New Beginnings

Anastasia's POV

We had just broken our kiss when a loud crack roared through the house.

"Don't worry, Arthur has taken her to the ministry. They ought to sort it out" Molly muttered

"She was Death Eater?" exclaimed Ron. "Why the bloody hell didn't anyone realize?"

And then silence fell again. No one could quite believe what had happened. Not another word was muttered until bedtime, when we all went our separate ways.

I lay in my Bed listening to the twins tossing and turning in their sleep. There was no way I was going to sleep tonight. My thoughts were interrupted when a strong arm wrapped itself around my body.

"Can't sleep either" George said as he held me close and pulled the duvet over us.

I smiled in acknowledgement, and pressed my lips on his,before nuzzling into his chest. "I love you" my voice was small.

"I love you too" And then we fell asleep in each others arms.

5 months later

Anastasia's POV

"Afternoon everyone" sung Mr Weasley popping his head round the front door.

"Afternoon Dad" chirped George. Molly pecked Athurs cheek and gave him a wink.

"Any news?" Mrs weasley did enjoy being in the know.

"Actually a shocking piece" Mr Weasley paused. " It seems Amelia really was pregnant after all".

I almost choked on my chocolate frog. Amelia was pregnant. She hadn't lied, it did cross my mind how she would have pulled the stunt off, but she was actually WITH CHILD.

"What? Poor Kid" I spoke without thinking, it was becoming a bad habit of mine.

"Anastasia!" Mrs Weasley raised her eyebrow at me. " Sorry" a guilty smile spread across my face.

"She tried to bring that child into our family" Arthur's voice was hurt.

"Can you blame her?" Molly, Arthur and George stared at me in bewilderment. They stared like I was crazy. " Well who wouldn't want to be a Weasley?! Her lot are Death Eaters, she probably wanted to bring the Kid up in a happy family environment" my voice was sincere , I meant every word.

There really was no better family than the Weasleys. They took me in when no one wanted me, put a roof over my head and food in my mouth. They gave me a family to be part of , they gave me love. I would be forever in there debt, because there was no way to repay how much kindness they had spent on me, that gift was too great.

All their eyes looked at me lovingly for too long, it made me uncomfortable, so I bowed my head to hide my blushing cheeks. I felt a kiss touch my face, I couldn't tell who it was, but I knew they were all grateful. I wish my Dad could see how happy I was, maybe he could. I wish even more that he were here to share it with me. If the Weasley's had taught me anything, it's that you don't need money to be happy, you just need each other.

"Come on gorgeous , let's go outside" George grabbed my hand and tugged me to the coat stand. He pulled my Gryffindor hat over my eyes, and kissed me, but his lips moved away too suddenly, unnaturally. I giggled and up my hat.

"Come on Georgeous" I smiled. George chuckled and said " Are you aware that is probably one of the corniest lines ever". His smile was huge, it was pure and simple like sunshine through a raindrop, I loved that.

The tree branches were stark bare, their leaves stripped off in the fall; their beauty gone. A blanket of snow lay on the ground, our feet destroying it's perfection as we tred carefully. Somehow the snow brought silence, like everything and everyone taken a breath to admire it. We climbed up our tree, for the first time George didn't sit close to me, he sat away. I didn't give it another thought, I just sat and admired the view.

"Hey George- I" I glanced to his face,His eyes screwed up in pain, his body shook.

"George, what's wrong?" I leapt to his side. His faces bubbled and morphed

"What a stupid girl." George laughed, his voice not his own. It's pitch was higher. What was happening to George? His eyes had darkened and lost their spark, his hair grew longer, thick , black and matted.

Polyjuice Potion.

My legs raced to abandon the tree but a crooked wand was already jutting into my neck. My eyes were watering, but I didn't want to cry.

"Remember Aunty Bellatrix?" a voice hissed in my ear, her foul breath wafting over my face .

Two Georges

Georges POV

"Mum?" I slurred, my head seemed to heavy for my body, the room span all around me.

"Yes Dear?" I heard her reply but my eyes didn't focus, "George are you alright?" .

My knees gave way and I slumped to the floor, my vision was unclear and clouded.

"Arthur quick!"

"Whe-wher-where's An-na?" My throat was dry and my words stuttered.

"You just went outside with her George? Didn't she come back in with you?"

"Mum-Mum I did- I didn't go outside" What was Mum saying, we never went outside, I think we were going to before...

"George you've got a small bald patch on your head?"

"Yeah, I know , someone ro-round he-here ripped it out, che-cheeky gits!" I wheezed "That blo-bloody hurt"

Mum muttered something under her breath, and slammed her hand over her mouth her eyes full of tears.

"What is it Molly dear?" I heard dad's voice.

"Go and look for Anna! Someone's using polyjuice potion!".

It all made sense now. I remember...

"George, GEORGE!"

"He's knocked out, leave him for now. Anna needs us,"

.Crack

When I awoke from an unpleasant dream, I was tucked in my bed. The house was deadly silent, the strangest noise since the Burrow was always buzzing. Fred wasn't in his bed, that too ,was strange. Where was everyone?

"Fred" I shouted, but there was no reply. As I ventured downstairs, the breakfast table was neat and tidy, not busy and cluttered. I checked the family clock, the hands were spinning leaping from one thing to another.

Crack.

"IS ANNA HERE?" shouted Ginny.

"No. Where have you all been? I shouted back.

"Don't you remember, she's missing!"

Then it hit me, it hadn't been an unpleasant dream , it was all real.
