Why don't you Stay? (Sequel to Kiss me if I'm wrong Fred Weasley Love Story)

Chapter 2 ~ New Years Eve

Song for this chapter is Shoshana Bean - This War

*Fred's POV*

Mums setting up for the New Years Eve party she's throwing for family and friends.

Bill is here with his new girlfriend Fleur. Charlie managed to make it all the way from Romania. Remus and Tonks decided to join us and even Harry and Hermione are here.

But no sign of Kiara anywhere. She should be here. If I wasn't so self centred she would be. I shouldn't have just walked away, it was just an easy option than to stay and hear her excuse.

"Right, I'm off to pick up Emilie and family, will be back in a short while"

Dad leaves the house to go and pick up some old friends that mum also invited. I have no idea who Emilie is, apprently she has a girlfriend who has a daughter.

I wasn't really listening in, I was too busy dwelling on the fact that Kiara isn't here.

"Fred, seriously, will you pull yourself together! This is not like you to be miserable over a girl-"

"But George, she's different. I know how I feel about her but I just don't know how to tell her-"

"-Please Fred, if you're going to start preaching over that French girl you've known for less than a year, please spare me the details"

I scowl at Ginny who is smirking at me from across the living room. I'm trying not to think about her but she's always on my mind and I don't know why.

I've never felt this way about a girl before.

"Emilie dear how nice to see you again"

I hear mum greet who I assume is the woman they were on about. I would go and greet them but I just don't feel up to it.

"-They're in the living room, just through there''

I'm not really in the mood to talk to people right now, I think I'm gonna go outside for a bit, take myself away from the conversation.

Just as I get up I take a glance at the people who walked in and see someone who I recognize but then again don't.

''Kiara?!''

''Fred...?!''

It is, I didn't recognize her at first, her hair is shorter and darker, and straight. I didn't think she could look any better than when I first layed eye's on her.

''Frenchie? Woah, urm you look...different''

George says pretty much what I'm thinking.

''Thank's I guess, just thought I could do with a change, got bored of the massive, curly, lilac mess''

''It looks good, you look good. I didn't think I'd see you again after-''

''-Yeah about that, I'm sorry for just brushing you off, I just didn't know what to say when you asked me''

I just shrug and try and brush the thought out of my mind. I lead Kiara outside into the front feild under the stars, away from the mass of people in the house. Her beautiful blue/grey eyes catch the moon light, making them glow in the dark.

''What was your favourite moment of this past year?''

I try and start a conversation with Kiara. She blushes while smiling, stairing down at her feet and then catches my eyes as she looks up.

''When we had a snowball fight on my brithday, and the last time I saw you in the astronomy tower. Because even through everything, you never gave up on me. You didn't know me that well, but some how you kept coming back for more''

Every inch of my body feels weightless as I stare at her cute little smile. My eye's drift down her left arm and noice a deep, purple line in her wrist. I'm not sure as to wether I should bring it up or not, but I just need to know that isn't what I think it is.

''What?''

''Oh nothing...''

''It's not what you think it is''

Did she notice me staring? Was I staring for long?

''It's not self harm. I...It happened during the final task of the triwizard tournament''

I nod slowly, unsure what to say to that, or wether I should say anything at all. We stand there in silence for a while until we here everyone inside counting down from 10 for the new year.

''Ten....Nine....Eight....''

Right, don't hesitate, now's your chance to make the first move.

''...Seven....Six....Five....Four....''

''Kiara, There's something I need to ask you, I've been wanting to ask you this for a long time now and-''

''....Three...two...''

Come for Godric's sake, you're Fred Weasley, now get a grip.

''Kiara, Will you be my girlfriend?''

''Yes! Oh my Godric yes!''

''...One...Happy New Year!...''

I wrap one arm eagerly around he small of Kiara's back and bring her face to mine with my other hand, kissing her genlty. Our lips moving together in rythem, our nose's crossing in the middle as we tilt our heads each side to get a better angle.

''I couldn't have asked for a better end and begining to a year''

''Me either''

Kiara agrees with me. I didn't notice everyone else join us outside. Both Kiara's mothers stand smirking at us.

''And now, for that surprise-''

Emilie pulls out an envelope from her pocket, Kiara's other mother smiling brightly as Emilie hands the envelope to Kiara. She turns it in her hands, examining the parchment, I notice the Hogwarts crest inbeded into the read wax seel.

''I've been accepted to Hogwarts?! I've been accepted to Hogwarts!...Wait, I've been accepted to Hogwarts...?''
