Left Behind

Chapter 23

I woke up early to meet up with Luna. I walked down to the kitchen and saw Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen making breakfast. It was a much bigger kitchen then what we all are used to. Mrs. Weasley was moving around looking busy. I made a noise and Mrs. Weasley looked at me with a smile and asked,

"What are you doing up early?"

"I am going to visit Luna today. She is worried about her father. So, I told her I would stop over." I told Mrs. Weasley.

She nodded and gave me a plate. I thanked her and sat down. Right then Bill and Charlie came down. They both gave their mother a kiss on the check. I thought that was sweet. They love their mother so much. They sat down right across of me. We ate in silence. Mr. Weasley come down quickly. He was in his work clothes. I spoke up and said,

"Late Mr. Weasley?"

He nodded and said,

"Be careful Hermione. Keep in contact while you are away."

I nodded and said,

"Of course Mr. Weasley. You do the same."

Charlie and Bill looked at me confused. I smiled to them and said,

"I am going to visit Luna and then a few other people to make sure they are alright."

"That is sweet of you. Are you going to be back for Christmas? "Bill asked.

"Of course. I wouldn't miss it!" I reassured him.

He nodded and I got up to leave. I turned to look at them and said,

"If you don't get word from me by Christmas then you know I am in trouble."

Mrs. Weasley gave me this look and I went over and gave her a hug. She stroked my hair and said,

"You be careful and keep in contact with us. If I don't hear from you every other day. Then I am going to worry. Please be careful! "

"Mrs. Weasley I will come back to you all. I will keep in contact. I promise. " I tried to reassure her.

Mrs. Weasley is such a caring person. She is like another mother tome. She has been there for me through everything. She made me feel like family. I feIt bad that she has to go through all of this. I looked over to Bill and Charlie.

I walked over to the wind and looked out onto the snow fall. I could only think about what Harry and Ron was doing. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see that everyone else was awake. Fred and George smiled to me and said,

"Were you going to say bye?"

I glared at them and gave them a hug. Ginny was next. She gave me a hug and told me to give my love to Luna. I nodded and then went to give Fleur a hug.

"Come and visit the cottage. Bill and I would love you over." Fleur said.

I nodded and then gave Bill a hug. He squeezed me and whispered,

"You are always safe there. Just to hid out."

I nodded and stood in front of Charlie. He smiled to me and I just engulfed into his arms. We just stood there like this for a little bit. I took a breath in. I looked up at Charlie and he whispered to me,

"You come back to me."

I nodded and finally let go. I looked at him in his eyes. There was a lot of concern in his eyes and then I looked at everyone else. They had a different types of emotions. Mrs. Weasley spoke up and asked,

"Do you have to go? You can stay here where it is safe."

"I have to do this. There are people out there that does not have a safe place and I want to give them that safety." I explained.
