As the tears fall from your eyes down your cheeks, you feel the warmth and comfort of Fred. Letting him wrap his arms around you. Helping you ground yourself, being exactly what you need in that moment.

*twenty minutes earlier*

You had walked into his dorm, trying to hold it together. The minute you saw your Freddie you broke down. Quick to comfort you, Fred ran over to where you stood. Hugging you in a way that made your arms wrap around his neck, pulling your bodies flush against each other.

Fred knew you were going to go read and respond to the letter you got from your mother.He expected you to be in a quieter mood coming back from that like the usual, but not crying to the point of shaking.

Your relationship with your parents has been rough ever since you got sorted into Gryffindor and got worse when you started dating Fred in third year. Now year five and you are used to letters telling you that you were a disappointment and will amount to nothing.

This one was different. You can handle them ridiculing and tearing you apart. But you can't handle them doing it with Fred. The whole letter was about how poor Fred was and how he didn't have true aspirations in life. How he would ruin the family name. Horrible things. The worst things, things you will never repeat.

Fred held you but after a few moments you were still shaking, he realized it was going to take more than a hug.

"Love, let's go take a bath. Can you jump, darling" he whispered sweetly and even-tone in his voice. You heard and agreed jumping so your legs wrap around his waist. He slowly moved to the bathroom, gently setting you down on the counter.

You still had your arms around his neck, still crying into his neck. His legs now stand in between your spread apart ones as you sat on the counter.

" Sweetheart, I promise to hold you, I promise. But I need to start running the water and getting the bath ready."

You gently remove your arms from him and let him pull away. He frowns at how distraught you look, wanting to do everything in his power to get rid of whatever did that to you.

He moved quickly but calmly, turning on the water to the right temperature. Putting your favorite bath oils in to make it smell like lavender. turning on the fairy lights he has in the bathroom because you talked about it one time how cute you think they were. He turned off the light so the room was only lit by the gentle lights.

At this point you were still crying but you had your shaking under better control. Fred moved so he was close to you again.

"Do you want me to help you take your clothes off?"

You mumble something incoherent but your nodding made it clear that you want him to help.

He began to remove your shirt, then helping you off the counter so he could help you take off your skirt. He began to take off his own clothes, letting you take your own undergarments.

Seeing him being so careful and gentle with you, broke you deeper after all the horrible things you parents said. The tears began to flow again, hard.

"Hey hey hey shhh shhh its ok im here" pulling you close to him. Gently rubbing his hands up and down your back, soothing you.

He moved you slowly so you were in the warm water letting it wash over your body. Fred climbed in behind you, letting you rest your body against his. Completely melting into him.
