I forgot about Fred and all the trouble for the time I spent with Osbert at the pub. The food there was amazing and even though I missed the butterbeer because Muggles don't know about it I tried a popular soft drink called coke and it was weird at first but I quite enjoyed it.

But as I walked back home with Osbert I realised that I would have to confront Fred tomorrow or even today and I didn't know how to do it

"Take care alright?" Osbert before I opened the front door of the store

I tried to be as quiet as possible in case anyone was asleep already. I opened the door to the shop as quietly as possible just to see that someone was still sitting on the couch.

The candles lit up Fred's face and I saw that he seemed to be asleep.

I tried to close the door just as quietly as I opened it but there was some noise and Fred shot up and grabbed his wand from the little coffee table.

"Oh it's you" he sighed "Luckily you're alright"

"Have you been sitting here all night?"

"Yeah, I mean I had to be sure that you would get home safe especially after you just left like that! I didn't intend to fall asleep though but you know it got quite late" he explained and chuckled

"You stayed up because you were worried and wanted to make sure that I would get home safe?" I asked as I repeated what he just told me to be sure.

"Well yeah mostly!But I also wanted to apologize because I might have overreacted and I don't know why I just didn't want to believe you" he confessed "Look I am sorry but you shouldn't have left like that it is still dangerous to go out and I know that it is kinda my fault because I shouldn't have let you go like that"

"I know but it just quite annoying with you being all jealous" I grinned

"I- I was not jealous!"

"You were" I started laughing

"Maybe I was" he said as he joined me laughing about his behaviour

"And now that you finally realised that it was mostly jealousy I wanted to say that I know that shouldn't have stormed out like that" I told him "Why are you looking like that?" I asked after I saw that Fred made a weird puppy-like face.

"Can I have a hug?"

"Honestly Fred I never thought that this would ever happen" I chuckled "I never even thought you would be a person to care that much"

"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked me confused

"You just never seemed like that type of guy" I chuckled, trying to hold back my laugh because I found his reaction quite amusing.

"Now I am offended" Fred held his hand to his chest as if he was just shot into the heart

"Will I still get a hug though?" he asked a second later and opened his arms

"You are killing me Weasley" I said as took a step over to him and swung my arms around his neck to give him his hug

"What do you think about the idea that we will go to that special Muggle pub next Saturday after closing and you will show it to me?" he suggested. "We don't have a lot of customers directly in the store since everyone went back to school you know"

"Of course I would love to" I smiled before our lips collided together as they haven't in a very long time but it felt as though it has never been different. It was just us two in those seconds and every trouble around us seemed to be forgotten.
