No Laughing Matter (Weasleys, Open)

[Deleted]

George, like many of the Weasleys, cared a great deal about Vanessa Velmont. He was thrilled she was dating his son, and made a vow to do his part to protect her from her former family. Though they were doing their best to protect Vanessa, there was one thing George and perhaps others didn't take into account...

Freddie and Vanessa had been going out on dates of course, and there was nothing wrong with that. However, there was something wrong with those who had spotted the dating couple in Diagon Alley. Yes, Black Army members had seen Vanessa with Freddie. It was an unfortunate turn in the whole affair, but it was true and the connection was made.

George was about to close up when the two Black Army goons walked in. George acted like a silly fool at times, but he wasn't one. He knew who they were and what they wanted. And they weren't getting it.

"Mr. Weasley," said one of them. "If your son here? We have a few questions for him, and will then leave your shop in peace."

"Or pieces I imagine," smirked George. "Sorry, but whether my son is or isn't here is none of your bloody business. Now leave before I become tempted to hit you with an exploding whoopiee cushion."

... and then all hell broke loose.

The Black Army members removed their wands and George did the same. The Order of the Phoenix member managed to deflect a few of their curses, but then the odds caught up with the aging humorist and he was taken down.

"One last chance..." said the other of the two. "Where is your son?"

Freddie was upstairs in the office working on some paperwork. He'd been finishing up a bit of a deal for a home on the countryside of Scotland away from here. It was a surprise for Vanessa but also a possible way for her safety. It also was a decent place to live if he planned on getting a shop opened in Hogsmeade to compete with Zonko's. He'd put all of his savings off to the side and took them all out to be able to make this purchase. But as he was upstairs his father was off doing something around the shop, but he'd heard a bit of commotion downstairs. He reached over and snagged his wand before creeping downstairs to see what was going on.

The scene that Freddie's brown eyes had gripped upon was one of spellslinging and his father being taken down by two members of the Black Army. ”One last chance... Where is your son?” one of the men had said. This was something that he'd vowed to do, protect the love of his life from a life that she'd never wanted.

A step out of the shadows and he frowned. ”Maybe you should pick on someone a bit closer to your age, leave him alone,” he said holding his wand steady. He wasn't one to go in and start shooting spells of every which way. Maybe he should have but this was what he thought was best.

The question with the obvious answer came out of Freddie's mouth. ”So what does two Black Army blokes want me for, I'm not my father, I do not get my joy from jokes, I will not hesitate to use the unthinkable against you, so you leave him alone, I will answer questions as long as they're not deemed too stupid, make one move at my father or I, or anyone else in this building and you will not make it out of here unless you're sent to St. Mungo's first,” he threatened.

Angelina had gone off to buy a few necessities for the apartment. She was having an overall good day despite needing to run errands. Part of her was ecstatic thinking of her family and how it was starting to grow, the other part (which she kept down deep in her thoughts) was of what might happen with her soon-to-be daughter-in-law's family. From what she was told it sounded like things might get dangerous if the Black Army was to find out everything.

She kept pushing those thoughts deep down though and returned home in a great mood as she walked up to the front door of the shop. She heard commotion inside and knelt down, putting her bags down on the ground in front of the store and peeking in through a window. It appeared George and Freddie were in trouble. Wands were out and there were two people who she had a sinking suspicion were Black Army members.

She turned forward, leaning against the wall and took a deep breath before taking out her wand and rushing in. She came up behind the two men and punched one of them knocking them flat on their behind and she pointed a wand at him, looking quickly between everyone.

"What's going on here?" she asked frantically.

George frowned when Freddie entered the room. He admired his son's courage, but he's rather he died than Freddie be placed into danger. Still, at the moment, the effects of the curse placed upon him kept him grounded and he could not rise to be beside his son.

Meanwhile, the Black Army members grinned at the boy.

"We know about you and the Veltrino girl," said one of them. "We have discovered you two are quite... close."

"Give her up, and we will trouble your family no longer," said the other.

It was then that Angelina had come to the rescue. With one of the BA members down, the other stood cautiously with Angelina's wand in his face.

"They know, Angelina... about Freddie and Vanessa," said George, who began to stagger up as the curse wore off. His voice was far more serious than most who knew him were used to. "They're here to try and scare us into giving her up."

"You can take us down," said the Black Army member who was standing. "But more will come. We will tear down your silly shop brick by brick and burn it's contents to ashes!"

Freddie looked at the Black Army members as they spoke about Vanessa. A frown came to his face as they called her the Veltrino girl. Sure, he knew that was her birth surname but he could play this up for himself. ”Veltrino, not sure if I can recall being close to anyone with that name, but if you're talking about Vanessa Velmont, than no, you're not getting any information from my family or myself, but sure a Veltrino, aren't those the people that own that one place, maybe the Veltrino girl will be there,” he said in the snarkiest tone he could get.

That was when his mother made her appearance and a might bad ass one on that. She managed to take one of the goons down. And t hen his father spoke. ”They know, Angelina... about Freddie and Vanessa, they're here to try and scare us into giving her up.” The Black Army goon that was still standing spoke and Freddie had to say one thing. ”Something you don't realize, a shop can be rebuilt, a life destroyed cannot, send them our way, we're sticking by our family and our friends,” he said seriously and wholeheartedly.

The young man was getting ready to ask the girl he was in love with to move in with him. Of course he wasn't going to give in so easily to them. He didn't care what these men could threaten. With the force of the Order they weren't going to be capable of hurting anyone.

(Putting Dathan here to give him a post for October, hehe)

Dathan waited outside. In case more than George Weasley was inside, he wanted to remain hidden. Some would call it cowardly, but to Burke it was wise. Let the goons be sacrificed. There were plenty more for the Dark Lady where they came from. He listened though as the goons began to go on about the plan, and were on the verge of leaking some very valuable information, information his mistress wanted to be kept within the ranks of the Black Army and especially not given to members of the Order of the Phoenix.

"Damn fools," he whispered. He then lifted his wand and stepped inside. He aimed at the two goons.

"Avada Kedavra!" he said, ending both their lives. He then looked at George and his father. "So hard to find good help these days, isn't it?" His eyes toward them were cold and threatening, despite his calm tone. "Until we meet again." He then apparated away.

Angelina turned and moved out of the way quickly hearing the killing spell from the doorway. She looked down as the two men fell down dead. She was about to say something to the man but he apparated away. She ran over to Freddie and George bringing them both into a little group hug.

"I'm so glad you two are alright." she said relieved. Her legs gave way just then from fear and she slunk to the floor. "I was so scared when I heard them in here but my instincts kicked in and my body kind of just moved on it's own." she explained. She looked over to the two dead men on the ground. "We're going to have to contact the order." she said.

George sometimes even wondered himself how he stayed in such a humorous mood after all he had seen and endured in his lifetime- losing his ear, fighting the forces of darkness, and most of all the death of his twin brother Fred. And now he watched as two dark souls were killed in front of him following the fact that he, his family, and his shop were in danger.

When it was all over, he embraced his son and wife, looking down at the bodies. He nodded about contacting the Order.

"We'd better get them out of here first though," he said. "The rotting corpses of dark wizards aren't exactly good for business." George didn't have the usual gleeful tone in his voice despite joking. He looked at his wife and son. "You know I'm pretty damn proud to have you both as a wife and son." Their Gryffindor's courage was amazing to him. "I'll send an owl to the Aurors about the bodies, and then we can apparate to the Burrow. Dad and mum are better about getting the Order together than I am."
