Life bound

Chapter 7

"Well I better get started on supper." Molly set her stuff down and stood up.

"Can I help?"

"You don't have to-"

"It's the least I could do." Bella walked with Molly to the kitchen. She made sure to drop her jacket on Fred's head on the way out of the living room.Molly handed her a spare apron and after tying her own on. She began showing her how to make her shepherd's pie.

Fred watched as Bella interacted with his family with a soft smile. He couldn't help but fall for her even further. They all already loved her. His mom has practically adopted her the same way she has Harry and Hermione.

Mr. Weasley arrived just as supper was being set on a table in the garden outside.

"Afternoon Weasleys." he called as he walked through the gate.

"Afternoon Dad!" Bella was setting some of the food on the table as the family greeted each other.

Mr. Weasley kissed his wife on the cheek as he sat down. Bella watched the couple with a smile. Fred snuck up behind her.

"Awe don't worry Lovebug you get a kiss too." He placed a sloppy kiss on her cheek before sitting down in his seat.

Bella sat down in her seat next to him, wiping her cheek. "Gross Fred."

"Ah, you must be Belladonna?"

"Just Bella please." Everyone was dishing food onto their plates. Fred put some on her plate while she talked with his dad.

"You're a muggle, if I'm correct?" she nodded she knew all about his fascination with muggle items.

"If you don't mind me asking, what is the reason for a fellytone?" he asked, probably meaning telephone.

The two went back and forth asking questions about each other's worlds. Bella promised to show him her cell phone and speaker after dinner. Bella helped Mrs. Weasley cleanup. Before going back outside. Everyone was sitting on the grass in a circle. It was dark and you could easily see the stars twinkling in the sky.

Bella placed her phone and the speaker in the middle of the circle.

"The best part about music is it speaks to you in a way nothing else can. It's kinda like painting. The art portrays a hidden meaning or feeling." Bella explained to the group. "I like to listen to certain songs depending on what I'm doing. That way I can connect with the song."

Mr. Weasley was amazed at how the young women spoke about music. Wizarding music had some meaning but it didn't have multiple songs for different things. She clicked play on her phone and laid down between the twins.

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

I'm gonna give you my heart

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

'Cause you light up the path

Bella looked up at the sky with the music as background music. She placed her hands on each side of her. She slowed her breathing like when she meditated on the park bench.

Fred recognized her movements. She did that when she stargazed sometimes. She would connect herself to something larger than just the earth. She would connect to the universe. She had an understanding of almost every concept put in front of her. Because she took the time to connect with it and take in the bigger picture.

I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do, ooh

'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
