In the night ♡ ( Fred and George Weasley )

The Girlfriend

The sound of the train horn pierced through my ears.

"Merlin why is that thing so damn loud" I hear Fred grumble as he lifts his head from my lap. His disheveled hair poking out in different ways. I giggle and run my hand over it trying to tame it down.

"You know I love it when you tug on my hair" He winks, his remark making me blush.

"Hem, hem" The sound of someone clearing their throat across from us startles me. Making me slowly turn my head to notice Harry awkwardly standing by the compartment entrance.
"H-Harry" I stammer. "How long had he been standing there? " I look at Fred who had smug look on his face.

"I was just coming to say goodbye since I won't be going to the Burrow till next week" Harry answers.

"You're going to the Dursley's?" I ask standing up, my legs shaking under me making me stumble. Fred reaches to steady me, a look of  pride on his face.

"Eve, you- you okay?" Harry asks looking me up and down. "Yeah totally fine, my legs just fell asleep along with me" I half lie. I did sleep, but my legs ached because of none other than Fred Weasley.

"Okay.." Harry says hesitantly, looking at me then at Fred. "But no, I'll be staying with Sirius. He said Lupin and Tonks are visiting and have great news to share with us so I just though I'd spend Christmas there than come spend New Years with you guys." 

"You sure should, heard the party's going to be wild mate" Fred says reaching over to pat Harry on his shoulder. Harry returns his gesture.

"Party, huh?" I ask. "Yeah you didn't know? Bill and Charlie are coming home for New Years so Mum thought it'd be a good idea to go big or they'd wanna go home" Fred laughs. He really seemed to emphasize the word big as he stared me down. Making me grow red.

"Can't wait to meet them" Harry blurts out, clearly catching on.

"Well good, you'll still get to see Ginny for a week" I say winking at Harry making him scratch the back of his head.

"R-right, and Ron" he says, making me the nervousness in his voice.

"Okay well I gotta go. Bye guys" He says, hastily turning to walk down the train.

"He's an awkward one" Fred says, making me swat him on the arm.

"Fred! We don't say that about people. Plus he's been through a lot" I say in a low voice.

"I'm only joking" He replies.

I roll my eyes at him and reach up to try and reach my suitcase. Fred towers over me and easily brings both his and mine down. Carrying one on each of his hands. "Nothing more up there, wonder were George and Lorelei are" He says motioning for me to walk out the compartment.

We walk down the corridor, Ginny coming into view as she steps out of a compartment. "Eve!" She exclaims bringing me into a tight hug. "You and Lo are still coming with us right?" She asks me.

I nod while smiling. Her smile widens and she grabs a hold of my hand, pulling me out the train door.

The cold London breeze instantly hit my face, making me shiver. I caught sight of Mr.Weasley. Ron and Hermione already standing besides him.

"Daddy!" Ginny yells as she runs up to hug him. "Hello my darling, how I've missed you" he says pulling his only daughter into a tight hug. "Fred, Everly" He says reaching to hug us both. "Where's George and Lorelei?" Ron asks looking around the station.

"We haven't seen them yet, they left the compartment while Fred and I were asleep and we just thought they'd already be with you guys" I answer.

"I'll go look for them" Fred says placing down both of our suitcases. "No need" Ron laughs. I turn around seeing both George and Lo walking up to us. George's shirt was buttoned up completely wrong and his tie was untied. Lo looked completely fine, her cheeks were just flushed. Fred turns to look at me, we exchange knowing looks and begin snickering.

"Hey Dad" George says before turning to look at Lorelei. "This is my girlfriend Lorelei" My hands shoot to my mouth.

Mr.Weasley's eyes widen and a big smile grows on his face. "Ah, so that finally happened. I'm so happy for you both." He says hugging them both.

Fred and I exchange looks once again. I was so happy for my sister and George. However, couldn't help but feel a bit of jealousy. Fred and I weren't dating, so there'd be no reason for him to introduce me to his family as his girlfriend. But still something was obviously going on between us, I just didn't know what. We said we liked each other but nothing more. Did he ever want to take things further with me? Was he ever going to ask me out?

"Let's hurry and get to the car, it's supposed to rain today. We need to catch clear skies for the Anglia" Mr.Weasley says as he gestures in the direction of the parked car.

"Dad, how are we all gonna fit in there?" Ginny asks. "Well I was told Harry isn't coming till next week so that makes a bit more room, but still some of you will have to squeeze" He replies.

"I call shotgun!" Ron yells.

"That leaves us two in the back" Fred whispers in my ear. "And George, and Lo, and Ginny and Hermione" I reply.

"Like that'll stop me" He says walking further ahead.

Leaving me wondering what Fred Weasley had in mind.
