Scars 🗝 F. W.

30. Together

The green flames engulfed Fred, she was about to walk into the fireplace, but Ginny grabbed her wrist she turned around and cocked her head.

"Sorry, I just haven't said sorry, yet Hermione told me about the trial and it's truly horrible" Ginny gave her a sympathetic smile.

She smiled back at Ginny and hugged her.

"I don't have the week of like you and Mione, but I'll be here for the weekend, so if you need anything I'm here" she hugged her tighter, sometimes Ginny's cockiness and pushy attitude blinded Constance but the truth was that she was one of the greatest friends she'd ever had.

"Thanks Gin" she smiled at her as they broke away.

"Let's get to the burrow then, they'll think we've gotten stuck" Ginny chuckled as Constance stepped back into the fireplace.

The flipping feeling, she was getting familiar with returned as green flames licked her vision.

She stumbled out of the fireplace trying to regain her footing, a familiar warm feeling filled her as she finally looked up at the burrow.

"There you are, thought you might have flown away" Fred teased walking towards her.

"Constance!" she almost jumped as she turned around.

"Oh! Dear, how are you?" Mrs Weasley rushed towards her burying her in a warm comforting hug.

She smiled to herself, "I'm okay, how are you?"

"Oh, I'm fine, it's so nice to have you here again!" Mrs Weasley beamed at her, she smiled at the woman.

"Thank you for having me" she said politely.

"Oh, anytime darling" she smiled at her, then peered around her looking at Fred.

"I didn't get a welcome like that mum" he grinned.

"Oh, shut it" she waved her hand at him as if dismissing his point entirely.

"Oh, Fred do you have anything to tell me?" she was grinning at her son.

He came and stood next to Constance and rubbed his chin.

"I don't think so" he shrugged after a minute.

"I've heard it from Ginny and George, but you still haven't told me" she mocked looking between Fred and Constance.

"Mum I really do-

"Stop with the teasing already" she waked him with a tea towel that seemed to appear out of thin air.

"Mum!" he recoiled.

Constance started laughing and he glared at her.

"Actually, something did come to mind now you mention it" he teased again, as Mrs Weasley tapped her foot on the floor expectantly.

"Mum this is Constance Swallow-

"I know that Fred you are trying my patience boy!"

"My girlfriend."

Mrs Weasley smiled widely, "I knew he liked you as soon as you came back from the quidditch world cup, every minute he would ask if he could go check on you."

"Mum-

"Oh, and on Christmas when you came down with that nice dress and I know my children and he was speechless."

"Mum!"

"Oh, not to mention when you left early, he was like a moody teenager all over again he was so grumpy" Mrs Weasley was laughing and Constance smirked.
