TEARS ARE STREAMING DOWN MY face as I raced to my bedroom. That's it. I will never try to go out again.

Fuck that little redhead, she talks too much!

My little secret is passed to everyone, and I know that Bill knows, and I think he will tease me when I show up.

I stared at myself gloomily in the mirror. The once-legal Fleur has broken down a second time. I clenched my fists and punched the mirror.

It shattered, and little shards of glass are sticking to my fingers. Blood is slowly pouring out. I don't want Bill or the others to know. I want to tell Bill myself.

"Honey!" My mom cried from downstairs. "What was that crash! And looks like someone here wants to see you."

Silence downstairs, someone running urgently...

The door opened and his jaw dropped.

Its Bill Weasley

🔥🔥🔥

"Fleur," he said, his voice cracking as he approached me. "What did- How did?"

He took a deep breath and said softly. "Mum's sorted it out. She thought that if you want to come tomorrow, you can. And what is this broken mirror? What is this bleeding? I told you not to mind Ginny, and it is okay with me if you like me. What's the problem with that?"

He hugged me for the first time, ignoring the blood staining his jacket. I shivered. I felt myself hugging him too.

I heard a sniff. He is crying, I thought.

Bill wiped away his tears and said. "Promise me that you won't do that again"

"I promise" I muttered.

He hugged me again before pointing his wand to the mirror. "Reparo," he said.

He glanced at me. "I am asking you something. What is the problem?".

"I want to tell you myself" I muttered.

Bill sighed again. "It's okay Fleur. You made everyone think you're sensitive. I am honestly surprised when Ginny told us before you left. I didn't expect that"

He hugged me one last time before going away.

🔥🔥🔥

After wrapping my hand in a bandage, I went downstairs and I saw Sofia cooking stew. My mom is knitting again.

"Sweetie," she said. "I heard that you admired this red-headed male in the Burrow, am I correct?"

I nodded, hiding my injured hand behind me.

"That's amazing!" she squealed and hugged me. "He looks like that he is the right guy for you. He doesn't have an 'attitude' towards you"

"Mother!" I complained. "It's just the start! I don't have feelings for him yet!"

She laughed, returning to her knitting.

I remembered what Bill told me earlier, She thought that if you want to come tomorrow, you can.

"Mother," I said suddenly. "Can I go to the Burrow again tomorrow?"

She smiled at me. "Of course! Looks like you are excited to see him again"

I went red, going upstairs, and found the Weasleys family owl, Errol, on my bed. Honestly? Who would invite me somewhere at this hour?

I pulled the letter out of the envelope. It is from Ginny.

Fleur...

I am so sorry for acting like a prat earlier. It is my fault that I made you leave. It is just that I can't help myself. Bill is right. I talk too much! Please come again tomorrow. I will fix this. Can we be friends again? Please?

Ginny Weasley

I looked concerned for the girl, despite her attitude. I will try again, and not create a drama again.

/Timeskip/

I grabbed my things and I took a deep breath. I want to try to ignore Bill, and not go bananas. It is just because, I like him! Without a valid reason! I still don't have feelings for him yet.

My injured hand has healed already. I remained quiet, staring straight ahead, clearing my mind.

Just then, a knock came on the door.

I opened. It's Hermione Granger.

"Hi," she said. "Just wondering if I can side-Apparate with you? I just came home last night and I thought that Apparating along with you will be fun"

I nodded. "Anyways, where did you go yesterday?"

Hermione shrugged. "I just went to National Bookstore. The rest went to a park. Charlie is with me, of course. He is just looking for a book about dragons"

I smiled. "That sounds fun"

"Yeah, and since you woke up early like me, let's go there again! Ginny promised me that she will shut her mouth when it comes to love lives, so, when I hear her babbling some shit to us, I will shut her in a broom cupboard for fifteen seconds"

I laughed. "That is a silly idea"

I only know that, when you are in Hogwarts or Beauxbatons, two being in a broom cupboard means that you're secretly flirting or kissing in there,

"Come on" Hermione pleaded. "I am excited!"

I have never seen her so excited like this, so I nodded and we both Disapparated.
