Chapter 14
__________
Author’s note:
This was a hard one to come through. I know the last three times I said these I ended up with the three longest chapters but this time is true: this will be a short chapter (When I wrote this before I had to go back later and change the note, but not this time, this time is the truth).
Also, I don’t own anything, just the plot, don’t sue.
And just a reminder:
“Character talking”
“Character thinking or using telepathy ”
{Character “talking” or “using telepathy” in parceltongue}

Molly Weasley felt the tug of the portkey and landed in a richly furnished room, which was not what she was expecting. She was expecting a small, humid, dark cell where she would be thrown with her children and left there with their injures unattended until they decide on how to dispose or torture them.
She was very surprised when nothing of the sort happened. They were greeted by two med-witches who took orders from a very attentive professor Snape placing George and Ron in immaculate white beds while she and Fred received a dose of calming drought each. Then they were allowed to sit and watch the preliminary exams before they were taken next door in to a sitting room where they were told they could wait for news on the boys conditions.
“Maybe this is a very expensive hospital and Harry arranged for us to came here” she thought.
She and Fred stayed there for almost ten minutes before the door on the other side of the room opened. Lifting her head Molly saw a well dressed woman bringing a red head girl by the hand. It actually took her a few seconds to recognise her own daughter.
“Oh! The calming draught did take effect, that’s nice”
Ginny sat by her mother on the sofa, shivering. Molly absented minded put one arm around her daughter, not noticing Malfoy and Avery, who were just coming in the room, bowing before a strange looking man at the corner and begin talking amongst themselves.
******
Harry was sitting on his bed reading a book when he heard a soft know at the window. An owl he had never seen before was there with a note attached to her claw. He quickly opened the window letting her in and grabbed the note.
Harry,
Big party. You better came this time or else.
No excuses will be accepted.
See you, little brother.
There was no signature, but Harry knew the handwriting and the real meaning of the note. Something went wrong with the Weasleys, big time. Something that needed his attention and he was needed in person. He was not supposed to let anyone stop him.
“Merlin, the attack… someone is hurt… RON” and in a heartbeat Harry was out of the bedroom under his invisibility cloak, locking the door and putting a silence spell so anybody looking for him would assume he was sleeping inside, and out of the front door, from where he could apparate strait in to the twins shop.
There were two Death Eaters waiting for him. They bowed their heads and handed him a cup without saying a word. Harry knew it was a portkey the moment he laid eyes on it. He took the cup and felt the usual tug behind his navel. His head was spinning with the rapid pace everything was happening, in one moment he was sitting in his room waiting for some news, any news, and a second later he was being taken… to his grandfather.
Voldemort stood in a large and luxurious sitting room. Lucius and Avery, the man who had almost killed buckbeak, were talking to him in hushed tones. Voldemort simply nodded at Harry, who nodded back, quickly scanning the room for Ron.
Molly Weasley was sitting in a sofa holding Ginny in one arm, Trelaway was sitting in a chair by her side petting her hand and Fred (or George) was pacing in front of a door, throwing worried looks at the three man talking on the other side of the room. When he saw Harry he hurried to his side.
“Harry, mate, you came!”
“Of course, I came. Where is Ron?”
“In that room with Snape and some med-witch… Harry, did you notice You-know-who standing right over there?” George, or Fred, asked pulling Harry by the arm.
“George…”
“Fred. George is in there too, he got hit”
“Sorry. Fred. It’s ok. We are safe in here. He won’t hurt anybody and there is a lot more going on that you could possibly dream about it. I promise I’ll explain everything later. Now tell me how is Ron and George”
“Well” Fred said running his hand through his hair tiredly “George got hit on his leg, I have no idea by what kind of curse. He was in a lot of pain but Snape is drowning him in potions, so he should be ok… We just don’t know about Ron”
“What do you mean you just don’t know? Fred, what happened to Ron?” Harry was yelling now, grabbing Fred by the front of his robes and shaking him until Lucius and Avery took him by his arms and held him still while Voldemort put his arm around a very shaky Fred Weasley.
“It’s ok, young mister Weasley. Go sit by your mother and let me handle Harry here”
Shocked by the Dark Lord’s touch and all the events of the day, Fred couldn’t bring himself to say anything. He walked over to his mother, who was still strangely calm through this whole thing, and sat by Ginny’s side. The fact that they were still wandless in the presence of the Dark Lord didn’t help any of them to calm themselves.
“Harry” said Voldemort forcing Harry to look at him “Severus and two very powerful med-witches are treating your boyfriend and his brother as we speak, they are doing everything that is possible and the best thing that we can do is to remain calm. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Tom” said Harry calming himself, there was nothing he could accomplish by force right now “Where is Shadow?”
“In the room. She refused to leave Mr. Weasley’s side” Voldemort answered with a chuckle, signalling for his Death Eaters to release Harry “Let’s offer some comfort to our dear Mrs. Weasley, shall we?”
“Yes, of course” Harry let Voldemort guide him to where the Weasleys were sitting and kneeled in front of Mrs. Weasley, who let go of Trelaway to hold his hand, pulling him closer.
“Oh, Harry, they got you too?”
“What? Oh! No, Mrs. Weasley nobody got us! We are safe here, I promise. Thrust me, we are safe”
“Safe? But, Harry…” the woman said gesturing towards the room where two of her children were healing from severe injures.
“I know, but it’s ok. We are safe and as soon as we know how George and Ron are doing I’ll explain everything”
The door leading to the room where Ron and George were being treated opened to let a very serious looking Snape came in to the room. Harry and the Weasleys held their breath.
“Severus, how are the young men?” asked the Dark Lord before anybody could speak.
“Well, Mr. George Weasley’s leg will recover completely; there may be a mark, but nothing big. Mr. Ronald Weasley, I’m afraid, is still the same. We manage to stabilise his condition but he hasn’t regain conscious. You may go inside, not everybody at the same time and I do advise you to be quiet at all times and let them rest now. They have been through a lot”
“Mrs. Weasley” said the Dark Lord, making the woman look at him “after you see you sons I would like a word with you in regards of what happened today. I assure you it will not go unpunished”
Molly nodded and walked in to the next room, taking Ginny with her. Fred stayed behind and as soon as the door closed behind them he turned around and faced Harry angrily.
“What the hell is going on in here? Why are you all comfortable with them? Ever since when do you side with death eaters? Why did you attack us? And why the hell is my mother not making a scene and yelling at everybody?” he kept coming toward Harry until he was restrained by Avery and forced to sit down again.
“Perhaps is time we have a little chat” said Voldemort sitting down at his side. Fred gulped and looked at him, thinking in how much trouble he got himself in to this time.
“Your mother, Mr. Weasley, have received a large dose of a very powerful calming draught because we are all very much aware of her temper and she just had two sons injured. What went on was an attempt on your brother’s life by Dumbledore, you’ll get prove of that later” said the Dark Lord raising his hand to stop Fred from bursting in to another tirade “Harry in comfortable because he knows no one here will cause any of you harm, my people just saved your lives if you haven’t notice and as for taking sides, it would be wise to wait until after having all the facts before start making accusations. I believe that should answer all your questions for now, anything else will have to wait for a much more formal meeting. Has Mr. Weasley senior been contacted yet?”
“Yes, my lord, he will be arriving shortly. He still doesn’t know to whom the house belongs”
“Good. It’s probably best this way. We shall have this conversation on the dinning room”.
“As you wish, my lord” said Avery bowing before he left the room.
“Harry” asked Fred “what is going on?”
“Fred, I think we better sit down, we still have a few minutes before we are allowed to see Ron and George anyway. I’ll try to make this as short as I can” said Harry before he launched himself in a condensed as possible report of the events that had taken place since his birthday. His encounter with Voldemort, his gift, the bond, how he found out about Pettigrew’s real betrayal, Dumbledore’s plan, Hermione’s part on it, the discovery of his father and the discovery of his grandfather (even though he hadn’t accepted that one yet) “and believe me, I don’t know the half of it, from what I can tell there is plenty more going on. The only good thing is that at least Voldemort seems to be willing to tell me everything, but still…”
Fred was dumbstruck. He knew Harry’s life was complicated and that his adventures were always a bit (ok, a lot) more dangerous than the ones he and George had got themselves in to. He actually had envied Ron for getting himself involved in them, but now he was right in the middle of one of Harry’s famous adventurous… and he would give anything to go back to the envy right now.
“What do we do now?”
“We wait for news on Ron and George and as soon as your father gets here we join everyone at the whatever room they said they would be and get all the facts together… then we strike back and make sure they hurt as much as we do” said Harry getting up and walking to the door of the room where Ron was unconscious. He was tired of waiting for news on his boyfriend, it was time to make things happen once and for all.

Ok, not as short as I though it would end up. Let’s see how fast I can put the next one on line.
The Reviews:
Eloradanin - Thank you. I’m working through some computers/work/life in general problems that are slowing me down for the moment, but I’ll keep writing. Promise. This story will have a ‘complete’ added to its summary someday soon (I hope, it keeps growing out of my control).
Carolina - You know, I feel the same way about Percy (treacherous little twit)! Tks for reading, tell me how you like from now on.
Priss368 - I’ll try to up date faster, but I can’t promise anything (read above), my computer is better though, maybe it will help. And…
Don’t worry about Ginny, she is just working her old traumas.
Snape did good, didn’t he? I love family!Snape
And wormtail have just been prevented from telling Dumbledore about Trelaway, but I’ll work this one better because I never made that one clear. I think I’ll make it come out during his interrogation. Yeah! That will work.
Everybody: Keep asking questions. I want to know if I’m being able to explain everything. Don’t want to leave anybody in the dark (unless is for plot purposes
