Chapter 5: All the nightmares

Tw⚠️ swearing

A/N: I forgot to add this in but Harper's real name is Harriet but she hates the name 😄

"No! Harper! Don't let them take me! Please Remus! Look after them! Please it wasn't me! You know that!" A baby started crying, "please! Lily needs her bottle! It's not me! You must know that! Help, Remus! Please!" I shot up, panting and covered in sweat.

"Hey, woah, you good?" Fred asked, groggily, sitting up beside me. "Hey, just breath, I've got you, sh it's alright," he hugged me and lay us back down.
"I had a nightmare about my dad," I whispered into his chest.
"It's ok," he soothed, brushing hair off my face.
"I think it was a memory," I cried.
"A memory?" He repeated.
"Y-yes, my dad was being t-taken away," I cried into his top, long past caring about my dignity.
"Go back to sleep, I've got you," he whispered and I fell asleep within 5 minutes.

"Aw would you look at that, so sweet," I woke up to the sounds of george.
"Get away," I grumbled and opened my eyes. He was an inch close to my face. "You're so annoying," I muttered and saw lily and Ginny, giggling beside him, "leave us alone!" I whisper- shouted realising fred was still asleep.
"Alright, we're going!" George laughed and tossed me my phone. He took a picture of us. Oh, great.

I flopped back down on the bed and rolled over to face fred. His hand was wrapped around my waist and his mouth was slightly open. I brushed some strands of hair out of his face and tapped his nose to wake him up.
"Wha- oh hey," fred said and smiled warmly at me. I suddenly realised our faces were super close and I think fred did as well. I wasn't aware of what I was doing until we were about to kiss and-

"Get up!!" Percy bellowed and saw us tangled in each other's arms, centimetres away from each other's faces, "uh you should not be doing that I don't think, no." He said, blushing very deep red and exiting the room.

"Um," I started.
"Cockblocker," fred muttered and we burst out laughing.
"I'm gonna go get dressed," I laughed and got out of the bed. I got changed in the bathroom and went downstairs to get breakfast.

"Hey, Lils," I said to lily, who was brushing her hair, "want me to finish that off for you?" I asked.
"Oh. Yes please," she laughed and I brushed it into a Dutch plait into a ponytail.

Mrs Weasley was talking to us girls land Ginny and Hermione about a love potion she had made in her 6th year.
"I slipped into his drink and it didn't work," she laughed. "But we ended up dating anyway."
"What happened then?" I asked.
"I married him," and we all giggled and awed as Mrs Weasley looked fondly at mr Weasley.

"Fred?" I said as he passed me.
"Yes, love?" He said taking my hand and spinning me into his arms. I grinned at the new nickname, blushed and laughed.
"Did you pack everything?" I asked and he nodded, "are you sure?"
"Yes?" He said, "why?"
"Cos you forgot this," I laughed and handed him a sketch I made of their shop. The man on the front was moving his hat up and down.
