47: Finally Gone

A/N: for experimental reasons, this chapter will be written in third person rather than the first person POV I write it in. Also, quick chapter on what leads to the next chapter ;)

   Shifting on a cold and empty bed, Emerald had woke up from the cold breeze that rolled all around her body. She fluttered her eyes open, still seeing that it was dark outside and in the room. Emerald moved her arms and legs freely in the full bed, there was no Gabriella laying next to her.

Emerald wasn't too worried about where Gabriella went, she even thought that maybe Gaby came to her senses and realized she wasn't really wanted at the burrow anymore. Em had sat up on the bed, now waking up even more. She glanced at the mini clock Ginny had on the nightstand that read eight-twenty two. "Ugh! I need to pee" she told herself.

Swinging her legs over the bed and grabbing her wand, Emerald casted "Lumos" and started to shuffle and tiptoe slowly around the room hoping not to wake anyone.

"Em? Where are you- let me guess...Fred?" Hermione was awake and reading a book under the sheet."Oi! 'Mione I didn't know you'd be up and erm- no I'm going to go pee" Em told her while silently open the door. "Wait!" Hermione whisper yelled. "I'll come with, I'll use it after you" She added while grabbing the sheet to cover her and with her dim light at the tip of her wand, guiding her way to the door.    Together, Em and 'Mione slowly walked all the way up making a few silent creaks and hisses hoping to not wake up the sleeping redheads. After leaving Ginny's, passing the doors of the Twin's and Ron's room, the two wild haired girls made it to the bathroom.

"You go first, I'll just wait here" Hermione said while covering herself and leaning on the door to what Emerald assumed to be Bill's old room."Okay, won't be too long" Emerald added as she twisted the knob to the bathroom door but as soon as she stepped in, the girls had heard a fainted scream.

"Ohhh fuck!" a woman moaned.

The two girls had widened their eyes and slapped their hands to their mouths as they started to hear more moans come from the room above them.

"Yesss! Yesss! Yesss!" the same moaning voice cried.Em and 'Mione started to grow curious and so they were going to share a whispered conversation.

"You don't think that's - it can't be..." Emerald had said, referring to Mrs.Weasley and thinking of reasons why they have so many children. "Definitely not -but... Gabriella wasn't in the room- was she?"

Emerald had shook her head and slapped her hand to her mouth once more, her and Hermione now in shock knowing exactly what was going on. The two girls had stared at eachother and shared knowing eye movements which they both nodded to as well. They both agreed to quietly move downstairs back to ginnys but before they could, there was now banging on the wall.

"Damn Charlie-" Emerald had said, quite impressed on how he had the girl reacting. "Oh Godric--" Hermione and Emerald both had a disgusted look on their face now from Gabriella's screaming so they moved closer to the downward steps.

Once more, Before the two girls could even head back down, the sound of a wooden cracked door had flew open. Emerald had grabbed Hermione's hand letting her know that it was time to leave but Hermione pulled Em's hand back up to stay, didn't want to cause more attention from the sleeping redheads still.

"What in the bloody hell is all that ruckus!" Mrs. Weasley yelled as she started to March up towards the very last room on top. Mrs.Weasley had heard everything that the two girls were hearing, moaning, banging, and more.

Molly made it to Charlie's room where the banging and moaning became clear now. Molly was going to knock if the door was locked but it wasn't locked at all. She swung that door open and immediately became furious at the sight that she had now seen which caused all the commotion.

"Are you out of your damn mind! Causing all this disturbance while your siblings and parents are trying to sleep! YOU COME BACK HOME AND CAUSE THIS MUCH TROUBLE!"

Molly had yelled loud and clear, enough for not only the girls but the whole burrow to hear. Molly had kept yelling at her son as the girl that was on top of him had stood up and stayed in a corner with a sheet around her. As she yelled at her son, she had took her hands and started to slap him recklessly. Hermione and Emerald now trying to hold back their noises that wanted to escape their mouths. Charlie was quiet, which was odd since he was talkative. Charlie didn't have any rebuttal, in fact he was confused.

"And you-" Molly said, moving her attention away from her son and now to the girl in the corner. "You disrespectful little minger foul Minx! How dare you step foot in my home and cause this much disturbance! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!" Molly had took Gabriella's clothes and threw it at the girl so she could stop standing there in nothing but a sheet. Charlie had started to apologize for something he was t sure he was doing but Molly has had enough, she yelled at him once more telling him to pack all his belongings quick and the same for Gabriella.

Another furious conversation occurred but the girls that heard everything decided it was time to leave back down. "We've heard about enough" Hermione whispered while taking the first few steps down. "More than enough" Emerald added in a worried and sick tone.

While heading back down, the girls rushed as they heard two doors slam shut. No more yelling, no more banging, no more fighting. Em and 'Mione had figured that Gaby would be coming down to Ginny's room to grab her trunk and leave so the girls quickly climbed in their beds and pretended to be in their slumber. A few footsteps had came down the stairs and Ginny's door was now open.

Emerald had her face shoved in the pillow as she heard a girl sniffling and crying but also mumbling a few curse words. All Emerald could think about was what if Mrs.Weasley had caught her and Fred. What would Molly think of Emerald if she found out that her and Fred committed a few sins in the house.

With all the thoughts running through Emeralds head, she had fell back asleep and so did Hermione. Charlie, and Mr.Weasley had been getting ready as Molly began to tear up at her son's unbelievable actions. She was already having a bad Christmas week and all she wanted was her family together. Still, Molly pulled herself together and got ready for the rest of the day.

Charlie had all his belongings packed and had met with Mr.Weasley downstairs. Mr.Weasley was obviously very disappointed but he still tried to have a civil conversation away from the awkwardness. On the other hand, Mrs.Weasley came downstairs to meet with her son and husband. In had her hand was a wrapped gift for Charlie but still not a word was said. All three weasley's had took floo powder and wouldn't be back till supper once again.

Secondly, Gabriella was packing all her belongings and wanted to lay next to Emerald to catch a few minutes of sleep before heading back home a day earlier than expected. Once more, Gabriella's movements around the room had now caused Ginny to wake up.

"Can you not be so loud for once" Ginny scoffed as she tried covering her ears with her pillow, but she hadn't known yet about this morning. Gabriella took it as Ginny being funny.

"What are getting it?" Gabriella asked her but didn't seem to care. "If this is about earlier, he forgot to cast muffliato that's it. Godric, sorry for getting your brother sent back earlier... not my fault he was so good and-"

Gabriella once again had got carried away with talking and just like she woke Ginny for being too loud, Emerald and Hermione had woke up once more. "Gabriella what the fuck are you talking about!" Ginny yelled while standing now, off of her bed.

"This morning. Me and Charlie -" Gabriella's was cut short once Ginny had jumped on Emerald pulling her off the bed so she could have Gabriella in one spot. Emerald and Hermione were now fully awake and aware of what Ginny was going to do.

"YOU SHAGGED MY BROTHER! AND NOW HE'S ALREADY GOING BACK?! YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Ginny had tackled Gaby on the bed as Gaby was trying to fight back but she couldn't."Ginny! Ginny! I love this but - let go! She's not worth it!" Emerald pleaded and now grabbed Ginny off of Gabriella and turned her around so Ginny could calm down and not face towards Gabriella. She was struggling to keep Ginny tamed but good thing Ginny had just woke up still tired and tired again as she used a lot of her energy already.

Emerald was now holding Ginny back as Gabriella brushed herself off and stood from the bed. Hermione had just left to see if Ron or the Twins would be awake to help before Ginny absolutely destroys Gaby. Ginny had finally calmed down while Emerald held her in the corner, away from Gaby.

Despite the fact that Gaby had just got beaten and roughed up, she was chuckling away. The same chuckle that would set Emerald off. It made Emerald think of Gaby when she'd laugh at Fred's jokes or when she laughed at Em on top of Fred. Hermione was still trying to wake the boys up for help even though things have got settled, well at least things with Ginny and Gaby.

"What in the fuck are you laughing at? Gin almost killed you" Emerald said while still obtaining a calm redhead girl in her arms."Just the fact that someone is fighting for you. It's pathetic." Gabriella said while wiping her bloody lip and standing up now."Fighting for me?" Emerald said while she finally unattached herself from Ginny. "I could fight my own battles. You're just not worth it" Emerald told her while slowly approaching her.

Hermione had finally got the boys awake and was currently catching them up on everything. Charlie and Gaby, Mrs.Weasley, and soon about Ginny.

"Fight your own battles then Em. Come on. Hit me" Gabriella teased, now Emerald stepped forward to the beat up girl and was just a few inches away. "Besides Fred, I have no other reason to fight a worthless whore." Emerald spat in her face.

Without any hesitation, Gabriella had placed her hand on the beautiful golden necklace around Em's neck. Gabriella tucked on it tightly and pulled it right off of Emerald's neck and tossed the now broken chain on the bed."There, a new reason" Gaby said.

In shock Emerald had dropped her jaw at what Gaby was bold enough to do, but it made Em even more made. Em had now seeked death. "You-...YOU-FUCKING-BITCH" she yelled.

Even with the door slightly closed, the boys and Hermione still could hear Emerald yell. "Snow?" Fred questioned as he was scratching the back of his head, still tired. They had heard a loud thump of something hitting the ground and that's when George stood up from his bed grabbing Fred up as well and letting Hermione lead the way with Ron.

Emerald was on top of Gabriella now, swinging her hands on the sides and in front of Gaby's face."THAT- WAS-MY-MOTHER'S-YOU-FUCKING-SLUT" between every word Em had yelled, she threw in punches from left to right as Gaby started to cry and try to escape from being weak.

"Yeah Emerald! Beat her arse! That's what you get-" Ginny had cheered on Em as she was on the ground, pissed and beating Gaby ruthlessly. But sadly, Ginny cut her cheers as the door flew wide open, now Hermione had came flying in with the three redheads behind her.

Emerald had heard yelling but blocked them out. Fred had pulled Emerald off of the girl that laid on the ground looking more beaten than before. Fred yelled "YOU SICK FUCK" in Gaby's face. George had pulled Gaby up and sat her on the bed, passing the girl her trunk and saying "You need to leave. Now." And so out of kindness, George and Ron helped the weak girl downstairs and threw floo powder at her in the fireplace, yelling out her address. Now back upstairs, Fred had carried Emerald all the way up the few broken wooden steps and into the bathroom. Fred then sat her on the sink so she'd calm down as he was worried as well.

The Frustrated girl that sat on the sink began to let a few tears escape from her irritation and how she let her anger take over. "It's okay, don't worry about it" Fred told the girl as he rubbed her back to comfort her. "She's gone now. It's fine." Fred had started to wipe Emeralds tears away. She could barely speak from all the yelling but she had calmed down from Fred comforting her.

"I don't give a shit about her. I-...My necklace" Emerald managed to say as she pointed to her neck. Gaby had gone brutally hurt, but all Emerald had was a scratch on her neck from Gabriella's sharp nail pulling the necklace off and a cut on her arm from Ginny who tried escaping.

"Granger is fixing it. George and Ron took Gaby down. Ginny is waiting for you, to give you a proud hug." Fred tilted Em's chin up to examine her neck but there was till only just one scratch, not even bleeding. Fred had pressed a kiss on her scratch but got carried away and moved to the sensitive side of her neck.

"Fred seriously? Uhh shit- can I atleast get up" Emerald said as she stood from the counter "I just can't resist when you're mad- Just so fucking beautiful" Fred told the girl in front of him as she dropped down from the sink. "Maybe I'll take care of you later as a thanks. But Maybe" she teased while standing up now but leaning on the bathroom sink.The couple started to smash their lips together, Emerald had been feeling a rush of adrenaline from earlier and needed to take her mind off of everything but before things escalated, she pulled away from Fred gripping her hips tightly.

"What about Gabriella? - her and Charlie...I mean that's your whole brother and Gaby was your mate. Isn't that a bit weird for you?" Emerald asked the heavily breathing ginger. "Yeah but I could care less about her. She's gone and never coming back. Besides, the only girl I care about is standing right in front of me" Fred said while smiling at the beautiful girl beside him. "But Charlie....this is so unlike him. I don't know. Maybe he really needed to lay some off"

After a few seconds, Emerald had to pull away from Fred to respect herself and her 'No Touching' rule. She wanted Fred to be the first to give in and the first to lose their game. Yesterday they had shared a conversation in the kitchen that whoever touches the other first, loses. And now with a soon to be Empty Burrow, Fred and Emerald had many things planned individually in their head.

Fred had went back to his room and seen that George was getting ready. Ron and Hermione had wanted to catch up on some more sleep so that's what they did. Ginny had been waiting for Emerald and as soon as Emerald opened the room door, Ginny attacked her with a huge hug.

"You're brilliant!" She yelled excitedly. She pulled out of the hug but still tugged on Em's arms. "That was my first time seeing a hufflepuff fight-remind me to never underestimate you lot!" Emerald had chuckled and jumped up and down with a very happy Ginny. Emerald had stopped once she felt dizzy.

"I'd be lying if I said it didn't turn me on...never mind that, I see why Freddie likes you" Ginny had added. "Gin!" Emerald said as she tucked herself back into the covers and watched Ginny do the same. After all it was still early in the morning so almost the whole burrow would fall asleep again.

Emerald had so many thoughts about how she'd get Fred to crack and be the first to touch her, but what she didn't know is that Fred would throw a few tricks as well.

About an Hour had passed by and George had been gone. Ginny woke Hermione and Emerald up to help her with picking an outfit to see Harry. Ron gave Ginny a lecture and told her to stay away from Harry but 'Mione and Em had calmed him down. Ginny had settled for a lovely jumper and jeans with a scarf and Beanie to match her mittens. Ron and Mione had worn something similar.

The two redheads and wild- Curly headed girl had been getting ready to leave by floo powder to meet their dear friend. "Alright Em, Freddie." Ginny said while nodding at the two who stood far away from each other. Ginny was the first to take off. "Diagon Alley" she yelled while throwing powder down. Ron had copied the girl that went before him and now left Hermione to go last.

Emerald held the pot out to Hermione as she went in the fireplace, Mione took some powder but didn't throw it down yet. "I know you two can be Animals- just please behave and don't recreate a scene like earlier" Hermione sighed."No worries, I'm just going to be in the room. By myself. Alone. Not doing a single thing" Emerald had hinted. While giving Hermione a knowingly nod. Fred tilted his head and narrowed his eyes.

"Yeah Granger, no worries. I'm going to be in my room fully naked" Fred smirked but the girls just scoffed at his comment.

"Um- erm ..Alright I better be off. It's only One but we'll be back around five or six for supper just like Mr and Mrs Weasley will be back around the same time" and after catching her breath from all her chattering, Hermione finally took off and met with Ron and Ginny at Diagon Alley.

In the living room of the burrow stood a beautiful girl and a handsome boy who absolutely found each other irresistible. They were now alone, both wanting to touch the other.

But starting now, they were going to see who can go the longest without wanting or needing the other.

To see who'd be the first to take control.

Sorry y'all, wanted to save all the very juicy scenes for the next whole chapter. I realized that this book is very much all over the place and I didn't realize till now but I'm not going to be changing anything. This was just a learning lesson I suppose.
