Chapter ten- 'I think it's time I went home.'
Fred struggled to against the chains that held him, trying to reach his brother when another flash of light reached them. Standing in the doorway was Bill and behind him were Charlie, Ron and Harry. Together they shot four stunning spells at Montague and he fell unconscious to the floor. Charlie and Ron ran over to George who was now lying motionless on the floor. Harry began tying up Montague with the ropes he conjured up. Bill raced over to Fred. He carefully freed him of the chains that held his arms and Fred fell forward into his arms. He looked up at his brother without speaking, but the grateful look on his face was more than enough for Bill. Fred looked anxiously over to George and tried to walk over to him, but almost fell again. Bill helped him across to where his twin lay.
Charlie and Ron looked up from where they were crouched on the floor and moved out of the way. Fred fell to his knees and looked at his brother. George was lying on his side, his breathing shallow with blood soaking his clothes. Fred placed a hand on his arm and his brothers eyes flickered open. He smiled weakly when he saw Fred. 'Come on' Fred said 'I think its time I went home.'
Mr and Mrs Weasley hurried out of the house as they heard the group return. Bill was in front, with Harry, whilst Fred and George were being supported between Charlie and Ron. 'Percy's gone to the Ministry to...' Mrs Weasley began anxiously 'It's ok mum, we got them' Mrs Weasley paused, one hand at her throat, as Mr Weasley looked puzzled. Charlie and Ron moved forward, bringing the twins with them. Their mother let out a cry of surprise 'Fred!' Her face broke into an elated smile and her eyes filled with tears as she took a hesitant step forward. Fred moved towards his parents and smiled at them 'I'm home' His mother rushed forward and grabbed him in a warm hug, which Fred lovingly returned. She was in floods of tears as she hugged her retuning son. She broke away at long last, allowing her husband to greet his son affectionately as she turned to George.
'I'm so sorry I didn't believe you' she apologised before taking her son in a loving embrace. She stroked his face and looked at his worriedly 'You're hurt, what happened?' George grinned 'I'll tell you later mum, I promise.' With a last anxious glance at George she returned to Fred. She hugged him again, more gently this time and then turned to Bill 'You might want to call Ginny and Hermione from upstairs. I think they might want to be here.' Bill went into the house and soon they heard the sound of footsteps.
Ginny appeared in the doorway, with Hermione behind her. Her mouth dropped open and she smiled ecstatically. 'Fred! You're alive!' She ran over and threw herself on her older brother who hugged her back. Hermione followed more sedately. 'Welcome back'
As Mrs Weasley ushered the twins inside, saying they needed to rest, the twins looked at each other
'I'm glad you found me George.'
Fred smiled gratefully
'What else was I going to do? You're part of me'
George gripped his brother's arm tightly.
'Love you George. You know that?' 'Of course I do. You're my brother. I love you too'
