Short chapter to fill in a few things and to transition us to our next time jump! Love you all!
The next morning, you lazily climbed down the stairs of the burrow and headed down into the kitchen. Bill and Fleur were speaking in hushed, agitated tones before you came in.
Their argument ceased when they saw you. Fleur looked on the verge of tears.
Shit.
Was she upset about last night?
"Morning," you said cooly.
Fleur bustled over to you and planted a soft kiss on your cheek. "Morning." She scooted past you and out of the kitchen. Bill watched her the entire time, eyes full of affection and regret. He finally smiled at you and said good morning.
"Oh, god. Please tell me last night didn't cause a rift between you two," you breathed.
"No! Oh, fuck's sake, no. Sorry. My contract this summer kept getting pushed back, but the bank contacted me this morning. I have to leave tomorrow for the rest of summer..."
"Fuck, and Fleur is only here for the summer..."
"Right." He placed his coffee mug on the counter and squared himself towards you. "I-I really like her. I know we've only been together two months, but she means so much to me. Do you remember what I told you about love back last Christmas?"
"Yeah...You said you weren't one for love and romance. And now you're smitten," you noted.
"I-hm," he huffed. "You told me that you thought it would get lonely because you would want to share it with someone. I never thought I'd want to share my adventures with anyone. When I tell Fleur the things I've done and the places I've gone, she looks at me like I'm the most important person in the world. It's like every ounce of her is focused on me. I just feel so bloody good all the time. Is this what falling in love is like?"
Bill was slightly avoiding your gaze, anxious to hear your response. You thought about falling in love with Fred. With George.
"It is, Bill. It is. Fred and George they...they make me feel like the most important person in the world."
Bill smiled gratefully. "I know what I'm going to do. Do you want to hear it?"
"Of course!"
"I know it's a lot to ask, but I'll ask her to wait for me. Wait that one month, and I'll come back to her. Whether she's still here or back in France or on the other bloody side of the earth. My next job likely won't be until after Christmas, so I'll just take her away. Take her everywhere. Share my world with her."
"Bill," you smiled. "That sounds lovely, and I think she'll say yes. She clearly cares about you."
He looked like he was about to bolt out of the room, but he hesitated for a moment. "You said Fred and George when talking about falling in love. I-I thought you picked George." He watched you curiously, and you realized none of you had caught him back up on your boomerang love affair.
"We talked about the whole thing. How I was kind of forced into a decision when I wasn't fully ready. Now, we're back at square one. Splitting my time between two vying lovers," you laughed weakly.
"Maybe...maybe you don't have to choose," said Bill.
"Bill, I can't be in a lifelong throuple with two twin brothers. What will people think? What will your family think?"
"Darling, there are so many ways around it if you really think about it. Sod what other people think. As far as the family, well you have my big fat seal of approval, and I reckon Charlie's too. Ginny will definitely be okay with it too. Might take Ron a bit to come around, but I know he would. Mum and dad...well, who knows. They are a bit more traditional, but I do know they just want us all to be happy, and they know they raised untraditional children."
