\\Blinding Love// (Fred Weasley Love Story) 20

"No...this isn't happening." I cried into Fred's chest. Everyone was in the room, looking at me with sorrowful eyes.

"You don't know what he's going to do though. Maybe he's just checking on you. Maybe he's just going to test you on your allegiance." Hermione tried to come up with explanations.

The burning on my finger was unbearable and the only way to stop that was to go immediately to him. I pulled myself away from Fred and walked away from everyone. I took out my wand and pointed it at the group. All of them were wide eyed.

"Elise-"

"No, I'm going. None of you can stop me. I don't care what happens right now but, if I don't show up, I'm as good as dead anyways." Before anyone could say anything else, I had apparated.

I found myself in the ever so familiar office of the basement of Draco's house. There, sitting in his throne looking chair was my master, my lord Voldemort. I bowed to him as I stood in front of his desk. He was staring at me with a sickly smile. I struggled to keep a cool composure and a straight face. I could feel my hands quivering behind my back.

"Elise, how are you my dear girl?"

I cleared my throat, afraid that it too would be shaky. "I'm fine my lord."

"Any news you would like to inform me of? Anything exciting happening lately with the Order?"

I looked straight into his eyes, freaking out in the inside. "Nothing exciting my lord. The same old procedures as usual. Trying to figure out what they're up to my lord."

He folded his fingers underneath his chin. "Really? That's not what I've seen." I felt an itching on my head. Then it started to burn.

"Are you alright my dear? Care to take a seat?" he appointed me to a chair. I eagerly sat down in one and clutched my head. I then gasped when I saw the image of Fred and me with a baby.

"You can't hide things from me Elise." he had gotten up from his chair and knelt down beside me.

"You see, ever since I appointed you to wear that ring," he touched my finger.

"I've been able to see everything from inside your mind. I thought you were smarter than this. I half expected you to cut off your own finger. Haven't you noticed your powers depleting?" I looked up and glared at him; tears streaming down my face.

"Now now, don't give me that look. I had to keep an eye on you didn't I? Especially since I've known about you and that Weasley boy."

I cleared my throat, still glaring at Voldemort as I wiped my face with the back of my hand. "So, what do you plan on doing to me? Kill my child? Take it from me? Or kill two birds with one stone?"

He laughed. "No my dear girl. I've planned this from the very beginning. You see, I knew all along you would marry that boy. I've always known you had a fancy for that kid. Even Lucious knew that the way you acted around them was...different."

"So get to the point. What do you plan to do?"

He sighed as he placed a cold slim hand on my shoulder. "Oh it would be a waste to kill you or your child. You two are very powerful and still useful to me. No, what I have in mind is much more horrible."

I cringed back in my seat as he let me in on his conniving plan.

Later that night...

When I arrived back at Grimmauld Place, I was greeted with waiting eyes. I stared at everyone as if nothing had happened.

"What?"

Fred was the first one up and grasped me gently. "What happened?"

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Huh?"

"With Voldemort? What happened?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, that. Nothing actually. He just wanted me to give him an update." I shrugged as if it were nothing. "I don't know why I overreacted." I chuckled.

Everyone glanced at each other and stared at me with questioning eyes.

"Everything's fine. Don't worry about me. I am tired though. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to not flinch when you feel this baby kicking." I smiled as I rubbed my stomach. "Well, time for bed. Good night everyone."

Before anyone could say anything else, I just apparated into my room and walked to the shower and turned it on. I heard another small pop and I knew that was Fred, following me.

"Elise, are you sure you're alright? This is the longest time you've ever been over there." I opened the bathroom door a crack.

"Fred, can we not talk about this? I told you that everything was fine. He wanted me to stay for dinner and I only agreed if I could see my friends also. So, I stayed because he agreed. Look, Hun, I'm really tired. I just want to shower and get to bed." I looked at him with sorrowful eyes.

He sighed. "I'm sorry; I just worry about you every time you go over there. Especially ever since our baby happened."

I smiled. "I know. I'm fine, really." I blew him a kiss as I closed and locked the door, also putting spells on it to hide my real emotions.

I sat in the tub; water filled as high as it could go, weeping as I held my stomach. I cried and cried. How can one person be so cruel? Was he even human? I didn't think so. Only a monster could think up of a plan such as that. Everyone would be involved....what a disaster this would be. I knew my baby would be alright, I just didn't know if I would ever be forgiven for doing such a thing. *sigh* Why must everything in my life be full of complications, sorrow, and pain?
