Please read and review! Enjoy! Thanks for reading~
Mia sat in the lonely library wasting time by working on her Defense Against the Dark Arts Essay that she could have easily finished hours ago. Harry had taught them a lot of things so she knew everything about this essay, she only wanted to stay here in the quiet. There was no place in Hogwarts that was quiet anymore since the twins had left. Pranks were all over the place so Mia never had a moment of silence to herself.
Being surrounded by the quiet library helped soothed her heart. Seeing pranks all day only reminded her about Fred, their relationship, and how he had just left. They had been together officially for a couple of months but now he was gone out of Hogwarts. Mia sighed, playing with the delicate silver necklace with a blue flower charm on it that Fred had gotten her for Christmas.
"Missing your sweet heart Black?" A voice hissed behind her.
Mia twirled around tightly clutching her wand in her hand. She narrowed her eyes at who she saw. "Lestrange, what do you want?"
"Nothing," He shrugged his dark eyes filled with hatred. "I only wanted to know why a cousin of mine would be dating a blood traitor like that vile Weasley."
"I am no cousin of yours and who I date is my business, no one else's," She hissed watching him as he slowly walked around her like a lion circling his prey.
"No I do believe I have the right to know why a member of the family is tarnishing our name," He slowly picked up the heavy book that had been on her desk. "Your father may be a blood traitor but your mother was a pure blood. Her family was on the neutral side, so that still means we are second cousins."
"My mother was for Dumbledore and totally against Vol-" She started but he quickly slapped her face, hard.
"Do not speak his name you filthy girl," He hissed. "You refer to him as the Dark Lord, only that."
"He is not my lord nor master," Mia gingerly touched her stinging cheek. "Anyone who believes so is mental. Believing in pure blood nonsense will lead to devastation. Following someone as stupid as Voldemort will only lead-"
Robert grabbed her arm and shoved her against the wall, making her wince at the pain in her back. His eyes were on fire as they bore into hers. "Don't speak his name or I swear I will use the cruciatus curse on you."
"Really cousin? Are you?" Mia narrowed her eyes. "Family doesn't act like this. They don't hurt each other, they care about each other. If you cant support me getting married to Fred you arent my family. Not that you were in the first place."
"You're what?" He demanded his vice like grip on my arms managed to get even more tighter.
"I'm engaged, to Fred Weasley," Mia proudly spoke, holding her head high.
It happened so suddenly that Mia wasn't able to react. Robert pulled out his wand and jabbed it at her. His voice was cold as he spoke. "Crucio."
Mia screamed as loud as she could. The pain seared through her skin, crawling through her whole body. Feeling like it was tarring off her flesh as she went. The pain was equal to each and everyone of her cells exploding. Her body slid to the floor. She tried to focus on Robert but she couldn't. All she could see was his dark eyes.
"I will get you for what you've done to your family," Robert leaned down, his breath hot on her neck. "You will pay in blood for marrying that monster."
Mia gained her voice as he stood up. "He's no monster…you are."
Robert flicked his wand at her again. The same searing pain burrowed into her body making her high pitch scream echo the library. When the pain finally ended, she laid there breathing deeply. Robert's eyes narrowed on her, daring her to say it again.
"Watch what you're filthy blood traitor mouth says Black," His voice empty and calm. "I wont go easy on you the next time I see you."
Now the devil was here in her Heaven. He stood there, his wand lazily held in front of him. Confidence oozed out of him since he believe that he was better than a girl who hasn't used her wand in a while. He had a cold smile on his face, like he had been waiting for this moment to show up for a long time.
"I told you will pay for what you did," His voice was level, but his smile got wider at the thought of making Mia pay in blood.
"So there are still Death Eaters out there huh?" Mia raised an eyebrow. "I thought we took care of all of you filthy creatures."
"Oh yes there are still quite a few of us out there cousin, there are more of us than you can possible know," Robert hissed at her. "We wont be taken down that easily even with the Dark Lord defeated."
"How does that feel? Knowing you so called strong evil master was taken down by a 17 year old?" Mia smiled slightly at the mention of Harry. "Bet that killed all of you. I told you that you were fighting on the wrong side. People who want a future are the ones who are going to win in the end."
"What about your husband? He was taken down just as easily," Robert grinned evilly.
"My husband died for a worthy cause," Mia narrowed her eyes at him. "Unlike all of you so called Death Eaters."
"Mummy what about Daddy?" Angel peeked her head around Mia's leg, her eyes going wide at the man in their house. "That's the scary guy mummy!"
"You have a daughter?" He raised an eyebrow, apparently not knowing that bit of vital information. "Poor little dear never knew her traitor of a father. Does that remind you of anyone Mia?"
"Me," She answered her eyes following him as he stepped over the body that was laying in the middle of their walkway. "Shush Angel, stay behind mummy and do everything I say."
"Okay," She muttered going back to hiding behind her mother's legs.
"I should have brought my son," Robert said. "I could have taught him how to torture someone by using your daughter."
"You touch her and I'll kill you," Mia's voice was as cold as ice.
"You'll never be able to touch me," He laughed at her threat. "I think I'll kill you first, then use your daughter as a target until she bleeds slowly to death in a cold lonely cellar-"
"Petrificus totalus," Mia pointed her wand at Robert, but he skillfully dodged the spell.
Mia yanked on Angel's arm pulling her toward her bed room, making sure that Angel was safety behind her so Robert couldn't cast a spell on her. Robert easily countered the spell. "Incendio."
Fire come out of his wand directly at them. Mia shoved Angel into her bedroom, hurrying in after her. The flames shot past the door a couple of inches away from Mia's face. Mia glanced out of the room, her wand directed at Robert's evil grinning face. "Incarcerous."
She watched as ropes shot out of her wand, launching themselves at Robert. He dived out of the way crashing heavily into the bookcase that landed on top of him. He let out in enraged scream, cursing everything in his sight. Mia ducked back into the room needed to get away as far as possible.
Mia didn't wait to cast another spell when Robert stopped his fit, that would take time. They didn't have a lot of time. Angel was wide eyed shaking next to her mum as Mia grabbed a stool for her vanity and swung it against the window.
Shattering glass rained down on them but Mia was already moving, not even noticing the small cuts she got. Mia picked up Angel and carefully past her through the window, being extra careful not to have one of the any jagged glass shards cut into her sensitive baby skin. Angel stood on the other side of the window looking worriedly as her mum proceeded to climb out of the window barely getting half way through before Robert stormed into her room.
"Avada Kedavra," Robert hissed, just as she launched herself out of the window, barely able to escape from the deadly killing curse.
Memories of Fred climbing out of her window flooded her mind as she landed hard on the grass. Mia grabbed Angel's hand and pulled her toward the woods near their house. Curses flew around them but Mia had blocked or dodged them all so far. Suddenly Mia felt a spell hit her back and red angry welts appeared on the back of her arms and back.
Her whole body felt like it was stinging, the sensation ran through her whole body and she release a whimper, but she wouldn't pause, she couldn't stop. They were both huffing and puffing as they got near the looming dark woods. Angel was sniffling next to her as they wound their way around the thick trees.
Mia wanted nothing more than to stop and comfort her daughter but if they stop right now Robert would get them. Mia paused before lifting Angel into her arms, wincing at the pain from her back. Taking a deep breath Mia apparited themselves to somewhere she knew was safe. Before fully leaving Mia cast a spell to get rid of their magically trace so that no one was able to follow them.
After the uncomfortable sensation of apparition was over, Mia looked around at the familiar surroundings. The Burrow looked exactly the same as the first time she had come to visit the twins. The lopsided multistory house loomed brightly against the dark of the night. Warm light shined out of the windows and laughter drifted towards them, welcoming them. Taking a deep breath Mia walked toward the front door knocking a couple of times.
"Why are you shaking?" Fred looked over his shoulder to see Mia shaking slightly behind them as they walked toward the slopping tall house.
"I'm nervous," She hissed.
"Why?" George questioned grinned wickedly. "You aren't scared are you?"
"Yes I am," She admitted.
"Why would you-" Fred started.
"-be scared to visit us?" George asked loving to interrupt his brother, especially when he was talking to his girlfriend.
"I'm meeting your parents," She pointed out.
"So?" George raised an eyebrow.
"You've met them before," Fred reminded her.
"Yeah when I was your friend. I'm your girlfriend now," She sighed when the boys gave her an odd look. "You are boys, you wont understand."
"Excuse me!" George gasped offended. "Fred did you hear what she called us?"
"I cant believe it!" Fred cried. "She called us boys."
Fred stopped and sobbed into George's shirt as George patted his brother on his back trying to comfort him. George sniffled and shook his head at me. "How could you do something that horrible Mia? Do you even think about what you say?"
"But I-" Mia started sighing.
"You just go and blab your mouth off without even thinking about other peoples' feelings," Fred turned to me, sniffling to add to his whole sad effect.
"Now you have bruised our egos," George shook his head looking at me disappointed. "You should be ashamed-"
"-of yourself young lady," Fred nodded. They sound like my parents, Mia thought then wished she hadn't. Her parents deaths were still open bleeding wounds to her.
"Geez, I'm sorry alright?" Mia sighed.
"That didn't sound much like an apology did it George?" Fred looked over to his twin. Evil grins on their faces.
"No it didn't Fred," George grinned. "What should we do to get even with her?"
They exchange glances before speaking together. "Throw her in the pond."
"What-Oh no," Mia gasped backing away from the approaching twins. "Don't you two even think about throwing me into a pond."
"Sorry to late love," George shrugged.
"You brought this upon yourself Mia," Fred's hand was out stretched to grab a hold of my arm.
"Wait! Please no!" Mia begged them as they launched themselves at her.
One of them grabbed her around the waist while the other grabbed her legs. They easily picked her up, carrying her in a princess way with only two people. As they headed toward their beautiful colorful garden and ultimately the green pond Mia was struggling against them. She just needed to get one of them off balance.
Unfortunately squirming around and trying to kick them didn't work. They paused right in front of the green water. Frogs hopped around, jumping away as they got near. Fred grabbed her arms and George had her legs. They started to swing her back and forth trying to get her to fly into the cold smelling pond water perfectly.
"It was nice knowing you Mia," Fred laughed.
"I hope you don't get eaten by the fish in there, mum hasn't fed them in years," George teased.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! You're both men, men," Mia cried not wanting to get soaking wet with pond water.
"Too late now love," Fred smiled dazzling at her.
"Fred! George! What are you doing?" Mrs. Weasley demanded her hands on her hips as she stormed out of the house to glare at her children.
At that second both of their grips loosened. They looked horror struck at each other as Mia was launched into the cold water. She resurfaced, coughing and sputtering out disgusting algae filled water. The twins were laughing clutching their sides when they saw her cold wet and with a lily pad on her head. Mia narrowed her eyes at the twins as she slipped on the side of bank trying to get up.
She fell back into the cold water. Her skirt ridding up her legs even more, showing off her pale skin. Falling in again just caused the twins to burst out laughing once more. Mrs. Weasley came toward the pond muttering under her breath about her horrible twins.
"Here dear take my hand," Mrs. Weasley's kind face was engraved into her mind at that moment. Mrs. Weasley had been a second mother to her since hers had died that year. Mrs. Weasley had always held a special spot in her heart for Mia, just like she did for Harry.
Mia reached out taking the woman's hand and smiled. "Thank you."
Mia was shaking from being nervous about seeing her in-laws again. Angel had buried her head in the nook of Mia's neck. She knew that she would have to explain to Angel all about magic and pray that she wasn't traumatized from this experience.
Before her thoughts could control her mind completely the door was pulled open widely to show a plump red headed warm slightly old woman. Her happy carefree expression was exchanged with a shocked looked.
"Hello Mrs. Weasley," Mia gently said not wanting to startle the woman who looked like a ghost had come back from the dead.
"Mia dear is that really you?" Mrs. Weasley asked her eyes gaining moisture quickly. The sound of the party inside instantly died when Mrs. Weasley spoke. Everyone seemed to be waiting for an answer.
"Yes it is."
