CHAPTER 87-The Big Question and Time To Go

"Y--your doing this today"

"I mean it is Christmas Eve, and well I even asked Sirius--"

"Wait. Sirius knows about--"

"No, no, no, he would've been here if I did"

"Fred, you want to be alone with her when--"

"Just for the first part and--and then I think you'll know when you can come back"

"Okay"

It was Christmas Eve and Fred decided to come over since he couldn't be able to join on Christmas day. He wanted to talk to Liam alone which raised suspicion from (Y/N) and even Ron. They were currently in the living room as it was the only place that could talk in private, without giving anything away.

"But, you're really asking her...Today!" Liam smiled brightly as Fred nodded, with the same smile.

(Y/N) made her way to the living as she saw Fred showing Liam something as they were whispering with one another.

"Are you two coming to eat, or do you still need time to gossip with one another?"

They both jumped at the sound of her voice as Fred almost dropped what he was holding before quickly hiding it. He wrapped an arm around Liam's shoulder as they both smiled at her, she narrowed her eyes at them, only increasing their nerves.

"What were you two doing?" She asked, Fred and Liam shared a look before speaking.

"Playing, rock, paper, scissors"

"Talking about Ron's stupidity"

Fred and Liam said at the same time, looking back at one another. (Y/N) raised her eyebrow as she just nodded, "Okay, well--let's go eat, the food is getting cold", making her way back to the dining room.

"Rock, paper, scissors?" Fred questioned as they started walking, "Really?"

"It was the first thing that came to mind" Liam shrugged, "At least, I didn't say we were talking about Ron's stupidity. I mean, come on"

"Just like you, it was the first thing that came to mind" Fred replied, Liam rolling his eyes with a small smile.

Once everyone was sat around the table, they began to eat and enjoy their time together. It felt off knowing that not everyone was around to celebrate but they managed. At the middle of dinner, (Y/N) felt her head tik to the side but brushed it off, it didn't go unnoticed to any of them. Liam insisted he'll go out and check around the perimeter.

"It was probably nothing" (Y/N) suggested.

"Nothing? (Y/N)---"

"It's happened before remember" (Y/N) cut Liam off, "In our seventh year, and You-Know-Who, wasn't around Hogwarts, was he?"

"We'll drop it" Liam replied with a small sigh, "But before we head to bed, i'll check outside one more time"

"Fine,"

Fred gave Liam a look as Liam immediately stood up from his seat, causing (Y/N) and Ron to look at him curiously. "I--I just remembered, I have wine in the fridge"

"And...you had to--get off your seat that fast, because?" Ron trailed off, but winced in pain when someone kicked him under the table, "Git"

"Language, Ronald" Fred said, (Y/N) furrowed her brows in confusion at the scene that played in front of her.

Liam excused himself before making his way to the kitchen and coming back with four glass goblets and a wine bottle as he set it down in the middle of the table. Fred reached for it opening it and serving it to each of them and offering a toast.
