If you hold on

Don't think I could ever love the way you do

I'll try to make it up if you need me to

Something in your smile I've never been so sure

That all I ever wanted was to give you more - Tellow feat. Matt Sierra

"So you're going?"

The red head was bustling around a suitcase that was lying on his bed. For he was so sure he was the only one in the room with his brother, Fred Weasley was startled at the sound of Evana's voice.

"Oh! hum.. Hi, yeah as you can see."

He felt nervous, which was seemingly out of character for one of the famous pranksters that were the Weasley twins. But you have to understand, they had just started dating about a few months ago. Would she feel like he was leaving her?

To his surprise, she looked relatively calm and collected. Maybe not happy, but calm.

His blonde girlfriend was quietly watching him pack his stuff. Fred didn't know how she managed to remain serene when five minutes ago she had no idea her boyfriend was quitting.

Had he been in her shoes, he knew he would have surrendered to wrath. But Evana, she had not.

That's one of the reasons Fred liked the young hufflepuff so much. As well as the fact that she was always able to surprise him; just like she had done a minute ago.

"I'm not mad, you know. It's true that it's too bad you both won't wait and take your N.E.W.T.s but I know you never cared." she smiled and walked toward his bed, picking up a sweater and folding it.

"I know you're talented and passionate Fred, you're driven, I'm not worried I know you'll be okay."

Her smile fell as she brought his, now folded, sweater to her face. Fred started to panic at the sight of his beautiful girlfriend on the verge of tears.

He took a few strides toward her before taking her hands in his.

"I know you'll be fine ... But I'm not sure I will." his heart broke when her voice did.

"Oh no baby please! Look at me, please don't cry! It's alright, it's alright" Fred tried to soothe her, rubbing her arms and whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

"I promise it will be fine. In like four months you'll be done and we'll be together again. We already bought a flat with George, just above the shop."

"But Fred I'll have to study a bit longer if I want to become a professor in care for magical creatures. And I'll have to live in Hogwarts once...-"

"No you won't" Fred interrupted "I'll ask Minnie to connect my chimney to the one you'll get in your future appartement. Baby please, smile!"

The young woman tried to grin, her face painted with blotches of red.

"Oh yeah, there's my girl!"

Evana buried her face in Fred's neck, her arms tightly wound around his torso.

The room was draped in silence, which the mischievous redhead did not particularly like. He slightly turned his head and gently bit his girlfriend's rosy cheek, making her instantly give in a watery laugh.

"Fred... Stop it" Evana whined.

"No baby! I want you to understand how much I love you and how much I already miss you"

"Don't say that Freddie."

Fred Weasley smiled before letting go of the young hufflepuff and getting his suitcase.

"Well... Eva, Baby, Sweetheart; duty's calling"

"Yeah okay... Go wreck havoc Freddie! I love you!"

The young man, suitcase in hand, leaned to kiss his beautiful girlfriend one last time before spending four months without her at his side. Then, he enchanted his luggage to fly toward his new home; and headed to deal with Umbridge.

He was just about to exit his room when he turned back so fast, Evana was surprised he didn't get whiplash.

"Eva! I almost forgot" he said with a huge smile stretching his face

"Yes?"

"Will you marry me? I mean not now but like, at the end of the year, once you're done with Hogwarts?"

"What? Hum .. Yeah? Oh Merlin, Freddie you're such a git! Of course I'll marry you. what?!"
