Well I have finally gotten this part finished. Sorry it's taken me so long but well I've had the Flu on top a very crazy time in our lives. So It's taken me quite a bit longer to find the time. Not to say the kids seem to want to drive me mad everytime I sit down to write.
I don't own any of the characters. I just borrow them and make them do what I want them to do.
Everything seemed to be going in slow motion and yet it all remained rather confusing as well. By the time Harry and Ginny had helped her cousin into the burrow there was already a few people in line to floo.
There were also few auror's giving instructions and holding people back. "We are just awaiting a few healers to make their way here. They should flu through at any moment. Then we will flu you to St Mungos. Everyone is to flu with a fit person by their side. If you needed assistance getting into the house you will need it at the other end."
Harry looked around looked at Ginny caught her eye and then nodded towards her cousin silently asking if she would go through with him.
Ginny sighed before looking around her. "I don't know his sister and parents are here somewhere. Ivan have you seen your parents."
Ivan seemed to struggle to take his eyes from his damaged arm. The moldy cheese look now snaking silently up the side of his neck, and shook his head at Ginny. "What's going to happen to me?" He half pleaded before a bright red headed witch cried out behind them.
"Oh, Ivan, my baby. Oh no." Before pushing Harry aside to take a better look at what Harry could only guess was her son.
Ivan just turned to look at her. "My arm." Was all he answered.
Harry watched as Ginny grabbed the woman. "Here you help him cousin Selenavitch, he will need you to floo with him through to St Mungo's." Releasing the hold she had on her cousin's good arm to the woman.
Ginny then grabbed Harry pulling him back outside. "Oh, I didn't want to leave with him, thank goodness Selenavitch turned up when she did. Her father was a Russian wizard who married Dad's aunt. Well let's just say they aren't the bravest of our family members but I imagine he will cry like a baby now mummy's with him." She muttered as they quickly made their way back to the meadow. "Did you see who else was hurt."
"I don't know all your family well enough to say if any others were hurt. But your immediate family and Hermione were fine. Lavender touched one of the yoyos and Dean got hit by one of the wands." Harry explained.
Ginny just sighed at the news. "The last thing either of them need. I hope they are going to be alright."
As they walked they were passed by someone helping one of the Weasley Wizard's staff towards the burrow and then stopped as they saw Lavender and the Patel twins coming towards them. Lavender's skin seemed to only be moldy up to her elbow. Harry then noticed a band around her arm that seemed to be glowing slightly.
"Oh, are you okay?" Ginny asked. "Looks like you only just touched the string instead of slipped it on your finger."
"No, we've just charmed my head scarf to stop the poison from spreading." Pavati answered. "It's an old Indian charm Mum taught us."
"Wow, that's amazing. Padma can you go and help some of the others. It's reached the top of my cousin's neck already." Ginny exclaimed impressed.
"That would be great if you could do that Padma, you can follow Pavati and Lav to St Mungos when everyone is through." Harry nodded his head at Ginny's idea.
The twins nodded, and Lavender who had pretty much shook at hearing Ginny's cousins skin condition was up to his neck exclaimed. "Yes, Padma you help others. I'm so glad you two were with me." As Padma took off for the house first and Pavati continued to help Lavender.
Harry and Ginny continued towards the meadow. "Merlin have we all grown up in the last year. I'm sure a few years ago Lavender wouldn't stop screaming until she was completely sure she was going to be fine." Ginny exclaimed.
Harry smirked remembering Lavender running into the Hospital wing at Hogwarts screaming for her 'Von Von' when Ron had been poisoned in their 6th year.
On reaching the meadow, they were past by some healers running from the burrow. Harry was pleased to see that help had arrived.
"Poor Mum she so wanted today to be just right, remembering Fred." Ginny stated nodding to where her Mother was still trying to help people but it was easy to see she was also almost at her wits end. "Oh blast, it's Aunt Muriel." Ginny added stressed out before taking off to where her mother was standing with most of the Weasley's. Fleur was on her knees with the old ladies head in her lap wiping her brow. From where Harry stood he couldn't see which of the afflictions their elderly aunt was suffering. George stood there white as a sheet. Harry could only imagine what he was thinking George's own better known products and jokes being used against his loved ones.
"Harry. Over here." Harry heard his name called. Turning he saw Neville waving for him to join the circle on the ground near him.
Harry looked back at the Weasley's and was pretty sure that Aunt Muriel didn't need one more person standing around her while she waited for a healer and jogged over to Neville. "What's up mate?"
Neville stood aside and pointed to the ground, where Alicia, Lee and Katie were kneeling over Angelina. "Merlin." Harry muttered to himself. "Is she alright?"
"Yeah, she's just not moving for the sake of it." Lee answered only to be wacked in the arm by Katie.
"We need help Harry I think she took one of those wands to the chest." Alicia answered through even more tears. Harry wondered if she had even stopped crying at all today.
Katie looked up at Harry. "She's barely breathing." With a pleading look in her eyes, then glancing over at George. It was all the proof Harry needed that Angelina did in fact have feelings for George.
"I'll find a Healer." Harry said looking around for one of the figures he had seen run past him only moments before hand. Spotting one casting a few charms and spells over someone and then giving directions to some Auror's for the person to now be carried inside. Harry quickly ran and intercepted the Healer returning with him in just a few moments explaining. "We think she took one of the wand spells to the chest."
Everyone moved aside to let the Healer look at Angelina. Harry couldn't help but glance back at the Weasley's to see if George had noticed. He was almost thankful that he hadn't. But Harry was also relieved to see that a Healer was now with Aunt Muriel. In fact the meadow seemed to clearing of the injured pretty quickly now and people also seemed to be exiting at the edge of the wards pretty fast also.
"We need to get her to St Mungo's as soon as possible." The Healer muttered to himself as he moved his wand back and forth over Angelina's chest. "Who is her next of kin?" He asked.
"I'll go and let her parents know." Lee stood squeezing Katie's shoulder. "I'll meet you there." He nodded at Katie. "You stay with her."
Katie nodded her acknowledgment, but barely lifted her eyes from her friend.
Lee looked at Harry. "Someone's going to have to tell…" He paused nodding his head towards the Weasley family.
"Yeah, I know." Harry answered while thinking telling George was about the last thing he wanted to do.
Lee just nodded once more before taking off to the edge or the wards. Harry knew once on the other side he would apparite too Angelina's parents house.
It didn't take long for the healer after that to conjure up a stretcher and direct Harry and Neville to carry it towards the burrow. Katie and Alicia staying close by as the healer continued to monitor Angelina the whole way.
It wasn't too long till Harry found himself exiting the burrow with Neville by his side this time. Only to be met by Kingsley.
"Ahh, Harry I've been looking for you. I think we almost have everyone through to St Mungo's now." Kingsley said looking at a few more stretchers being carried to the burrow. "These are the last."
Harry looked closer, and was surprised not the see the Weasley's. "I thought Muriel was hit?" He questioned.
Kingsley shook his head. "No, she just collapsed in the panic. Arthur and Molly thought she had a heart attack, but the healer brought her around."
"That's a relief. I need to find George."
"Harry, we can't leave you here, in fact I think we're going to have to move the whole family." Kingsley came out straight with it.
Harry just groaned. "What about the service tomorrow?"
"Well we will have a nightmare on our hands if that's cancelled. But then again we can't have another repeat of today." Harry could have sworn Kingsley almost sighed in frustration which surprised Harry as out of all the Order of the Phoenix Kingsley always seemed the most unfazed by anything going on around him.
"Oh, Harry there you are. We've been looking for you." Hermione jogged up to them. "Kingsley this is terrible. What was that green stuff they used to break the wards?" She turned on the minister. "I've never seen anything like it. Not to say those wand burns."
"Yes, Miss Granger we are aware that there was quite a breach in security. I was just telling Mr. Potter that I feel it's best if we move him and the Weasley family for the time being. I'm presuming that will include you." Kingsley looked at Hermione like she was the last person he needed to point out what had gone wrong today.
"Oh…oh, I hadn't thought of that." Hermione looked around her. "Where will we go?"
Kingsley looked at Harry. "Well the Goblins did say they were preparing…"
Harry groaned. "Can't we just go to Grimald Place? At least the Weasley's know the house well."
Kingsley shrugged. "Well we have detained the only Death Eater to know its existence by apperating there with you. I'll think about it. Must meet with some others, don't go anywhere Harry." Kingsley said spotting some Auror's beckoning him over and then starting to head their way before turning back and adding. "In fact make sure none of the Weasley's or partners go anywhere. That includes you Miss Granger. I don't want any of you adding to this mess by going missing."
Great thought Harry, not only do I need to tell George about Angelina but now I have to stop him going to St Mungo's or find a way to get him there without the Ministry knowing, just wonderful.
"Wow, I'm glad I'm not you. It's bad enough with people making a thing out of me half running the underground at Hogwarts." Neville commented to Harry. "Not that I mind too much, it's nice to have people interested in you."
"Harry, what was Kingsley talking about, the goblins preparing something?" Hermione asked.
"Not much." Harry sighed. "Just one of the places my parents left me. Where's George?"
"Sitting with Fred's portrait why?" She answered. "Hang on, did you just say places?" Harry felt her fall into step beside him as he headed to the meadow. "Just how many places etc. are we talking about Harry?"
"I'm not getting into it now alright."Harry answered back. "Neville and I just carried Angelina on a Stretcher to the floo. One of the wands hit her in the chest. She was bad enough that the Healer returned with her."
"You're kidding right?" Hermione half staggered.
"Did you see me laughing?" Harry muttered. "Alicia and Katie went with her, and Lee's gone to inform her parents. Guess who I have to break it too."
"George… Merlin." Hermione muttered. "Do you think Lee was right? That George has feelings for her."
Harry nodded. "Yeah, yeah I do."
Hermione half groaned, and pointed to where George was sitting next to Fred's portrait when they reached the meadow. "I don't suppose you need me with you."
Harry acknowledged he didn't then headed towards the one living twin and the one in the portrait who seemed to be asking questions in a never ending flow not giving George even a moment to answer them.
"George….Fred." Harry got their attention and pulled up a chair.
"Harry that was a fare bit of excitement. I suppose no one will ever forget the day they fare welled me." Fred exclaimed in his all most normal manner.
"People got hurt Fred." George looked at his twin like he was mad.
"Yeah, about that…." Harry started before Fred interrupted him.
"Harry have you seen Alicia? How is she, can you get her for me."
"Ahhh…..she left already." Harry half stumbled over his own words.
"Why do you want to see Alicia?" George turned on Fred. "Angelina's probably mopping around here somewhere grieving for you." The sourness clear in his voice.
"George….." Harry started again, thinking I'm getting nowhere.
"Why would I want to see Angelina? Well I mean I would she's one of my best friends but…." Fred came back at George.
"Oh come off it, I know you were apperating out at night to see her for the last year even when we weren't meant to be leaving Aunt Muriel's. I'm not dumb. I can put two and two together. I just never wanted to admit it, so I tried to ignore you." George spat at Fred. "I mean look your dead and you've still got her heart."
Fred coughed into his hand. "Alicia….." Then throwing his hands up in frustration he yelled. "I've been seeing Alicia. I sort of broke our rules. That's why I didn't tell you. You one eared idiot. Not to say I wasn't trying to tell you for the last few months. But you just kept hoping around with a hand over your good ear singing, 'la la la I can't hear you' every time I started to say her name."
"Because I thought it was Angelina. You know it's a little uncomfortable to know that your twin brother who is pretty much identical to you in every way give or take an ear is probably shagging the girl you've been in love with since you were 16. I thought if I ignored it you would hopefully move on and I would never have to face it." George spat back at Fred.
"You're in love with Angelina?" Fred asked looking very confused.
George had finished his rant and placed his head in his hands muttering. "Alicia, bloody hell Fred you've dated all three of the girls."
"This is bloody brilliant." Fred yelled looking like he was jumping for joy.
George looked at Fred. "What's so brilliant about it?"
"Angelina and George up a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes…." Fred started singing.
"Oh shut up. She's not interested in me like that. I still reckon she's interested in you." George blurted out angrily back at the singing portrait.
Fred sat down in the chair looking at George like he was thinking hard. "Well I suppose now that I'm dead she can't exactly kill me for telling you this, like she's threatened to all these years."
"Tell me what?" George asked looking a little like he wanted to kill Fred.
"Why Angelina and I didn't last more than a few weeks. Even then she was a little uncomfortable around me." Fred started to explain. "But well, she had given up waiting for you to finally ask her out and she thought what the hell why not just go to the ball with me. But well…." Fred started to smirk. "Well the first time I really, I mean really snogged her a few weeks later she…..well she called me George." Fred was clearly chuckling to himself. "I've got to tell you mate it's a bit of a blow to your ego when the chick your snogging groans out you're identical twins name."
Harry watched George eyes grow wide then look around him scanning the meadow before turning back to Fred. "Well that doesn't mean anything now does it? She could be seeing anyone."
"You know George. I really didn't know you liked her in fact the way you used to brush off any mention of her always made me think there wasn't any hope for her. I think maybe we should have talked a bit more about serious stuff." Fred stated. "But then again I suppose I might now be proof life's too short to be taken seriously."
George shot Fred what Harry could only describe as the worst look he had ever seen one of the twins give the other one before turning to Harry. "Have you seen Angelina? I can't spot her."
Harry took a deep breath before blurting out. "That's what I came over to tell you. She took one of the wand spells to the chest. She's at St Mungo's."
