~Three months later ~

456, Fred wrote 456 letters to me before he died pouring his heart out in every single one, he left photos with some and those were now in a separate box.

457, I have written 457 letters to a man who will never read them... But I don't care. Leaving my room in the burrow I made my way downstairs and found Blue, Teddy, George Jr and Ron all sitting on the ground playing.

Hermione walked up to me and smiled at Ron and all the kids, "He's gonna make a good father," I told her, she sighed happily and looked down to her little baby bump. "I sure hope so." She replied. I chuckled.

"Hello everyone!" Mr. Weasley said cheerfully as he walked into the house. "Hi dad!" We all called back making him smile largely, its the happiest time of this mans day, coming home to his family.

As I stood watching everyone goof off and mess around I could only think of one person, one red head with his hair sticking up in all directions, with chocolate brown eyes and freckles littering his face, my one and only; Fred Weasley. He made everyone so happy, even happier then they are now.

We'd be sitting on the couch, with me on his lap resting my head against his chest, and he'd be whispering in my ear how we'd move into the top of the joke shop with Blue and Georgie and come back to the burrow every holiday to celebrate. How I would never have to go home to my awful parents and face them again, how I had a family now.

"Almost finished packing?" Harry asked me, his green eyes boring into my blue ones, I gave him a small smile and nodded. "Yeah almost, then I get to force you, Ron and George to move everything," I joked, he playfully rolled his eyes, "Oh joy, just what I've always looked forward too." He said, I laughed, "You know it squirt."

George walked up to me and leant on the counter I was sitting on, he watched over his niece and nephew like a hawk and said to me without taking his eyes off the two; "So you ready to move into the shop? Its just about ready." He replied, I nodded, "All the kids stuff is just about packed." I told him, he nodded.

"I know Freddie won't be there... but we'll make it work." He replied, I nodded, "I sure hope so."

I sat unpacking as George Jr. and Blue crawled and played in the room. It was gonna be Blues room once I was finished, Fred had already had the room painted pink when he found out that we were gonna have a girl, I had Harry and Ron put together her bed and now I was filling her dressers with her clothes, putting books on shelves, putting toys in the white toy box and making her bed. I put curtains up over the window so no one could see in.

Next was little George's room, but I wasn't aloud to help cause the boys wanted to make it how they wanted it. I didn't push it any further then that. So I walked to my room and put everything away, I put up my Gryffindor banner, my flags and then all my quidditch stuff, I had books filing a bookshelf, and some makeup, perfumes and all that stuff on a white vanity. My bed was built and I had Fred's old dark blue sheets on it with my dark purple comforter and pillows. My closest was full of clothes some of Fred's here and there. Then lastly I placed all the letter and pictures under my bed for safe keeping.

I walked into the kitchen grabbed George and Blue on the way, I placed them in their highchairs and gave them each some toys as I started to make something for dinner. I was glad that both my babies were very quiet, then never made unneeded noise and always had the best behavior.

As I rolled out the dough for pizza and spread pizza sauce across it I realized that there was no cheese. "Shit!" I cursed making Blue and George both giggle. I sighed a small smile tugging at my lips.

"Boys!" I called, all three of them ran out and gave me smiles, "Can you watch George while Blue and I go out?" I asked, the both nodded, I smiled and thanked them before taking Blue out of high chair and taking her to her room. I grabbed her jacket and boots and put them on her while I muttered a spell under my breath having my jacket and shoes appear in the door. Blue squealed and laughed making me smile. Slipping on my stuff I grabbed my wand and keys as we headed out of the house.

As Blue and I walked through the streets of Diagonally the cool September breeze making me sigh, kids ran around laughing and playing as they got ready to get their stuff for Hogwarts.

"Amelia Island is that ye?" I heard a deep voice call, I turned around picking Blue up while my eyes came across Hagrid.

"Hagrid!" I called out happily, he walked up to me and smiled, "And how are you?" He asked happily, Hagrid was always so happy. "I'm fine thank you, how about you?" I asked with a smile, "I'm doing alright, now who might this be?" He asked looking to Blue. "Oh this is my daughter, Blue." I told him, "Oh she's beautiful, and a Weasley no doubt." He said looking at her hair, I laughed and nodded.

"Well it was great to see you, but we best be off." I said, Hagrid nodded. "Of course. I expect you over for tea soon," he said I gave him a smile, "Definitely." I replied walking away.

As Blue and I made our way to the small market I bumped into someone else. "Sorry." I apologized quickly. "No need to be sorry," I looked up to see Draco. "Hi Draco." I said giving him a small smile. "Hello Amelia," he said returning the gesture. "Oh and hello to you too Blue." He said giving her a smile as well, she giggled showing off the few teeth she had.

"I didn't expect to see you here for a long time." Draco said, I shrugged, "We decided to move above the shop, make things easier." I told him he nodded. "We're making pizza, you should come over." I said, he nodded. "Great just let me grab what I need." I said, he nodded.

"Of course."
