Heylo once again! Write, write, and write… I seem to do that a lot, but it's the love of my life… well not seriously… I hope an actual person will be the love of my life, and this can just be a side hobby. Hmm… sounds good to me. Anyways, do you know what time it is, kids? (Kids excitedly jump up and down after I shot Barney, the great brute… which I do not own). "What time is it, Kit?" Ask the kids in happy little voices. "Its chapter time!" I say. "Story time?" Asks the little kid in the front, picking his nose. "No, CHAPTER time. Do you listen you dumb little-…" Kids face lights in horror. "Sorry… chapter time, right… on with the story." … … … Hehehe… funny. Lol, to me at least. "Well, what time is it?" I ask. My conscience kicks in. (CHAPTER TIME! ASK ME ONE MORE FREAKING TIME AND I'LL CUT OFF YOUR FREAKING AIR SUPPLY FROM UP IN YOUR MIND!) "Um… chapter time, right…"

Chapter 22- Distraction
"Orb… orb…" George muttered, fishing through remains of an old tent and some clothing. "Stupid, shining little orb… so much trouble…"
"I really hope you don't talk to yourself all the time." Alicia said, looking through some old kitchen items.
George looked up and she smirked at him. He raised an eyebrow and smiled at her. "Well, lets hope not. I don't want to scare you away."
"I'll visit when you go crazy." Alicia said.
George smiled. "I'm already crazy for you." He said, looking back down and shuffling through a pile of rocks.
Alicia looked up and watched him. He had no idea how much that meant to her. She smiled to herself and looked back down at the pots and pans, lifting them up carefully. A couple mice scurried out from under them and ran under an old piece of wood.
"Hey… do you think we'll find it?" She asked, looking up at him.
He looked around a bit more and made eye contact with her for a split second. "I really hope so, but there is no telling if we will."
"Right." Alicia said, looking down.
George picked up an old skull and threw it over into a pile of rocks.
"Shitty orb." George cursed.
"Hunny…" Alicia began.
George looked over at Alicia. "If we don't find this orb, there is no telling how strong Voldemorts going to get."
Alicia looked down.
"Looking for death?" Growled a voice.
George's head shot over to the direction of the voice so fast, his neck cracked. He rubbed the back of his neck and stood up, facing a cloaked figure.
"Luscious Malfoy… so nice to see you out and about." George said, clenching his fists.
Luscious put down the hood of his cloak. "Well? I can help you find what you're looking for, if it's death."
"Too bad for you, it's not what we're looking for." George said, his voice strong.
"Pity… it's what you'll be receiving." Luscious said, laughing crookedly, his voice cracking.
George's eyes shifted around the ground. They landed on Alicia who was still searching, slowly and quietly behind them, looking up worried every so often. George winked at her and his eyes shifted around more. Where was that orb?
Luscious stepped forward. "Well Weasley… it seems that your time is up." He said, pulling out his wand.
George yanked out his wand quickly and pointed it at Luscious, not breaking eye contact with him. He narrowed his eyes. "I'm sorry, but I think that your watch is a bit fast."
Luscious growled. "Just hand over the orb."
George looked at Luscious. "What do you mean?"
"Don't play stupid with me!" Luscious snapped angrily. "We know you have it, it's exactly in this area… you two are trying to cover up having it. GIVE IT TO ME!" He yelled.
"We don't have it." George answered.
"Then I'll just have to kill you both. Hand it over and you don't get hurt." Luscious lied.
'I have to buy time…' George thought. He looked around the ground, somewhere he had to see a glimmer of silver. Somewhere, the orb had to catch his eye… 'Hurry Alicia, I don't know how much time I can give you.' He thought.
When you're a Weasley, things come naturally, and for George, pranks and stalling for time were some of his specialties. "You're right… you're right…" He said, hanging his head. "GOD DAMN IT!" He cursed to himself, angrily throwing up his hands.
Luscious smiled. "That's a good man… just hand it over."
"How can I assure my safety? And the other girls?" George said.
Luscious smiled. "You have my word."
"All right…" Groaned George. "Well, I'll take you to it, we put it over somewhere else. Right now we're searching for our keys… keep looking Miranda darling," George said over to Alicia. "I'll show this man to the orb."
Alicia stood up. "Why are you giving him it? We were searching so long and hard… I thought we hid it well. This is why you lost your stupid keys!" She said, staring straight into George's eyes, hers pleading for him to be careful.
"Well Miranda, our safety is worth way more than some stupid orb. Anyways, why do we need it?" George asked.
Luscious' face was glowing with excitement. "Yes, yes! Why do you need it? You don't… just give it to me."
"Well, be careful then." Alicia said, trying to make her voice sound airy. "Keys… keys…" She muttered.
George began to walk away, Luscious following. He led him down the cove, into the deepest parts, walking along the ledges. His back pressed against the stone as he slowly moved across a narrow ledge, and down a large rock.
"Couldn't we just Apparate there?" Luscious growled.
"I'm afraid the place we hid it would be untraceable for you." George answered. 'Buy Alicia time…' his mind told him over and over.
"Oh, oh… of course." Luscious agreed.
George stuck his hand in his pocket, rubbing his hand with his thumb and forefinger, thinking of what spell to use.
"How much farther?" Luscious asked.
"Oh… I'm afraid it's very far." George answered.
"Well hurry then." Growled Luscious.
George nodded. "Yes, I'll hurry up."

"Fred, we're never going to find this thing." Angelina said sighing. "It's impossible."
"Always have hope, Angel." Fred said, fishing through the lake.
"Why do you keep taking rocks out of that stupid lake?" Asked Angelina.
"In case its in the water." He answered.
Angelina nodded. "Okay, this is impossible!" She said, throwing her hands up in the air.
"Look, we need to get it, all right? It's really important." Fred answered.
"Fine." Angelina said, looking around more. "I just don't see the importance in it… a stupid little orb."
Fred laughed. "I know, I know… just have faith my Angel."
Angelina smiled. 'His Angel.'
……………………………..
"I'm getting fed up with following you, boy." Growled Luscious to George.
George smiled to himself. He turned around to face Luscious Malfoy. "Well it's all right, I mean, if you don't want to be here I don't have to take you…"
"NO. No, just hurry up." Luscious said, shifting his eyes.
"All right." George answered.
They kept walking and George thought about when he should complete his plan. He would turn around and shock Luscious into a stupor. Just far enough from Alicia because in case it didn't work, George knew that he would die. He didn't want Alicia in trouble too. 'Oh Merlin, I hope this works…' he thought to himself. He could imagine turning around, wand in hand, and nothing happening as his spell hit Luscious. Then he could imagine the man's cold eyes, and his voice yelling any killing curse that he knew.
'Damn dark magic,' he thought angrily. 'I hope Alicia's found the orb.' He thought. Then another thought his him. What if Alicia didn't know to leave? What if she stood there, waiting for his return? She could be in danger… there was no better time to fulfill this plan, then now.
George felt his wand again, sitting carefully in-between his index finger and his thumb, deep in his pocket. He took hold of it and gripped tightly, his palm sweating from nerves. Then he spun around, his wand out, and pointed it straight at Luscious Malfoy's heart. Without waiting for Luscious to complete his look of shock on his face, he yelled with all his might, the first incantation that came out of his mouth.
Luscious went as stiff as a board and fell backwards. The stunning spell. Not bad, but he'd be up soon. Now, where the hell was he? He began to retrace his steps, running as fast as possible.
"Where am I? Where am I?" He asked himself, looking around the mountainside. "I went down… so I need to go up." He said, looking up the side of the mountain. He sighed. "It's the only way."
…………………………….
After about ten minutes of climbing up the large rock mountainside, he found that he should have brought a broom. No way could he apparate out of the middle of no where like this… he didn't know if he'd appear right in a death eaters grasp… it was to dangerous. The only thing he could do, was climb.
His fingers were being eaten raw by the rock. They jabbed into his legs, sides, and hands. Blood was running from his palms, his legs were about to give out, but he couldn't give up. There was no way he could just give up climbing… he'd most certainly fall to his death.
He looked down.
"I shouldn't have done that…" He said, his voice high from nerves.
How tall was this shitty mountain?
From what seemed like hours, he finally managed to climb to the top, reaching high above his head and pulling his body up the rest of the way, lying on the dirt ground before him. He couldn't relax… what if Alicia had found the orb? What if she hadn't? He couldn't stop and catch his breath.
He began to run, his lungs burning. Why wasn't he there already? He looked around, searching the area. Then he heard a scream. A high-pitched scream that ended much too soon… A scream that belonged to Alicia Spinnet.
