Dream Come True

Chapter Fifteen: Seeing Fred...for the last time.
Sara came into the room holding a candle. She sat in front of the cage and set it down. "Hullo." Sara said glumly. "This place is a bloody hell, aye?" She continued with an empty chuckle.
"More than that..." Jennie grunted. "Sara, what have I gotten myself into?"
"A whole hell of a lot. What he told you is true. I am a Death Eater. And my orders were to hand you over to him...BUT didn't you notice that Molly had been acting a bit off?" Sara smirked.
"Well...yeah. But- how do you know Molly?" Jennie asked. "I was Molly." Sara winked. "How could you have possibly have been Molly?" Jennie said with a look that read she wasn't persuaded.
"Polyjuice Potions. I needed to make sure that you couldn't have any contact with the others. I knew they would be more dutiful than I was. I had to keep you out of what I stumbled into. But It didn't
do anything. I chased you here." Sara sobbed. "No...Sara. It's OK. I would have eventually come here. To protect Fred." Jennie sighed and thought of his playful smile to cheer her, but it only brought
a stabbing pain to her stomach. "You-You really like him don't you?" Sara smiled through her tears. Jennie sighed, "That I do. Maybe even more than just like. But I've ruined everything!"
"Don't do what HE says. All it gets you is a way to avoid death for a couple of weeks. " Sara warned. "I'm sure they'll dispose of me soon. They don't need any more betraying Death Eaters." Sara laughed
but it came out as more of a strangled cackle. "At this point, I have no idea what I'm going to do." Jennie began, "It doesn't make sense. I have all of these dreams...but none have come true. I had a
dream about how I talked to Voldemort about betraying Dumbledore...but it happened completely differently. I guess my actions are changing the future or something."
"Maybe..." Sara said thoughtfully. "And you know what? Dumbledore knew about my father. And Wormtail, that really gross guy who feeds me and stuff, says that my dad was a Death Eater and killed a ton of people
and that he got cocky and decided not to follow orders anymore so the Dark Lord killed him." Jennie sighed. "Wow..." Sara said, "Why didn't he go after you and your mum then?" "No idea...That Wormtail guy was talking about
how he had no idea why he didn't. But who knows? He may have thought I'd be more useful now." Jennie groaned. "I hope he's wrong."
Jennie was allowe dot fix her hair and change her robes for the big meeting. She was given a broom, and she set off.
1:00 sharp. She hoisted herself and climbed the ivy ladder between #11 and #13's windows. She said the phrase she'd been taught to access the window from outside. In case of an emergency. There didn't really seem to be an instance where she would need
to get in through the window...or out for that matter. But they taught it to her none the less.
Lifting the window slowly, as to make no sound, she climbed in. Fred had been sitting on the bed waiting in the moonlit room. He got up quickly and raced to her. She threw her arms around him. "Fred-I..."
"SH!" he said. "I need to tell you something first." Fred held her at arm's length. "Jennie-I think I love you..." he confessed, his face reddening.
"I-Fred..."She said panting, shocked. He held her head gently and kissed her. "I love you too, Fred." She smiled. "Wait- NO!" She suddenly remembered her dream.
"What is it?" Fred asked. "It-my dream! Did you tell anyone what I told you?" Jennie asked nervously. "No." Fred sighed. "I need to tell you something, Fred. It's very important. Look-I...I'm sorry." Jennie's face was full of regret as she pulled her sleeve up revealing her
Dark Mark. His eyes widened and he stumbled back. "I was supposed to come here and find out where Harry is for the Dark Lord. Because if I didn't he said he'd kill us. Why does everyone want to kill me?" She muttered, falling in deep desparation.
She sat down on the bed, holding her head in her hands. Fred sat beside her and hugged her tightly. "Fred- I can't! I can't go back! I can't do this anymore!" She whispered. "Sh...it's alright. It's all OK." HE promised. "Oh my God!" Her head bolted up. Why hadn't she seen this before?
"Fred...this-THIS is my dream! Soon...soon...it will...you will...it will be as it was in my dream! OK...OK...Don't say anything! If we just don't allow ourselves to say what is destined. It's already different...There's no way it can happen..."
A Death Eater slid out from his crouching position on the other side of the bed. He had followed her in. "NO!" Jennie wailed, jumping up and pulling Fred off the bed. "You foiled the plan, you dirty kid! Oh you'll pay! I have instructions to get rid of the both of you on the spot should anything go wrong."
He whispered forcefully. "My dream...changed...it...RUN, FRED! GO WAKE THE OTHERS! NOW!" Fred looked unwilling but, ran down the stairs. "Now- I have to kill you all." The Death Eater grunted. "Wait- I'll make you a deal." She sputtered, buying time. "I'm listening." He smirked.
"I'll finish them off...Give me your wand! Then I shall be redeemed!" Jennie said. "Sure, kid. Let me just write out my Death Certificate while I'm at it." He chortled. "Can't trust a fellow Death Eater?" She smiled at him as she revealed the Dark Mark. "What? He made you- a...He said you were a prisoner!" He scratched his head.
"No matter" He shrugged. "Avada-" Fred burst in the door and pointed his wand at the Death Eater and said as quickly as possible, the killing curse.
A brilliant flash of green, and it was over. Jennie rushed into Fred's arms. Dumbledore stood in the doorway. "Fred-You...know I can't stay." With a frown she looked up at him. "What? No! Why?" The Death Eater..." Fred muttered. "The Death Eater is not my greatest problem. The Dark Lord will be after me now." Jennie noted, her voice laden with sadness.
She hugged Fred as tightly as she could, not wanting to let go. She gave him a small kiss. "I will really miss you." Jennie smiled through her tears at the irony. "I'll miss you too. Maybe one day...I'll see you again?" Fred's eyes began to cloud, and his face was one of immense sadness.
"Count on it. I love you." She hugged him again. "I-I love you too..." he said softly. "I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore. For causing all of this trouble." Jennie told him. "We're going to have to change locations. But I suppose you can be forgiven. A girl is entitled to her mistakes, no matter how big." His eyes twinkled with a laugh that was never uttered.
Jennie smiled and gave him a short hug. "Thanks. For trying to keep me safe."
With that, and a short wave, Virgencina Garland climbed out of the window of number 12 Grimmauld Place, and into the night.
