Chapter 35: Air Full of Sorrow and Anger

The family went outside and circled around James, who was holding the new broom he got. "Alright then. Teams... Let's see... We're with 17 players... That means 3 can't play..." He said, and he looked around. "Any people who volunteer not to play?" He asked, and Albus, Rose and Tyler - for he had a hurting ankle - sat down with the adults. "Okay... Then, I will be the captain of team red and Annabeth, you can have team blue." he said, and he eyed her daringly. "Ladies first." he said, and she looked around.

"Can I choose two at once?" she asked, and James shook his head. "Fine. Lysander." she said, and the blond boy went to stand next to her.

James looked around. Albus knew what would happen. If he chose Lorcan, Annabeth would choose Quinn and they'd have an immediate head start. If James chose Quinn, Annabeth would have both Lorcan and Lysander, the top Beater team. "Hmm. Quinn." he said, and Annabeth chose Lorcan. "Fred." The redhead joined his best friend.

Annabeth chuckled. "I don't know all of you. Erm, Dominique." she said.

"Okay, erm, Molly." said James.

Annabeth looked around again. "You. I'm sorry, I forgot your name." she said, pointing at Lucy.

"It's Lucy." said James before Lucy could say anything. "I pick Hugo." he said.

From Annabeth's left Lucy whispered something in her ear. "Oh, good one. Scorpius."

James was up next. "Louis."

"Well, I suppose I'll pick Roxanne." said Annabeth, and as she was the last, Lily joined her brother.

Charlie would commentate, and they all circled around the field. "Alright then. Team blue - under Ravenclaw Annabeth - versus Team red - under Gryffindor James. Let's see who will win, shall we? On one side we have keepers Fred and Dominique, Beaters Louis & Hugo and Lorcan & Lysander, Chasers Quinn, Lily & Molly and Roxanne, Scorpius & Lucy, and last but not least Seekers James and Annabeth. May the best win!" he said, and Harry walked onto the field to release the balls and throw up the Quaffle. "Alright, here we go then. The match has begun! The Quaffle is released and immediately confiscated by the great Chaser Quinn. She passes the ball to Lily, who races towards Dominique - hold on, Lucy takes over the Quaffle and passes it to Scorpius. What a race going on there. Ouch, that Bludger Lorcan released must hurt, am I right, James? No, he's fine."

"There he goes, Scorpius flies gently through all of them, well, gently, he knocks Quinn over, there he goes, passes the Quaffle to Roxanne - she aims, and scores! 10-nil for team Blue! Lysander makes a nice hit but Fred manages to avoid it. There goes the Quaffle again, Molly has it and passes it to Lily, to Quinn, and back to Molly. This might actually work- what did I tell you? They score! 10-10! Let's see, have James and Annabeth spotted the lovely gold yet? No, they haven't. Too bad, they haven't beaten my awesome super-quick record. Wait a second, is that the Snitch? No, I'm just kidding. Oy, I said I was joking Mum, gerroffme! Anyways, Blue has scored again! 20-10 for Blue!"

Albus looked at the match with great interest, enjoying Charlie's commentation. "Another score! 40-20 for Blue! They're going great! However, it seems like that Bludger has knocked Dominique to the ground. Oh dear, it seems Lily is using this opportunity to score... Yes, 40-30, but Dominique is up on her broomstick again, and manages to stop the next ball from Quinn! Well done! There-" he stopped for a moment, and Albus looked sideways to see what was going on. The match seemed to stop for a moment too when people realized what was happening. Next to the house, a little away from the field, stood George, yelling at Gwen. "George? What are you doing?" yelled Charlie, and he - along with  the other adults - as the match stopped shortly as well - ran towards them.

"Charlie! Why are you dating... this?" yelled George, and Albus figured George knew what her father had done, even though he didn't know himself.

Charlie took Gwen's arm. "Because I love her." he said, but George shook his head. He lunged forward but was stopped by Aunt Angelina.

"Calm down, honey. Let's just go ins-"

"No! Her father is Rookwood! Her father killed Fred!" he yelled, and suddenly everything was quiet. "He killed Fred. And she's his son. Have you ever heard the story behind Rookwood killing Fred? Well? He did it because of his daughter. This girl was a Death Eater!" George yelled.

The happy air had faded, and it was filled with sorrow and hatred. The match was to continue with just the kids, without the parents - as they probably didn't want to fight in front of everyone. Albus however, as he didn't have to play, decided to grab his Cloak of Invisibility and follow the others.

"Charlie. I can't believe you. How can you date someone who did something so despicable." said Grandma Weasley.

Charlie shook his head. "She never killed anyone. And she's not a Death Eater anymore. She was probably under the Imperius Curse." he defended, but Grandma Weasley shook her head.

"She's a disgrace. Send her away. You know George can't handle this."

"But-"

"No buts. Make her leave." said Grandma Weasley.

Charlie nodded. "Okay. But I'll go with her. I thought you'd be more accepting. Goodbye." said Charlie, and he walked off.

***

In the end, team Red had won because James had caught the Snitch, but no one really cared about the match anymore. Charlie had left with Gwen, George had locked himself in his room - with Angelina - and Grandma Weasley was furiously cooking her anger and sadness away. For the rest were people just being angry inside - as it was raining like mad. England... Albus was playing Exploding Snap with Tyler and Quinn for the rest of the afternoon. However, Albus couldn't handle the mood in the house.

"Guys? Do you want to go outside? Take a walk?" he offered, and both Tyler and Quinn seemed glad to  be able to leave as well.

And so it was, they left the Burrow - with some Galleons and Pounds with them - and started on a walk. "So, Tyler," started Quinn, breaking the silence. "How are things between you and Luke right now?"

"We're not on speaking terms, really." he answered shortly. "What about you and Fred? I mean, he broke up with you, do you know why yet?"

Quinn shrugged. "I have a hunch. I think he's dating a Muggle." Tyler and Albus stopped in their tracks.

"What?" said Albus, and she nodded casually.

"He was feeding a Muggle in the forest, apparently I told Albus that he freaked every time someone said the word 'Muggle' - remember I was held hostage for a while - also, I could swear I overheard him talking to James about how he did have a girlfriend and James begging him to tell who it was but him saying he wasn't going to tell." she said, and Albus nodded, as they continued walking.

"That makes sense, yeah. We should ask him when we return."

Quinn shook her head. "I don't think we should, there's enough going on with them right now, we sh-" she stopped in her tracks. "Is that him?" she asked, pointing to a Muggle pub - a redhead was snogging someone with brown hair. He looked like Fred. "Shall I call out to him?"

"No... Let's approach them first, that way they can't flee..." said Albus, so they casually neared the pub. Then, Quinn started talking some rubbish and indeed, the two broke off, and indeed, they were Fred and the Muggle.

"Quinn, Albus, Tyler. Wh-what are you doing here?"

Albus answered shortly. "Walking." The Muggle's eyes landed on him.

"Hi Albus." she said, and Fred raised his eyebrows. She seemed to notice. "Fred, calm down, I met him in the Forest." Fred nodded.

Albus tried to hold back a laugh. "So... You're dating a- a.." He wanted to say Muggle, but instead he went with "Girl?"

The Muggle raised a brow and chuckled. "Is that so special? Fred? Do you have something to tell me?" she asked, and Fred shook his head.

"No.. He's being weird." The Muggle looked at Tyler and Quinn.

"I know you," she said, pointing at Quinn, "But I don't know your name, and I have never seen you before..." she said.

"I'm Tyler. This is Quinn." said Tyler.

The Muggle shook their hands. "I'm Alice." she said.

"Well, Alice, shall we go again?" said Fred, and Alice nodded. "Also, don't tell my dad or anyone else. Please?" Albus nodded and Fred and Alice walked off again.

Hey!

So.. Have you thought of suggestions for the special for 2K yet? Please tell me, I could do a whole load of things, another different POV chapter, a chapter that's twice as long as usual, or just suggestions of what happens...?

Also, thank you so much for staying on track and please comment! =)

Love,

Florence
