Adored - Fred Weasley

Chapter Thirty Two

Despite now being underwater, you and Fred's lips stayed connected. 

You felt both of his hands curve around your lower back and then lift you out of the water.

The two of you emerged back into the surface, briefly breaking from the kiss.

"I told you this would be fun," he said excitedly, a smirk on his face.

Fred walked you both towards the shore, your legs wrapped around him while he carried you.

Despite him still walking, Fred planted kisses down your neck and onto your collarbone. His hands gripped your waist tighter as he did so.

Now that he was standing on the sand, Fred lowered you to the ground gently. Once you stood on your own feet, Fred met his lips with yours again. 

Without saying anything, Fred took both of your hands in one of his, grabbed the pile of clothes you both had taken off in the other, and quickly guided you both out of the small beach.

Soon enough, the both of you were back in the forest, standing in front of the car. 

"Fred we're still, soaking wet," you said, crossing your arms as a slight but warm breeze drifted through the air.

"The trunk of this car is magic y'know," Fred said, as he popped the trunk door open and grabbed two perfectly folded towels that were sitting inside. While grabbing the towels, he placed both of your clothes inside the trunk.

"It anticipates what its last driver needs," he continued as he gently tossed you one of the towels.

"That's definitely for the best," as you spoke, you unfolded the towel, "You and I both have performed a bit of underage magic recently," as you said this, you thought back to how you had used Lumos and how Fred had healed your frostbite.

"Don't worry about that too much," Fred said roughly rubbing the other towel on his head to dry his hair, "the ministry is pretty used to a bit of underage magic here and there at the Burrow. Dad always manages to get us out of it," 

You watched Fred as he wrapped his towel around his waist, covering up his boxers that had been practically sticking to his skin due to being in the water.

The sunshine and the warmth of the environment brought out Fred's freckles that roamed freely on his body from head to toe. His hair looked brighter and his skin looked healthily flushed. The towel now looked small wrapped around his waist, ending fairly high at his thighs. He looked good.

"Ma'am, my eyes," Fred said sarcastically and suddenly, "are up here thank you," he said, pointing at his eyes and looking like he was holding back laughter.

"You really love to embarrass me don't you!" you said, crossing your arms and holding back a smile.

"I absolutely do," he shot back happily and loudly, walking from the car over to you, "in the past few days we both have had quite a few embarrassing moments haven't we!"

Now standing in front of one another, you couldn't help but laugh. You were both thinking about the incident on the train.

Fred joined you in laughing, but he quickly shut you up with a kiss, gently snaking his hand around the back of your neck.

"Car's don't have to be used just for driving," Fred mumbled into your ear before making his way back to your lips.

"Oh really?" you teased, "Then show me what you have in mind,"

Fred pulled back from the kiss before quickly bringing you over to the car and throwing one of the back doors open, right before gesturing for you to get inside.

"Climb in," he said, a smirk on his face

You obliged, sliding into the car's back row seats and making yourself comfortable.

You were surprised at how spacious the back of the car was. You sat up on the seat cross-legged, watching the car's open door, waiting for Fred to come in.

"I don't see why you still need that towel?" Fred said, now joining you in the car, gesturing to the towel you had wrapped around your torso.

"What's up with you being so bold all of a sudden," you whispered, a smirk on your lips. The question had been in the back of your mind since the previous night.

"Maybe because I know what I want," he said, leaning forward and kissing you.

Your hands found themselves trailing up Fred's shirtless body and resting on his shoulders. 

You felt your body naturally start to lean back onto the car's seats, most of your lower back already was. As you moved, your towel slipped off, falling onto the floor of the car.

Fred's towel did the same.

Fred pulled his face away from the kiss, stray strands of his damp hair hanging in front of his eyes.

He moved his chin up to your forehead, lightly pressing his chin to it, pushing your head and the rest of your body down to lay on the car's seats.

Fred moved his head towards your neck, pressing his lips onto your collarbone, continuing to travel his mouth upwards until his lips locked with yours once more.

"About the time I make you feel good huh?" he whispered as he dipped his head to your right ear.

"So much for waiting," you breathed back.

"When you look as good as you do it's pretty hard to wait," he said, placing one of his arms on the door behind your head for balance.

Fred's other hand began to slip fingers under the left strap of your bra.

But as soon he started, he abruptly stopped.

You looked at him confused for a moment, but then realized why he had stopped.

A quick shivering breeze suddenly blew through the car, and it made the hair on your arms stick up and goosebumps rise under your skin.

Through the car window, you caught a glimpse of a large scaly, black wing quickly flying past through the air above the car. 

A dragon.

You and Fred both looked at one another wide-eyed for a few seconds before he spoke.

"I guess Charlie and Bill are home."
