Saving Him/Fred Weasley

« AFTER »

Sara fell asleep in Fred's arms, with her head on his chest, feeling safe, loved, and warm in his embrace, a feeling she was used to have, but since the war, she missed it dearly. It wasn't her intention to fall asleep, but as soon as Fred laid down beside her and wrapped his arms around her shoulder, pulling her against his torso, she also wrapped her arms around him, and in a mater of minutes, she was softly breathing and snuggling her head against his collar. When Fred looked down at her, he knew immediately that she was no longer awake, and closing his eyes, he let the sleepiness take over him.

"When do we have the DA meeting again?" Matilda sighed at her friend's memory, or lack of it.

"Tomorrow Sara, at the same time than last week"

"Oh right" Matilda rolled her eyes at her friend playfully.

"You should carry around a calendar or something, really, you always forget everything" Sara smiled.

"Well, it's good that I have you then to remember me everything" she said giggling, and Matilda smiled.

"I expect my payment soon though" Sara laughed, her head tilted back, and with her left hand she softly pushed her friend's shoulder.

"Oh, shut up"

"Hello ladies" Sara and Matilda looked up and faced the three Gryffindors that had been hanging around them since Sara and Fred had made their relationship official.

"Hello boys" the blonde said, "what brings you here in this lovely evening?" the three boys grinned at each other and sat down in front of the girls, on the Hufflepuff table.

"Dinner of course" replied George, putting a chicken leg on his plate.

"Yeah, right, you never sit with us" Matilda replied to the boy "Why now?"

Without even realizing it, Sara stopped listening to the conversation and looked up at the ginger in front of her, the boy's attention seemed to be on his brother's conversation with her friend as he appeared to be looking at Matilda and George as they spoke, he had his head on his hand, a smirk on his lips, and a glint of mischief in his eyes. Not even looking at Sara, the boy, extended his other hand and took hers, intertwining their fingers, and slowly rubbing his thumb against her skin. Sara, still looking at him, smiled contently.

"You're staring" he whispered, not even giving her a glance, but the smirk still presented on his face. Sara's eyes widened and a blush crept up her neck and to her cheeks, she hadn't noticed that Fred was paying attention to her, he looked to absorbed in his brother's conversation with Matilda.

"Git" she whispered back, and his smile extended.

"No fucking way!" Sara heard her friend said suddenly "There is no way in hell that I would try your products" that phrase was enough to bring Sara's attention back to the conversation.

"What?" she asked. Matilda turned her attention to her friend.

"These idiots want to test some of their products on us!" Sara laughed.

"Yeah, right" she said sarcastically, but then stopped laughing when realizing they were serious, instantly she let go of Fred's hand.

"Listen to me Fred Weasley" she said in the tone she knew he feared most, the boy looked at her and gulped "don't even think about it giving me or Matilda those things alright? Not if you want to be single again. I'm not going to let you, or you" she said pointing at George "transform me into a canary! So, don't even think about it"
