Fool Me Once (Book One) - Fred Weasley

Hogsmead

The next few weeks went by fairly uneventfully. Fred was in detention with Umbridge every night except Sundays and I could tell that all the cutting into his own hand was messing with him. 

'Morning Freddie' I said as I sat up in bed one Sunday morning in late September. 'Morning princess' he said as he snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me in closer to him. 

I leaned back in the bed and rested my head on Freds chest. It had been a while since we had been this quiet and contented. I really didnt want to leave. I nuzzled my head further into his chest as he ribbed his hand over my stomach. I was really showing now, I was still self conscious of it, but Fred loved it. 

'Are we going to Hogsmead today?' he asked me after a few minutes. I shook my head. 'I dont know Freddie Bear. I kind of want to stay here in bed all day.' I told him honestly. 'What if we just go for a walk? It might be nice to still get out in the sunshine while theres some left' he suggested now looking down at me. 

'Fine' I said. 'But I need to get dressed first' I told him as I got out of bed and walked over to his dresser. 'Can I borrow this shirt?' I asked him. 

He nodded, walking into the bathroom. 'Take whatever you want princess. My clothes are your clothes' I hummed to myself as I got changed into a pair of comfortable leggings, running shoes and Freds slightly oversized t-shirt.

'You look incredible princess' Fred told me as he walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. 'I look kind of terrible. But thank you anyway Bear' I told him as I spun to place a kiss on his exposed chest.

I stayed in his arms for a few minutes and nuzzled my head, yet again into his chest. 'Princess? Are you okay?' he asked me placing a small kiss onto my hair. 'Yeah, its just, we never have time anymore you know? And we arent really going to have time anymore because we are going to have two babies. And its just, I dont want to waste any time with you anymore' I told him honestly placing another kiss on his chest as he finished. 

'Princess?' he called and I looked up at him. He pulled out of the hug and sat down on the edge of the bed, fixing the towel around his waist to make sure it didnt fall off. 'Come here' he said patting his lap but I sat on the bed beside him and he looked at me and shook his head. 'No princess. Come here' he said pulling my arm to get to to stand up and sit on his lap. 'Fred, Im going to squish you' I told him as he chuckled. 'In the nicest way possible my love, shut up' he said as he dragged me down to his lap. 

I sat with my two legs dangling over one of his, sitting sideways. I put my head on his shoulder as he started to talk to me. 'You know that I love you' he started and I hummed. 'Well I dont want to waste time with you anymore either. And I know that its my fault we didnt have alot of time between me being in detention and in rehab for a month-'

'Fred, dont say that. You needed that.' I tried to say but Fred cut me off to continue talking. 'I know that princess. I really do. Its just I do wish I could spend every minute of every day with you. Always you know. But I know I cant because we have school and everything now, but I have an idea that you may like' he told me as I look up at him. 

'Move into my dorm?' he asked me with a grin. 'Freddie, you cant be serious' I said with a small chuckle. He nodded and pulled me in closer to him. 'What would anyone be able to say baby? We are married. Your pregnant, so its not like I can get you pregnant' he said with a laugh. 

'You really are serious about this Bear arent you?' he nodded again. 'Okay love, but what will Georgie say?' I asked seriously. 'Wont he be annoyed that Ill be here all the time?' Fred just laughed and shook his head. 'George wont mind princess. You know he wont. If you dont want to its fine. I was just-' 

'No Bear' I cut him off. 'I want to' I told him and he grinned. 'Really?' he asked. I nodded again and leaned over to pull him into a kiss. 'Just dont get any more detentions yeah?' I joked and he nodded. 'Anything for you princess.' he said.

'Can we go to Zonkos?' Fred asked as we were walking to Hogsmead about an hour later. I nodded my head. 'I want to go to Honeydukes too though. Ive been really craving the sugar quills. Can I get so-'

'Well if it isnt Weasley and the fat girl' I heard from over to my left and I grabbed Freds hand held it tighter. Trying to silently tell him to just ignore Adrian. Fred stopped dead on the spot and I looked up at him. 'Freddie dont' I warned. 

He shook his head and let go of my hand. 'What did you say Pucey?' he asked as he turned around to face him. 'I said well if it isnt Weasley and the fat girl. Why did I say something wrong?' he asked tauntingly.  

I made to grab Freds hand but he shrugged me off. 'Shut up Pucey Im warning you. Or did you not learn your lesson the last time?' Fred asked now taking steps closer to Adrian. 

I knew that if Fred was to start on Adrian I would have no ability to diffuse the situation. And though I was well aware that Fred could take Adrian on his own, he was with four other seventh year Slytherins and that scared me. 

'Freddie please' I begged from where I was standing. 'Please can we just go?' I called. Adrian just laughed at my attamepts to diffuse the situation. 'Yeah Freddie best listen to the wife now' he said and the other boys with him laughed. 'Freddie please' I begged because from where I was standing I could see the back of Freds neck turning a bright red, a sure sign of danger. 

'Please, can we just go. Even go back up to the school' I suggested walking closer to him and grabbing his arm. He looked down at me, and I could tell he was livid. 'Please' I asked him again. And took his hand in mine. I let out a sigh of relief when he took it and squeezed. 'Lets get you to Honeydukes yeah?' he asked me quietly and I nodded. 

'Yeah Weasley, best get the wife some sweets so she can keep her weight on' Adrian called from behind us and I felt Freds grip on my hand faulter. 'Need to keep her fat so she wont run off to find someone better, isnt that right Weasley. Need to keep her close and make her pump out children like your mother' Adrian shouted earning a fair few laughs from the boys around him. 

'Freddie no' I said as he let go of my hand and charged at Adrian. I turned around just as Freds hand connected with Adrians jaw sending him flying backwards. 'Should have shut up when I told you to Pucey' Fred roared as he pushed Adrian down onto the ground and started punching him in the face. 

'No. Stop' I shouted as the four other boys jumped on Fred. I started to run over to them when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist, holding me back and someone run past me. 

'Liyah calm down, its okay we're here' I heard a voice say behind me. 'Lee?' I questioned and then turned back to the boys who were fighting only to see two gingers getting the best of the five Slytherin boys. 'Fuck' I heard Fred shout as he fell onto his back, well was pushed. 

'Fred' I screamed trying to get over to him, but Lee held me in place, trying to turn me around so I couldnt see what was happening. Fred was laying on the ground and Marcus Flint, Adrian Pucey and another Slytherin whose name I didnt know were laying into him. 

'Lee we have to do something' I shouted as I spotted George struggling to fend off the other two Slytherin boys. 'There isnt anything you can do Liyah' he shouted back. 'The babies' he said as he tightened his grip on me. 

'There has to be something' I screamed as I saw Fred struggling to stay on his feet after having got up. 

'What the fuck is going on?' I heard someone yell from beside me. 'Draco please you have to do something' I shouted towards the boy to my left. 'Please' I screamed as he started to run towards the seven boys. 'Fucking stop' I heard him yell and then the Slytherin I didnt know turned to him and started to walk towards him. 

Quick as lightening Draco whipped out his wand. 'Arresto momentum' he shouted pointing his wand at the fighting boys. 'Fred' I screamed as I ran over towards him. Lee finally letting me go so he could go get George.
