked to Lenna, She looked confused, but understanding.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Esther you should just go to bed."
Lenna and Esther were that Last ones in the Room. Esther shook her head, "She's worse....and.....and the doctors can't do what our Medi-wizards could do!"
She banged her fist against the pillow in her hand. "We could save her!" She burst into tears, falling to the floor. Lenna was beside her, tears streaming from her own eyes. She hugged her niece. "Essie, She's not going to die! I promise."
Esther snapped, "What do you Lenna! Huh? Did you know this was going to happen? Do you know EVERYTHING?!" Lenna looked taken back, she stood and walked over to the window, and looked out. Esther sighed, "Leni, I didn't mean it like that. I'm scared. I'm losing my mother and my sister. She's changing. She hates being a Dumbledore! She hates me!" She sighed, "I just want my Mom safe. I just want... everything to be normal again, I'm sorry Lenny..."
:Lenna smiled and hugged her niece, "I know." She sniffed, "I'm going to bed now."
When Esther heard the door click, she stood. She pulled her wand out of her pocket. She closed her eyes, and waved her wand over her mother's bed. Small purple sparkles lowered themselves onto Laura Dumbledore as Esther spoke the healing phrase. Then waited. Two minutes......four minutes..... ten. Nothing. Esther slumped to the ground her head on the bed, "I'm sorry Mum.."She sobbed, "I tried! I tried!"
A hand rubbed the short golden locks, "Essie, hun? What's matter?"
Esther eyes snapped open, "Mum?" She sat up, Laura Dumbledore was awake and smiling, "Esther? Are you all right?"
Esther grabbed her mom in a hug. "Course I'm alright." Laura hugged her daughter, barely rembering the past few months. Esther, however, laughed and hugs away the pain, fear and hate of the last months torture.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"ESSIE!" Beth came racing down the hall knocking a few nurses down. Esther took her best friend in the biggest hug. "Oh Beth! She's okay! She's okay!!"Beth looked at her with wide eyes, "She's better?"
Lenna came out into the hall. "Esther!" She breathed, half laughing, "People are sick!" She laughed, then joined in the laughter.
A small form suddenly jumped on Esther's back. Esther turned around, "JAMES!" She cried, Lenna and Beth stuck a hand over her mouth. "G'erof!" She said shrugging them off, a lovely lady with light blond hair and brown eyes came around the corner, with Jake's arm around her. Esther smiled, "Why Jameson! You look just like your father,"She winked, "Only handsomer!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Later that day, Jake asked to take the older five: Esther, Lenna, Fred, George and Beth, to the Leaky Caldron Esther slipped into her parent's room. She was just going to grab her coat. She looked up to see her mother kiss her father. She smiled. She had done it! She had saved her Mother!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Esther was back at school. She looked down two different hallways. No one.
"Fred? George?"
She walked down the hallway and threw open a class door. No one. She ran down to the great hall. No one. She was frantic now. No one in potions. No one in the dorms, No one as all. As she came back into the great hall she saw how trashed the school was. Things were falling apart. As she turned the school slowly became dust.
"Esther..."
Oh it was a dream! Wait, how could it be?
"Esther...."
"Go way!" She yelled covering her ears.
"Why won't you listen?" The questing voice of the Lady answered.
"You keep showing me things I don't want to see! What do you want." Out of the bright light the Lady held out her hands. Some thing from a chain dangled from them.
"I want you to have faith. I won't be here much longer to help you." Even though Esther couldn't see her face she could tell the Lady smiled, "For now. Wake up."
Esther sat up, and looked around the hotel room. Lenna was on the bed and Beth on the spare. She sighed and lay back on the couch. "What is going on with me!?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day, Esther, Lenna and Beth's family made their way down to the station. Beth was going back to school in three days and needed to get back. Esther was very much out of it. She walked beside Lenna in a daze. What the Lady had said stuck in her mind. What did she mean? Faith? She didn't need that now. She needed that the past four months when her Mom lay dieing in hospital.
"Uh Essie?"
Esther looked up in time before she went into the train, "Sorry, I'm kinda out of it."
Beth looked at Lenna, "Uh yeah! You okay?"
Esther nodded, "Yes."She however was lying.
When they got back, both the twins and Lenna insisted she said she would take a nap. As soon as she closed her eyes she had anthor dream.
Again she was unseen by everyone. She saw Lenna and Fred by a graveside. Fred had his hands on Lenna's shoulders, as Lenna silently cried. Esther looked down the fog lit road to see George come up, wearing black and holding white roses. Lenna wiped her eyes. "Where's Essie?" George looked back up the road, disturbed. "She's still waiting for Wen. Wen won't come."
Lenna let Fred wrap his arms around her, as she laid her head back she sighed, "She's been through too much. She can't." Fred calmed her down and sighed, "Esther has a way of believing. She'll get through."
Fred kissed Lenna's head before he and George left. Esther noticed how Lenna was different. She was still the Lenna she knew. But she was taller, more elegant, and Sliver streaks through her dark brown hair. Esther started to protest, ~But your not even 18!~
Lenna looked up the road, "Oh Esther, we need you. You can't be who you are without faith. She didn't die so you would stop living."
Esther fallowed Lenna to the casket where Lenna lay one red rose inside. "I promised I would help her Laura. I intend to keep that."
Esther put a hand over her mouth. Her mother lay inside.
Esther awoke with a start. Not anthor bad dream, thankfully they were only dreams. Lenna came running in, "Esther quick. Get ready, it's your Mom.
Lenny! In this chapter you'll see *why* Lenna is SO much more mature than Essie!!
