A/N: This chapter took me forever to write because I acquired writer's block for a while but I hope you all liked it because i'm rather proud of this. Loose ends are meant to be here because it's not supposed to all make sense just yet, and have faith all! More reviews are appreciated and i'm super happy to see that I got some alerts and two reviews on the last chapter! :D You're all amazing and I love you. P.S I know it's short, but it doesn't really need to be long, does it? QUESTION: If I made a story about the Dramione in this one, would you all read it?
Disclaimer: If Harry Potter was mine, Belinda would exist and Dramione would be cannon. That is all.
Belinda's eyes were still widened in shock as chaos erupted all around her. What the hell was going on?! She blinked around in confusion, distinctly remembering Hermione tell her about how Molly Weasley had murdered Bellatrix Lestrange, well, basically blew her up, after she threatened to hurt Ginny. She looked over at Hermione who looked pale and slightly nauseous. The pale effect soon tinged green, and then the most peculiar expression was on her face. She leapt up as Angelina and George stood frozen in place, Angelina still in the midst of saying her vows to George. She looked unable to continue as ministry officials apparated immediately and started firing off orders that sent the aurors amongst the Weasley & co families in mayhem.
"Ron! Get your ass off of that chair and get a move on!" Belinda heard Harry roar and the familiar head of red hair leapt up and rushed to Harry's side. Kingsley was amongst the confusion and just as he looked about ready to organise the rest of the auror's there was a cackle of laughter and they all whipped around to see Lucius Malfoy tapping his delicate, pale fingers against one another with a smirk on his face. Flanking him were Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange, also looking very amused with the scene before them.
Over and over in her head, Belinda chanted, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?! WHY IS LUCIUS HERE, HOW THE HELL IS BELLATRIX ALIVE?! Belinda felt Sam's hand tighten so hard on hers she had to bite her lip to stop from whimpering and silence descended on the group. Lucius then lifted his wand and cried, "Avada Kedavra!" But the auror's were not fools. Years of getting up at 5am and doing laps, building up their bodies and practising all day to the point that they almost died in TRAINING meant they would not be so easily wounded. Everyone had already rolled out the way of the firing line and spells were being fired everywhere as more of Bellatrix's minions appeared on the scene. Quickly, masks hid them from Belinda's view and she was reminded of the war.
There masks were identical to Death Eater's.
Belinda looked behind her as Hermione suddenly dashed straight for the house, that strange look still on her face. Belinda gasped as Sam suddenly crumbled in front of her where he was standing protectively and he collapsed on top of her. "Sam, get the fuck off," Belinda growled as she struggled, but he was out cold. Shoving him off she leapt up and pulled her wand out to aim at one of the Death Eater look alikes. "Incendio!" She cast, fire licking at their body as the Death Eater she attacked was distracted by shooting spells at Ginny.
Ginny grinned gratefully at her, though there was a haunted look in her eye as she then cast a quick stupefy, knocking her opponent out. She rushied over and yanked off his mask, a growl leaving her as she saw Lucius below her. She lifted her foot and crunched it down on his nose. "Incendio!" Belinda cried again and Ginny jumped back from the fire in shock.
"Bel-"
"He is the reason my parent's are dead." Belinda growled before she felt a sharp pain in her side. A jet of red light had just clipped her side and she winced as she stumbled backwards a few steps. Ginny leapt towards her and grabbed her, holding her up as they spun around to try and avoid getting hit by spells. "You okay?" Ginny hissed and once Belinda nodded she released her.
Almost immediately, Belinda was weaving through the crowd, desperately trying to find her little siblings. "Jamie?! Toby?!" She cried out in terror, fearing for their lives. She saw the two crouched under a table and ran straight for them as the same time a masked person did. "Incaraceous!" She hissed but Bella's minion easily flicked the ropes away and sneered at her as he grabbed Jamie and lifted her by her ankle, stabbing his wand to her throat.
Belinda suddenly understood what had drived Molly Weasley to such protective measures as to kill Bellatrix after she threatened Ginny. She knew she could do anything in that moment as long as it meant Jamie was safe. Her vision tinted red and she felt an inner evil that everyone had locked away inside of them emerge, a smirk on her face as she twirled her wand casually in her fingers. Jamie whimpered and sniffled, struggling against the grip that held her. "I'll give you one chance to put her down, just one," she stated in a sugar-sweet tone.
He merely chortled with laughter and swung Jamie back and forth. "AVADA KEDAVRA!" The words took him off guard and before he could even move a muscle against her the green had touched to him and he fell backwards. Belinda levitated Jamie in the air and took her sister into her arms, hugging the sobbing girl tightly to her as she quickly grabbed Toby's hand and tugged him through the crowd. She ran straight for the Burrow and dropped both Toby's hand and Jamie inside the doorway. "Stay here, please don't leave, you have to find somewhere to hide and don't make a sound if someone comes in here. Please, please, please," she felt tears well up in her eyes as her little munchkins nodded their heads and she slammed the door shut, unaware of the fact that she'd locked her baby siblings in the house with a murderer.
Belinda ran straight towards a group trying to overpower Harry and Ron, quickly casting stunning spells and body-locking spells at the turned backs. Her spells aided in stopping the group but not before each of them had received serious blows. Harry clutched his head where blood poured from a wound and Ron's arm was twisted at an odd angle. "Thanks!" Harry and Ron cried before moving on to help Ginny who was looking terrified as a man advanced on her, her wand laying on the ground.
"Fuck off!" Ginny snarled, but her eyes clearly conveyed her fear. Harry swiftly caused the man to hang upside down in the air and he rushed to Ginny's side as Ron picked up her wand.
"Avada Kedavra!" The words hung in the air as Belinda watched in utter horror. Ron fell to his knees and then slumped on the ground, causing even more mayhem. A roar of pure outrage left Molly Weasley and she charged straight at the caster of the spell, who quickly vanished her mask and cackled.
"Ickle Molly Polly wants to have another go!" Bellatrix cooed, dancing past Molly's spells as she cast a simple shielding charm which was quickly destroyed by an outraged Molly Weasley. Arthur's face was pale in shock and the fighting ceased as they all looked to Molly and Bella. Through the crowd moved another figure and as the two fought, eyes flickered between the masked person and the battle going on.
"Crucio!" The voice was horrifyingly familiar as the mask fell away from the brunette's face and revealed a smirk. Molly cried out in agony as she collapsed on the ground, writhing and turning. People moved forwards to help her but froze as they saw the attackers face. None of them expected her of all people to betray them, not in a million years. Clutched in the girl's grasp was Alicia Spinnet's un-conscious body, her wand in her left hand and the girl being dragged in her right.
"Hermione," Draco's voice was soft as a whisper as he looked towards his fiancée with an expression that broke everyone's hearts. No one dared move a muscle as Draco stepped towards her, even Bellatrix was still though an evil glint was in her eyes. "Hermione, no," Draco's voice croaked as he tried not to let his shock show, but failed miserably.
Hermione Granger snorted with laughter and smirked at Draco, dropping Alicia's body carelessly as she stalked towards him. Her arms hooked around his neck and he looked confused as he slowly lifted his arms to push her away. "Now now, Draco, did you really think I would actually fall in love with you? You're a waste of space you stupid ferret, after all you put me through how could I ever turn to you?!" She leant in close and whispered something in his ear that made a horrible noise that was almost like a sob escape Draco as his knee's buckled and he fell to the ground.
"Mudblood, that's all I am to you aren't I, Malfoy?" She spat at him but he did not move.
"Hermione, please I-" He looked up at her, begging for her to take it all back.
"CRUCIO!" She screeched and the heartbreak on Draco's face was more painful to see than his body writhing on the ground.
"Miss Hermione Granger, goody two shoes know-it-all Gryffindor, the brain of the Golden trio, the girl that wasn't good enough for Ronald Weasley or Harry Potter, ugly little mudblood Granger, prissy little prude," Hermione said in a taunting tone as she looked around whilst Draco writhed and sobbed on the ground beneath her. "All I ever was to all of you was MUDBLOOD GRANGER, UGLY MUDBLOOD GRANGER, THE PRUDE! You all worship the ground that fucking Potter and Weasley walk on," her tone was a snarl as she spat out her best friend's names. "Those two wouldn't've lasted a single day without me! The Dark Lord would've won the war and you'd all be dead, dead I tell you! And what do I get? I get called a mudblood and you all think of me as an ugly little prude! A know-it-all! Well fuck the lot of you, maybe I am a mudblood but i'm proud of it." She hissed and Bellatrix laughed cheerfully as she wrapped her arm around Hermione's shoulders.
"Lovely to see you all again, but i'm afraid we should wrap this all up." Everyone lunged into action but Bellatrix's minions had vanished. Belinda lifted her wand and pointed it straight at Bellatrix whilst everyone looked around in shock.
"Stupef-" Belinda started, but was roughly shoved to the side as Kingsley lunged for Bellatrix. Bellatrix smirked and vanished, but not before her and Hermione fired off two random killing curses.
The first shocked cry was from Molly Weasley before the life vanished from her eyes, and the second was from Angelina.
"No!" George cried as he held the dead girl in his arms and shook her violently. "No, no no no, Angelina, mum, Ang-" His voice was choked up as everyone looked around, not sure who to run too. Arthur Weasley held his wife in his arms, distraught, Ginny was still clutching to Ron and Belinda found her feet moving to comfort George.
"Shh, it's okay," and this time when she comforted him, George pulled her closer instead of pushing her away. He sobbed into her shoulder and wrapped his arms tightly around her, remaining like that for several minutes before Belinda realised that Draco was still curled in the fetal position and no one was attempting to comfort him - not that she'd expected anyone to. But curled up in George's arms with his head buried in her shoulder as he clung to her like his life depended on it was hard to drag herself away from.
"George," she murmured softly, looking over at Draco who's complexion was far more pale than usual. He made a noise to recognise that she was speaking to him and sniffed slightly, lifting his head a little to look at her before he slackened his grip. She leant in and kissed his cheek very softly, running her fingers through his red locks in a way that she hoped would comfort him. He shut his eyes and sighed heavily, tears still sliding down his cheeks.
"Draco needs me," Belinda breathed, hardly able to lift her voice much more than that.
"I need you," muttered George, before he sighed and released her completely. Belinda reluctantly walked away from George, feeling peace only when she saw Katie Bell immediately crouch down beside him and offer her hand in comfort as she too sobbed over her friend's body.
"Drake," Belinda knelt down beside her blonde haired friend. He slowly lifted his haunted gaze to hers and a shiver ran up her spine at the look in his eyes. It was worse than George's pain, so much worse. There was no way to describe the utter heartbreak in Draco's eyes as he stared at her, like he was assessing her. Suddenly, a hard look entered his eyes and as Belinda reached out to touch him he grabbed her hand and pushed it back towards her.
"Don't." Was all he said before he stood up. Belinda watched him move as he twisted on his heel and apparated away.
It had been only 20 minutes since the attack and the chaos was slowly being cleaned up. The Weasley's still grieved heavily for their loss and Harry was quick to help clean up with everyone else. George refused to leave Angelina's side, as did Katie as they both held each of the dead girl's hands. Harry had his time to grieve over Ron, as well as the loss of Hermione but Belinda knew Harry was suspicious, as was she.
What would case Hermione Granger to go from sweet and innocent to evil?
Nothing made sense to Belinda. Hermione's face going green, that strange look in her eye, her running into the house the moment the battle started - At the thought of The Burrow, a cry of outrage left Belinda. How could she fucking FORGET her siblings?! She ran straight for the house and called out for them both, but neither responded.
She was unaware that Harry had followed her in, as well as George who had pried himself away from Angelina only because of the way Belinda had dashed off. The moment Harry had taken after her, George had found the will to drag himself along as well.
"Jamie! Toby! It's me, Belinda, everything's fine now you can come out!" She called again, her eyes welling up with tears as she searched desperately for them. A strangled cry came from the lounge room and that was when Belinda was aware of George and Harry's presence. Belinda took to move to fast and almost flipped onto the floor but George immediately grabbed her arm and yanked her back against his chest. Blood was splattered on the both of them, George's eyes red and puffy as tears slid down Belinda's cheeks. They both stared deeply at one another, finding it hard to look away from each other.
"BELINDA!" Harry bellowed and they were snapped out of their moment as they both warily made their way towards Harry. His hands were on a little girl's chest, covered in pouring blood as sobs escaped the little boy curled up in a ball beside Jamie. Harry looked as if he was trying to stop the blood, but Jamie's face was so pale it was obvious she'd been dead for a while despite the blood continuing to trickle out of her. "Shit, oh shit," Belinda cursed as she shoved Harry out the way and instead placed her own hands over Jamie's stomach. A knife was stuck in her stomach and she quickly yanked it out, giving her sister a gentle shake.
"Fuck no, no no, Jamie don't do this to me, this is not happening," Belinda's mind was spinning at the sight of blood and she felt sick to the stomach as she lifted her sister into her arms and hugged her tightly, not caring for the blood that trickled onto her clothing. She hated Jamie's body so lifeless in her arms and she let out a scream of rage, dropping Jamie down onto the floor gently and deciding to destroy the Weasley's home muggle style. She flung the knife at a vase, watching as it shattered all over the floor and flipped a table. She kicked and punched everything within reach, denting the walls and splitting open her knuckles as she took out her rage on the house.
"Belsy," Toby's little voice caused her whip around, eyes wide with rage and her nostrils flaring. Her cheeks were flushed as she stared down at the sandy haired boy who was holding something in a way that reminded Harry too much of Dobby.
"No." Harry gasped as he realised this was exactly like Dobby. There was a knife in Toby's stomach, but not as deep as Jamie's. The boy was in for an intense, 24-hour pain as he slowly died. Too deep to heal, too shallow to kill immediately. Belinda stared at Harry in confusion before her eyes slowly slid back to their normal size and she realised what was wrong. If she'd been angry before, it was nothing compared to now. "Toby!" She gasped as she collapsed to the floor and banged her fists against it. A pair of strong arms wrapped around her holding her back as her little brother crumbled to the ground, falling straight onto the knife and sending it straight into his heart. "Love you," Toby whispered as he died.
Harry scooped the little boy up as tears fell down her cheeks and he hugged him to him. Belinda's screams of agony echoed around the area as she fought against George's arms before succumbing to him and letting her be pulled into his embrace as they both sobbed for their losses and the loss of Toby and Jamie who had been Weasley's for the past three years.
"Belinda?" Ginny's voice was weak and throaty as she crept in, followed by a large group of people who had come to investigate the screaming. Everyone's wide eyes took in the destruction of the living room and then they stared at the dead bodies of Belinda's siblings.
"THIS. IS NOT HAPPENING." Belinda screamed at them all as she yet again started to fight against George who desperately held her back, pulling her onto his lap. She swivelled in his arms and stared beating against his chest, trying to escape him.
"LET ME GO, LET ME GO!" She cried out, her pain so intense she felt her chest constrict.
Her head swirled violently and taking into consideration she'd woken up from a three year coma not even a week ago, it became too much and Belinda slumped in George's arms.
A/N: Yeah, I didn't see the Hermione betraying them bit coming either, it was just a 'hey let's make the betrayal more intense' and then yeah that happened. But yes, Belinda is now completely alone in the world (not really) but finally this story isn't all about romance. Sorry if some of you are upset by this but... I don't know I couldn't help myself, I had to make this harder for Belinda and George than it already was so I could keep the story going. It was meant to be finished by now but I screwed my old plans and these ones are way better. We're looking at maybe 30 chapters here, guys!
STILL NEED A BETA!
