Part 29 - Miriam's Point of View

I was very scared. I decided to go downstairs. I haven’t heard Ron or Mrs Weasley for a while… I took my mum’s letter, went downstairs and when I entered in the living room, I saw Ron sat on the couch, laughing and eating Bertie Bott’s beans.

Me: Ron! Ron, we have to get out of here… my mum sent me a letter… this woman isn’t your mum…
Ron: I know…

And then I saw Fred and George coming out of the kitchen, with some butter beers.

Me: Fred! George! What are you doing here? And where is Mrs Weasley?

I was very confused now… They started laughing.

Fred: I’m sorry for that *he made a girly voice* “My son must be starving… his girlfriend doesn’t know how to prepare a good meal for him!” *he laughed*
Me: No… it was you!
Fred: Yeah… I hope that you hadn’t cried because of that…
Me: What? Humm… no, of course I didn’t! But I was scared! I thought that you were a Death Eater! And you, Ron? Why didn’t you tell me that it was Fred and George?
Ron: I’m sorry if I didn’t go upstairs, Mimi, but these two didn’t let me…
Me: Don’t worry… but how and why did you get here?
Fred: Well, Miss I-Know-Everything, haven’t you heard about polijuice potion?
Me: Of course I did…
George: So, Fred drank a bit of the bottle we had stolen from Snape last month…
Me: And how did you come in?
George: When you went upstairs, I knocked the door and Fred opened it.
Ron: That was when I discovered that my mum wasn’t my mum…
Fred: And we are here because we really care about you! My mum is in St Mangoust. So, when I drank the potion, George and I took the Knight Bus to your house.
Me: Alright… you know what? You two are…
Fred & George: …completely irresponsible!

We all laughed. Then, I remembered the letter my mum sent me.

Me: We have to go to St Mangoust. My mum sent me this letter…

I showed them the letter. They looked a bit worried.

Ron: I think we must go to St Mangoust immediately!
Me: Yes. But we need to change clothes… we can’t go wearing pyjamas…
Fred: Oh! We brought both of you clean clothes!
Me & Ron: Thanks!

We changed our clothes, went back to the living room and took a bit of Floo Powder. A minute later, we arrived to St Mangoust.

Ron: Fine… now in which floor are them?
Me: Let’s ask the receptionist…

We went towards the receptionist.

Me: Humm… good evening… we are looking for some friends. One of them is called Nymphadora Tonks.
Receptionist: Good evening. You are Miriam, aren’t you?
Me: Yes…
Receptionist: Doctor Joanna, your mum, told me that you were coming. Please, come with me.

Ron, I, Fred and George followed her. She led us towards a little room, on 3rd floor. When we came in, we saw Mrs Weasley and my mum talking. Mrs Weasley got up very quickly and came towards us. She hugged me and Ron.

Mrs Weasley: Oh… my dears… I was so worried about you! Are you alright?
Ron: Yes, mum.
Mrs Weasley: And you, Mimi?
Me: I’m fine too…
Mrs Weasley: Those Death Eaters are disgusting… they wanted to marry Voldemort with a girl like you… I’m glad that they couldn’t…
Me: Yes… but if my dad hadn’t appeared… I’d be Voldemort’s wife by now…
Mrs Weasley: Oh… And… you two! Fred! George! What were you thinking when you decided to drink that potion, to go to Mimi’s house?
Fred: *he tried to make an innocent face* What potion?
Mrs Weasley: I’m not stupid! Hermione and Ginny told me everything…

I decided to talk to my mum while Mrs Weasley was reprimanding the twins.

Me: Mum… what’s happening? Why did you send me that letter? Where are Harry and Dora?
Mum: Well, Harry was really stubborn and he didn’t go to Grimmauld Place. He came with Nymphadora. She’s in that room, in front of this one. Harry is near her, as well as a doctor.
Ron: And how is she?
Mum: She’s in coma, again… It’s not good for her… she’s young and she had been in come twice…
Me: But will she be alright?
Mum: We hope so… she’s getting better…
Me: And how is dad?
Mum: Well, he was in coma too… but he woke up some minutes ago. Luckily, he’ll be alright. He broke a leg, but we already gave him a potion.
Me: I want to see him. Where is he?
Mum: In that room. *she pointed towards the room next Nymphadora’s*
Me: Alright, I’m going to visit my dad.
Mum: Mimi… wait! I need to tell you something before…

But I didn’t wait. Followed by Ron, I entered in my dad’s room. He was sleeping. Near his bed, I saw a girl, sat on a chair, crying. And that girl was… my cousin.

Me: YOU?! What are you doing here?
Aislin: I…I…
Me: Get out of here! All of what happened is your fault! I hate you!
Aislin: No Miriam… you don’t understand… *she was crying a lot*
Me: I don’t care! Leave us alone! I don’t want to see you or your mum!

She cried even more now and my mum came in.

Mum: Mimi… don’t yell at your cousin…
Me: But her mother and she wanted me to marry Voldemort!
Mum: Her mother, not Aislin. Do you remember what I wrote in the letter? That some death eaters escaped? Voldemort was with them. They tried to find you, but they couldn’t. So, they led to the forest and found Aislin’s mother. She had promised Voldemort that he’d marry you. Voldemort was furious and killed her.
Me: Oh…
Aislin: I was near a lake with Aaron, my boyfriend… and he went to my house… to bring me a present he had made for me… that he had forgotten there… and… and…
Me: And?
Aislin: Well, I spent an hour waiting for him… I decided to go home, to see where he was… and… and… when I came in, I saw… him… and my mum… dead… both of them.
Me: That’s so bad…

Yeah, I felt sad about Aislin’s story.

Mum: Mimi, come here, please.
Me: Ok…

My mum and I left the room.

Mum: Well, your dad and I thought that maybe Aislin will stay with us.
Me: WHAT? No way! I don’t want her to be with us!
Mum: But she hasn’t any family…
Me: Where’s her father?
Mum: He left her mother, when she was pregnant of Aislin…
Me: Wow… poor Aislin… she doesn’t have a father, her mother is dead, her boyfriend too…
Mum: Yes, and that’s why we think that she needs to stay with us. We are her only family.
Me: No! Her mother and she wanted me to marry Voldemort! My friends and I were almost killed because of that!

Aislin came out of the room and Ron followed her.

Aislin: Miriam… I know that you must be really angry with me, but believe me, I never wanted to hurt you!
Me: Lies, lies and more lies! That’s enough!
Aislin: No! First, when Voldemort told my mum that he’d destroy the world of the fairies if he didn’t married a princess of the fairies, my mum and I were really sad… but then she remembered of you… she told me that he had to find you and that the Dark Lord would marry you, instead of me. I felt really happy… and then, we didn’t have to find you… you found us. When I met you, I felt a bit sad, because I saw that you were a really good person. But my mum told me that it was better that way, and gave you the necklace which would lead you to Voldemort’s mansion when he was ready to marry you. But you brought your friends with you and you escaped, so my mum’s perfect plan failed, and she was killed, as well as Aaron, who didn’t know everything about this story.
Me: Oh… now you blame me of your mother’s and boyfriend’s death?
Aislin: No… I just want you to understand what happened…
Mum: So, will you let Aislin stay with us?
Me: NO! I DON’T WANT HER TO STAY WITH US!
Mum: Mimi, try to put yourself in Aislin’s place… how would you feel if Ron and I had been killed and you didn’t have any family… and no one wanted you to be with them?
Me: I… I… I’d never send anyone to marry Voldemort instead of me!
Mum: Really? So why didn’t you marry him?
Me: I escaped… dad and the Aurors saved me… and I’d never marry anyone but Ron!
Mum: See? Do you understand Aislin’s feelings now?
Me: Fine… you convinced me… she can stay… but I don’t want her to stay in my room, I don’t want her to touch my stuff , I don’t want her to play with my pets and I don’t want her to be with my friends!
Ron: Don’t you think that you are being a bit rude to your cousin?
Me: Well, a bit… well, you can be with me and my friends, if you want, Aislin…
Aislin: Oh… thank you, Mimi! You have a heart of gold! I’m sorry for everything… I know you don’t trust me… but I’ll do everything to deserve your confidence!
Me: Alright… well, you aren’t a witch… you can’t stay at Hogwarts. Where will she stay, mum?
Mum: I don’t know, but your father and I will talk to Dumbledore as soon as we can. Until that, she’ll stay with you, as you are on holydays.
Me: WHAT? And if Voldemort comes back? He must be looking for me. As you said, he won’t give up… she’ll tell him how to find me!
Aislin: No, Miriam… I won’t do that… I swear…
Mum: Well, she doesn’t need to stay with you… you are spending your Christmas holidays with the Weasleys, aren’t you? So, she’ll stay with me and with your father, at our home.
Me: Oh… now you prefer to have a stranger at home… you don’t care about me anymore…
Mum: No, Mimi! You decided to spend your holidays away from us! You left your family because of your boyfriend!
Me: That’s not true, mum… you know that I love my family with all my heart! *I hugged my mum*
Mum: I know sweetie… but Aislin is your cousin… she’s part of the family. I understand that it’s hard for you to trust her, but please, try to be nice for her…
Me: Alright, mum. I’ll try, I promise.
Mum: This is my Mimi!
Me: I love you, mum!
Mum: I love you too. Well, your father is asleep. So, why don’t you go visit Nymphadora? Harry is with her.

Then, a woman entered in the room.

Woman: Doctor Evelyn, the metamorphic girl, Nymphadora, has just woken up.
Mum: Alright. Can her friends visit her?
Woman: Yes, I think so. Follow me, please.
Aislin: Mimi… can I go with you?
Me: Yes, if you want to.
Aislin: Thanks!

So, I, Ron, Fred, George and Aislin followed the woman. She opened the door. We came in and the doctor who was with her left. Harry wasn’t there. We led towards her bed.

Me: DORA!!! I’m so happy to see that you’ve woken! How are you?
Nymphadora: Hello everyone! I’m tired… my head hurts a bit… And how are you? Did you become Voldemort’s wife?
Me: Of course not! Well, that almost happened… but then the Aurors appeared and saved us… Can you remember?
Nymphadora: No…Harry… where’s Harry? He’s dead, isn’t he?
Ron: No! Harry’s here! Well, we hadn’t seen him, but he’s here.

And then, Harry came in.

Harry: DORA!!!

I saw a big smile on Nymphadora’s face.

Fred: Maybe we should leave them alone…
Me: I agree…
George: Hey Harry! Tell us when we can come in…
Harry: Alright… and… who are you?
Aislin: I’m Aislin Silver… Mimi’s cousin…
Harry: Oh… that one whose mother wanted Mimi to marry Voldemort? This situation is your entire fault! You and your mother should be killed!
Ron: Harry…
Aislin: The great Harry Potter… you know what? MY MUM WAS ALREADY KILLED!!!

And she left us, running and crying.

Ron: Harry… you shouldn’t… well, let’s go.
Fred: Yes, you and Dora need to talk… tell us when we can come in. *he winked* See you later, Dora!
Nymphadora: See you!

And we left the room. I couldn’t see where Aislin was.

Me: Maybe we should go look for her…
Ron: Why? Are you worried about her?
Me: No!
Ron: Don’t lie to me…
Me: Yes, I am worried, ok? Can we go look for her?
Ron: Alright.
Fred: Ok. We’ll stay here. We want to talk to Dora. She needs to laugh!
George: Yes, she does! See you later, lovebirds!
Me & Ron: See you!

We walked through some corridors, but we didn’t see Aislin…

Ron: Maybe she’s with your mum…
Me: Yeah… let’s go!

So, we went towards my dad’s room. My mum was still there, as well as Mrs Weasley.

Me: Mum… have you seen…
Mum: Mimi! Your father has just woken up!
Dad: Mimi! I’m so happy to see that my little girl is alright!
Me: Daddy!!! *we hugged*
Mum: Well, your father, I and Mrs Weasley have been talking and we have something very important to tell you…
Ron: Well, in that case, I should leave the room…
Mum: No, Ron. It’s important to both of you. Tell them, Anthony.
Dad: Well, we have been talking and we found a plan… We think that Voldemort wouldn’t want to marry you, Mimi, if you were married to another one. We think that the only thing he wants from you is an heir, and of course, he won’t want an heir from a married girl…
Me: I presume you’re right… but that’s not a plan…
Mrs Weasley: Yes, it is… We decided that you and Ron should get married as soon as possible, so that Voldemort will leave you alone.
Me & Ron: WHAT?!
Mrs Weasley: That’s what you heard. You’ll get married! Isn’t it amazing?
Me: Humm…
Ron: Well…
Me: I…

I really didn’t know what I should say… It was a big surprise.
I really wanted to marry Ron. I was sure of that… but… I was only sixteen… this wasn’t what I had dreamt for my future… I’ve always dreamt about becoming a vet of magical creatures and getting married after that… I wasn’t ready to get married and have my own family… not at this age…
But, on the other side, I loved the idea! I was going to marry the love of my life and no one would separate us!

Mum: Mimi? Ron? Say something…
Ron: Humm… what do you think, Mimi?
Me: I…I… I love the idea! *I smiled*
Ron: Me too!
Mrs Weasley: Well, let’s do this in a traditional way… *she gave Ron a little box*
Ron: Oh… humm… *he went down on one knee and took my right hand* Miriam Evelyn, Princess of the Fairies and Princess of my heart, would you like to marry me?

He opened the little box and I saw a very beautiful ring. It was silver and had a pink precious stone.

Me: Yes, Ronald Weasley! I do want to marry you!!!

He put the ring on my finger.

Mrs Weasley, Mum, Dad: KISS! KISS! KISS!

And we kissed.
Then, I saw her, Aislin. She was outside the door, crying even more and looking at us. Maybe that reminded her of Aaron, her boyfriend…

Part 29 - Nymphadora's Point of View

What ?! What did she say ?

Me: Are you really pregnant? When did that happen?
Miriam: Shhhh… I’m not… but please, don’t tell anyone…
Me: Oh… alright… but what will we do now?
Miriam: I don’t know… but maybe Voldemort won’t want to marry me anymore…
Me: I don’t think so… my parents said that if you don’t want to marry Voldemort, you’ll die… we’ll all die…

I was about to go on on my explanation but I couldn’t because someone was coming in… It was my mum.

Me: Mum!
Mum: Shut up and come with me. Lord Voldemort wants to talk with you, about your Mudblood friend…
Miriam: Hey! I’m not a Mudblood!

But My mum only laughs and she took my arm and lead me somewhere else. I came across Draco.

Mum: Draco? Where are you going?
Draco: I’m going to see Mrs. Voldemort…
Mum: Well, your parents and us were thinking about giving you our daughter.
Me: What?
Mum: You understand clearly, we thought about a wedding between you and Draco. The Malfoys are, after all, the most powerful family in the pureblood wizardry word…
Draco: I wouldn’t mind having dear Harry Potter’s girlfriend when he’ll die…
Me: You little...
Mum: CRUCIO !!!
Me: AAAAaaaaaaaaah !!!!!!
Mum: Serves you right ! Don’t answer back to your future husband !!!
Draco: So, I’ll see you later my sweet…

I was about to punch him hard in the face but Mum took me away from him.

Mum: You make us wasting time, Dark Lord is waiting for us…
Me: What does it want with me ?
Mum: You have some advantages …
Me: What ?
Mum: Shut up … Bow.

We were now in front of a massive chair. Voldemort was sitting like he was the most powerful Lord on earth… and he was watching me, like a slave…

Voldemort: So, here is your daughter…
Mum: Yes my Lord, she is.
Voldemort: A metamorphic, isn’t she ?
Mum: Due to my grandma’, yes my Lord.
Voldemort: Come here !

But I wasn’t moving. I was expecting Harry or someone else, to come and rescue us from death.

Voldemort: Imperium !
Me: No !!
Voldemort: I said, Come HERE !!

So without even thinking about what I was doing, my feet started walking toward Voldemort… and the rest of my body bow in front of him.

Voldemort: A bit insolent isn’t she ? I’ll change that… Welcome Miss Tonks to my mansion. I hope you’re enjoying your room and the fact that your boyfriend will die soon enough….
Me: He is… dead ?
Voldemort: Don’t ask question !!
Me: Harry’s… dead ?
Voldemort: Probably, at this time…
Me: *cry* No…

Voldemort: Yes yes, well, it’s time to have dinner… Where’s the princess ?

As he said this, I saw Draco and Miriam coming in. I wanted to say something, but all of my thoughts where on Harry. He was dead.
I was forced to sat between my parents.

Voldemort: Ah! Here is my princess! Good evening!
Miriam: Good evening…
Voldemort: Come here! Join us! *he pointed towards an empty chair near him*

It wa so quiet. I was like I didn’t want to live anymore.

Voldemort: Miriam? Are you alright, princess?
Me: Yes, my lord… but I’m not hungry anymore… can I go back to my room?
Voldemort: Of course, but… wait a minute. Miss Tonks! Come here!

So I got up and walked towards them.

Voldemort: Well, as both of you must know, Miss Tonks will become a death eater tomorrow and I decided to marry Miriam tomorrow evening.
Miriam: But…
Voldemort: I know… you’re pregnant, but… Miss Tonks will receive her dark mark tomorrow morning and her first task as a death eater is to prepare a potion… a potion for you, Miriam Evelyn… she’ll give it to you and when you drink it, you’ll lose your baby… but, of course, if you’re not pregnant, the potion will kill you…

WHAT ? I will have to make a potion to kill Miriam…

Voldemort: You can return to your room, princess… See you tomorrow.

And then, she left quickly without turning back.

Voldemort: Tonks, you know what you have to do ! GO !

I didn’t want to go a make a potion to kill one of my best friends. But a Death Eater came and takes my arm.

Me: Get off me !! Don’t touch me !!
Death Eater: Master, the girl doesn’t want to cooperate!
Voldemort: Let me see… Impero !!

And then, it feels like… nothing. I could feel what I was doing but I couldn’t move to not do it. Everything is such a mess of nonsense. I don’t have correct thought. I might start going crazy. I see people screaming, getting hurt. Sometimes I remember they’re friend of mine, sometimes I don’t.
The world is so black.
And then, the light. A bloody blinding white light.

Me: Where am I ? Can you put that light away ?
Voice: You pass out. This is not your time. Wake up… This is not your time…
Me: Have to wake myself up ? Why ?
Voice: There’s a life before death, you have nothing to do here, not yet…
Me: Who are you ? I know your voice. I’m sure I know it…
Voice: You know it, don’t try to remember it… Just wake yourself up…
Me: I’m up… I’m so up…

Voice: Dora ? Dora, please wake up…
Me: I’m up… I’m so up…
Voice: What ?? DOCTOR !!! She said something !! She said something !!!
Me: Who’s that ?
Voice: It’s me, Harry.
Me: Harry… *start crying* No, Harry’s dead. He is dead. *cry*
Voice: Mr Potter, I think you should get out. She is in a chocked statement.
Voice: A schocked statement ? What do you mean ?
Voice: The Imperius Curse is one of the three most powerful spells a human can bear… and Miss Tonks is a metamorphic, she already had a long coma before that, she needs to rest.
Voice: But, she’ll need me.
Voice: As you may have heard, she believe that you are dead.
Me: Harry is dead, I couldn’t save him… *cry*
Voice: Now please get out.

I heard some footsteps and someone coming closer to me.

Voice: Hi Miss Tonks, you’re in security, please, open your eyes very slowly if you can…

So I did.

Me: Where am I ?
Voice: I’m your doctor and you’re in St Mangoust for the second time of your life for about the same reason. You’ve just awoken from a long coma.
Me: Who was the person with you ? The first who spoke, who called you ?
Doctor: I can’t tell you. Not now, you wouldn’t believe me.
Me: Tell me.
Doctor: The person who was here was Harry Potter. Do you remember him ?
Me: Yeah, I love him. And Voldemort did tell me that he’d be dead…

And then, I saw Ron, Miriam, Fred, George and someone else in the very back coming in.

Part 28 - Miriam's Point of View

Nymphadora was still looking at me with a very confused face. I know that she didn’t know what to say. After a while, she spoke.

Nymphadora: Are you really pregnant? When did that happen?
Me: Shhhh… I’m not… but please, don’t tell anyone…
Nymphadora: Oh… alright… but what will we do now?
Me: I don’t know… but maybe Voldemort won’t want to marry me anymore…
Nymphadora: I don’t think so… my parents said that if you don’t want to marry Voldemort, you’ll die… we’ll all die…

I froze… what would happen now? What would I do? I was desperate… I started to cry. Nymphadora was going to say something, but she couldn’t, because someone entered in the room.

Nymphadora: Mum!
Nymphadora’s Mum: Shut up and come with me. Lord Voldemort wants to talk with you, about your Mudblood friend…
Me: Hey! I’m not a Mudblood!

Nymphadora’s mum laughed and grabbed her daughter’s arm. They left the room and I was all alone now. I was so worried… I didn’t know what would happen next and I didn’t know how Ron was… I sat on the bed, crying. I cried so much that I fell asleep.
When I woke up it was really late. I was still alone. Suddenly, someone entered in the room. It was Draco Malfoy…

Draco: Oh! I see that you’re awake now, princess…
Me: Yes… what do you want?
Draco: Well, the dinner is ready… Lord Voldemort wants you to have dinner with him.
Me: I’m not hungry…
Draco: Didn’t you understand what I said? Voldemort wants you to have dinner with him! It’s an order!
Me: Alright… alright…
Draco: Fine… he said that you can wear one of those dresses. *he pointed towards a big wardrobe*
Me: Okay…
Draco: Well, I’m leaving. I’ll be here in twenty minutes to lead you towards the dinning room.
Me: Alright…

And he left me. I didn’t have another option, so I opened the wardrobe to pick a dress. When I saw the dresses, I was scared… they were all pink… how did Voldemort know that I like pink? After a while, I picked one of the dresses and put it. Some minutes later, someone knocked the door. I knew it was Draco…
Me: You can come in…
Draco: Fine! *he came in* Humm… that dress is pretty…
Me: Thanks…
Draco: Well, Lord Voldemort is waiting for you. Come with me.

So, we left the room and went downstairs. The rest of the house was as dark as my room, but it had some candles which emitted kind of a green light too. Finally, we arrived to the dinning room. There were many death eaters around the table. I saw Nymphadora sat near her parents. She looked very sad… I think that she wanted to tell me something, but her mother stopped her by hitting her arm. I looked around, trying to see if Ron or Harry were there too, but they weren’t… Then, Voldemort spoke.

Voldemort: Ah! Here is my princess! Good evening!
Me: Good evening…
Voldemort: Come here! Join us! *he pointed towards an empty chair near him*

I didn’t say anything, but I sat near him. He served me my dinner and then everyone started eating, talking and laughing… well, everyone except me and Nymphadora. We were silent and we weren’t eating.
I couldn’t eat… I was thinking about a plan to escape. And then, I got one. If I could get out of there while everyone was eating, I would try to find Harry and Ron, then we’d save Nymphadora and get out of there…

Voldemort: Miriam? Are you alright, princess?
Me: Yes, my lord… but I’m not hungry anymore… can I go back to my room?
Voldemort: Of course, but… wait a minute. Miss Tonks! Come here!

Nymphadora got up and walked towards us. She was still looking very sad.

Voldemort: Well, as both of you must know, Miss Tonks will become a death eater tomorrow and I decided to marry Miriam tomorrow evening.
Me: But…
Voldemort: I know… you’re pregnant, but… Miss Tonks will receive her dark mark tomorrow morning and her first task as a death eater is to prepare a potion… a potion for you, Miriam Evelyn… she’ll give it to you and when you drink it, you’ll lose your baby… but, of course, if you’re not pregnant, the potion will kill you…

Nymphadora and I were both shocked. Voldemort laughed.

Voldemort: You can return to your room, princess… See you tomorrow.

I left without a word. I ran towards my room and grabbed one of those candles. I decided to explore that scary house… I wanted to find Ron… I wanted to save everyone… we had to get out of there before it was too late… because if I drank that potion, I’d certainly die…
After a while, I found some stairs which led towards a darker place. Maybe that place was the dungeons… I found a key on the floor… Strange… maybe that key would open the dungeons door. Then, I arrived to the dungeons. I tried the key and… the door opened! I was so happy! I entered in the dungeon and someone spoke…

Someone: Who’s there?
Me: Ron? Is that you?
Ron: Mimi! You’re here! I’m so happy to see you! *we hugged and kissed*
Me: Oh Ron! I was so worried about you! Did they hurt you?
Ron: No… Malfoy casted some spell on me… I fainted and when I woke, I was here… But Harry seems really hurt… he’s still fainted… *he pointed towards Harry, who was on the floor, unconscious*
Me: Oh… we have to get out of here…
Ron: Yeah… where’s Dora?
Me: She’s upstairs… Voldemort plans to put a dark mark on her arm tomorrow morning… then she’ll have to prepare a potion…
Ron: A potion? Why?
Me: Well… I… I… I told Voldemort that I’m pregnant…
Ron: But you aren’t!
Me: I know! But I thought that if he thought that I was pregnant, he wouldn’t want to marry me!
Ron: Yeah… but how about if he had killed me?
Me: Then I would have died too… *I started to cry*
Ron: Shh… don’t cry… I’m here! Now, tell me… why will Nymphadora have to prepare a potion?
Me: Voldemort told us that when I drink that potion, I’ll lose my baby, but if I’m not pregnant, the potion will kill me…
Ron: Oh no… don’t drink that…
Me: But…
Ron: Go upstairs and tell him that you’re not pregnant! Save your life!
Me: But if I tell him that, he’ll marry me… If he does that, he will kill you… if I don’t marry him, he will kill all of us…
Ron: Marry him… I want you to live…
Me: But I will never be happy again without you…
Ron: Don’t say that… you’ll be really happy… you’ll be rich and you’ll have everything you want… you’ll be treated as a princess…
Me: No, I won’t… if you die, then I’ll die with you… *he kissed me*

Then someone opened the door.

Voldemort: How lovely… I knew that you weren’t pregnant, princess…
Me: You’re right… I’m not… but I won’t marry you!
Voldemort: Oh… why, princess? Don’t you like me?
Me: Of course not!!! I hate you! You’re evil and cruel!
Voldemort: Oh, yes? You are completely right, princess! CRUCIO! CRUCIO!

He casted a Crucio on me and another one on Ron. Oh… that hurt so much… Ron and I fell on the floor. Voldemort was laughing. Nymphadora was behind him. She didn’t say anything and she was inexpressive.

Me: Dora! Help us… please…

But she didn’t move. Voldemort laughed even more and casted more Crucios on us… I was so weak… I couldn’t resist anymore and I fainted.
When I woke up, I was still inside the dungeon. Ron and Harry were there too. Harry was awake.

Me: Harry! How are you?
Harry: I’m fine… hurt, but fine…
Me: And how is Ron?
Harry: I don’t know… he’s still unconscious…
Me: No… Ron! Wake up! Please! Wake up! Wake up!
Harry: Calm down!
Me: Sorry…

I sat near Ron and grabbed his hand. He was so cold…

Then, someone entered.

Lucius: Good morning, princess! You are really lucky, you know?
Me: Oh, yeah?
Lucius: Yes! The Lord is a bit angry with you… but he still wants to marry you…
Me: I DON’T WANT TO MARRY HIM!
Lucius: Don’t yell at me! You will marry Voldemort, no matter if you want to or not!

Lucius grabbed my arm and led me outside the dungeon. I was reluctant, but I didn’t have another option…
He led me towards that dark garden. Everyone was there. Then, I saw them… Nymphadora’s parents… trying to put a dark mark on her arm.

Me: No! Nymphadora!!! Don’t become one of them!
Voldemort: Princess! Sorry about yesterday… but you really deserved that… By the way, your ex-boyfriend is here too…

Draco appeared. Ron was with him. He was awake, but very weak…

Me: Ron is not my ex-boyfriend! He is my boyfriend!
Voldemort: Really? CRUCIO! *he casted that spell on Ron*
Me: NO!!!!
Voldemort: Maybe I’ll let him live if you marry me…
Me: I won’t marry you!!!
Voldemort: Well, let me change your mind… CRUCIO! CRUCIO! *he casted two more Cruciatus curses on Ron*

Ron was really hurt… it was difficult for him to breathe. I started to cry… he was suffering… because of me! I didn’t want to marry Voldemort… but I had to… I decided to marry Voldemort… I was going to sacrifice myself… to save the love of my life’s life.

Me: Alright… I give up… I’ll marry you, Lord Voldemort…
Voldemort: Ah! I knew it! I’m irresistible…

He tried to kiss me… I was so scared… But then, someone spoke.

Someone: Take your dirty hands off my daughter, Voldemort!

It was my dad!!! Oh… I was happy now! He’s an auror! He came to save us, and he wasn’t alone! Many aurors were with him.
I was really happy to see my dad!!! And Voldemort was so surprised that he took his hands off me.
I ran towards Ron, who was on the floor.

Me: Ron! Ron, are you ok?
Ron: I… I…

He was really hurt and he couldn’t breathe very well.

Me: Ron, I’m so sorry… I want you to know that I only accepted to marry Voldemort because he told me that he was going to let you live if I married him…
Ron: You… shouldn’t… believe him…
Me: I know… but I couldn’t see him casting spells on you anymore…
Ron: I… love you…
Me: I love you too! *we kissed*
Ron: Ouch… my leg!
Me: Sorry!

I looked around. Nymphadora was still inexpressive, near her mother. The Aurors were fighting the death eaters. And I was really worried about my father… he was fighting with Voldemort! And… where was Harry?
Then, I saw Bellatrix Lestrange coming towards us.

Bellatrix: How lovely… the stupid princess and her pathetic boyfriend!
Me: RON IS NOT PATHETIC!!!
Bellatrix: Don’t yell at me! I could kill you now if I wanted…
Ron: Then I’d kill you too!
Bellatrix: Ah! Let me laugh… Well, I’m not here to talk… I’m here to take you, princess!
Me: Wha…

But I couldn’t finish what I was going to say. She grabbed my arm strongly and made me got up. She was really hurting me.

Bellatrix: Anthony… the powerful Auror… do you really think that you and your stupid aurors can defeat Voldemort?
Dad: Leave my daughter alone…
Voldemort: Don’t be rude to my friend Bellatrix, Anthony! After all, I’m going to be your son-in-law!
Dad: She will never marry you!
Voldemort: She doesn’t have choice… if she doesn’t marry me, she will die! All of her friends will die!
Me: I hate you, Voldemort! You are evil, cruel and disgusting! And you don’t have a heart! I will never marry you!
Voldemort: Is that your final word, Princess Miriam?
Me: YES!
Voldemort: Then you’ll die… but I’ll kill all of your family and friends… right in front of you! Say good-bye to your boyfriend… Avad…
Dad: Petrificus Totallus!

Voldemort was petrified. I never thought that such a simple spell could stop him…

Dad: Mimi, listen carefully! Alastor Moody is inside the house, waiting for you. Take Ron and go talk to him. He will tell you what to do.
Me: But, dad…
Dad: Go! We don’t have much time! Ahhhhhh…

Some spell hit my father and he fell. I was so scared, but I started to run towards Ron.

Me: Ron! Let’s go! We’ll be safe now!
Ron: I don’t know if I can run…
Me: Don’t run, walk! Come on, I hold you!
Ron: Alright…

He grabbed my arm and got up. We were walking slowly towards the house.

Me: Ron, I’m sorry… but can you walk a bit faster?
Ron: I’m trying!
Me: Please…
Ron: Hey! It’s not easy to run when you were hit by a lot of Crucios!
Me: I know… sorry…

While we were walking, I was watching what was happening. Nymphadora’s parents were fighting, Draco and his father weren’t there, as well as Voldemort. Bellatrix had just killed an Auror and… oh no! My father was on the floor…
Some aurors and death eaters were on the floor, but many of them were fighting! Nymphadora was still inexpressive and she didn’t move and I hadn’t seen Harry yet. I was so worried!
Then, Ron and I entered in the house. I saw a man sat on a couch.

Me: Alastor Moody, I presume.
Moody: Yes, it’s me.

He was really strange… he had a very odd eye. Now I know why my father called him “Mad-Eye Moody” when he talked about him last year…
Harry was near Moody!

Me: Harry! You’re here! Are you alright?
Harry: Yes… how is Dora?
Me: I don’t really know…
Moody: I know! She’s under an Imperius curse. She sees everything around her, but her body can’t move, unless the one who casted the spell on her gives her an order.
Harry: That must be awful for her… seeing her friends being hurt… and she can’t do anything!
Moody: You’re right, Harry!
Me: Yeah… well, Mr. Moody, my father told me to talk to you. Do you have any plan to save us?
Moody: Yes! Some Aurors will take the four of you out of here. We’ll put you in different places, so that we can mislead the death eaters! Miss Evelyn, your father wants you to stay at your home, Mr. Potter will come with me to Grimmauld Place, Miss Tonks will stay in St. Mangoust and Mr. Weasley will stay in the Leaky Cauldron.
Me: I’m sorry… but can Ron stay with me, in my house?
Moody: If he wants to…
Ron: I want to stay with Mimi!
Harry: Why does Nymphadora have to go to St. Mangoust?
Moody: Because she is under an Imperius curse! She needs to be seen by a doctor!
Harry: Can I stay with her?
Moody: NO!
Harry: WHY?
Moody: Don’t yell at me, Potter! You’ll stay with me, in Grimmauld Place!

Then, we heard some noise. The death eaters were entering in the house. I was really scared…

Moody: Oh no… we have to be quick! Miss Evelyn, take this. It’s a Portkey which will take you to your house.

Moody gave me a little piece of wood. Ron and I touched it. Once more, I felt everything spinning around me and when I opened my eyes, I was in my living room. I was so happy to be home! It was a really nice place.

Me: Welcome to my house!
Ron: It’s a very nice place!
Me: Yeah… it’s not as big as yours, but my family isn’t as big as yours too!

Ron smiled. Yes, my house wasn’t very big. We had a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom and two bedrooms: one for my parents and another one for me. We also had a pretty garden.

Ron: Your house is perfect! *he smiled*
Me: Thanks… Oh, we forgot to tell Harry “Good-bye”… and we forgot to thank Moody…
Ron: I think they’ll understand… the death eaters were coming!
Me: You must be right…

Then, we heard a noise. Someone was approaching…

Me: Who’s there?

When I saw who it was, I felt really happy!

Me: MUM!!! I’m so happy to see you!!! *I hugged her*
Mum: Mimi!!! You’re home! I was so worried… did they hurt you? Are you alright? Oh… my daughter… I was so scared…
Me: I’m fine, mum!
Mum: Oh… thank God! And…Ron! You’re here too! *she hugged him as well* Let me look at you… Oh, you don’t look well… Did they hurt you, sweetie?
Me: Yes, mum… they casted so many Cruciatus curses on him… because they wanted me to marry Voldemort… *I started to cry*
Mum: Oh… don’t cry… you’re safe now… Wait a moment, I have a potion to make you feel better, Ron.

And she left us. Ron and I sat on the couch. Some minutes later, my mum was back again. She was holding a little bottle with a purple potion on it.

Mum: Here. A potion against the Cruciatus curse.
Ron: Thanks…

He drank a bit of it and made a strange face. My mum and I laughed.

Ron: Wow… this is horrible!
Mum: Well, it’s a remedy, not a butter beer! Come on, drink all of it!

And so he did, but I could see that the potion was really horrible, by his face.

Mum: So… how are you feeling?
Ron: Humm… I’m feeling much better, but a bit tired…
Mum: It’s normal…
Me: Mum… I love you!

I got up and gave my mum a big hug.

Mum: I love you too, Mimi. But now I have to go.
Me: What?
Mum: I have to go, sweetie. They need me in St. Mangoust. I don’t know if they told you, but I’m going to take care of the ones who were hurt today, fighting Voldemort.
Me: Will you take care of Nymphadora as well?
Mum: Yes.
Me: Okay… you can go.
Mum: I knew that you’d understand… Well, both of you must be starving. There’s food in the kitchen, so eat! And don’t forget to rest! I don’t want you to stay awake until 2 am watching TV!

Ron made a confused face. Of course, he didn’t know what a TV was.

Me: Alright, mum.
Mum: And now, the most important: if someone knocks the door, don’t open it! The death eaters won’t rest until they find you… they won’t give up, so be careful! Don’t make noise and don’t use magic! I don’t want them to find you!
Me: I know, mum. We’ll be careful, don’t worry. And if you see Harry and Nymphadora, tell them that we’re really worried about them!
Mum: Alright! See you later! Bye!

She hugged both of us, took a bit of Floo Powder and disappeared. Now we were alone.

Ron: Mimi… what is a TV?
Me: Oh, it is kind of a box… a magic box. Muggles use it to watch films and things like that…
Ron: And what is a film?
Me: A film? Humm… how can I explain… well, do you know the pictures which wizards take? Those pictures where people move? A film is a little bit like that, but it’s very long and we can listen to people talking and singing…
Ron: That sounds great! Can we watch TV?
Me: Yes, but later.
Ron: Ok! Well, why do you have so many Muggle objects at home?
Me: Because we’re used to living near Muggles. My dad’s parents are Muggles. Well, as you may notice, I’m not a pure-blood at all! I have blood of Muggles, Wizards and Fairies!
Ron: Wow… *he laughed* Well, that’s what makes you special! *we kissed*
Me: Look at us… we are so dirty… our hands are brown and we have scratches…
Ron: Yeah… I think we need a good bath!
Me: I agree! I only have a bathroom, so you can go first.
Ron: No way! Ladies first!
Me: Alright! * I laughed* Come on, let’s get some pyjamas.

We went upstairs, towards my parents’ room. I opened the wardrobe and took two pyjamas, one for me and another one for Ron. I was sure that my mum and my dad wouldn’t mind if we borrowed their pyjamas. I also took some towels. Then, I led Ron towards my room.

Ron: You know what? Your room is exactly how I thought it was… pink. *he laughed*
Me: Yeah… and it has butterflies! *I laughed too* Well, I’m going to have a bath. You can stay here, watching TV, if you want.
Ron: Cool!!!

So, I turned the TV on and gave Ron the remote control. I told him to press the buttons with numbers to change to another program. Then, I went to the bathroom and had a bath. Some time later, I left the bathroom wearing a towel around my body.

Me: Ron, you can go now. Ron? I’m talking to you.
Ron: Oh, sorry! But this film is very cool!
Me: Ok, but now you can go and have a bath! The bathroom is the next door.
Ron: Alright…

And he left. I was going to put my pyjama, but then I felt water in my face. I forgot to put a towel around my hair. I went to the bathroom and knocked the door.

Me: Ron? May I come in? I need another towel…
Ron: Wait a second, let me close the curtain… Ok, you can come in.
Me: Thanks!

I entered in the bathroom and I froze… I saw a big, fat and black spider near the window… I’m so afraid of them…

Me: RON!!! A SPIDER!!! A SPIDER!!!

I was so scared that I dropped the towel which was around my body. Ron came out of the shower, very scared as well.
When we looked at each other... we were completely naked in front of each other! We were so embarrassed… I think I’ve never been so blushed in my whole life! Very ashamed, I picked my towel up and put it around me again. Ron picked a towel as well.

Me: I… I… I… have to go.

And I ran towards the door.

Ron: Mimi…
Me: Yes?
Ron: Didn’t you want another towel? *he gave me a towel*
Me: Yes… thank you!

I picked it and ran towards my room. I put my pyjama, went to the living room and sat on a couch. After a while, Ron sat near me. We were still so embarrassed that we couldn’t look at each other’s eyes! After a while, Ron spoke.

Ron: I definitely hate spiders…

We started to laugh.

Me: Yeah, me too! Did you kill it?
Ron: Hey! I’m not a murderer! *he laughed* No, the window was opened and the spider left.
Me: Okay! Are you hungry?
Ron: A bit… but first I want a kiss!
Me: A kiss? I’d give you a million!

And we kissed, kissed and kissed. Then, someone knocked the door…

Someone: Hey! You two! Stop kissing and open the door!
Ron: Mum?
Someone: Yes, it’s me! Open the door!

Ron got up, but I stopped him.

Me: Ron, don’t go! My mum didn’t tell us that your mum was coming… How about if she’s an impostor?
Ron: Don’t be silly, Mimi! Your mum must have forgotten…

And he opened the door. It really was Mrs Weasley, but her behaviour was weird…
She didn’t hug us, as she usually does… she didn’t even say “Good-evening”.

Mrs Weasley: I’m here to take care of you. Your mum told me that both of you are alright.
Me: Yes…
Mrs Weasley: I’m going to prepare our dinner.
Ron: Okay.

She went to the kitchen.

Me: See? She isn’t acting like your mum…
Ron: I have to agree…
Me: Maybe she’s a death eater who drank polijuice potion…
Ron: Don’t be silly… of course she’s my mum, she’s just a bit nervous…
Me: Humm… I doubt it…

Some minutes later, Mrs Weasley came out of the kitchen.

Mrs Weasley: The dinner is ready!
Me: Already? You were really quick…
Mrs Weasley: Yes, of course! My son must be starving… his girlfriend doesn’t know how to prepare a good meal for him!
Ron: MUM!
Me: I’m not hungry…
I went to my room and sat on my bed, crying. How could she have said those things? Definitely, she wasn’t the real Mrs Weasley… but Ron didn’t believe me. Or… maybe she was the real Mrs Weasley… maybe Ron was right and I was just paranoid about the death eaters… I was so confused! I went to my book-shelf and looked for a book about dark arts and I found a really old one… I didn’t even know that I had that book! I started to read it because I wanted some answers, I wanted to know if that woman inside my house could be a death eater. I spent more than two hours reading, but I didn’t find anything useful. And where was Ron? I haven’t heard him or Mrs Weasley for a while… And why didn’t he come to my room? I closed the book and entered in my bed. But then, I heard a noise coming from outside the window. I opened it and an owl came in. She gave me a letter and flew away. So, I sat on my bed and started to read the letter. It was from my mum.

“Dear Mimi,

We believe that you and Ron aren’t safe anymore. Some death eaters escaped.
You two must come to St. Mangoust immediately! Your father isn’t well… and we need to talk about Harry and Nymphadora.
By the way, Mrs Weasley is here too and she is very worried about Ron and you. She wants to talk to both of you.
Please, come as soon as you can!

Mummy loves you, Mimi!!!”

So, if Mrs Weasley was with my mum… who was this woman?

Part 28 - Nymphadora's Point of View

Mrs Weasley was giving me a warm mother hug. And Mr Weasley was watching us, not knowing what to say or what to do.

Miriam: Dora…
Harry: Dora! What happened?

I couldn’t say anything. I was so sad and shocked that I couldn’t say anything but just crying. Harry gave me a hug. But I started to feel ashamed to cry like this in front of everyone so I run upstairs to hide myself.

When I entered in my room. I went into my bed and I covered myself with the sheets and I cried cried cried …
Then I heard the door opening.

Me: Who’s there?
Voice: It’s me.
Me: Go away Harry!
Harry: I won’t go until you tell me what happened!
Me: No! I won’t tell you, I’m scared, I feel ashamed …
Harry: But why?
Me: Harry…
Harry: tell me! I want to know why you’re gone, where did you go?
Me: I can’t tell you.
Harry: Sweetie, tell me. I need to know what makes you miserable.
Me: I’m … not… miserable *cry harder than ever*

For the second time, the door opened and Ron, Hermione and Mimi came in.

Harry: What are you doing here? Don’t you see that Nymphadora isn’t alright?
Miriam: Yes, we noticed that, and that’s why we are here! She’s our friend too and we care about her! And you shouldn’t be so rude, Harry!
Harry: Who are you calling rude, Evelyn?
Miriam: You!

Oh great now my friends need to argue! What else would happen again? I didn’t know why, but it makes me more sad again and I cried even more.

Harry: See what you did…
Me: It’s alright, Harry… they can stay…
Miriam: Thanks…

So they approached and they sat down.

Ron: What happened, Dora?
Harry: She doesn’t want to talk about it… she didn’t tell me…
Miriam: But we can’t help you if you don’t tell us what happened, Dora…
Hermione: Mimi is right… Tell us what happened…

I hesitated a bit. Maybe they were all right, maybe I should tell them…

Me: My parents are in Azkaban…
Harry: What?! Why?!
Me: They are Death Eaters…
Miriam, Ron, Hermione & Harry: WHAT?!

I start to cry again.

Me: They are Death Eaters… they want me to be a Voldemort’s follower…
Miriam: That’s so bad…
Ron: Well, they don’t want you to be You-Know-Who’s wife…
I didn’t know what he was talking about.

Me: What are you saying, Ron?
Ron: Humm… well… it’s a complicated story…
Miriam: It’s my story…
Me: What? Tell me…

I saw Miriam’s face turning blue and I wanted to know what that story was about.
I wasn’t crying anymore, I just wanted to know what she has to tell us.

Miriam: Well, do you remember when Ron and I got lost in the forest? We found some fairies… one of them is about my age… she’s Aislin Silver, my cousin. Her mother, Jacqueline Silver, told me that I am the Princess of the Faeries, because my grandmother was the queen. I was so happy when she told me that, but then Dumbledore told me that Voldemort told my aunt that he wants to marry a princess of the fairies or he’ll destroy their world, so, my aunt decided to… *I started to cry*… to give me… to him… she wants Voldemort to marry me! *I was crying hard*
Harry: That’s confusing…
Me: And sad… but she is not your mother! You didn’t even know her…
Miriam: That’s true… but… one day she’ll find me and then… I’ll have to…
Hermione: Marry Voldemort…
Ron: No you won’t!!! You won’t marry anyone but me!

She hugged him, she was still crying and I thought once more about what happened to me, and what I would have to face… and I start cry again.
Suddenly, Ron showed us a shiny thing.

Miriam: Ron? Where did you have my necklace?
Ron: Inside my pocket… It’s shining again…
Harry: What’s that?
Miriam: The necklace which my aunt gave me…
Me: Let me touch it…

Ron, Miriam and Harry were already touching it, and when I touched it too, something strange happened…
I felt everything spinning around me and when I opened my eyes, I saw a very dark garden… Definitely, we weren’t in the Burrow anymore… Ron, Harry and Miriam were there too. They looked very confused.

Harry: What happened?
Ron: I don’t know… but I don’t like this place…
Miriam: Maybe the necklace was a Portkey…
Me: Yeah… but why didn’t it work the first time you touched it?
Ron: Because… well, maybe they’ve just activated it now…
Harry: I suppose you’re right…

That place was dark and cold and we were scared and confused. We decided to explore it. Harry was by my side and he put a protect arm around my waist.

Harry: Where are we? I really don’t like this place…
Miriam: You’re not the only one… I think we’re lost…
Me: Well, but Hermione will tell Mr and Mrs Weasley that we disappeared…
Miriam: Yes! And they’ll look for us… I just hope they can find us before it’s too late…
Ron: Oh no…
Me: What happened?
Ron: Death eaters…

We turned around and saw a group of death eaters coming towards us. Luckily, they hadn’t seen us…

Harry: RUN!!!!!!!
As soon as Harry said it, he took my hand and he lead me somewhere I didn’t know where and I was sure that he didn’t know himself what he was doing.

Me: Harry, I’m out of breathe.
Harry: Don’t stop running!
Me: I’m scared, and I’m tired.
Harry: Don’t stop sweetie, come on!
Me: Let me remembering you that I’ve spend many weeks asleep and I can’t make a huge physical effort.
Harry: Honey, I know that you’re tired but you don’t want them to catch us, do you?
Me: of course not.*

And then I froze. I saw something flying very down. Death Eaters saw us and they were laughing.

Death Eater: CATCH HER!!!
Harry: NO!! RUN!!!!

I start running again but they were flying to damn fast for us. They were forming a circle around us, and they were no way we could escape.

Death eater: How lovely to see you dear, after so many months…
Me: Mum?
Death eater: Hello sweetie, nice to see me huh? Don’t be so rude, say hello to your dad…
Dad: I think your mum said something… say hello to me.

I didn’t say anything.

Mum: Crucio!!!

I feel such a pain shouting through down my spine, I was screaming and crying. It was so painful.

Me: Harry? Harry?
Harry: DORA!!!
Me: It hurts. *cry*
Harry: What the hell did you do?
Dad: Harry? Harry Potter?
Harry: Himself.
Dad: The Lord will be delighted to see that we have caught you and my daughter. You know what will happened to you *me*. I’ll bring you to the Lord, and you’ll join us…
Harry: No she won’t.
Dad: Don’t be so rude….Bellatrix? Do what you have to do.
Bellatrix: Sure CRUCIO!!! CRUCIO!!! CRUCIO!!!
Me: HARRY!!!! NO!!!!
Mum: You shut up! Or you’ll have the same.

I saw Harry’s body torturing he was screaming and trembling, with spasm…

Then, two other death eaters take me and Harry’s unconscious body.

Me: Where are the others?
Mum: The boys seem to be in the dungeons… Tomorrow you’ll get your tattoo and Voldemort will get married. If your Mudblood friend say no… She’ll die, you’ll all die. You’ll stay with her.

And one of them finally pushes in a sort of cave.
There I found Mimi who run toward me and gave me a hug.

Miriam: Dora! I’m so happy to see you!!! What happened? Where are we?
Me: This is Voldemort’s mansion…
Miriam: No…
Me: Yes…
Miriam: But… what happened? Where’s Ron? And Harry?
Me: Harry’s really hurt… a woman called Bellatrix casted so many Cruciatus curses on him… he’s in the dungeon… he’s fainted… I’m so scared for him…
Miriam: Oh… that’s terrible… but how about Ron?
Me: I don’t know… I didn’t see him…
Miriam: Oh no… *I started to cry*
Me: The death eaters sent me here… they want me to be near you… I really don’t know why… but they’ll put a dark mark on my arm tomorrow… *she was really scared and started to cry*
Miriam: Oh… please, don’t cry… we’ll find a way to get out of here…
Me: No, we won’t… Voldemort plans to marry you tomorrow!
Miriam: WHAT?

But I couldn’t answer. Someone entered in the room. It was a man wearing black clothes, but I couldn’t see his face. He was scary…

Miriam: Are you… Lord Voldemort?
Voldemort: Yes… you are intelligent, princess…
Miriam: Thanks…
Voldemort: I think you must know that you’re going to be my wife…
Miriam: Yes, my Lord. But, I can’t marry you…
Voldemort: Why not, princess?
Miriam: Humm… because…

I could tell she was thinking about something to say.

Miriam: I can’t marry you, my Lord, because I’m pregnant… Ronald Weasley is the father.

Voldemort left without a word. And I stood there, not knowing what to say or ask…

Mimi couldn’t be pregnant… could she?

Saturday, May 06, 2006

Part 27 - Miriam's Point of View

So, I went upstairs, towards Harry’s bedroom. I knocked the door, but no one answered.

Me: Harry? Are you there?
Harry: What do you want?
Me: Well, the dinner is ready…
Harry: I’m not hungry…
Me: Is Dora with you?

Harry opened the door. He looked very sad.

Harry: No, she isn’t here…
Me: No? So, where did she go?
Harry: I’d like to know that too… Mr. Weasley told her that she had to go somewhere with him… Have they already arrived?
Me: No… But what happened?
Harry: I don’t know… She didn’t tell me…Well, let’s go downstairs…
Me: Alright…

We went downstairs and we saw Nymphadora, Mrs and Mr Weasley in the living room. Mrs Weasley was hugging Nymphadora, who was looking very sad and crying. We ran towards them.

Me: Dora…
Harry: Dora! What happened?

Harry hugged his girlfriend, but she ran towards her room, crying.

Harry: What happened?
Mr Weasley: I think you should ask Nymphadora, Harry…
Harry: Alright…

So, he followed her. I stood in the living room, very confused… what happened to her? Why was she crying? Where did she and Mr Weasley go?

Mrs Weasley: Mimi? Mimi?
Me: Yes, Mrs Weasley?
Mrs. Weasley: The others are in the kitchen having dinner. I think you should join them…
Me: Alright…

I went to the kitchen and sat near Ron and Hermione. I wasn’t hungry, so I was eating very slowly. I was still confused about what happened.

Ron: Mimi? Are you with us?
Me: Humm… what?
Hermione: I was trying to tell you that we’ll need two more characters to our play.
Me: Oh! I’m sorry, Hermione. Yes, you’re right!
Ron: You don’t seem alright… What happened?
Me: Well, when I went upstairs to tell Harry and Dora that the dinner was ready, Harry was alone. He told me that Dora had gone somewhere with Mr Weasley… And then, when we went downstairs, we saw Mrs Weasley hugging Dora, who was crying… then, she ran upstairs…
Hermione: That’s strange…
Me: Yes, it is… I’m still trying to figure out what happened…
Ron: Why don’t we go upstairs and ask her?
Me: I don’t think we should do that…
Ron: Why not?
Hermione: Maybe she needs to be alone…
Ron: Oh, come on!
Me: Well, alright…
Hermione: Okay…

So, Ron told Mrs Weasley that we weren’t hungry anymore and we went upstairs. Ron, I and Hermione entered in Nymphadora’s bedroom. She was sat on her bed, crying hard. Harry was near her.

Harry: What are you doing here? Don’t you see that Nymphadora isn’t alright?
Me: Yes, we noticed that, and that’s why we are here! She’s our friend too and we care about her! And you shouldn’t be so rude, Harry!
Harry: Who are you calling rude, Evelyn?
Me: You!

Nymphadora didn’t say anything, but she was crying even more now.

Harry: See what you did…
Nymphadora: It’s alright, Harry… they can stay…
Me: Thanks…

We went towards Nymphadora and sat near her.

Ron: What happened, Dora?
Harry: She doesn’t want to talk about it… she didn’t tell me…
Me: But we can’t help you if you don’t tell us what happened, Dora…
Hermione: Mimi is right… Tell us what happened…

Nymphadora hesitated a bit, but she decided to talk.

Nymphadora: My parents are in Azkaban…
Harry: What?! Why?!
Nymphadora: They are Death Eaters…
Me, Ron, Hermione & Harry: WHAT?!

Nymphadora started to cry again…

Nymphadora: They are Death Eaters… they want me to be a Voldemort’s follower…
Me: That’s so bad…
Ron: Well, they don’t want you to be You-Know-Who’s wife…

Yes, Ron was talking about my aunt… I started to feel bad… Nymphadora’s parents wanted to give her to Lord Voldemort too…

Nymphadora: What are you saying, Ron?
Ron: Humm… well… it’s a complicated story…
Me: It’s my story…
Nymphadora: What? Tell me…

I was so sad now… I was remembering all of it and I just didn’t want to talk about it, but then I saw that Nymphadora wasn’t crying anymore… she wanted to listen to me, so I told them.

Me: Well, do you remember when Ron and I got lost in the forest? We found some fairies… one of them is about my age… she’s Aislin Silver, my cousin. Her mother, Jacqueline Silver, told me that I am the Princess of the Faeries, because my grandmother was the queen. I was so happy when she told me that, but then Dumbledore told me that Voldemort told my aunt that he wants to marry a princess of the fairies or he’ll destroy their world, so, my aunt decided to… *I started to cry*… to give me… to him… she wants Voldemort to marry me! *I was crying hard*
Harry: That’s confusing…
Nymphadora: And sad… but she is not your mother! You didn’t even know her…
Me: That’s true… but… one day she’ll find me and then… I’ll have to…
Hermione: Marry Voldemort…
Ron: No you won’t!!! You won’t marry anyone but me!

I hugged him, I was still crying, but that made me feel a lot better…
Nymphadora was crying too, and she was right… it must be so bad… her parents want her to follow Voldemort…
Suddenly, Ron showed us a shiny thing.

Me: Ron? Where did you have my necklace?
Ron: Inside my pocket… It’s shining again…
Harry: What’s that?
Me: The necklace which my aunt gave me…
Nymphadora: Let me touch it…

Ron, I and Harry were already touching it, and when Nymphadora touched it too, something strange happened…
I felt everything spinning around me and when I opened my eyes, I saw a very dark garden… Definitely, we weren’t in the Burrow anymore… Ron, Harry and Nymphadora were there too. They looked very confused.

Harry: What happened?
Ron: I don’t know… but I don’t like this place…
Me: Maybe the necklace was a Portkey…
Nymphadora: Yeah… but why didn’t it work the first time you touched it?
Ron: Because… well, maybe they’ve just activated it now…
Harry: I suppose you’re right…

That place was dark and cold and we were scared and confused. We decided to explore it. Ron was holding my hand.

Harry: Where are we? I really don’t like this place…
Me: You’re not the only one… I think we’re lost…
Nymphadora: Well, but Hermione will tell Mr and Mrs Weasley that we disappeared…
Me: Yes! And they’ll look for us… I just hope they can find us before it’s too late…
Ron: Oh no…
Me: What happened?
Ron: Death eaters…

We turned around and saw a group of death eaters coming towards us. Luckily, they hadn’t seen us…

Harry: RUN!!!!!!!

We started running, but we didn’t know where to hide… Ron was still holding my hand while we were running and after a while, we didn’t see Harry and Nymphadora anymore… We hid under a big and dark tree.

Me: Ron… I’m so scared…
Ron: Don’t be… everything will be alright… *he gave me a sweet kiss*
Me: Yes, but are the death eaters still looking for us?

Then, someone spoke…

Someone: Oh yes… we are! But we found you, princess…

I knew that voice and that made me freeze!

Me: Draco! What are you doing here?
Ron: He’s a death eater, as well as his father…
Draco: That’s correct! I didn’t know you were so smart, Weasley… Maybe you are learning some things with Evelyn… well, maybe she’s not as useless as I thought…
Me: RON!

But it was too late… Ron had already punched Draco’s face.
Draco was furious and his nose was bleeding. Then, Draco’s father appeared.

Draco’s Father: Be nice to our special guests, Draco! You should respect the princess, afterwards, she’ll be the Lord’s wife… By the way, I am Lucius Malfoy. Nice to meet you, princess.
Me: I can’t say the same…
Lucius: How rude, princess… The Dark Lord won’t like that…
Me: I don’t care… I won’t marry him! Never!
Lucius: We’ll see… Draco, take the princess inside.
Draco: Ok… but what do I do with Weasley?
Lucius: Put him in the dungeon… he’s unimportant…

And he left… Draco was smiling at us with his usual evil smile.

Draco: How lovely… Weasley and Evelyn… the lovebirds… It will be a pleasure to separate you!

I saw Ron searching for his wand, but he didn’t have brought it with him.
Draco laughed.

Draco: Ah! Where’s your wand, Weasley? You’re not able to fight!
Me: Shut up! *I hugged Ron*
Draco: Ah! Why are you defending him, Evelyn? Can’t you see that he’s asleep?
Me: Wha…

Draco casted some spell on Ron and he fainted.

Me: RON!!! Wake up! Please, my love, wake up! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM, YOU STUPID COWARD?

Draco just laughed and casted the same spell on me.
I didn’t know how many time passed when I woke up. I was in a big room, placed on a bed. The room was a bit dark, but it had a lot of candles which emitted kind of a green light. I got up and sat on the bed. I was so scared… I didn’t know where I was and I didn’t know anything about my friends. Then, someone entered in the room. I was even more scared. But then I saw that it was Nymphadora. She wasn’t hurt. I ran towards her and hugged her.

Me: Dora! I’m so happy to see you!!! What happened? Where are we?
Nymphadora: This is Voldemort’s mansion…
Me: No…
Nymphadora: Yes…
Me: But… what happened? Where’s Ron? And Harry?
Nymphadora: Harry’s really hurt… a woman called Bellatrix Lestrange casted so many Cruciatus curses on him… he’s in the dungeon… he’s fainted… I’m so scared for him…
Me: Oh… that’s terrible… but how about Ron?
Nymphadora: I don’t know… I didn’t see him…
Me: Oh no… *I started to cry*
Nymphadora: The death eaters sent me here… they want me to be near you… I really don’t know why… but they’ll put a dark mark on my arm tomorrow… *she was really scared and started to cry*
Me: Oh… please, don’t cry… we’ll find a way to get out of here…
Nymphadora: No, we won’t… Voldemort plans to marry you tomorrow!
Me: WHAT?

But she couldn’t answer. Someone entered in the room. It was a man wearing black clothes, but I couldn’t see his face. He was scary…

Me: Are you… Lord Voldemort?
Voldemort: Yes… you are intelligent, princess…
Me: Thanks…
Voldemort: I think you must know that you’re going to be my wife…
Me: Yes, my Lord. But, I can’t marry you…
Voldemort: Why not, princess?
Me: Humm… because…

I tried to think about something clever to say… I had to tell him something… something very bad… which would change his mind… then, I had an idea. He wouldn’t want to marry me after that, well, until he discovers the truth…

Me: I can’t marry you, my Lord, because I’m pregnant… Ronald Weasley is the father.

Voldemort left without a word and Nymphadora was looking at me with a confused face.

Part 27 - Nymphadora's Point of View

Me: I trust you. I know that you’ll beat him. And I’ll be by your side… Won’t I? Harry? I’ll be at your side… right?
Harry: I… I don’t know…
Me: Harry? What do you mean by ‘you don’t know’?
Harry: I don’t want him to find you. You know, if he knows about us… I mean, that I have a girlfriend that I love; I’ll find you to find me… I just don’t want you to get hurt.
Me: Listen, if he wants to find you, I’ll find me anyway. If he takes you, he’ll have to take me too.
Harry: you don’t understand. You can’t be serious…
Me: I’m bloody serious Harry!
Harry: Promise me to be careful…
Me: I promise, and you don’t ever try to play the hero* tears in the voice*
Harry: Mmmm… okay, I promise. I’ll just try to stay alive…
Me: Yeah… Don’t leave me, I need you… *cry*
Harry: Don’t cry sweetie.

And so he took me in his arms and kissed me softly on my lips. The kisses became to be more and more passionate and then, Harry stopped brutally.

Me: What’s wrong?
Harry: I thought I just saw… someone…

And so he stood up and walked by the door to see if anyone has seen us.
He opened the door and stood there for a few seconds.

Me: Baby? What is it?
Harry: Nothing. There’s no one up there.
Me: Maybe we should get back downstairs.
Harry: I don’t want to.
Me: What do you want to do then?
Harry: J you know what I want to do…
Me: Harry!! Come on! Let see where the others are!
Harry: Aaaaalllright L

So I took his hand and I stroke it slightly.
We went downstairs and I saw the twins playing outside through the window and then…

Voice: Hey lovebirds!
Me: Hermione! J So good to see you here!
Hermione: Yeah, sorry, I couldn’t come earlier, Harry told me that you awoke on Christmas.
Me: Did he? *looking at him*
Harry: J I had to.
Me: thanks. So, Hermione, how have you been?
Hermione: I’ve been very well, missing all of you guys! That’s terrible! I can’t live 2 weeks without seeing you!
Harry: J We know how much you love us!
Hermione: J Yeah I do.
Harry: Where did you go this year? Same place?
Hermione: Yeah, I spent as usual my Christmas’ holiday in Paris with my parents. It was great fun! What did you get?
Harry: My girlfriend backJ, and some stuff…

I heard them talking but I wasn’t focus anymore on what they were saying. Hermione said she went to Paris. Then it makes me think about my parents, my old school, my old friends… I didn’t have any news from anyone for a very long time now.

My parents didn’t show any sign of life since so long.

Hermione: Dora? Are you here?
Me: Mmm… What?
Hermione: Anything wrong?
Me: I’m fine JL

But I don’t think I convinced her. But Harry bought it without problems.

Hermione: Mmm… Where are Ron and Mimi?
Mrs Weasley: I told Mimi to go to the attic for her dress.
Hermione: Dress?
Mrs Weasley: Yeah, they have planed to make a contest of plays.
Hermione: Okay, I supposed she is with Ron… L
Me: Don’t be sad Hermione; I’m pretty sure you’ll find someone very soon J
Hermione: I hope so…
Harry: Oh girls….
Hermione and me: Oh boys….

And we all start laughing. Harry held me around my waist and Hermione decided to look for Ron and Mimi.

Harry: And what about us?
Me: What?
Harry: We didn’t decide yet what we’re going to play?
Me: I don’t know. I don’t even know if I want to play…
Harry: Oh L you don’t have too if you don’t want.
Me: You really want to do it?
Harry: I’d like to, but only if you are with me.
Me: Okay so what do you want to play?
Harry: I’ve heard Mimi that you love Romeo & Juliet story… So maybe, you’d like to be my Juliet…
Me: And having you as my Romeo!!! AAARRGGHHH!!!!
Harry: *laughing* Thanks, I knew that I’ll disgust you one day J

And so he started to tickle me! I was laughing so hard. I could barely breathe.

Me: Harry!!! *hahahaha* Stop!! *hahahaha* stop it!!! *hahahaha* I can’t breathe!! *hahahaha*
Harry: Okay… I’ll get you later!
Me: I’ll win this time!

He approaches me and he kissed me softly on the lips and on my cheeks.
I couldn’t help but smile because he was so tender. It felt good.

Mrs Weasley: Oh Arthur, see this, aren’t they cute?
Mr Weasley: Yeah, it reminds me when we met…
Mrs Weasley: Yeah me too, but don’t speak about it in front of the kids…
Mr Weasley: Yeah you’re right... KIDS!!!! LUNCH IS READY!!!

Harry: Come on! I’m starving!

So we went in the kitchen to have our lunch. Mimi, Ron and Hermione didn’t show up when we start and they came a bit later and join us.
After this, they all went on a couch and start talking about the script of their play with Ginny and Harry joined them and I stood all alone.

I was looking through the window and I thought about my parents. Why on earth they did show up since I was in coma? Why they didn’t send me cards or nothing else?
I made me sad to think that they had probably forsaken me.
Then, I heard somebody running in.

Mr Weasley: Dora?! DORA?! Where are you?
Me: Over here Mr Weasley!
Mr Weasley: There you are! I have some news…
Me: Some news? From who?
Mr Weasley: Well, Cornelius Fudge…
Me: What does he want with me?
Mr Weasley: He wants to see you. Now.
Me: Why? Why the Minister…
Mr Weasley: Ex Minister
Me: Why the ex minister of Magic wants to see me?
Mr Weasley: He has to talk to you.
Me: Mr Weasley, if you know something, just tell me.
Mr Weasley: I’d tell you if I could, I can’t tell you, I’m not allowed.
Me: What’s going on?
Mr Weasley: Come with me, we’ll go to the Minister by Flow Powder. Take your coat.

So I run to my bedroom and I put my shoes on, and I took my coat. And I got back downstairs.

Harry: Hey sweetie! Where have you been? And… where are you going?
Me: I’ll tell you when I’ll come back okay?
Harry: Where are you going? Why are you leaving?
Me: Harry, it’s too long to explain, I supposed that Mrs Weasley knows so ask her and tell the others if they want to know. I have to go.
Harry: Wait, I’ll go with you!
Me: No, Harry.

He seems so frustrated that I said ‘no’ like this.

Harry: When will you come back?
Me: I don’t know. Don’t worry, I’ll come back. Have fun with the others. I love you.
Harry: Mmm, wait honey; just tell me where are you going?
Me: Ask Mrs Weasley, I’m late sorry.
Harry: Say…
Me: I don’t have time baby, I love you bye.

And Mr Weasley took my hand and led me into the green flame which were already burning and twisting like mad in the fire place, leaving Harry in front of it.
So, I hold Mr Weasley’s hand tighter because it was spinning so hard and it start to give me nausea and a headache.

Mr Weasley: Here we are.

So I start walking to the office where I saw ‘Minister of Magic’ written on the door.

Mr Weasley: Wait Dora!
Me: What are we waiting for? It sounds like it’s a bad new, so I want to know what it is quickly.
Mr Weasley: I know but listen first.
Me: What?
Mr Weasley: Whatever the Minister will say to you, I want you to know that Molly and I consider you like our own daughter. We took care of you while you were unconscious, and we hope that you fell well in our house.
Me: That’s very kind of you and I felt really like home with you J
Mr Weasley: Plus – I haven’t finished – don’t answer the Minister… I know you’re kind of wild and you don’t like to be upset by someone and all… but this time, I have to ask you, not too reply to the Minister, alright?
Me: I’ll try…
Mr Weasley: Okay, here we go…

So he took my hand again and led me to the office. Having him holding my hand feels like he really believed that he is my father. And it feels good.
So he knocked on the door and I heard someone approving us to enter the room.

So Mr Weasley, let me hand go and wink at me with a faint smile.

And I entered.
I was kind of dark. There was just the light from the fire place and a desk with a man behind it.

Man: Hello, Miss Tonks.
Me: Minister.
Minister: Does anyone tell you why you are here?
Me: No.
Minister: Well, that’s good. I was in the regret to bring you here because we have some news for you…
Me: Alright, I’m listening.
Minister: I have to ask you to be brave… I know you’ll be… with such a family like the Weasley behind you, who are here to support you…
Me: Can you, please, tell me?
Minister: Mmmm… it’s about your parents.
Me: Really? Where are they?
Minister: In Azkaban actually.
Me: WHAT???!!!!
Minister: They have been found near the Burrow few hours ago, wands in hands, cursing Unforgivable Curses on a poor kid. And, Aurors found them… I’m sorry to announce you that they have the Dark Mark on their arms. Did you know it?
Me: Of course not!! How can this happen? I’ve been in coma for a very long time; I didn’t know they were with Voldemort.
Minister: How DARE YOU PRONONCE HIS NAME IN THIS OFFICE!!!!
Me: I’m sorry… I can’t believe it L
Minister: We think that they were looking for you, and for Mr Potter.
Me: For me? Why? They didn’t even come when I was in hospital.
Minister: They couldn’t showed up because there is too much of security in St Mangoust and they could have been caught.
Me: And Harry… Oh my god!
Minister: What?
Me: He is my boyfriend. If they want me, if Vol…. you-know-who wants him, and me… Oh my god! He is in danger because of me!
Minister: I’m sorry to give you bad news like this.
Me: Can I leave?
Minister: yes, but be prudent. Don’t walk around… the Death Eaters are still looking for you and Mr Potter. Your parents’ wants you back, they want to get you and send you to You-Know-who to become, like them, a Death Eater…
Me: I don’t want to be a Death Eater… L
Minister: Anyway, take care.
Me: Thanks, bye…
When I got out, Mr Weasley was standing in front of me and he took me in his arms like a father, and I cried hard. The only thing he said was ‘I’m sorry, don’t worry, we’re here’
He led me to the fire place to get back to The Burrow.
So, once again, I was spinning around and I had nausea.

When I get back to the Burrow. The only person I saw was Mrs Weasley who was almost crying, she took me in her arms in a mother embrace. The others weren’t in the living… probably outside, having rehearsals for their plays, not knowing that their friend’s parents are Death Eaters and locked in Azkaban.

Part 26 - Miriam's Point of View

Mrs. Weasley was really angry. She was screaming at us.

Mrs. Weasley: RONALD! ANSWER ME!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Ron: I… I… we… well, Nymphadora wanted to be with Harry, so I decided to leave them alone…
Mrs. Weasley: AND WHY DID YOU COME TO MIRIAM’S BEDROOM?
Ron: Because… because…well, she’s my girlfriend and I didn’t want to go to the living room…
Me: We’re really sorry, Mrs. Weasley…
Mrs. Weasley: Oh, don’t be, dear. You can go to the kitchen, the breakfast is ready. And you, Ronald Weasley… DON’T DO THIS AGAIN!!!!

And she left us. We got up.

Ron: I’m sorry…
Me: Don’t be… by the way, good morning! *I kissed him*
Nymphadora: Your mum was really angry, Ron…
Harry: Yeah, she screamed at us too…

We went to the kitchen and had a delicious breakfast. Mrs. Weasley wasn’t angry anymore and Nymphadora ate more than yesterday.

Fred: Humm… we already know about yesterday night…
George: Yes… so, how was it, Won-Won?
Ron: Shut up…
Fred: Fine… we’ll ask Harry.
Harry: Shut up…
George: They don’t want to tell us…

So, they spent the breakfast laughing and telling jokes about us… But it was funny!
After the breakfast, we went outside to play Quidditch.

Fred: Let’s play! Boys against girls. What do you think?
Me: I think that the girls will win…
Nymphadora: I agree! Let’s play!
Harry: No no no! You can’t play, Dora!
Nymphadora: But why?
Harry: It has been a while since you rode a broomstick! I’m afraid… you can get hurt…
Nymphadora: I’m going to play!
Harry: No! You won’t! You’ll go inside, with me!
Nymphadora: Oh…

And they went inside, but Nymphadora was really upset.

Fred: Well… does anyone want to play?
Me: I do!
George: You can’t play, Mimi! Ron doesn’t want his wife to get hurt! *we all laughed*
Ron: I don’t her to get hurt, but of course you can play, Mimi!
Me: I’d play even if you didn’t let me… *I blinked*

So, we started playing. The teams were boys against girls. Me, Hermione and Ginny were the girls’ team, but Fleur wanted to play too, so she was in our team too. Ron, Fred, George and Bill were the boys’ team.
It was a really cool game! Both teams had a seeker and a keeper, but only one chaser and one beater. I was the chaser and I scored some goals! Ginny caught the snitch, so we won!

Me: Well done, Ginny!
Ginny: Thanks!

We went inside and saw Harry sat on a couch.

Me: Hi! Where’s Dora?
Harry: Upstairs.
Me: Are you angry?
Harry: NO! Leave me alone!
Ron: Hey! Don’t talk to Mimi like that!
Harry: I can talk to everyone the way I want to talk!
Me: What happened, Harry?
Harry: Nothing!
Ron: Harry…
Harry: Go away, you two!
Me: But… Harry, we just…
Harry: Ron, do me a favour and kiss your girlfriend… that will shut her up…

That was really rude from him! Me and Ron left him and went upstairs, looking for Dora.

Ron: I’m sure Harry isn’t alright…
Me: I noticed that…

We arrived at Nymphadora’s room and knocked the door.

Nymphadora: Who’s there?
Me: It’s Mimi…
Ron: And Ron. Can you open this door, please?
Nymphadora: It isn’t locked. Come in.
Me: Thanks…

So, we entered in the room. Nymphadora was sat on her bed. She was really sad…
Me and Ron sat near her.

Me: Dora… what happened?
Nymphadora: Nothing… it’s just… Harry cares too much about me… I’ve been sleeping for four weeks and I want to have some fun now… but he doesn’t understand that…
Me: Yes… he was really rude to me some minutes ago…
Nymphadora: Oh… I’m sorry… we argued.
Ron: Don’t worry… he loves you!
Nymphadora: I know… I just wanted to play Quidditch…
Me: Hey! I’ve got an idea! Why don’t we make a contest of plays? I love acting…
Nymphadora: Me too! That’s a great idea! And Harry won’t say that I can’t participate!
Me: Exactly! We can make some groups and each group presents its play. Then, we’ll see who wins!
Ron: I like this idea!
Nymphadora: Me too! I’m going to tell Harry!
Me: Alright!

And she left us. I was happy… Harry would like this, because his girlfriend wouldn’t get hurt. Suddenly, Ron kissed me.

Me: What was that?
Ron: You are brilliant… you are always so kind to everyone… I love you…
Me: I love you too! *and I kissed him*

Then, we heard someone laughing. It was Fred and George.

Fred: Hey lovebirds! Are we invited for your wedding?
George: Wedding? They already are in honeymoon!

I threw them a pillow. Then, we told them about the contest of plays.

Fred: That’s cool! Me and George will do the best play!
George: Yes! We are the best actors ever!
Me: Ah ah, very funny!

Then, Mrs. Weasley told us that the lunch was ready. Everyone went to the kitchen. We spent the lunch talking about our plays.

Ron: I have an idea! Why don’t we do “Romeo & Juliet”?
Me: That’s a good idea… but we can’t do it, because Nymphadora really likes this play… I’m sure she and Harry will do it…
Ron: Oh… alright. Do you have any idea?
Me: Yes, I do! How about “Corpse Bride”? Of course we’ll do it a bit different from the original story…
Ron: Okay!
Fred: Me and George have already decided! We’ll play “Sleeping-Beauty”.
George: But you are the sleeping-beauty! I’ll play the vampire!
Me: Sleeping-beauty and vampires?! That’s odd…
Fred: We know! That’s why we’ll win the contest!

Then, I noticed that Harry and Nymphadora weren’t having lunch anymore…

I was worried… why Nymphadora and Harry weren’t having lunch with us anymore?

Me: Where are Nymphadora and Harry?
Mrs. Weasley: Nymphadora told me that she didn’t want to eat anymore, so she left. Harry followed her.
Me: Okay…

I finished my lunch quickly and went outside.

Me: Harry?
Harry: Mimi… I’m sorry for the way I spoke to you…
Me: Never mind… Where’s Dora?
Harry: I don’t know… she left the house… I can’t find her… I’m so worried… *he was almost crying*
Me: Oh… come on, Harry… I’m sure she’s alright… Let’s try to find her.
Harry: You are a very good friend!
Me: Thanks… *Harry hugged me*

Then, I saw Ron near us, looking at me.

Ron: What’s happening here?
Me: Harry is very worried about Nymphadora… we don’t know where she is…
Ron: And that hug is supposed to bring her back?
Me: Oh, Ron!
Harry: I’m sorry… I’m going to look for Nymphadora.

And he left us, screaming Nymphadora’s name.

Me: Ron… why are y…
Ron: Let’s look for Nymphadora.

And so we did. We spent the afternoon looking for Nymphadora and calling her name, but we couldn’t find her. We were very worried about her… Mrs. Weasley was very worried too. I was a bit sad… Ron didn’t spoke to me very much.
When the night started coming, Mrs. Weasley told everyone to go to the kitchen. The dinner was ready. It was delicious too, but I wasn’t hungry…

Mrs. Weasley: Mimi? Are you alright?
Me: Yes, Mrs. Weasley…
Mrs. Weasley: But you didn’t eat your chips… Ron told me that you love chips!
Me: Yes, I do.

So, I made an effort to eat all my chips.
After a while, I saw that Nymphadora had just arrived home.

Mrs. Weasley: Where have you been? I’ve been so worried!
Nymphadora: I’m sorry, I didn’t want you to.
Mrs. Weasley: Why did your escape?
Nymphadora: I just wanted to be alone… I think I need to rest.
Mrs. Weasley: Oh and look, you have scratches on your legs. Where did you go?
Nymphadora: Nowhere important.
Mrs. Weasley: Off you go if you want to.
Nymphadora: Thanks.

I wanted to talk to her, but she went upstairs.

Mr. Weasley: Harry? Why don’t you go talk to her?
Harry: That’s what I’m going to do! Thanks, Mr. Weasley.

So, Harry ran upstairs.
When I finished my dinner, I went to the living room. There was a chess-board, which I think was Ron’s.
I started to play chess, alone. Then, someone came near me. It was Ron.

Me: Please, don’t scream at me… I was just playing chess… see? Nothing bad happened to your chess-board!
Ron: Actually, I was going to ask you if you want me to play with you…
Me: Oh… sorry. Yes, of course I do!

So, he sat in front of me and we started playing.

Me: Ron… about what happened this afternoon, I want you to know that…
Ron: Harry was really worried about Nymphadora. He was almost crying and you just tried to cheer him up, right?
Me: Yes! How do you know?
Ron: Harry told me…
Me: See? Why don’t you trust me?
Ron: I know I should, but it’s hard for me to see the fairy I love hugging my best friend…
Me: Well, it’s hard for the fairy you love to see the redhead she loves kissing Lavender Brown…
Ron: Hey! That wasn’t my fault! She forced me!
Me: I know… Promise me that you will always trust me!
Ron: I promise!
Me: Ok! I promise that I will always trust you too. *we kissed*
Ron: I’m tired. I’m going to bed.
Me: I’m going too.

So, we told everyone goodnight and went upstairs, holding hands.

Me: Good night!
Ron: Good night and sweet dreams! *we kissed*

When I opened my room’s door, I saw Harry and Nymphadora sleeping in the same bed. That was sweet! I left the room.

Me: Ron! Ron, come here!
Ron: Wha… oh… those two!
Me: They are cute!
Ron: Yes… well, it seems that I’m going to be alone in my room…
Me: Wait! Stay here… stay with me…
Ron: Great! Well, I’m going to put my pyjama and I’ll be right back, alright?
Me: Okay!

And he left. I put my pyjama and some minutes later, Ron came back.

Ron: I like your pyjama.
Me: But this is the same one I wore yesterday…
Ron: Yes, but I like it.

We laughed.

Me: Oops… let’s try not to wake them up…
Ron: Yes…
Me: Tomorrow we’ll start to prepare our play.
Ron: How many characters will we need?
Me: Three, to start.
Ron: Okay… I’m tired…
Me: Me too…

So, we entered in my bed. Ron put his right arm around my waist and I put my head on his chest.

Me: Good night, sweetheart.
Ron: Good night, my love.

And we kissed, over and over again, until I fell asleep.
I woke up in the middle of the night. I had a nightmare and I was frightened and confused…

Me: Ron! Save me, please save me! I don’t want to go… they want to kill me… please save me!
Ron: Humm… Mimi, what happened? Save you from what?
Me: The darkness… the shadows… they want me… they’ll kill me… I don’t want to go… I don’t want to die… save me!
Ron: Mimi! Wake up! It was just a nightmare… everything is alright now…
Me: Oh Ron, I’m so scared…
Ron: Don’t be… it was just a nightmare…
Me: I know… but… *I started to cry*
Ron: Shhh… I’m here now… I protect you…
Me: Thanks for being here… I love you, I swear I do!
Ron: I love you too… but now, try to sleep again.
Me: I can’t… Ron, can I ask you something?
Ron: Everything!
Me: Read me something, please…
Ron: That helps you to sleep again?
Me: Yes.
Ron: Alright. But I don’t have any book here, so I’ll recite you a poem which I wrote in my book, ok?
Me: Okay! *I kissed him*

His arm was still around my waist and my head was still on is chest. He started to recite the poem, however I didn’t hear it, because I fell asleep again.
Some hours later I woke up. I kissed Ron and he woke up too.

Ron: Good morning, butterfly!
Me: Good morning! But… why did you call me butterfly?
Ron: I think you look like one… you’re sweet and cute and you are a fairy so, like them, you have wings…
Me: Okay… I can be your butterfly… *we kissed*

Then, we heard Harry and Nymphadora talking.

Nymphadora: I love you.
Harry: What?
Nymphadora: I said I love you.
Harry: That’s the first time you say it to me.
Nymphadora: That’s the first time I say it to someone…
Me & Ron: Awwww, that’s so sweet!!!
Nymphadora: Oh… you’re awake… good morning, lovebirds!
Me & Ron: Good morning!
Harry: Well, I think that I should go… we don’t want Mrs. Weasley to scream at us again, do we?
Me: No… but how about a pillow fight? *I threw Nymphadora a pillow*
Nymphadora: Oh… you’ll see! *she threw me a pillow too*

And we started a pillow fight. We were running around the room and laughing. Then, someone entered in the room.

Fred: Good morning, lovebirds!
George: We heard too much noise… is this your honeymoon?
Me: No… but this is our pillow fight! *and I threw him a pillow*

So, they came in and started to play with us! This was really funny! And then, Mrs. Weasley entered in the room…

When Mrs. Weasley came in, we all stopped. There were feathers everywhere. Ron was with Harry with one hand around each other neck and a pillow in the other hand, ready to hit. Nymphadora and I were facing the twins. Nymphadora’s hair was green and had many feathers in it! I looked at Mrs. Weasley. She was really angry. Fred and George tried to hide behind me and Nymphadora. Then, she approached.

Mrs Weasley: All of you. You HAVE TO CLEAN THIS UP RIGHT NOW!!! I DON’T BELIEVE HOW IRRESPONSIBLE YOU ARE!!! OH I SEE YOU TWO, DON’T TRY TO HIDE BEHIND THE GIRLS!!!

Oh no… she called us “irresponsible”! No one had called me “irresponsible” before, and I couldn’t take it. This stupid pillow fight was my idea and I was going to clean everything! And then, Nymphadora started laughing… this situation wasn’t funny!

Me: Don’t laugh. That’s not funny! We’re in trouble!
Nymphadora: *laughing* and so what?
Me: And so, we have to fix it up.
Nymphadora: Oh calm down! This is just some feathers, we are young, we have the right to have some fun, we’re on holiday…
Me: Being on holiday doesn’t mean to be irresponsible!!!
Nymphadora: Miriam, I like you very much, you’re my friend, we share things but I hate when you try to tell me what to do or not to do. This is my life and whatever you say, it won’t change anything.
Me: Oh!!! Is that so?
Nymphadora: Yeah it is indeed!

Mrs Weasley and the others were looking to me then to Nymphadora, and back to me and Nymphadora…
Nymphadora went to Harry’s bed, stood up on it and screamed:

Nymphadora: WE’RE ON HOLIDAY!!! WE’RE FREE!!!! HAVE FUN!!!!!

Everyone started laughing and even Mrs Weasley had a smile on her face. I didn’t laugh and I wasn’t smiling, because I thought that wasn’t funny. And then, Mrs. Weasley left.
I was really upset now.

Me: If it’s like that, I don’t know why I should stay here anymore! I’m leaving!
Nymphadora: No you won’t! It’s too easy to runaway!
Me: I’m not running away, I said I’m leaving.

Ron looked at me with a worried face. Maybe he didn’t want me to leave…

Nymphadora: This means exactly the same. You leave because no one is agreed with you. Being responsible is too much for us, sorry if we are not as serious as you wish…
Me: I’m the one who started this fight!
Nymphadora: Yes, and you’re the first one to feel guilty about it.
Me: I don’t care, I’m not at MY house. In MY house when a parent said we have to stop, I stop.
Nymphadora: You’re right, leave. Return to YOUR home, with YOUR parents, and YOUR laws.
Me: Do you mean that?
Nymphadora: That’s what you say… in YOUR home…

That was enough! I was so upset now… I was almost leaving!

Fred & George: STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP!!!!
Fred: Girls, are you realizing that you’re arguing about some feathers?
Nymphadora: No, I’m not arguing about this, I love having feathers actually! J I’m arguing because I laugh and my laugh disturbed a responsible girl…
Fred: Actually, yeah, you look really good with feathers ;)
Nymphadora: I know, I know *laugh*
Fred: I knew there was something between us… *laughs*
Nymphadora: *laughs*

Everyone was laughing! I have to admit… that was funny! I was smiling, but Ron was crying for laughing!!! And then I noticed that someone wasn’t laughing… Harry. I think he took it seriously, but Fred and Nymphadora were just kidding!
Nymphadora murmured something in Fred’s ear and winked at me and Ron and we winked back. Then, she and Fred spoke out loud.

Nymphadora: Fred?
Fred: Yes my love?
Nymphadora: ‘that was a good one!’ What do you think if we take a walk by the road? You’ll tell me poems and you’ll say all the things you used to…
Fred: ‘not bad’ Yeah, why not! I’ll take your hand and we’ll walk… together… hands in hands… like two… two… two…
Nymphadora: *start laughing* two what?
Fred: I don’t know, you want to be two what?
Nymphadora: I want to be… *she dropped his hands and walked to Harry* I WANT TO BE!!!

Ron, George and I were laughing, but Harry was still furious and jealous… Then, Nymphadora came towards him.

Nymphadora: I WANT TO BE… *looking at Harry in his eyes* in your arms J
Harry: Do you know how much you’re stupid?! J
Nymphadora: I was kidding honey and you took it seriously that what I wanted!
Harry: Here, you can have my arms…

Harry took Nymphadora in his arms and he started to kiss her neck.
Then, Ron grabbed my arm and led me towards the back of the room.

Ron: You scared me, you know? For a while, I thought that you really wanted to leave…
Me: For a while, I thought that too… Do you want me to leave?
Ron: Of course not! I want my butterfly to stay with me…forever!

Then, he put his arms around my waist and kissed me. And then, someone spoke.

Harry: Are we bothering you?

We stopped and looked at him… but everyone was looking at us! I was so embarrassed that my face turned red… I’m sure Ron was embarrassed too, because his face turned red as well.

Nymphadora: Hey! Don’t be so red, you’re such a beautiful couple!

I murmured “Thanks”, but I don’t know if she heard that…

Nymphadora: But please, be careful, I don’t think Molly would like to become a grandmother that early… I think you should wait a bit to have a baby.

Oh… I didn’t know what to say or do, I felt even more embarrassed and Ron too. Our faces were redder!

Ron: *RED!!!* I think we should clean the room.
Me: *RED!!!* That’s a good idea!!!

And that’s what we did. Nymphadora took a bit of time, because each time that the twins found a feather flying around, they tried to catch it and put it in Nymphadora’s hair. That was really funny!
When we finished, we went downstairs to have breakfast. Everyone was already eating.

Ginny: Hey! Why I wasn’t invited for your pillow fight?
Ron: Don’t worry… next time we tell you to participate!
Me: No! It won’t happen again!
Ron: Being responsible again, Miss Pink Mimi?
Me: I’m always responsible!
Ron: I know… By the way, where are Harry and Dora?
Ginny: They already finished their breakfast and went upstairs.
Ron: To Harry’s bedroom, I suppose…
Me: Ron! That’s not your business…
Ron: Yeah… sorry *he laughed*

When we finished our breakfast, I went to talk to Mrs. Weasley, who was washing some plates.

Me: Mrs. Weasley?
Mrs. Weasley: Yes, dear?
Me: Well, I just want to tell you that I’m really sorry for what happened this morning… we won’t do a pillow fight again.
Mrs. Weasley: Oh, it’s alright, dear. As Nymphadora said, you are young and need to have some fun…
Me: Yes, but I’m always very responsible… no one had called me irresponsible before and…
Mrs. Weasley: Oh, sorry for that! Relax, I’m not angry!
Me: But… but… it was my i…
Ron: It was my idea!

No, it wasn’t his idea, but I loved how he defended me!

Mrs. Weasley: No problem… but don’t do it again, alright?
Me & Ron: Alright!
Me: Mrs. Weasley, as you must know, we are preparing a contest of plays and we wanted to know if you have some old clothes or something…
Mrs. Weasley: Oh! Yes, I do! I have many boxes with old clothes which belonged to my grandmother. They’re in the attic. You can use them, if you want.
Me: Thank you very much!

We left the kitchen and went to the living room. We sat on a couch.

Me: Ron, why did you tell your mum that it was your idea?
Ron: Because I want to protect you… besides, you didn’t do the pillow fight alone!
Me: Yes, but…
Ron: It was a noble attitude… you were the only one who talked to her…
Me: I needed to… I needed to tell her that I was sorry…
Ron: I love you, butterfly!
Me: I love you too!

And we kissed, over and over again. And then I remembered that we had to go to the attic, so I stopped.

Ron: What happened?
Me: I think we should stop now… we have to go to the attic.
Ron: Oh… okay. Let’s go.

He grabbed my hand and we went upstairs. When we passed Harry’s bedroom, Ron stopped.

Me: What happened?
Ron: Ah! I knew that they were here!
Me: Harry and Dora?
Ron: Yes! They’re talking…
Me: Ron, let’s go… we shouldn’t spy them…
Ron: Wait a bit! What are they doing? *and he opened the door, but just a little bit*
Me: Ron!
Ron: Oh… they’re snogging… and hugging…

Now I was curious too.

Me: Let me see!

Ron stood back and I could spy them too. Yes, Ron was right, Harry and Dora were snogging… And then, they must have heard us, because Harry stood up and came towards the door.

Me: Run! They heard us!

And we started running upstairs, towards the attic. Luckily, Harry and Nymphadora didn’t see us.
Then, we arrived and came in the attic. It was a bit dark.

Me: Wow… this attic is really big…
Ron: And scary…
Me: Yes… and it’s really dark… I can barely see you…
Ron: Wait… I found some candles!

And he turned them on.

Me: It’s better now!

But the attic was still a bit dark… not as dark as before, of course.

Ron: Well, let’s find the boxes and get out of here!
Me: Alright!

We started to look for the boxes, but they were very difficult to find… After a while, I found a big box.

Me: Ron! Come here! I think I found a box…
Ron: Cool! Open it!
Me: Alright…

When I opened it, I saw some clothes… they seemed really old, but they were beautiful too. We started to look for some dresses which we could use in our play. Then, I found a light grey one… well, I suppose it was white, but it was really old, so it seemed grey. It looked like a bride’s dress…

Me: Ron! What do you think about this one?
Ron: Is that a bride’s dress?
Me: I don’t know… but I think so… it’s beautiful, isn’t it?
Ron: Yes… that’s what we need for the play.
Me: Exactly!
Ron: Put it! I want to see how you look wearing a bride’s dress!
Me: Now? Here?
Ron: Why not?
Me: Alright… but close your eyes! I have to take my shirt off…
Ron: Well, it’s dark here… I won’t see very much!
Me: Ron!
Ron: Okay, okay! *he laughed and closed his eyes*

So, I took off my shirt and put the dress. It was very beautiful.

Me: Okay, you can open your eyes now…
Ron: Alright… *he opened his eyes* Wow… you look beautiful!
Me: Really?
Ron: Yes! You are such a beautiful bride…
Me: Thanks…
Ron: You know what?
Me: What?
Ron: How about if we get married?
Me: Married? In the play?
Ron: No no! In the real life!
Me: But… we’re so young… we didn’t finish school yet… we’re in 6th year and we’re only sixteen years old…
Ron: I know… but I know people who got married at this age…
Me: Oh Ron, I love you… I swear I do… and I’d love to marry you, but it’s just… I think we’re too young…
Ron: Promise me that we’ll get married as soon as we finish school!
Me: I promise!

I was so happy! Ron has just asked me to marry him! I gave him a hug and he kissed me. We were snogging when someone came in the attic.

Someone: Humm… I’m sorry… I didn’t want to disturb you…
Me: Hermione! Come on in! We were just looking for some clothes, to our play.
Hermione: Ok… can I participate?
Me: Of course! We’re going to play “Corpse Bride”.
Hermione: Really? Oh, I love that story! You’re going to play Corpse Bride, I presume… *she looked at my dress*
Me: Yes! I found this beautiful dress inside that box *I pointed towards the box in which the dress was*
Hermione: Yeah, it’s really beautiful!
Me: Yes, it is. What time is it?
Hermione: It’s lunch time. Mrs. Weasley has already told us to go to the kitchen.
Me: Oh… ok!
Ron: Alright, I’m going to the kitchen. Hermione, could you help Mimi with the dress?
Hermione: Of course!

So, Ron left the attic and Hermione helped me taking the dress off. Then, I put my shirt and we went to the kitchen. Everyone was already having lunch. The lunch was delicious, as always.
After lunch, Ron, I, Hermione and Ginny went to the attic to pick some clothes to our play. After that, we went to the living room to write the script.

Me: Alright, I suppose that all of you know Corpse Bride’s story…
Ron, Hermione & Ginny: Yes.
Me: Good! But I wanted to make our play a bit different from the original story. Do any of you disagree?
Ron, Hermione & Ginny: No.
Me: Alright! Let’s choose our characters! I’ll play Emily, the Corpse Bride.
Ron: I’ll play Victor, of course!
Hermione: I’d like to be Victoria!
Ginny: No! I want to be Victoria!

A few minutes later, we decided that Hermione would play Victoria and Ginny would play a very clever skeleton that helps Emily.
We spent the afternoon writing the script.

Hermione: It’s finished!
Me: Yes! Tomorrow it’s rehearsal day and the day after tomorrow is the contest of plays!
Ron: Cool!
Ginny: What we going to do now?
Mrs. Weasley: Now you’ll have your dinner!
Ron: Great! I’m starving! Where’s Harry?
Me: He must be with Dora. I’m going to look for them.

So, I left the living room and went upstairs.
