Enchantment (George Weasley x Reader)

Fade Out Again

Y/N carefully watched the toad in pink, her brow arched as an evil smirk painted her face as she met the toad's gaze after watching her best friends take flight. 

--

June 1996

Harry once more had a vision, this time about Sirius being tortured in the Department of Mysteries because what Voldemort was after. Harry tried to reach Sirius through the fireplace and the elf confirmed Sirius was not around. It increased Harry's anxiety about where Sirius was. 

"Y/N must know about this." Hermione said.

"NO! Don't tell Y/N! We're not certain yet!" Harry cried out angrily. 

Just before Hermione could reason out, the toad caught them and the Inquisitorial Squad got the other DA members, too. 

Y/N was oblivious about all of this as she was stuck with Snape for an urgent 'matter' concerning the essence of Dittany. Snape knew Y/N did not steal it and Y/N was unaware of the said accusation. However, her instinct kept telling her something was wrong and Snape was just trying to steer her away from something.. When Umbridge called for Snape's attention, the professor hauled her from her seat and dragged her to Umbridge's study where she was shocked to see Harry and the DAs captured.

Y/N gripped her wand tightly inside her robe before coming in but Snape covered her to ensure she'd not be included in the party. Then, disappointing Umbridge by being unable to provide Veritaserum, he turned to take Y/N back to his office.

"Padfoot!" Harry yelled, "He's got Padfoot in the room where it's hidden!"

Y/N whipped her head, blood draining from her face as she panicked as she exchanged looks with Harry. She was about to react, however, Snape gripped her wrist so tight Y/N already felt pins and needles on the tip of his fingers as Umbridge questioned him.

"I don't... know." He muttered simply, walking away.

Y/N tried to compose herself but her whole body trembled in fear for her father as Snape dragged her towards McGonagall.

"We have to find him!" She cried, pulling from Snape's iron grip and McGonagall was quick to rescue.

"We will find him." she reassured, taking the kettle which was once used as a Portkey. "In the meantime, you'll stay at the Burrow."

"But — "

McGonagall was quick to grab the Portkey and Y/N as they travelled to the Burrow, quickly alerting Molly and asking her to keep an eye on Y/N. Then, the professor went back to Hogwarts leaving Y/N under Molly's guidance.

"Molly, please..." Y/N begged, almost kneeling before to allow her to find her father.

"He is safe, dear. You have to stay here. Please." Molly said, pulling her up and patting her head. "We can't risk it. It's too dangerous."

Molly was able to alert the twins who then apparated, quickly rushing towards Y/N who could not even lift her teacup without spilling it.

"Y/N," George gently called and sat beside her to steady her hand. "let's just stay here, okay?"

"NO! He's all I have! I can't let anything bad happen to him. Please Georgie..." she sobbed, one hand clutching on his shirt. "Please, Georgie. We have to find him."

George enclosed his arms around her tightly as she cried her heart out, face buried in his chest as he tried to ease her storm.

"I am not leaving you. We'll wait. He'll be okay."

Fred watched his brother tending Y/N as Molly advised them to not let Y/N out of their sight which Fred agreed with. Molly was firm with her command to literally watch Y/N while they were still waiting for news. Molly in turn tried getting more information about what was happening, especially after seeing Ron and Ginny in Mortal Peril in her clock.
