"What is she doing?" Percy asked Lucy as he walked into his bedroom to see Audrey's legs hanging out from under the bed.
"She's looking for something." Lucy explained.
Audrey's legs wiggled as she went further under the bed. "I've almost got it." Audrey mumbled.
Percy sat next to Lucy on the bed and just rolled his eyes. "How long has she been looking?" He asked.
"A really long time, Molly got bored and left." Lucy explained.
Percy leaned over the side of the bed to see Audrey rummaging through a box. "Audrey, what are you looking for?" He asked.
Audrey jumped a bit, hitting her head on the bed. "Owe." She said rubbing her head. "I'm looking for my save-all box." She said.
Percy pulled out his wand. "Accio save-all box." He said.
Audrey watched as a box flew out from under the bed into Percy's hand. "I should have thought of that." She said. She crawled out from under the bed, and dusted herself off.
"Here you are." Percy said handing the box to Audrey with a smirk.
"Thank you dear, the smirk is duly noted." Audrey said taking it from him.
"What's in the box Mum?" Lucy asked.
Audrey smiled and sat next to her on the bed. "Not quite time for that yet." She said.
"More story?" Lucy asked. When Audrey nodded Lucy yelled for Molly who quickly ran in the room.
"What is it? What happened?" Molly asked.
"More story." Lucy said.
"Oh!" Molly said jumping onto the bed next to her dad. "We're all ears!" she added.
Audrey looked at her confused. "Are you sure? I only see two ears." She said wiggling Molly's ears.
"Mum." Molly scolded with a giggle as she pulled away from her. "You know what I mean." She said.
"Alright, alright." Audrey said.
The next morning Audrey woke up feeling warmth around her that she had only felt in her dreams. She squeezed her eyes shut, worried to open them and see that everything was a dream, and that she'd be alone again. She opened only one eye slowly only to see Percy staring at her. She opened both eyes and just stared back.
"Do you always do this when you wake up?" Percy asked.
Audrey smiled. "I was worried you weren't real." She said.
"I am." He said.
"Did you get sleep?" She asked.
"Enough." He replied.
"We should get back to the Burrow. Your family will need us." She said.
Percy nodded as he sat up. "What about everything here?" He asked.
"We'll deal with that later, I want to go back home." She said.
Percy nodded and got up, stretching. Audrey climbed out of bed and grabbed a few things, putting them into a bag.
"Ready?" Percy asked.
Audrey nodded before they both apparated to the Burrow. Audrey stood outside where they landed and just stared at the building, remembering all the times she'd spent there, and realizing how different it felt now. Percy grabbed her hand as the two walked to the door. Percy knocked twice before walking in, Audrey following behind.
"Percy, you're back." Molly said pulling him in for a hug. She noticed Audrey behind him, and started crying. "Oh Audrey! It's so good to see you." She said letting go of Percy and hugging Audrey.
Audrey's began to cry as she threw her arms around Mrs. Weasley. "I'm so sorry." She said.
"Thank you." Molly said, wiping away her tears as she let Audrey go. "We were so worried for you." She said.
Percy put his arm around Audrey as she also wiped her eyes. "Percy kept me safe." She said.
"I knew he wouldn't let anything bad happen to you." She said.
"Who's here?" George asked, walking in the room. He looked dirty and warn. Audrey had never seen him look so lost before.
"George." She said running over and hugging him.
George buried his head in her shoulder as he put his arms around her. "Audrey." Was all he could say through his tears.
She knew there was nothing she could say to make it better, so Audrey just kept her arms around George, letting him find even a moment of relief.
George pulled away after a few minutes, and took a deep breath. "I have something for you." He said.
Audrey didn't know what he could have for her, but she nodded and followed him. The two walked up to Fred and George's old room, where George had left his things. He rifled though a trunk for a few minutes before pulling out a piece of paper and handing it to her. "He wanted you to have this, but didn't know how to get it to you." George explained.
"What was it?" Lucy asked.
Audrey reached in her box, and pulled out a letter. She looked down at it for a moment before handing it to Lucy.
"A letter?" Molly asked.
Audrey nodded.
"What does it say?" Molly asked.
Lucy looked down at the letter, "Audrey, I wish I knew how to get this to you, but Percy, the pr-oh, I don't want to say that." She said beginning to read the letter.
"Maybe I should read it." Audrey said.
"There's something special about you, you crazy nutter, I knew it from the day I met you. I'd say I wish you were here, but I'm glad you're not. I like you being safe, it suits you. As disgusting as it seems to say, Percy suits you too. I know, 'how can that be,' you say. Well, I'm not the mushy type, but I see how much happier you are with him, and I can't complain with those results. I wish all of this would be over so you could come back, I miss you. When you come back…" Audrey stopped reading, unable to go on. She looked at George with tears in her eyes.
"I wish you could have gotten this before." He said.
"Thank you for giving it to me now." She said hugging him.
Lucy looked down at the letter. "Uncle Fred was really something." She said.
Audrey smiled. "He sure was." She said.
"Alright Lucy, time for bed." Percy said as he picked Molly, who had been sleeping on his lap. "You guys have had a long day." He added.
Lucy yawned as she got up, and walked towards their room. Audrey put her arm around Percy as they walked towards the girls' room. Percy laid Molly down, and covered her with the blanket. Audrey kissed Lucy's forehead and turned off the light.
