A Mother's Undying Love

It was after 11p.m. and Rose was missing. Hermione was floo-calling other family members to ask if they had seen her. She started panicking by the time she heard 'no' for the third time. All of the Weasley family came to support Hermione and Ron and help search for Rose. The family members that knew Hermione and Rose got into an argument earlier that evening were trying to console her.

A million and one things were running through Hermione's mind. The negative side was overpowering the positive side in her mind. A thought suddenly struck her, one she didn't think of in the first place. The people that were hugging her were startled when she bolted to the fire place. Hermione threw the powder into the fire and announced Kianna's address. There was no one sitting in the living room so Hermione starting calling out 'hello'. She was relieved to see that it was Kianna coming to see who was calling out from the fire place.

"Kianna, my daughter is missing. Is she with you?"

"No, Mrs. Weasley, she's not. I'm coming over to help look, let me get dressed."

"Okay, thank you Kianna."

Hermione took her head out of the fire place to grab some more powder. As she threw the powder in again, she called out Mimi's address this time. She caught Mimi's mother just as she was heading to the kitchen for a midnight snack.

"Could I please have a moment with Mimi, Cho? It's urgent"

"I'll go wake her."

"Thank you."

Mimi rushed down the stairs with sleep still evident in her eyes.

"Hi, Mimi. I'm sorry to wake you up at such an hour but my daughter is currently missing. I was wondering if you had seen her?"

All the sleep was gone from her eyes in an instant. "No, I haven't. Give me 10 minutes and I'll help look."

"That would be very helpful, thank you."

A couple houses down the street, a lonely girl was sitting on the second floor of a house that had been secluded for over 40 years. She was sitting in the nursery, the very spot where Lily Potter had sacrificed her life for her son. Rose read once that magic leaves traces behind. She stumbled across her uncle's parent's house when she was 15. She was walking by when the house suddenly appeared. She read the inscription that was in front of the house. After that she asked her uncle what happened. He told her about how his parent's were murdered and how his mother had made the ultimate sacrifice which saved him from the killing curse.

After that, Rose decided to try an experiment. In the wizarding world, love was considered magic. Since magic left traces behind, Rose stood in the spot where Lily stood when she was murdered. The rush of love that Rose felt made her wonder if that's how it felt to take your first breath as a baby. Her chest swelled with something she couldn't describe. It was mesmerizing. After her experiment, she returned every now and then just to feel the love of Harry's mother. The way she was feeling right now, all the love in the world couldn't stop her tears from falling. All the hateful things she said to her mom and aunt. Even though it hurt them, it hurt her as well. She was sitting on the floor, rocking back and forth, crying. She kept wondering how things managed to get so bad over the years.

Kianna and Mimi arrived one after the other. Mimi told Hermione her and Kianna would search alone. It was better if they all split up, so they could find Rose faster. Hermione agreed and put everyone into teams. Mimi grabbed Kianna's arm and led her out into the street. She found an empty spot behind one of the houses and stopped.

"What are we doing here?" Kianna asked.

Mimi didn't answer as she took off her friendship bracelet and tapped it with her wand. The friendship bracelet rose in the air and started twirling slowly.

"Whoa." Kianna exclaimed.

An arrow pointed straight at Kianna and another arrow pointed in a different direction. The bracelet glowed orange and yellow. The orange half glowed brighter than the yellow. Mimi grabbed the floating bracelet and started walking in the direction the yellow half had pointed.

"What did you do?"

"Shh. I'll explain once we find Rose. I figured she was still in the neighborhood somewhere. Once we get closer to her, the yellow half will glow bright like yours."

After a couple minutes of walking, Mimi tapped the bracelet again. The arrow pointed slightly to the left but still straight. She kept following the direction. Another couple minutes passed when the yellow half shined the same as the orange half. Mimi looked up and saw that they were standing in front of a house that looked abandoned. She tapped her wand on the bracelet to make it stop glowing and slipped it on her wrist again.

She hurried inside the house and searched the bottom floor quickly. When there was no sign of Rose, she started walking up to the second floor. When she reached the top of the stairs, she heard soft sobbing. She ran down the hall and found Rose sitting on the floor, crying. She threw her arms around Rose and hugged her tightly.

"Mimi! Kianna! How did you guys find me?"

Kianna crossed her arms and replied, "Yeah Mimi, how did we find her?"

"After you told us you got raped, I searched for a spell that would help us locate each other if something bad were to happen. I put the spell on our friendship bracelets. It only has a three mile radius though but I figured you hadn't gone far. You're not 17 yet, so there's still a magic trace on you. If you had used magic, the Ministry of Magic could have traced your whereabouts. It wasn't hard to put two and two together."

"That's what you consider two and two?" Kianna asked in astonishment.

"Well, yeah." Mimi answered sheepishly.

"I'm happy it was you two that found me." Rose said.

"So, what happened? Something bad must have happened that made you leave your house."

"I got into an argument with my mom and aunt. I wanted to get away and clear my head."

"Why here though?" Kianna asked while looking around with disgust.

"I can show you better than I tell you." Rose replied while standing up.

"Huh?" both her friends said at the same time in confusion.

Rose grabbed Mimi's shoulders and made her stand where she stood a second ago.

"Oh wow! What is that?"

"It's a mother's undying love."

Kianna bumped Mimi over with her shoulder. "Holy shit! That's awesome."

Rose recounted the story of what happened here over 40 years ago. When she was finished, both of her friends had their mouths open in shock. After she was finished telling the story of what happened, she explained how she discovered the 'undying love' part. "I come here every so often to feel love that I don't feel at home. The love that I feel here is what I wish to feel at home. When things get to be too much, I come here and just sit in that spot."

"The argument must have been really bad to make you want to come here." Mimi observed.

"It was." Rose lowered her head.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Kianna asked.

"I feel like… ever since I was raped, a monster was born inside of me. A sleeping monster that was just waiting for the right moment to awaken. All of the emotions that I've been swallowing since I was 14 slowly formed a monster that I don't recognize. The girl that argued with my mom and aunt wasn't me, it was the monster. Whenever I hide inside of my own mind, the monster takes over. It's sort of like it's protecting the vulnerable side of me. After tonight though, it went too far. I saw it all happen like I was watching a movie. I saw how much it hurt my mom and aunt. I came here hoping to ease my pain and heartache. This little spot in all this destruction gives me hope that through every disaster, there's always a little bit of love. If not for this spot, I would have lost all hope when my family turned their back on me when I was raped. All the love in the world can't make me feel better right now though. I just don't understand how my family doesn't believe me. Isn't family supposed to have your back no matter what? I feel like I don't even have a family anymore. I don't want to feel that way though. I don't even know how to feel right now. Am I right to feel this way?" Both friends saw the desperate look in Rose's eyes.

"Oh sweetie… I wish I could take all your pain away. The only way for me to do that though would be to kill you. It's normal for you to feel everything your feeling right now. Your beliefs about family are right. They are supposed to support you no matter what. When we were children, pain was easy for them to heal. They would just kiss it, or put a bandaid on it, or take you to the hospital. As we grow older, though, the pain changes. It's not so physical anymore, it's mostly emotional now. Some parent's are lucky to know how to console emotional pain, but others aren't. Then there are those few who want their children to stay just that their whole life, children. They don't want you to grow up. I don't know which category your parent's fall under. It's not for me to judge. Just know that Kianna and I are always going to be for you, through everything. If you can't feel the love from your family or from this spot, then feel the love from us, your best friends."

Rose started crying harder at this sentiment. Both friends embraced her in their arms, crying with her. They could feel her pain. At this moment, all three friends were one; one entity feeling the pain and heartache of one hurting human being.

"If I… didn't have… you two… I probably wouldn't… even be… breathing right now… I probably… would have… committed suicide." Rose said between sobs.

"Shh. It's okay. We're here now. Just let it all out." Kianna consoled while rubbing Rose's back.

They stood there for a good 20 minutes before Mimi suggested they head back to Rose's house.

Rose nodded. "When we get back to the house, can you stay by my side? I don't want any of my family hugging me, I just want to go to my room."

"Yes, that's fine." Mimi answered.

Mimi had her arm around Rose's waist and Kianna had her arm around her shoulders.

When they got back to Rose's house, Hermione stood immediately and tried to hug her daughter. Rose had her face down, she didn't see Kianna and Mimi shake their heads 'no.' Hermione's shoulders slumped but she understood the gesture. She sat back down and started crying quietly again. Kianna and Mimi led Rose up to her room. When they laid her down on the bed, they both laid on each side of her.

The next day they all boarded the train back to school. Rose was still not on speaking terms with her family. Mimi and Kianna suggested the family just give Rose her space for now, they all agreed.

quick author's note: the idea of Lily's love came from Dumbledore in book 6 of Harry Potter. he said magic leaves traces behind. in book 4, Voldemort called 'love' old magic. hope you liked this chapter :)

Next time on His Gryffindor Minx: it's every witch and wizard's favorite holiday... HALLOWEEN! the one time of year they can show off their magic with their costumes. can you guess what Rose is going to dress up as?
