"How is your girlfriend doing, Draco?" Greyback said over the quite Death-Eater meeting. Draco's face became stony. He was absolutely scared in this cold room, which reminded him nothing of his home anymore.
Everyone looked him like a treat and Celyn's words, echoed clearer than ever into his head. He felt even more drown on his own misery. Draco fixed the collar of his blouse awkwardly, so no one, especially that stupid snake, to not notice his blood back necklace, which he tended to wear and pray upon constantly those days. He wished for Celyn to be fine, and Fred protecting her finer.
"Oh, yes. Dear Draco..." Voldemort spoke with snaky, eerie voice over him, "I heard that this werewolf girl stopped you from acting on your mission." He viciously smirked over him. Snape turned slightly his head and eyed Draco from the corner of his socket. "Do you want to share anything with us?"
Draco didn't speak, he simply lowered his eyes. "Ugh, love. Young stupid love, is it then?" Voldemort continued and Draco quickly nodded his head negatively. "Then, would you mind explaining your actions, Draco?" Voldemort said now and this time there was not space for doubt that he was mad.
"First, your niece," The dark lord added towards Narcissa and Bellatrix, "who married that filthy mudblood werewolf and now Draco!"
"He is not in love with that girl, my Lord." Narcissa rushed to fill in. "He used her and her knowledge on runes. Her good looks on the Professors, as well, only to fix the closet... He poisoned her every day."
"You did?" Voldemort asked back with great satisfaction. "Interesting... But I don't like when my followers are not capable of doing things on their own." He commented and half of the Death Eaters fell in light laughter. Some of them pointed on Lucius like he was the original useless on this family.
"He did it so not to arouse suspicions, my Lord." Lucius sharply said now.
"And Tonks is not niece of ours, my Lord," Bellatrix cried over the outpouring of mirth. "We — Narcissa and I — have never set eyes on our sister since she married the Mudblood. This brat has nothing to do with either of us, nor any beast she marries."
"What do you say, Draco?" Voldemort turned to his original target, and his tone was evoking that his mind was planning something up, "Will you babysit their cubs? Or do you prefer yours with the werewolf girl? I'm sure her brother would love to see her on our side."
Draco breathed angrily out but decided to keep his face straight. His mother was clenching his hand scared and warning under the table. The other Death Eaters looked mischievous over him, some even tried to mimic a wolf's bite, which enraged Voldemort, who shushed them immediately and kept his conversation where he left it, before Greyback talked.
Meanwhile...
"Do you think they will close the school?" Celyn asked Ginny. The two girls were sitting quietly on the Burrow living room chatting in general. Ginny had informed Celyn of everything she missed out on the second half of the past year. Like her relationship with Harry, who she was madly in love.
"No. But I don't think any of us will go." Ginny replied sincere.
"Well, you won't go to school." Fred said over them both as he sat beside Celyn.
"And that's final." George said and sat on the empty armchair opposite of them.
"I think Hogwarts is going to give a big battle this year. Why not have people in it?" Celyn questioned serious over the two of them.
"I was crazy and divided about you going to school last year, Celyn. I'm not letting you go now." Fred said strictly over her as he handed her a piece of bread.
"We just ate lunch." She pointed out to him.
"And you still need to get your strength back." He marked out.
"Freddie, I'm full." She softly turned his offer down. He pouted like a cute disappointed baby, but decided not to push her more. He left the sandwich on the table nearby and wrapped his arm around her, making her lean on him.
"Is tomorrow the day?" Celyn absently asked next. Tomorrow the order of Phoenix had decided to take Harry from his house. The mission was more complex than the potion of Felix Felicius, but they believed it would work perfectly. Well, Moody believed it would work perfectly.
"Yes. Moody, Lupin and Tonks will arrive in the evening. Hagrid and the rest in the morning." George answered and took a long sip from his refreshing drink.
"I want to come too." Celyn breathed strongly out.
"I want too." Ginny assured added as well.
"You're not going anywhere!" Fred and George scolded both of them.
"I'm adult now. You can't keep saying what I can and what I cannot do." Celyn responded to Fred mostly. Her powerful brown eyes fell to his burning light blue ones.
"This mission is more than dangerous. And I can't let anything happen to you. What if Voldemort or some other Death Eater attack you? Kidnap you?" Fred argued calmly with her.
"I'm more than capable to defend myself, Fred."
"I know that very well. Still, I will feel more calm if you stay safe and secure at home." He almost whispered his last words. "Please, love."
"Ugh, okay... I hate ifs." She murmured out and Fred smiled softly over her as he planted a kiss just above her eyebrow.
"How is the shop going?" She said after some moments. She grabbed Fred's drink out of his hand and drunk some of it as well. It was alcohol, she slightly cringed, but Fred with George chuckled freely.
"Good. There is not much folk buying those days, so Sebastian and Helena manage it around just fine." George replied to her and sipped a little more of his drink.
That moment sounds of apparition echoed from outside and the four of them stood up ready to fight. Mrs. Weasley came out of the kitchen and Bill from upstairs. Fleur close behind him.
Mrs. Weasley got out first, Bill beside her. Outside there was standing Lupin, Tonks and Moody. They said their silly secret passphrases and Mrs. Weasley welcomed them home.
"We got married!" Tonks leaped upon the girls and took them into a tight hug.
"And you are..." Celyn breathed out goodie surprised, as she smelled something different to her. Tonks smiled even bigger.
"Yes. I'm expecting."
"Congratulations!" Ginny and Celyn said happily over her and Lupin. He broke into a soft smile, but not much to make Celyn believe he was actually enthusiastic with the whole idea.
"Wait—and you are going to the mission?" Celyn threw a serious look over Tonks and then Lupin. He raised his shoulders slightly and put on a blank expression on.
"I have been to more difficult situations, Celyn. Don't worry."
"How can I not?" She replied, "Let me get in Tonks position." She volunteered and Fred looked concern over her.
"Tonks knows what she has to do, Celyn. Stand by." Moody strictly said over her. He was Tonks' and her trainer. Ginny poked Celyn with her elbow and the two girls rolled their eyes frustrated.
