Scars: a Fred Weasley love story

Chapter 1

—-Flashback—-

I hear the screams from all around me. People being tortured and killed for information. People going insane or blacking out because they won't say anything. I am being tortured for information the cruciatis curse to be specific. My screams get worse as it continues. I start clawing to try to get away. Finally I black out after still not giving up any information.

—- end of flashback—-

I wake up in a cold sweat on the side of the road. I am all alone my family is all dead and I ran away from the orphanage I was in. They were abusive and we didn't get anything to eat. I sat staring up at the stars the only thing that is constant in my life. The sky starts to lighten and the sun comes up. I start packing up camp since it is time for me to move again. As I am about to leave someone appears in front of me and says, "Fallon, wait, I need to talk to you." I take a look at him and see he is really old with a long white beard he is wearing robes and is holding a wand I realize who it is. "Hi Professor Dumbledore, what are you doing here?"

"I know a family of witches and wizards who will take you in until the next school year starts if you would like."

"Is this family nice? And do they have any other children?"

"The family is one of the nicest families I know and they have 7 children. I think you may have already met 2 of them. They are in your year and they are also in Gryffindor. Would you like to come and meet them?" Dumbledore asks.

"Sure. Why are they taking me in?"

"I thought it was time for you to get of the streets and the family will take you shopping to get everything you need for the coming up school year." He holds out his arm to me and says, "We are going to apparate to get to their house. This may leave you feeling a little sick." I grab his arm and I start to feel like I am getting dragged through a pipe. Suddenly, the feeling is over and I stop to catch my breath. When I look up I see a house that is tall and leaning slightly to the side. "This is The burrow, the Weasley's home. They will be the family taking care of you until school starts."

I hear a door open then close and then I see a woman with shocking red hair run over and hug me. I hesitantly hug her back. "I'm Molly Weasley, dear. You must be Fallon Nighthaven?" The woman who I guess is Mrs. Weasley asks.

"Yes Ma'am." I hesitantly reply.

"Such good manners, can you teach some of my kids?" She jokingly asks, "But none of that, call me Molly, dear."

"Ok. Thank you Molly."

Dumbledore said, "I have a few things I need to do. Your things are already here."

"Thank you Professor."

"Your welcome," He replied with the twinkle in his eyes I had come to get used to. He disapparated leaving me alone with Molly.

"Let's get you  inside, dear," She suggested as she started to walk towards the door into the house. I followed her in and saw my few possessions sitting in the corner. Mrs.Weasley called up the stairs, "Fred, George, Ginny, Ron, Percy, come downstairs."

I heard footsteps stomping down the stairs. The first people I saw were obviously twins. Then, the girl came down followed by a boy who was shorter then the twins and then another boy carrying a quill in his hands. "This is Fred and George," She said pointing to each in turn.

"I'm Fred and that's George you can tell by how much handsomer I look."

I laugh and say, "Maybe but I bet he's smarter."

"Haha, someone finally gets me," George says sticking his tongue out at Fred.

"Anyway, this is Ginny, Ron, and Percy," She said pointing to the girl, then the boy who came downstairs after her, then the boy with the quill.

"Hi, I'm Fallon...Fallon Nighthaven. Nice to meet you all."

Percy leaves to go back upstairs and Fred comes up to me and says, "Don't worry, It's not you he is an annoying git." I laugh and he continues, "come on I want to show you something."

I look at Molly she says, "Don't worry I will move your things. You will be sharing a room with Ginny. Just get Fred and George to take you there later." I nod and Fred picks me up throwing me over his shoulder and carries me upstairs and into a room that I guess is their room. He holds out a piece of candy with a smirk and asks, "Candy?"

"No. I know you guys are pranksters and this is some kind of pranking candy."

"I guess our reputation proceeds us."

"No, I don't know you. I just so happen to be a prankster myself and recognize the look in your eyes."

"Oh, I see. I will get you someday though."

"I doubt it." I say pushing my hair back a little.

He notices the scars on my face and asks, "How did you get those?"

I pull my hair back into a ponytail so he can see my full face. He looks slightly taken aback by my blind eye and all the scars down the left side of my face. "I was tortured for information by bad people. They are in Azkaban now luckily. They tortured people to madness or sometimes even death. They used the cruciatus curse. Luckily they got caught before they could hurt anyone else. I was in that place for about 2 weeks being tortured everyday."

"Oh. I'm sorry."

"Nothing to do about it now."

"Let's go upstairs and we can show you some of the things we are working on, but don't tell mom."
