One and Only 3 ; George Weasley

"How could you do it?"

Sammy.

"Did you even think about us? About me?"

Please stop talking.

"You were being selfish!"

"What are you yelling for?" Lexi asked when she walked through the door to the room. "Sammy— leave her alone."

"Leave her— what?!" Sammy laughed sarcastically. "Mind your own business, Lex. Your sister didn't try to kill herself."

"Well I don't have a sister." Lexi replied. "But if I did and she tried to take her own life, I wouldn't be yelling at her. I would talk to her and tell her how much I love her."

Silence.

"What are you even doing up here?" Sammy questioned as he folded his arms over his chest. "I thought you were helping grandma bake cookies."

"I was–" Lexi nodded. "But I need Vivi's smart head for something."

At the mention of my name, I turned around to look at her. I raised an eyebrow and nodded for her to go on.

"I think I have a solution to how to save my dad." she said. Sammy unfolded his arms and glanced towards me as I took a step towards our cousin. "I read this book because I wanted to help. I know I've been a bitch and I haven't exactly given him a chance to get to know me. I just couldn't wrap my head around my father being back when I was told he died before I was born. Anyway, I don't want him to die so I was doing research and this book says that we can remove Adrian's soul if my dad gets hurt in a way that can't be fixed. He can live and Adrian can die."

"What?" I frowned. "You mean... Lexi, we can't do that. That's illegal. That's dark magic."

"Wasn't dad hit with dark magic once?" Sammy asked. "His ear."

"And it couldn't be fixed, right?" Lexi asked. "So if we do something similar to my dad, the part of Adrian's soul will die while my dad gets to live."

I took a deep breath, thinking about it. If we were to do it, first of all we had to get permission from the minister. Second of all, we'd have to discuss it with our parents and third of all, we'd have to actually hurt Uncle Fred. Hurt him in a way that couldn't be reversed.

"This is crazy." Sammy said. "What if he accidentally dies?"

"He won't." I said. "Obviously one of the more experienced wizards or witches here will do it and we'll be careful."

"Mum's going to hate this idea." he told me in which I shrugged.

"Not if it saves her best friend."

"Should we take the idea to my dad?" Lexi asked. "And your parents?"

"I think we should." I said. "If it's the only way to help."

Lexi ended up telling everyone about the thing she read and then she apologized to Uncle Fred and she started crying because she really wanted him in her life but she had been afraid of losing him and now there was a chance that she would lose him.

"What if you hit me with the same curse that Snape used on George—" Uncle Fred suggested, looking at mum. "And you hit my ear. Then Georgie and I will be identical again!"

What the...

"Me?" Mum frowned. "You want me to do that? Are you insane?!"

"Oh c'mon. I don't trust George to do it." He responded, causing dad to scoff. He looked offended. "He's going to kill me by accident."

"Wait—" Lexi said. "This means you'll do it?"

"Of course." Uncle Fred smiled and gave her a hug. "Thank you Lexi. You might just have saved my arse."

Uncle Fred then looked towards Aunt Deanne and opened his arm before she joined their hug. They looked like a family, but Aunt Deanne was still unhappily married to Justin who doesn't like us... the Weasley family.

"He want me to use dark magic on him." Mum scoffed, her body turned towards dad. "I can't do that. I can't hurt Fred."

"He don't want me to do it." Dad pouted. "Thinks I'll kill him. That's bullshit. The man left me without him on earth for eighteen years. I want to hurt him."

This chapter was short but I'll try and make the next one longer.
