Weasley Charm | Fred Weasley

Chapter 6-10: Christmas at the Burrow

Christmas morning quickly came. It had been three days since Harry, Ron, and Ginny stayed at Fred and George's flat. It was also the first day Delaney felt like she could walk in any form of normal. Her legs did hurt if she made sudden movements, but that was just a small price to pay for that amazing night with Fred. That was a night they had both been longing for since Delaney went back to school.

Delaney woke up a bit early on Christmas morning to put a bit of makeup on and wrap Fred's gift while he continued sleeping. She was sure to tip-toe quietly around his room, just until she made it to the bathroom to get ready. She did her typical skincare routine before putting on a small amount of makeup including, mascara, concealer, and blush. She pulled her hair back into a braid, pulling out small baby hairs once finished.

After leaving the bathroom, she quietly made her way to the living room to wrap Fred's present. She got him two new button-down shirts and a matching tie for work that she thought he would look quite dashing in. Once she finished wrapping his presents, she quietly walked back to his room, stuffing his presents under his bed.

After all that was done, she started getting dressed for the day. She put on a pair of mom jeans and the jumper Mrs. Weasley made her the previous year. Though she would have loved to wear Fred's, she knew it would mean a lot to Mrs. Weasley for her to wear hers. But, before she could even slip on her jumper, she heard a raspy voice ring out from the bed.

"Talk about a great way to wake up," Fred smirked. Delaney stopped to look at him in only her jeans and a red lace bra. "Oh please, don't stop on my account."

"Do you just have a special talent that can sense when I'm naked?" she rolled her eyes, smirking as she slowly pulled the jumper over her head, knowing she was putting on a show.

"If I do, I'm certainly not complaining," he grinned, sitting up to stretch. As he stretched his shirt lifted, revealing his v-line and toned chest underneath. Delaney's eyes absentmindedly began surveying his body. "Like what you see, darling?"

"Maybe I do," she grinned, snapping back into focus. Her eyes eventually found his again.

"Keep looking at me like that, and we may not make it to Christmas at mum's," he teased, his smirk turned mischievous as he walked closer to her, his thumb raising her chin closer to his lips.

"Fred, we have to go to your mum's. If we don't show up, it will only raise suspicion with her and Remus," she reminded him. Though, she'd want nothing more than to spend the day with him the way he meant.

"We can be a little late," his lips slowly connected with hers. It felt like pure bliss for both of them.

"Try explaining that to Remus," she giggled, slowly pushing herself off of him.

"Oh fine, we'll go," he said, clearly reluctant.""Oh, but before we go. You'll have to open one of your presents here. Not at the Burrow in front of everyone."

"You're making me nervous by saying it like that," her eyes narrowed at him.

"I think you'll like it. I know I do," he smirked, holding out a small garment box.

She took the box from his hands, her eyes never leaving his, and began opening it. Inside, she found pink tissue paper held closed by a sticker that read, Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. She ripped the tissue paper, eyeing Fred, who still had a large smirk on his face. Inside the tissue paper sat two sets of lingerie she had her eye on a few weeks before. The first set was a set of white lace bra and underwear. The second was another black set. Only this black set had hints of shimmery silver lace as well. Both pairs of underwear were high hipped, all lace, thongs. They weren't much different than the underwear Delaney typically wore, and Fred knew that, of course.
