Chapter 3 Call Of Duty
It was another slow day at the shop. Jasmine had the daunting task of doing inventory. (A/N: I've had to do inventory before, believe me, it sucks!). "How is it I got stuck with doing this?" She yelled to the twins.
"Because you're the smartest out of all of us!" George yelled.
"Flattery will only get you so far,"
"It got you to do the inventory!" She leaned her head against the shelf, how did they always do that? There was a click at the window, a white owl was holding a parcel for them. "Hey, Hedwig," She said happily. Then her heart dropped, the only time Harry mailed them lately was to say there was a battle. She took the letter and gave Hedwig an owl treat. The handwriting was scribbled and it read: Guys, battle going down in ten minutes. Be at the Baker Field as soon as possible, Harry. "Boys, battle time!" She yelled. Fred moaned and yelled. "Ah, fuck, I was enjoying not being killed.,"
"Come on, we gotta go to Baker Field," They nodded and grabbed their wands. They apparated to the field, everybody was already there. Harry came up to them a minute later. "Draco found out that the Death Eater's planned to kill all the Muggles living here for fun. We distracted them with a fake contest. They're all gone, but the Death Eater's don't know that," They nodded. Fred wrapped his arms around her. "I hope this is the last time," She leaned up against him and said. "I don't like it either, it has to be done, though," He kissed her and she sighed, hoping this was the last time.
"Alright guys, they'll be here soon. Get ready!" Harry called. Jasmine held Fred's hand as they stood behind Harry. There were loud cracks all around, the Death Eaters were here.
"Why's everything so quiet? Where are all the Muggles?" One of them asked.
"You're not killing anyone today," Harry called.
"Potter, what are you doing here? Don't you ever die?" One yelled.
"I'm here to stop you," The Death eater's stood in a group across from Harry's.
"Get ready to die, Potter," One said and threw the killing curse at him. He ducked and stunned the Death Eater. The air was soon filled with curses flying in all directions. Jasmine ducked as a curse flew over her head. Dust was flying, making everyone's vision blurred.
"Someone, help!" She heard Ron yell. Ron had tow Death Eaters ready to kill him. Jasmine shot a killing curse at one, Ron stunned the other. "Thanks, Jazz," She nodded. The battle waged for another hour, Harry's side was definitely winning.
"Retreat!" The Death Eaters yelled. There were loud cracks and the Death Eaters were gone. Everybody cheered, they'd won this battle. They'd lost only two people , Jasmine hadn't known either of them. Harry hi-fived everyone and said. "I wanted to thank all you guys for coming and giving it your all. We did an awesome job!" Jasmine smiled and started looking for Fred. She lost him in the dust storm during the battle. She saw George bandaging his arm. "You alright, Georgy?"
"Yeah, a curse hit my arm, but I'm alright,"
"Have you seen Fred?"
"No, I thought he was with you," Jasmine frantically looked around for Fred. She went up to Hermione and asked if she'd seen him. "No, not since we started. Here, I'll help you look for him," They ran around the field, calling out Fred's name. They'd been looking for ten minutes, with no success. Jasmine was starting to get frantic "Oh, God, where is he?" She said holding back tears.
"Easy, Jazz, we'll find him. Don't worry, he's probably just playing a prank," She began to bite her nails and getting more anxious. Another ten minutes, still no Fred. They'd looked everywhere, where was he! Jasmine started to sob, this wasn't happening. They went back to the group and asked if anyone had seen him. No one had since the beginning of the battle. Tears streamed down her face and George embraced her. She knew this was hard for him too.
"Jazz, George, I think you guys should go home. We'll keep searching for Fred. I think you'll feel better if you're away from here. Get something to eat, some sleep, we'll contact you if we find anything," Hermione said. They both slowly nodded and apparated home. They were both silent, lost in their own thoughts.
"Do you want something to eat?" Jasmine asked. George shook his head. "I'm not hungry,"
"Here, drink this, then. It'll calm you down," She said and handed him a glass of wine.
"Thanks," They sat together on the couch, still not saying anything. They eventually went to their separate rooms, not knowing what else to do. There was a loud crack, and Draco appeared in her room. She looked up, his face was grim.
"Jazz, we can't find Fred,"She sighed, this was the last thing she'd wanted to hear. Draco put an arm around her. "We'll find him, don't worry,"
"It's easy for you to say that, Fred means nothing to you!"
"But means everything to you. We're doing everything we can to find him," She muttered a thanks, avoiding his eyes. Draco sighed. "Baby, relax. We'll find him," Jasmine finally broke down and cried. Draco held her in his arms. "Easy, baby, calm down," In between sobs she said. "We're never gonna find him. He probably died, and I didn't even get to say goodbye,"
"He's not dead, we'll find him. Please, baby, stop crying. You know I hate seeing you cry," Jasmine pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and stopped.
"I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from,"
"It's alright, you're going through something very difficult. I'm gonna go back and see if there's been any word on him," Jasmine nodded and Draco kissed her cheek and apparated away. Jasmine fiddled with the bed sheets, willing time to go faster. She smiled as she remembered her and Fred fighting over the color of the sheets. She wanted red, he'd wanted light blue. He'd won and Jasmine had been so mad at him. Draco apparated back, jolting Jasmine from her thoughts.
"Jasmine, there's something you should see," He said with a grim face. Jasmine's eyed brimmed with tears, but she shook them away. She nodded and Draco apparated away.
A/N: Whew, Chapter 3 is done! Chapter 4 is currently in progress. Unfortunately, I'm having more problems with this one than with A Whole New World. Three might actually be pauses between chapters! -gasp- For some reason all my ideas are going into my gay story (which never sees human eyes!) I just can't think of anything for this one. Well, I'll think of something, Chapter 4 will be done soon!
