Before it's too late... (Fred Weasley)

Chapter 36: Are you two still alive?

Luckily Lydia never confronted me about me acting weird when the twins were over.

Another a few months passed, and Cho just wrote me a letter informing me that Katie was cursed.

It is true. We're living in dark times.

One evening deatheaters destroyed multiple shops in Diagon Alley and Lydia started to worry and I can understand.

We only left the house if it was necessary.

"Y/N darling, can you get some meat we ran out" Lydia asked me at dinner "But please be careful!"

"Sure, Lydia no problem" I assured the woman

"Also, Rolf is gonna arrive soon and stay with us remember?"

"I do I am looking forward to it" we quickly finished up when we heard a knock on the door

"Rolf my boy! It's so good to see you" Lydia hugged the young still standing outside

"Y/N lovely to see you again" the boy greeted me with a hug

"Nice to see you too Rolf! Sorry I have to get some stuff but see you around" I told him and waved at Lydia before leaving

"Take care" Rolf screamed after me

The shop was on the other end of Diagon Alley, so it was quite a walk.

I kept my wand in my hand at all time prepared myself for literally anything.

But then I heard a scream

"You look rather nice, girl! Too bad but I feel like taking some revenge on someone" I heard a man

"No! Please I didn't do anything! HELP" the girl screamed with the man coming closer to her

The man turned around for a split second and when I saw his face shivers were running over my back. The man was Fenrir Greyback a searched deatheater.

I heard the girl starting to cry and I decided to step in

"Hey, get off of her!" I screamed at the man

"Like a little girl like you could do anything about" Greyback just ignored me

"STUPEFY" I screamed at him and he fell back.

I ran over to the girl and grabbed her hand "Come on" I told her dragging her into a pub that I knew was safe

"Thank you so much! I just wanted to grab some stuff and I forgot my wand" she explained "I owe you something"

"It's fine" I answered

"No honestly! Do you like butterbeer?" I nodded "Hey two butterbeers" she told some waiter

"You really don't have- "

"I do! I could have died out there! Now come on and have drink with me"

We talked for a few hours about nothing too specific, but I knew that she wasn't a deatheater or something familiar. I had the feeling I knew her, but I couldn't figure out why.

When we left the pub, it was completely dark outside.

"Oh no I have to go down Diagon Alley completely" I pointed out

"You can sleep at my place for the night! The shop it right around the corner"

"Really? I don't know"

"Oh, come on now relax" she started walking

We reached the shop. I couldn't figure which one it was because the lights were out, but it was surprising that it wasn't completely destroyed
