Unexpected | Bill Weasley

~16~ Confessions

Everyone was super happy when Bill and I announced that we were back together. When everyone went to bed, Bill stayed next to me. My body hurt too much for me to move so I stayed on the couch to sleep. Bill was sitting on the floor, his head resting on my stomach as I played with his long fiery red hair. 

Charlie walked into the living room looking nervous.

"What's up Charlie?" I asked.

He sat next to Bill. "I'm planning on proposing to Rue tomorrow."

My eyes widened. "Really?!"

Bill grinned. "That's awesome."

Charlie smiled. "I told everyone and they're really happy. Mum cried when I told her."

"Rue is going to be so happy, I'm sure of it." I said smiling.

The next day, everyone was super excited about Charlie's proposal. Rue was super confused as to why all us girls were super giggly and why the boys kept acting like children whenever Charlie walked into the room. Bill had to help me around the house since my torso still hurt a lot. After dinner, Charlie asked Rue if she wanted to go outside and sit with him for a bit.

When the couple went out, we were all sitting with giddiness. The twins had tried to spy on them through the window until Mrs. Weasley caught them and dragged them back to their seats. After what felt like forever, the backdoor opened and Charlie walked in, looking upset. He stood and looked at us with sadness in his eyes.

"Oh Charlie...." I said, feeling bad for him.

"Rue said...... YES. SHE SAID YES."

Rue barged in grinning and waving her hand, where a new diamond ring was perched on her finger. "HAHA WE GOT YOUUUUU."

Everyone cheered and clapped, hugging and congratulating the new engaged couple. Hermione, Ginny, Mrs. Weasley and I cooed over Rue's ring.

"It's so shiny!" Ginny said.

"I love it," said Hermione.

"Absolutely gorgeous." I gushed.

"So when's the wedding?" asked Harry.

Charlie grinned. "We were thinking sometime next summer."

Rue looked over to me. "Can you be my Maid of Honour?"

I hugged her. "Of course."

At around eleven pm, Mrs. Weasley made Ron, Ginny, Harry, Hermione, Fred and George go to bed. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley went upstairs too after a while.

"Don't stay up too late alright?" Mr. Weasley said before bidding us goodnight.

Now it was just Bill, Charlie, Rue, Percy and I.

"How about I bring some firewhiskey?" Bill suggested.

Everyone agreed and he went to the kitchen, coming back with a bottle and five glasses. Everyone started drinking, although the three boys were the most drunk. Rue and I were pretty sober, but the boys seemed to be so wasted they completely forget we were still with them.

"You know," said Percy, hiccoughing a bit. "I don't know why you left Fawn like that."

"Yea," Charlie drawled. "She was so depressed. Cried for days."

Rue giggled while I sighed. "Alright that's enough drinking for you boys."

But what Bill said next made me freeze.

"I know," Bill said, his words slurring and his eyes droopy. "It was the worst mistake of my life. Fawn doesn't deserve me. I'm not good enough for her. She deserves someone better than me. I suck. I'm a dick. Lucas, Finley and Damon told me that. I was actually planning on asking her to marry me you know."
