Saving Him/Fred Weasley

« A DANGEROUS DECISION »

Sara laid in her bed on Saturday morning, her eyes closed, a smile on her lips while a ray of sun crept through the curtains of her window, on her face. She had always enjoyed Saturday mornings, it meant a little bit of peace and right at that moment it meant not having to get up.

"Rise and shine sleepy head!" the door of her bedroom swung open and George came inside with a smile on his face. Sara turned on the bed, her back towards the redhead, and groaned.

"Nooo, get out, let me sleep" George laughed at the girl. And sitting on a chair at the foot of the bed, was Fred also laughing.

"Come on, it's late" George told her while taking the bed sheets on his hands and pulled them back towards the end of the bed.

"Hey! I'm in my underwear!" by this point, Fred was cracking up with laughter.

"Nothing I haven't seen before remember" Sara blushed remembering all the times George had accidentally walked in on her and Fred doing it. George laughed again at the blushing girl and Sara frowned at him.

"It's Saturday"

"It's a quarter past 12, I need your help in the shop" Sara groaned again "please"

"Fine, now go so I can get change" George smiled.

"Terrific, also, a letter arrived for you this morning" he said, handing an envelope to Sara "Hurry up!" he told her and walked out the bedroom closing the door.

"God, he's annoying when he is in a good mood" she told her boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend? Death boyfriend was more accurate. Fred laughed again.

"At least he is in a good mood, he seems better don't you think?"

"I think a girl has something to do with it" Sara told him, thinking of the Ravenclaw girl she had seen a couple times hanging in the shop. Fred grinned.

"Probably. Who wrote you?" Sara opened the envelope, looked at the signature and smiled.

"My mom" she answered and began reading the letter.

Querida Sara

Me alegro de que estés bien, y que tus estudios y carrera en St. Mungos estén floreciendo. Tus hermanos nos visitaron la semana pasada y cuando les comenté no estaban para nada sorprendidos, dicen que siempre fuiste la inteligente en la familia. (I'm glad you're alright, and that your studies and career in St. Mungos are blooming. Your brothers visited us last week, and when I told them about it, they were not surprised, they said you were always the smart one in the family)

Quería hablarte de otra cosa, tu padre y yo estuvimos conversando, y la próxima semana estamos de aniversario, por lo que queremos celebrarlo, ¿no todos los días se cumplen 40 años de matrimonio verdad? Como sea, nos gustaría que tu y tus hermanos nos visiten ese fin de semana. Nos encantaría recibirlos a todos. Avísame si puedes venir. (I wanted to talk to you about something else, your father and I were talking, and next week is our anniversary, and we want to celebrate, it's not every day that you can celebrate 40 years of marriage, right? Anyway, we would like you and your siblings to come that weekend. We would love to have you all here. Let me know if you can come)

Cariños (love)

Mamá

Sara folded the letter, put it back on the envelope and left it on her nightstand table. Then she stood from the bed and pick her towel from the chair, were it was hanging.

"How is she?" Fred asked her.

"Good, she wants me to come home next weekend, my dad and her are celebrating their 40 years anniversary.

"Wow"

"Yeah"

"Are you going to go?"

"Maybe"

After a long day working in the shop with George, Sara was ready to have a well-deserved rest, all she could think about was her warm bed.

"Let's put these products on the shelfs and head upstairs alright?" George told her, and Sara nodded. She could see the exhaustion in his eyes, even though he looked better since a few weeks ago, in an emotional level, he looked truly tired, running the shop on his own was definitely getting to him.

"I was thinking, maybe you should hire someone to help you with the shop" Sara told him while picking up a box full of headless hats and moving towards the shelf she was supposed to put them.

"I did hire someone, Verity, remember?" George replied also picking up a box, this one filled with screaming yoyos.

"I meant someone who could help you with the running of the shop, or even the invention of the products" George stopped putting the yoyos on the shelf and looked at Sara.

"You mean someone to replace Fred?" Sara smiled sadly.

"No one is ever going to replace Fred George, but someone can do his job" she said while putting the last hats on the shelf, then she turned towards the redhead "It's just a suggestion, you look tired" she told him putting a hand on his arm "I worry about you" then she stepped on her tip toes and gave George a kiss on the cheek "Good night".

"You shouldn't worry about George" Fred told Sara once they were inside their bedroom, Fred laying down on the bed with his hands behind his head, Sara sitting on it, her legs crossed, a bowl of pasta in her hands. "We're going to fix this right?" she ate a bit of her food and nodded.

"Yes, but... what happens if we can't fix it? I mean what happens if we can't save you?" Fred sat up, his legs also crossed.

"Well, then you'll have to learn to live with out me, I know it's hard, but you'll have to try" he said with a smirk on his face.

"I'm not joking" Sara told him with a small smile on her lips.

"Me neither, I'm serious. If you can't save me, then you'll have to learn to be without me love, I can't be around forever, it's not healthy for you" Sara sighed.

"I keep thinking about it, about what will happen if we fail you know. I mean, if we don't succeed, I don't want to miss the opportunity" Fred furrowed his eyebrows.

"I don't understand"

"I want to travel again, this time without Hermione"

"I think that's a little dangerous" Fred told her worriedly.

"I know" she shrugged "but I don't want to miss the opportunity" Fred looked at her confused.

"What opportunity?" Sara smiled.

"The opportunity to see you again, be with you again, without Hermione"

"I don't think using the time turner alone is such a good idea" Sara sighed.

"I know it's not ideal, but I also know that if we can't manage to save you, I'm going to regret not using the time turner to visit you, at least one time"

"I still think you shouldn't"

"I don't care" she said standing up "I'm going to do it"

"Right now?"

"There's no time like the present" she answered opening the drawer of her nightstand table and taking the time turner.

"Come on Sara, let's wait for Hermione and you can do it another day" Fred told her also standing up.

"No Fred. It will be only this time that I travel alone, I promise"

"But-"

"No buts, my decision is final" she said putting the chain of the time turner around her neck "3 turns should be enough right?"

"I suppose, it should take you to 1996" Sara smiled broadly.

"Perfect, our seventh year at Hogwarts" she took the time turner and gave it 3 backwards turns "I'll see you soon"
