38. The Empty House

We had returned back to the Burrow. After the tragedy of Dumbledore dying by the hands and wand of Snape, Molly decided to return back to the one thing that she felt safe in, and that was the Burrow. We fixed parts of the house with resources that we had and magic, trying our best to fix it as best we could. There was also going to be another wedding, but this time was Bill and Fleur. We were happy for them and they wanted it near the Burrow, so we put up the marquee that was used for Fred's and I wedding. I looked over at Ron who was standing and looking at the sky. I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder, who turned his head a tiny bit to see me.

"Hey." I whispered.

"Hey yourself." He softly replied. "It's really happening huh?" He asked.

I sighed and stood beside him, taking a small step forward. "Yes. With Dumbledore gone...Voldemort strong and his followers, we're the only ones to stop him." Ron sighed and looked from the sky to the ground. "We'll pull through. In the end, the good guys will survive and win."

Ron scoffed softly and looked at me. "Some people will die. You might die."

I shrugged, "I'm not afraid."

"Not afraid of what?"

"Death." I simply replied. Ron continued to stare at me.

"How are you not afraid?" He asked.

I looked at him from the sky and replied, "Look around Ron. You see a happy family laughing, chatting, and preparing for another wedding. But behind all that, is an army, coming to us and ready to fight. They feel that they will win, but they don't know that we will defend the Burrow, Hogwarts and safety of everyone. But since we've lost so many people, Cedric, Kester, Sirius, I will die before anyone else that I love will get hurt." Ron looked at me and then held out his arms.

I smirked and embraced his hug. He rubbed my back and replied, "I don't want you to die. You're an awesome sister-in-law."

I laughed as we pulled away and saw Moody with the twins behind him approach us, "We're going to get Harry. Time for him to move here." We nodded and walked to the group. Fred grabbed my hand and squeezed it, making me look at him and return the squeeze. We reached the group and a pile of brooms on the ground. "It's too dangerous to use the floo network, as we might get the attention of Ministry of Magic. So, we'll be flying." Moody ordered.

Tonks, Remus, Shacklebolt, Moody, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fleur, Bill, Krista, George, Fred and I mounted the brooms and took off, Molly and Arthur watching from the porch. We flew over London and the sights, keeping up high so we would be detected less and we soon arrived at a dark and empty street. We dismounted the brooms but carried them. I saw a street sign which read, 'Privet Drive'. "This is where Harry lives. It's be the house with no lights on." Tonks stated.

We all took the information in and I found the house with no lights on. "Is this it?" I asked in a whisper. Moody came forward and did a little beat of knocking with his knuckles on the door, which soon opened to reveal Harry himself. He opened the door and we quickly walked in, seeing the house empty of any furnishings. I looked at the walls, seeing light patches of rectangles of what I guessed used to have hanging pictures there.

"Now," Moody spoke up, making all of our attention turn to him. "To get Harry back the Burrow, it'll be a little more difficult as Death Eaters probably saw us. But I have made a Polyjuice potion to change into Potter here. Now, I only need volunteers." Moody looked at the group as everyone was silent.

I sighed and raised my hand, followed by Krista, Hermione and Ginny. Fred and George looked around the room and I sent them a glare, making them sigh and then stick their hands up in perfect unison. Fleur then stuck her hand up and Moody nodded in approval. "Yes, seven should be enough to confuse Death Eaters if we come across any." Moody then pulled out a flask and walked forward, "Warning, this will taste like Goblin's piss."

"Had a lot of experience with that Moody?" Fred asked. I snorted before taking a gulp and we all stared at him. "Just trying to diffuse the tension." He muttered as George smirked. I smirked and shook my head, then took a gulp of the potion.

I handed it to Krista and shook my head in disgust, Moody was right, it tasted horrible, but I don't know if it was exactly how he described it. I gasped as I felt myself start to change, the first thing being the height. The twins laughed as I slowly changed to Harry. "I don't know why you two are laughing. Your both taller than me, you'll become midgets." They ceased their chuckles as the potion reached them as they drank the remains of it. I had just finished as everyone else's change was coming to an end. After a few moments, everyone was now a Harry Potter.

"Hey! We're Identical!" Fred and George stated in time.

I shook my head with a Harry smirk and Tonks came forward, her arms full of boy looking clothing. She dumped it on the floor and said, "You'll all have to change so that you'll look like Harry a bit more and also confuse the Death Eaters." The fake Harry's started grabbing clothing and I grabbed blue jeans, a black T-shirt and a red and black checkered shirt.

"Hang on, hang on. I'm not letting my friends and family see Scy change, even if she does look like Harry." Fred demanded, turning into his protective, loving side.

I chuckled and touched his fake cheek, "No worries, I have everyone covered." I then grabbed my wand and waved it, making loads of curtains come out of nowhere and hide us seven Harry's.

I quickly peeled off my clothing and put it in my bag which was bigger on the inside and then put the clothes on, the T-shirt and shirt going on over the bag to hide it. I then made my curtain disappear as with the others. "Alright, put all your clothes in here." I shouted, like I was selling something at a stadium as the Harry's came forward with clothes and shoes and chucked it all in the bag. We then turned off the lights and walked out the house, shutting and locking the door. We walked down the drive and heard the sound of a motorbike. We all looked to the right to see Hagrid pull up in front of us.

"Whoa, so many Harry's!" He exclaimed and let out a chuckle. We laughed and the real Harry climbed on the side car of the motor bike, next to Hagrid. We all then climbed on our brooms and we all took off, the brooms and motorbike flying high up into the air. We dodged clouds and high buildings and things were going great, until we saw black, misty lines.

"Get ready! Death Eaters!" Krista and I shouted and everyone followed us as we took off in separate ways.

I looked behind me and saw two death eaters flying towards me, both male with fake smiles which looked more like scowls, revealing sharp teeth. I grabbed my wand and quickly took a sharp turn, making one of them lose concentration and crash into the side of the ferry. I smirked as I flew high and then pointed my wand at the other one, "Reducto!" I shouted, the spell repeatedly flying out the end of my wand. The death eater kept dodging but got too modest for his own good as his smirk turned to a frown when one of them hit him on the head. He fell down and hit the river and I put my wand away, flying down and returning to the group, which only had Hagrid with a sad looking Harry, the twins, Ginny and Krista. "What about the others?" I shouted.

Hagrid shook his head, "We go to the Burrow! We know that's where everyone is headin'!" He replied. I nodded in understanding and followed everything as we quickly flew off, heading back to the Burrow.

When we reached the house, Molly came rushing out of the door and embraced us one by one. We had changed back to ourselves on the way home so she knew who we all were, but still had the boy clothes on. "Where's the others?" She asked as Arthur walked out of the house to join us.

"On their way. We just had to get to safety." Krista spoke.

Molly nodded in understanding and I looked at Harry, whose head was down. "Harry, you okay?" I asked him.

He looked at me and replied softly, "My owl, Hedwig, was killed right in front of me. I could only sit there and watch. I know that he was an animal but-" I cut him off as I grabbed him and embraced him hard.

I rubbed his back and we pulled away, so that I could look at him and give him a small smile, which he returned. Molly then ushered us inside and Hagrid said his farewell as he had to return back to Hogwarts. We walked in and sat either in the kitchen or the living room, one by one being handed a cup of tea from Molly who kindly made one for each of us. We were silent as I grabbed Derry who was in his cage and his food, bringing him down and letting Harry care for him.

Minutes flew by that felt more like hours when we heard others landing on the floor. We sat up straight when we saw the rest of the group coming into the house. Everyone was there apart from Moody. "Where's Moody?" Arthur asked.

Bill and Fleur looked at each other and then back to all of us as Bill replied, "He...he was killed by the Killing Spell from a Death Eater. He never made it." We were silent as we had lost another person - again. I sighed looked round, not seeing George. Now that I realized, when we landed, he was silent and pale when we entered the house.

I heard a crash from upstairs and ran up them quickly, running into what used to be his and Fred's room to see him on the floor. "George!" I shouted, kneeling beside him.

Fred came in and saw us, "Merlin, George you fool, you better be alive! Don't you dare leave me!" Fred exclaimed. He picked him up and brought him to the living room, gently putting him on the sofa.

Molly stood by the end of it, stroking his hair in a comforting way as Fred knelt in front of him, Krista and me behind him. We stayed silent as we saw George opened his eyes slowly and coughed, then gave us all a small smile. "I'm not an idiot Freddie. But guess what? I holey Fred. Get it?" George tried to joke, pointing to the blood stained area where his ear should be but nothing was there. So that's why no one noticed, he must've been hiding it. For Fred, his other half.

Fred choked on a small sob and gave a small smile in return, "In the whole relation of ear humour, you go for 'I'm holey'. That's pathetic."

He shook his head and chuckled as George simply replied, "Bet I'm still better looking than you." George slowly closed his eyes and we saw that he had fallen asleep, probably from the pain and shock.

Fred stood up and quickly walked outside. Everyone either went upstairs, the kitchen or stayed in the living room to check on George. I decided to follow Fred as I slowly walked out of the house and saw him sitting on the grass, slumped and looking as though he was holding his head in his hands. I sat beside him and he lifted his head up, revealing that he had been crying as a tear was on his cheek. I wiped it away and he smirked briefly, "Sorry. I don't like people seeing me like this."

I smirked at his excuse. "It's fine. Everyone should see that you're crying, it means that you care deeply for your twin and that you have emotions." Fred nodded. I took his hands and made him look at me, "Freddie, I know how that just felt, thinking you lost someone so close to you. But you're lucky. George is alive and okay, apart from a missing ear but still." Fred laughed at my rambling.

He looked at me and kissed me, to then pull away and hug me close to him, "I'm so glad that I fell in love with you and married you." He whispered.

I snuggled closer into his chest, "I'm glad that your mine." I whispered back.
