My Promise For You | Fred Weasley

Chapter 1:

A/N: There will be a slight mention of problem with self image. I am sorry if you recognize yourself in these thoughts but know that you are all perfect as you are.<3

PRESENT (6th year)

It's the summer before we start our 6th year at Hogwarts and so far it has been empty of events for me. I really miss my friends but especially Fred. I wish I could spend the holidays with one of them but my parents had to go to America for their job. I was able to keep in touch with Kathleen and Cedric, we send each other letters quite often. But I couldn't do the same with Fred and George. It's almost impossible to rely on Errol to make such a long ride.

My father is an auror and my mom is an international witch liaison officer. She can speak several foreign languages and have to maintain cooperation between different magical communities.

We have to stay for 3 weeks and I can't do much, I have to stay with my aunt Laeticia (the sister of my mom) while they work almost everyday.

I'm reading in the living room when I hear the door open. I'm too preoccupied with my book to hear my mom talking to me.

"Mayline, do you hear me?" she asks me.

"Sorry mom" I put down my book and concentrate on what she has to say.

"I was telling you that Mr. Weasley asked me if you can accompany them at the Quidditch World Cup"

I barely give her time to finish her sentence when I jump off the couch. This is an opportunity to see them again and escape my boring daily life for almost 2 weeks now.

"And what did you answer him?!"

"Calm down sweetie. I knew that you would want to go, so I said yes. Your father and I have talked and decided that you can stay at the burrow for the rest of the holidays. We know that you're bored here."

I hug my mom tightly and say "Thank you so much! When am I leaving?".

"Tomorrow morning, you can go prepare your bags". My mom says chuckling after seeing my reaction.

"I will do that, thanks again!". I go to the room that I occupied and begin to prepare my bags. I can't wait to see everyone, I miss them so much. When I'm done I lay down and end up falling asleep thinking about the day ahead and my favorite redhead.

=====================

The morning after

The sun's rays penetrate the curtains and the heat begins to accumulate inside the room. It takes me a few moments to wake up. I end up going to the bathroom and prepare myself. When I'm done, I go down to the kitchen and have my breakfast. My aunt arrives and joins me at the table.

"Hello Mayline, how are you this morning? Your mother told me that you're going to join the Weasleys for the rest of the summer. I'm sorry if your holidays didn't go well and if you were bored but I will miss you".

"Yes, I'm really excited! I will miss you too auntie and don't worry I'm glad to have seen you and spent time with you".

My mom arrives in the kitchen and kisses me on the forehead.

"Hello sweetie I hope you're ready, the portkey will go in 10 minutes."

"Hi mom, yes I'm ready!"

"I'm sorry your dad can't see you before you leave, he's stuck at work. But he told me to tell you that he loves you so much. We will see you at the station before you leave for the start of the school year, don't worry. Now go in the backyard, you'll see a cushion on the floor it's the portkey."
