\\Blinding Love// (Fred Weasley Love Story) 10

"Elise! Fred!"

Fred and I were walking through the halls, heading to our dorms when Harry called to us.

"Hello." I greeted.

"You and you're friends are coming tonight right?"

I questionably looked at him and chuckled. "What are you talking about Harry?"

"Our little session." he said.

I stood there with my arms crossed, thinking ever so hard when it hit me. "Oh! Why didn't you tell me on the train?! I didn't know when you said RIGHT when we get back to school that it would be the next day!" I sighed. "When?" I asked.

"When dinner is over, in the Room of Requirement." I agreed as I parted ways with Fred to go to my dorm.

"You guys, it's tonight."

Cheryl and Danni stared at me. "Huh? What is?"

"That THING I mentioned to you about that you agreed to help me with." I whispered.

They also thought for a long time until they groaned. "Fiiiiine. When?"

"After dinner."

Dinner came and went awfully fast. I saw the Potter Posse and others from other houses start to get up and leave as did everyone else. Cheryl, Danni, and I all excused ourselves as Draco and his friends went to do their duty. We stalked all of the people who made their way into the mysterious room.

"Put on your hoods. We don't want anyone from our house to find out." We hurried to the door and opened it.

"STUPIFY!!" someone screamed as I waved my wand and countered the spell.

"Hey, stop shooting!" I heard Harry yell. My friends and I unveiled our hoods as we stood before the group of people.

"Who cast that?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. Seamus Finnegan raised his hand. "Now see? You mustn't be too quick, for in battle, a fatal mistake like that could cause the death of a beloved friend."

"It wasn't a harmful spell though." someone called out in the group.

"It doesn't matter. What if you used a dangerous defensive spell or a curse? You could have caused an accident." Cheryl spoke up, already getting aggravated.

"Now, I'm sure you all know us. I'll introduce ourselves anyways. I'm Elise and these are my helpers for this one time, Danni and Cheryl. I suppose Harry told you why I'm here. I'm here to help you all; they're here to help me help you all. Got it? Now, let's get down to work." I clapped with a smile.

"We're going to demonstrate a few curses that we know of and explain their causes and effects, along with a defensive spell to counter it."

"Wait," some kid from Hufflepuff blurted out. "How do we know we can trust you? You're other friends are in the Inquisitorial Squad."

"Yeah! And how do you know about the Dark Arts."

Cheryl and Danni's eyes were on me.

"First of all, my other friends don't know we're over here, that's why we have to hurry and show you all this stuff so WE don't get caught and don't get you all in trouble." I stepped forward towards the two boys who blurted out. "And secondly, if you are thinking I work for the Dark Lord Voldemort, don't, so unless you are here to question me continuously, I suggest you leave before I lose my temper and curse off your leg." I smiled sweetly.

Everyone in the class looked horrified or in shock, except for Harry and his friends who seemed like they were holding back smiles. The whole lesson went by fast, Cheryl and I each taught two spells that were severely dangerous and Danni taught the defensive. Everyone seemed to take in this information.

"Now, I guess the lesson is over, right?" I said looking at Harry. He nodded. "Well, I don't suggest you all practice these unless you want to memorize the spell." Everyone ushered out as quickly as possible.

"Wow, great firm teaching." Ron said. "I was scared when you cast that spell Immobula Stop."

"Yeah well, if you point it at someone's heart, that's also a fatal and quick way to kill someone." I smirked.

The few others left except Fred and I. "You could be a great teacher. You should go for the position for next year."

I laughed. "The job is cursed. No, I have a feeling Dumbledore already knows who is going to teach next year. Besides, next year I have no school."

Fred grabbed my hands. "Exactly, more time for us to be together."

I shook my head. "No, I'll be in training. For a little while anyways."

"Training? For what?"

"The battle. I took a glimpse in Voldemort's mind. He's going to have most of us in training, but I won't be training as long as the others. Only a couple of months, seeing as how I'm supposed to be a spy." I snickered. "And anyways, I've already planned out everything for the wedding. I just have to hire the people I know who can get the job done when the date arrives closer." I said gleefully.

"You really love decorating."

"Only because I know it's going to come out just as I want it." I giggled as he kissed my neck. "Oh Fred. I love you."

His eyes met mine and he winked. "I know, I love you too babe."

I snaked my arms around his waist and pushed him up against the mirrors, kissing him with intensity and passion. I started to snake my hands under his shirt when someone came in.

"I forgot my bag...oh, sorry." Hermione blushed as she exited the room.

I shook my head with a giggle as I picked up my stuff and exited the room with Fred walking with his arm around my shoulders.

"Hey! What are you guys do-Oh, it's you Ellie." I heard Adrian say when I was at the stairs with Fred.

"Sorry OFFICER, I'm going." I rolled my eyes as I pecked Fred on the lips.

"No, go take your time." he snickered.

"Shut up Adrian, you pervert. Bye Hun." I waved as Adrian chuckled and led me to the common room.

"Look who I found in the halls." Adrian smirked as we entered.

"Where on earth were you Ellie?" Montague smirked.

"None of your business." I crossed.

"Snogging her FIANCE like the sexy chick she is." Adrian cracked up as he plopped on the couch. I rolled my eyes.

"Please, like I never saw you snogging that girl...what was her name? Oh yeah, Trixie Paulver?"

"Hey! That was in third year!"

Blaise looked disgusted. "You made out with that Trixie girl?"

Draco's nose was wrinkled. "My God man, were you drunk?"

"Hey, she was hotter back then. I don't know what happened after that. It went from Swan back to Ugly Duckling."

"More like alien to blob monster." Danni whispered just loud enough so everyone around her could hear.

It was the weekend and my friends and I had promised to re-teach the group the spells we taught them when we saw Umbridge, Filch, and unfortunately the Inquisitorial Squad escorting out everyone.

"Damn! How'd they get caught?"

"You there! Come out from that corner." Umbridge yelled as I groaned.

"Ah, Miss Richards and her friends. I must suspect that you all were going to this meeting?"

"Meeting? What meeting?" I played dumb, and that made Umbridge fume.

"You three will be writing with all the others."

In the Great Hall, everyone sat in rows, writing. Groans and little whimpers of pain filled the room. All together, I think I had written at least five times this year. Even though I never really told anyone when I would get in trouble, she would tell me after class. Now, for the sixth time, my ugly scar burned on my left hand. When we all exited the hall, Fred and I left.

"That evil witch. Now my hand's all messed up AGAIN!" I fumed as we sat outside in the chill air. The snow was already beginning to melt; the coming of spring was arriving fast.

"How'd you get caught anyways?" I told Fred of my friends going to the room when Umbridge had already blasted in it.

"Well, George and I have a plan to get revenge back on her."

I giggled. "I can hardly wait."

Later that night in the common room, Cheryl, Danni, and I ignored all the boys.

"Oh come on! It's not our fault you guys just so happened to be there." Blaise explained.

"Well, you could have made up a lie and told Umbridge we were coming to find you all! Or something like that!" Cheryl screamed.

"Aw come on! You can't blame this on us." Adrian said incredulously.

"I know I can, and I am. I'll get over it later." I shrugged.

Then, an owl pecked at the window and it seemed to be carrying something, a letter. I got up from the couch and opened the window and grabbed the letter from the owl.

"It's for me. No one get all excited." I joked as they all stared at me. It was an envelope and inside was a silver ring with a ruby. The letter read:

Dear Elise,

After the ceremony, I thought, "How am I going to summon Elise when she is not marked?" So I have charmed this ring so when I call you, you'll know when to come. You must wear it to feel its effect.

I slipped on the ring onto my pointer finger on my left hand.

"Hey, what's that? Another gift from your boyfriend?" Danni joked.

"No, it's from...that person." I emphasized on person.

"Oh, let me read!" Cheryl said snatching the letter from me, quickly scanning the letter and grabbing my hand.

"Geez, you just keep getting tons of jewelry. I want to try it on." I rolled my eyes at her as I tried to slip the ring off.

"It's not coming off." I yanked until my finger cracked.

"What?" Cheryl said pulling it.

"I can't take it off? Typical, I'd have a mark of SOMETHING now wouldn't I?" I rolled my eyes as I sat back down on the couch.

In our room, I showed the final plans for my wedding to Cheryl and Danni.

"Oh Elise! It's going to be Spectacular! I can't wait." Cheryl cheered.

"Well, there's one more thing I haven't confirmed yet. I want you two to be my bridesmaids. And Danni, since I've known you the longest, I want you to be my Maid of Honor." Cheryl and Danni were brought to tears and both squeezed me like serpents in a death hug.

"Of course! We definitely have to go shopping for dresses now."

"Have you settled on a date?" I was asked.

"Well, I haven't told Fred yet but, I decided right when school is over. At least two weeks afterwards."

"Wow, so soon?"

"Oh who cares?! I'm the Maid of Honor! In your face!" Danni yipped as she laughed uncontrollably.

It was probably the middle of the night when my finger started burning. I woke up with a gasp as the intensity made me grab my hand. Danni and Cheryl were awake too, putting on their robes.

"Why are you up?"

They had solemn faces. "We got a call." Cheryl said as she tied her robe and I grabbed mine.

"I think I have to go to. The ring just started burning." Danni was wide eyed.

"I guess that's you're signal." I went downstairs. The boys were by the fireplace.

"Floo powder, here take some." Blaise said, passing around a small flower pot. Everyone shouted the Destination, Draco's house.

When I walked out of the fireplace, I found myself in the Dining Hall with Voldy sitting at the head of the table.

"Welcome, I hate to have to wake you all in the middle of the night but, there is some news for you all." We all took a seat as Voldy began to explain.

"Montague, Adrian, Cheryl, Danni, and Elise." he smiled to me. I just nodded to him.

"You all will be graduating earlier than you all thought. You all better start packing because the day after your tests, you won't be in Hogwarts anymore."

"How did you manage that, my Lord?" Adrian asked intrigued.

"I have my ways of pulling strings to benefit me and of course my new followers. When you all leave school, you will all be reporting here for training."

"I knew it!"

"Training? What for Voldy-I mean, my Lord Voldemort?" Danni caught herself. She smiled meekly.

"Training for the war my dear. I still plan to end this and I will. Of course, Elise won't be with us for so long. A month or two I suspect, seeing as how she has her own mission to uphold."

Everyone stared at me, wearily.

"Now, all of you are dismissed except Draco, Theo, and Blaise. You all must be rested for those exams."

The rest of us floo powdered back. Just as I was going to walk up the stairs, I was stopped.

"You better be careful Elise with what you're doing here."

"I know Adrian."

"He could start to suspect something if you don't give him some true details. You'd have to keep in touch frequently."

"I know Adrian! Just please, leave me be. I have everything planned ahead. He'll never suspect a thing."

The next day, I was taking my O. when a loud banging was heard from outside the Grand Hall door. Umbridge stepped down from what used to be Dumbledore's seat except, he was gone now. Umbridge walked down through the rows as she opened the doors and looked through the halls. The next thing I know, sparks are flying, literally in the air. A whoosh of wind stirred up everyone's papers as more fireworks went up into the air. A mini fireworks show displayed before my eyes, showing a heart with an arrow in it with the initials F.W. I saw Fred hovering above me throwing more fireworks and other jokes of his and George's.

"Watch out everyone." they yelled as they dropped the big bomb.

A huge firework dragon formed and chased Umbridge all the way out of the Great Hall. Fred and George flew out of the school and everyone followed as they left their trade mark in the sky as they flew off.

"That retard, quitting school before graduating. I love him though."

"Ah, so that's how he was getting Umbridge back." Caim said appearing out of nowhere. I stared down at him in cat form.

"Where have you been mister?"

"Teaching that nosey Mrs. Norris a lesson or two."he snickered.

The next day I was packed, as were my friends, except Draco and Blaise.

"Well, be good in school you two." I said hugging them goodbye.

"Yeah, try to." Blaise frowned.

"Well, you guys, I'm moving my wedding date so I'll let you guys know when." Dotty then appeared in the room.

"Dotty goes wherever mistress goes." I smiled down at Dotty as I nodded. "Alright then."

We all walked off the school grounds until we were out of the barrier.

"So, we'll see you tonight right?" Danni asked.

"Yeah. I'll be there." I then grabbed Dotty's hand and apparated to my new home.

When I walked in, it was silent, except from a noise from the kitchen. I walked in there to find everyone at the table eating lunch.

"Hi guys." I greeted when I walked in.

"Ellie? What are you doing here? You quit school too?" George joked. Fred got up and hugged me.

"No, I'm smarter than that and besides, I graduated early, thanks to his royal evilness." I rolled my eyes.

"What do you mean?" Lupin asked as he peered at me from over the Daily Prophet.

"I mean that, I won't be staying here long. Only until later tonight actually. I have to leave for training." I rolled my eyes.

Everyone gave me questionable looks as I explained.

"Voldemort is making the new followers train for the next year. Except me, I'm only staying for a month or two because I'm supposed to be 'spying' on you all."

"Well this is bad then. Having young teenagers trained for this violent nonsense." Mr. Weasley sighed. He was fully healed now and looked at his best I supposed.

"Well, at least you didn't quit school." Mrs. Weasley eyed Fred and George as she set down Tonks a sandwich and patted me on the back. I winked at the twins as I sat down.

Fred grabbed my left hand and rubbed the top of it with his thumb when he ran across my new ring. "What's that?" he asked. I stared down at the ring.

"Oh yeah, this is how I'm marked without being marked. This ring will burn my finger when I'm being summoned by him. It was given to me so I would know when to go to him when there was something important. It was to help me hide the truth from you people." I boredly said.

"You're taking a huge risk here, with your wedding as well. By the way, congratulations but, how will you get away for a whole day?" Tonks asked.

"Well, I have a date, but it wouldn't be until after I come back. Whenever I come back really. It's not a problem." I shook my head.

Later that night, after everyone had wished me luck and farewell, Fred and I stood out in the backyard. "I don't want to go and I wish I didn't have to but, I have no choice." I said frustrated.

"Don't worry, we'll be together again soon." he said kissing me softly on my plush lips.

He and I stayed like that for a long time, making the most of it while we could.

"I love you." I told him genuinely as I took a step back from him.

"I love you too." he smiled.

"Oh! By the way, take care of Dotty for me. I told her to listen to you while I was gone." He stared at me as I disappeared before his eyes. I wound up in Draco's yard. I rolled my eyes at the white peacocks that were there.

"Silly Lucious and his stupid birds." I rang the bell and Narcissa answered.

"Oh Ellie my dear! Great to see you my lovely child. Come, come! Everyone else is already here. Now, down to the basement. Oh! I'll get my house elves to take that up to the room. Go on. The Dark Lord has been waiting for you."

I made my way downstairs and into the basement which had been made into a dueling arena and workout area. Everyone was in black training outfits.

"Elise!" Cheryl hugged as she greeted me and shoved the same outfit into my hands.

"Danni's in the bathroom changing too. He's been waiting so hurry. He means business." she whispered as I walked off. I found Danni in mid pull up as she finished putting on her outfit.

"Elise!" she hugged me. "He really does mean business. I was the second to last here and he wants us all to train until we all pass his expectations." she frowned.

I frowned as well as I put on the same outfit. Black shorts with a black tank top. It was my new favorite outfit actually, seeing as how it was all black. Danni and I hurried over to a spot in the line that had formed while we were getting dressed.

Voldemort stood in front of us all.

"Now, you all will be dueling each other while the Death Eaters and I are gone for tonight." I know most of us wanted to glance at each other but we held the urge to. It was just a natural thing for us.

"By the time we come back, we plan to see it all over again." he said dismissing himself and leaving up the stairs. We all exhaled as I plopped down to the floor.

"There's something up, something's going to happen at the Ministry. I could see it."

Adrian kneeled down to my level. "You shouldn't be poking at his mind. What if he can sense you in there?" I thought about it. He was right but, I didn't mean to do it, my power sort of activated itself.

"Well, let's stop talking about the depressing things. Let's duel!" Cheryl cried as she jumped onto the arena. Montague jumped up as well.

"Anyone up for a bet?" Adrian chirped as him and Danni bet money. I just sat there and watched.

After a long while of dueling each other, I was filled in on the news of Draco and the others.

"Yeah, Crabbe and Goyle got marked too. They're going to be our body guards I guess you could say." Adrian shrugged as he took a drink from a water bottle.

I wasn't really listening. I had seen the thoughts of the Dark Lord and knew what he was planning to do. Who would be at the ministry? Could it possibly Harry and his friends? Harry is the only reason Voldemort would go personally as well. Would Fred be dragged over there too to help out everyone? What if someone killed him? I started to breathe irregularly as I grasped the area where my chest was.

"Ellie? Are you alright?" Danni asked as she touched me. I was shaking and I couldn't hear anything.

"Elise! Snap out of it! Guys help me! I think she's having an anxiety attack." The next thing I knew I was surrounded by darkness.

A vision played before my eyes. The same vision that played in my mind continuously. I lay in the grass, bleeding to death as I stagger to get up. I find myself in the hallways of a building that sort of resembled Hogwarts as I see Fred fighting with someone. The next thing I know, I have my wand pointed at Fred and he runs behind me and drops dead to the floor. I fall unconscious after seeing the deathly scene of our bodies motionless on the floor.
