Blue Belle {Fred Weasley}

Chapter 59

"Do you have to go?" Lyall asked Belle as he pulled her into a hug, squashing her to near-on death.

Belle chuckled, "You got me the ticket, Grandpa, besides it's only for a few days."

"I know,"he huffed, "too many in you father's eyes. Please stay safe but have fun."

Belle nodded, "I will try my best, thank you again, Grandpa, for the ticket."

"Nonsense, sweetheart, I have missed out on so much of your life and spoiling you so this is a start. Now go give your dad some love before he changes his mind about letting you leave." Lyall patted her back, pushing her towards Remus.

The pair hugged just as a crack sounded and Harley appeared. "You ready?" She asked her younger cousin who nodded.

"Look after yourselves." Both Remus and Lyall instructed the Lupin women.

"Yes sirs!" They both saluted before laughing. Harley held onto Belle's hand and disapparated  from the Lupin household.

From inside, the tired Weasley children ate their breakfast when a loud crack sounded outside. Both Bill and Fred perked up, looking outside of the window to see their girlfriends approaching the house.

Entering, Harley led Belle in and instantly Molly Weasley dropped all she was doing and rushed over to Belle. "Merlin's beard! It is lively to meet you!" She grinned hugging Belle, who awkwardly returned it. Mrs Weasley's hug was much stronger than her grandpa's and this time Belle could actually feel the air leaving her lungs.

"And..you.." She stuttered slightly from both nerves and breathlessness.

"Molly, dear, you taking the air from her lungs, literally." Mr Weasley commented as he placed a flat cap into his balding head.

Mrs Weasley pulled back, her hands still on Belle's arms. "Sorry, dear. Please, sit down. Have you had breakfast. There is enough."

"I have eaten, but thank you, Mrs Weasley, for the offer." Belle replied and out of the corner of her eyes she could see Fred staring at her with bacon hanging from his lips.

"Oh please, call me Molly." The woman smiled. "Now sit down, I'll make you a drink if you have already eaten."

"Don't bother protesting, you're lucky she's letting you off from eating." An elder redhead said approaching her, "Bill Weasley, pleasure to meet you."

"And you."

"And I'm Charlie." Yawned a slightly younger man. "Sorry, I arrived late last night and barley got a wink of sleep."

Belle sent him a small smile just as Arthur greeted her. She noticed Hermione and Harry sitting amongst the group and greeted the others before being pulled into a seat in between Fred and George, Fred keeping his arms around her.

"George stop messing around and eat the bacon in your mouth." Said Molly entering the room and placing some orange juice in front of Belle who thanked her kindly.

"He's not George, I am! Why would I be holding onto Belle?" George exclaimed, tiredly towards his mother, the early rise not reacting well with the children.

Fred sent a sheepish grin to his mother who swatted his head with a newspaper and handed Harley a drink as well. "Thank you, Molly."

"Honestly, boys of mine, you must look to the girls and Harry for manner lessons. I have two of you with food hanging from you mouth, one building a pile of hash browns, another smashing beans up, RONALD YOUR HEAD WILL BE IN YOUR BREAKFAST IF YOH DO NOT WAKE UP!"

The young boy shot up and grumbled causing the others to chuckle. "Merlin's beard, Arthur talk to your children whilst I finish making some sandwiches for you all." Molly sighed and exited the room.

"Bill stop building a tower of hash browns, Charlie quit smashing your beans, Fred, George please eat properly, Ron wake up, Percy stop reading and eat. Please, before your mother has my head!" Arthur cried causing Belle's eyes to widen and the Weasley boys to stop what they were doing.

Ginny noticed Belle's expression, "This is all perfectly normal compared to the first day back at school. Are you sure you still want to date my brother? Same goes for you Harley. I wouldn't want to."

"Ginevra, do I need to remind you of all of the little things you have done that we can use to ruin you?" Smirked Fred flicking a bean at her.

"Now, now, Fred please stop." Stated Bill.

"You do realise she just asked your girlfriend if she would like to back out of your relationship too, right?" Charlie turned to his older brother.

"Ginny!"

Whilst, Bill, Harley, Percy and Charlie were apparating later on to the World Cup, the rest of the group, excluding Mrs Weasley who wasn't attending, were walking part way.

Ron and Harry stuck to the back of the group, Ron complaining about the distance, whilst Hermione and Ginny were by Arthur at the front of the group, the twins and Belle in the middle. Fred held onto Belle's hand as he and George discussed new ideas they had come up with over the summer. "So we have..."

Belle listened to everything, impressed with what they had come up with when Harry called out to her. Still walking, she turned her head and looked over her shoulder. "Can I talk to you quick, please?"

Belle nodded, releasing Fred's hand and slowing her pace so that the younger boys could reach her. "What's up?"

"Has you dad, had any news from...Sirius?" Harry asked quietly.

Belle nodded her head, "he's gone into hiding. My dad knows where, I don't though. I'm sure I can pass on a letter to my dad to forward to him if you want?"

Harry nodded, "that would be awesome, thanks."

"No problem, Harry- Oh no! That's Cedric Diggory! The twins are still salty from when Hufflepuff won. This isn't going to go down well-"

"Hello!" Cedric smiled at the girl as she, Harry and Ron joined the group, who had stopped by Mr Diggory and his son, the quidditch captain for Hufflepuff.

"Hi." Belle replied, shortly, as Fred draped his arm over her shoulder, sending daggers at the boy.

When Cedric turned his attention back to his father, Belle slapped Fred in the stomach. "So jealous."

"Pfft, as if!"
