Lasting Love (a Fred Weasley Fan Fiction)

Fifth Year

*Fred's POV*

"Now, I know it sounds hard but you'll be taking your OWLS this year and I don't want you to worry," I smiled as I fixed Natalie's bow in her hair.

"Is it a big exam?" Natalie questioned.

I sat beside her on my bed and nodded slightly, "you get a proctor who will ask you to do certain things...just keep calm, you're brilliant after all, just like your mother." I kissed the top of her head. "Ready to go to the Burrow?"

Natalie nodded, "why did mum have to leave last night?"

"Your Aunt Fleur asked to see her," I patted her head before getting up and walking into Oliver's room.

I found him lying on his back on the floor, "what're you up to?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Mary came in here and tackled me to the ground," Oliver groaned.

"What, you can't get up now?"

"She used a sticking charm on me."

I chuckled and removed Oliver from the floor, "what did you do to your sister?"

"Nothing!" Oliver said hastily.

I smirked, "you can just tell your mother when we see her."

"I tossed her books around her room." Oliver confessed.

I closed my eyes, "you know better than to mess with your sister's book, Ollie."

Oliver shrugged, "she said Ireland was a stupid quidditch team and that the Australian team was much better."

I patted his shoulder, "alright....come on, let's go."

When we arrived at the Burrow Riley rushed out of the house and hugged me tightly, "we were only apart for a night, love," I laughed. But I felt the same, I hated being apart from her even for a second.

Riley blushed as she leaned up and kissed me, "have any problems?"

I motioned to the kids, Oliver and Maryann weren't speaking and Natalie was already off and in the house. "Just another day," I grinned.

Riley chuckled slightly as we entered the house, it was packed. Every Weasley was present around the kitchen. The children quickly left to the living room as the adults sat around the table.

"How has everything been with everyone?" Riley asked as we all sat around drinking various things.

There were general nods of fine. "Victorie got top marks," Bill announced proudly.

"So did our Samantha," I grinned.

"One more year and they'll all be in school," Ginny nodded.

I looked at Riley and noticed her stare was off toward the living room, a thoughtful smile on her face, I wrapped my arm around her waist. "Two more and Nellie and Ollie will be graduating," I grinned.

"Can they go a year without pranks?" Hermione laughed.

"It's in their blood," I shrugged.

"Should've never brought them to the joke shop," Riley chuckled as I kissed her cheek.

*Natalie's POV*

Our entire family was now a part of Hogwarts, well...except for Lily and Louis. They still had one more year, but even without them there were so many of us. Wherever I looked I saw a familiar face. But I still had my small group: Samantha, Ollie, Aidan, Hunter, Patrick, and Maryann whenever she was around. But she spent more time with Scorpius and her own friends. When I walked into the Great Hall one Saturday morning I found Oliver sitting alone. Staring at a full plate of toast and eggs.
