"YOU'LL VISIT HOGSMEADE, won't you?" I asked Fred as I prepared to return to Hogwarts for work after the new year. "I don't think I'll be able to go several months without seeing you."

Fred, who was dressing into his work robes, laughed a little.

"Course I will." He told me. "Especially since George and I are thinking of checking out Zonko's to try and have a Hogsmeade branch, considering we might've put them out of business."

"That would be excellent. Then you could work just down the road from me." I said as I finished packing what I needed. "Then we could see each other more."

"Are you thinking of working at Hogwarts for a long time?" Fred asked, sounding casual but I could tell it was something he had been thinking about.

"No. Maybe just this school year." I said, looking him in the eyes. "I honestly liked St Mungo's more. There was more to do, more people to help. And plus I got to come home to you every night."

With a smile I leaned in to kiss him, and he smiled into it as our lips connected.

His hands moved around my waist to hold me close and my arms wrapped around his neck.

"Okay, well, I've got to go." I said, checking my watch. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Fred said. "Say 'hi' to Mum for me, yeah?"

"Yep. Say 'bye' to George for me." I said and then apparated into the Burrow.

The Ministry had arranged a one-off Floo Network connection to Hogwarts so students could all get back to the school safely, so that was the way I was going, too.

"Y/N, why're you here?" Ron asked me.

"No need to sound so pleased, Ron." I said sarcastically, noting the rude tone of his voice.

"Sorry." He muttered.

As Molly started saying her goodbyes to Ron, Ginny and Harry, she practically collapsed into tears, sobbing into Ginny's shoulder.

"Don't cry, Mum." Ginny attempted to comfort her, patting her on the back. "It's okay..."

"Yeah, don't worry about us." Ron said, letting his mother kiss him on the cheek. "Or about Percy. He's such a prat, it's not really a loss, is it?"

Molly seemed to cry even harder as she pulled Harry into what looked like a bone-crushing hug.

"Promise me you'll look after yourself... Stay out of trouble..." She said to him.

"I always do, Mrs. Weasley." Harry said. "I like a quiet life, you know me."

She chuckled, tears still prominent in her eyes, and stood back.
