Fool Me Once (Book One) - Fred Weasley

Before

'Bye Captain. I'll miss you?' I said as I gave George yet another hug goodbye in the entrance hall.

'Why don't you and Fred just come with is. Really?' he asked again.

'Captain, I've already explained this. We decided to stay because Freddie is still in the early stages of his recovery, so I think it would be best if he stays here. And I'm not going to leave him'

Lee came up from behind me and chucked. 'No, your lying Liyah. You and Freddie just want to be able to shag without me and Georgie there all the time' I laughed and so did George.

'Yeah that's definitely it. Mum would never leave them alone for two seconds if they both came back to the house.' I shook my head before turning back to the two boys, looking at them seriously.

'Oh no. She's got the scary face on' Lee said.

'Boys, stop acting childish for two seconds will you. Remember your not to say anything to Molly-'

'About the wedding. Yes yes we know. Can we leave now? The carriages are already starting to leave.'

'Wait what about Fred?' I asked, suddenly realising that I haven't seen him since last night. 'Still in bed. Said goodbye to us this morning' George told me.

I hugged the two boys goodbye one last time before letting them leave and get into a carriage. I decided to go and have breakfast alone seeing as Fred had decided to have a sleep in without me.

When I went in I spotted Draco and Astoria sitting at the Slytherin table so I decided to make my way over to them. 'Why are you too still here?'

'Toris parents are in France for the holidays. And dad said I can't bring any guests to stay in the Manor, so here we are.'

'Oh' I said. A little shocked at this. I would have thought the Lucius would like Astoria seeing as her family is also one of the most affluential families in Britain, very similar to the Mafloys and the Notts.

'Im sorry about that' I told them seriously. 'No need to apologize darling. What has you staying back here anyway. Thought you would be halfway to the Burrow by now.'

I shook my head at Draco and he looked at me confused. 'Fred. It's better if we stay here. Close to Madame Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall.'

The two of them nodded their heads at me as we started a small conversation and ate breakfast. Not long after I decided that I would go wake Fred. He had been asleep all morning and I was starting to miss him a bit. I bid Draco and Astoria goodbye, promising to meet them for dinner later.

--------------------

'Remind me again why I'm going?' Fred asked as we walked along the streets in Hogsmead on out way to meet Narcissa for coffee the following morning.

'Because Narcissa wants to properly get to know you. And because I love you and I want you there'

Fred huffed when I said this. 'You know I cant say no to anything when you say you love me. And I know you done it on purpose and its neither funny nor fair.'

I laughed as I look my hand in his and we walked into Madame Puddifoots. 

And there at the table, sat two people, Narcissa and my father.

'What is he doing here?' Fred asked me, a note of panic present in his voice. 'Im not sure Bear I really am'nt' I sat down at the table and greeted Narcissa and my father, Fred did so after me, although his was slighty meek.

'So I finally get to meet the boy who thinks hes good enough for my daughter' my dad said as a greeting.

'Dad, stop. Dont argue please. I assume your here to talk, I take it thats why Narcissa brought you?'
