Chapter 16: Confrontation
Waking up I felt a hand holding mine and something was on my legs. I opened my eyes slowly and saw James lying on my legs and my hand in his hand. I smiled. I tried to move my legs because I couldn't feel them. Despite my gentleness James woke up and looked up.
"George! You are up! I am so sorry! I don't know why I did this. First the thing with Logan then that with Stephanie. I was just... I didn't want to hurt you. I mean you know Logan. I just wanted to protect you! And that with Stephanie... it was just... you didn't talk with me and Fred and Louis could barely stand me and then she came... and she was nice and understanding. I am so sorry! The prank Fred and Louis did showed me that you can't talk with her! It was awful! She was always just talking about what an attention seeking girl you were and how she felt. It was horrible!" James ranted a little while what a self-centred girl Stephanie was. I knew all this before but it was nice to hear it from James. I raised my arm and James stopped talking so abruptly he swallowed his on spit and started coughing. I took my wand and pointed it at him and thought of the charm I needed. As his breathing ways were free he looked at me confused. There I remembered I stopped him in his ranting. I looked at him. He looked scared. Scared that I would just shake my head. But I nodded and smiled a little bit. His whole face lit up and he hugged me so hard I couldn't breathe.
"I am so sorry George! I hope you can forgive me." I did this already haven't I? I mean I let him hug me. Of course I couldn't do much, he was so much stronger than me. No I was the one who couldn't breathe because he pulled me even closer. I started half heartily to push him away but again I was too weak. In this moment the doors opened and closed itself again. James let go and looked at the door. Nobody was there. He looked at me and in this moment I got lifted up in the air. I let out a silent screech and tried to see what had lifted me up. Fred and Louis pulled the Invisibility Cloak of them and grinned at me. Louis had me in his arms. I put my hands on my hips in my best imitation from Molly and Ginny. Louis let me down but didn't stop grinning.
"Now we are together again! At least! The four Praedators are united again!" Fred said with a pompous voice.
"Shhhhh!" Louis hissed. The light in Hannah's office went on and Louis and Fred had to hide under the cloak again. James and I jumped in bed (James on his chair) and acted as if we would sleep.
"Who is there?" Hannah's tired voice came from the now open door. After a few seconds I could hear the door closing. That was close!
"You can't just scream in the Hospital Wing when it is 3 am in the morning!" Louis chided Fred silently. It was 3 am? But when I went to bed… When DID I went to bed? James was now sitting in his chair and talked silently with Fred and Louis.
"Did you hear what her brother said in the end?" Louis asked James in this moment.
"No he just said the sickness would come back and that's why she can't speak but then she ran away and I followed her of course!" James answered. I knocked at my night table to get the attention of the boys. They looked at me. I showed with my hands to the door and then to signalled that I was tired.
"Oh of course! Sorry that we waked you up!" Louis said and he and Fred said goodbye and wanted to go when I pushed James to them.
"What is it George?" I pushed him again in the direction of the exit. He looked hurt for a moment and then nodded.
"Ok we will see you tomorrow, or more today!" He said hugged me a last time and went with the others. Finally alone I could sort my thoughts. I had to find out what I was and why I healed so fast. With this in mind I made my way to the bathroom. This time I transfigured my hairpin in a knife and cut my palm. The blood came out. I let it drop on the counter and after seconds my blood disappeared again and the cut healed, leaving nothing than the blood drops on the counter. I examined the blood. Like the last time you could see that it was thicker and kind of blue. But now that the blood didn't went away I remembered what it was. I had seen it only on pictures. Fortunately! It was unicorn blood! But why did my blood looked like unico… And the unicorn blood was good for healing potions. Didn't know that unicorns can heal themselves. It makes sense somehow. Lots of really strong healing potions needed a little bit of unicorn blood. But I remembered that if the wound is too big they did die. But how was that even possible? I mean how did I have unicorn blood?! I wasn't an Animagus. Wait a minute! My hair! I looked in the mirror and saw my normal hair. The chestnut brown with SILVER WHITE strains! Silver white! It was the same shade as the unicorn fur! Oh my god and the silver drops in my eyes. Why didn't I noticed this earlier! Because it's absurd! Unicorns are very magical creatures! And …
"George? Where are you?" Hannah! I quickly washed the blood away and transfigured the knife again in a pin. I walked out of the bathroom and looked at Hannah.
"Oh you were only going on the toilet. Did you send James away?" I just nodded and went back in my bed.
"Well, sleep tight! You know where you can find me if you need me." She smiled and went back in her office. Too exhausted to think about my problems I fell asleep, promising myself to find out what was going on next morning.
I woke up when I heard voices arguing outside of the Infirmary.
"You can't see her! She is too fragile now!" I actually snorted at that. I and fragile! Then I remembered my problem was before the unicorn thingy.
"Please! I have to talk to her!" That was Adam. Oh just let him talk! With that I swung myself out of bed and walked to the door and opened it. Adam and the boys looked at my in shock. I just pointed in and walked back to my bed.
"Don't you want to change?" Fred asked me. There I noticed that I still wore the things from yesterday. Well I can't change that now so I just shook my head and gestured to the chairs in front of my bed. Adam sat down but Fred, Louis and James remained standing. I almost laughed at this. They were really like big brothers trying to protect their little sister. I looked at Adam.
"She wants you to talk." Louis said to him. Adam nodded. If he found it creepy that the boys knew me so well he just let it slip away.
"George, I am sorry what happened yesterday. I should have known that this information wasn't good. I am really sorry. I just wanted you to know that we maybe know what is happening with you." I looked at him sceptical. Why does he even know what is happening with me?
"Why do you even know what happened to her?" James asked. Sometimes it's weird how good he knows me. Adam looked uncomfortable.
"Why do you know this?!" Louis said with a low voice. Adams started squirming.
"Well, you know… the whole school knows that you can't talk… and well…" He stopped. Fred looked at him with his eyes in slits.
"So…?" Fred said.
"Oh you know… Fiona wrote dad that someone managed to shut your mouth. That you can't say a thing and she don't know who to say 'Thank you' to." The boys looked outraged but I was kind of calm. I know that she doesn't like me. And I know she likes to humiliate me. Of course Fiona would be happy to see that I can't speak. But still, that makes no sense. Why would Adam come from London just to say that he MAYBE know what is wrong with me?
"And why would you come here and say that you maybe now what is wrong with her?" Ok, seriously now it freaks me out. How does James know me so well?!
"You see my girlfriend Emma got sick and we had to go to the hospital. The one healer who was the healer from mother said there was something new and asked me if you were ok. He asked if you not sick or if something unusual happened with you. I remembered what Fiona had written and said to the healer that you can't talk. He looked surprised and asked to see you. That's why I am going to bring him to you. I am sorry for the years but I will not let you die." Adam looked really determined now. But I don't want to go to St. Mungos! So I will die so what? Lots of people die young!
"Do you know what will happen to her there?" Louis asked.
"Not exactly but he, the healer, gave me a little image." I looked at the boys. That was really accurate, thanks! Well he can't take me so I should have time to decide.
"And he said I should bring you as fast as possible." Well, that throws my plan over.
"You can't just take her! She has to decide for herself!" Fred exclaimed.
"Not exactly…" What I don't have the power to decide?!
"Father gave me authorisation to bring you out of school and to St. Mungos." Now I was shocked. Nick finally made a decision for me. He just said Adam could take me. Isn't that a nice father? The boys looked outraged.
"After 15 years he finally thought, that he can just show up and order her around?" Fred said. Now Adam got a little angry. I could see that.
"And who are you? Why do you think can you just talk to me like this? You are just little boys." And before the boys could respond he turned to me. Determination showing through his eyes.
"Pack your things and meet me in half an hour in the Entrance Hall." And with that he went out the door and leaving me dumbstruck behind. I tore my gaze away from the doors and looked at the boys. They looked exactly like I felt. Totally and utterly shocked.
"He… he can't…" Fred stuttered. And then something happened I thought I would never witness. Louis lost his control.
"HE CAN'T DO THIS! HE CAN'T JUST GIVE YOU 30 MINUTES TO PACK AND SAY GOODBYE! DAMN! HE CAN'T JUST TAKE YOU! I WILL NOT LET YOU GO, GEORGE!" And with that he ran out of the doors and let us three looking after him. I realised then that 5 minutes were already up. Jumping up I grabbed my wand and ran to Hannah's office. Just seconds after I knocked she opened the door. I hugged her and waved a little Goodbye.
"George? What is going on?" Hannah asked. I waved my wand at my head and my thoughts were written in the stars again.
"I have to go. I will miss you and you could visit me maybe?"
"Go? Where do you have to go?" She asked and I saw that she wouldn't want to believe what I was saying.
"To St. Mungos." And with that I hugged her one last times. Pulled Fred and James out of their Stupor by grabbing both of their hands and pulled them into a run. If I wanted to say goodbye to everyone I had to be quick. Out of the Hospital Wing I turned to the boys. They were both white and looked like they have seen Professor Nott dancing naked. I shook them and pointed over my head.
"Can you get everyone to meet me in 15 minutes in the Great Hall?" I didn't wait for their answer and took off running to the library. I saw Linda working in the back corner of the books and stormed in. She turned around to scold whoever was running in her holy rooms but as she saw me and my face she run to me.
"George! What is going on?" I think everyone is asking this nowadays.
"I have to go to St. Mungos! I will miss you and just wanted to say goodbye." And with that I hugged her too and then run to the common room. As I looked at my clock I saw that I had 10 minutes to pack. I couldn't believe my father and my brother. They could at least give me a day to say everyone that I was going. No it has to be half an hour! I saw Sofia sitting there and she was filing her nails. As she saw me she just waited that I gave her the hand wave I would give instead of the password. She nodded and let me in. I ignored the stares I got when I ran up to my dorm. As I was at my bed I pulled out my trunk and waved my wand. All my clothes went up and out of their places and flew over in my trunk. As everything was in place I realised that I was still in my clothes from yesterday and they were totally dirty. Now I understood, why my classmates were staring at me. I can't change so that has to be it. I looked if I had anything and then saw Fluffy lying on my bed watching me. Oh no! I can't let him stay here. I have to get the boys care for him. I clapped in my hands and he jumped down and followed me to the Entrance Hall. My brother wasn't there yet but James and Fred had managed it to get everyone I would like to say bye there. As Rose and Roxie saw me they stormed up and hugged me. I could feel their tears on my shoulders.
"I will miss you, and we will visit you on Christmas." Roxie said.
"She won't be there so long!" Rose exclaimed and looked at Roxanne sharply.
"She will be back in a week or two." I looked down. That was another question. When would I be coming out? They let me go and I saw Lily coming. She wasn't crying. She looked more outraged then sad. She put her hand on my shoulder and looked me in the eyes.
"You will come back. I don't care if I have to kidnap you but you will be back here at New Year!" I just nodded and then she hugged me too. I looked at Fluffy and knew that Lily could use him. Him and Scor.
"Lily? Could you take care of Fluffy while I am gone?" She nodded and the rest of the Weasley clan hugged me.
"Are you ready?" I heard my brother's voice behind me. I turned around and held one finger up. I walked to James and Fred. I was wondering where Louis was but as I asked the boys, they couldn't answer. I hugged both of them and was then pulled to the doors by my brother. One last wave and the doors shut themselves. We made our way to the gates where we could apparate. As we passed them Adam looked down to me.
"Hold on tight." I grabbed his arm and looked a last time at Hogwarts. My first home I ever had. And I would have to leave it for I don't know how long. And then everything went black and I was on my way to the hospital.
